'Get out Of the way, Mr., Polk
DEFEAT IN THE FOURTH
DISTRICT.

The Polk flag shakes-two brondsides more and
il will fall This has been the battle ground 5of the
campaign. Dillingham; took the stump and by a
great flourish of rumpets in endeavoring TO Glsten
upon the Wings the Locofoco counterfeit U. S. Bank
Of Pennsyl vania-& the lowest pettifogging, to PLAN
off upon his constituents that Polk and the ocofocos
were friendly to protective Tariff hoped to pull the
rool over the eyes OF the people Of his Dis
:rct once more. Knowing that Polk and his party
committed for immediate annexation and if e.
lected he elected Texas man-in oil Of his
stump speeches he forgot the Lone Star He dare not
proclaim the issue presented by his party, and fear
ful of the wing champions who followed him so close
ly, his party endeavored TO smother the current of
popular feeling by grand mass convention at DAN
vile, in August-with banners, music, and display
oforators names from New Hampshire and New
Yok-and to minister to the appetites of the most
ultra of the party, particularly the moral, religious,
s. decent portion of them, they procured carcature
Of Clay and Frelinghuysen be painted represent
ing the great statesman and patriot Clay with pistol
in one hand and pack Of cards in the other-and
the pure, unsullied and Christian Frenghuysen up
on his knees in the attitude of prayer-which was
borne in the procession from the north, and placed
upon the stand over DlIingham's head, while he
poured forth the basest faseboods and viIest calum-
MES against them. This carcature was taken down
in the fore part of the day.l
But it was all in vain Mr.. Dillingham; has found
that he can't come it. If Paul wishes to gaic the
confidence of the people, advise him in his next
epistle to the people of this District to tell them the
truth; that he is for Polk and Texasfor having ''in
dusry take care ofsef''-against elecng members
of Congress BY single dstrictsand that Polk is the
deadly enemy of protective Tariff And above all,
let him tell the people what he knows be the truth,
that Henry Clay and the Wing party are the fast
friends of Protective Tariff-and if he should again
fail, he will have the consolation of having fought the
battle with clear conscience, and being defeated by
