Rapids was lying to at woodward near New Bos-
ton, ILL, one of her cabin boys negro lad of 10 or
ii years Of age, accidentally fell over board and was
drowned. Some German emigrants saw him fall

not known until too late to save him.

How can it he that many people will vote against
Protection to American interest is question often
asked. tits indeed surprising, but nevertheless true,
that there arc tremendous influences work in the
United States in opposition to our home industry

shipping interest is strong, and there is too arrayed
against US, the rich capitalist, tho exchanger ard
shaver. But an influence still stronger at the polls

'''rhe party opposed TO the Wings in this country
is an immense party. II embraces FOUR FIrTHs at
least Of the foreign population, and about third
the American population"
1t is quite natural FOR emigrants to this country to
feel interest for the country Of their nativity, and
they told by the locoGocos that Protection which
the wings preach up would injure their father land
and they induced, though fatal to their present
and future interest, to go into the locooco camp and
vote that ticket, at least, ill they become better in
formed, and more attached to American interest,
when Of them perceive their error and Join the
Wings.
Here lies the ovcrshadowng influence of locofo-
coism in this country Tho slave interest the selfish
capitalists the exchange brokers' the foreign import
ers, with too many of our own, and the mass OF
the foreign un-Americanized cpulaton--these, all
these strong interests seized hold of by the lead
ing master spirits and rotten dcmagogucs of the loco
foco party and brought together and called democrc-
cy! The brokers and note shavers 90 with them be

and thus make their business brisk and give them
'heavy shaves;" the importers go with them be-
their anti protection doctrines kill our industry
and allows them to import the fruits of the industry
of other nations; the slave holders 90 with them be-
their favor southern interest and de-
press and paraize free labor and on, and by these
various combinations the country brought into its
present sad condition. and by them, kept there. If
effort is made by an honest plundcrcd, depressed
and indignant portion of the people to break up this
combined influence, and partially succeeds, the wick
ed genius of ocofocosm devises some plan to de-
feat and disappoint their hopes So we go, as the
country sinks locofocosm rises-her rush lights are
then seen blazing away high the heads of a
grooming people.
How long tho American farmer, the industrious
mechanic, and the working man will be satisfied
with low prices and no markets, and low wages and
no money, & coutenance such things, remains to be
seen. We pity that honest freeman who has sought
to avert these evils

THE HARRISON COUNTY FOOL KILLER.

THE HARRISON COUNTY FOOL KILLER.
We advise the Harrison county folks cage up one
John A. Bingham. rufle shirt, soap lock petufogger
who has his home in CadZ, This fool killer came to
Philadephia last Saturday, and undertook to read the
democracy Ofthis county, lessons in politics. That
they may be aware of him, we give his pedigree He
is short, gray eyed conn looking fellow; has the up.
pearance ofa maniac, is one of the greatest liars ofihe
age and as blackguard he also stands unsurpassed.
He hasR great flow of words and when speaking res
minds one, ofthe devil sheang the hOga great cry,
and little WOOL The first he did in politics, was to
2eddle coffin hand bills against General Jackson. This
fact we saw proved upon him two years ago, by the
certi cae orwo respectable citizens of Cadiz. Since
then he has heen engaged by the whg leaders to black
guard the Democracy, and lie aoOu them, and more
pur6, rotten, political strumpet perhaps could notbe
raked up in the Five Points of N, York, or Small ST.
Philadelphia city. .-s.,-.
Yet such is the vile hack, brought into this county
BY Kirk Patrick and his crew. to teach The supporters
Of General Jackson lessons in Democracy Yes, we
heard this prostitute and fool killer after Safeguarding
and sauderiug, and disappearing the Democratic
party, holding up to praise the old hero whose charac
ter and fame he had traduced and vifed, years ago:
And we saw the very ederalsts who aided in ped
ding coffin hand bills, applaudng him for his hypo,
critical praises ofGen Jacksonl But we tell them that
the democracy are not to he caught in that trap. They
but add insult to injury, in importing hired backguards
to this county to soil that old mans fame, with their
pharaSaiCa and polluted tongues. y, aH,u..g
We have word of advice to the more honest Dor,
ton of the wings You recolect the debased and dls>
eased ScoundreI Ftger, whom Patrick and his crew,
forced on to you afew years ago. You also recoect
the slime, and flth and corruption tina, wretch left in
his trail. the effects from which you have hardly yet
recovered. Then beware. Your leaders are poison
ing the you breathe with Just such another mass of
moral and political pu,relacon.
To the people of Harrison county, we would say,
cage up that fool killer. He is disgrace to commu.
