During the campaign between Gen.
Jackson and John @. Adams for the
Presidency. there was preaching eight
or nine miles north of your village. Aft
ter the preacher had been some time
strenuously holding forth as he thought,
the object of his mission, he made a
short pause, and with his penetrating
eyes fixed upon his audience, he de.
llbera'ciy pu, the question: "All who
are for God! will hold up their right
hand!' The preacher waited some
time for compliance. but all was si-
lent as the grave-not one finger was
raised. "Well," says he. "all who
are for the devil, let them raise their
hands" But this only made his audi
ence more motionless than before,
when he exclaimed, why. NONE for
Godl and NONE for the devil! who are
you for!' AT that request an old
brulser raised up his head. and cried
out at the top of his voice--"We are
ALL for JACKSON, by The law"

THE FIRE AT WINCHESTER, (vA,)

We are gratifed to find that the fire which hap.
pened at Winchester last Tuesday afternoon was
not near so destructive in its effects as might be
inferred from the brief note abiding to it which
reached here on Wednesday night. Since then we

UNION AND HARMONY.

While the Washington " Union," the organ Of
the entire Democratic party Of the nation, is pro-
claiming war against the Tariff of 1912, the Har-
risburg " Union," as the organ Of the Democracy
of Pennsylvania, is active in its defence. The last
number of the latter " Union" says: The public
/" voice is speaking through the columns Of the
/" press in many portions of the State in favor of
" holding Convention at this place, on the 10th of
next month, to take into consideration the impor-
/" tant subjectof the Tariff. We like the idea much,
" and, as citizens of Pennsylvania, feel anxious,that
" it shall be carried into effect, certain that much
" good would flow from it."

FACT AGAINST THEoRy.-The value Of railroad
iron in Liverpool at our last advices was gl2 S.,
or very nearly $50 per ton, with prospect of go
ing up, too If we had continued to import it free
of duty, and thus largely increased the present and
prospective demand for it there, can any intelligent
man doubt that it would have been still higher !?
Yet at this price it can hardly be delivered in New
York, freight and charges paid, for less than $40
per ton, duty unpaid. Yet American iron masters,
learn, contracting to deliver railroad bars of
excellent quality at $40 per ton so that at this mo-
ment our heavy duty of $25 per ton on this iron
does not essentially, if at all, enhance its price to
the American consumer. And the iron business is
now receiving such rapid and general develop
ment among US that it is morally certain that the
price Of iron of all kinds will be gradually and sig
naly reduced, without the aid Of foreign competi-
ton, unless the demand for iron shall increase as
rapidly as the supply, which can hardly be posi-
ble Who doubt, then, that it is the true policy
of the country to maintain the duty on iron
