was, that ali the loud takers of the 'Iberty Party
with whom he was acquainted made slaves and tyr
ranizsd over oil under their control. We were moi
prepared to endorse this fully till read the article
alluded to- That is so strongly tnctured with the spir

longer. If this is the spirit that is to prevail none
need go south to become slares-they need but Join
the Liberty Party"
WE'LL RETORTED. The New Hampshire Pat
riot snys: "rhe questions have frequently been ask
ed why il i, that certain politicians OF the North uni
formy take the British side Of every question: Why
is it, tina, such men never exhibit any American feel
ing'"
And horeupon il proceeds, with long disquisition
upon the sins Of the cid federal party and the Hart
ford Convention, all of which must be very edirying
and pala,abIe to James Buchanan, George Bancron
Louis M'Lnno, Henry Hubbard, and hundreds other
old war and Hartford Convention federusts, now the
Cabinet Ministers Of Polk, and tho ecknosv ged
leaders Of the Polk party
The Dover Inquirer pertinen,y inquiries, in reply
TO this n,errogatory, why is that 'lhe Patriot uni
formly takes the British side OF the great question Of
protection to American industry why, like Mr. Nc
Duiie it looks with much more interest upon the
prosperity Of Manchester than il does upon that Of
Boston why it does all in its power 10 break down
and destroy the Tariff, and compel the American
people TO pay tribute to Great Briran?-and why,
finally, it never exhibits any American feeling
which IS worthy Of the name of au American -
The Same Journal adds:
The truth is, and il cannot be hid by all the dust
and clurnor which be raised by shaking the dry
bones Of the Hartford Convention thalihe locofoco
party is the BRIrIsH PARTY Of the presen, day,
and the legitimate descendants in feeling and princ-
pie, Of the Tories Of the Revolution The prospority
Of Great Britain depends mainly upon her nanufac-
lures, and upon her ability to supply the world with
the products Of her nrtizans Cripple her in this re-
sPect and you impair her power. Cut her Off from
the American market, by protective tariff which
will encourage tho industry Of our citizens and
enable them to manufacture for themselves, and at
the same time compete with her in the markets Of the
world and you strike the very roots of her prosper
ity
The Loco Foco party takes sides with Great Brit
ain in this matter so vital to her prosperity Mr. NJ
Dufiie, distinguished leader Of that party, in a re-
cent letter to some British free traders frankly nc
knowedged that
cas- representative of the great exporting nteres,
of these States, habually look upon the prosperity
of Manchester, with much interest and qualification
as ! do upon that of Charleston or New York, and
much more than do upon that Of Boston, which I
am constrained to regard the fruits OF an unjust &
oppressive system of egaizsd plumber, which confs
Gates at least fifth of the annual income of the
cotton planter to sustain mercenary moneyed aris-
toeracy ofpampered and blOated monopoists."
This is taking the" British side of The
a vengeance! This is the "symp athy'' which Eng
land admres and coves; and il the men who mani
fest ii were to visit her she would probably rig them
out with star and garter some other trapping of
royalty Give her but this-rsgard her o,cn prosperi-
ty MUCH MORE than that Of your own country
and you may call her what you please. And the N.
II. Patriot may talk till the crack of doom about the
"Hartford Convention" "blue light federalism
Sc. buchanan, Bancroft ard others consenting) so
long as it opposes protective tariff, and follows the
lead Of McDufe, and other Southern free traders it
stakes the British side," of the only question: Great
Britain a snap about; and "erhibts no Hmeri-
can feeling" that the Duke of Wellington or Sir
Robert Peel would object to il its editors were can
