"Permit mp, in conclusion, by a few words in the way of allegory, to give my impressions respecting the ultimale resulis j ' i t of the t'florts you are engnged in, connec- icd, as they are, with the olher benevolent opcrutions of the present day. Mfihoughtl had left bchind me ,v. e,.m, .n,i n,l. Krrt.i r I , ... . ... . , i and pnssed these visible hcavcns.

Look, j-aid my coi.ductor. I will show you j uhence this darkness proceeds, I looked, snd saw a burmng stream which sent up clouds ond smoke. This, said he, is the uni ttd ickedness of men, into which empty, as you sce, all their v iccs; and that broad tributary, which madilens all tho resl, you may know, by the halfconsumed bodies it licars along, to be Intomperance; but look again and tell me, whal new thing is visible. Isee, said 1, a few springs rising ficm benenth the ground,and men of serious a-pect, here and there, pouring water on therarth. These wafers, said my conduc :r,thus poured out, are the labors and pray. f rs of pious men, which are to be made fmntains of blessing, see, in each place, n epring arises, of pure tfater These, united. are to form a rivcr that shall qucnch the fi ry flood, observe! they are springing up indistant countrics,- fed through channels beneath the sca. When this shaH have been attcntivcly scanncd a yet more happy sight awaits you. I looked and saw the face of things quite changed. As when n turbid torrent, fed by no living fountains, drics up on some barren sand, the fiery flood had disappeared, and, in its place, a liver broad tud deep flowed on,xver whose hanks, and spreadiug thence far on every 6ide, a glorious light was rnanirest, which, my inslructor taught me, was the smile of God. It is a vision.continued he, that you have eeen, but one which ofTi;rs the imagc of re alitics. Return to the eatth, which is still to be your home. There may you, if you will, do much to augment the brooks and rivuleta of blessing which shall mingle in this river of peace. Fired at the thouglit, I spring from my slumbers. To rnyself to you I call aloud; O let us cher ish the fountains of pure water; let us pour out the oblations of pure prayer; then shall we be sharers in the triuniph and rojoicing when America shall be lighied with the sun light of the smile of God." (XrThe Loco Focos aro propagating a raiserablo lie to the effect that Gov Paine instructed his agents to pay only 24 cents per pound for wool for his factory. He is not locofoco enough to do that. He goes against locofoco doctrines of reducing the price of the raw material to the Iow price of other countries, as well as against the low wagcs system ofthe locofoco creed, Nor does he hke Nathan Srmlie, grind the faces of the poor with mortgages and high rates of interest, and tomake interest still hieher, like the said iNathan.seek todestrnv i Banks, and have all the money hoarded in ! This vote discloscd one real difKcuJty. lhe hands of rich men. ! In the first place, a portion of the whigs Gov. Paine in the course of his business I mostly from the south and west voted a pays out for wool, to the farmers of Ver-1 gainst the proposition.for the reasons I have mont, at the currentpr:ces,aDoutiuu.uuu annually. Nathan Smilie's business has been quite of a different character. He has sold,say from S5 to 810,000 worth ofspir its annually, and the money has gone, save what did not lodge in his own hands, out of the State and country. We would do him "o injustice, and will say what we learn to J truth, that some three years ago, when hegan to trim his sails to be Gov. he Ieft ne active duties of a grocer.and put his son thestore in company with another man. Ad the author of many ofthe high wrought Plhs of Smilie, which annear iu the locofo- co Parers is this same man supphed with capital by the man he puffs : they read as though they carae from a groggery. If the locos can make any thing out of their at tacks on Gov. Paine because he is a tnanu facturer, we mistake the temper of the de mocracy of the people of Vermont. Cale-donian. Vile Deception. No trick is too mean, no falsehood too glaring, no deception too gross, for the loco foco papers of Kermont. We use hard lan guage, but u is TRUE. The proceedings ofthe House on wool have been studiously conctaled from their readers; the speeches of their own members against protection have been suppressed; and in defiance of far.ts ofthe most overwhelming character, these presses steadily persist in asserting, what they know to be false, that their party in Congress is for protection, and the YYhigs against it. How, tlien, can we be faithful to an abused, betrayed, and deceived people, if we do not exhibit those presses in their true light, and speak of them in plain Ian guacer It is our dutv to do so and let this j be the apology for the rudeness and severity ' nrni i. 1 1 uu, sFdi.u. , , c i uuiu &iuuK oi lueirj us honcst but mistaken men but they force us to treat th;m as kuaves.

