WORKING MEN, REMEMBER
That Mr.. McDutfe, in replying to Mr.. Webster,
made use of this extraordinary language: UdS
represented that The LABOR of The country would
be affected by this blll-TIIA'r (sail Mr.. Nc
Dufie, contemptuously,) is BUT A SMALL
MATTER!!" Remember these things.-.4Aas.
THE TARIFF-NEw JERsEY.-The excitement
is nearly as general among the Jersey Blues in re-
lation TO the British Tariff La,0, as it is in
humbugged Pennsylvania; and premontory
symptom" it may as well be mentioned that IN a
conversation with some gentlemen at Trenton, last
week, late distinguished U. S. Senator from that
State, Of the dominant party, remarked that the
title of the new act should be changed so as to
read, "to make Wing President in lSlS"-.NeU
York Tribune.
1t is really funny to read the commentaries of the
locotoco press, her0abouts, on the subject Of pro-
tecting tUOol. When the duties wooens so
reduced that imported goods can be afforded cheap
er than domestic cloths, what consolation is there
in a duty OH wool? To whom shall the farmer sell
it?-Mercury.
The Manchester American proposes, in case OF
the repeal of the Tariff, that there be general
Tariff Convention for New England, held at Low
ell or Manchester, early in September for devsing
measures to protect the interests of the free States
Go ahead ID
A correspondent Of the Commercial Advertiser
gives the following Illustration:
"To show of the beauties Of the ad valorem
system of duties, will mention that gentleman
lately gave me the following story lie had sent to
purchase quantity of furniture in Paris. When
the furniture arrived he received letter from the
manufacturer, in which that parsonage informs him
that, according to usage, he sends two Invoices,
one for the use of the importing agent in entering
the goods at the custom-house, and the other the
bill upon which he, the purchaser, was to account
with him, the foreign exporter. The fact is, that
specific duties upon large class of imported arti-
cles the only guards against constant aud ha-
bitual ir~uds upon the revenue, and upon the home
producer Of similar articles"
FoREIGN INVOICES Dejfduding The Repenue-
In the Senate, on Saturday. Mr.. Webster said il
was a very common thing for manufacturers abroad
TO send goods here with two invoces-one TO enter
by, and the other to sell by In recent instance
the invoice to enter by amounted to only $4,000
while that to sell by amounted to $4,000.
THUNDER Storm There was a most violent
thunder storm at Peterboro N. H., last week OF
Thursday, which struck house. and, what was
most remarkable, entirely killed at least an o
potatoes.
Hog, or dog THAT'S the question:" as Saw

TIE REWARD OF THE TRAITOR.
An eiigy of Vice President Dallas was suspend
ed from our market-house, this morning, with tn
following inscriptions -
1.-THE POLITICAL DEATH OF GEORGE NJ
DALLAS !"
"LET TRAITORS BEWARE OF THE
DEATH OF A TRAITOR"
"Peace TO his ashes !"
Verify, the Traitor is receiving his reward Bu
there are other betrayers, who equally merit tn
contempt and Indignation OF the people. The pro
per place, however, to visit it upon them, will b
The ballot-box.-H Harrisburg hieAigenccr.
The Hartford Times, (Locofoco,) in noticing tn
late reduction of wages by the Thompsonvill
Manufacturing Co., account Of the repeal of tn
Tariff Act Of 1912, asks, with an air Of trump
and doubt, if that company were known to increa
the wages of their workmen, when that law wa
passed. The Courant replies, and TO the point, b
saving that they have made inquiries into the sui
iect and find that the Company in question did il
crease the pay of their workmen, after the Tar
of l842 went into operation, to the extent Of tn
present reduction. Such indeed was the genera
effect of that law upon the wages of those en-
ployed in manufacturing, throughout the counlr
and Locolocoisn finds itself at fault in endeavorin
TO make it appear otherwise. Soon, already,
fact, they can see the effect Of the destruction
this benlfcent measure it will bring down III
price of labor, by substituting tho manufactures
foreigners for those OF our own people.-.WaS.
