Second, fourth and seventh,l the Wings had a

success Of the Wings in every district

this claiming The Admimsushon--thi zeal for a
new Union party in the North. and for imposing
upon the Wing party test utterly repugnant to
all its past professions; all this, we say, the enc
mics Of protection greedily seize and WELD as
the readest and most effective weapon to de.
stroy the Wing party and keep The Tariff as Il Is.
Look at Connecticut; one Wing candidate for
Congress is defeated by " Unionism." The free
traders chuckle over his defeat" One out and
ont Uhig Protectionid killed of'-and by UAigs,
too Good :" That, we imagine, was the sem
timent Of the Journal Of Commerce And look
again another Wing candidate is defeated by
the aid of free soil votes "Ahl the niggcrs
did that did they--wel we will pocket the afironi,
and let the Union 90 to grass another Uhg
Proieciionis bites the DUST and that's enough for
Us. An is fish that comes to our net" That.
we venture to guess, was the real feeling Of the
Free Traders. And precisely as it was in Con-
nectcut we have no doubt, the Journal of Com-
merce would like to have it in every Wing Tar
in State. "Dyide and conquer" That is its
motto.
The wonder s that Boston editor-claiming
to be Whig, also--is green enough to play Sec
ond fiddle to the British organ, and to counte-
nance its trick, too of playing off the .4dninis-
taiion' as an ally in this crusade against the
Wing Party and Protective Tariff. But, then,
man who can see nothing but Modification in
the habeas corpus, is green enough for any alb
surdltv.

The Reason Why.

Every Wing paper i'm New lltup.hre, save
one, is against tho Compromises Mr. Webster
had hro publishers of the laws to appoint -aui
thus having determined to ostacisa every pres.
tut is against 'he compromise he could do Moth
ing better th1n appoint the publisher of roli-
gloas newspaper Il happens, however that The
publisher even Of tais paper is locoioco, and
he pockets the pay. The editor is a Wing cler-
eyman, and friend of Mr. Webster In Maine,
too, we suppose there is only one Whig paper
which supports the Compromises, and therefore
the Christian Mirror was appointed Its no moro
than just to Mr.. Webster to state these ncts.-
But-aye here's the rnb-but does any 5oly be-
lieye that "he Whigs" of New Hampshire and
Maine nsaad Mr. Webster to ostracise every
Wing paper 10 each state, save one We ra;b-
err guess that even the odor of official organ
ism viii not make the public swallow that story.

farmers, twelve dollars per acre, exclusive Of
seed for all the fax they may raise. If English
capitalists can afford to do this, what may Amer
lean capitalists do, who can got the raw materal
which s so extensively wasted, for comparative
" nothing? The linen manufacture is one of
the most thriving branches of English industry,
and there is no reason whatever why it should
not become more profitable in America than in
England. Whether the great discoveries we
have referred to stand the test Of systematic APP
plication or not, it behooves our manufacturers
and capitalists to give this subject more serious
attention.

VERMONT POLITICS.
Letter to the Editor from an Old
Whig.

DEAR Sin II have been thinking for some
time of writing TO cheer YOU on in the way of
well doing" and bid you God speed in your op-
position to that detesable Fugitive Slave Law
but have thus far been deferred from SO doing
/ from the fact that have always RETAINED as
much as possible from doing or saying any thing
that would tend TO bring me into conflict with
the Wing party Of Vermont, as have always
/ looked upon that purity as the conservative party
ui the State and Nation and the only pariv. as
/ it seemed TO me. that could be relied upon to
sustain every citizen in well ordered life But
since reading the late speech Of Mr.. Webster at
Annapolis, have felt "A now desire to have YOU,
and all other editors in Vermont who have not
bowed themselves to the Slave Power stand
firm TO their posts notwithstanding the lrowns of
those IN high places
/ have, until within few months. been great
admrer OF Mr.. Webster, and until recently, have
been inclined to have that charity which would
' cover multitude Of sins !" but when read in
/ in the report of that speech, such language as
thls' / hare no confidence IN any bo4y igbo
seeks 10 rtpeai that fq,gnI for one can 90 no fur
Iiher. That even h. who has been looked M 10
as the guardian Of the free principles of the
north against the encroachments Of the Slave
power, should utter such language, makes one
feel as CTsar did when ne found Bruus among
those who were seeking bis life. Only think of
it--what a change has come over that man -
lie did not use 10 talk So in Faneuil Hall. The
idea TINT our government should fit up and send
a National pessei to Turkey after the leader of
the Hungarian Patriots, simply because he at
tempted TO tree himself and country from Austr-
an oppression, and az the same time put in requ-
suon all the power of the army and navy of the
nation TO prevent ono poor down trOdden slave
from obtaining his freedom from the lowest
depths cf degradation aud slavery, is beyond my
I comprehension. Not only is the slave hunted