They care nothing for their cwn reputation, Iionor, or truth nothing fi r "e intcrests ofthe people ifso be they can, by trickery, deception r.nd lies break down the Whigs of Vermont. Watchman. PEOPLE'S PRESS. Tuesday Sept. 6, 1842. Washington, Aug. 23, 1842. To the Editor ofthe Peuple.s Press. Sir: You will see hy the Intelligcnccr of this mornrng that we passcd atarilTbill through thellouse yesterday. This will be an agreuble surprise to you, as it is a source of gratiGcation to me which I can hardly find words to express. Almost ull our fricnd.-. despaired, a week ngo, of bcing ablo to ac complish any thing during the present sea. son. Tho last Vnto threw the whigs into contusion, as U kos intende'd lo do. The President know, nnd his advisers knew, how sensitive the whigs were iu regard to an aibitrary e.xerciso of Executive power especially the power of tho vcto, which they had seen exercisod so wantonly during a former administration, and yet more wan tonly during the short existence of this. That sensitiveness, and the reluctance to do any thing which could srem likn submit ting to "Captain Tyler" had well nigh cost us the TarifT. There was also a very great reluctance to give up the public lands to the combined power of the President and his new allies. Many ofthe Southern and Western whigs who had gone with us for the vetoed bill felt that they could not sus tain themselves at home should they vote for it without the clause providing for dis tribution. It was thus made to appear how much the passage ofthe tarifT bill had de pended upon the severance which it propo sed to cffect, ofthe proceeds of the public lands from the revenue denved from cus tums distributing to the Slatcs what of right belonss to them, and giving to the protectional interests what of right belongs to them, namely, the raising of the entire means of carrying on the gorernment from duties on the productions of foreign skill and industry. It had been apparent from the besinning, that wo could not carrv a good protective tarifT without the votes of those who valued land distrioution more than protection. The veto threw us into a position in which this was demonstrated ; and it was demonstra'.ed in a way which, for a time, seemed to involve our prospecis in uttcr darkness. But light has broken in, at last. You probably observed several days ago, that the chairman of tho Committee of ways and means ofTered a Resolution, declaring that it was expedient to pa-.s the vetoed bill, without the land distribution clause, and e.x empting Tea and Coflee from duty. On that Resolution the vote stood Yeas, 68 whigs 3 Tyler men Locos 15 total 86. j Nays, 42 whigs 2 Tyler men Locos 70 total -114. u;j;esie(j, though unong them there were several who did not vote for the bill, and who have now vottd for protection. In the next place we were uoexpectedly met by an almost unanimous vote ofthe Locofocosa. gainsl the Resolution. We had been told that if the bill should be vetned, they would go for it without the distribution and thus give us a good tarifT. This vote tebted the sincerityof their assurances. They soon became nlarmed, however atthe position in which this vote had placed them, and after holding a caucus, brought forward, through Mr. Charles J. Ineersol of Pennsylvania, a proposition to adopt for two years, the tariffi as it stood, under the compromise, on the lst of January, 1840. This was unsatisfactory to the whigs generally, because, in the first place, it Ieft many inrerests far short ofthe Drotection duc to them. and which harl hpon provided in the vetoed bill, and in' the next place, because it was limited to two years, which there was too much reason to believe would, it the governmen: should pass tnlo the hands of a locofoco Congress, be sufFcr. ed to expire wi'.hout the enactment ofany efficient tarifTfor protection. The friends of protection had no inclination to put them. selves under such a head as that choosing to make a furthcr trial to geta tariffiu their O vn way. In this critical state of things, Mr. Mc Kennan of Pennsylvania brought forward the vetoed bill with the land distribution striken out, and Teu and Cofloo exempted from duty. The result was that Mr. In gersol's bill was rejected and Mr. Mc. Ken nan's adopted in Committee of the whole, and reportcd to the House. Then came the tug of war. Such a contest I never witnessed before in Congress. You will see the history ofit in the Intelligencerof this morning. The result was that Mr. Mc Kennsn's bill passed by a majority of one. The following is an analysis of the vote. TEAS W. L. 3 AVS W. L. ABSENT Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, R.

