SALE OF THE PUBLIC WORKS.

SALE OF The PUBLIC WORKS.
1t is very probable that the project of sell
ing our Stale Improvements will come up
his winter in the Legislature, and it is
therefore, in our Judgment important that
he attention of The people should be direct,
I'd 10 the subject in time. We know al.
ready enough of the character Of the nexl
Legislature TO feel agPrehen8iVe Of its ac-
ion in relation to this queSIion--and we
Know what tremendous outdoor Influence,
nay naturally be expected to array itself in
avoG of the Sale. Let us be fore warned
md forearmed for the encounter with Fed
4raIsm, and Capila--lor The easy virtue Of
he one and the intense sefishnass Of the
,Iher will naturally place Them in opposi>
ion to the interests Of the people.
Two years ago, majority of the voters
# Pennsy lvania gave their sullrages in ia
Vor of a sale of the main line; and this fact
will be strongly urged in favor Of the pro-
jeci at the coming session. But, We re-
gard that vote to be of very lille weight in
he argument. The subject was not then
very generally discussed, and consequently
vas but imperiecIIy understood. The pub
Ic attention was taken up with the Presi
Dental and Guberna'oTaI elections and me

PANIC MAKING.

The ruthless course pursued by the pres
ent dynasty has from the commencement
been alarming to every intelligent aud patri-
otic citizen. No sooner had the danger of war
with England subsidized, than the nation sud
denly finds itselfinvolved in war with Mex
leo. Then comes appropriations to the a.
mount of MILLIONS 10 pay the enormous
expenditures. This is Immediately followed
by REPEAL OF THE TARIFF of 1912,
from which nothing can be anticipated but
impoverishment and bankruptcy, the ruin of
the industrial interests Of the nation, and the
withdrawal of MILLIONS OF SPECIE to
meet the balance oftrade against us arising
from increased importatons of foreign fab
RIGS. At last comes the SUBTREASURY!
admirably calculated to embarrass the mon
led institutions ofthc country, and crush bust
ness in all its various departments.
Startled thus with 4 policy which so sorcly
conflicts with their Frightening hopes ofpros-
perity i'll the present palmy state Of affairs,
the people protest. They send their iud;g-
nant remonstramces to Congress. They are
sneeringly told that THE LABOR OF THE
NORTH is BUT A SMALL NATTER
They arc charged with IN attempt to get up
a PANIC. The orgaus and minions of the
part instantly ring PANIC PANIC! from one
end of the country to the other, thus attempt
ing to smother the just complaints oGthe peo
pie against their destructive measures. And
has il come to this, that IA clique of political
loaiors who for the sake office would strike
down millions in the nation who get their
living by honest industry, can lull the people
into the belief that they are aboring under
imaginary evils, by the cuckoo cry ofPANlC!
constantly ringing in their ears? Ifso, it is
certainly time TO despair of the republic. 1t
is but too true that for years past the people
have been made 20 suffer patiently the most
CALLING outrages when inflicted in the name
of DEMOCRACY. But the recent example of
Pennsylvania shows that there is n point of
duplcty which cannot be passed with safety.
While snurting under the repeal ofthe Tar
if of 1912, under which thousands OF our la
boring class throughout the Union have been
already reduced in their wages or wholly
thrown out Unemployment, every doubt has
been swallowed up in reality. The cold chill
of death to her great industrial interests can
no longer be concealed. The sentiment of
Treachery in her leaders is deep and univer-
sal. The man whose vote has crushed her
energies, and blasted the business hopes of
her people, has been hung in effigy by his own
party. And in spite of the painted dema-
gogues protesting to he democrats, who are
crying out PANIC! PANIC! and insisting that
the people should submit, like gally slaves, to
their task masters, REPEAL, of the odous
BRITISH and SLANEOCRATIC TARIFF
OF 1876! is rung in thunder tones through
out the key stone State. Let the cry go round.
Let it be heard loud and long throughout the
vallies and mountain tops of Vermont, until
the political embrics who now control the
destinies of this nation shall be shook from
the seats power which they shalnefuly
pollute.

The Light Breaks Forth.

The Locos held a District Convention for
the Sd Congressional District at Burlington
on Tuesday of last week Mr. Hubbell of Fair
fax was put in nomination for Congress. A
Committee was sent out to draft resolutions,
81 after much labor, came in and reported like
the Committee at the State Convention, that
they had no Resolutions to Report. The rea-
sons being called for one ofthe Committee got
up and said they were divided upon Polk S
Tariff, some were for it and some against it!
A discussion arose, and much feeling was cx-
cited, and after great efforts, POLK'S OFF,
GERS could not cram his Tariff down the
throats of the party! and the Convention broke
up little roa1y
Here we have it, Folks Post Masters, Gus
tom House Officers, &c, tried to make the
Protective Tariff men of the party swallow the
Free Trade Tariff, and they could not come it!
The Kane Letter has lost its potency with the
honest members of the party, though the pa
pers under the control of these officers make
unwonted efforts to prove the Tariff to be bet
ter than the Wing Tariff? There is hope for
the country, and let all who have been cheat
ed come out in like manner and speak and
vote their minds.

succor To Great Britain.

