Americans Hear!

Locofoco Orators in all their speeches give
foreigners the preference over our own native
born citizens. John NJ. Robinson Buchan-
an speaker in our nvighbou,ing county of
Queen AIMS said:
You cannot buy single Irish or Dutch
vote, while can buy three hundred Native
American votes in Queen AIMS county,"
American men, do you hear that? 1t is

Our own American PEG pie are ylliti,d by

Ten Cents II Day!

Reduce our standard of wages to a level
with the wages in European countries, and
you cover our, country with benefits and
blessings, says James Buchanan. The wages
in those European counties average ten cents
a day, or, even less than that. So James
Buchanan would have American working men
paid off with ten cents day. Thc records
Of Congress prove that he did advocate such
reduction of wages. There is no mistake
about the fact, as every man knows W no has
lead the speeches of Mr.. Buchanan. Work
ing men of America while the party of Buch-
anan are running after foreigners, and hold
ing them to be superior to you in these poiti-
cal times, they are but following in the foot
steps of their leader, who has urged that your
wages he reduced to the same az that of the
oppressed laborers of Europe. Look to your
interests! Look to your dignity as men and
as American Citizens.

Maryland are opposed to all sectional par ties
whether they be of The North or of The South.
and are resolved to adhere to the Constitution
and Union by supporting Willard Fillmore
for President, and Andrew jackson DonriSon
for Vice President. Though the whole South
should go for Nj. Buchanan and the foreign

A few days only remain for preparation.

Let every American proceed to deposit his
