THE Wharf.-The WINGS AND THE
POLKITES

THE Wharf.-The WINGS AND THE
POLK.ITES.
A Baltimore correspondent of the Bos-
ton Atlas, writes under date of November
18th that there is great sho'o of determi-
nation in the War and Navy offices in
Washington. Mr.. Marcy gives out that
the war is now going to be carried on with
vigor; that he is going to have great big
army there, who will invest all the cities on
the Gulf; and the navy are to take the
castle at Vera Cruz, and blop it up, so as
10 prevent its being manned again, should
we be obliged TO evacuate the city next
summsr, when the yellow fever comes;
and then the army is really going to the
City Of Mexico, to rcvel in the halls of the
Montexumas. All that has been done by
Gen. Taylor. and all that Mr.. Polk and
his official advisers intend 10 do, will be set
forth at length in the Presidents Message
on the meeting of Congress, on the 7lh
inst; and then a call will be made for
forty thousand men and forty millions q
dollars. These men and this money will
be required, so it is given out by the
mouth-piec of the Cabinet at ashington,
in order to bring the War to close, and
maintain the honor ard dignity of the ma
ton!
The object of this is seen through al
once. This extraordinary call is made in
the hope and the expectation that the
Wings will unite against it as party, and,
with sufficien, number of Locos, be strong
enough to vote it down. This done, the
Wings are to be denounced everywhere, as
refusing money and supplies for the army,
whilst in the field, and of indirectly aiding
the Mexicans, by refusing TO increase our
military force. This was the game last
spring; but the Wings were not simple
enough to be caught by it. The whole re-
sponsibility of this war is Mr.. Folks and
the party that support him. The Wings
have nothing to do with it, except to aid in
getting US out, by wisdom in the council
and by valor in the field The effec, of
this course is seen in the result of the re-
cent elections, where no question was al
lowed to come up as TO the patriotism of
one party or the other--as the Locos an
tended by their course on the Mexican
business, there should come up-so that the
responsibility Of Mr.. Polk might be kept
in the back ground, and the evils of his
whole course of administration lost sight
of. Mr. Polk and his advisers intended
that the elections this fall should have been
made 10 turn upon the course of the Wings
on the Mexican War, and they expected
they would be able to drive them into
such an opposition to it, as would allow the
Loco Foco orators to cry out against them
for Withholding supplies.
Mr.. Polk and his advisers will have to
stand up to the position they have placed
themselves in, or back-out. The Wings
know their duty, and there is enough of
them in Congress to see that no "stones
shall be laid before their doors"
Potato Planting.-A letter from very
intelligent farmer in Vermont, addressed
10 the Farmers Club of New York, states
that a greatly increased yield of potatoes
can be secured by planting only the larger
or more prominent eyes of the potato.

TIE TARIFE OF 1916.

The new Tariff went into opcrat ion on
the frs, instant. 1t created quite hustle
about the custom house in New York. 1t
seems to be generally expected that Con.
gress will alter the new Tariff at the pres
ent session. The recent elections have
shaken the faith of its friends, and we ex-
pect to see its fathers shifting their sails
The Philadelphia United States Gazette
thus speaks of the old and new Tariff:
1.-THE Tariff OF 1912, under which the country
has signally prospered, went out Of existence
yesterday We cannot welcome the incomer,
for we feel that the strong defence Of our atizan
and manufacturers has been broken down by thu
descendence OF the Wing measure. We can look
back upon the results it has produced, and il
the teeming industry OF the country find tn
strong proofs OF its benefcent and salutary oper
| atoms.
The new conner visits us amid the undisguiset
fears OF an immense portion Of our people. !
is the means 10 break down the barriers, b.
which the too powerful influx Of foreign product
has been prevented, and scope allowed for on
own manufactures to flourish. 1t will plac
foreign rivals in our markets to compete unde
advantageous circumstances with those who hav
q natural right TO consideration and pre- eminenc
in the demands for supplies.
We must endure what it inficts, and "bide on
time" for better measures 10 be brought into or
Grafton"

