How the British Treat US.

In u preceding article We have seen how
the !ocotoco tariff has Frustrated the iron
manufactures. Now let Us see how the Brit

the process of putting dorm American manu-
features has advanced. the British have pr

In other words. the lorotoco tariff ha. put

and the Yankees have to pay the difference

British are in favor of Pierce and the locofo-

LoCAL-THE CEMETERy.-An associa-
ton was organized in this place about one
year since for the purpose of selecting grounds
and fitting them for Cemetery. A commit
tee of the association selected lot upon the
right hand of the road leading to the Four
Corners Oh land belonging to Lambert Has
ting>, ESQ, and about one half mile from the
north end Of the Plain. Nearly eight acres
have been purchased and appropriated for
the purpose, and enclosed by temporary
fence Three or four weeks ago the work
Of preparing the lot was commenced, roads
laid out, which are now partially completed.
and the work OF grading, laying out and pre-
pairing paths, and setting out trees is now 60
ing on \ tomb also. located near the en-
trance of the lot, is in progress of cons'ruc-
tinn. The lai is to br prepared this tall for
u>, and the tomb completed for the recep-
ton of the dead. to b.. inferred next SPRING
Lots will BE- offered TO purchasers early in
the spring. Though il Is desired tha, all who
feel able MAY select and prepare lots, those
who do not will br invited TO deposit their
dead in the Cemetery The change in the
appearance of the los since the labor of pre-
pairing it was commenced is SO great that il
will surprise the visitor; and all will at once
see that with further labor bestowed upon it,
in grading, terracing, completing paths and
ornamcnting with shrubbery. it will be rem
dered a most suitable place for the repose of
the dead On Tuesday evening last the off
GERS of the association for the past were elect
ed for the ensuing wear.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER I'd,

Is the day of voting for Presidential elect
ors in all the States. Are the Wings OF Yer
mont all ready? The result in the country
will be in doubt until after the trial. and
whatever other States NAV do the Wings of
Vermont have duty to perform. and they
will attend to it. They will roll up large
vote for Gen. Scott, we are aware, but friends,
let it be the largest we can possibly make it.
MORE OF THE DocUMESTs.-The Resi-
dent Committee" of the locofoco party at
Washington have sent US more of their vile
trash, in the shape of slanderous pamphlet
upon our gallant candidate for the Presiden-
cv. Gen. Scott is charged with drawing
double pay, illegal extra allowances, &c, from
the Treasury. How could this have hap
pened You locofocos have sat at the Treas
ury door, and how is it you let him commit
such wicked deeds? Shame on YOU for do
ing it, and greater shame still for proclaimng
it now for the purpose of injuring an old SOL
der whom the people mean to honor with
trust worthy of so noble recipient. Why
did you not out with it before? All it is no
mystery. 1t is all trash-petty trash-con-
iured M for the occasion. The Resident
Committee" know it to he so. and they de-
serve to he dashed naked round the world for
sending out such ISLANDERS with the view Of
furnishing the untarnished fame of the no
blest patriot of the age.
Is this the last "Roorbark" OF the season.

rious cause of hunting down in the autumn
of his life man who has periled all, even

An I>CIDENr.-An incident occurred on
board one of our lake steamers, on her trip
from Rouse's point to this place, worthy of
note, one day last week The boat was heav-
lily laden with passengers, many of whom, af-
ter dinner, were seated on the promenade
deck, engaged III conversation and enjoying
igar, when young man in knot of gen
tlemen, commenced canvassing the merits of
General Scott az soldier civilian, and his
fitness for the Presidency. Among other
things he remarked that he was vain, COW
ardly man. Most of the gentlemen were turn
ing away in disgust, when suddenly an old
white haired man of seventy winters, leaning
on his staff, with which he supported his
limbs, rose in his seat, fixed his ewes on the
miscreant who had uttered the remark and
said
Young man, | don't know whether to pity
your ignorance or dcspise Your mcannc>s. |
