Great News for the Farmer.

<.lfw we were Mt all inclined to indulge in
an expression of malicious Joy, we should
congratulate our good friend ofthe United
States Gazette, upon the very decisive char
acter ofthe foreign news, by the Hihernia, in
regard to the advance upon the prices, and
The largely increased demand for all the pro-
ducts ofthe soil, in the British market" Up
on this the Gazette comments rs follows:
So says the Pennsylvania and proceeds to
intimate that the rise in the price of Ameri-
can produce in foreign markets, is consequent
upon the policy of the present administra-
ton.
We are no friends of Mr. Polk-indeed, we
know of scarcely one that is; we are no apo-
ogists for his weakness and his errors, hut we
do not allow our dislike to proceed to the eX-
stent which it would seem our neighbor al
tlows his to go. But then, his may be the
bitterness of disappointed love; the feud that
springs up between former friends; the talni-
ly quarrel, alwaysi bitter, always impIacable;
"Earth hath no pang like love turned TO an
ger"
Nothing else but such curding ofthe milk
of former friendship, could have induced our
neighbor to write such an article.
We feel, and all feel, that the weakness of
Mr. Polk has brought the nation into war
with Mexico; that his weakness began that
without due preparation, and neglected 10
use the means for its prosecution which Con-
gress supplied. We feel that at this time,
when public confidence should be solid, and
public faith fixed, the nation is discredited a.
mong her domestic creditors and that her
paper is quoted lower than that of many pri-
waite individuals. We know that his want of
capacity has destroyed his majority in Con-
gress, and left him the object of daily rebuke
and pity. These are the common results of
weakness and incapacity in a ruler. But
never before have we heard it minated, by
the worst enemies ofMr Polk, the worst of
those that were never his friends, that i'm ad-
dition to the evils inflicted at home, his ma
lignant powers had brought famine upon Ire
land, and blighted the harvest of Great Brit
ain. We never before heard it intimated,
that his pestiferous breath had been blown o.
YER the plains of Croatia, and the borders of
the Black Sea, and the regions about, ard
burned up the produce of those sections that
had been deemed "the exhaustless granaries
of the world" Why, Pharaoh's misconduct
afflicted only Egypt, and the people of Israel
alone were punished for the msdeeds of Da-
vid;but our neighbor intimares that the starry
ing ofIreland, and the half furnished opera
tors of England, owe their misery to the evil
influences of the Executive of this country.
IF our neighbor really thinks that MIR Polk Is
such "Bohon Upas" as that we respectfully
suggest whether it is best to proclaim Il so o.
penly; whether it would not do better to imi=
tate the "cunning" ofthe President himself,
and let the people abroad impute to other eau
ses their sufferiDgs. And let the farmers of

AID FOR THE SUFFERING. A meet
ing was holden at Montpelier on the 9th to
take into consideration and raise funds in aid
of the starving Irish, A Committee hns been
appointed for each district to solicit coDtribu-
tons, A fund has already been raised at Bur
ling ton and forwarded.
BY the way, movement has been started
in this place for the same purpose embracing
also the suffering people ofScotnnd, Those
contributing are desired to specify where they
will have their donations sent--to Ireland or
Scotland. JosErH p. FAIRBANKS, Esq, and
DIR. JESSE p. BANcRoTT, constitute the Com
mittcc here to forward all donations left with
them, They win forward them to Boston from
whence they will be shipped at the expense
of the British Government.
The descendants of cold Caledonia" are
numerous in this County, and they are gener-
ally in aflluent circumstances. II cannot
be doubted but they will open their hands lib
orally in behalf oftheir suffering brethren in
Scotland.

PLAN FOR CLOSING THE WAR. A corres-
pendent ofthe Atlas suggests a now plan for
closing the war. 1t is, to let Polk fight it out
single handed with Santa An ma. If left on
this ground the war would soon end no doubt,
for n man that skulked draft, as it is said
Polk did some years ago, would find some way
to bring about an honorable peace before he
would fight The rnen that make wars do
not intend to fight themsel ves-it is the 'sbone
and muscle" the "hnge paws" as they term
them-the working men-who are to expose
their skulls and limbs and bodies, and do the
fighting, and the makers claim the glory of
victory, and bestow upon the poor soldiers tie
shame of defeat when defeat comes.
The following is the plan:
''The present war with exico is Mr. Polk s
war. He made it and ought to end it. More
than any other man, he has given "aid and
comfort" to the Mexicans, by sending them a
General to head their armies. 1t is but fair
that Mr. Polk should finish what he has be gun
The Philistine of Gath, Goliah, proposed to
save bloodshed and end the conflict of old, BY
n battle between two champions. So let the
President do. Let the "Commander-in-
Chief" be sent to the Army; and on the bat
tie field, let James X. Polk and Santa Anna
eight it out" So the war will close. H."

uJ'It is well settled by the return of the
votes on the License Question that the sovc.
reign people have declared against Licenses
for the sale ofspirit within the State to be used
u beverage. The law provides, however
that the County Court shall license the sale in
the towns for necessary uses-by such persons
as may be appreciated by the Civil Authorities
and such only. This gives the regulation
of the sale into the hands of the towns and
they may appreciate persons upon conditions
that will insure the people against unreasona-
bic prices upon spirit purchased for necessary
purposes. Should the conditions named in
the appreciation be violated the power is re-
served to the Court to nullify licenses.
This matter should be attended to, for the
sale, if restricted, will add Inducements that
always exist under licenses, to the limited
numbers that will be engaged in it, to ask I'M
reasonable profits-which should be guarded a.
gainst
A resolution was passed in town meeting in
this town, nstructing the Civil Authority, in
case the State voted No License, to enter into
contracts with persons appreciated by which
such persons should forfeit certain penalties in
they took profit on the cost of the spirit
exceeding % per cent.-a profit much less
probably, than sellers usually realize. The
interest ofall concerned evidently requires
that there should be no monopoly allowed
