A correspondent Of the ~ \. Tribune
writing from Utica, commences commu'
nication to that paper as follows;
For near score Of years have been
an earnest advocate for a protective tariff
and for the doctrines contended for by the
Wing party, but am beginning to wayei
in my faith. Not but, in theory, our doc
trines are beautiful as in architecture an
Ionic temple; but what are they driving
us to2 That is the question! We are be-
coming powerful milton, wealthy peo-
pie; but somehow, just in proportion to
our wealth is our poverty; the toillng mil
lions are becoming more and more con-
centraied in cities and villages, and are
rapidly becoming ensa' ed to the usages
that Society establishes; and through the
very wealth they create are destroyed,
What remedy is there, if any, for this RAJ

TO which the Rochester american, a
lending and influential whig tariff paper
responds:
"To the important interrogatory con-
tanned in the conclusion Of the above eX-
tract, we reply, impose tax upon the i'm
migrant who comes TO our shores and here
makes the articles which he is not permit
ted 10 send in free Of duty; and by his
system of living in a cellar and upon half
rations can make as much money as if he
made his wares in the old country and
sent them TO us duty free. Mr., Clay's
American system is good as far as il goes,
but it is not sufficiently comprehensive--it
only imposes tariff upon the manulactur-
ed articles, and not upon the manufacturer.
consequently the business Of our mocha
MICS may all be totally ruined by this sys-
TEN, were the tariff in its present OPERA
lions never so high. The true policy calls
for tariff upon the manufacturer, the i'm
migrant who comes into the country TO

CHAPTER 1.
And ii came to pass in the 10th yeal
of American independence, of the twenty
eight tribes and in the tenth month of thai
year, in the reign of JAMES X. whose sir
name is Polk,
2 That the people of the County o.
Carroll of the tribe Of Mississippi, Assem-.
bled in the unwalled town of Carrolllon
with one accord, to see and hear the prin.
cipal men and Judges determine upon mat
ters between brethren;
That there arose sect called wings
who also lived Of a long time and are
scattered throughout all the twenty-eighi
tribes, who deny that the true oracles and
statutes are in the hands Of our chiet
ruler JAMES, whom all the people delight
to honor
A Then the five or six principle men Of
this sect called wings, in the unwalled
town of Carrolton assembled themselves
together and said,
1t is not reason that we should leave
off serving our principles Of whiggery and
lie, all the people go and all become de.
mocrats before our eyes.
6 Wherefore brethren, look We out two
men of good report and full of whiggery
who will say 10 the democrats, we will
give our vote for the man whom you de
light to honor,
7 A. g., whose sir.name is McNUTT,
for principal man from the tribe of Missis,
sippi TO go up to the great sanhedrim and
to our beloved city Of Washington,
8 To see to the safe keeping of the
true oracles and statutes delivered into the
hands of JAMES the chief ruler.

multitude Of whiggery, and they cast lots
and the lot fell on BENJAMIN whose sir.

Hickory GROVE, Oct. ii, 1915.
Mr., EDIToR-I was truly gratifed to
learn on last evening, that the democrats Of
Carroll had amicabIy adjusted and arrang-
ed their ticket for the present canvass
They now present to the public the men
Of their choice men Of worth, and Of
well earned popularity, and they call upon
their brother democrats throughout the
county to give them hearty and Jealous
support. Il is evident, Mr.. Editor, that
we, of the democratic party, have deci-
ded majority in Carroll county, if then we
permit the wings 10 elect their ticket, it
will be from our supineness rather than
their strength, and | would ask if case
can be cited in the whole history Of
present parties, where the wings have
majority, and yet elect democratic off,
ccrsl Will democrats, then, permit them
selves to be whcedIed out of their suffrage
by the professions Of men whose friend
ship is based merely upon the strength of
their vote, and who will afterwards laugh
at their ignorance, and the easy manner
they have been hoodwinked. | cannot
think that there is democrat in Carroll,
but that feels the important position which
he occupies and the necessity of voting
out his principles. The democrats of Car
roll now have "a majority--a majority which
they have won by hard and fiercely con-
tested struggle. Permit me, then, very
humble member Of their party, 10 appeal
to them and ask, will you now voluntary
surrender that power 10 those whom you
know will exercise it against you, and with
probably no hope if you now lose it, OF
gaining it soon again; or will you not
rather sacrifice those little preferences for
men (if any there should be) and go for
those great principles of your party which
will only be sustained by those who are cal
| led democrats. Yours, &c.

he went there TO get an Office, such al
Secretary Of State or Foreign appoint
ment Of the highest grade. II their sup
positions be true, il shows that ne had
very high opinion Of his talents, and was
patriotic enough to want to serve his coun'
try. II is said that Van Buren, treated the
Ittlc gentleman somewhat coidly, and
kindly nimaied TO him that his valuable
talents were not requisite. Whether this
treatment OF Van Buren's caused the HIS
toriaa Of Teras to change his politics,
am not certain: but that he did change
!hat year, is notorious. He became an
open and ayowed advocate of National
Bank, or ihieying shop; opposed the indie
dependent Treasury, and the regular De-
mocratic party in this State, He even
wheDt SO far that year in slandering Nc
Mutt, that his wing contemporaries became
ashamed Of him, and certificates were pro.
cured to show that Foote was circulating
what was not the fact This was done by
wings in Vicksburg, and Warren county.
During 1897, '3S and 80, Foote worked
faithfully for the wings. During this time
they elected him 10 the legislature from
Kinds county. While member he voted
for John Henderson to go TO the United
States Senate; this, and the introduction of
the gallon law, believe, WEIR the only two
things that he done worthy Of being re.
membered. The first indicated any thing
but love for democracy, the last indicat-
cd a great rant Of common sense.
II is generally believed that if Clay had
been nominated by the Wing Convention
in 1889, that Foote would have voted for
him in ls4e. Between Harrison and
Van Buren,, he went for the hitter. Since
that time, he has been acting with the de-
mocrats. | will conclude his history in
my next. A LOCOFOCO.

