Is the Black Republican Party Tariff Party!

in the counties OF Columolai
Schuylkill, Berks and Northumberland, the
Know Nothing orators, great and small, VINO
address the people under the disguise OF
Republicans, assert, with degree OF impu- |
dence and assurance, calculated 10 mislead !
those not investigating the matter, that the |
Republican party is Tariff party.
They assert unblushingly that as the old
Wing party made The doctrine OF protection
a fundamental article in their creed, so the
Republican party are equally the advocates
of the same doctrine. That, they are not
sustained by the facts of the case they well
know; and that from the Republican party
as party, there can be no hope of obtain
ing such Tariff as we Peunsylvanians de-
sire, they also understand There is no
recipe for the making of Plum Pudding with
one Plum. and upon the same genteel and
economical pIitciPle, the Black Republican
party may mLanufactured into Tariff
party TIE ingredients would be about as
follows -
New England, Niger (very black
Western States, Niger (qute black.)
NJ w States, Niger (dabolically black
Northern Penn.
& New York, Niger (big nigger.)
Penn. and New
Jersey, Niger Oittle nigger.)
Central Penn, TARIFF.

The orators Of this party in Columbia
county assert that this conglomeraton is
the special friend of the industrial Interests
of Pennsylvania A few references to
known facts, and common sense view o
their claim 10 this honorable distinction:
may well cause the honest voter TO pause
before deposiling his ballot in favor OF a
party, that not only has not The manliness

10 deceive the people into the belief that
Iooal IN Ito character receives the
united support of their whole party.
No moral question arises in the discus
sion of Tariff. We in Pennsylvania de
sire specific duty on Iron. Why be
cause we conceive il 10 be 10 our interest Il
have such duty-on the same principle
State or a section OF country, who conceiV'
it to be against their interest TO have such I
duty, will oppose it. 1t is question

il will be regarded favorably or untavorabl.

they were never before in so prosperous
