More Free Trade.

We had occasion few weeks since 10 CON-
pliment our neighbor of The Monroe Press on
his candour in respect 10 the Tariff. He had
openly avowed himself in favor of a revenue
tariff in opposition to " protective tariff" and
we look the liberty of saying, in substance, that
if all his loco foco contemporaries would be half
as honest, the Tariff question would soon be
settled in Pennsylvania.
Our compliment, however, does not appear
10 have been relished by the editor of the
Press, he having received it any thing but
gracously. Why this should be, we are at
loss 10 determine, unless il is 10 do away with
the force of his previous remarks,-a We, we
can hardly suppose this, as he again distinctly
avows himself in favor of mere revenue" Ia
riff, and that he would rather have direct tar
laid by the General Government, than tolerate
a tariff for the sake Of protection
His remarks are altogether inexplicable, un-
less we put this plain construction upon them,
viz: The editor of the Press" like all other
loco foco editors, is at heart opposed to prolec-
tion, and takes every opportunity TO make
deadly thrust at the principle Still he is aware
that the people are Of different way of think
ing, and that it requires no lille Management,
10 hoedwnk and endeavour 10 keep them in ig-
norance. Hence, whilst he is continually pub
fishing articles against protection, and labour-
ing 10 o5literate every feature of it from our
revenue laws, he is also in The habit of repre-
senling that the Wings are opposed to Prorec-
lion, and are gully of double dealing on the
subject. To strengthen his articles, moreover
he condescends TO garlic extracts from the
speeches and writings of eminent Wings, which
when taken out of their proper connexion seem
10 favour his position. But his device is TOO
shallow 10 escape the penetration of the wise
and consideraie, and he will receive for his
pains, what he deserves, their pity and con-
tempt for this arlifce
The question may be easily and truly solved
in this simple way. The professions of the
Whig and The Loco Foco parties are directly
dhe opposite of each other on this important
question. Ifthen, the Monroe Press represe en,s
the professions of its party truly, (and who will
dare to say that ii does not y the Loco Focos
hate Protection so much that they would rather
nave direct tax laid for the support of The
Federal Government, than tolerate il. The
very words of the Press, therefore prove tha,
ais party is opposed TO The principle of Protec-
iion, and as matter Of course the M hes must
De IN favor of it. This is plain and ncontro-
verIable reasoning. which no one can gainsay.

this, even although he repeats what he has be.

"EnfamOus Outrage and Ruffiam
AtrOcity.''


Such is the fit title of full account in the
Albany Argus U.ocofoco) Of Wednesday last,
of the fierce and bloody fight between the Hun
kers and Barnburners at the Locoloco County
Meeting of the day previous. The Argus al
leges that an armed company of the Barnburn-
ers got early possession Of The Cour, House, de-
termned TO maintain it with force. We copy
part of the account of this most disgracelul
mob BED Ap.
Mr.. Jas. R. Rose, who was peaceabIy look.
ing on, was struck and knocked down, by Ed
ward Brinckerhoff a member of the so-called
general committee" The majority proposed
to take another room, and organize peaceful
democratic convention.
Meanwhile the delegates from the country
and city who were justly entitled TO seats in the
convention, 10 the number Of 4S Qhe whole
number is 70,) assembled in an upper room in
another part of Mr.. Clark's tavern. They had
in no manner, not in the slighles! degree, pro-
voked assault. They had only temporarily or
ganized by the appointment of A. c. Disbrow,
of Westerlo, Chairman, when gang Of ruffians,
fresh from their employers, rushed into the
room, armed with clubs and knves--breakin
The door from lis hinges.
The assault, although apparently indiscrim-
inale, seemed TO be aimed particularly at the
country delegates, many of whom were seated
Grey haired men were knocked dovn Nth clubs,
and with broken pieces Of furniture. 0he chairs,
tables, stove-ppe, &C., were smashed by the
assaiants,) and others were kicked and stamped
upon, and others were struck and wounded IN
the head aud face, and cut by a small spring blade
attached to a ring on the Jfnger,-and the ruff
ans were armed in other respects, sheath
dagger and pistol having been picked up after
the afiray. Of course every mans life was in The
hands Of these brutal and unprovohed assailanls,
there being no egress from The room excep,
through The door, which portion Of them sur
rounded. Lawrence Van Dusen, an esteemed
Democrat of Bern, a conceded delegate, elected
by he unanimous vote OF the town, tras knocked
dOWn and stamped upon, and three of hiS teeth
knocked out. 1t was reported last night that he
died OF his wounds
Mr. Hungerford, also of Bern. was scarcely
less brualIy beaten. Alfred Phelps, d. B
Jeweti, and G. Van O'Linda, of Wa,erviet,
Lewis VI Dayton Of RensselaerviIle, Peter A.
Vau Vie, of New Scotland, Col Verpanck of
Coeyman's, and Albert Gallup, of Albany, were
all more or less hurt, Messrs Phelps, Van VIE,
and Gallup, severely. These are respectable
and much esteemed citizens of their respective
towns, and most of them substantial and peace
able farmers"
The Argus adds .ba, "among The official per-
s0Rs IN attendance, not one of whom attempted
IN any manner to restrain these Outrages," were
the Attorney General, District Attorney, Canal
Collector, Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas, &c. &c. Democracy and Mobocracy
are fast becoming SYNONYMOUS terms, and il is
no longer matter Of doub, whittier 'progres.
