one. The prosperity of the Country for many
years depends on the answer which shall be gwen
to it. If Of that large majority OF our People
who are heartily favorable 10 the Protection Of
our own Industry, one-iouftn can be- lied INTO the
belief that the preservation OF the Ianii docs mol
depend on the triumph of the Wings, then that
Tariff will be undermined and crushed. This
mas been effected oace already, and Will be agur
if the friends of Protection can De lued into
sleep. If they Can be fooled into making this
great vital, fundamental question: subordinate 10
any mere party considerati0n-if they can be d.
verted into disregard Of II by any OF the trivial
or mock issues which the enemies OF Protection
set up TO distract the public mlnd-th then we may
fear that the Tariff will be crushed again, as II
was by the result of the Election OF 1882. But
we will not, we cannot believe it, 1t seems in
credible that the great Laboring Glass, whose es-
sential independence and comfortable subsistence
so largely depend upon the preservation OF the
Tariff, will suffer themselves 10 he cheated out Of
that Protection, by any mere hummcry about
Federalism Young Hickory or any such con-
temptibe party clsp-trap. II they can be, those
who are thus gulIed will deserve the evils they
bring down on their own heads.
Just look at the glazing facts which stare u
all in the face. Mr. James X. Polk is nominated
for next President-by what influences and ior
what ends Can any man conceive any reason
why Martin Var Buren, should be discarded BY
their common party in favor of Polk but The
clearly avowod reasons that Van Buren, is no
unequivocally, consistently Anti anii and IL
favor of Annexation Who has ever pretended
any other causes than these? Why was it thai
South Carolina would send 10 Delegates to the
late Baltimore Convention while 1t was thought
Van Buren, would be nominated Why did her
Penipotentlarles 20 into that Convention So
readily as soon as Polk had been preferred, anc
pledge their State to support him? What means
\ the immoderate oxidation all over South Caro-
lima on receiving the news that Van Buren, had
been supplanted and Polk nominated Thoy
tell you what it means, in no cquivocal language
1t is Polk is an original, uncquivocal Anti
Tariff as well as Texas man. Look at the Edge
field resolutions, which, after announcing Mr..
Clay as an original and consistent advocate Of
Protection proceed
Rescired, That in Jas n Polk recognize able bold
advocate of the immediate Annex aton OF lesns. and nm
and consistent oDDoneai Of prSe re-, Iry an.
daily OF his nomination. and pledge ourselves 10 s
support.
So it is all over the South. Down with the
Tariff" is there the open war-cry of those who
have defeated Van Buren,, and put up Polk. The
Nashville Union declares that he POLK and all
his friends uie,o the present Tariff ucih abhOr
rencs. So Mr.. Payne of Alabama, Mr.. Henley
OF Indiana, and every supporter of Mr.. Polk in
Congress who has spoken for him, has declared
that his success will be the downfall of the Ia
riff. Hear MIR. Benton state the issue for lo44:

HIS system ,oith him'-do your hear The
defeat of Mr.. Clay is the destruction OF the Tarif
so says COL Benton, who was once Clay man
and then d Tariff man, but is now hostile TO Mr.
Clay and so to Protection. So says Senator Col
quit of Georgia
Most OF the Wing Senators who have discussed this que
tion have open admitted that the ac oi

But why need we multiply quotations Who
does not kno,o that the Tariff is the great ques
ton {? Who ever heard Mr. Polk, or any one for
him, claim tc be in favor of any sort Of Protec-
ton till the last week Who does not know that
he always voted dead against ii while in Congress
and that he stumped over Tennessee last summer
decrying the present Tariff as Wing measure OF
Protection, and declaring himself hostile TO any
Protective duties Hear him state the question
himself:

And now, what shalt we say OF those who
within the last week have begun to declare that
Polk is IN favor of IacideRtli Protection. and that
his election will not entanger the Tariff Are
they not most impudent impostc7s Z Are they not
attempting to carry their point BY the grosscs
deception
Just look at the following resolutions passed b.

disturbing the present Turf lac.
Can fraud be more attrocious or impotence
more brazen than this Ii not every vote these
men obtain by such pyctences won by deliberate
falsehood, for which they are or ought 10 be in
dictable at common law
And this reminds us of the paper from which
VIC cut the above resolutions-the Newark Nora

him on this very subject Of Free Trade and Pro-
