HON, ANDREW STEWART.
Subject lo tie decision rf a XationaJ Convention
THINGS TO fiE REMEMBERED.
Let k be remembered by every Whig
Toicroftlie county of Somerset, that in
remaining at home on the election day,
he is he'ping to keep the Shunk ami Polk
party in power. A party which has need
lessly plunged the country in a disastrous
and expensive war, that has drained the
treasury of the people and involved the
nation in a heavy debt; and that has spilled
much of the best blood of the country.
Hear in mind that if it had not been for
the truckling of such men as Shunk and
Polk to the slave power, this war never
would have been, its enormous cost would
have been avoided, and the hosts of good
men who have been sacrificed as victims
at the unholy shrine of slavery would
have been still living.
Let it be borne in mind by the good
people of Somerset county, that before
Polk and Shunk were elected to the offi
ces which they now fill, they and their
friends swindled the people of Pennsyl
vania into the belief that the tariffof 1812
would be safe in their hands, remember
that they destroyed, it, and t.iat by re
electing one or both ot thcui, all hope of
its restoration is forever gone. Bear it in
mind that Shunk and Polk and their par
ly are opposed to the protection of Amer
ican industry, opposed to the establish
ment of a home market, that will enable
CTcry farmer to sell his products at a
good price at his own door, and then turn
out tn mast to aid in hurling such men
from power.
Let it be remembered that with Shunk,
a locofoco, as governor, a locofoco canal
tor.rd and a locofoco legislature, our pub
lic works wens ia a great measure unpro
ductive onaceountof bad management,
he sessions of the legislature were ex
tended io a jrreat length and much useless
extravagance resorted to. Remember tojo
that as soon as the Whigs obtained a ma
jority in the legislature and got one Whig
in the canal hoard (he public works yield
ed uear?y,if not Quite, double, what hy
had ever done under locofoco manage
ment, and that the session of the legis
lature was shortened more than l month
thereby saving in this item of expenditure
alone the snug s urn of $20,000 to the
people rf iht State. Let these facts "be
iemembered by the people of Somerset
county, and then hey "will surely tarn
out to a man, and for the sake -of good
gore ram ent,fr the pw rpose of ceprc bating
the conduct of Shunk and Polk in thw
"war, for the sake -of protection to Amer
ican industry, and for the sake of econo
my, j-elrenehnae&t and reform hey will
all vole for the Whig candidates foe Gov
ernor, Canal Commissioner, and the
whole Whig ticket as settled by the coun
ty convention.
CHARACTER OF THE PRESENT
CONTEST,
We had hoped that the present polit
ical contest would have passed over with
out any unpleasant excitetuettt, and for
ourselves endeavored so to shape our
course as to avoid giving personal offence
anywhere. Such, too, we perceive has
teen the course pursued by most of the
Whig presses throughout the State; but
this moderation has not been met in a sim
ilar spirit by the Locofocos. Their pres
ses have been teeming for weeks with the
foulest calumnies against some if not most
of the Whig candidates; private character
has been assailed in the most malignant
manner, and the gall of persecution has
been vomited forth in the greatest profu
sion. In looking over some of the Lo
cofoco sheets the sober mind is naturally
led to inquire how long a willing car will
be given to the foul lips of men whose
published slang is a moral pestilence so
cial joy and hapoiness must decay wher
ever it is allowed to germinate 3nd the
briny tear will be made to course down
many a cheek where smiles and gladness
reigned before. How are the Whigs to
meet such weapons? Certainly not by a !
similar course of conduct. No: conscious j
of the correctness of their principles and
the honesty of their purposes, they will
not suffer themselves to be forced from
their propriety, but will carry on the con
test as becomes men who feel that they
are contending for the right. ' Though
Locofocoism may rant and roar; though
it may speed its poisoned arrows into ma
ny a heart; though it may libel, slander
and calumniate; . the Whigs will pursue
t:.e even tenor of their wjy, trusting in
i.ic justice of their cause and in the intel-.
licence and virtue of the people.
Once more to f be Rescue !
