The Pennsylvania Swindle, with Additions and
improvements.

We thought, when the Protective Policy had
been broken down by the direct efforts Of Polk and
Dallas, the very men whom Pennsylvania was in
duced to support as reliable for Protection than
Mr. Clay, that the most brazen impotence must for
once shrink abashed at the full exposure OF its men
dacity But no--in the lowest deep there was
lower still The Loco-Focos Of Patsborgh' "a

letter all over Nobody knows better than the
writer that the only hope for revision OF the lar
if rests on the t0rs and not the good Will OF
the powers that be Let Pennsy lvania go heari-

Her Southern masters care nothing for her suIks

questions, and votes an ample supply of Folks and
Walkers into the high places Of the land. Let her
sustain their President aid they will take cnre OF
their Tariff But let her once give them taste OF
her heels instead OF taking the bit again in her
mouth and they will understand that something
must be done--that barney won't answer, and She
must be conciliated This would put entirely
new face on the business
All the time that her own LocO-Foco leaders have
been telling her that the duties on Coal and Iron
shall be increased if she will only dance to the old
tune, their brethren in other States are loudlypro
claiming that nothing of the kind can TAKE place
that the next step must be reduction OF the duties
on Coal and Iron, the repeal of all duties what
ever The leaders see this and understand it-but
they think they can cheat n majority of the People
out Of their votes, and very likely they may. We
shall look on with curiosity and interest.
