All the great interests Of Pennsylvania are deep
ly involved in the continuance of a Wing admin
istration both in the State and National Govern
ments. The great issues of Protective Tariff
and Free Trade are again to be contested IN thu
National Councils, and General Taylor and the
friends Of protection in Congress, will require al
the support and encouragement the Whig party
can give, in the summer and fall elections in the
various States, to sustain them in the desperate
battle which must be fought with the enemies o
Home industry, before the country can ever real
ize again the great, advantages of the protective
policy. Pennsylvania is more deeply and vitality
interested in these great issues than any other
State in the Union. protective Tariff has ever
been termed her peculiar interest. But while we
, deny any such cncumscribed limits to the good

effects of a protective policy on the part of the
General Government, We do not wish to conceal
from ourselves, from our citizens, the great and
paramount interest of Pennsylvania in every meas
ure which has tendency to develop the indus
trial resources Of the State, and place her labor
and her capital beyond the reach of competition
from European pauperism in the one, or Europe
an abundance in the other. Let every Farmer
and Miner in Pennsylvania, then, as he values his
own dearest interests, be active and untiring in
his efforts to secure.a triumph of Whig principles
in the approaching autumn elections. True, We
have no members Of Congress or any other Off
GERS to choose, whose election will have direct
influence upon the national legislation, but still
glorious Whig victory in Pennsylvania will con-
vince the country that her Farmers and Miners
were in earnest when they decreed, last Norem-
ber, the ruin Of the corrupt, Locofoco, British
Free Trade dynasty Of James X. Polk, and put
up in its stead the pure, honest, national and A

tonished ears of the puppets of power the bold
and manly declaration, 81 ask no tavors and shrink
from no responsibilities. But, aside from mo-
,ives Of personal interest, the Wings of Pennsyl-
v'ania have duty to perform to the Whig Admin
istrations, both State and National, which by their
glorious efforts in the late contest, they brought
into power. They owe these Administrations
countenance and support in their efforts to put
the State and National Governments again upon
the Republican Whig track Of The earlier Govern
ors and the earlier Presidents. Nm. F. JOHNSTON
and ZACHARY TAYLOR have proved themselves
worthy OF the important trusts confded to their
hands, in the generous confidence of the Wing
party, and it is but just that they should receive
the highest reward Of good and faithful servants,
in the Republican Government, the support and
appreciation of those who elevated them to power.
