THE LOCO FOCO STATE CONVEN

Resolred, That experience has shown tina
the protection afforded by the present tariff
TO the wool grower, is inadequate and ha;

dctions of the democratic party upon the sub

Experience has shown directly the reverse
to every man who has given any sensible
heed 10 it. in respect 10 the pra ctical working
( of the tariff. The authors OF that resolution
knew they were penninga deliberate falshood
when they drew it up. They knew, as we
all know, that the tariff of AZ does successful
ly protect the wool grower against the ef-
/ feels of foreign competition. The democrat
ic parfu. never predicted that it was mad
equate for that purpose. They may have
supposed, in a certain event, it would prove
ineffectal to secure the full measure of lis le-
gitimate benefits to the wool grower. That
such would be the case, was the often repa-
ted prediction of the Wing party, in the last
canvass. IfPolk should be elected, it was
felt and proclaimed 10 be certain, that it
would iniuriously affect the wool growing

Go forth and know the influence nature yield
To soothe the wearied heat
Leave We the feverish strife,
The jostling, eager, selfdevoted throng:-
Ten thousand voices, walked anew 10 life,
Call you with sweetest song.
Hark from each fresh clad bough,
Orblissfu! soaring in the golden air,
Glad birds, with joyous music, bid you now
To springs loved haunts repair.
The silvery cleaning rills
Lure, with soft murmers, from the grassy lea.
Or, gaily dancing down The sunny hills,
Call loudly in their glee
And, the young, wanton breeze,
With breath all odorous from her blossomy chase
In voice low whispering 'mong theembowering

Go-breath the air of heaven,
Where violets meekly smile upon your way,
Or on some ne-crowned summit, tempest-riven,
Your wandering footsteps stray
Seek yc the solemn wood,
Whose giant trunks Yerdant roof appear,
And listen, while the roar of some far flood
Thrills the young leaves with fearl
Stand by the Tranquil lake,
Sleeping mid rocky banks abrupt and high,
Save when the wild birds wing its surface break,
Chequerng the mirrored sky
And ifwilhin your breast
Hallowcd 10 Natures touch, one cord remain.
Taught save worldly honors find you blest,
Or hope Of sordid gain
A strange delight shall thrill,
A quiet Joy brood DER you like dove;
Earth's placid beauty shall your bosom fill,
Stirring its depths with love.

The holy Sabbath hours, when sleeps the air,
And heaven, and earth, decked with her beaute-

And, meath the temple ofthe uplifted sky,

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT ALGIERS.
The intelligence which has Just come to
hand from Algeria, gives an account of the
massacre of thousand Arabs by the French.
The cavern OF Dahra, where the Arabs had
taken refuge, was the scene Of this horrible
affair. Here they we're hemmed in, faggots
were lighted, and the unfortunate wretches
were burnt and sufocated in their places of
refuge. When the cave was entered, scene
to revolving for description presented itself;
about seventy persons who were still living,
expired as soon as they were brought TO open
air. Eight hundred bodies have been taken
out, and many remain behind.
The name of the officer by whose orders
this unsoldier-like massacre was consummated
is Pelissier. The affair has engendered
much surprise and no small amount ofind;g-

SYRIA.
The French papers publish lamentable de-
tails respecting the civil war between the Mar
onltes and the Druses, and the criminal neg
ligence Of the Turkish authorities. "The
Maronites," says the Constitutional, have
suffered most severely. They have lost more
than 1000 of their people, among whom
women. children, aud aged men form ma
jority. The loses of the Dues amount TO
about 1000 persons, and them for the most
abled bodied men. All the Christian villages
in the mixed districts have been burnt, the
harvest ravaged, and their mulberry trees des-
troyed. In a word their ruin IS complete
