Blind indeed, must be the man who imagnes that
the results OF 1874 will be any less disastrous to
Federalism than those of 1910.

Locofocosm: Henry Brant, Aaron Brant, Jacob
Bellmire. They state that they voted for Van
Buren, in 1910, but that he was defeated by the
ntrigues of the Disunionists of the South, TO
whose dctation they will no longer vie d. They
look upon Henry Clay, as patriot and friend
of the Union, and they are resolved to give him
their hearty support
Three worthy and industrious mechanics of
postory, and renounce their connexion with the
Locofoco party, with which they have heretofore
always acted. Two Of them voted for Van Buren,
in 1910, and the other has voted with the same

The Milan Tribune contains long and well
written letter Of remuneration from three gentle-
men of Lower Sandusky. They state that they
voted for Van Buren, in 1886 and l64O but duty
to their country forbids that they should longer
vote with the party" The following is small
portion of their letter:
We can not vote for James X. Polk, for he is
in favor, not only of annexing Texas to the Union,
with all her slaves, but OF assuming the payment
of her debts. He is opposed to the protection of
American Mechanics against the oppressive labor
systems Of Europe. We are mechanics, and can
not consent to be brought down to the condition
Of the paupers of Europe, who are compelled by
their employers to labor for bare subsistence.
"We believe the good of all classes requires
National and State currency the distribution Of
the proceeds Of the public lands among the scve-
raj States, according to the spirit Of the deeds Of
cession, to be appropriated by the States to pur.
poses Of education, and other Improvements a
tariff for revenue and protection; and an econ
omical and honest administration Of the Govern.
ment These are measures which, until within
the last few years, were admitted by all to be re-
publican measures, and advocated at different
times by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe Jackson, and HENRY CLAY y
We might give many other reasons why we,
as republicans, can not in any way support Mr..
Polk or his party bit this communication has
already become too long, and in conclusion, we
will only say, that we have not only resolved TO
vote for Clay, Frenghuysen, and BARLEY, but to
use all honorable means in our power to promote
the success Of Wing principles. Very respect
fully, yours, P. H. CAvANAGH
