WHO ARE THE AGlTAToRs !

The Loco Focos say that it is the Wing policy
to agitate the question of the Tariff Is this true
Let the following facts answer:
Immediately after the passage of the present Tar
lift, the loco foco papers in every section of the
Union raised the cry of its REPEAL The Wash
ington Globe began the attack-the Richmond En-
quirer followed it up-and every loco foco pa
per- to the most remote corner of the country,
echoed the demand " REPEAL"
The Tariff was framed with great care, after the
most mature and anxious deliberation by the Com
mittee to whom twas referred, and it was discuss
ed fully, by friends and foes, in both branches Of
Congress. 1t has operated most benefcially upon
every interest and every branch of businessmen
beyond the most sanguine anticipations Of its
and the party may well be proud of it but they
cannot shut their eyes to the fact that, benefcent
as it is to all classes and parties and occupants, it
is in danger of being repealed. Its only security
now is in Wing Senate; and as our election is to
determine the choice of one, and perhaps two Sem
atcrs, the fate of the Tariff may be decided by the
result Shall the friends of the Tarstand idle then
when a question Of such immense Importance is to
be determined Ought they to keep the subject
which is more than any other to be affected by
the election out of sight during the canvass Are
the enemies of the Tariff privileged to attack and
its friends denied the right to defend il ,! BY no
means.
The prosperity and happiness of thousands, aye,
millions of our cOuhtrymen depend upon the pres
ervaton of this great measure and its friends would
be rccreant to themselves and to their country if
they did not defend it, even though they should be
charged with agitafing it for political effect. The
Wings will continue to defend the Tariffuntil it is
so firmly established that loco foco 50 agisafiOR"
cannot RLPEAL it.-HtrGId
