DIED,

At the residence Of her daughter in this
county, on the 9th of October, Mrs. ANN
MCWLLIE, in the 10th year of her age.
The deceased had been for many years
a pious AMI exemplary member of the
presbyterian church, and died in the full
hope of that reward which awaits those
who have cherished the prtcePts of vir-
tue and religion. She was, during the
period OF a long and uefll life, ever kind
and attentive 10 those who were thrown
upon her protection, or recommended
them' elves to her affections by worth and
merit. Arrived at a mature AMI serene
Old age, she was ready and willing for the
hour of departure, leaving behind her
nothing to regret, except the sorrowing
friends who had known her only by acts of
gentleness and affection. AS her memory
will be haliowed in the recollection of
those relatives and friends who survive
her, so the excellence of her life, should
afford a model for their imitation.

THE CONVENTIONS

From the din of preparation every where it
seems that the Wing Conventions at Baltimore on
the LIST and I'd of May will be attended by tens and
twenties, if not hundreds of thousands. The at
fractions unusual: there is the opportunity of
meeting fellow citizens from every section of the
Unon-and of hearing distinguished orators--of
visiting Washington city, with its statesmen and
its public budngs-of visiting the home and grave
of Washington at Mount Vernon-of seeing the
largest of American cities, viz. New York. and two
of the most beautiful, viz Philadelphia and Balti-
more and to this we add, that return in
to attend the great religious and benevolent
anniversary meetings at New York---all, too, at
an unusually moderate expense. Again we say,
let the east side of the Green Mountains be fully
represented The West will turn out well.

"ORANGE County KLAY KLuB" A writer in
the last Vermont Patriot displays great familiarity
with the contents of Shakespeare and Byron, under
the above title. Now this may all be very well,
and for ought we know very laughable, but it GER
tany is not very convincing. Ridicule is weap-
on, as often employed by the one side as the other
and it as frequently Injuries the party employing it,
as it does his opponents. Gen. Harrison was
laughed at as an old granny" but this did not
hinder his election to the Presidency.
As the writer seems well acquainted with the
pages of Byron, Iwould commend for his consider
alton the following lines:
his time to every trade
Save censure-cIitics all ready made
Take hackney ed jokes from Miller, got by rote,
With Just enough of learning to misquoe
A mind well skill'd to find OF forge a fault
A for puuning call it Attic Salt
Fear to ic twill sharper hit
Shrink not from basphemy, twill pass for wit,
Care not for feeling, pass your proper Jest,
And stand critic, hated yet oaressed o. X.

THE LOCOFoCO TARIFF.

It is said now, on Locofoco authority, that this
abomnable bill cannot pass even the House. we
should not wonder at it's defeat there: but no thanks
to the Lccofocracy. They have shown their teeth,
and if they do not attempt TO bite, it is because
they are conscious the Wing Senate will at once
clap the muzzle upon their mouths, and the nation
drive them into obscurity. Mr.. Van Buren, has
most clearly pledged himself against both the prin-
ciples and Tie dctails of the Wing Tariff and if his
friends in the House dare not pass this bill, it is
clearly from fear of the consequences--from fear
that it will defeat their master--from mere policy,
not from principle. The Locofoco leaders have
brought in this bill, with report; the Locofoco
majority has flooded the country with 10000 extra
copies of that report in .fdror Of the bill. They
have PIT the issue 10 The country and virtually asked
the country to support them. If now they sneak
out from the issue which they have tendered-from
their oCn bH-from their o,cn report, which was
carried in the House by party vote,-they will
have demonstrated their hypocrisy will have
proved, either that their proposed reduction was
mere gull-trap to conciliate the Free Trade men
of the South, or that their suffering the bill to fall
is to humbug the North with the belief that they
are not against Protection. 1t looks like the old
double-deaing Of 1923, when they succeeded in
both North and South by riding two hobbies The
North was cheated in the game them and we GER
tuiny have ne sort of doubt that they will cheat US
again--if they can. That they cannot is pretty
certain, in our estimation Yankee is not to be
swindled out of his rights twice. Whatever the
Locos do-whether they stick to their bill, or like
towards desert tive feel proud to point from the
wbilling and wagering ranks of Locofocoism to the
solid columns Of Wings, in both branches of Con-
gress. They are not divided; there is not even a
doubt of the vote Of more than one Wing in either
branch they stand openly and immovaby against
reducing the Wing Tariff of 40. They are the
men to be admired trusted; and we are
sure that if the American people are true to them
selves and the great cause of Protcctlon-of indie
pendence, indeed-the Wings of 1874 will be tri-
umphantly sustained.

Whg! What sort of a Wing was he when he
suffered himself to be bribed by i Loco committee
and what sort of Wing is he, when the Wing
House of Representatives impeaches him by a
unanimous Wing vote? We know not and care
not whether he was or was not Wing: he is evil
IDENTIFY corrupt Judge, and the Locofoco leaders
in New Orleans were the men who corrupted him
The Wings of that State are bent upon furnishing
him; and the only regret of every honest man must
be- that the law cannot reach the Locofocos who
participated in his crime and still endeavoring
to she the voice of the freemen of New Orleans
by illegal alien votes At Locofoco meeting in
the second municipality, holden on the Goth ult.
the following resolution was passed to ensure the
reception of illegal votes:
Resored, That the Executive and Ward Committees of the
Municipality be earnestly requested to APPOINT ONE
HUNDRED DEMOCRATIC RESIDENTS TO ATTEND
EACH POLL, AND MAINTAIN AND DEFEND THE
RIGHTS OF DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.

See first page. The occasion of the speech was
this the locos were pressing through the new sub
treasury bill under the gag-Mr. Stewart got the
floor between two motions for the previous ques-
tons, and in anticipation of a gag on the Tariff,
delivered his BRIEF but pthy and powerful speech
in favor Of protection and against the Locofoco
Tariff The Locos of course tried to stop him, but
he defed the gag successfully.

NF}RMATIoN OF THE FRAUD.

An election for Mayor of New Orleans has been
held; the illegal voters were excluded in one Of
the three municipalities. In the one where they
were excluded, the Wings succeeded; while the
two, where the illegal votes were admitted, went
for the Locos. The Loco majority for Mayor was
193-showing LOSS OF FOUR HUNDRED
since the election few weeks ago. 1t is perfectly
clear from this that the city would have been Wing
had not the illegal votes been admitted in the
two municipalities. In other Words it is clear that

and when requested to do so, declined. He moves
always under the care of friend, and seems to be
more conscious of his mental infirmities than 9TH

THE WEATHER.

We have astonishingly smart thermometers or
astonishing weather in this part of Yankee DOM
A few weeks ago and it was but ordinary every
day sort of job for the thermometers here to walk
down to 400 beioto zero; and last week, by way of
a change, they walked plump up to 10 (Fahren-
heit above zero, in the shade, and on Sunday, the
18th, to $50 above zero. Indeed, the weather was
delightful for the whole week,-but rather too warm
for comfort on some of the days.
