AMERICAN MANUFACTURES.

The Federalists, while they supposed that com
meyce was the great source Of national prosperity,
opposed the Tariff Policy. The Republicans, on
the other hand under Madison, Tompkns, &c. ur-
ged the Importance of encouraging domestic man
ufactures that we might become independent OF
England. So far indeed was this policy Carried
that laws were passed prohibiting imporatons from
England. All the leading Republicans were for
the Protection of American Industry. The FEEDER
alists, for this and other unpatriotc movements
were broken down and dispersed
But Federalism has revived under the mask OF
Democracy The Locofoco party is urging all
the odious and exploded measures of Federalism
Its hostility to American prosperity, and its adyOca
cy of British interests is shamefnlly avowed. 1t
seeks to elect President who is pledged to destroy
the American Tariff The Locofoco party is led
also by Federalists in disguise. Hubbard, Buchan-
an, G. j. Ingersol, Bancroft, &c. &c, were Hart
ford Convention Federasts and would have been
Tories, with James X. Folks ancestor, in the revo
luton. s if they had been old enough"
Nor are these the worst features in The case. Lo-
cofocoism is fighting us with BMTIsH GoLD! En-
gland furnishes funds to destroy our Tariff
The money used to elect the defendant of q
British Tory, comes from British Manufacturers
And this treachery, this abandonment of Amer
lea, exists in a party claiming to be Democratic!
The struggle therefore, is with perfdious Amer
leans who are sustained by British Manufacturers
Nor is this all we have to contend with We have
a domestic Traitor. John Tyler has gone with til,
patronage of the Government over to the enemy
and abolitonism, protesting to abhor Slavery, il
PLAYING into the hands of Polk, that Slavery may b.
strengthened and perpetuated!
We have, therefore, solemn responsibilities upol
us. The crisis demands services and sucrifices.-

SrRUCTIONS CORRECTED.

SIKUCllONS COhHECIED.
We are happy of the opportunity to correct the
numerous msconstructions and misrepresentation
of both locofoco and third party papers, as 10 Mr..
Clays position on the Texas question: by letter
from Mr.. Clay HIMSELF which will be found in this
days paper. 1t is plain-unmistakable Most
emphaticaly does he reterate the high and patri-
otto grounds taken in his Raleigh letter-grounds
witch gave the friends of Freedom and Union, of
Peace and National Honor, assurance that all
would be safe under the administration of Ken
tucky's nobest son. His position is that of I'M
compromising hostility to the measure, now and
ever, so long as any considerable and respectable
portion of the confederacy stands out. Thus, that
measure is subjected to the control OF the free
States; and what more can the friends of Free
dom want? What shall satisfy them, if the pos
session, in their own hands, of the complete con-
troll of this momentous question will not do it p
Yet this is the concession which Mr.. Clay makes
to Freedom; Southern man az he is--ay, and even
himself slaveholder--he has not hcsitated to say
that this momenous question, involving the perpet-
uaon and extension of slavery, must not, and shall
not be decided, Citkoui the common consent Of all
the States In such hands we feel that it is safe to
trust this queston-that it is infinitely preferable,
to say the least to the alternative of voting for an
nexation, either by voting for James X. Polk d.
rectly or indirectly supporting Polk, by voting for

MARYLAND ERECT!
FIRST WHIG GOVER.NOR EYER CHO.
SEN BY THE PEOPLE!


"A Hhig Senate Whig House-erery county Hhig
but hree-a Whig U. S. Senator secured!
Maryland, for the first time, in an cleo
ton for state officers, is Wing all over
the Wings having carried their Governor
and sweeping malorities in both Houses Of
the legislature. Almost the only dark fea-
ture in this election is in the city and
county of Baltimore, where the locofocos
have played deep game of fraud beyond
denial. Indeed, this is admitted by loco
focos Of the city themselves. We can
not do less than remind our readers of
Mr.. Jefferson's idea, that our large cities
are the ho.-beds of political corruption.
We have no doubt that gangs of locofocos
have been employed to travel through the
country and vote at Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, New York city, and the principal
towns Of New Jersey-thus contributing
by double, treble, and quadrupie voting to
defeat the popular will The Wing Gen.
trail Committee of Maryland assert conf
IDENTITY that no less than 1900 fraudulent
locofoco votes were cast in Baltimore
Deep as the game has been played in Bal
timore, it has been in vain and we trust
that this wholesale fraud has stirred up the
Wings of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
New York to every effort to thwart SINH
lar frauds at their own polls.
Mr.. Carroll, the Locofoco candidate for
Governor, is descendant of Charles Car
oll-of old Federal stock, and personally
very popular, while Col. Pratt ran behind
the Wing ticket.

