WHO ARE TIE ENEMIES OF
PIE o "a Gpr sOS!

As the l.ocofoco press in this section of the
country is endearoring to deceive aud bcray the
people by false issues upon the Tariff, it is well
to keep before the public attention few of the
more prominent facts, exposing alike the dupli-,
city, treachory, hypocrisy, and hostility to Amer
lean interests OF the leaders of that party. Id
the North, the Loco leaders and papers jrotcs
to favor protection, but in Congress they unitJrm
iy rote against it, Witness their vote in mass
against Wnthrop's resolution to appoint Com
mtee to collect information and to obtain light
Witness the vote Of the Tory members of the
Massachusetts State Legislature. Witness the
vote only fortnight since in the House on the
passage Of the Tariff A single member only
of the Locofoco party was honest and manly
enough to do his duty to his country and his
constitucnts-WA.ie TWENTY-FIVE LoCos voted
in solid column a aims. the bill. Oe hundred
and fifteen Wings voted in favor OF the bill, and
but one from Northern State against it. and
he only on account OF an omission affecting his
constituents.
We ask the attention of the American people
to the following table. They viii therein be
able - see who are their friends aud who their
enemies.
