THE LAW AGAINST DUELIING.

The arch-hypocrite Kendall, who writes lbels
for Locoloco members of Congress to frank at the
public expense, has already learned that the Wings
have blows to give as well as tako-and to give,
too, backed by the power of truth. We apprehend
that the Locooco leaders will also learn that in at
tempting to make party capital out of dueling, they
are doing losing business. Last week we said
that the blood of Cilley was in their skirts; and
now we intend TO show the conduct of the Wings
and contrast the heartless and hypocrtical course
of the Locos. Immediately after the Cilley duel,
a Wing Senator of our own State Judge Prentiss)
introduced bill to prohibit challenges to duels in
the Dist of Columbia and for the punishment there
of. This was on the 9th of April, 1888; and in a
short time it was passed by the Senate ayes "a,
Including Henry Clay himself, and every Wing
Senator may |, (Seyier, Loco) This bill was
then sent TO the House--a Locofoco House, from
which Cilley had just been taken to his grave-and
on the LIST of May, 1888, the bill was reported
Now mark it: that House spent days in discussing
resolutions about the Cilley duel, endeavoring to
make party capital out of it and yet from the LIST
day of May to the 9th day of July, it could not find
time to pass this bill to punish duellists! The bill
found its grave in that House.
At the earliest moment of the next session, Mr..
Prentiss introduced his bill again, viz on the 9th
of December. Jan. %, Mr.. Clay of Alabama IA
Loco moved to strike out the penalty for going out
of the District to give receive challenge: lost,
Henry Clay voting against it. Jan. "a, the bill was
passed: ayes q, Henry Clay, and all the WhigS
6m one, rotng aye j nays 7-aN Locos sare one
This bill went to the House, and finally under the
watchful care of its author, was fortunate enough
to gain the assent Of majority. We have not yet
been able to get the ayes and noes in the House
but when succeed, it will doubtless turn out, as
in the Senate that by far the largest proportion Of
noes came from the Locofoco ranks--from the same
who suffered the bill to be lost at the previous
session. From these facts it seems that not only
has Mr.. Clay in latter years denounced duelling,
and RETAINED from duelling, but has also voted on
every occasion to make it a crime punishable by
statute; while on the other hand many of his ira
ducers are found guilty of countenancng the crime
by voting against Mr.. Prentss' bill, In the light
of these facts, how miserable seems the late trick
of Locofocoism. Pretty fellows these, to be pratt
ing about duels, one fought 30 years ago, and the
other Is years ago. "Satan rebuking sim"

IA Hale GtiioD treH met PA few days ago ]. p,
Hale, NJ. c. from Now Hampshire, in opposing a
private claim took occasion most pOthetically to la
ment the wrongs inflicted upon the hard listed De.
mocracy by taking their money to pay these debts
Mr.. Tilden of Ohio replied, reminding the House
of the beautiful exemplifcation it was making of
democracy, by paying Gen. Jackson's fine and at
the same time resisting the small claims of old sol
diers for services performed, and concluded by say
ing that when Mr.. Hale next softsoaped the "hard-
listed democracy" he had better take of his black
kid giopes. The House roarcd-all eyes were turn
ed to the boastful Democrat in gloves-but he had
vanished.

TIE PROSPECT.

With proper exertions-by putting forth to the
people Wing principles, and defending them thro'
the press and public meetings, and when the tri-
al comes, by bringing out all the Wing strength
a Wing triumph at the next Presidential election
is CERTAIN. On such a triumph hangs Protec-
of the Public Lands-a sound
Curency-economy in the public expenditures
restriction Of Executive patronagc-one Presiden-
tial Term-and the limitation of the Veto; or to
sum up all in single sentence prosperity to the
people, and a guarantee for the purity and perpot-
uation Of this Republic. We say, if the Wings
do their dutyif they keep ,chat they hare got, and
get ,chdt they cdn-success is certain Let US looks

States were carried by the Wings at the last cleo

TIE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

For the information Of Delegates we are enabled
to say that fares have been reduced to the follow
ing:
Burlington to Whitehall rs cents.
Whitehall to Troy by packet, 100
by" g. rail road, 80
From Troy to New-Yorli the price varies from
81 and less, TO 49, From New-York 10 Philade
phia we believe the fare is 49, and from Philadel-
pha to Baltimore the fare for three days before and
after the Convention will be s. for passage both
ways. According to these rates, the fare going
from this place and returning will not exceed S25.
This is for transportation merely, not including
board. We advise every delegate to carry no bag
gage more than is absolutely necessary-no more
than he can carry himself; for the expense of trans
poraton of baggage from hotels to steamboats,, and
on the change of cars, makes round item in such
journey as this and in addition, there the risk

Mr.. Fan Buren, on The Tariff.

er on the Tariff authortatvely states (;
"Whateyer doubts may have heretofore existed
in certain sections of our country, to the degree
of protection advocated by Mr.. Van Buren,, those
doubts are now happily removed. The Free Trade

satisfied that on this aii-important question, Mr.. Ydn

difficult, and will require doctrine different from
that contained in the Indiana letter. Tribune.

of Mr. N. is correct the two gentlemen have only