cd 10 this State some fifteen years ago.
He is fine, gentlemanly fellow, with
great coloqual powers, a good education,
aud some talent, mostly OF the windy,
bombastic order. He may be compared,
with propriety, to ship wilhou, rudder or
ballast. A ship thus situated would be
sometimes in the right track, but very Of.
len wrong, In calm weather,with smooth
sea, such a ship might do iolerably WE'LL
but in stormy weather, with rough sea,
wo could not tell with any certainty the
course Of such vessel. He has often
heen ia The Democratic ranks. but not al
ways. In 1885, he was, as J am Inform
ed, very much in favor Of White for the
Presidency; bu, ! suppose he did vote fol

or We learn that the wing candidates
for County Representatives are election
eering as M'Nutt men! {" VIII wonders
never cease We had supposed that the
supporters Of Gov. MNutt, in the demo-
cratic party, were the last men whom the
wings would attempt to seduce. M'Nutt
has declared in his address that ho will on
y accept the station al the hands Of a ma
jority Of the democratic party. His polili-
cal course, and hia public and private cha
racier, are now, and have been for years,
standing themes of denunciation by the
whig party, with scarce adissenting voice.
Surely, there must be some 'error of the
moon" when wings avow preference for
him. Iilsstrange, passing strange unae-
couniable--very.
We think we can furnish partial clue
10 this apparent mystery. Of this more
anon.
We will only now say that we have much
mistaken the character Of our political assoc
eiaies, the supporters Of Gov. M'Nuu, if a
single one can be induced to support the
wing ticket.

mr. Capt, ]. A, BiNfoED and Judge 3. F
CAHurnEhs are announced in the las, Whig
Greed as tho wing candidates for County

nation Of these gentlemen as a tacit admis-
sion tina, whiggery is in a minority In this
county To besure both Of them are wings
for al useful purpo-es--that ID to say, they
always act and vote with the wings. But
both qaatfy their whiggery, 30 TO speak,
and Il 10 for this reason that they have been
persuaded to become candidates. Capt,
Bnford is a STATE Rights Whig-of the par
~ oneo called +" NbHfors"--a party form
ed for but one purpose, as it were, and that
purpose opposition to the Protective Tariff
system. II we do not misunderstood the
Captains position, land we would not will
fully represent him. no is still opposed to
ahigh protective tariff, processes to be a
hard money man, and is theoretically de-
mocraic on several other points. But from
some unaccountable cause, inexplieable to
us, TIE ALWAYS Acrs AND VOTES, AND IS
fully IDENTIFIED WITH Tue WING rARrY.
We spoke some time since Of certain men
in our ranks who are " with US but not OF
usi' Capt. B. ION many points, il Of us,
but never Nth us. Upon what pretext
any democrat can vote for Capt Bniord, in
preference to our democratic candidates,
who have been ALWAYS WITH Us, is be-
yond our conception, and past our COM
prehension And the result will show that
himself and friends, in calculating upon
democratic votes, arc reckoning without
their host"
We do not know that Judge CARuTnERs
calculates upon democratic votes, but he
has never been considered a rabid whig.
In his Coheevile letter Of l843, he qualif-
ed bis political soubriquet by calling him
self a Republican Wing and now, we be-
lioye, he goes the whole figure IN the use
Of contradictory terms, and styles himself
a Democratic Wing But whatever name
he may adopt, he has always been, like his
colleague, true 10 his party--ior a Bank,
Tariff, nc. against Teras, in short, whig
oil over, the entire coon when voting or
action was to be done. As such, he has no
right to expect democratic votes.
Let our democratic friends DO up and do
ing, and let each man act as il tho result
depended on his individual sxertions. Our
candidates arc good men and true demo
crais--in no wise inferior to their very wor-
thy opponents, in any respect. The poll.
litical issue fairly made, success is certain
And tho democrat who now deserts his
party, or suffers himselfto be whecded in.
10 the support of wings on trivial pretexts
is unworthy the name, and the good cause
ho processes to advocate. We have no
fears that there be any such.

The GAME OF BRAe.--It is the general
impression, commonly asserted, always
believed, and 50 far as we know never
conuadicted, that the great embodiment
OF modern whiggery, that same old Harry
coon, is, or in past times was, remarkably
fond Of the game Of brag, All wings have
native proclivity,' as our neighbor says,
TO brag--espccially on the eve Of an cleo
ton. This game is one Of tho great prin-
ciples,' leading tenet Of whiggery, and
no man can DO good whig' until he has

70 magnify Tho mos. remote hope OF sue
cess into decided victory. True to this
principle our wing friends are now boast
ing Of certain success inahis county, ana
will do so until tho votes are counted out.

thatit is entirely unnecessary TO caution
