Reflect little, my brother Democrat, be-
fo.e you do this. Return, in imagination,
sixty-fve years in the historyo our coun-
try, before YOU do this. Take frst anoth-
er view of the bloody fields Of the Revolu-
ton, made red for the establishment OF
this same Union. [Cheers.l
You may say that Polk will not break
the chain Of the States. Ireply, is he not
in the control OF the man who created him!
and that man intends its destruction. His
conduct can be accounted for in no other
way. Democrats-Whigs, will you lend a
hand in destroying this last hope Of liberty
on the face of the earth! [Cries OF no, mol
Yet this internal dogma nominated Mr..
Polk. ran Illustration made here was not
distinctly heard.J He is the patron saint
of dissolution. | have often thought that
our honest Democrats, if they were sworn
on the Bible to declare the whole truth,
would say they desire to separate them
selves from this man, and especiallyh his evil
advisers at the South. That they would
take American and not European ground,
giving every man who labors competence,
and this is Wing doctrine. [Cries Of good'
| good!]
Mr.. Democrat, perhaps you wish all this,
/ ! think you do not, yet your leaders tell
YOU that all this Wing theory is only to
! make the manufacturer nabob. You who
work day by day at good trade, what
would become Of you without capital oth-
/ er than your own. What else enables you,
now, as it did Inc, when boy, to get a
good days wages for hard days labor
Oh, say they, see what Adam Smith, the
English writer says about free trade answer
us that. For myself l regard American
facts before English theory, and waving all
discussion point to the market prices Of
goods of all kinds in America since the
tariff of 1912. Every thing is cheaper
Our young sprig Of democracy fresh from
College, full Of latin and political economy
starts up and tells me "this cannot he, itis
impossible" and he blows off an odd col
umn of the old world notions of Adam
Smith and John C. Calhoun. What! a
tarif'of so or 100 per cent. not raise prices!
l say no! they fall, deny it if you dare.
My Latin scholar says, "how is this, how
can it bel" No matter, sir, hotO it is; do
YOU deny the fact! If you do not will
explain-suppose there is but one farmer
in Hamilton county--he has his own prices,
Of course, (unless grain is brought in from
abroad, so long as his farm fails to supply
the market. But another farmer takes up
a section of land along side of him, and
the two furnish produce enough for the
county. The price of (hay) for oats, corn,
&C., falls at once to unreasonable sum, rhlch
shall be fair compensation for the farmers
labor. But if the two cannot raise enough
for the County, another comes in, and a.
mother, till they fill the demand.
But, says the young Democrat, they
must be great fools to beat one another
down in price. That may be, sir, but then
we are all tools, for so it is the world over.
Then he turns to England-'why don't
you go there" says he, "there all these
goods are cheap!" Well, what have you
got to pay! Why our farmers have wheat,
corn, oxen, horses and calves, in abun-
dance. Very well, sir, let us send your
farmer to England with his calf in order
to get himself hat, good cheap hat
Your Democratic farmer lands in Liver
pool with his calf. Perhaps his necessi-
ties are such, and his admiration of Free
Trade and cheap English hats, that he has
gone without one till he can procure it of
his friend John Bull. A man in red coat
sees him standing there, and says to him,
"Who are you!" am free-born Ameri-
can citizen; | want to sell this calf, and get
ME good cheap hat; am told in my Coun
try that you sell cheap, and l like to deal
