One more aud we haVo done for to-day.
Gen. WIN lfoulke, of Cumberland county, Pa,
WHO for the last twenty years has been one of
Ihe most distinguished leaders and active men
1f the ~locofoco party in that county, has pubs
Iicly renonnCed Polk and Dallas, and declared
bis determination 70 vote for Clay. Even Mr..
newly fledged tariff notions cannot save
hin ii the Key Stone State.
Reasons wty James II. P0M ought n be
President-1st. Because he was presented
a grand jury Of Sewer county, in>bjs own
State, as a nuisance, for neglect Of his Official
luty AZ Governor, aud for conduct derogatory
o the dignity Of the Office, and to the charac.
er of gentleman.
2. Because be has twice put himself before
ne electors Of his State as a candidate for
Governors, CATER having been once tried,) and
been most scandal0usly beaten-.Jor the
anne cause that induced a grand jury of his
.ountry TO present him, not All d mno but
n uncommon nuisance, and a disbonor to the
tation he occupied.
81. Because, ike Gen. Jackson, he is a
efsecuted man, and has had his lose pulled
il a quarrel.
4tb. Because when his nose was soundly
ulled as a reward for progocation given, he
Ieekly pocketed the insult.
