Polk and Dallas, and his determination TO
vote for Clay.
Mr.. Van Buren, was his first choice; but
hat gentleman having been cheated out
fhis nomination by intrigue and manage
nent, and by delegates disobeying the in
of their constituents, Mr.. Shinn
takes the second best-Henry Clay.
We notice this as a sign of the tendency
Of popular feeling in the Northwest part Of
the State--a region deeply interested in
sound system Of protection of domestic in
dustry. We shall not be surprised to see
the great body of the people Of that region
follow the lead of Mr.. Shnn.
THOMAS LORING, ESQ.
The former editor of the North Carolina
Standard, the Locoioco organ of the State,
and one Of the ablpst political writers in
old Rip, has also rcnOunced Locolocoisrn,
and avows his determination to do battle
for "lIary of the Wes.," and oppose Agra
rianism in all its shapes.
COL. STANFORD
OfGeorgia, hithertoa prominent Locofoco
and leader Of that party, was called on
at Clarksvie, recently TO make speech.
He did speak and soon gave his quandan
friends to understand that he was no sup
porter Of Polk, but should go for Henry
Clay. The meeting then tried TO put him
down, but being unable to do so resorted
to the expedjent Of Withdrawing their for
ces. On calling for the Polk men to "come
out" only about third of the meeting
went, and they subsequently returned to
hear the truth as Col. S. plainly laid it
down. The speech produced the happest
effect Col. s., says the Georgia Republi-
can, "ftom his position, from his knowl-
edge of men, from his boldness as a public
speaker, and his personal influence, will
do more for the Wing cause than half a
score Of the boasted converts to Locofoco-
ism."
COL. HUGH LINDSAY,
Of Berks county, Pa, and some five hun
dred others who have heretofore been iden-
tilted with LocofoCoism, have recently
come out from among the foul party and
enrolled themselves under the Banner Of
Clay, Markle and Protective Tariff
| Lindsay and his associates are making
speeches and exposing the corruptions Of
Locotocoism in a mastery manner. Rol
on that ball.
M. M. RANDALL, ESQ.
| Of Marion county, Va, renounces Loco.
focoism in letter through the columns o
the Virginia Pioneer. His letter breathe'
the true spirit, truthful, pointed and expli
cit. The Pioneer says: "In Western Vir
ginia, the nomination is strongly reprobat
ed. Numbers we could name, who woulC
have voted for old Tecumseh, Benton, VaI
Buren, or Cass, will never vote for Polk anC
Dallas, Mr.. Randalps letter thus con
cludes: With the remaining great mea
sures of the Democratic Whig party,
formed sufficient acquaintance, to secur
my most unqualified approval, but it woul'
occupy too much space in your paper, tt
enter into their details or my reasons fo
their support.
If am spared until the Presidential elec
ton, | shall vote for Clay and Frelinghuy
sen, and | rejoice to find that many of my
friends in this county who voted with mt
in 1910, for Mr.. Van Buren, intend pursu
ing the same course"

Club Assoc iation of East Berlin, by eel
tain John Roop, by means, to say the loas
not very honorable, & having since learn
that their candidate for the Presidency

ing said Club, that | cannot support sal,
Polk and oppression of home industry: bu

EDWARD ROSS. ESQ.
OF Cambridge, Nd, concludes a communt
cation to the Chronicle, after this fashion
"While | never wavered in casting NJ
vote for the Locofoco party, | often ho,
doubts as to the correctness Of their policy
but these were always met by the promis
that if l would have patience these thing
would all work out right, and thus KEEP
on until find our currency ruined, de

classes of our people, (of which am one
