But letnot these political hucksierrrs who
have so long played PyIhia in politics thai
they really believe their own falsrhoods, fiat
ter themselves that even tho most perfect
union Of their Office seeking cliqucs can res
cue the Democracy from trailing in the dust

no interest but in the adoption NJ d snlulary
public policy will no longer submit to bpcOmc
the drudges of office kers. They have
tao often been duped and victnmized in sub
serving the selfish proposes Of these leaders.
The farmer, mechanic. manufacturer and
iaborer want protection in the pursuits of
honest industry Of which they have been
rubbed. Every sensible man Gcts sis the war
for conquest against weak and almost de-
fenceless republic, wased to Keep upsIavery
and the domination Of slave holders in the
councils OF the nation. Nor can they tamely
submit TO have their pockets picked of hun
dred millions Of dollars TO carry on war
whose cruelty, injustice and oppression are
crying to Heaven for vengeance agains, its
authors.
The obvioOs purpose Of these Southern die
tators to make every thin yield TO their sus-
tentation Of their peculiar institution during
the last Congress, has powerfully arrested
The attention of the New Y0rk democracy a.

The Southern section Of The party have OPEN
~ proclaimed that devotion to slavery is the
only test Of Democracy to which they would
adhere. Southern writers have even made a
merit of declaring that the Mexican war is
waged TO extend and perretrate slavery, and
to secure to the South an overshadon ing
supremacy in the Union. Never before
were these selfish projects Of Southern ambi-
ton presented so perfectly raw and bald to
Northern men as since tine accession Of the
present slaveholding dynasty.
Who can doubt that sentiments of Gisrus,
at the sectional policy of the administration |
so destructive to Northern prosperity. swsyed
the honest portion Of the Loco party in Penn
sylvanIa aud other States IN the Union, where
that party has suffered inglorious defeats
Espesiallyin New York that the most deep
rooted aversion at The outrageous misrule Of
the men in power, has seized upon the masses
Of the intelligent Locos, is no way mistaken
bic. They we're eager for action at the last
slectiOn. They have acted nObIy and meeted
out to Polkism that fatal overthrow which its |
iniquit0us schemes SO richly merit at the
hands Of an indignant people.
