the outrage against these leg.treasurers
in 1910, and they now require that the
people should make atonement for the
wrong by acknowledging the charge, and
replacing them in power. This is in sub
stance the demand that the Loco Foco
leaders now make on the freemen Of this
Republic. And what are We 10 get in

Second, we are 70 have a revival of the
20 per cent duties of lS40, under which
the Government had to issue treasury
notes, or borrow 13 millions of dollars
year. to enable it topay its expenses, and
under which debt Of two hundred mill
ions of dollars had been contracted. to
purchase Rail Road Iron and foreign
goods that are now made by our own
Citizens in orr own country, and paid tor

we should have Texas annexed to the
Union. by which the foundation will be
laid for eventually securing the ascendan-

would be the policy, is conclusion forced
upon us by the fact, that the leaders Of
the Locofoco party declare their adhesion
to their old principles and their policy
when in power, and deny that they have
undergone any change, aud refuse to a.
vow any other principles than those prac-

The whole matter is then reduced to
single proposition, and presents itself TO
the people as follows:
Do you desire to bring the country back

If you do, the plain and direct way to do
it, is TO give your supper, TO Locofocoism.
