PENNSYLVANIA.

The Loco leaders are doing their best to swindle
the rank and file into continuance of their sup
port of the administration-n this way: they de-
nounce the British Tariff out and out-denounce
Dallas as trator-and 60 the whole for protec
ton; but then they resolve that protection always
was Democratic doctrine and they can and will
therefore continue 10 support The party Words,
words for protection, but voeS for the Polkites-
that is the game now, as in 1914. We shall not
be surprized if they succeed in quilting thousands
in this way, especially among the Germans who do
not understand the English language, and of course
cannot always readily detect the tricks of polit-
clans: however, SO much sound doctrine on the
subject of the Tariff must produce some GOOD
tcorks. We quote the following from resolutions
adopted by the Locofoco convention o. Dauphin
county:
Resolved, That under the Tariff of ~ the peo-
pie of this State were prosperous, and her resour-
cos were developed IN an extraordinary degree
labor was abundant and wages high, and no man
was idle who wished employment a few wears
more Of its continuance would have placed our
manufactures on a solid basis, and have made the
State prosperous beyond competition. 1t paid the
National debt, and filed the Treasury with funds.
"li'lS ~ uuel vi every quarter
Of the Union.
Resolped, That the repeal of the Tariff of ls42,
after it had, in the last Presidential election recey-
ed the sanction Of every portion Of the Democracy
after the party hau fought and triumphed under
its banners, is fraud upon the party and meets
our decided disapproval.
RESOLVED, That the Tariff of 1916 does not pro-
tect our labor-that it does encourage the pauper
labor of Europe-that if continued it will bring
down the price OF labor, and will not produce funds
enough to sustain the Government-that it Is an
experiment emanating from the Modification Of
South Carolina, winch is calculated to bring our
mechanics and workmen to the level Of the south
ern slaves, and 10 bring a system Of direct taxes
upon the Government of the Union.
Resolved, That the country cannot return TO its
prosperity until the British Tariff of 1916 is re-
pealed.
ReSOiued, That we approve of the conduct of our
Senators and Representatives in Congress who OPP
posed this obnoxious bill. They were faithful to
their trust, and the Democracy viii sustain them.
Resoived, That Vice President Dallas has for
teited the confidence of the Democracy of Penn
syyanla by giving his casting vote in favor of the
MKny bill. That hecontinues to insult his own
state by travelling abroad to receive honors frou,
the South an payment Of thatv vote

were only four hundred and fifty Mexican soldiers

some, and were committing repeated and grevous
depradatlons on the persons and property of trav-
elers. There were Immense numbers of the Gov
ernments baggage wagons lying in an exposed
situation, on the prairies, which could be easily
captured and all the supplies of our troops be cut
off by force of one hundred Mexlcans, if they
only knew the exposed and defenceless situation
of the provision trains.
The Indians were offering their services 10 the
Santa Fe Government to attack Gen. Kearney, and
to plumber and drive away all the American travel
ers, but the local Government declined accepting
their services.

THE "NORTHERN LIGHTs.n

Orleans, Essex and Cacdona-the three north
ern Counties of Vermont-the two latter long look
ed upon by the iocofocos the very Gibra!ters of
their party-have this year all elected Wing SEN
aors, and by 50 doing have shown their adherence
to the principles Of Liberty and their regard for
true national independence and the best interests
of the people. The Wigs Of these counties have
spoken TO Mr.. Polk and emphaticay told him to
stop, and cease all further prosecution of schemes
for securing slave territory, and for the oppression
of the treemen of the country. They have been
united in their protestaon against the course of
the Administration united we say--yes, except in
some few towns wings may have voted for the 81
party, and thus made distinction where there is
no difference in principle and which we trust they
will fully apprehend, and hereafter, shoulder to
shoulder with the Wings seek the furtherence of
liberty and good measures of government too.
Then northern Vermont will become free-and
send man to Congress who will speak and act
Tor liberty, and not like her present Representative,
become mere instrument in the haids of Polk to
register the edicts OF the Cotton Lords."- Gale

How careless the subject appears TO Dc
treated how lightly il is talked Of by young
men and women Of this day-and even how
thoughllessly they rush into its realities, as II
the future had no care. but as they live only
for the present. wildly and even madly men
retreat from the state Of singleness, to JOIN
themselves TO some worshipped idol Of their
hearts, alteration, still unconscious Of all that
moves and breathes about them. 1t can be
done in day--it can be done in an hour
but never to be sundered but by the cold and
icy hand Of death. The first thing always to
be considered should be domestic felicity
Where is the man that knows happiness in
the married state, that cannot really enjoy the
true pleasure of the domestic fre-side, where
he can retire from the busy scenes OF the
world, to be shut out from the din and hustle
of the busy and tumultuous city, with his lit
tie innocents to gather about him and with their
caresses, welcome him ence more TO his nap
py homestead; whilst his better halt, en-
ioying the love of Kim to whom she gave her
hand to be partner in either trouble or pros
perity has s'prepared the meal whereby they all.
amidst the innocent prattlings, may partake,
by the blessing Of Providence, OF what has been
bestowed upon them. This is surely happy
family.
But to reverse the picture.
Happiness exists not with the man who has
sought the fair hand OF blushing maiden and
has been sadly disappointed in the one Of his
choice; let us wander to that place-with its
iron railing encircling it about-let US make a
morning call; on entering, we find well fur
nished mansion, withits mirrors refecting i'm
ages from all sides, all that is needed has been
added to make the drawing rooms tasteful, but
no taste is there displayed; there is the wife
with morning gown thrown about her, re-
clining on the sofa, with one Of Bulwer's last
occupying her attention, with her hair dishev
eled she scarcely can observe the presence
visiter; and when recognised, begs to be ex-
cused, that she has been so interested with the
nouel, that she had quite forgotten her appear
ance, and with many vain excuses, so we leave
her. Can that husband experience true domes
tic felicity we presume not. Be careful, then
how you marry. Do not be too hasty, but Sc
lect one suitable to your condition.

CITY AFFAIRS.

Let us not be so absorbed in the dongs Of others,
to forget what is going on at home
TO The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald writes the following -
"Rev. H. Slicer, Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, preached for the Baltimore volun-
teers at the marine barracks today and he
exhorted them like one Of the patriarchs Of
the Revolution. He exhorted them to fight,
and TO fight like men, and TO beware, above
all things, Of being shot in the back. He said
it was leading principle Of Christianity to be
ready to stand up, life or death, for our coun-
try. He had been himself soldier, and,
though past the vigor Of youth, he felt strong
desire to be one again. The man who would
not fight for his country was hardly to be
trusted in the chances OF saving his own soul
In brief, the q boys' said he spoke like q
book"
We have to say that the writer has taken a
true view Of the character Of Mr.. SLIcER fol
he is an able MANA christian and patriot,
who no doubt believes that man can serve
his country and his God ; and we fully agree
with him.-Baltimore Argus
