Euormous and startling as is this amuuat
of debt, there " is yet another item still
more appalling. " The ' lives of at feust
twenly thousand men have been sacri
ficed upon he altar of this unnatural
War! A War for all the consequences
of which the People will hold James K.
Polk and the Loco foe o party responsible.
How is this immense debt of oxe hun
dred AND SIXTY-SETEX MILLIONS to be
paid! This is a question of vital ira-
portance to the People of Pennsylvania.
li is contemplated by tne leaders ot trie i
Polk and Shunk party to raise means for
that purpose by DIRECT TAXATION
UPON THE PEOPLE! Farmers . of
Pennsylvania laud holders are you
willing to be taxed in this frightful sum in
support of Mr. Polk and his War! Re
flect well upon this matter, and decide ac
cording to the dictates of your own con
sciences. You have the power, and if
by your votes you retain the present ru
lers in office, you will be doing much to
wards bringing this overwhelming tax up
on your farms and your lands. If you
want the tax, vote for Francis II. Shunk,
the Polk candidate for Governor, and you
vote to bring it upon yourselves. It is
certain that. the Polk and Shunk party
will, if they ca'nj levy u direct tax upon
Ihe People to meet the' War expenses.-
Prominent Polk advocates have proclaim
ed this to be the object of the Adminis
j tfatiori, and the Washington Unioii boHI-
ly advocates DIRECT TAXATION.
Every vote given to Francis R. Shunk,
is a vote in favor of a direct tax to pay
the expenses of the War. Penn. Int.
Sale of the Public Works,
The public plunderers, who have fas
tened the enormous debt, of FORTY
MILLIONS upon the back of Pennsyl
vania, and lived for years upon the pub
lic treasury, would raise a hue and cry
against the Whigs because thev are in fa
vor of the sale of the public improvements
at a high- price, and a repeal of STATE
TAXES. These Treasury vampyres
would represent - that the Whigs of the
last Legislature were
in favoj of
selling
the main line for eight, millions! No
thing could b6 further from the truth.
No invention of the father of . falsehoods
was more false. .The. bill "which .was
be fore the Legislature proves this. Its
provisions were, that the mam line snould
be sold - for twenty , millions, provided a
company would take them, at that price,
aud when one half was paid they could
take control of the works, the revenue
from them to be paid to the Common
wealth which was to hold the works and
not transfer them to the company until the
whole price was paid.
Such were briefly the provisions of the
bill, guarded in every - way so as to pro
tect the interest of the State, which the j
Treasury plunderers would induce the
Taxpayers to believe was intended to dis- j
pose of the public works for eight mil-
lions! This salutary measure was de- I
feated by the most extraordinary and con
tumacious acts of the Ixcofoco members
who refused to vote, and used every
means to defeat the passage of the bill,
and 'its being presented to Gorernor
Shunk for approval or veto. The high
handed proceedings of the friends of Gov
ernor Shunk on that question were never
before witnessed in a Pennsylvania Legis
lature, and will forever remain a blot up
on her history. , -
But -what are the facts with regard to
the'sale of the public work. But a short j
lime since, the popular feeling was so o- j
verwhelming in favor of the measure, that
a Locofoco Le-rislature. to stave it off and

Port, Jr.
During the campaign of 1844, both
names in rennsvivanta were untinn? in
their advocacy of the doctrine oCprotec-
tion to American manufactures and home
labor. The friends of IIcNttY Clav
urged his claims to the confidence of the
! people of Pennsylvania on this around.
and the friends of Mr. Polk, were no less
urgent in , insisting that he was a better 11011 .uu.wrun, i ne j.oco
friend of the tariff than Mr. Clay. Mr. ' foco advocates of this stale of things glory
Polks letters on the subject were paraded
before the people, and especially his let
ter to .Mr. Kaue relied upon, as condu
cive evidence of his soundness on that
subject. All parties then denounced as a
traitor to 'the best interests of Pennsyl
vania, him who dared, to contend that the
tariff of 1842 would cot be safe in the
hands of Mr. Polk..
-Among the most zealous advocates of
that uriff then, was the Editor of the
"Democratic Union." He was highly
indignant that the Whigs should even
suggest, that Mr. Polk was unfriendly to
protection, and in favor of free-trade. He
stated to the world, through the columns
of that -paper,' that Mr. Polk held "the
doctrine of free-trade in unqualified ab-
j 1844, his Indignation bursts out towards
norrence. in mat paper oi June a.
the Harrisburg Intelligeucer, in the fol
lowing strain:
COL. POLK AND THE TARIFF A
VILE WHIG FALSEHOOD.
We perceive that the ; Harrisburg In
telligencer, with the mendacity so emi
nently characteristic of the coon papers,
denounces Col. Polk in advance of an 'o
pen Free Trade theorist. The author
ity for this gratuitous assertion is not
furnished by the Inteiligencer, as it is the
policy of Whig papers to deal in habitual
misrepresentation both of the men and
measures of the Democratic party. jVorc
WE HAPPEN TO KNOW and state
upon the authority of a Texxesseean
with whom we conversed at Bultimore
a near neighbor of Col. Polk-that he
holds the doctrine of Free Trade in un
qualified abhorrence.- He has never ad
vocated it, and never will. He is in fa-
vor of a judicious revenue Tariff, afford-
mg iir ji.u i A.r,.3 j inciacniai ruu

