THE REMEDY.

The Polk policy is radically wrong. The "prin-
cpe established" as the President says, of framing
tariffs for taxation with view to rercnue exclu-
svely, is the root ofdiliculty and danger: because
implies that protection will and must be sacrif-
ced, whenever it comes in collision with revenue.
How can any new and valuable product, either of
the soil or of manufacture, become naturalized in
this country if it cannot be nurtured in its infancy
and protected, until by practical knowledge and
skill we become able 10 meet the foreign article Oh
equal terms? Thus the great manufactures of ir-
on, and cotton, and wool, pere introduced; and
thus it must be with other things. We say there
fore, that the Polk principle is radically wrong
and the remedy should be, an unconditional aban.
donlnent of this wrong principle-a repeal of the
Tariff of lS46-and restoration of the Protective
policy. This is the ground of Mr.. CHAN DLER
but where is Mr.. PECK? He authorized his or

A BROKEN BACK!

The oriental story informs that it the last that
broke the cancels back-TOm Benton.
Well-we know of poor fellow who has borne
burdens heavy enough to break down a whole cara
van. He has borne the slavocracy for years. When
every one of his party in the U. S. Senate, and all
but two in the House, voted to annex Texas to the
Union, he only Strengthened up and braced little
frmer to support the load. When Polk added a
slice ofslave territory two thousand miles long and
some hundreds broad" he was obliged to clap his
hands to his knees and bend over to sustain the
burden. lie carried it, though and would UNI
questionably have lived through the whole job, had
it not been for the folly OF his enemies. The toO
little ridiculous Wing votes, on Wlmots proviso
made lie last ounce that broke the Majors back.

Skipping the Hard Places.

The Major is particularly acute and dlscrlmln-
ating in his account of the Wilmot provso. In
deed fer once in his life he "discriminates for pro-
ecton," up the hub that is to say, TO protect the
Slavocrats in his own party. He was careful to
find the enormous number of tao Wing members
out of fifty from the free states,) who voted against
the amendment; but he didn't see the SEVEN To-
cofocos Ana finally, when he gets to the Senate, he
can readily select John Davis and villainously mis-
represent his speech, and SANDER the fair fame ola

Freemen of the Fourth District.

On the outside of to-day's paper will be found
an examination and review of the policy of the adj
ministration, on SLAVERY and FREE TRADE.
Parts of the article were published in our last but
all was originally designed to be presented in che
shape in which it is now given embracing, at one
view, the leading principles and measures which
characterize the Polk administration. The article
is necessarily long, since it embraces numerous CT
tations, from official and other documents, to proue
the positions taken: but for this very reason it en-
braces mass of facts upon subjects the most i'm
porant TO every freeman Of the North; facts, that
ought now to be well understood and to be laid up
for future use. More than half of the article is
new, embracing a reply TO the Patriot on the WI
mot ProUiSo-and all the parts are put together,
each strengthening the other and all bearing upon
one point, to wit: that the policy of the present
government is to overwhelm the political po,cer of
the free states, by extending the area of Slavery
and to blast their prosperity, by abandoning the
policy of ProtC ction. Such was the design which
has been hastily executed I; and we ask our read
ers to take it all it is, confident that the bare
facts presented will at least more than repay the
time and patience required for the reading.

LABORERS!

A word to the bone and MUSCLE" to the " hard
listed democracy" who do up all the hard work on
the soil and in the mechanics shops. Polk and
Walker tell you that the United States must ex-
port her products 10 foreign markets. What then
follows? Why, just this and nothing else: they
must be sold at foreign pices, and the wages which
you will get must of course ultimately be only for
eign rages-from "A sixpence to a shilling day !
1t is all nonsense to think of high wages to the
Yankees, when the products Of their labor are to
be sold at foreign prices. We must come down to
the British standard when enter the British mar
ket we must come down on all our products II the
manufactured article, the raw MATERIAL and the la
Dor; and between the manufacturers, farmers and
laborers the only strife will be to see whose noses
shall first come to the British grind-stone In the
end you must all be ground down to the paurer
standard Are you ready, boys? Can you stand
it? If so it is, vote for friend of the ndminstra-
ton on Tuesday, to turn the British grind-stone,
at Sc per day.
