THE GLOBES NORTHERN POLITICS.
ANOTHER FRAUD.
We exposed, few weeks since, the glaring
system Of fraud practised by the Globe in issuing
Two prospectusses one for the North and one for
the South. In conformity with the Southern
prospectus, the Globe habitually denounces Mr.
Clay as friend of protection, while Mr.. Polk is
lauded to the skies for his free trade The col
umns of that paper daily TEEN with articles in
praise of free trade, not unfrequently taken from
English papers and tracts. So far SO good. We
have no complaint to make with the Globe for
honestly contending for its avowed principles 1t
is the system of duplicty practised by the Globe
that we feel called upon to expose to the con-
tempt of the public. We hare noa before as a
tract, now being published at the Globe office, in
which the attempt is made to represent Mr.. Clay
as hostile to the Tariff, and Mr. Polk as its friend
CARRIED extracts are taken from Mr.. Clay's
speeches and letters, in which, by little strain
ing and distorting, the sentiments of that gentle
man are totally misrepresented. Similar means
are resorted to for the purpose of representing
Mr.. Polk as the friend of the Tariff. His famous
Kane letter, which every body knows is wholly
Inconsistent with the general tenor of his votes
and speeches, is paraded in this tract in staring
capitals. Such is the document sent forth from
the Globe Office to wheede and ensnare the good
people of Pennsylvania to vote against their che
rished principles and policy.
We make an extract from the Globes tract, in
which the Compromise Tariff is compared with
the present Wing Tariff for which nearly every
Wing voted, and against which, nearly every
Locofoco voted. But strange as it may appear,
the Globe tract coverlly attempts to represent
Mr.. Polk as the friend of the existing Tariff, and
Mr.. Clay against it. 1t is by such base frauds
upon the people of Pennsylvania, that the Globe
man expects to obtain the vote Of that State for
the rankest free trader in the country. f....s y
Has the editor of the Globe forgotten that the
citizens of Pi,tsburg addressed letters to Messrs
Clay and Polk, requesting an expression Of their
opinions upon the subject of the tariff of 1912!
And has the editor forgotten that Mr.. Clay imme-
diaely responded that he approved that tariff
while Polk meanly refused to answer? Polk has
been repeatedly called upon for his opinions by
Wings and Locofocos, but not word of answer
has been extracted from him. Craven as he is,
morally and physically, he has not uttered SEN
timeEt, good or bad, during the campaign.
Here is the extract from the Globe tract, adj
dressed ito the people of Pennsylvania" which
attempts, by inuendo, to make out Polk friend
of the present tariff, and Mr.. Clay against it. We
give it as a specimen of the frauds praclised by
the Globe: o.a.H-@ 80. 80
