owe;a debt Of gratitude. They have stood
mistaken and unintimidated, disregarding a.
like the Establishments and denunciations of
those in high places. They, too, will be re-
membered and their memories, years after
they have gone from among the living,will be
dear to every true Pennsylvania. Though
overpowered by numbers they have come gal
lantly out of the struggle.
Tennessee What shall Pennsylvania say
! to her We gave her President to whom
,, she refused her voice she has given us, by
the instructions of her Legislature, the envia-
BILE sableau of a ruined and disgraced Com
monwealth. Well may Pennsylvania exclaim
in the language of the simple Thracian
'There are no gods in heaven"
The American Sentinel, another leading
Democratic paper, says:
THE TARIFF BILL PASSED THE
SENATE PENNSYLVANIA DECEIV-
ED.
The news of the passage of the Tariff Bill,
by the Senate, was received in this city by
Telegraph yesterday afternoon, and caused
the most intense excitement. There was but
one burst of Indignation, that Pennsylvania
had been grossly deceived, and that her best
interests had been Frustrated, too, by the veto
of George Miffiin Dallas,one of her own sons
whom she had fostered and cherished for
years-and who she had right to expect
would stand by her, in the hour of trial
Mr. Dallas has thrown the weight Of his in
fuence into the Southern scale, against his
native State. We are sorry that we have to
record this deed Of deep ingratitude to the
keystone State. If Mr.. Dallas had, by the
remotcst hint, given the people of Pennsylva-
MIA, in the campaign of 1914, to believe that
he would 90 with the South for a Southern
Tariff, he would not have been elected Vice
President.
What makes this act the more offensive, is
the fact, that up to the time of his reaching
the Vice Presidency, to have questioned his
PENNSYLVANIA Tariff feelings would have been
considered a gross insult. But now, since he
has been looking out of Pennsylvania, instead
of keeping his eyes upon her interests, he has
grown needless of her great interests. Nay,
to such distance has he wandered, that the
great mining and iron interests of Pennsylva-
MIA have been wholly Frustrated by his vote.
The people of Pennsylvania should sit down
in sackcloth and ashes, and lament over this
great disaster, inflicted upon them by one of
her heretofore "cherished sons" Should Mr.
Dallas live to the age of Methuseleh, he will
never be able to make ample atonemcnt for
this severe onslaught upon the home industry
of PENNSYLVANIA. Farewell to all Vice Pres
idents, for the future, from Pennsylvania. We
have had enough of one to last us, while all
who live now shall continue to breathe the
breath of existence in our land.
To say that the People of Pennsylvania
have been horribly deceived, on a question of
immense importance to her prosperity, is to
use mild and measured language. Indeed,
such has been the force of the blow, that Mr..
Dallas has given to the prosperity of Pennsyl-
vania, that it will never be forgotten, or over
looked, by the patriotic and intelligent people
of our Commonwealth.
We repeat that we are sorry that Mr.. Dali
las has identified himself so strongly with the
South, that PENNSYLVANIA will never attempt
to break the chains that bind him and the
Free Traders together. Whatever signet
Pennsylvania may have placed upon him it is
now crushed forever.
These are but specimens of the voice of the
democratic presses in old Pennsylvania. of
eighty presses friendly to the administration,
there is only half dozen which do not ut
tcrly condemn the treachery of Polk and Dali
las. Democrats of Vermont: they appeal to
you for sympathy and aid in denouncing and
furnishing the trcachery. You also were de-
,cived by the Kane letter, and the false CLOS
ses and promises of your leaders; you also
are sacrificed to the South by this wretched
bill and why should not you Join your breth-
rem of Pennsylvania, and break the chains of
party which have bound you to the service of
your worst enemies ~ Watchmdn.