The two former against the bill and tho three Iattcr or it. On comparing ihis analysis with tho oth er voto I had civen,you will observe, a whig cain in the afErmative, from 68 to 84, and a loco gain on the same side, from 15 to 20. white the whig nays have fnllen from 42 to 34, nnd the loco nays from 70 to 69. All of the lalier party from New England, who wero present, voted against lhe bill, except ing Parminter of Mass. They arejomed to Mr. Calhoun. Let them alone! But let Vt. sce lo it that she is nol drawn into that vor tex! I look upon the result to which we have arrived wiih amazcment, when I remember the condition of things a week ago. This result has been brought about by the most untireing Inbor of those who, from lhe mo ment the veto made its oppearance were aatisfied that it would be madness to suffer Mr. Tylers abuse of the veto power to drive us to a course which would sacrifice the protected interests, and produce an amount of distreas which we could not contemplate without horror. We felt that however un yielding we might be, if the question was a personal one between Mr. Tyler and our selves, yet that this was a case in which it bccame us to divest ourselves of every such feeling, and lo consider what was due our constituents and the country. We had no npprehension that our yielding in this case would be evor drawn into u precedentto justify fulure abuses of Executive power, because we could not bring ourselves to be lieve that any man who might hcreafter be inclined to nbuse power, would be very like ly to rely upon the acts and doings of lhe present Executive for his juslification The President having il in his power to veto any bill we might pass, we found our selves reduced to the alternalive of "cutting aud trying" till we could get a bill which would escape his veto, or leave tho govern ment without revenues, nnd the protected interests in a condition of hopeless prostra. tion. We felt it to be our duty to submit not lo "Captain Tyler," but to a strong in exorable necessity ; to submit just as we would to a pestilence orfamine, or any other like evil. I trust the people oflhe North will justify the oecisio3 which their Hepresenlatives have made in this trying emergcncv, has been made at a creai sacrifice of feel ing, outofrespect to interests which we could not but regard as paramount to all o ther considerations. We leave the President and his alders and abellors in lhe hands of the people, not without strong confidenco that they will, in due time, be made to feel the displeasure which they have juslly meri ted. There may be those who will regard this yielding as inconsistent with the passage of tho tariffbill with tho land distribution in it, afier it was supposed to be reduced to a cer tainty by the Presidents veto of the tempo rary tariffbill, that he would veto this A word of exulanation is due to this apparent inconsistency. W hen the temporary tariff was vetoea, the permanent tarili bill had been reported by the Committee of Ways and Means, and was in committee ofths whole on the state of the Union, with the distribution Section in il. The evident want of reasons for the veto ofthe tempora ry bill, as I think I hive saticfactorily shown in my letter to tho Vermonter cre- ated the imperssion that the President sent us that vcto for the purpose of inducing us to e.xpunge the land sectionfrom the bill which we then had under consideration. To this sort of attempt to control our action none were disposed to submit. There was f,t Ulnrt nnrl that was n rlplprminn tion to pass the bill with disributiun in it For one, I would tooner have lost my right arm than to have veted aye to a proposition to slrike out the 27th section of the bill un - dersuch circumstannes. We feli that it was tion oi taith on that subject. lt you con due to ourselves lo go orward and do whal ! demn and denounce me for heterod jxv, you was. in itself. rieht. and leave the Ptesident to his responsibilily, if ho should veto lhe bill. We had. infaci. no eood reason to suppose that he wou'd voto it, because there was no Coiistitutional objeciion to the distri bution section. and ihero could be no pre. tence of its havinn been passed hastilv and wiihout full consideration. Itcoutd be sented to him as the deliberate judgment of Congress. W had a right to hope there- fore, Ihat he would sign the bill especially us he had, on another occasion, vrofessed great respect to the wishes of Congress.and a strong reluctance to reluse his co.opera- uui jou say nui iuiiie oetore immeu tion !