Never before -not even m 1844, did
the Locofocos make such powerful exer
tions as 'they are making, at the present
time. From one extremity of the State
to the other they are evidently straining
every nerve to excite the rank and file in
order to secure a larger turn out to the e
lecttou than they ever had before. Shunk,
and Miller, and Longstreth and numbers
more, are, traversing the eastern part of
the Slate, whilst George M. Dallas, the
v ice President of the United States, ha?
descended from his official chair and made
a tour through the west and there mount
ed the stump in order to rally the party.
And the Locofoco press, always suffi
ciently rampant, as if moved by one com
mon impulse, has become as base and as
scurrilous as even the most highly con
centrated essence of Locofocoism pos
sibly could make it. The drill sergeants,
from those who dwell in palaces to those
whose element is the sewer, are all busy,
everywhere and at all seasons. Thev
seem determined not to leave a path un
trodden or a single stone unmoved. Can
the Whigs see Locofocoism thus exerting
itself, and look on in apathy and without
preparing for the conflict! Will they re
main inactive and allow the Locofocos to
defeat them, when by a little exertion
one of the greatest Whig victories ever
known may be achieved? Whigs! you
have it in your power to rescue Pennsyl
vania from the grasp of Locofocoism,
and the question which you have to de
cide for yourselves is: Will yoc do it?
This question applies to each of you in
dividually, and must be decided by each
individual for himself. We have now
warned you of the eflbrts that are being
made to defeat you, and leave you to act
as you shall think duty demands of you.
We know your response. Though nev
er noisy, you are ever ready to do your
whole duty, and we feel assured that you
will this rear turu ut in vour might and
give Locofocoism the finishing blow.
The Election.
Whigs! are you ready! If not see to it.
Be not caught napping. If ever there was
a time when victory depended entirely
upon your own efforts this is that time.
Every thing is propitious. The people
have become disgusted with bad govern
ment and inefficient and enworthy public
officers This is the time for another
rally and the day is ours. The contest
invites you by its offers of success to your
cherished principles. Cdute then one
and all, unite for a grand charge upon ike
legion of Locofocoism, and they will be
routed horse, fool and dragoon. Charge
upon them in front, rear and flank, armed
at all points with the impregnable mail of
principle and they can -not will stand the
overwhelming assault. Let your war cry
be victory! victory 1
ARE YOU ASSESSED ?
If yoa are not assessed, have it atten
ded to 10 days before the ejection. Whigs
see to it.
For the OeraU.
THE LOCO FOCO LEADERS.
It is a fact well known in this county,
that the loco foco paper callod the Soni
erset Whig" had become o wfarus to the
peopfce, cm accotsHt of their hostility to the
conduct of its managers, that its publica
tion was suspended. A new tack was
then taken, -The Peoples Guard" rose
Phoenix like from the ashes of the
"Whig," and it professed to advocate new
principles, so odious had those of the
small beer" editor become, This new
name did not hide the cloven foot of loco
focoism and the "Guard" too was laid in
the tomb with its parent the Vhig."
After he "Guard" comes the "Visitor,"
and for a while it avoids all the scurilily
and defamation , which was resorted to
by its predecessors, but an election for
Governor approaches, and the old writers
for the nauseous "Whig," whose vanity
is only equalled by their ignorance and
malignity, resume the quill and hurl
their envenomed shafts at men whose pu
rity when contrasted with that of their as
sailants, is so much greater that it defies
comparison. It is useless to stoop to no
tice the contemptible meannesses of the
writer who figures under the editorial
head of the last "Visitor." A friend fur
nished the editor of the Herald with a
statement of facts which he published
two weeks ago that sufficiently refutes
them, and if this be not satisfactory to
the mtinine writer of the article in ques
tion, he ought, if he knows any laic at all,
to know that when charges are made a
gainst men who have a better reputation
than his own for honesty, they must have
stronger evidence to sustain them, than
the mere dictum of one whom the re
cords of the Quarter Sessions show to
have lied in former days, before they will
give them credence.
Serves them right. The Burlington
Gazette says Many farmers in Burling
ton county have nesxlyall their last year's
crops of corn and wheat on hand. Some
who were offered $2,25 for wheat, refus
ed to sell for less than f 2,50, and have
the whole in store. Others who were of
fered $1,25 for corn, held out for $1,50,
and may now hold out till the next Irish
famine, before they can realize such pri-
ces. '
For the Herald,
IiOco Foco Policy -STo; 2.
