ruE AMENnEn rAnIFF.

BY reference to our Congressional record u will
be seen that very important reductions have boon
made In the tariff Of 1876, so far the action Of
the House Is concerned. There seems 10 be but lit
lie doubt that the Senate will concur in the amend
mcnt. Tho duties on all articles have been rcduc-
cd 20 per cent while some have been placed in
Glasses paying lower rates than formerly, and 9TH
crs heretofore duiable heve been placed in the free
list.
The great staple Of this State has suffered a
greater reduction than any other article in the
eral schedules. Unmanufacturcd wool, hitherto
paying duty Of 80 per cent, viii after the lst day
Of July next, the time when the amendment takes
eject, pay but 8 per cent. The effect Of this re-
duction upon wool growing in Vermont is different
ly estimated by those who are conversant with the
subject Tho former duties on this article, iogcth-
err with the admission Of tho same wool whom man
ufacturcd into blankets and fannels have crippled
the wooden manufactures Of New England 10 such
an extent rs to prevent entirely the making Of
broadcloth, and to inure the other departments Of
this branch Of honest industry II Is said that the
foreign woods do not enter largely into competition
with those Of home production, being Of different
grades. II the present net shall have the effect Of
reviving cur wooden manufactures Il seems resona-
bic to suppose that the demand for native wool will
greatly increase.
The Massachusetts, delegation with ono exception,
and the entire delegations from New Hampshire and
Rhode Island voted IN favor Of the bll Mr. I'd
mands, Representative from the 4th Massachu-
setts District and an experienced manufacturer, in
letter recently published, oontended that the pas
sage Of the bill would not place the pro,ectionist
party In less favorable position hereafter, but its
effect in reducing the revenue would call for ac-
ton next year, to supply the wants Of the govern
ment whereas it may be found, that under the con-
tinuance Of the old 1876 Gct. there will be sufi-
cient for government purposes. and that the lessen
cd imports in these times Of business depression,
will cause a reduction Of revenue sufficient 10 pro-
vent any desire for action by those who are now
ready to lay hold Of the tariff Of 1916 in conse-
quence Of a surplus in the treasury. This may
have been the reason why the amendment was sup-
ported by those who have heretofore been known as
the avowed friends Of protection. II Is proper 10
add that MI the members of the House from this
State and from Connecticut voted agains, the re-
duction.
OF the l26 yeas, il6 were from Democrats and
10 from Wings; and Of the 80 nays, 50 we're from
Wings and q from Democrats.

the liquor law, the first Tuesday Of March Ia do
signed as the day on which County Commissioners,
under the aiorisaid law, shall be elected Ballots
cast on any other day will be of no account We
presume most Of the annual Town meetings in this
State will be held on that day, although the law
allows Of their being held at any time during the
month Of March.
II WIN the Post Masters and iowa Clerks in

the number Ct votes each received; also the names

STATE TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.

Al a meeting Of the Executive Committee Of
the Vermont State Temperance Society, holden
at Casteleton, on the 18th and 18th of FEBRUARY,
1855, present Aldace Walker, Chester Spencer,
]. ii. Patterson, Joseph Perkins, II. +. Leavitt
and Zimri Howe, ii was resolved ,ha, so soon
as suitable person can be procured, to employ
an agent and keep him constantly in the field
To defray the expenses Of such agent, and
also such other expenses as ''ihe committee
may Judge necessary and proper" ii was also
resolved to make an assessment Of one-half Of
one per cent, on the two-hundrGd- and-iifiy
thousand-dollar fund.
Though this fund has become ayilable, ac-
cording TO the terms Of the subscription, il is
expected efforts will be continued To raise the
sum of FIVE hundred thousand, as IL may easily
be done, especially, as in a considerable portion
Of the State very little has yet been accomplish
ed
The Committee regard 1t as Of the FIRST inn
portance that our present excellent prohibi,ory
law, though mol perfect, should be thoroughly
enforced. The best Of laws are useless unless
executed. The example Of the Mayor Of New
York shows how much depends upon the faith
fol execution OF law, and should stimulate all
officers TO be vigilan, in performing their duty
In cases Of larceny, hue and cry is immead-
lately made and every one is ready to aid ia
detecting the thief This circumstance alone
goes far to prevent the commission of crime
So il should be whenever our liquor law is vio-
lated. When this is the case, in,oxcaiion will
be much less frequent than lasceny.
That the law may be better executed through.
out the State, the committee would respectfully
Recommend that the several counties through
out their respective organizations, make special
arrangements to secure this result. They would
also suggest the expediency, among other things,
ofthe counties employing lat their own expense)
able legal advisers to aid in this work. Tenn
perance men and the friends of the law must see
to its being executed.
Newspapers throughout the State are request
ed TO copy the above.

oArHs OF THE Romrsu PRIESTS.

tFrom the N. H. Congregational Journal
Mr.. Chandler of Pennsylvania, lately made
an elaborate defense of the Papal church, in the
House of Representatives at Washington. IL
the course of his speech he denied that the
Pope interfered with the political relations Of
nations, and that the exercise of his power was
only ecclesiastical and spiritual, and not civil
It is matter of astonishment that any intel
lgent man should so boldly contradict the well
authenticated facts of Romish history. The
following oaths taken by every Roman Pries
in Ireland, are enough to show the Jesuitical
character Of Mr.. Chandler's assertion -
]. A. B., do acknowledge the ecclesiastical
power of his holiness and the mother Church
Of Rome, as the chief Head and matron above
