Beautiful Cintsistency.—Tlio Black Re
publicans of this State who are now
shouting lustily for a high protective
tariff," making it prominent issue in
the ooming Congressional election, last
fail nominated and suppoi ted David
Wilmot as their candidate for Governor,
who was the only Congressman from
Pennsylvania who voted for the repeal
of the protective tariff of 1842, and the
substitution in its place of what the
protectionists called the free trade
tariff of 184 G. Wilmot and Vico Presi
dent Dallas , whogave the casting vote
for it in the Senate, were burnt in effigy,
for their course, all over Pennsylvania.
Yet Wilmot, only last year, was the
gubernatorial champion of the same
party which is now so clamorous for a
high tariff. In 1857 they cared nothing
about it ; but in 1338 it is highly im
portant. Bat this is not all. The
Republican of Representatives in
1857 repeal '; tariff tariff of 1848, and
substituted with consideii .

Sentinel calls attention to those fitetp
merely to show the beautiful consisten

country store in Franklin township,
to show his busines, hung, among other
things, on the rack before his door a
pair of boots, sometime since. In an
hour's time, lie noticed a wren carrying
sticks into one of them, and at night
when ho went to take his sign in, ho
found a wonderful chattering going on
inside. A pair of wrens had located

them out again, and in the evening
