stimulated by high protective duties, and
consequent high prices, producing large
quantities Of fine Saxony, Brussels and
ingram carpetIng,a fabricated from wool
imported at a duty of .fve per cent, and
when we see handsome printed woolens,
worn by gen,eel young men, and many
other handsome saleable articles, all fab
rcatcd from the same cheap foreign ma
terial, we are apt to think that the act OF
40 was not, after all, designed for the
special benefit of the farmers "interests. y
One of the largest branches of business
carried on in the Auburn prison is the
manufacturing Of carpets, which, says the
Auburn editor, are made from foreign
mool. Now how could this be if wool
were sufficiently protected so as to bene-
fit the farmer? All know it could not.
From the OSwcgo Palladium.
"TuE TARIFF ON WHOLESOME of
our whig friends,we are happy operceive
have the candor and manliness to admit,
that the paItry tariff of three and haB
mills per pound on wool, is no protection
to the wool grower. So far SO good
Stick IA pin there. But, it is contended
that the high tariff on cloth operates as
protection to the wool grower. Let US
see how this is. There was last year d
handsome advance in the price of wool
from the previous year, and still greater
rise in the price of cloth, all OF which
we're reckoned among the blessed effects
of our glorious tariff. This year there is
falling off IN the price of wool-but is
there in cloth? Are manufactures stop
ping. and the business languishing' We
believe nothing of this kind is pretended.
The manufacturing business, for aught we
know, is as good as it was last year.
Now, we desire that this may be account
ed for. The apprehensions that the tar
if may be repealed, injurousIy affects the
price Of wool, but does not operate a.
gainst the interests of the manufacturers
in the least! For our part, we had sup
posed the latter more likely to be affected
by any consideration of that sort than the
former, and we are confident that ration
al, common sense men, must take the
same view of the matter. 1t is perfectly
evident to us, thot the reduction in the
price of wool is occasioned, almost en-
tirely by the quantities of that article in
market, and We do not believe that this
opinion can be successfully gainsayed."
The facts above stated cannot be got
around or put down. 1t is also folly to
a law equal in its operations which leaves
Il duty Of 5 per cent. on the raw material
and 40 per cent. on the article into which
it is manufactured. Yet such does the
present tariff law.

THE PINKEYES.

These people seem determined 10 make
something to themselves at the coming
election out of the temperance question
by declaring that the Democratic party
IS the Rum party. The Democratic par.
ty as a party have always believed and do
still believe that it is better to pursuade
than to force men in matters of conscience,
out Of that the Pinkcyes can make all
they please. AS general thing the dem
ocratS voted the Liberal ticket last winter,
out of that, also, the Pnkeyes may
make all they can; and while they believe
in Temperance in all things" and would
do all in their power to dssuade men from
INDUCING in any and all evil habits, they
cannot believe that the rawhide and the
sleds,ake are the most persuasive argu-
ments in the world to apply to the con-
sciences Of men.
The Liberal party, founded last winter,
to defend themselves from ianatascism
ard vile persecution will, as matter Of
course, choose between General Kellogg
and William Slade the founder OF the
Pimkcye party and who wrote over the
signature of"A. B." last winter in de-

DETECTION IN THE P. O. REVENUE

DETECTION IN THE P. O. REVENUE.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune, under date of Aug.
Ia, writes as follows:
| understand that the detection in the
revenue of the Post Office department since
The LIST oil July. when the new law went in
to operation, exceeds the expectation oil
those who have charge of that department.
Where ii has been usual for the receipts
at Postolfice to amount to 600 a week
they have now fallen to little more than
S2OO-and so in proportion. In New
York. New Orleans and Philadelphia the
falling off has been nearly as great. In.
stead of revenue of nearly four millions,
1t is therefore probable that the revenue of
the first year of the experiment will not
much exceed million and half. 1t will
be remembered that Congress appropria-
ted $4,000 to make up the expected dc
ficlency; but this will fall far below the ne
cesstles of the services; and il is very
probable that this sum will be consumed in
the payments of the contracts for the first
two quarters. They are very busy at the
Department sending offletter balances, the
postage Of which will of course constitute
charge on the treasury; and as the pos
tage on each OF these packets will amount
to about three times as much as the first
cost of the balances, the Department vii
make money out olthe transaction.

