THE KANE LETTER

In 1871 Mr.. Folks letter 10 Mr.. Kane of Penn
sylvnnia was universally quoted by the Locoioco
presses Of Vermont, as evidence that Polk was
"more in favor of the Tariff than Henry Clay
ThercuPon arose controversy, the Wings insist
ing that the letter was piece of miserable chca-
merry, intended to cheat the friends of Protection
The mask Is now Withdrawn; the Wing presses of
1914 arc lily sustained, and by the declaration Of
of his friends, James X. Polk stands convicted
of having sought for his election by fraud upon
the people, The following extract from the pro-
cecdings in the Senate, on Thursday last tells the
disgaceful story;
Mr.. Sewer Loco No man who could read but
knew in the Presidential election that Polk was a
free trade man.
Mr.. Jarnngin (Whig) asked Mr. Sewer what con-
sruction he put upon the Kane letter.
Mr. Sewer replied, that Il ,oas a free trade letter.
and that all their pettioning from Pennsylvania
was a mere joke.

relied upon--not one ot or title Of confidence, es-
pecaly, is to be put in the table Of the Patriot
Whoever pins his faith upon the assertion Of the
Patriot, that the Polk Tariff will give "tree times
and oCer as much protection 10 The ,oooLgro,0er"
The Tariff Of lSi2-though 1t is boastiully said to
be proved "by actual demonstration will find
that he has believed false prophet.
AS measure for the protection of jhe WOOL
growers, the Tariff Of 40, honestly erecuied, is inf
nilcly better than the Polk bill. AS it has been
executed by ocofoco administration, we do not
think it materially worse or better than the new
act so far wool is concerned. The difference in
this point is of trfing account to the wool-grower
but in two other points, the difference is world
wide and all important to every wool-grower, TO
every farmer TO every mechanic, and to every mem
uiacturer of Vermont. BY substituting the nd
raIorom system in place of specific protective du-
tics, and by diminishing the protection to domestic
manufactures, the Polk Taiif will prove a heavy
curse to Vermont. 1t is Southern meaS,re--it
comes from the enemies of Vermont, and will
bring forth nothing hut bitter fruits. Vermont
freemen should make against it, and treat the
supporters Of 1t within her Limits as her most dan
gcrous enemies.

HEAR A LOCOFoCO SENATOR.

While the Locofouo presses in Vermont are try
ing to wheede their readers into the support of the
Poko-Britsh Tariff, we publish the following
give this description of Folks Tariff to your Loco
foco neghbors it is true to the letter.
Mr.. Niles addressed the Senate at length in OPP
position to the BILL and defended himself for diff
lering from his brethren in the Senate, by quoting
the words OF Edmund Burke viii support his
Lordshlp's interests, against his Lordships opn-
IONS" lie was for the interests OF his party, against
the opinion Of his party.
Mr.. n. believed the bill would pass, but he be.
lieyed it would pass against the judgment Of the
majority of the Senate, and that 1t had passed the
other House against the judgment of a majority OF
It's members. THE principles Of The bill ,cere bad,
and lis details rere tad. prong altogether,
and toqS calculated 10 infict lasting injury dpon
his constituents, and deStr"y The uaiue Of free labor
MI. n. for incidental protection. 1t might
be a Wing principle, but he had always thought
that the Northern Democracy were in favor OF H.
There discrimination in the bill, except
against protection. 1t was bill Of theories and
distractions, which he held in the utmost contempt
The act Of 1872 had not been complained Of at the
North. 1t was good law. 1t yielded more reve-
nue. than any other had yielded. 1t was framed Tor
good aud wise purposes, and was deservedly sub
Jec OF congratulation for those VINO had framed It,
Mr. N. made an argument against the ad Valu'
rem pri. c,pe, which he SAID the worst kind Of
sliding scue-calling upon the people to pay the
highest duty when they were least able, aud to
pay the lowest duty when they were best able to
pay the highest.
Mr. n. then entered into several of the details Of
the bill, 10 show that it protected downward, and
gave what he called an Irish hoist. lie said it was
an Irish bill altogether. The government seemed
disposed TO try experiment both upon the StomachS
and The backs Of The people, and more especially upon
poor men. Why should Congress, by its leglsa-
ton, attempt to arrest the onward and prosperous
movement Of the country, and attempt to put bar.
rlcr 10 its growth, productions and interests: Mr.
~ said lie was called upon by his party here to
give up both his principles and his interests. He
was asked to aid IN bringing back to first prin-
cip.cs-to make us hewers Of " God and drawers of
waier-to give up all our machinery ana improve
ments and prosperity to Great Britain. This was
the great measure OF the age-but i. was asking
too much and he could not go it. Mr., n. said he
foresaw the shipwrcck tina. awaited his party should
this measure not be arrested. They would sink
and he should 90 down with them-but he would
have one conSolton which their leaders would not,
and that that he had raised his voice and warn
cd them Of their dagger.

C GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE SOUTH


The Washington correspondent of the Charles
ton u.s. C) Patriot heralded the passage of the Polk
Tariff as GLORIOUS triumph Of The South" These
are truthful words, and full of meaning. For years
we have endeavored to press upon our readers the
fact, that the doctrine Of Protection is essentially
anti slavery, and have faithfully warned the so
called Liberty men that when they abandoned the
Wing party, they yielded all to the slavocracy.-
An organ of the Sluvocracy now fully confirms the
justice Of our views, and boldly announces the re-
ducton of the Tariff as glorious triumph of the
South" Aye--t is triumph of the South, over
all the free Saes--of the slave drivers over Nor
thern frccmen-of treacherous Southern Prcsi-
dent and treacherous slavocratic party, over the
rights and interests of seveu.tenls of the people
OF the nation.
But why is this triumph of the South? Let
but this Polk Tariff pass, and you shall see the an
swer in the prosration of Northern capital, enter
p.ze, manufactures, wool-growing and labor 1t is
when the free States are blighled that slavery can
lift its head and boast that the curse of Heaven is
not upon il. 1t is when free labor finds no scope
for It's energies, and meets adequate reward for
the oiling of head and hand-when freeman arc
poverty stricken, destitute and dispirited when all
our institutions languish, and the grass grows in
the very streets of cities that the Slayocrots
can well boast that the slave is happier than the
free laboror of the North! The contrast between
the hitherto thriving free States, and the impover-
i3hed slave States, has been the strongest weapon
against the slave system for it reaches and touch
es the larger class Of Shareholders who would be
forever deaf to all the arguments founded in hui
mainly, morality and religion. Shareholders know
this fact loo well not to hail every successful blow
at the North, a glorious triumph Of The South
Such is the success of the Polk Tariff, "a South
ern triumph--a triumph of slavery. Let the words
ring through the Green Mountains and arouse eve
ry true son Of Vermont against The Northern party
which has basely aided in this "trlnmph Of tht
South" Let these words tingle in the ears Of eve
ry third party man, until he is heartily ashamed o
having left it to the Wings alone TO battle for Free
dom in this great contest.
On this subject, as on that Ct annexation, we Clio
ry in the fact that the Wings Of Vermont stan'
forth with clean hands and pure conscicuces. S
may they ever stand, and let locofocoism by its 81
of commission and third partyism by It's sin of {
mission, share, if they will, in such triumphs
the South" as this

IUClUS B. PECK,

lnnsmuch as the Vermont Patriot has given in its
adhesion to the Polk Tariff, we beg leave respect
fully to inquire whether in this canvass we are to
treat it as the acknowledged organ of Mr.. Peck
Knowing that MI. Dillingham; dare not suppor, this
bill, we are comcwhat anxious to know whether it
will meet the support of Mr. Peck, if he shall be-
come his successor. We make this inquiry with
full respect and in kindly feeling Mr.. p but with
a conviction that the freemen of this District have
right to know his views upon the subject.

MORE FRAUDS OF LoCoFOCotsM.

In our last we announced the election of James

from Maine, in place of Mr.. Evans. For months
bitter contest had been going on in the Locofoco
ranks, in reference to this election, which finally
terminated in dropping the two prominent candi-
dates ard the selection of Mr.. Bradbury: but it
turns out that Mr.. Bradbury was not elected, the
committee 10 count the votes having ejt out nam

PRoGREss OF Free TRADE IN EURorE.-M.
Guizot, in speech before the Chambers of France,
referring to the subject Of Free Trade, hobby
which England has recently bestrodc, says:
awe shall make no sacrifices to England; our
Maxim is, OUR OWN INDUSTRY, OUR OWN TRADE
first and ADORE ALL This must be our rule"
And England's maxim is the same. She has pro-
tected her industry and her trade long that they
have acquired strength enough to compete with
those OF any other nation 50 she is willing TO re-
duce her Tariff. We do not know how much Uni
ted States tobacco would pay under the new Brit
ish tarf-but probably not more than 400 or 500
per cent.--PhH. IT, S. Gaz.

THE OREGON QUESTION.

The Oregon treaty, with part of the correspon-
donce, has at length come to light. 1t seems that
the British minister proposed the treaty; that Polk
sent it to the Senate with declaration that he had
not changed his views at all since the time when
he declared his conviction that our title to the ,ohoie
of Oregon was unquesonable- but STILL he uouid
do just as The Senate advzed! and that the Senate
decided in favor of the treaty. 1t has been ratified
by both Governments, and provides as follows:
ARTICLE |.

treaties and conventions between Great Britain and

While Locofocoism, from Maine to Texas, with
few honorable exceptions, is making a ruthless
war upon the Tariff of ls42-hat Tariff under
which the country has had three as prosperous
years as ii has ever seen,-it is worth while for the
people to remember that this same party came into
power by professions of friendship to the doctrine
of Protection and to the Tariff of 1912 The peo-
pie have been wicke1ly cheated snd betrayed
Witness the following specimens of Locofoco
promises in 1874

That HE WAS PERSONALLY INTIMATE WITH

DIRECT TANATIONl

The course of the administration is precisely
like hat Of man on the verge of bankruptcy.-
When man is observed spending more than his
Income, and is obliged from day to day to borrow of
his neghbors, and to make forced sales of his estate
to raise the wind 1T is pretty readily understood
that he is not in u very furnishing condition. And
just so it is with the Polk administrations it is spcn-
ding far more than the revenue, and in order to
meet the demands upon the Treasury it is asking
for authority TO issue treasury notes. to borrow mon
ey, to push the public lands into the market at
duccd prices, and finally, it is making an attemptto
raise more money by reducing the duties foreign
goods-countlng thus upon largely increased in
ports. The results will be disastrous to the admin
iSration. Indeed, it is by 10 means certain that it
will not be forced either TO confess bankruptcy or
burden the people with DIRECT TAXES We
advice the reader to notice the following, from To-
coiuco authority.
Washington Correspondence of Journal of Commerce.
"The Union expresses the opinion that the Bill
will yield twenty eight millions. 1t is very ex-
ravagant estimate and far exceeds that of the Sec
rotary. Mr. Mckay is probably more nearly cor
rect in his estimate of twenty three and half mil
lions, which he says will be enough. The truth
is, Mr. Mckay admitted, it is matter Of guess
work. 1t must be tested by experiment The re-
result must be that the increasing expenditures of
The Government cannot be met by duties on imports
atone. Some sources of revenue must be
devised. The revenue from lands will, for years,
hardly equal the expense Of their management