In my re dent to his responsibifity Having done marks upon the occasion referred to, I took this, and tho justice due to tho Slatcs. and occasion lo say ihat the TarifTought to be the protected interests throueh the land dis-, adjusled in such a manner as to give per tribution having been drfeated by tho Pres- ident, we now feel ourselves ai liberty to yield to the nccessities ofthe case, and pass tl0,is which had been destructive to mter a tarifT with a temporary surrender of land esls protected heretofore; and tlut to accom disiribution. I say temporary, because I P'sh this ebject extremo high duties should cannot doubt that lhe p( ople will, in due time, veto the President and tho party who , ,uw lurtuer rtmarKea inai uie nigo have combined to wrest from tho States what ! duties of he TarifT of 1828 and 1832 could is justly their own. Tho land distribution not bo sustained and that the most intelli bmle has gol to be fought over again, in ' Scnl nnd oxtensivo manufacturcK d spreca our elections. I cannot doubt the result of led a relurn t0 t"ose duties as being sure to lhe contest; and I trust that when this great whig measure shall be again carried, it will go so strong as to stay where the People shall put it. 1 forgot to mentinn, in its appropnate connexion, the factthat when Mr. Mc Ken. nan's bill was under consideration in Com mittee ofthe whole, a motion was made by Mr. Roosevclt of New York, to reduce the duty on wool from three cents per pound and thirly pei cent nd valnrem to one cent per pound, nnd twenty per cent advalorem. The motion failed, though there was a hea vy sound of ayes from the Eastern side of lhe hall tho head quarters of Locofocoism. This shows how much the wool growers are to oxpect in the way of protection, if ihoy surrender their interests to the honds ofthe party of which Mr. Rooscvelt is a promincni Congressional leadcr. I have just learnt that the bill has been reported to tho Senale by the Committee of Finance of that body to"whom it was referred with amcndmenls. It is supposed by some. that it cannot pass the Senale unlcss it is amended in a few pariictilars. If it shall be amended I hare reason to fcar as to its fate, should it come back lo the House the same fears which were entertained with regard to the former bill when there were such strcn uous I'fTorts mada in the Senato to amend it for lhe sake of bringing it again wilhin the powerofthe Housn when it might have been laid on the table or othcrwise dcfeated. I hope, however for the best, as you know I alwavs do. Hope tcas at the botlom ofPan- dora's box. Respecifully yours, WILLIAM SLADE. Ti tbe Editor of tlie Peopla'a Preu. Sm I did not intend, when I askcd the the favor ofyour columns to cxplain toyour readers and lue public, lhe extont of my connexion with a certain resolution, lhe au ihorship of which, had been charged upon mc by yourselt und others, to troub'c you a- gain with any r.ommunicntions ot mine. But your remarks, tntroductory to my pre vious communication, were penned in such evident il! temper and with such a studied design lo mls represent my opinions and acts, that I ask lhe privilege of a smill spaco in your columns toexamine some ot your assertions respecting me. You sneenngly speak of me as a "valiant tarijjile, who nt a recent taritt uonvention in this Couniy, cn. veiged wofuily against the horrible high pressuro tariffof 1828 and evcn now con demns all except incidental protection." I did unt, before reading the above extract, suppose that yonr hostilily to me was so personal and inveteratc, that you would, for the sake of makiug an inprcssionon the pub lic mind unfavorable to me, dehbcratelv at- tack and condemn your own party in this State as unsound upqn thc subject of pro tection, and as deliberately denounce Henry Clay, your candidate for the Presidency, for want of orthodox principles on the snb. ject ofthe Tariffof 1828. But such would seem to be the case, as the following state ment of facts will. I think, abundantly prove. You, Sir, well know that, in the TarifT Convention holden in this Co. last Spring, I avowed myself a friend of the protective policv, and declared mvself ready to supnort It I that policy to the full extent ofthe following resolution passed by the late ictiig Liegisla lure of this StatP, reported by a whig com mittee of that legislature and approved by tho preseot "high pressure" xchig Governor, Charlcs Paine. "Resohed, That our Sena'ors in Con "tives reauested. tffuse all honorable means i "in their power lo procure the passage of ' "laws, which, while they shall guard against "the numerous frauds and invasions now "practised upon us by foreigners and for "eign agents, and whilo they should raise "a revenue sufficient only for lhe expenses "ofthe ft!nnn..