Third Party Letter
from Gen. Mattocks.
Gen. Mattocks having bcen interrogated
by tlic Voice of Freedom on sundry topics,
has given a ry frank, explicit, and
honet answer. li is in kccpine with his
character as a fearless defeti Jer of what he
believcs to be right; and hoivever mcn may
difler with hini on somo poiinVt wo are sure
t hcre can be nonc wlio will not rt?snect him
for his manliness. His viows concur vcry ,
:ierly with our own. Wo hold, as wb have
be fore said, that the Whigs of Vermont I
should prcier above oll olhcrs the candidatu ,
for the Presidency who comes nearcst to
thcir poliiic.il standard ; ocd in default of
gettmg the very best, if it comes to that,
itiey ought suroly to take the next best.
Any oiher course is uttcrly suicidal to any
pariy, and as Gen. M. suggests, the free
inan who pcrsues any other course fails to
act up to the spirit ofhis oatb. Instead of
doing thc best he can for tho interests of the
country and the state, he praclically does
tho worst. To illustrate tliis : let Mr. Van
Burcn or Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Clay be the
candidates for tho next Presidency, betwcen
whom the election will He. Let us suppose
that neitheris the preferonce of the freemen
nfthis state above a!l othcrs, yot the elect
i0!i of Mr. Clay is far to be preferredto that
-of Mr. Van Duren or Mr. Calhoun, as
JUr. Clay goes for tho policy of tha Free
States for Protccticn, a sound Currency
'andjBhitribution, and both of the others
ngaftiji-all these. In ihis state of things.
ihere 'are four or fivc thousand Whigs wlio
do npt likc Mr. Clay, eithcr because he is a
slave-huldcE or for any other rcason, and
iheiyoteWr a third canHidate. The result
is. IfBt Calhoun or Van Burcn, with his pro
slavery policy, and his utter hos'ility to all
rmiasures which tho Whigs decm good, gets
the vnte of Vermout by a plurality ; and gets
it absolutcly hy means of third -pariy volcs
For all practical pmposes, miitlit not that

if ihrre be any plausible necrssity for any

say, ihat tlie crisis has not come yet, and
rnay not come. In no sortof shape can the
I'resideniial question be justly mingled with
the present election. Such is the majority
in tlie Congress already elected that our
own members cannot efiect the election of

ticulars of which, as we have heard them
related, are as follotvs :
A Mr. French sold or bareaincd a piece
of land to a ncighbor r.amed Robbins. The
land was sowed with oats by Robbios, but
subsequemly, for snme reason, French re
fused to give a deed of the land. Enraged
at the refusal, Robbins throatencd to shoot
the first man who should attempt to cut the
grain. Not beeding the threat, French
sent some men to secure the crop, among
whom was one from this lown, Mr.
Newman. Robbins was on the ground
with his gun, and ordered them off, but not
being obeyed, he fired upon tho forward one
which happened lo be Newman. The charge
struck oae hand, manglin it greatly, and
entered his side. As he fell a son of Rob
bins assailed his head with a pttchfork.
Both Robbins and his son were arrested
and are soon to have their trial. The de

An Ancior To Windward. The
Millerites at the "West, according to the Al
bany Journal, fearful that aftcr 1843 has
actually passed away, and iney oe regaroea
as false prophets, have throvn out an an
chor to Windward. They have improved
the doctrine of Miller by striking out 1844.

hasstrenously advocatcd the views of Mr.
Miller, thus lays down one of the articles
of its belief:

