DIR. CartWright.-The locofocos
are making n great fuss and tclat, because
DR.. Samuel A. Cartwright has returned 10
his true principles. In lS4l he came out
unsolicited a strong supporter of Clay anil
the tariff of ls42. He then opposed Polk
aud the system of free trade, and now not.
withstanding the same tariff Of '4o has
been annul' ed by hat Of lsI6, Dr.. Cart
wright comes back, to his old principles, he
takes to his arms his opponents of ls44,
although protesting the same opinions
now as then. We have the highest opin-
ion oil DR.. Cartwright as a citizen and a
man, but any person putting himself before
the world as a politician belongs to the
community and his political life is public
property. DR.. c. says II have come back
to the democratic party because the wings
in full view ofthe rocks and breakers in a
temPestuoos political sea, have thrown
o'sFooafu the fahnuFus OF the ship o~tstate,
the great helmsman, Henry Clay, who on
several occasions Of imminent peril, has by
his "tsdom and experience got the old ship
out ofthe breakers" He thus, while ad-
miring Henry Clay, filings to the breeze
all hiS assumed principles of'44 and joins
the opponents of Clay-the supporters of
free trade which he then, so much oppos-
ed. We ask him or democratic papers to
publish his speeches of 1914 on the tariff.

ground on that question the Polk party did
then. and one ofthose speeches by the side