INTEREsT.-There are several PROPOSE
tons before the Legislature 10 reduce the
legal rate Of interest in this State. Ii
seems to be generally conceded that the
rate of interest is too high-but the diff
Guilty is to agree upon the reduction; some
are for making it eight and some six per
cent. We hope a reduction will be made.
The present rate is too high, and operates
seriously to the injury Of the country. So
long as money is the best capital, instead Of
improving the country, by investing it in
agricultural pursuits, rearing manufactures
and developing the resources of the State,
establishing roads, &c, Sc, all such things
will be kept in the background, and capt.
talists will continue to loan their money
Reduce the rate Of interest, and those ha.
wing money will seek an investment in
improvements Of some kind or other
which will yield them good per cent, and
at the same time benefit the country al
large. This is apparent to every one, and
the only wonder is that the rate has no
been reduced long ago. We have heard i
minated that there are too many shauer
in the Legislature TO pass such measure
Let it be fairly brought before them, ant
we imagine there will be but few of then
found willing to risk their political neck
by opposinp il.

ample quoted, or our kindred acknowledged, there
ie' universal freedom and equal laws be proclaimed
10 man.
Against all these reckless and perilous proceed
ings Of the wings and of their journals, we quote
again, with pride and pleasure, the following resou-
ton adopted by the democTGte State convention Of
Massachusetts
"Resolred, That we hold TO the integrity Of the
Union established by The constitution, and there
fore deprecale as disuniOn in us worst FORM the
attempts Of any party or class Of men 10 slgmalize
and denOunce portion ofthe Union for It's domes-
TIC institutions, with which the constitution does not
interfere, and Of the pr0prety Of which each State a.
It's own independent Judge"
1t shows that there, os elsewhere, the democratic
party is saunch and sound in lis determination to
stand by the compacts aud compromises Of the con-
sttution. Without these compromises and coHl-
pacts the constitution could not have been adopted.
II these are violated, the whig abotonists are
rallying 10 violate them, the constitution cannot
stand. To the - clear sweep" which would dash
them away, the democratic party Gas the whigs
themselves tell us) is the "onIy obst Gle" Ia
further testimony Of the position upon this SUD
jet Of the democratic party of the nation, we
suhjoin the following resolution adopted in 1874
by the Democrat, party in convention at Baltimore,
and upon which, part Of its platform of political
action, that party went into the presidential canvass
"That Congress hRs no power, under the c0nsti.
tuition, TO interfere with or control the domestic in-
sut ons Of the several States; end that such States
are the sole and proper judges Of everything apper-
tanning to their own sfiairs, not prohibited by the
constitution; that all efforts of the abolitioniss or
others, made 10 induce Congress 10 interfere pih 9uts
lions qsiapay or take nepsnt steps in relation hsrs
10 calculated to lead to the most alarming ard
dangerous consequences, and that all such efforts have
an inevitable tendency TO diminish the happiness Of
the people and endangsr the stability and psrDldnency
ofhe Union, aud ought not 10 BE- eOnttnancsd by any
friend 10 our political Institutions "
In the face of such evidence as this it is idle for
the lntelIigencer to charge the democratic party
with an aboonIst tendency 1t is at once ludr-
and amenable to see that Journal laboring to
sustain its charge by asserting that the democratic
party is the party Of Gnii-rsntim And now we re-
mind the lntelligeacer that we have already quoted
its own language at least of partial il not of entire
endorsement and approval Of the resolutions adopt
ed by the wing State convention OF Massachusetts
We think we can hardly have misunderstood the In
eligencer in believing that it intended so to endorse
and approve them. Now, however, we trust that
the lntelligencer will show ts hand upon the Sub
jet. l, cannot well keep dark upon SO grave
question. We ask, therefore, OF that journal
does it fully approve the resolutions, one and all
adopted by the whigs OF Massachusetts Shall we
