Richard Wells, ly reguett of the lades, addressed the locofocn, democratic 0'-Connellites. Mr. Wells is gentlemen, nn Amtriean, nnd the O'Connellites but a few months since, rejected, refused to permit him to edit the democratic paper in this city; and in his plnce, malgre strong exertions of the Amtriean democracy, selected 8 hfid been in this 'country but a little over two years, benrdles and unknown ignorant of our institutions, nnd not partirnl rhj qualified for much of any thing. Yet the party have been enabled to have this gentleman drawn nut. We hnve so much respect nnd good feeling for Mr.

Wells, that we would not, if we could, say one word to wound him in the slightest man ner. We only con it of his saying in a public address that a protective tariff un-eon t' tul io ial! The fathers of the nation, the frnmer of the Constitution, the patriots ofthe Union, federalists, whigs, republicans and demncrnts, since the foundation of the government, hnve said in the most emphatic manner, directly the itrcr e. Mr. Wells is en rnesilv referred to the manges ofaoor Presidents, (save John Adams and Martin VnnRuren,) from Washington to Jackson, inclusive: to tho votes in Congress from 1791 to 144; to the lives of our greatest men of nil parties; nnd if he thn thinks projier to place his opinion, nnd a few SU hern ot ngninst them, so le it! Mr. Wells is nn American; we know he is honest nnd in telligent, and we are only astonished that such a man enn "give up lo pnrty what was meant for mankind" that prejudice could so operate ns to jaundice, distort nnd warp such a mind.

Mr. Wells did not mention the name of Jns. K. Polk! we do not won der ntthnt! "Isjcu n'tn taut pat la chan d.lle." After Mr. Wells concluded, the Honorable Judge, Varsoi Taylor, made his appear ance.

Jackson; he lauded the old lion to tho skies, and many of his enlightened hearers will vote for Gen. Jack-son. The parson was actually introduced to the old chief 20 years ago, before he was the efficient and masterly President of the VicksburgCommereial and Rail Rond Rank, and the parson once lived near vvny Polk Wonder if the little tiling or the parson w'as benefitted by proximity, ar while f. airum, no doubt. The parson was opposed to pro teclion, and was astonished that Southern planters would permit norther manufactu rers to throw dust in their eyes! Wasn't that smart! Ex-governor Tucker would say, af ter that essay, that Judge Taylor "was some pumpkins in a pie!" Oh, he was warm against our ow shoemakers, and our own manufacturers generally said the people of the South were laboring to enrich Northern matuficturers, which was perfectly outrageous, certainly; heft fees to enru-h foreign mamfacturtrx that's his patriotism.

If Hottentots and Caflrarians only were to indulge in such a practice, we would not lie surprized or astonished, for th delight in filth and nntiseous exhalations! But for white male and female christians! Oh mercy! 'tis too much! God forgive us, we fear we shall die of tobacco!
