and to hazard such consequencesto the
nation. for no better reason, than that these
unprincipled pretenders to democracy,
who were yesterday against. and to day
in favor of instant annexation, have chang
ed their position on The question: We
believe with Col. Benton. that upon The
decision of this question fame xalon-uni
der present circumstances, depends tn
more important matter Of dissolution Of
the Union. The nomination Of Mr.. Polk
| is vauuiingly proclaimed asa triumph OF
Southern Nulh6ers over Norlhern dough
faces, as will be seen by the following
resolutions passed at a large meeting 10
EdgefeId, (Mr Calhoun''s) District: :
RESOLVED, That in James K. Polk we
recognize an able, bold advocate ofimme-
date annexation of Texas, and firm and
consisten. opponent of protective Tariff,
Assumption Of State Debts aud Abolition /;
and that therefore, we cordially approve
of his nomination and pledge ourselves TO
his support
If with such facts before the public, the
Locos of the northern and middle States
follow the example of their dough faced
leaders a; Baltimore and elsewhere, by
voting the advocates Of Modification and
the annexation OF Texas r,there.
by adding half a dozen slave States to
the confederacy they voluntarily surren-
der and vote away the power secured TO
them by the Constitution, and give to
the South a controlling power in Congress,
thereby putting their own necks under he
feet of the slaveholdlrg States n2'
1T is we'll known that we are no abo
litionist: But while we would defend
the rights secured TO the slave holding
States by the compromise agreed on in
the Constitution, we will never permit our
selves 10 be ruled toy slavehoiding pow
er, created and added to the oconledcracy
in violation of our Constitutional rights,
and to subserve The designs of asset OF, an
principled and rotten hearted partizans,
who would sell their country ortheir God
for grab al, The spells of Office, and call
it democracy, And we believe that eve,
ry honest man in the Loco Focu party,
Witnessing as they have, the unprincipled
conduct of their leaders on this question
Of the annexation of Texas, aud The con-
segment subsection of the free States, 10
the domination aud rule of The slave repre-
seniaiinn- of The South will revolt at such
base treachery TO themselves and TO the

of his labor deserves a passing notice.
And thai we may not be misunderstood
we quote the words of the Law asfoIlows !:
".On coarse wool unfria nufactnred, the
value whereof, at the last poft or place
from whence exported to the United
States shall be seven cents or under per
pound, there shall be levied duty Of FIVE
per centum advaiurems: And on all OH
er unmanu featured wool there shall b.
levied a duty ofthree sper pound. and
thirty per centum advalorem. - aos'ii
Here then, we have the law. And
the lowest rates at which our common
American woolb has sold-in market within
the last two wears, is twenty cents per
pound, and the Amarican wool grower.
therefore, has the market secured to him
by an advalorum- duty Of 80 percent, and
specific duty Of 3 cts. per pound-equal
in all to 8 cents per pound on all wool
that costs 20uerits pound, or that COM
ing in competition with wool of our own
production. Or TO make the case more
plain, loo lbs. of American wool is put
in market andbrIngs S20,00.--l00 lbs. of
foreign wool ofltke quality brings but Sl1,
besides the duty, twenty cents per pound
being the lowest price OF any American
wool; and all foreign wool that costs oy-
er seven cents per ID. being subject to a
duty OF nine cents per ID. or forly-fve.per
cent advalorum. Will Judge Kingsley
again venture TO repeat the falsehood that
the protection afforded by the present
Wing Tariff is all 10 favor of his 4" Lords
ofthe loom" and againstih wool grower.
The truth Of the case is here as clear
ly shown as We can find language to ex-
press il; and result is, that the grower
of our coarsest wool, is protected against
foreign competition by duty of9 cents
per h. on the foreign article, duty quite
as ample as any afforded 10 HE manu-
(acturer And it is no less true that the
coarse South American wool, such as
costs but seven cents or under and that
pays bu! five per cent duty does not come
into competition with any wool produced,
or that can be produced in the United
States and this is sufficient reason
why it is so lightly taxed This wool.
under the Law of 1892 and that TO which
the article in the CuIlivators( which Judge
X. falsely pretended to quotc.) alluded,
was admitted free ofduty. We have now
dane with the examination of Judge KS
learned argument against~tt1e "black
Wing Tariff on wool. 1t is one of the
purest tissues of unadulterated falsehood :;
one of The best samples of the Loco Foco
mode of imposing upon such as will sWal-
low down their lies, That we have met
with. Will the Judge give us the bene-
fit of another display of his learning on
the protective policy, or will he wait Till

