GREEN 'UNS.

I.ocofoco editors and Congressman have
oeen badly fooled by Polk, in several in
stances. These editors and Congressman,
being very strong party men, and DESTROYS
of appearing conspicuous before the coun-
try, upon the passage of certain measures,
write letters and editorials setting forth the
great triumph of the party over the wings,
in passing them, thereby attempting to get
out the impression that they are doing all
the good they can, and the wings are con-
tinually trying to impede their progress.
When the river and harbor bill passed the
House, Bowln wrote to friend at home
saying, THANK God it has triumphed
over the Vaccinations of hypocritical and
false friends and open foes" A few days
after this letter was written, Polk vetoed
the bill ! and the next thing you hear of
Bowin, he will be making a speech in
favor of "our high.minded and patriotic
President"
The New York Evening Post, strong
administration paper, was even worse "dug
up" than Bowln. Upon the passage of the
French Spoliation bill, it let off the follow
ing encomium on the democracy:
1--WE are rejoiced to see the accomplishment
Of this long deferred act OF justice. 1t is for

The "Argus" bears heavily upon it
democratic friends in Pennsylvania--fo
they, of all others, throughout the length

most noise about the repeal of the TART
