It is difficult to seem merry when the heart is sad—neverthclcss the following article on the subject of the late terrible H.-u.E STORM in N. I-I., from the Lowell Advertiser, is credi- table to the philosophy of the writer. “Augful Calm722't3/.——W'e learn by the Telegraph from Concord, N. H. of one of the most awful and dcvasting storms it has ever been our lot to record. The storm took its rise near the outlet of Winnipis- mostly over the whole State, sweeping all before it. Trees were uprooted, houses blown down ; barns full of expectation, promising for years an abundance, were scattered to-tlie winds in a twinkling.- Many distinguished individuals of the State, had their heads entirely smashed, and all their hopes blasted in a day. The Patriot office, a large and splendid edifice, was almost entirely destroyed. In Straf- ford and Rockingliam counties paraticu- larly, the storm was terribly furious.—— Hale stones fell in all this vicinity as big as tea cups. The somewhat celebrated Jack Hale, was taken up by the storm, while actually speaking to an audience, and carried in a Southerly direction, and has not since been heard of. It is- expec- ted, if he should ever alight alive, he will be found preaching the same doctrines as when taken up by the storm. But the calamity is too serious to speak lightly of. ‘What is remarkable is this: For eig/Itecn 3/car.s*,although the weather has been at ‘times variable, nothing like a storm has .appeared within the borders of the State. It is altogether one of the most terrible Hale storms that has ever happened in the Northen States. Such exhibitions are not uncommon in the l‘ropics, but very rare in New Hampshire. The whole popula- tion in Lowell were in consternation about the fate of their friends. The storm com- menced with a little rumbling noise that sounded very much like the distant voice of George Bmzcroft. In a few days we will lay before our readers all the particulars ofthe terrible‘ and unparalled calamity.” @ The recent glorious triumph of sound principles in New Hampshire has been brought about in‘ a good measure by the illiberal and short-sighted policy of her Legislature. The people of New Hampshire will now have at last an opportunity of contrasting sound \Vhig legis- lation with that with which they have so long been cursed} ' has astonished every body—and we notice that, seogee Lake, taking a circuitous router From the Hartford Courant. It is indeed cheering to see the last State in New England throw off -her alle- giance to the South, and take her proper place with the other New England States, in repudiating British monopoly or free trade, and the perpetuity and extension of slavery. VVelcome; welcome New Ham- sliire. Now, the North presents, asl trust it ever will, one solid phalanx to these ru- inous measures. Let us hope it will alarm Congress and rescue us from tlireatened evil.

New Sir, a mere Revenue Tariff, (being in its vei'y principle and aim opposed to 21 Protective Tariff,) will certainly ruin many of these men and greatly injure all of them. The industry and market ofNe\v England will be so greatly paralized that all her la- bor and farms, and even her rail roads and steam‘ boats, (depcnding as they do on the activity and general prosperity of the country) will feel it deeply, and even the lrish laborers will learn, when it is too ,late alas! that a Protective Tariff is their ivory salvation-—that oppression in Ireland ‘is not worse than free trade in America. We ask the farmer, the mechanic, the manufacturer and all others who labor, what possible advantage it can be to de- press labor at home and import largely abroad. There is a significant epitaph written on the grave stone of a silly fel- low, ofwhich I have often been reminded when thinking of the revenue tariff men. “I was well——I took physio and here I am.” , ./In Incident occured in the city of New .‘Haven, on the 17th ult., which like all lother straws may serve to shew which ‘way the wind blows.
