slavery for endless generations throughout
the whole American Continent. But the
self-styIed Democracy of Vermont will find
that this base subserviency to the slaveocratic
power will doom them to certain and speedy
overthrow.
The first resolution which elected discus
sion was one which charged the reduction in
the price Of Wool to the Wing Tariff. Ii
was certainly lamentable to see man of the
capacity of WyIIis Lyman so recently from
the Wing ranks, placing at the door of the
Wings the diminutive duty on coarse wool in
the tariff Of 1912 which the Wings would
have gladly raised, but against which. and
indeed against protection on wool OF every
description the Locos waged an extermIna-
ting war. Indeed. during the last session OF
Congress the Tariff nearly fell under the saw
age strokes Of these ferocious enemies. The
Union, the we'll accredited organ OF the pres
ent administration has declared that " a tariff
for protection cannot be endured" and repeal,
repeal is vociferated from one end OF slave
dom TO the other. Why then this hypocriti-
cal canting of the Democracy against tariff
whose defects at any time since its passage
! they have had il in their power TO remedy hut
have the rather used every possible means 10
crush intoto so far as the principle of protec-
ton is involved. Indeed, one Of the most
powerful motives for. the infamous annexa-
alton PROJECT has been the overthrow Of tho
protective tariff by the ascendancy of South
eru influence and Southern votes, which the
contilu al multiplication of slave States cary
ed out of Texas and Mexico will yield them.
But the CHEF oratorical strength OF the
Convention was eAhauste in fulsome lauda-
tons OF General Jackson. To any sincere
friend to republican freedom IT is truly lam
entabIe to witness the servile adnation which
is paid TO any man, and especially 10 man
Ike Gen. Jacgson, whose military career was
not more glorious to himself and his country
than his civil administration was dis.rac. fui
and disastrous. As successful warrior his
countrymen have every reason to respect his
memory; but as the civil administrator ofthe
government, his course has been such rs en-
titles him TO nothing hut the unqualified dis
Of every enlightened citizen of
the Union. Daring, despotic and wilful in
his temper, by which in the absence of every
quality ola statesman he was entirely control
cd ne recklessly ,rampled upon individual
and more than once upon the laws and
Constitution of his country. Administering
the government for party aud not for the peo-
pie, he was the first 10 Introduce the spoils
system, which must al last end 10 the erection
OF a monarchy on the ruins of the republic. :
Without law or right he seized upon The pub- ,
lie treasury. He used every effort 10 con-
cenirate all legislative power in his own hands,
exercised the veto regardless of Con 5ress and
the Constitution,w aged war with any effirient

his days in advocating the infamous anuexa-
ton scheme which will forever subject the
government 10 the slave power. end the pros
per.ty Of the North. and eventually the Union
OF the States.
Such are the sentiments which the Wing
parry entertained of General Jackson during
his lie; and moi only wings but even many
oflhoSe who now open their lips onlyto pour
forth The most disgusting streams of aduIa-
lion upon the Gernigod OF their own creation,
once pronounced him "a man uhose han,!s

lions actually tainted the bree-es Of tie Re

But now we are called upon by the orators
oGthe Loco Convention TO bow down and
worship at the throne of Andrew Jackson.
and one of them pronounced even a
Wing who would not thus st;ltify himself, and
make a solemn mockery ofhis conscience and
his principles as POOR prayerless creature
who ought TO be cxecrated q despised by cv-

We shall never be deferred by such idle 1
menaces from expressing our honest con-
victons OF General Jackson, or be induced 10
unite IN hcaping, indscriminate praise upon
a man whom we regard rs the source of so
many deplorablo evils to his country, and du-
ring whose civil administration the historian
will date the decline and fall of our noble re-
public.
We shall publish, the resolutions next week
with comments Of large.
