II The Plebcidn still assails RoBERT SMITH
for using in the New Custom House the CORN
than Capitals from Italy which had been bcspo-
ken by the Van Buren, Commissioners before he
took the Contract There is threefold mean
ness in this. In the first place, individual who
takes contract to do certain work for 30 much
was ever expected to pay high price for bus ma
terials when they were offered him at lower. In
the next place, Mr.. Smith only used and paid for
the materials which the Van Buren, Commission.
ers had ordered and expected him to use. In the
third place Mr.. Smith is in favor OF protecting
the Mechanics of this Country by such duties on
the importation of such articles as will come in
competition with their products as will make it
the interest of all to use the homemade article,
,ohile the Plebeian IS d deadly and apo,oed enemy
to that policy. Yet that base paper, while con-
tending that we as a nation should always buy
where we can buy cheapest abuses ROBERT
SMITH for doing that very thing Mr. Smith Is
in favor of Protection to our Mechanics, and will
gladly conform his contracts and business thereto
but he cannot be expected to pay all the cost OF 1t
out of his individual pocket while the gains ac-
crtc to others who buy on the Free Trade princi-
ple And that very Plebelan, which abuses him
to the Mechanics for buying figured stone in italy,
in the sumo breath calls ON the Sailors TO oppose
him on the ground that he is hostile to all Fo-
reign Trade or Importation Can impudencc
and deception exceed this
U The Loco-Fo are dismayed at the pop
ularity of RoREkr SMITH, as we'll they may be.
In their desperation, they yesterday got out an
Extra Plebeian, flied with the falschoods Of the
whole week preceding, and flooded the City with
it, trying to screen themselves by dating it .Sdfur-
day Ereninq. We trust this extraordinary desc
Grafton of the Sabbath to base elcctonecring pur-
poses will be rebuked as it deserves by our sober
minded citizens.
