Home League.—Thurlow Weed of iho Albany Evening Journal, and the Prince of Whig Humbuggers, although the advocate of a High Protective Tariff Tax, takes some exception lo the term which the High Tariffites have thought proper to assume in order to faciliate the progress oflhcir delusions. He says—‘‘There is scarcely an epithet which “grates more harsh'; !y upon its hinges” than “Home League.” We should have e.s soon thought of adopting ‘“Holy Alliance” as “Home League” as a designation. Both are terms'of foreign origin and use. The Monarchs of Europe form “Leagues” and “Alliances,” but we see no necessity for the adoption of either of their cabalistic epithets.”Well done, Thurlow I There is something in a name after ail, and we have here evidence that you have senseenough to know it. But although the term “HomeLeague” may not answer all the purposes of the- TariffLoggerheads, you must confess nothing could be more appropriate, so far as their principles are concerned. A term of “foreign origin and use,” a “cabalistic epithet” such as is used by the “Monarchs of Europe” to cheat and delude their “loving subjects,” cannot in truth be unappropriate to a party striving to sustain and perpetuate the very principles and policy which have cursed and ground into the mire the people of the old world, and of England especially. But be the term well or ill chosen, i( the People trust to the professions of those who assume it, they will find, too late that they are as baseless as the Whig promises of of plenty of money, high wages and roast beef.
