How ID works.

The British Tariff Of 1886, enacted and persisted
in by a Locofoco Congress, is everywhere work
ing out its legitimate fruits. We have already re-
ferred 20 its runous influence upon the iron inter
ests Of Pennsylvania and Maryland. Many thou
sands Of laborers have been thrown out Of employ
ment by the suspension Of forgcs, furnaces, and
rolling mills, in those States; and the inter
est in northern New York, after struggling through
a series Of years Of depression and oss, is obliged,
at last 10 succumb TO Che ruinous pressure induced
by foreign competition.
The Clinton County Wing has some statistics,
from which gather the following: "On the Sa-
ranac river there forty-one forge fires. Pre-
vious 10 the LIST Of January last twenty Of these
fires had been put out Since that time, fourteen
Of the remaining twenty have also been extin-
guishcd-leaving but six Of the forty in opera
toni BY this necessary suspension Of business,
more than fee hundred hape been Dirotcn out of
tcork, and over two thousand women and children,
dependent upon them for bread, arc deprived Of
the comforts which they have heretofore enjoyed.
In addition 10 these, eight Of the eighteen fires on
the Salmon river have been put out, and others will
follow. So the Ausablc. OF the fifty four there,
probably not dozen will be kept up through the
summer
Al thesc three points alone, 500 men, here
tofore earning from 10 81 per day, will be
thrown out Of work-spd the 81, BOO day which
they have been earning will go, practically, into
the pockets Of the iron workers of Great Britain.

there never was any thing 70 agitate, except the
simple inquiry, whether Mr.. johnson had or had

might be a misfortune, but IL certainly was no

The Wings Of this State are to meet in State con-
vention at Montpelier the 18th day Of July next
for the purpose Of nominating State ticket, and
making other suitable preparations for the coming
election.
In view Of the importance Of this election-being
the first under the constitution--a full repre-
sentation from every part of the State is earnestly
urged by the Wing State Committee; and, they
remark, 1T IL hoped that all the members Of the
county committees will be present, IL will afford
them an opportunity Of comforting together TO adopt
suitable measures calculated 10 continue the har-
mony and success Of the party. In addition TO
State officers and members Of the Legislature, they
have this year TO elect four members Of Congress-
United States Senator in place Of Judge Phelps,
whose present term will expire tho 4th Of March
next, and the various county and probate district
officers heretofore chosen by the Legislature.
The Brattlcboro' Eagie says that full vote Is
Wing victory, and 10 secure this vote all good
Wings should labor. u therefore urges lie friends
10 attend the various conventions-State. district,

thorough organization. We sincerely trust this
advice will be observed, and that the Green Noun
tain will now ms ever be faithful TO her own well

Enthusiastically received by the Convention.
Among the sentiments embodied in the resolu-
tons of the convention, were the following, viz:
That the welfare and interests of hepeople of Iowa
imperiously require amendment of the State
constitutions that we have undiminished confidence
in the integrity, ability and patriotism of the peo
pies candidate, General T. Taylor, and in the wis
dom Of the policy by him recommended to Con-
gress; that the Wings of the country owe it to them
selves, and to the great principles they profess to
CHERISH TO give the President Congress disposed
to cooperate with him in his patriotic purposes TO
serve the country, instead of pursuing factious
opposition TO the bitter end' that cherish
ardent attachment to the Union of the States, and
firm determination to adhere TO il at all hazards,
and 10 the last extremity; that hail with the
the highest qualification, the rising Of new star

In yesterdays article entitled British Pro
lection and american Protection" misprmi
occurred in one sentence, which not only changes
the meaning. but reverses it entirely. The
sentence, as it was written, runs thus: "All
the enhancements of value given by industry
and skill To the raw material remain in the
country where they are impaired, and add to
its prosperity"
The word impaired" was printed import
ed'-a mistake liable to be made and 10 be has
lilly overlooked. Such mistakes are casual in
advertencies, not calling perhaps for the trouble
Of correction; but it is desirable 10 have ones
meaning expressed without ambiguity and in
good English. In this case the accidental mis-
print involves a discrepancy in the argument,
which throws the conclusion into utter vari-
ance with the premises. There are, however,
different degrees of legibility in autographs.

of good faith to the Spanish government to be
violated, by permitting armed expeditions to
be organized within its jurisdiction, in time
of peace, for the purpose of making war upon
a Spanish possession--no matter under what
pretext. Ii the Spanish government is des-
potic, it was equally SO when we made treaties
with it; and not being too despotc for us to
negotiate with, the nature of its institutions
cannot be urged now as plea for violating ouI
own obligations Of amity and concord. To
these, our people, if we rightly understand the
national character, will be true and faithful
nor can we doubt of their sustaining cordially
and steadfastly the course which the Admins
tration has deemed it its duty to pursue in this
affair throughout