In my communication of last week I
exhibited to the enemies as well as to the
friends of "Protection and Home Indus
try" some of the ruinous effects of the
Polk and Walker British Tariff of 1846,
in the great increase of of the imports of
certain British manufactures into our
country, to the manifest injury of Amcr
ican capital, American skill and Amer
ican labor. I shall say but a word or
two more upon that branch of Locofoco
policy. The London Economist,
noted British free trade paper, exulting o-
ver the passage of a law so beneficial to
England as the Tarifl of 1846, says that
"to the United States the increase in the
amount of our shipments in the present
year will exceed any thing on record.
1 he editor then enumerates in detail some
of the articles whose exports to this
country have so greatly increased, and
he gives the comparison for six months.
Among them we find a most enormons
increase of calicoes, linens, silks and
woollens. Of plain calicoes the increase
is (14,028,135) nearly 15 millions of
yards, and of prints (16,271,231) over 16
millions ot yards, of linens (2,182,121)
over 2 millions of yards, besides an a
mount entered only by valuation of 34,
456, or over 170,000 worth more than
was imported under the Tariffof 1842.
Of silks the increase is 3G,19I yards, and
of woollen goos the increase in value is
35,927 or nearly 180,000 dollars.
What think you of this, ye farmers, me
chanics and laboriug men of our country?
Do you prefer that your wives and daugh
ters should he clothed in British calicoes,
prints and silks, instead of the superior
fabrics, spun, woven and printed by the
hands and skill of your own fair country
women of Lowell, Providence.&c? If so,
then vote for Shunk and the Tariff of
1846 at the coming election, and in the
fall of 1848 you will be called upon to
vote for Polk or some other heretofore
unknown Locofoco, and absolute free
trade and then for a vastly greater in
crease of British goods, the products of
her half fed and quarter paid mechanics.
But it will be said by the Locos, that
we have paid the British for this in
creased importation of their goods, by our
wheat, corn, flour, &c, which has great
ly benefited the farmers of our country.
Ah! and are you so simple as to believe
it was the Tariffof 1846 that has caused
this great exportation of breadstuff to Eu
rope? No! I answer for you. You know
it is an unmitigated falsehood, 1 was -
bout to say a blajphemous lie. It was
not the Tariff of 1846. Every body
knows it wns occasioned by a visitation
of Providence for some wise purp'osc, re
fusing to the fruits of the earth their nat
ural increase in some of the unfortunate
countries of the Eastern world. And wc
liave received, the locos will say, sonic
20 or 25 jniilions of specie loboot for our
exports. Well we admit that there has
j been a large import of spcric ' into our
country it has however ceased, for prov
idence has blessed them again with an a
bundant harvest, and they no more need
our surplus breadstuff.
Suppose yon then turn round and ask
Locofocoism where is all this specie? J
will answer, it is swallowed up, gone
and lost forever in this miserable war for
islave territory in Mexico. But this is
another branch of Locofoco policy which
requires another rkapter, though volumes
would not contain its disgraceful history.

' IS ARNOLD, M. Gen.
"Wc boldly assert that if ever there was
a party of TORIES and TRAITORS in
this country since the Revolution, it is
composed of the Polk and Santa Anna Lo
cofocos of the present day. JAMES K.
POLK is the BENEDICT ARNOLD of
the nineteenth century. His PASS to
Santa Anna is of a piece with the PASS
granted by Arnold to John Anderson,
(Maj. Andre.) Their names are indis
solubly linked, and it is but fair to pre
sume that those who now stand up for
POLK would have stood up for AR
NOLD had they lived in the days of the
Revolution. Those who support a trai
tor, are little better than traitors them
selves. Who but a tory and traitor would
have PASSED SANTA ANNA INTO
MEXICO, and entered into a dark and
TREASONABLE INTRIGUE with
that blood-thirsty villian to defeat old
Rocou axp Ready, and bathe the soil of
Mexico with the blood of his gallant litdc
army!
Let it be remembered that Francis R.
Shunk is the candidate of the Polk and
Santa Anna party, and approves all the
acts or the National Administration.
Every vote for Shunk is a vote against
our gallant old ROUGH AND READY,
and in favor ol Polk and Santa Anna. -Penn.