The British papers by the Caledonia abound
with CALCULATIONS at the Repeal of the Ameri-
can Tariff, and the business articles of these
papers say that trade has revived in London
and Liverpool in consequence of this opening
of the market in the U. S. for their goods
Well they may rejoice.
The lowest estimate of Secretary Walker is,
that only FIFTEEN MILLIONS of dollars
worth more of foreign products will be import
ed yearly into our country by reason of the re-
peal of the Wing Tariff, while others say the
amount of increase will be THIRTY FIVE
MILLIONS!
Admit then that the amount will be
TWENTY-FIVE MILLIONS, what is the
result? 1t will but take SO much work from
America and transfer it to foreign countries
give it to foreign laborers instead of Ameri-
can--and consume say, TWELVE MILL
IONS ofthe products of foreign Agriculture
instead of so much of the products of Ameri-
can farmers
Who is there that is not British all over who
will vote for such things? Will any Ameri-
lean? The ballot box will answer!

JOHN p. HALE in MAINE.

Mr. Hale has been invited into Maine by
independent Democrats in several towns and
he addressed the psaple at Bangor on
Wednesday oflast week. A Bangor paper
says:
"The address was one of great force and
power-a compact and unanswerablo argu-
ment, showing that tho Government of The
United States III the policy it has adopted in
the annexation OfTeXas, stands pledged be-
fore heaven and earth to the extension and
perpetuity ofslavery; and that every man who
sustains tho government in this policy, hapti-
cs his soul in the guilt"

strike down American farmers, mechanics,

to destroy American competition, and thereby
establish n foreign monopoly in the American

At Their old Games Again.

The Patriot leads off and the Star files into
the lead, and pretend to give sort of author
lied expose of Mr. Pecl's opinions on the Tar
if, but say nothing of his views of the Polk
Tariff, whether he is for and against it toe, like
the consistent gentleman into whose footsteps
he seeks to follow.
This reminds us of two years ago, when
Paul Dillingham; sought reelection to Con-
gress. These papers called upon the people
of the 18th District to come forward and vote
for MIR d he was in favor of protection, and
opposed to the annexation of Texas. In the
meantime Mr. d. Kept darh himself, as Mfr
Peck does, and when called upon, us he was
repeatedly for his opinions, not word could
be got fromihim, he was MUM! Well,the people
swallowed the assurances put forth by these
prints, and even Sd party men came into the
game, and Mr. d. was elected!
Now for the result. Paul Dillingham; went
directly for the opposite of these paper assur-
ances:he voted for anne xation, and after dodg-
ing the question once voted for the Polk bill
which discriminates against projections 81 in ia
vor ofioreigners in many instances And these
same papers come out again with similar as
surances for Mr. Peck!-a second time they
seek to gull people in the same manner!-
Who'll be bitten second time? If Mr. Peck
has opinions respecting which there is doubt
why does he not come out in some proper way,
&. not, like his predecessor, when called upon,
play the mum game.
Mr. Dillingham; represented the party which
elected him, and Mr. Peck is the candidate of
the same party, and of course if elected will
represent it, and Mr. d. voted the party
votes and Mr. Peck would do the same, no
doubt. No one presumes he will leave his
party and turn Wing, though these papers
seem disposed to make out his principles

s TOP THAT

A writer in the Star reiterates the slnndcr
thrown out by the Freeman few weeks
since--to the effect that the Wings of this
County declined nominating Mr. Sias for SEN
ator because he had seen fit to join the Sd par
ty. We should not choose to say any thing
about the matter, for all who attended the
Convention were satisfied respecting it, and
should not but for the circumstance that the
supporters ofPolk and all his schemes to cx-
tend slavery are vllainously misrcpresenting
the facts in the case, and by so doing, placing
Mr. Sias in a position which we are satisfied he
never intended TO put himself-that is, up
on two stools, hoping thereby to get an cleo
ton beyond all contingency. Now, for the
facts 1t was well understood by all who took
the pains to know about it, Mr. Sias had plainly
given all parties to understand previously to
any of the conventions this year, that he did
not wish Co be Il candidate for the Senate, as
signing the reason that his business would not
| allow ofhis attending to the duties of Sena-
tor without too great sacrifice, and this po-
stion confirmed by his peremptory decli-
nation of the Sd party nomination, &, to which
he finally yielded on the ground, as all who
knew his position believed, that there was no
prospect of his election. We also know the
fact that he reluctantly consented to be
a candidate last year, and did so only upon the
suppositon that his election was improbable
And those Wings who attended the Conven-
ton, by inquiries of those who knew Mr. S. s
feelings, were fully satisfied that he did not ex-
pcct or want to be nominated by the Wings.
and being satisfied set about finding another
candidate, and did find one, an intelligent
Wing and as good an anti-slavery man rs Mr.
Sins.
Mr. Sias having publicly and purposely, as
none could avoid the inference, declined, in
effect, and so far as man could do so before
a nomination, he could not have looked upon a
nomination by the wings as much less than an
imposition, or as declaration that they did
not believe him sincere in his Professions
The writer in the Star knows this very well,
but thinks by this species of demagogueism to
stand a better chance to still feed upon the
public as he has for many years past