Gentlemen : I duly received your Iet
ter rcouesting my present views as to the a'.a.
tion that the Mechanical portion of our pop-
uiauon snouia occupy in the United States,
and also as to the subject of Home Industry
and Manufactures. Although I have oflen
had occasion publicly to express my opin
ions on these matters, I take pleasuro in
communicating them lojou.
It has always appeared to me, gentlemen,
that the task of admioisterinir our common
Government wouid not be very difficult, if
nonesiy, and Itberality, and reasonable in.
formalion were catried into the public coun.
cils. It was instituied to prorr.ote the gen.
eral prosperity, by a faithful exercise of the
powew granie.1 by the Constituiion. All
partsof the Union and all tha great interests
of the couutry should, therefore, receive the
parental care and allention of the Govern.
ment. No orie section and no ono intcrcst
should desire or cxpect to engross its cxclu
sive regard.
The main pillars of Society aro Agricul.
ture, Commerce, including Navigntion, and
Manufacturos, including the Mechanic Arts.
Owing to tho peculiar positinn of the United
States, agriculture requires but little nrolec
tion, and that confined to a few branches of
it. It is otherwise with the other two inter
ests. They requirc somo protection against
tbe selfish legislation and rivalry of forcign
Powers, which, to make it beheficial and
effectuaf, should postess two qualities, mod
eration and stability, intimalely connected
with each other. Without moderation, oth
er interests would feel th'at they had been
unjustly dealt by.dissatisfaction would ensue,
and that stability in legislation so desirable
in all busincss pursuits, would not be secur.
ed.
Protection to Manufactures and Com
merce is in fact, whalevi r it may be in form,
encouragement to Agriculture. The culti-
vatoroflhe soil is conscious of the great
advantage of having alongside of him the
blacksmith, the wheelwright. tbe saddler
and harnessmaker, ihe tailor, tho hatter, ihe
shoemaker, the cabinetmaker, and masons

are both increased by such proximity, and

FARMERS! THINK: OF THIS!!
Tho Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, af.
ter a statement from this paper relalivo to
ine amount ot cottun and olher manufactu
res exportcd from tho United States to Chi-
na, vcry pcrtinently asks': -
"Uow many barrcls of American flour,
oeet, pork, tard and butter were sent to
China as a component part of the above
15,000,000 yarda.of cottou clolh-as a com.

Would a singlo particle of Ihese agricultu

in the shape of breadstuffsand provisions?
In the name of common sonso then, tell us,
who can, why our farmers aro not most
deeply interestcd in sustainiog domestic
mnnufacturcrs. nnd the protcctive policy J
Yes sure enough why are not the'far
mers morp intcrcsted than all other classes
in tho preservation of the tariff J Every
man, woman and child engaged in manu
factures in this country, consumcs every
year many dollars worth ofthe farmers pro
ducts. If theso persons were not engaged
in manufactures they would, in.all'probabil
ily be engaged in agriqulture, of course
they would not need the products of other
persons engaged in thcsame pursuit. Con
sequently the farmer would be dcprived of
a most valuablo markct. If he could send
his potatocs, whcat, oats, rye, corn, turnips,
beets, carrots, hay, bcef, pork, mutton, veal,
poultry, eggs, butter and cheese, to Europe,
and disposo of them there, he would not be
quite so badly off if the home market should
be destroyed. But this is impossible. A
few barrcls of wheat, and a few pounds of
pork or butter and chccse is all that he can
dispose of abroad, and these only at uncer
tain pcriods. Tho English, French and
German farmers want their own home mar-
kets for themselves, and their govern men Is
have too strong a scnse of justice to throw
them open to foreigners.
Now, if the American farmer does not

OrThe Palriot is still harping opon tho

1841 to Scpt. 1842' which, that paper

and "as fine as tho average of Vermont

iforc tho W'big Tariff went into operation ;
n was imported under fllr. Clay s Uom

act which was forccd upon the country by

from ono step to another, he soon asccndcd

Tiie BinLK.-The following passagc from
Mr. Webster'8 speech at Bunker Ilill, dc
deserves to be circulated far and widc in tho
journals of the country :
"ll has been said with very much vcrac
ity, that tho felicity of tho American colo
nists consisted in their cscnpe from tho past.
This is true so far as rcspects political es-
tnblishments, but no farlher. They brought
with them, a full portion of all tbe riches
of tho past, in science, in art, in morals, re
ligion, and literature. The Biblc came
with them. As it unot to.be doubted, that
to the froo and uriiverenl readinir ofthe Bi-
ble, is to be ascribed in that age, that men
were much indebtcd for right views ofcivil
liberty. The Bible is a book of faith, and
a book of doctrine ; but it is a book which
teaches man his own individual responsibil
ily, his own dignity, and cquality with his
fellow man."

tho duty as high as tho sachems in this re-
gion claim that it ought to be ?
And another. If every Locofoco in Con

to rcducc the duty thercon. how Ionff would
it take Locofocoism, if in the ascendency,
toget the duty up to the noleh requisito lo
