The Locos AND PRoTEcTIoS.-A great Whg
meeting was recently held at Lowell at which
Hon CHARLES HUDsos, one of the most vaua-
bic members of Congress, simply because he is a
plain, Straightforward, wcll-nformed and patriotic
man, made speech of two hours in length-in
which he took occasion TO prore that notwith-
standing the abuse heaped upon the last Congress
by the minions of Tyler, it did more work and
passed more important bills than any preceding
Congress since the adoption of the Constitution.
He spoke also of the reasons which induced some
of the Loco-Focos to vote for Protective Tariff
which fually passed, for which they are SO loudly
lauded by those whose rule of action is hostility
to the Wings He says


Ten ofthase Loco-F oco votes came from Penn
sylvania and some of them from Free Trade men.
They argued thus: We shall have the power il
the next Congress: the country is in debt; Pro-
sective Tariff is unpopular. We will vote to pass
this Tariff under protest, (and most of those
who vcted for stated expressly that they dsiked
ings, and when we come into power 1oe Kill take
from IL us protective character. These were
the arguments used and the motives which promp-
ted many of those twenty-five Loco-F ocos TO vote
fer that bill. Tknor It, said Mr. Hudson, for
HEARD THEM SAY so


The cry of Repeal was thus raised even before
the Bill was Passed-and has been repeatedly
echoed since. Wlat then has PROTECTION to hope
from Loco-Foco Congress?
