reversal of profits that has taken place
during the last TWO years2 We answer
the Tariff of 1912. That monslrous
scheme Of fraud and corruption, fastened
upon the people ofihe United States by "a
Wing Congress, aided by some few pro-
Iessed and mistaken Democrats. No
other cause can be assigned for the pre-
sent depressed condition of American in
duslry."n
And farther on, still speaking Of the Tariff it
continues:
------ at is a violation of every
sound principle in Political Economy
II is destructive to national wealth. II ar
rays one portion OF the people against
another, and one section of the country
against another. The present antiprotcc-
lice Tariff must be abolished, or this
happy Union must be dissolved! We
mean what we say; the one or the other
is inevitable.
Americans! which choose ye9--lhe
permanence of our glorious confederacy
of States, or the continuance of the pre-
sent infamous oppressive TARIFF You
cahnot have both. Choose ye, and
choose wiselyn
Now working men and mechanics, there is
true, genuine ,locoocoism, fresh from the pen OF
Low ID. Siamm, and which no locofoco can
gansay, and in view Of it we ask you, which
choose yc Locofocoism and no Tariff or Disu-
Mon, or, the Wing cause, our happy Union and
a tariff to preserve you from foreign imposition.
Choose yc, and choose wisely
Falschood, Haunting &c.-The Demo
crat week before last made a monstrous
'to do' about statement made by
iReverdy Johnson, Esq, in late speech
in Philadelphia: /. e. that the Cecil De
mocIap had stated that the Hon. John
NJ. Clayton had left the Wing party-that
Mr.. Clayton had told him so as he passed
through New Castle, etc. The Demo-
Gratis reference to the matter reminds us
OF the mountain that labored sc. We
would not have thought it worthy of no.
tee had it not been copied into the loco
loco paper of Delaware.
Now 1t was very easy for that report TO
reach Mr. Clayton in the shape it did.
Every one knows how a rumor gathers
as it spreads The "Democrals of Cecir'
did circulate and give countenance to it,;
what slight change then die it require to
transform it into "that the Cecil Demo-
crat stated it," The lie as first told was
started by locofocos, aad we hav'nt a
doubt but they gave it the latter shape.
One thing is, we think, quite certain; that
paper would have published it, had it OF
known it would have been so quickly ex-
posed. IT to talk about lying! Look you
what it published last week. That Da-
vld Stewart late Harrison eleclor, will
speak at Charlestown to-day. Now in
It's own language we pronounce that to be
a lie. David Stewart never was Harri.
son elector. The lie about Clayton was
locofoco lie if the 'Democra.'' did not
publish 1.-THE lie about Stewart is q To-
coloco lie of the "Democral's" own pub
licalion.
One word in regard to slewart-he was
once wing. AT that time the place of
his residence, the city of Baltimore, was
ruled by the locos by large majority.
Since he left us, it has become thoroughly
wing. The wings then have gained
greatly by his leaving them, and the more
loco speeches he makes in this county the
more we will gain here. So go ahead!
Our duty to our readers, and justice to
The wing party prompts us sometimes to
refer directly to the Cecil Democrat'' al
though the task is revolving and disagree
able. In the last paper we notice the fol-
lowing article.
Sufferers by the failure of the Bank of Mary
lana, d" you wish TO see kevcrdy Johnson in the
Senate of the u. Sta tesi if such be your desire,
vote for Pratt and the coon candidates for the
Legislature"
In the first place, what has Mr. Pratt to
do with the election of u. S. Senator.
The man who says The Governor has any
action in that matter is knave or a fool,
or both.
In the second place Reverdy Johnson
Is not candidate for the U. S. Senate
who for moment would suppose tina, he
would give up his immense practice at this
time Tor mere post of honor.
Now a single word in reference to the
Bank of Maryland affair. 1t is not niece s.
sary for US to become the advocate OF
Mr.. Johnson in the matter. There is
nothing to require it. We can however
