Law OF the land.
From the debates upon this bill, as well as from
other IN the South may possibly be IN
fruec, tn Al the Debocrsue party had ssend, IN the
Language OF Mr. Webster, from its original course
This however Was not The case Many OF our lead
ing Democrats, II 10 uus, as well Ia Congress- as on
the hastings IN South Carolina, did ret their faces
against the peculiar shape OF the duties levied ia this
BILL and for the good reason that the said peculiar
shape Of the iesies, bad Transferred the measure
from a Democratic, into a Federal engine. But
We deny, as We have ever denied, that this arose
from any opposition TO tarh, or from any desire 10
abandon It's offspring by The Democratic party. Ga
the contrary, contend, as we have ever commended,
that IL arose from honest conviction that that par
ticular tariff shaped was, would be sub,eIsiye OF
our general manufacturing Interests. In 1883, we
we're confirmed in this impressioa, by the universal
regret expressed by the Democratic party at the
Abandonment of nearly the whole system by Mr. Clay
who was, by the by, through his influence and couo-
ellis the father OF at least It's defo mites
l The abandonment here referred to, II is needless to
add contributed lis full share To the desolang pres
sure which immesiaIeiy followed, and the decayng
man utactoTies Of our country learned, ought TO
have learned that the blight which had fallen upon
them was caused solely by effort Of Whggeiy 10
pervert regular, permanent Democratic policy, TO
the worst purposes OF desperate and chagrined mr.
norty.
| Thanks to its original fathers, however, we now
have a revival Of the arf of 1924 with such add,-
1
AMI the eIigenci's OF the public treasury. This was
carried through Congress, proved BY Mr. Webster,
mainly by Democratic influence, it was signed by a
Democrats President, and must continue II 1t con-
tnue at all, under the fostering care of those who
repre- sent the entire Democracy Of the country. We
take th" ground for a which needs but to be
stated to be obvious to all.
| The present Congress have already refused to in-
terfere with this measure. Enough ha, transpired
already to demonstrate that the next Congress will
pursue the same course and to suppo,e that the
succeeding one will depart from the precedent would
| be false In conclusion we'll as in premises The
President, whoever he may be, viii therefore be a
passive agent as lar as relates TO repeal or modi-
cation but nevertheless, there is point and very
Vulnerable one, at which the secret enemies of ms
tariff can g. IN their assaults Ii Wbiggery should
tr 4mph, and the Texan frontier long enough, as was
said OF that oil Canada, to divide Europe la halves,
be lelt as a gap Tor the admission Of British SNUG
gers, this snJ every other tariff will be efiecu lily
annulled as If repealed by law, and the consequences
infinitely more detrimental, as it would be but little
more than handing over all our great interests 10
the tender merces OF The British Parliament. And
to expect protection from such q source, every Dem
ocrat knows, would be like expecting the right hand
OF selhshness TO forget its cunning. On the other
hand, If the Democracy continue IN power, this. as
well as all other kindred interests, will be fort fed
and protected, by simply permitting the eagles wing
to throw shadow over brethren 10 that gallant
little STAR This view Of the case, being, from us pc
| cuar nature, liable to escape notice, we commend
1t 10 your especial consideration and request you,
as far as IN you lies to combat the efforts Of Wing
gerry to keep in the dark Nor will this be the
| ony light in which the of the Democracy
will essentially all the tariff The vetoes Of Presi
dents Jackson and Tyler, or rather adherence
TO the doctrines which they incuicate, will, by re
strcting the issues of bank paper, and confning it
within The bounds Of a heathiul and legitimate sup
ply, prevent that plethora of spurious pital which
| has her ofo del no
of foreign Pauper labor, spite Of the provisions of
the most salutary legislation.
We have now merely TO remark on tins head, that
what we have SAID Of the Democratic party, applies
IN all it, bearings TO estlmabe candidate for the
Presidency, James n. Polk every vote, and every
act of his public life in this connection have been
dictated by settled desire, first to sustain the tarih
policy, and then to balance the duties to afford
the greatest advantage 10 the greatest number. On
the ether hand, all that we have said touching the
partial irregular, and evies in the lsriH OF
1925, and the hnal abandonment OF both its virtues
and its faults IN 1888, apples in all its bearings, to
the csndidats OF bggery, Henry Clay or wh CHI
the same thing, t. The peculiar influence wht,h his
peculiar position Of Secretary Of State enabled him
TO exercise. And further all that we have said
touching the Federal object, in sustaining United
States Bank, bears with peculiar force upon Mr..
Clay; while all that have said Of Its des ructi n,
bears with equal force upon Mr. Polk, be having
done h' full share In consgnng II TO depth Of IN
fanny, from which even the clemency OF Wbiggep
dare not promise II reprieye. Suffice II 10 soy,
MI Clay Is svowedy in favor Of Bank and also
OF tariff for the projection Of some particular iaier-
ests Agriculture, according TO hs Raleigh speech,
being an especial exception while MIR Polk, IS
avowedIy opposed IL Bank and, T. use his own
language, Is IN favor OF a arif sfording fair and
Just protection TO all the great Interests OF the whole
Union, embracing Agricul ure, Manufactures, the
Mechanic Arts, Commerce and Navigation"
So much as to the principles which we are called
upon To consider as the ground of several duties
IN voting for President and Vice Presideni, FRI
day next We have nov only 10 aid few rems ks
in reference to he claims Of nominees IN per-
sonal point Of view.
| Mr. Polk was born in North Carolina is the great
nephew Of Col. Thomas Polk, the prime advocate
and signer Of the Declaration Of Anne lean ndepen-
dence, which took place at Charlotte North Carolina
at least year before II was done IN Philadelphia by
the representatives Of all the States. He Descend
ed ~ The maternal line from the family OF General
hnoNi OF the revolutionary memory whose name he
bears. lie was long spesser Of The House Of Krpre
sentstves; IS both studied and practical statesman
posses es eminent abilities, and Gen. Jackson says
made OF the right stuff
As TO George NJ. Dallas, our candidate for the
| Vice Presidency, we need say but little TO you. He
- whue-hrsded IN the euce OF the Dem ocrstc par.
ty, and full-hesded every where lie acknow edge,
no ars,ocraey, scarcely that Of intellect but leave,
Philadelphia TO say, whether he is not, in this lstiei
particular, more difident than just 10 bimscIf He
IS ready 10 serve Us now as be has ever been and
We consider tnst should we engage him in conjuno
ton with James Polk, to preside over the dest
nies OF the nation, there will be but lltio OF nonor
lot either the servants or the served
Repair, then, we beseech you, TO The pole on F,i-
day neat, wet or dry, cold hot, and whsn there
vote-vole Let not the intoxcsiion OF recent
glorious victory beirsy you into the enemies tolls bu
rs'hrr let re- assure you IN the righteousness OF
