within days sailing of land, met by contrary
winds, and lay beating against them for nine or ten

Think oft,

Stranger wha made you leave the drone
houses of Europe and fly to this country !?
That'you might breath the sweet air of liber-
ty, that you might not be compelled to toll
forever, at q childs wages. Is it not true ?
Well then be free. You want plenty of en-
ployment and Why because 10 proportion
as you Increase the demand for labor, you in
crease the price Of labor. Why is it that in
harvest time, a day laborer can get from sew
eoty five cents TO dollar and quarter q
day. and that as soon as the crops ara gar
nered, wages fall to fifty cents day? Be-
carse, in harvest there is a demand for labor
and The Farmer cannct get men at ordinary
prices to labor for him. How are we to cre-
ate study demand for labor in the country !?
Bvcreating competition. And how create
a competition? By starting up manuface
lures? And how viii we start them? By
enacting tariff TO protect the manufacture
and laborer, from the pauper labor OF Europe.
And who is to enact this tariff? The Repub-
leans? But will not the Democrats enact a
tariff? No :? never, or they would have done
SO long ago. Have they. ncs had possession Of
the Government for nearly twenty years,
with but slight interruptions, and did they
ever ia all that time enact single tariff p
No, not one on the contrary they repealed
three. Foreigner, laboring man. you who
are so intimately concevaed in this question
of ofprotection, why will you permit yourselves
to be deceived. You have waited twenty
years on the democratic party to enact you
tariff, why wait longer. As well might
you expect figs from this.les. as to get tar
if from the Democratic p y. If you really
desire a tariff, elect Ar eham Lincoln, Han
i5al Hamlin, Andy { urtin, and Repubii-
can House of Congress and we pledge you
our word and honor,you will soon get tariff
that will protect every department. of labor
and by creating competition, give an abun-
darce Of employment to ell.

Fos.er,s PIatfor M.

As Henry D. Fostes refuses to tell wheth'
er be is for Douglas or Breckinridge for
President. it is necessary, to ascertain, bis
standing, to advert to the position of the Con-
vention which nominated him, and whose
views he endorsed. The Reading Conven-
ton passed the following:
"Resolved. That zoe regard the DONEST-
&c and foreign policy Of President Buchanan
as enunently Patriotic, Pure, conserUaliUe and
Just, and zoe look upon the Success sohich he,
cro,cned his lobors as the best and proudest
oindicasion at the Proprie'y and Wisdom o1
his Administrdtioa."
l. will be remembered that neither. the
Douglas nor the Breckinridge Convention
woald cucumber itself with the odium Of
Buchanan's Administration. Yet Fosters
Convention did eagerly assume that load,
and endorsed all Buchanan 8 vile and foolish
cts-Lecomptonism not excepted
Mr.. Buchanan, then, is the ONLY nan with
whom Fostes stands identified before the Peo-
ple. Foster and his friends sustain the
whole policy OF Buchanan as 'eminently scise
and Just" Then let it be every where pro-
claimed that Foster IS NOT Douglas man
is NOT Breckenridge man-BUT IS BUcHAN-
ANS CANDIDATE! As such, he is entitled
onlv to the votes Of the friends Of Buchanan.

Henry.p. Foster.

We can prove that while Henry D. Foster
was in the employ of representative of the
people of Westmofland county, he was acting
as the agent of corporation in procuring
privileges which granted them the light to
enter on the land of the citizens of this com.
monwealth, take possession of it, and pay
them when and what and how they pleased

THaE CEp9 TRE DE-


We have no desire to misrepresent any
man nor would we willingly permit any one
else to do so, but truth is truth, and when
thing is true no one should hesitate to speak
it. During the whole canvass we have treat
ed Gen. Foster with ali kindn ess and candor,
DOR would we now, in the closing hours Of
this great struggle, go behind truth to mis-
represent him. We have found enough to
tell about Gen. Foster, and there are moro
facts in his life, than would defeat him ten
times over.
The idea that any Ir.shman can vote for
Foster, seems to us preposterous. What
1rishman is there who does not remember,
with a shudder of horror. the distress of
his lovely, but unfortunate country, during
those dark and terrible hours ef suffering
and of woe, when famine filled the land, and
her people, like herds of wild beasts, wan
dered over the soil rending from the ground
and devouring the docks and nettles of the
earth, to sustain life. In that moment of her
distress, one throb of pity went through the
great heart Of America, and her people ri-
sing from Maine to Georgia. gathered food
and raiment from ten thousand stores and
garners, and sent their white-winged ships,
flying over the deep, with succor for starv-
ing and dying people
Where is the Irish heart that does not
swell up with the liveliest emotions cf graft
tude to the American people for their kind
sympathy. Acting in concert with the spir>
it Of beneYolence manifested by her people,
the Government took up the case Of ireland
and Congress movsd to appropriate sum Of
money to purchase provisions for the relief oi
Ireland. ltwas a just and humane measure.
We had plen ty, and to spare. our brethren
were starving for what we did not need
Moved by these considerations and believing
it 10 be, their duty to relieve, as far as possi-
bic, those who are in distress, Relief Bill
was laid before Congress, yet Gen. Henry D.
Foster voted against that human measure :
voted to let ireland starve while he rolled in
luxury: Go to the Record, Irishmen, there
bis vote is recorded-read it over, and then
go to the polls and vote, if you can, for man
who, when you were starving, voted to keep
the food out of your mouth, and let you die,
of all deaths, the most terrible.
Wither the hand and perish the Irish heart
that forgets kindness or ceases to renem-
ber an injury. You cannot, you dare not
vote for a man who would starve you, if you
do, then go and forget that Hotch. Tone
Shiel, McEeven and Curran, were your
countrymen. Forget Erin Gabraugh, forget
nd-forget those dear on es beyond the
waters-forget that you had country, and
forget that you are men. But you will not
do it, you will go TO the polls and vote
against Foster, and teacL him and all others,
by his example. thatthe way to get Irish
votes in America is not to vote to sta, vc
Irishmen in Ireland.