- .V.oll U I "regard to lhe patlicular interests of every U Ulbl ItllH. IHl UUU DI1U11 I1U tl U U Llli "section of our country, may give, by pro "lective duties, such a preference to domes "tic over foreign products in our markets. "and may so discriminate between those ar. "liclet which we can and- those which we "cannot produce at home, as to give a just, "sure and salutary encouragement to tbe "industry of every American citizeo." Now, Sir, is the doctrme ofthat resolu tntion. orthodox. ot not? Were those who framod and promulgated it, as tho tewe ofttbelwtUttle.that 1HBX VUit.uv ihe people of Vermont on the subject of the TanfF and Protection, "valiant larifrites" or encmies to protection? Does the' resu lution propose anv thing but protection as incidcnlal to revenue? If the resolution is 'orthodox, then am I onhodox, j sound n principle, then I hu If it is, un. have erred in a- dopiing the principles of the whig party of ( Vermont, solemnly put ionh as a declara- condemn and denounce your own party and your own candidate for Governor! Take which horn ofthe dilemma vou chose. If for the sake of opposing me, you condemn my sentiments on lhe subject of a Tariffand Can you do the justice to these presses give numerous other additional evidences proiection, remember that in so doing, you ! and justice, too, to the Whig members from in the form ofsuch extrac sas we havegiv- lanch your unendurablo analhemas upon prc-'yo'1'' own majotity in the legislature and your own Governor! If, to them then you admit lhe sentiments os expressed in the a bove resolution to be correct, you extend a Hke salvation from political perdiiion to me. 1 wiu for your decision. 'nanancy and siability to tho protection wmcn u anoraea ana avoia ino:,e uuciua- be avoided with as much caie as cxtrcmely result in changes and tluctualions. As proof that I was correct in maintaing this ground, I referred lo the authority ofMr. Clay and to a specch he dclivered in Hano. ver County, Va. in 1840. I give you be low, an extract from that speech in ordcr that you and your readers may see what Mr. Clay's opinion was on the subject in ques tion. He says : 'The question (of protection) cannot be, ''ought not to be, one of principle, but or.c "of measuro and degree. I adopt ihat of "tbe compromise aci, not because Ihat act "is irrcpealable, but because it met with the "sancion ofthe nation. Siability wiihmod "erate nnd certain protection, is far more "importanl than instability, the necessary 'consequence of high protection. But lhe "proleclion of ihe compromise act will be 'adequate in most, if not as to all interests "The twenty per cent. which it slipulales, cash duties, home valuatiuns and lhe list of "free articlcs insertcd in the act for thepar' "licular advanlage of the manufacturers, 'will ensure,! trust sufficientprotection. All togeiher they will amount probably not 'less than thiity per cent. a greater extent 'of protection than was secured by the act oj "1828. WHICH NO ONE STANDS UP TO DE 'FEND." Now, Sir, I submit it to tho candor of a. nv one who heard my remarks on tho occa sion mentioned, to say, whethcr 1 did not go further in tavor of protection than Mr. Clay does in thc above extract. Am I lo bc con- demned for savinxr that lhe hich duties of the Tariffof 1828 could nol be sustained and would end in disastrous fluctuations 7 True, ccrtainly, your Presidcntial candidate should receive the sumo condcmnation for declaring that "no one stands up to defend" the Tarfffof 1828. It is undoubledly very gratifying to you to launch your editorial Ihundcrs against as humble an individual as myself, but is nol tho gratification much di minishcd when you find that the bolis ded tined for my annihilation, take effect (the measure ofthat effect I will not attempt to estimale) upon this "falherof the American System and tho Whig Candidate for Ihe Presidency, who inveighs more "wofuily" against the "horrible Tariffof 1828," more than evcn I do. It is well known to yon that thedemocrat ic party, not onh supported with great una nimity the resolution abnve quoled, upon its passage in ihe legislature, nui tnat incv here, si.ice, in all their meetings in their State Convention and in their several Loun- ty Conventions, unhes:tatingly approved of that resolution and ofthe policy it advocates. Now, Sir, will you be so good, as to inform the public through your columns, whether the principle of that resnlutinn is sound or not, and whether you consiaer tnose wno support it, advocates or euemies to tho pro- leclive policy 7 Respecifully Yours.
