or two in reply. We are in favor of protecting
wool. We do 60 for the protection Of all inter-
esls. C.) We give column after column" of So

growing classes that they not The special ia
vorites and pets OF the party III power, but nre de-

water for tie corporation nobility. (2) And there
is another hing we are moi o}raid 10 do-to pub
Iis, facts in Reference to Tariff, whether they
make tor or against protection, and any or all ar
licIes we meet with, from which we ourselves or
think the public Gun CLEAN useful Information.
Upon subject so intricate and difficult Of COM
prchenson, think too much light canno, be
shed. We are not afraid to trust the people with
facts Can The Watchman say as much? And
will it act accordingly? (3)
Is our neighbor little piqued because the no.

Parioi, the peoples organ, instead OF The Walch

l. The Patriot says it does go for protection of
all interests. 1t begins 10 talk like something at
last. For weeks and months, with constant per-
,inacity, we have slriven TO induce our neghbor
to confess Aye or No on Protection. This is the
answer given PROFESSIONALLY with all sincerity
and soberness, we suppose. Now, if it is not as
king too much, we should really like to have bit
of our uriglibor's experience in getting Of the
daik region of free-trade theories and cotton
Drained distractions. When did he first see The
light when drop the last years doctrine that in
duslry can take care Of itself'; when repent of
the heresy, that there must be Thrift "for rev.

when abandon his ground Tint only one OF the
resolutions Of the last legislature, land that limited

| hraced the true locoioco doctrine? Do tell all a.
bout tiff you really do 60 for Protective Tariff,
which shall embrace all interests. But
= We find the Patriot ukes very odd way OF
advancing the cause oi Protection, viz by falsely
accusing the Wings. Be it known that with the
exception of | | Iocos in Pennsylvania and l in
Mass who dare not 20 otherwise for fear OF los
! in their seats, there is not man in Congress for
Protection ercept Whigs. Aye, the locos are en-
trey against the doctrine tied hand and foot to
the saveocrary, leaving the People to rely solely
on the Wings, or get no protection at all. And
the Patriot abuses them-cuis off the sole hope
! of the people. Is il not an original and curious
uode Of advocating protection? Agaln' in the
same Patriot from which the nIrove is quoted, We
find an argument TO show that manufacture:
need not TO be protected yen, settled aud strong
hostility is expressed to this immense branch o
home industry, on which The farmers must rel,
for home market Call you this protection TO
all interests?
