yoala 4. Aliens second Manifesto.

SSaxtk As 49, - 1850
This famous individual has been giving his Quon-
dam friends ofthe Locofoc0 party in Wayne coun-
ty in general, and Old S5ask in particular, an
other 'hatcheiliag,' as he calls 1t. Alter giving
round to those who have abused hinl for his for
mer Manifesto, and severe hit at the present
editors of the Honesdale Herald, which he used to
publish, he exults that he finds many OF his oio
Loco friends ready and eager TO 60 IN Tor Gen
TAYLOR, Whig or no Wing, for the Presidency,
notwithstanding the attempts made 10Y the ultra
leaders at Washington and elsewhere TO din his
renown and dsparage his services by open and
implied censures, &c. But the latter part ei thFs
manifesto is the richest, as follows:
But, the strangest, most ridiculous, and sturdy
piece eff dupcity, fraud and deception, is the late
attempt of Francis Il. Skunk and his friends,
claiming after the demonstrations at Washington,
and by the Locofoco Press generally, towards
Gen Taylor, political affinity, unity OF sentiment
&C., with the old Whig Hero of Buens Vista i
Skunk and his friends probably feel as though
they wan! to get hold ofsomething that never goes
10 the bottom in their present drowning condition.!
else WHY do they seize hold OF Old Zack "a
known Whig-a Clay Wing, they say Skunk
& Taylor" quotha That's The good cry IS it,
for this campaign, that Is to save Old Skunk th.s
time See proceedings of Skunk meeting at Bed
ford, Pa.-got up by Shunk's Adj. General Bow
man Skunk & Tayor!' bah that won't 60
down in these parts: you might as well cry Tav-
lor and Cabbage Head here to get votes for Old
Skunk Let the people beware how they are gafi-
moned by the cry of Skunk & Taylor. Skunk
and his whole faction are heart and soul enemies
of Gen. Taylor : they are bound by the strongest
of all tles--community OF plunder!--to this Admin
istration and dare not offend it by coming out for
Gen TAYLOR for the Presidency this year or next
year: they know too well which SIDE theif bread IS
buttered on for that they may, and Will probably,
by permssion,' for this campaign only, couple
Old Skunk with Gen. Taylor, to make the former
90 in Pa, the same as they coupled Polk with a
Protective Tariff-aye, with the Tariff OF 1912 =
to make him 90 in Pa. in 1914. But they can
come it this time they have got to stand Oh their
own bottom, or 60 down.
By the way it may not be improper to ask here,
what has become of the giant locofocos who car
ried Old Skunk through the deep aoatefs OF 1914
and safely seated him where he is Where are
the Porters. the Camerons, the Eldreds, the Lew
ISIS &c. &C., tha, Old Skunk and his friends thus
begin to call in the aid of a popular Wing Gener-
al to bear him through this time ! Will not say
that all or either Of the above named gentlemen,
who secured the nomination and election OF Old
Skunk in 1914, are against him now, but he eVi.

a corrupt Administration, more corrupt than ever
in second term, from tearleseness of rebuke and
visitation from the people from the Ballot Box

against our constitution. In addition to some
reasons of private nature given in my last add
some of more importance. Skunk is dishonest

counsels of his Administration, and thus with the
aid of Jesse Miller has divided, broken up, anc
almost disbanded the great, once firmly unlteC
party that carried him into office in 1874, and
for one think it no more than even handed justice
to give him and Jesse touch of prescription pro
