Polk, Texas and the Tariff.

Who is James X. Polk? inquiries every one since
the famous locofoco Baltimore nominations II Is
very important for the freemen of Vermont that they
know precisely who the gentleman is, and what are
his political principles, before the next Presidential
election. Mr. Polk is a second rate politician of Ten
nessee; and having never identified himself with any
of the great events oftho country's history is known
10 but very few of those who are called upon to ele-
vnte him to the highest Office in the gift of the peo-
pie lie has twice been beaten in his own state in the
canvass for Governor within four years, n nd will not
receive the vote of that State in the coming contest
Mr. Polk is mn ultra disciple orihe free rnde schools
bitter opponent of the tariff of 1912 his speeches
against the Tariff il is to he hoped will be widely cir
culated by the Wings during the present camplgn,
so that the wool-growers of Vermont may under
stand the gentleman with whom they are called to
deal He is one of the corrupt contrivers Of that
most unprinciped Of all schemes, the Annexation Of
TeKas;' project which strikes every virtuous cili
with horror, and which, If carried into effect will
not only fasten slavery upon forever with all its
bloodstNined denominations, but will involve in
unjust war with peaceful neghbor.
Lei il be remembered that the man who votes
for Polk and Dallas his vote in favor Of extend
ing the domnions of slavery, of pepetuating the in
fuence of the South in the National Councils; votes
for the Annexation orTcxos, and unjust with
Mexico, and most solemnly believe, votes for the
eventual d ssolution OF the Union.
Whoever votes for Polk and Dallas, casts his vote
against the principle of Protection to'American In
dusry; helps overthrow the present sautury Tariff,
s. does all he to destroy the home market for the
farmers produce opens upon again that long train
Of evils, from which we are now happily emerging
Whoever votes FOR Clay and Frelinghuysen, votes
against extending the influence and power OF slavery;
against the annexation Of Texas with her ten millions
debt, and calamitous war with Mexico; votes in ia
Of protecting native industry from the compe-
titon Of foreign capital and labor, and gives his nau
ence practically for the continued Union Of the
States.
The North will never endure Annexation, our
veins and our purses have been bed quite enough to
crafty the prohigae wishes of the ultra Sluveocra
scy OF the south; and with Mexico, the nevto-
bio result of annexation, cannot be got out of with
loss less than hundred millions OF dollars to
the productive industry

OF March court, for The purpose of nominating candi

sny, Justify the suggestion" What those develop
ments are, we know not. One reason, among others
why The meeting should not be at February court is
that it is close at hand that the people could not
ceve information of The meeting in time Though
there are several gentlemen, whose claims are being
canvassed by the people, we do not, for moment,
apprehend division IN the Democratic party OF Ches-
terisd The people go for principles, and not wholly
for men, and when the selection is made, though each
individual spoken Of may have his carm supporters
they WILL in accordance with the Democratic creed,
yield their preference to popular ,cH Just let there
be fair expression of that will and every truc Demo-
crat will give in heartily 10 the nominees support
We ought not cannot and must not be divided The

are better paid than any others belonging IL Co.
vernment | do not propose 10 60 mo minute or

cal business, their income or ;fees amount To $500
or 81 ,00n; and suppose in the large counties 81,
500 or So 1000 Now this fact alone, clearly exhibits
the popriety Of reducing their pay, that it shall
bear some proportion to other officers. Why shoold
they have higher compensation for their than
other officers; Their duties are not onerous per-
picking. An Attorney must attend several Courts
and meet with pretty sgood luck then, to realize
this from his practice, aft-r expendng years
