had been astounded, deceived and delrauded.
They had been all this. Some had said they
had no sympathy with these men. He had |
sympathy for them, sincere and ardent. These |
men were honest and had been cheated. The |
letter from MIR. Polk had deceived these men,
whether so intended or not, and yet they had
been told i'm the columns of the official organ
that "no man OF sense was deceived, "that
they knew Mr.. Polk would carry out his meas
ures. That at least was stultiiying Demo
cratic Pennsylvania--who believed what MIR.
Polk had said.
The question was afterwards ably argued
upon its merits--in its effects upon the linan-
ces OF the country and upon the labor of the
country. The moral effect OF making war
upon the great interests of the country was
traced out with great power
The startling condition OF the poor in other
countries was powerfully painted, as warn
| ing for the Government not TO do that which
other Governments had done. What was To
become of the eight or nine hundred thousand
men and women engaged in our manufactures
What oil the three or Jour hundred thousand
men dependent upon them.
Some pertinent remarks were also address
sed 10 the South and Southern men, in refer
ence to the duties on foreign shipping Why
not bring Tree trade into operation, or reduce
it TO the revenue Standard Who would vote
TO open the coasting trade TO all the vessels
oil Europe. And why notl If il was uncon-
lstitutonal 10 impose any restrictions upon
foreign trade why should we protect commerce
and not manufactures? Had not Pennsylya
. MIA the same right 10 bc protected as any COM
mercial town or business? The only reason
that could BE- given was that it was not so
provided for in the Resolutions of the Bdltl-
more Convention.
