HENRY Clay.


A correspondent of the PIttsburg A
mericah, as some of the Locofoco speak
ers and editors have had the effrontery to
tell the people that their candidate. j. K.
Polk, is as good Tariff man as Henry
Clay, asks the publication of the follow
ing letter. recently received by Frederick
J. Cope, Esq. of Greensburg. Chairman
of the committee Of correspondence for
Westmoreland county. The correspon-
dent says: "Here, now, we have touch
stone; test, viz: the Tariff of 1872
Every Wing in Pennsylvania is in favor
Of it. The loco focos say they are in fa-
vor of it. Many of them no doubt are
so. But is their candidate, J. K. Polk,
in favor of the Tariff or not? Their lea.
ders are making strong effo.t to deceive
the people on this subject, and induce
them 10 believe he is. Here, then, is the
issue. We say Mr.. Clay is in favor of
this Tariff, aud opposed to its repeal, and
that Mr.. Polk is opposed to it, and n ia
vor of Its repeal. Let them both speak
for themselves: out of their own mouths
let them be judged. Hear them:

DIR. RALpH-DEAR sIR--ln reply TO
yours of rhe 18Th instant, inquIring what
party and what political principles we
have heretofore supported and advocated
what candidates we intend TO support
at the coming Presidential election, and
the reasons, il any. which have induced
a change N our political sentiments, we
say. A
lst. We have always heretofore, been
supporters of the Democratic party,
(false!y so called having been the ardent
friends and supporter dof Gen.Jsckson and
stood by, and voted for Mr.. Van Buren.
I'd. AT the coming election, we intend
to vote for Henry Clay aud Theodore
Frelinghuysen.
Sd. Our sentiments and conduct hate
been influenced in this change by a full
and impartial investigation of the merits Of
the two parties. We laid aside all the
catch words and prejudices of party, and
have arrived at the conclusion that the
Wing party is decidedly The moro Ameri-
can and Democratic in its character and
tendencies. .a
The present position Of the Democratic
party $50 called is British liz its designs
and interests. II seeks to degrade the
American Iaborer to level with the
laborer of Europe, by denying Protec-
tion to American Industry'--by refusing
the fostering hand Of government to Amer
lean manufacturers, and thereby to Amer.
lean agriculturaIist-for the manufacture
ers are wholly dependent upon the far
mers for their raw materials, such as cot
ton, wool, &c. as well as for their -four
and bread-sluffs of all kinds. The fact
that the Eastern manufacturers use moro
-four simply as slzing-to say nothing of
the amount consumed by the laborers-
than is exported 10 all foreign countries,
is. enough to set this matter in its true
light. We look upon the free trade doe
trines of that party. ending in direct taxa
ticn-as they inevitably do Is wrong,
and we cannot yield 10 them our support.
The Wing tariff of 1912 seeks to protect
American Industry, by giving employment
10 the Iaborer-which necessarily results
from imposing duties on foreign fabrics
in The encouragement of American man
uEacturers, We say then the wing party
is.the more American, and as such we
shall support it.
Nor can VS. consent to the annexation
Of Texas, by the influence of our vo,e.-
We look upon it as unconstitutional and
inexpedient in every point of view. Our
Territory is large enough. We will not
in this enlightened age of the world, sdp.
port slavery, or add TO its bounds. We
wish not for war with Mexico--which
must result from the annexation of Texas
-or the debts of Texas amounting to over
$2O,OOO,O0O.
Mr.. Polk was nominal as the free
trade Texas Caudida,e. We cannot go
either. On the contrary the life of Hem
ry Clay has been devoted to American
interests, and American Industry. In
1912 the American policy was ,rium-
plant over British interests, and we desire
to, aud shall sustain it.
If the above are not reasons sufficient
to induce change in our conduct, or in
that of any man who will canvass these
matters inpartially, we will give more.
Respectfully Yours.

OPINIONS OF THE CANDIDATES.

