and fixing one end to his rude stirrup, threw
himself upon his horse to retrace his steps'ai
a-slow and leisure pace. -The Irappcr ap
peared even to select the patji with care, so
that the prisoner might not be injured by brake
ok brier in their progress. - .
; In siUrnce without one word being spoken
in that long, long night they continued on
through waste and wild. The unruffled Had.
son refletced the clear rays of the moon, bright
and -unbroken as a .looking-glass. .There,
freshing mists rolled along. the sides ' of the
highland in graceful folds, and nothing broke
on the ear but the wash of waters and the
melancholy, note of the whlp-poor.wilL Just
as the first;, tinge' of i light streaked the east,
the trnpper arrived at the door of his cabin ;
and after-securing his prisoner, beyond the
chance of escape, to the trunk of a primeval
willow hard by, he at once began, the task of
his unequalled, unheard of revenge. f With a
hatchet, he cut the Jong. and .stout branches
from the willow, arid tying them firmly to
gether with pieces of dried, skin, formed a
sort, of rough, strong basket, resembling a
large cradle. ' When'; thfs was complete, ho
threw his helpless captive into ir,Vt full length,
with ills face upwards, and, passing "strips' of
' de through the eppertares of the cradle from
! 'i f-: to 'the neck, bound him fast, that not
even a iinew might be moved. Then,: taking
tf - corpse of his wife ill-fated Minamee!
Yi placed it fice to face with his prisoner.
The horrified wretch clenched and rround
his teeth as the body pressed upon his; but
no 'groan "escaped his lips. His bloodshot
eyes revealed the anguish of his soul ; still lie
would not speak. In a few minutes the liv
ing and the dead were lashed" together: ;The
breathing man and putrid corpse, festering la
corruption, were as one, When so much of
the horrid work was finishedj the trapper
stood with folded arms, and,, with fiendish
smile, surveyed the advancement of his task.
" And now to complete it," said he, lifting
tho load lightly in his "arms, and placing it
longways on the back of his horse tethered on
tho green sward.1 The animal snuflod tho
air, and would have plurged from his brihcn,

tfas, pf a recent cite;-very, forcibly express
'-. h..- .. :.:L i.:.
ed this apprehension in the following para,
graph: . ;
V The election of Mr. Clay must we teak,
be Jooked upon as; to a 'considerable extent,
the corfrmation of the principle of cotzzicr.
cial restriction.. He has always been ihe con.
sistcnt advocate cf a PROTECTIVE TA
RIFF, and' ihe cause of the Vhigs has al.
ways been identified with - that cf the New
England manufacturers, who aim at acqulr
ing a monopoly of the home market by the
aid of prohibitory duties. Nor can we won
dor that such is the policy of the most respec
table and intelligent statesmen of A merica ,
when .weconsiior thui by our corn laws w
shut the door in th5 face cf any' attempt to ne.
gotiate a commercial arrangement on the footi
ing of a fair and sulsiantial reciprocity. VCe
take nothing from, ths United SLiies lut t'xil
ichich tee cannot possibly do rii'.o.--: teir ecl-
ton and tobacco excluding the staple produce
of the great agricultural states of thn west,
by a "sliding sen le ingeniously framed so as lo
throw he maximum amount of impediment in
the way of. access to the English market. , Is
it to be wondered af, 'dicn, that they , retaliate
and meet high duties on American fljur by
high duties on' English manufactures? A
liberal commercial policy three years ago
would have prevented the passing of the re-
strictive Tari.T of the United States, and
would have given a decided ascendancy in
that country to Free Trade principles and the
r ree i rade party. A ' liberal 'commercial
policy adopted ten years hence, as from pre-
sent indications would appear to be ' the pro.
bable result, may very possibly Uiil to recover
what previous blundcts have lost 113. Ti of.
fer to admit American and Gorman corn' in
exchange for British t:::;::urhcturc3 wheu the
uanufucturing systems cf Pmssia," Saxony,
and New England have acquired strength and
become consolidated, will be very like what
the old saying describes as 1 barring the door
after the horae is stolen.' "
Now are the people disposed to allo w the
v.-orkmcn of-Great Britain lo do all cur work?
If we think it good policy to buy every thin'
we need from abroad, instead of hiakin it
ourse!vesr we can do so 'by electing Polk und
thus destroying Protection. Brimh manu-
facturers will heartily rejoice . at this result,
and as the above extracts showj are using all
possible exertions .to bring it about. Their
Government grants bounties for forcing, their1
goods into our markets, and grants loans to
enable their people to undersell ours; .and
their wealthy manufacturers raise subscrip
lions to an immense amount for the purpose
of circulating Free Trade Tracts in tho ttni.
ted State. Is it good po!icyj or h it patriotic,
for well disposed, intelligent, canJiJ Ameri
can ciliaensi lo aid them in this endeavor?

In looking over the colurnrij cf tho Lt
roco Pr?ss, one is almost lod to believe that
soma wonderful change has taken pine? a
rr.ong the people within a. few months p:t,
and that the election of James K. Polk to th.3
Presidency, ii morally certain. With every
reason to believe in April last t that Mr. Van
Buren Would be tho nominee cf the Lc;cf;co
party, they did not evince a lithe cf th.3 ccn.
fidence in his success which they pretend to
feci in tho election of Mr. Polk ; and ilz ccn.
elusion is Inevitable, that they really Lr!;.v,
or Would have the people, believe, th't Mr.
Polk is much more popular than Mr. Wra
Buren. ' - '
Now we call upon our readra c !.:.' 1
investigate lhc question whether Mr. IV.': "
really a stronger opponent than Mr. Vn T
renj and then determine what n re thi
for believing in the possibility tf 1.'
in November.: Wo nil know th-t .
Bure n was absolutely distanced In the- c.
of 1840; and by looking at his posit: j 1 r
strength at that lime, and ccnparing i: .
Mr. Polk's p'bsiticrr'nn J -strength 1:0 .,.
may easily arrive at a very correct conlo.l .
in regard lo the contest of 1811 pre,:.'. 1
