Something Rnrc.
Candor in Locoioeo print is virtue some and
whenever II u manifested should call forth proper panegy

the Aoooniss "f the moth has the nanncss declare
that tho Democrats court their did quite much the

The Wings are too apt charge the LocoS with Gaming
towards the ianatcs' while the Locos generally quite
Inscriptions IN accusing the Wings OF coaeseng with

In connection with this subject cite the following
passage from the Washington correspondence OF the
Charleston CCURIER:
The cry the OF slavery that has besn
raised by and in Pennsylvania, does appear to be
connected with politics. Some who join in IL are, no
doubt influenced by the destruction IT the
protective Tariff but Pennsylvania has always BEEN
when acting independently o party influences hostile to
the institution of slavery. Tnl she has sometimes gone
with the South questions connected with slavery
owing 20 her party connection with the South But the
serious movement Of Mr. wmoi has reference the
Tariff, to parties. He is flee trade rnan aud voted
for the Tariff, and !. democrat. One OF the abest
papers IN Pennsylvania, neutral and independent paper
(hc Lcdgcs,l leaning democracy and advocate OF
free trade and in favor Of the Of Texas presents
itself the champion of the proposed restriction Of
further extension OF slavery. IL calls emphaucay upon
Pennsylvania To do her duty this question:
Another distinguished free trade paper which advocated
the annexation Of Texas strongly support, the proposition
OF Mr. WIlmot and prociaims individual liberty as the
principle Of the nineteenth century All these are
indications ct the tumui have Congress at the
session. whenever the question OF the acquisition
of Mexican territory shall come up.
