RESOLVED, That ii is still farther proved

the passage of the late bill, which leaves

ponents in this State, who, whatever may
have been the extent of fraud practised
upon them BY their leaders, are neverthe-
less honest in their support of the pro-

TO rebuke this insoence of the South by
voting hereafter for true Tariff men of
the North. Read the extracts, fellow
democrats of the rank and file, and Judge
for yourselves. From the Augusta

The waiIings OF the Pennsylvania De-
mocracy in reference to the passage of
the Tariff, and that too by the cast
inc vote of Mr.. Dallas, iindirectIy)
are loud and deep. Fhey proclaim that
they are victims of base political in
triguc. and vent their wrath in no unqual-
flied terms. But what does all this
prove Nothing more or less than
that the Pennsylvania Democracy, are
distinguished above al others in knaverv
and stupidity. The intelligent portion of
the party have not been dipped or deceiy-
cd-they KNEW that they were engaged
in endeayoring to Perpetrate most gross
fraud upon the people, when they were
persuading them that Mr.. Polk was
better Tariff man than M-. Clay. But
the baseness of the act did not stay their
efiors-they were struggling for the
spoIIs,& with them the means were iusti-
fed By the object gained. How was is with
the people, those who were imposed up
on? do they not stultily themselves by
the admission that they were deceiv-
ed! Most assr:ediy. They were adj
dressed ii primary assemblies by men of
every vocation-they were appealed to
by the press, and the principles Of Mr..
Polk through his whole political life
were portrayed in bold characters-all, all
IN vain. They preferred to become the
willing instruments Of political knaves,
and IN their distress, they complain of
having been deceived and betrayed. well