Our opponents finding themselves RAJ
pidly losing ground in Pennsylvania, have
of late reviewed their course, and come
to the conclusion that their only hope Of
carrying the state for Polk depends sofe-
ly upon the deceptive efforts they can
make TO indtice the people to believe Polk
is in favor of the Tariff of 1912. They
have already commenced their game of
deception. They assert that Clay is OPP
posed TO and that Polk is in favor of it.
So reckless have they been that they have
even challenged the Wings to show
Henry CIay's declaration in favor of the
Protective Tariff of 1912.
To show the opinions Of the two candi-
dates, 1t is necessary to quote only their
language. We DO so below. Two facts
it will be seen. are paipable as the sun at
mid day--lhe fact that James X. Polk
has declared himself in faror of repeal

Clay says he is utterly opposed TO its re.

Responding to the Enquirer

The concilIatory article which we cop
led from the Richmond Enquirer few
days ego, led us not only to believe that
the veteran was repeniing his previous
harsh course towards the President. but
that other Republican Journals in Virginia.
which had not uniformity ill-treated Mr..
Tyler would step forward with alacrity
ard do him justice for his successful ad-
vocacy of Republican principles. by
awarding him the need of praise so just
y merited by him.
But we have been mistaken. The
last Charlottesville Jeffersonian Repub.
lican contains the following response to
the article in the Enquirer.
GOVERNOR TYLER AND HIS
FRIENDS.
Mr.. Tyler's friends in Philadelphia have
determined to run Tyler ticket thro'-
out. We cannot repeat to them and
10 Mr.. Tyler the invitation rendered b.
the Richmond Enquirer to come to us
as brethren and equals 10 the support
of Polk and Dallas" Nine-tenths of the
supporters Of president Tyler, office held
ers excluded, ough; to belong to The Dem.
ocratic party and ough! to vote with it of
course-that portion we shall be happy
to have amongst US, but The balance, in
GLIDING the President himself, we hope
will keep off. We dissent from the opin-
ion that "Mr. Tyler is entitled to our
thanks and gratitude" We think he
showed great want of I" moral frmness"
in his two vetoe of the Bank, for which
he proposed TO substitute something much
worse. He vetoed the distribution bill
indirectly but has never yet repudated
the principle of il, and passing over one
or two other things, for which the En-
quirer gives him credit, and We give him
none, we think his Texas negotiation was
intended for his own benefit alone, and
that he never thought of his county in the
whole transaction. With this opinion
of President TyIer,we always wanted him
to keep away from the Democratic party.
the mass of whom hold him 10 as much
contempt as the Wings do. To be sure.
they do not hate hun as much as the
wings, because he has never violated any
agreements with them to plumber the
country of its rights and its wealth for
the benefit ofihe few. But they have the

THE CURE OF CHRONIC DISEASES.---The
most safe and certain remedy ever known to the
world for various chronic diseases, after they have
reached a state, and assumed character, hitherto
considered desperate and incurable.
Chronic Rheumatism, Scrofula, Kings Evil, at

Of sight, to frghtful extent, have been cured Fe-
males pnng away by reason of deranged secretions,
broken calculations and obstructed menses, (monthy
courses) when attended by spasms or fits have
been readily relieved.
Dyspepsia yields without struggle to its mild yet
powerful action upon the stomach. In Catarrh, or
Cough Rheumatism, and Fistula, it never fails to
cure, as we have fully proved All diseases having
their origin in impure state of the blood and fluids
will be speedily and efectualy removed by this in
valuable medicine.
This tncture tends directly to excite healthy
ton in the stomach liver lungs, and kidneys, to pu-
rify the blood and other fluids by expelling every
particle of morbid matter from the system, and
therefore fails to prove valuable remedy Tor
the diseases which caomel has been invariably used.
Old sores and ulcers, or any chronic affections and
for the calomel disease, it is an intalible remedy
This remedy is perfectly vegetable, mild, agree
able and safe for persons of any age, either SEX or
any condition, acknowledged by those who have tried
it, to be the best known family medicine
The Justly celebrated tincture creates a craving
appetite and the patient is left at liberty to indulge
it. The use of this medicine will change the COM

Using this tincture for six weeks, person of any
