M, Ep,rop:-The Democracy OF Rut-
d County were never in better spirits
n ut the present time. If James X,
k was nOw up AS candidate for the
sidency, he would carry, even the vote
Vermont; the people Of New England,
politics as in every thing else, act for
ir own pecuniary interest-for the
lars and the Gents. Every act of the
sent Administration has contributed to
Ike the laboring masses, free, prosperous
happy, By the Iaboring masses, |
y an every man that makes any kind OF
pr, business, be he rich or poor. All
wish to labor have plenty of employ
bit and good wages, the farmers have a
h price for all the products of their

tn 90 cts. per pound-Corn, COM
IDS one Dollar per bushel, wheat two
lars per busheI, hay IS per ton, Po!a-
2s per bushel, and in Whitehall N.

oil that sold under the wing tariff of

B, last winter at "a to SO cts, per pound;
every prospect of selling the same

2 cts. The manufacturers TOO, to pay
a passing notice, are not quite dead,
Notwithstanding the wonderful sto-
y our neighbors, the Mexican Allies,

N ped the whole of the Federal press Of
England, who clamored so loud, one
ago, for the repeal Of the tariff Of '4G,
N now mute and silent on the subject
y find they can make no political hob
II that question. The reduced duty

{ ced Great Britain to make similar

pr staple commodities particularly on
isions, which, even in time Of fam
could not have been purchased BY the
and the middle classes of Europe,
not the enormous duties been can
d. The United States can raise bread
enough to supply the Whole 'cOrld;
with the present reciprocity in the
and commerce, the balance Of trade
hid must continue to be, in our favor.
precious metals are now flowing into
country in abundance, money has be-
plenty, and everything indicates
the farmers OF Vermont will realize a
rce, this year, for their wool, which
greatest staple article of Vermont.