He is THE ESPECIAL FRIEND

Permanence in our laws to be of incal

I DISTURBANCE OF THE PRESENT
! TARIFF f!)
! These FACTS we state upon the best
authority and caution
of the Stale against li
of the Democracy
enmir to the mis-
representations of the coons."
After having thus relieved himself of
nis personal knowledge, we nave every
reason to believe, that he felt better for a
while, solacing himself -complacently, in
the fraud he had thus perpetrated.
Tut what a change has come o'er the
spirit of his dream ! !
Ijocofocoism, true to its own interests,
acknowledges a tie well told as good as
the truth,1 and shamelessly retracts all it
then urged, and now denounces protection
to American labor, and the tarifi of 1842
as an abomination. Yes, this same edi
tor, in the same paper, pours out his
weekly accumulation of gVd upon the
Whig party, who show up his utter and
reckless inconsistency,
They continue stedfast in the advocary
of the Whig doctrine of protection to the
laboring poor; while the locofoco party,
, juuh-ijui., uiA
jfalselood to another, led by unscrupulous
editors, to sustain themselves, believing
that the people, have no reckoning to
make with their betrayers. ' The people
wilFsettle this matter at the polls. Open

falsehood and secret i

On ths 2d Tuesday of October, those
Locofoco editors who have heretofore de
ceived tha people, and have the effrontery
to own it, as the Locofoco editors in this

was that it would go down still lower.
This must convince the Farmers, and all

from the repeal of the American TaritTof

I Besides this, the pernicious coneauen-

in the downfall and distreS3 of their coun

millions imported, the product of foreign
countries! the consequence of which will
be a total drainage of the precious metals,
a prostration of our banks, and a general
stagnation and depression, -which will
throw the earnings of the enterprizin
man into the hands of the rich and grasp
ing. Is there any American feeling in
such politicians! .Are they . fit to control
our policy or rule our destinies! If such
policy is to govern us, what shall we bc--come

that Mr. Patton, although he had years of
practical experience upon ihe public
works, and is known to be a most efficient
business man, is not fit to be Canal Com
missioner because HE IS POOR; and
that you must therefore rote for his op
ponent, a wealthy, retired city merchant,
who lives in splendor on his income, and
without the least eflort on his part! Such
hypocrisy and attempt to destroy a poor
and deserving man. should not sro unex
posed and unrewarded by those who re
spect modest merit, or regard energy and
integrity that remains firm amidst tha
trial of misfortune. Pa. Tel,
Travelling Eaissariei .
j The country is filled with travelling
t Locofoco emissaries, electioneering for
Shunk, and driving the refractory into his
support. The hand of the National Ad
ministration is in the movement. It is
from the Treasury of the Nation that
money comes which pays and support
these political missionaries. Polk, Dal
las and Buchanan are alarmed at the pros
pect of the defeat of Shunk, and are using
all the influence, power and patronrge of
the Government to save him. We caution,
the people, therefore, to be on the alert,
and not allow office-holders atWrashington
to rule them. Every man should feel it
his duty to devote a few days t ensuring
the success of Gen. Irvia and the prin -cip'es
of the -Whig party ihe most im
portant of which, is PROTECTION TO
OUR. OWN INDUSTRY against th
monopolists of Great Britain, and the pau
per labor of Europe. Is there any Amer
ican who loves the welfare of his country
so Utile that he will not devote a few day
to save it fro oi wreck and ruin! We
trust not. Let them awake then to their
duty, do it promptly as men who are de
termined not to be trodden down by thosa
who obtained power by a vile fraud, and
boast of the swindle and cheat! Pcca.
