What Constitutes a Tory?

The Wings, (says the Holmes Co.
Farmer,) are furious at the idea of being
charged with sending "aid and comfort" to
the Mexicans, by the President and cry out
in favor ofthe largest liberty ofspeech, &c.
In order to refreshen the memory Of the
people as to what constitutes Tory, we
will give the substance Of the testimony
against one who was convicted and hung in
Albany, during the Revolution: ~.
"It was proved that the said Andrew
Patchen damned the Congress for declaring
war, and used towards them very abusive
language; and if those present should agree
with him he would resist and oppose Con.
gress, and all military officers and others
holding commissions under Congress. He
persuaded all present to go to no more
trainings, saying that he nor any of his fam.
lily should do SO; closing by the remark
that all who did not agree with him were
worse than infidels."
Such was the language that hung Tory
in the Revolution. AT this day our tories
are little more cnutious--a little more
careful oftheir necks. They do not open.
ly resist Congress-but denounce the war
as ''unrighteous and damnable," and curse
the President as its author. They discour.
age men from volunteering and wish all
who do volunteer may get killed. They
oppose raising money and men, and say
that Mexico is right and our country wrong
and that Polk mede the war. But they
are q little more bold in Massachusetts than
in Ohio. Mr.. Keys whig member from
Dedham said she would cut off his right
hand before he would hold it up in favor oil
any aid whatever to this infamous war with
Mexico +" That fellow is second edition
of our DR.. Shaffer. Mr.. Bird whig
member from Walpole said, ":he would tell
the drivers Of this internal Mexican war,
that they were to expect no aid from Massa.
chusetts." u.-...
There you have it; if such men ought
not to be hung as tories, then there was no
justice in hanging Andrew Patchen. Will
not Father Greely Of the Tribune, set these
things down as "whig claims to patriotism?'

aF Whenever the subject Of the cost Q

O. Whenever the subject Of the cost Of
the new State House was alluded to prior
to the election last fall, we were told that
it would not be so very expensive, because
it would be done mostly by the labor of the
convicts of the Penitentiary. The report
of the State House Commissioners says,
that s'the estimated cost of the building is
1851 1885," which estimate was made by
Mr.. Walter, of Cine innati, gentleman Of
great experience, and they express the be.
lief "that an allowance Of ten per cent. on
the above amount to cover the cost ofsu-
perintendence and other contingencies,
would make the sum amply sufficient for
the completion Of the building How
much of this expense will be betrayed by
convict labor may ascertained from the fol-
lowing paragraph copied from the report ol
the Com missioners:
"By careful examination of the esti-
mate in detail, the Commissioners have
come to the conclusion that about $3.50, 600
of this cost may be in convict labor, and
that $3.50, 900 will be required in CASH.
To complete the building in ten years will
require the labor Of one hundred hands for
two hundred and seventy FIVE days in each
year, together with an average annual ex
penditure during the same time, of 1925,
600 in money. This latter sum, in uddi
tion to the labor above mentioned, would be
something more than double the amount
which could annually be derived from the
Prison." -a~ .'e-s5

PRESIDENT POLKA correspondent Of
the New York Evening Post, in sketching
men and things at Washington pays the
following high, and just complaint to the
President of the United States:--"No man
can enter into conversation with President
Polk without being struck with his perfect
ly unpretending manners, and the appear
ance Of honesty and directness in his whole
demeanor. He is just such q man, you
would say, after half an hours talk with
him, as is fitted to be at the head Of a Dem.
ocratic government; there is no want oi
dignity about him, bu: his manner carries
with it perpetual recognition Of the doc.

was intensely cold and the water froze so
fast as to greatly impede the operations Of

blowing almost gale, prevailing, caused
the great extension of the Fire! a

were rendered houseless by this terrible
