a creGuous man would think, from reading
Green's Infamous pamlhe;, that ii was The aim OF
Mr. Polk and the Democratic party 10 break ur
and DESTROY all American industry. bum the
workshops, and reduce car fields 10 deserts. Mr..
Clay knows, and Willis Gieen knows, that Mir.
Polk and his supporters are more the friends of
American Industry than they arg. There is not
4 man among them who would, il ne could, do the

10 reduce the higher duties 10 uniform rate OF
20 per cent. with declaration that they should
not be imposed for purposes OF projections and Tor
years he adhered 10 that principle, though now
upon the other extreme. Mr.. Polk has never

Of so adjusting the duties as 10 .iYc incidental

declares tina: his orthodoxy in that respect has been
vouched for by Mr. McDuiic, Mir Rhelt, and 9th

their opposition 10 the who'll principle OF pro-

il. They supp II Mr.. Polk, not because lie
concurs with them, bnt because he is less
offensive 10 them than Mr.. Clay, whom, after
he united with them 10 pass lie Compromise

and all free trade icmorratS support MIR. Polk.

the votes OF the States peculiarly in favor OF a

oul them he is lost. Hence no conceivable false
hood is left unu;icred, and there is no hesitation
in committing any forgery TO make the Tariff

persuading them IL abandon their own candl-
