GET OUT OF THE WAY, you JAMES X. POLK;
u You WONT GO Dows WITH THE TARIFF FOLK!
RENUNclATIoNs BY
wHOLESALE-TWENT
SCREWS LOOSE IN OLD NORTHUM-
BERLAND--aRE THERE no CH.aNGESP ehP
We call the attention OF our readers to
the following manly, dignifed and patriotic
address of Twenty-one gentlemen of the
Borough of Northumberland, formerly iden-
tilted with the Loco Foco party, and sup
porters of the Locofoco candidates in 1910,
now formally renouncing locofocoism a. the
doctrines of Free Trade over their own
proper signatures, and coming out under the
broad banner of CLAY, FRELiNGHuYsEN,
MARKLEE and the TARIFF Of 1912.
A solemn declaration like this, proclaim
ed to the world and cast as it were into the
very teeth Of those leaders who are endeav-
oring to drive their partIZans into the sup
port OF Southern Free Trade, in opposition
10 their own best interests, and those Of their
native State; an open, manly, independent
declaration like this, we say, is sure sign
an unerring indication that ALL their for
mer followers are not to be humbugged az
ter this manner. That there are some Tar
if men, not hitherto Wings, who prefer the
prosperity of the country to the aggrandze-
ment of their reckless and unprincipled
leaders, and who would rather abandon those
principles, which, however bitterly repuda-
ted by the ''patent democracy" Of the pres
ent day, were, and are still, regarded as car
dinat, by the wisest and best men of the
Republic.
NORTHUMBERLAND, July %, 1874.
.. Messrs Editors There appeared, in the
last Democratic CD Onion, letter, dated
from this place, holding up the prospects of
Locofocoisin in the most cheering light, and
at issue, somewhat, with a statement made
by us, and published in your paper two
weeks before. To show that we spoke out
unadvisedy, we transmit the annexed man.
nscript.
= We would assure our Wing brethren,
that the fearless, honest men, who have al !
ready thus openly declared themselves for
their country, are not the only ones that !
will do so. At least as many more, in our
little district, have burst the letters of party, |
and doubt not, before long, they will pro-
claim to their c0untrymen the noble stand
they have taken, in behalf OF Justice and
the Interchangeable truth.
!, , A goodly number Of the subloined names
bad been registered, neieHs soiens, with the
Locofoco Ciub, mentioned in the aforesaid
letter to the Democratic Uaion. These,
with others, obtained in like manner, along
with the names Of the Locofoce travellers
that have been caught by the Committee
10 get Signers," make up the number boast
ed Of in the "Union.'
Make Uay for the free roters of Northun,-
beriaud and Point Clear the track for
the HnterrJfed come cutters of the Forks
=. Here they come NTH Truth for S,oord,
and Conscience for their Bucklar, in tie
: name Of the greatest political Revolution
thdttAis LITTLE heighbOrhOOd has ever nit
messed.
The subscribers, citizens of Northumber-
land borough and Point township, heretofore
acting Nth the LOCO FOCO PARTY,
and as many of US as were old enough, sup
porters of Mr. Van Buren, in 1910, do here
by PUBLICLY RENOUNCE OUR ADJ
HERENCE TO THAT PARTY, and
what we consider its destructive policy
We do this, not through caprice, or the idle
whIm OF moment, but from settled con-
viction, that upon the election Of CLAY and
FRELINGHUYsEN, and the permanent estab-
lishment OF their great leading measure
the PROTECTIVE TARIFF, depend the
welfare and prosperity Of the entire Union,
and most especially of Pennsylvania. And
being convinced, by evidence the most in
contestible, that JAMES K. Polk and the
great mass of his party, are 6erceiy aud Bit
terly opposed to the Tariff of 1912, we here
,
calmly and deliberately formed, to oppose,
with all our might, the aforesaid James X.
Polk, and his party, and to support, with
the zeal of honest intentions, THE ILLUS
TRiObS ADVOCATE OF AMERICAN
lNDUSTRY-HENRY CLAY.
And further believing, that change in
the administration of the State Government
is essential to the well being Of this Com i
and melted by spirit Of graft
tnde towards one, who in the hour of need
and danger, risked his life and pledged his
fortune for his country, we are also resolved
to give our support to THE HONEST FARMER
AND BRAVE OLD soLDIER-GEN. MARK
LEE.
And, to save the leaders of the party we
have abandoned any further trouble on our
account, we would admonish them, that all
efforts to "~hip MS back into the traces ,
must prove utterly vain and fruitless. Or
fathers fought for their country in I776
WE STRIKE FOR OURS IN 1914.
