PIE STANDARDS "FlL1HsoD EXPOSED"

The editor Of the Standard, in his pa
per Of last week, attempts to prove that
Mr.. elsyspeaks falsely in one Of his late
letters, when he says, Cotton, hemp,
wool, manufactures of tobacco, and other
articles of agricultural product, are now
protected" The Standard argues. that
although we all know there is duty Of
three cents on the pound Of cotton, yet
&" that duty affords no protection. for the
simple reason that an article produced, as
cotton is, beyond the home demand, cam
not be affected by imports. III other
words, the American people do not i'm
port any coiton-they raise enough and
to spare;' and consequently the duty omit
ran haze no s6sct." This argument, we
fancy, will prove more than the Standard
intends. Many of the manufactures OF
thisrcountry, protected by the present ta-
Titf; are already produced in; quantities
"beyond the home demand" and some
of them, particularly manufactured coitons,
are exported in considerable quantities,
Now the effect of this competition at
home has been to reduce the prices of all
these articles. just as the over-production
has had the effect Of reducing the price Of
cation. But the Standard has totally diff
ferent rules of argument in the two cases.
The producers Of cotton are not protected
by a. duty of three. cents on the pound,
because they produce more than enough
to supply the " home demand" but ST.
milar duty in favor of the manufacturers
of cotton, under precisely the same cir.
cumstancess is an oppression upon the
people too grievous to be borne In the
one case, he says, "tke dutyca haveno
effect" but in the other, "the farmer is
taxed for the benefit of the rich porthern
manufacturer Z! Al this, to the editor oil
the Standard, may appear.very consistent,
and he doubtless expects to.g,I..al many o.

THE STANDARDS LOVE or rRrTa

The Standard says that Thomas VIII
son Dorr was convicted by packed ju-
~ Of Federalisis of treason to the charter
of Charles the Second" and " is now con-
fined in dungeon,in'RhOde Island with
thiwesaand murderers."
These falsehoods have been repeated
by the Standard, for the very dishonorable
purpose of exciting prejudice against MIR.
Clay and the Wings, although he knows
Mr.. Clay has had no more to do with the
transaction than he has himself. But Mr..
Dorr was not convicted Of " ueasonto the
charter Of Charlss the Second but OF
treason against the state Of Rhode Island,
BY actually levying war, and threatening
the lives Of his fellow citizens, and blood
was not made to flow, and he thereby be-
come a murderer, only because he lacked
courage to carry out his purpose. lie
was convicted, too, no, by "packed ju-
ry," but upon a fair trial; the Standard
very well knows that it is scarcely, posi-
bic to make up packed jury against
a man on trial for a capital offence.
The law has cast around him an eilcciual
shield TO protect him from injustice, by
giving him the right of peremptorlly chal'
longing certain number Of jurors, and
all others against whom he cen allege
sufficient cause; and moreorcrgives him
the right to remove his trial, il he thinks
he has reason to apprehend. the existence
Of prejudice or excitement against him
which would prevent his having lair
trial in the county in which the offence -
alleged TO have been committed. Inc
other allegation of the Standard is equally
destitute of truth. Tic editor knows that
Mr.. Dorr is not confined in dungeon
but in light and comfortable room; ana
that no undue rigor has been exercised
towards him; bat on the contrary, he las
been treated with great indulgence Dis
employment being only to "paint 'ans'
&c. and other light work. And even c.
this he could relieve himself tomorrow II
