The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1858-10-07


CALLING, that the whole time and means
of the Administration have been, and
will be expended upon this unwise and
wicked project, while the calls Of suffer-
ing industry ascending daily and hourly
have been entirely unheeded by the Ad-
ministration at Washington. Our work
shops are closed, our factories deserted,
our mills silent, and our impoverished
people are pressed by the hard and gri-
ping hand of want. This is but . faint
picture of our condition, and yet the Gov
ernment has neglected, and will sternly
refuse to provide the only true remedy,
that Of protection to lone labor, from . bsssf
desire to conciliate the favor of Southern
demagogueS who wish to repeal all duties
on ports, and to levy the whole of our
enormous expenditures on the lands and
property Of the people by direct tax
The people demand, and long have de-
mandea, Protective Tariff to foster do
mestic industry, and TO encourage Amer
lean labor, but the National Admiuistra-
tion is deaf to their entreaty.
Shall we again endorse the candidates
and approve the policy of an Admins
tratipn SO indifferent to our welfare and
20 reckless aud extrasagant in its di.po-
sition of the public money. This prodi-
gality alone brings down upon the Gov
ernuent the coDdem aaton OF an outraged
people. 1t can scarcely be credited, and
yet the facts are, as proven by themselves,
that they have BY the most criminal
wastefulness expended in the fiscal year
ending 3Oth June, 1858, S92 ,330, 46I
Whilst the revenes indepeDd- 5tt
ent Of loans were only 46,557 500
Making IN actual deficit of $45, ,772, ,ss2
Contrast this with the expenditures of
1852, which were $40, 1855, ,954 Here is
an increase Of expenditure of more than
fifty millions of dollars In time of peace,
during period of widespread CONNER
cial disaster, when rigid economy is i'm
peratively required and all our resources
should be faithfully busbanded.
A sense of honor, of justice, and Of
right requires US to rePudiate this untruss-
worthy Administration, and TO defeat its
candidates, and show by our votes that
we disclaim all part and lot with them.
! We therefore eDtrcat all true lovers Of
their country throughout the Common
wealth to support and vote for the capdi-
dates of tbe People. They are honest,
competent and faithful-they stand upon
the platform of popular rights, and of jut
protection to all. They denounce the Le-
compton lniquity and the infano Gus EDg-
liah Bill, and will resist Executive usur-
patiOns. They will assert the right of the
people to the last to ordain their owuCon-
StitutioD, and the duty of tie Government
To cBoTd 11sH and adequate protection to
home M6~. They will earnestly contend
for policy which shall be stable, and
thereby secure prosperity that will be
safe
| Vote, then, for the candidates of tho
People, place upon the Supreme Bench
Johu VI. Read, a man Of known integrity
and of tried capacity, in whose knowledge
Of the law, and in whose sense of risht
all men may confdc; send to the nationsl
Congress, and to the State Legislature,
men who will truly and ably represent
your real interests. We pray you each
and all, to realize Jour individual res pom
sibiity and tfe importance of every vote.
Arouse to instant aud earnest action
Employ every honest effort. LIT every
man do his whole duty. all will be we'll.
