THE PARTY WITH TWO FACES.

Here, as.every body knows, the reckless Locofo-
co leaders do not scruple to represent James Is
Polk to be in favor of protection To be sure tits
false, as Mr.. Folks own declarations show. This
is the Northern face of the Locofoco party
for the Southcrn At Locofoco meeting in Edge
field Is. C.) the following resolution was adopted:
"Resolued, That in james X. Polk we recognize
an able, bold advocate Of the immediate AnneXa-
ton of Texas, and firm and consistent opponent
of Protective 2'drif, Assumption Of State Debts
and Additions and that, therefore, we cordially APP
prove of his nomination, and pledge ourselves to
his support"
At Locofoco meeting in Ky, according to the
Louisville journal of the 9Th ult, one OF their ora
tors thus described Mr. Polk:
eve have now nominated man who is neither
hero nor magician, n citzon comparatively un-
distinguished, beaten twice i'll his own State in the
Governors canvass but A MAN OUT AND OUT
FOR FREE TRADE, OPENLY AND UNCON-
DITIONALLY OPPOSED TO PROTECTION
AS INEXPEDIENT and UNCONSTITUTION-
AL. We nominate man as the exponent of oul
principes--we fight on our principles and we eX-
pect to conquer on our principles, without any eX-
traneous aid"
There, Locos-before any of you, high or low,
undertake to talk about double-faccd politicians,
p &c that blister upon your tongue.
QFsThe late ocofoco convention in this county
fravely resolved that the public lands ought not
+ he given to the States because the federal treas
empty. 1t is an argument Of little force, even
as good protective tariff would soon fur
i' he funds wanted but it is untrue. Just
lore the Congress adjourned Mr. Wales Chair
man of the Committee Finance,l announced in
the Senate that the for the last year up
July was 927,500,000
