clared that Polk and Dallas were presented to them
as the .uncompromising opponents Of that falsely
cattedsystem orPROTEC7TO.Va and as the friends
of an Independent Treasury and the bold and I'M
qualified advocate of the immediate dnnerdton %
Yerds.
In the next column are the resolutions Of a Polk
ratification meeting in Noxubee, Internationally
opposed 10 n TARIFF FOR PROJECTIONS
md an GUor Of The immediate annexation Of Teras
Here, then, are no less than FIVE public meetings,
all for POLK and TEXAS, and ALL AGAINST
PROTECTION. We allude TO these points par
tcularly, but of course the other Locofoco doctrines
were avowed. m The South, then, Annexation is
emptdicaly purity question, and SO is the question
of Protection; while here in Vermont, all that in
geuuity can devise - all that can be brought by
misrepresentation to bear upon these questions
is resorled TO by the Locofoco leaders and organs
to cheat Vermouters into the belief that these
truths are lies And these sinners talk about by
pocrisy janus faced politicians, deception, and all
that just as gravely as though they were sants.--
Confusion to these wretched decelvers! We have
a rod in pickle for the other part of the Patriots
lobored article. We shall show, by LocQfoco au-
horiiy, that the annexation question one of the
main causes which produced the dsgracefu oban-
dontnent of Mr.. Van Buren,, and the nomination of
James K. Polk.
Since the above was in type, we find that the
Patriot of week before last gave Mr.. Lyons views
with more fairness. This is palation of its of
fence, perhaps, but ii clearly shows that the mis-
representation in the last paper was not made ig
noranty. 1t may have been done carelessly.
MORE FRAUD UPON THE Pc JPLE-THE
BURLINGTON SENTINEL UNMASKED.
The Burlington Sentinel of Friday-one of the
oldest ocofoco papers in Vermont-heads an article
with the following quotation -
can parties ought to be satisfied with Tariff for revenue"
-C'dy's late speech at Raleigh, SOuth NORTH Ciroind.
The Sentinel then goes on to argue that if the
Wings were sincere and honest they would be en-
titled to credit for approaching something near
The Democratic standard Oh the subject of the Tar
iW-that Mr.. Clay has abandoned the doctrine of
protection for its sake and therefore that eli
ther the Wings must be set down as forsakng the
doctrine Of protection to follow MIR. Clay, or Mr..
Clay as abandoning his revenue doctrine to follow
from this quotation, and they go to sustain the
wicked attempt, which is now making by all the To-
coioco papers of Vermont, TO abuse and deceiue The
people on this great question. We have only to
add that the above is gross misrepresentation OF
Mr.. Clay, and a BASE FRAUD upon the readers
of the Sentinel We refer our readers TO the
Waterman of July II, ana the VI Patriot of July
20, for extract of Mr.. Clay's Raleigh speech
from which the above vile imposition manu-.
featured. 1t will be seen that MIR. Gays language
was this:
All parties ought he satisfied with Tariff for revenue
AND Determinations FOR PROTECTION"
The Sentinel then has thus concealed the most
important part Of the sentence from its readers, and
has then basely drawn differences which were d.
recty contradicted by the words which it had o.
mtted!
Is this villany.-is it conveying to the people a
representation of Mr. Clay's views which is utterly
fase--and which the author of it must have kno,cn
TO be utterly filsc,-is it gross faud upon the
readers Of that paper and will these readers be de-
ceived by it. and 90 about unwittngly to deceive
others? We leave it to every reader to answer
with the single remark thlt this is the way in which
the locotocOs Of Vermont, who are honest and sin
cere in their favor TO protection, are absolutely
sWindied into the support of Polk. If the locofo
CO party will be the dupes Of such infamous edi-
tors, it shall not be any fault of ours.
