LOCOFOCOISM & WOOL.

The Locofoco prints in this State, are keep
ing up continual fire upon the low price OF
wool; and are endeavoring to pursuade the
Wing farmers TO vote for the Locoioco can
Gidaies-and promise them if they Will do
so, TO raise the duty on wool so as TO shut out
all foreign wool entirely. Now, this Is all
fudge This promise they know they can
never fulfill nor they never calculate TO.
This promise reminds us of one made by
Satan TO our Lord on q certain occasion, that
if he would fall down and worship him, he
would give him all the Kingdoms OF The earth,
when he had nothing 10 give IL is SO WIN
the Locofocoism of Vermont. II you VIII bnt
fall down. and worship the CALF al wash
ington. they will give you better, Il more
/ equal tariff. when, in fact, they know thcy
/ have no Influence whatever, on The Fresl-
| dent or the 'chivalry' of the Southland
that what they promise, will not come.
| How are they going 10 work 10 increase the
duty on WOOL when their President has OPEN
" auowed his hosiIlity 10 the protective poll
CIV. and who has declared in public debates,
& on the floor of Congress that SI5%'WOOL
OUGHT TO BE DUTY FREE I? And
the Locoloco party have until very recently,
said amen. But now, Just on the eve ofelcc-
ton they are found riding the wool hobby,
in the hope Of influencing wool growers 10
90 with ihem-AlI they want is your votes,
gentlemen Let the farmers be careful how
they listen TO these unprincipled demagogues.
II they are your friends, as they profess, LEI
them, in the person of their representative,
Paul Dillingham;, 90 for higher tariff on
wool at The next session ofCongress. We
surely should have no objection but we
think we shall never see it accomplished at
their hands. We say 10 you now, as we
have often said before, that it is our candid
opinion that the present tariff will be done
with next winter; ard instead of HIGHER
tariff on wool you will have NONE. You
have Mr.. Folks words on the subject, aud
can you hope for anything better from him !
He is dead TO northern interests, 10 the
wool-grower in particular,-both Houses are
strongly Locofoco, and can there be any
possible hope for better tariff than we
have got now, for at leasl years to come.
We can see none. On the contrary, we see
great cause TO fear and tremble for the
safety of the one VIC have.
1t is nothing for Il locoloco TO profess to be
friendly or opposed TO a certain measure.
Before Folks election, they were opposed to
the annexation of Texas, at least they pro
!csscd to be. What are thew now Annex |
arionists to the back bone. Why, you can't
find one of The critters who will say he is OPP
posed to the scheme. They believe that
" hat Polk, Calhoun & Co. say or do is per-
fectly right, and Vermont Locofocos are con-
tent to do the drudgery of Southern nabobs,
if they will only let them remain in the party,
and get an occasional squint at the treasury
pap. We mean the pure, uitddutterdted por-
lion of the party
The word has already gone forth from the
party that now is the lime 10 defeat the
Wing party in this State-that the bands
which have so long bound them together, in
one brotherhood, are about TO be broken
already is it again predicted that our noble
Wing flag, upon which our principles for
years have been inscribed in letters of living
light and under whose broad folds We have
so often fought and always conquered, is to
be trodden under foot TO give place 10 the
black flag of Locofocoism-the Free Trade,
Texas Banner of the ave-loring anl Lib
originating party of the Scuih.
These threats ought to arouse thew hies If
Vermont from the aparihy into which they
have fallen, and stir them to immediate action
aud duty. The time is short and what is
done must be done soOn.-Stdte Banner.