In TRADE against the black, Wing Ia
riff, delivered before the ratification gath.
ering at Ypsilanti on the 10Th of June,
Judge K. read, what he represented to be
an article from the CuItivator, on the sub
ject of the present duty on aking
care also, to represent the CuItivator as a
Wing paper. We find, however, that
instead of reading from the Cultivator, he
read from that veracIous print, the " Mich
igan Argus, false and garbIed article,
purporting to be taken from the Culliva-
tor, and to be applicable TO the present
Tariff Law. esssa be1..si "Ea3 M
On reference 10 the Cultivator, we fad
an article SO far analogous 10 that read BY
Judge K. as 10 leave no doubt of its be
ing the source and ground work of thai
contained 10, and read from the Argus
But mark the honesty of these teachers
ofthe public-Judge X. and the Argus.
The Wing Tariff act of1s41. was passed
on the 8Oth day Of August of that year.
The Cultivator containing the article in
question. is the July number for 1912, and
must have been published at least one
month before the passage of The act to
which the Argus and Judge X. have told
the public it was intended 10 apply.
If Judge X. was not aware of this
fraud, his ignorance is crime. Il he
was, his attempt to impose upon the pub.
lie, must brand him as deliberate faisi
fer, whose word is not to be believed
He may perch himself on which horn of
the dilemma he chooses. ee
Having disposed Of the Judges authorf-
,y, we might dismiss the matter on stating;
that the article in The Cultivalor, was writ
ten with express reference to the Tariff
act of 1882, and that ia representing it as
the opinion OF a whig paper on the Tariff
act ofl642 he was guilty Of deceptionIand
falsehood. But as Judg e KiDgslsy's OBJ.

has never murdered his man in dnel or

What the Globe said of Polk.-The
real estimate in which Mr. Polk is held
by tho conductors of the Globe, may, per-
haps be better ascertained by what they
said of him before bis nomination. Now
It's doubtless far less sincere. No farther
back than the 17,h of May, the New
York correspondent Of the Globe wrote
as follows:
]" Is there any probability tina; q major.
itv of the convention will unite on Gen.
Cass or Mr. POLK? And ifso is either of
them available !! There is not SO far as |

vor of either of these gentlemen for The
Presidency. Meritorious, and distinguish.

that either will be agreeable to the Con-

OF a declaration in favor of The immediate
anne xation Of Texas Is Texas TO be
the alpha and omega-the first and the
last-the all and every lhing--in The great
struggle for those principles which con-

Another recdntdtion.--We are assured
that the Hon GuIian C Verplanck has a.
vowed his determination not to support
Mr. Clay for the Presidency. Mr. Yer.
planck is known, not less in the field oil
politics. and as leading supporter of
Gen. Harrison, 10 1910, than as a
scholar and author" -.r
The above paragraph from the Albany
Argus, so far as it announces Mr.. Yer
planck's purpose not TO support Mr..
Clay, is true, bat is not the achole truth A.;
and We therefore state for the Information
of the Argus--and if it desires TO let its
readers know the whole truth, thai paper
will doubtless inform them of it--that
MIR Verplanck's avowed motive--expres-
sed TO ourselves and to lolhers----for
opposing Mr.. Clay is, that DIR. CT is in
favor Of The Tariff; Mr.. VerpIanck, there
fore, who is free trade man.. supports
Mr.. Polk as a free trade candidate. % III
The testimony to Mr.. yerplauck's
merit as scholar and author is certainly
just-but oul marvel is that the Argus
should only discover them when brought
TO light by what it somewhat Extensively
calls a "recantation."-M Y. American.