POLK PROTECTION.

1t is now settled and admitted that Ezekiel Polk,
grandfather of James X. Polk, did take Protec-
ton under CORVALLIS at the time the British Ar
my oyerran North Carolina during the Revolution.
What was British Protection? Mr., Folks apol-
ogists say it was Protection from 1ory vengeance
and that Polk took it to preserve his property from
confscation. But if Polk still adhered to the a.
merican cause, we do not see how he could ask or
CORVALLIS could give him any special Protection
any other Protection than such as every citi-
zen in temporarily subjugated district receives of
course from a commander in civilized warfare If
Polk had been with the gallant little band which
still rallied around the standard of Marion and
Sumter, awaiting in wllds and Businesses the ar
rival of renfoicements from the North to reestab-
lish the Wing ascendency, there would have been
no chance for or thought of obtaining Protection
from Corvallis
But what was Protection? Did any man ever
hear OF the British commanders in our Revolution
airy struggle granting protection TO any but such
rs renounced the Wing cause? We never did.
The Louisville Journal copies from Steedmans
History of American war the following oath which
was required to be taken by all who applied for
British Protection viz;
81 Ezekiel Polk of the State of North Carroll
nol hereby make oath, on the Holy Eyangelists of
Almighty God, that will adhere to the cause of my
lawful sovereign, His Majesty George III. King of
the United Kingdoms Of Great Britain and Ire
IaHu, uCbuoWleuglhB tul He is lle true ana laWlul
sovereign of these American Colonies, now in a
state Of revolt and throwing up my commission in
the rebel army; and will give no aid, protection,
or countenance to the rebels now bearing arms "a
gainst their lawful sovereign, but will faithfully
fulfil in all things the duty which as good sub
iect owe to his Majesty, George the III aforesaid
King, &c. and which all the people of these Colo
MES owe to said George the Ill their lawful soye-
reign, so help me God"
This is rather more explicit and plain spoken
than any thing get the subject of Pro-
lection from James X, but not more SO than his
fuminatiens against Protection always up to the
present time.
Need we say again that we do not at all op
pose Mr.. Polk on account of what his grandfathe
did? We seek bat to expose the impotence ant
falsehood of the claim set up by his Champion
in his biography and elsewhere, Of Revolutionar,
merit in his ancestry. This is cheat and shall
be exposed NJ Y. Tribune.

A WARNING TO MR.. DILLING-
HAM

The following is an extract of letter,
from ga Democrat of high standing in
Orleans County, to the editor of this pa
per- After having reiterated his want of
confidence in the democracy of Mr.. Dill
bingham, which he says he freely express
ed in 1912, and which was confirmed by
the votes of some 400 of his party in '43,
the writer says:
" But by adhering TO the principle of
sticking 10 party nominations, | voted for
him at the last election. cannot do it
at the ensuing one, and will for once ADAM
don the party, and of two evils choose the
least, and vote for GEORGE B. CHAN
DLER for our Member of Congress
If it will be any consolation to Mr..
Dillingham;, or (rather more probable
any encouragement to the Wings of this
district, we add that we have heard of
sundry other individuals, who voted for
Mr.. ID. at the September election, yet will
not support him again. Wings rally TO
the support of your candidate leave not
a vote behind. His success adds an I'M
wavering supporter TO the cause of the
people-to the cause of protection to the
interests of every one of his constituents.
He is bound by no party trammels which
will force him to sacrifice you upon the
altar either of American Slavery or OF
Free Trade. Ay, if you send him to
Washington, we know him well enough TO
warrant the pledge that you will not find
him one day voting with the enemies of
protection, and anon with its friends-one
day with his colleagues, and on the next
occasion against them Elect him, and
we think no freeman will need TO blush
on reading the votes of the representative
from the fourth district.
To our correspondent: we fear -
- is Coined 10 his idols"
