As part and parcel of the system of fraud by
which Polk and his friends are attempting to
cheat the Pennsyvanians, may be regarded the
affected GOODNESS towards him of the nullifiers.-
Rhett and others now pretend that they expect
no good to result from the election of Polk, be-
cause he has compromised his free trade sent-
mens with the Yankees. But, notwithstanding
Mr. Rhett's affected displeasure with Mr. Polk,
he WiH vote for him-and South Carolina will vote
for him. They proclaim at the South, when con-
tending with Southern Wings, that Mr.. Polk's
sentiments are "Sourhern TO the backbone -
and now the unworthy artifce is resorted to of
affecting TO consider Mr.. Polk recreant to the
free trade policy. 1t is contemplate trick, de-
signed to help out the Locofocos III the Northern

that most bitter denunciations of the measure
