How Loco Focoism meets the issue Ola IN.
Tariff Question.
In the Slu,h, where Protection is supposed to
be unpopular, the present Tariff vchemenily de-
nounced by the entire Loco-foco party and press
as an abonlinablc Whig measure, which the
election of James X. Polk is TO overthrow. Mr..
Clay ia held up as an original, consistent advo-
cate of Protection, (Which is true,) and daily as
sailed as a champion Of cxorbant prohib'i0ry
duties which is not true. Thus the Columbus
(Ga) Times, one OF the ablest OF the clan, beais
al its head Mr. Clay's declarations that Texas
ought not TO be annexed TO the Union "in dc.
cded opposition to the wishes Of a considerable
and respectable portion of the Confederacy," and
that he believes "that reasonable and moderate
Protection, short OF prohibition, IS benehcial to
the consumer" as reasons why Mr.. Clay should
not be chosen President. Following these, II has

This IL the S0ut herR face of Loco Fucoism,

the way The Pie5eian d Co. used to talk year
ago They secuted, derided, hoo,cd at the idea
of Protection. They secuted it as a fraud, ii
gull-,rep, an absurdty, just as their party argued
and voted when the question arose in the last
Wing Congress-" Shall VIC frame Tariff for
Revenue and Protection, or for Revenue solely ?"
Serenty.ons Loco Focos Jan, Sd, 1872 recorded
their votes for Revenue without Protection: only
Fourteen (and all but three of these from Penn