The Free Press takes US to task for
assuming it to be true that the obnoxious
feature of this charter was not fairly pass
ed. We know no more about this matter
than what has been told US, and we can
only say that we have not yet found a sim
gle member of The Legislature fthe ses-
sion of lS43, who knows anything about
the clause in the Central charter Of which
we complain. We can find as we have
said before, scores who were in the House
at the time the bill passed who declare
that they did not hear that clause read
and many who 60 so far as to say that it was
not read! Last year, when we stated, in
the Age, that such clause could be found
IN the charter Of the central Railroad, the
members of the Legislature, of the session
at which it was passed, in this region,to a
man, pronounced our assertion false, and
our mention of it the first they had ever
heard Of such clause, and declared that
never to their knowledge did they vote for
such clause; and member of the House
committc on Roads said, Eastman was in
an error"-staled positively that no such
clause was to be found in the bill and
would not reinquish his opinion until he
had examined the clause in the charter in
published acts of the session. Upon the
strength of such facts we made the asser-
tons of which the Free Press complains.
Here are the facts-A law is found to have
been passed at session of the Legislature.

HINTS ON THE CHOICE OF A SHoE.-The
secret Of a well.fting shoe, or rather OF
a good. looking shoe, and it's upon this
principle that all French shoemakers pro-
coed, but all English cobblcrs do not, is
that it should be much longer than the
foot itself, at least an inch or an inch and
a half longer. And for these two reasons:
first, that, since a squat, broad, dumpy
foot is much uglier than long thin one
therefore you may always diminish the
appearance of breadth, by adding to the
reality of length; and next, that when the
shoe is long The toes have plenty of room
and commonly It's here that "the shoe pin
ches." No one has corns on his heels
or the sides Of his feet, let his shoes or
boots be as narrow as he can well bear

The Wigs and Tras.-The Boston
Atlas says that "Iherc ~iH be opposition
firm, dccidcd, taih)ul, strenuous opposition
10 that (Texas) measure, in every shape
and jorm IN which itmay come up," Sc,
&c. 1t expects this opposition, also, from
every whig member "of either house."
The wings Of New England, it seems
from this, will follow the example set by
their political fathers, the federalists OF
New England, in the Louisiana purchase.
When the state of Louisiana was admit
ted, Josiah Quincy viewed it as a signal
dissolve the Union, peaceably if he could
forcibly ifhe must.
But the signs of the times indicate that
the wings ofthc south ard west, who like
Mr. Clay, are "glad" to see Texas annex
ed, will not yoke up with the northern
wings and aboltionists. Some Of their
presses, already, have grounded arms
Some Of their orators have began to claim
annexation as whig measure! What
does Mrs Grundy of,he Atlas say to this?
1t is to be hoped that the patriotic of
all parties who think that annexation is a
wise measure, will not be scarcd by the
threats of desperate partizans. Though
the Legislature have solemnly declared
that the annexation law "have no binding
force whatever"upon the people, yet there
will be no rebellion. The Atlas may cir
culate treason pledges. The leaders may
join with the aboIitionists in raising COM
mlttees of correspondence. However the
party instruments may pipe, the people
will not dance. Old Massachusetts ere
long will welcome in Texas.

tcles, it has had the contrary effect with
wool; that the wing rule of high tariff,
low prices" does not work both ways, and
is humbug. i,
II we were called upon to exp lain the
cause olthe depression in the wool market
at this time, we should say it is because
there is evidently larger supply IN the
country than is needed for immediate cen
sumption. A scarcity, and not the tar'I''
was the cause of the rise last year one-

Let the Legislature declare i, public

the grievance" The charter is declared
to be a "pubIic act" for the public bcne-
ft-who, then, denies but that the Legis-
lature have an undoubted right, to repeal
it, Has not the Legislature right to
repeal any or all public acts" At any
rate, let the people send men to Montpel-
