This is The declaration vi NJ. Holmes, who
took great part in the politics connected with
Mr. Folks nomination, and he speaks the Ian
guage of his State in relation toit.
l remember another thing. In one of his
speeches, Mr. Polk says he is opposed to the duty
on wool and hope all our friends who have, or
can make the opportunity, will tell this fact to
the people of the great county OF Washington
that the triumph of Mr.. Polk and his party is the
triumph OF the anti Tariff policy. So in regard
To the great election in Mane-as soon as the re-
suit of that election was known with certainty,
the leading press of that party declared that It
seals the doom of the Tariff party, and prostrates
Protection IN the dust.
Then in his letter TO Mr.. Kane Mr.. Polk says
that ne is in favor Of incidental Protecton-not
because he desires Protection at all-land those
who argue from that letter that he is in iavc. OF
Protection, do so on very slight groundsJ-but be-
cause he is in favor Of what ne can't help he
acouesces in ii, not because 1t is his desire, bu,
because it is beyond his control.
There are some who say that even If MIR. Polk
be an Anti Tariff man, and should be elected
President of the United States, YET he cannot re-
peal the Tariff or overcome our policy. Strange
doctrine, We choose him that he may not trl.
umph over us after choosing him-we elect him
that he may not destroy the policy he is opposed
to. We choose him 10 prerent his destroying
that uhieh tre think ought to be PRESCRIBED =
Strange argument for sensible men. II we
knew that he would not carry out his policy, OIL
exercise that power which the Office would give
him would that be 4 reason why he should with
hold opposition Not at all not at all There
is the evil of perpetual agi'ation-of perpetual
doubt-of perpetual uncertainty-therc Is the
evil of perpetual opposition 10 the duration OF The
Protective policy. Viii capital be employed tc
nring out the mineral wealth of this great State
If it be doubtful whether thoae SO employing II
will be protected in their enterprise or not : No
once more, most assurcdly no What the coun
try needs lie security and stability-a permanent
settled policy-that enterprising and industrious
men may be enabled to elevate their capital anC
means, and labor with the assurance, with th'
unshaken confidence, that there vii! be no VIC
! lent fluctuations in the state OF the law.
Now. gentlemen, as 4 citizen OF Massachusetts
! | have ne particular interest IN the protection
given to Pennsylvania coal and iron. But we al
have interests in common of the same system
We wlsh for, we can nave, no separate interests
The interests OF the people OF those two grea
Stntes-the interests Of the people of all In
States-are bound up III one bond. But | SO,
if he be elected President Of the United States
with the general concurrence OF the popula
branch OF the Legislature either the Tariff vii
be repealed, or much disturbed as To Gisheartel
lis friends, and make them turn from it with dis
gust Thisi5 g thing Of the deepesl interest.
rests with you of Pennsylvania 10 decide Il. Fo
without the vote of Pennsylvania undertake t
say he cannot be elected President OF the Unite
States. II is ior you TO say. Give me your as
surance that he will not get the vote of Pennsy
vania, and iii give you my assurance that h
will not be elected President of the Uaicd States
ANY man may make the canvess-any man ma
60 over the votes from Maine 10 Missouri, but b
must be convinced thst it Is absolutely certain
that Mr.. Polk cannot be elected without the vot
of The Keystone STATE. And Il is equally Gel
tain that without the vote OF lh:s State he re
mains privately at home. private and respecte
and respectable citizen of Tennessee.

this-that on MS vote and the vote OF his fellow
citizen, his neishboI, or his kinsnan, depends tn

not. And say that any man who attempts t
