Col Polk ssnnot, viii no., dare rot deny that he
has always opposed the Protective policy tihs has
been MS boasi.l He has never ceased 10 Genounce
the Tariff OF 1912 in terms unmeasured; and YET ne
observes u rIost DiGSIFfED SILENCE, permitting
ruth 10 be crushed earn, and alsehood raisedi
It's stead. and 81! that political advantage may
ensue 10 himself.
repeat nOw what have frequently written, spo-
KEN and published, sEd which has never beeI d,-
ned by Col Polk or any OF MS friends in this STATE,
that Gel. Polk al ell umss, during both OF ny can
vases with him, opposed. denounced and condemp'
I'd the principle OF Projection. and during the last
campaign, roe Tariff OF 1852 received his most m
Iualihrd condemnation. To thIs statement pledge
nv reputation as Sisn OF honor, and chalierge

pared 10 for him, believing tha; he 10 any oIhe

that would reach every city, Town aud hamieI in
Pennsy irania. ii should be raised 10 warn every
freeman Of Tie impending danger, and invoke MN
10 spurn and despise with feeman's spirit tie base
attempts that are made 10 seduce him from MS bde-
nv 10 his principles. and lead him into The support
oi man whose principles are at war with The best
interests of the country. cannot doubt that The
Intelligence Of your c,izeDs will enable them 10 de-
,ect this fraud : and, when detected know their
virtue and integrity will az once put the broad seal
OF condemnation OH ii and It's authors.
One word US 20 Tennessee; she is firm, fixed and
immoveble the political tempest may b;ow-the
rains of falsehooO descend--the foods Of caiumny
and detracIion may gather around her; unrnoved
and unbiased she will stand firmly by her pIiDci-
nles and cast her vote for HENRY CLAY. She
s resolved 10 make one salan, effort 10 dspe
the gloom that gathers around cur hopes-one more
Effort 10 arrest the impending ruin that threatens
our common country. Where will Pennsylvania,
the keystone of The Arch, be in this great and glo
nous work This is the question that Wings OF
Pennsylvania must answer If she asd our sister
States will come 10 the rescue, and stand by the
.ide OF Tennessee in this glorious enterprise, we
shall vet sec the proud and gallant old Snip OF Stale
brought back TO her ancient moorings, end peace
and prosperity permanently restored 10 long op-
pressed and much injured people
