The duplicity ami double dealing Of the par
tisans Of Jackson in regard to his priucipies
merit the most unqualified r"probltion. Mo-
thing can exceed the wickedrrss Of the sys'e>
matte d, crp'ion played IF upon The CT, dulity
OF the American prople, ny the 2rohigyie Ed
tors of "the combination" presses, by which
they have conspired 10 mi,lead, bewlder and
ruin the manufacturing and s.i icultu al states
Of Pennsyl, ania and New York. Without
those states, il is well known General Jackson
canno, be elected, aud those states will never
intentionally elect an an'itJriH President -
H,nce the un5.ush,Ns hardihVod, and unwsa-
ried industry with which The EASY conhhen'e
Of It osc states has been abuset. The votes OF
Gen J,ck,on on the tariff of 1924, and his le'-
ter to Dr.. Coleman have been rrpeaud ly adou"-
ed as proof Of his friendship t, Manufactures
and the Americahesysrcm. Al the north he is
represented a. an ms lated abstract inelig, nee,
unaffected by local Interests and the opinions OF
his friends, whose errors he combat, wi bout
fo,friting any portion OF their confidence He
i. represented as entertaining opinions without
any off nee to his friends, for serving and en-
for, ing which, by others, they ;'reaten In dis
solve he Union. Now this representation is
wirkedv false and known to be so by those
who make it, Upon The face of 1t ,h"re is a

Il is a matter Of moral certainty. Gen. jack

features, affect TO deny that Gtn. Jackson ha,
expressed any opinions adverse 10 an increase
Of the tariff since his vote Of 1924 and again
appeal 10 that ote and his Virginia letter The
veracious Telegraph claims general authority
to meet with positive denial that such decla-

Too true il has exercised the authority to
assert and deny any fac, as best suited It's pur-
pose. So long has this been It's practice that
