that it will not bo debarred from cheerfully giving
its support to the nominee of a National Conven

Mr. Clay is not our choice for the Presidency,
nor do we believe' ho can ever, under any circum.

wise; but-however much we may "agree to disa
gree" about MEN, ifl3ll9Uld never be forgotten
that we all profess to be the advocates of the SAME
PRINEIPLES ; and whilst he labours to carry out
those principles under the flag of Mr. Clay, we
shalllabour equally as zealously for the support

brave'and gallant chief who periled his life• and
poured out his best blood in defence of his country

folds will ere long be gathered the inhabitants of
the lowland and highland, the plain and the valley.

In our last number we copied an able
review of these .questioiii;:and their im
portance in the coining contest. To keep
them fresh in the‘mintilt_of the people, let
us again hastily glance at them. First is
the election, by the nexi.Legislature of a
:UNITED STATES SENATOR. The present .
representative of-Pennsylvania in this high
position, whose place is to be filled, is
'JAMES' BUCHANAN. 'rite very last act of
Mr. Buchanan, if his whole course of op
position to Pennsylvania interests is not
sufficient, should be enough to condemn
him in the eyes of those whose interests
he .. again asks to have entrusted to hint.—

that he is opposed to the dearest princi

tection of our own Industry! ':'his he.
Candidly confesses, ainflie 'night as-.well
have added, what is a fact ;that he is pledg
ed toAllepeal of the Tariff Law: Be
sides this he dares to state in the very face
of stiffering, bleeding and impoverished
Pennsylvania,—struggling with: a forty
million debt around her neelt,—that he is
opposed to her receiving her share ,of the
proceeds of the Public Lands, which would
now. pour into her Treasury three - hundred
thousand dollars annually, and gilie her a I ,
portion equal- to her congressional repre
,sentation of an iinmense'demain of eleven.
hundred million of acres! This large
fund,--which would pay off otirState Debt,
completeour .internal 'improvements, and
secure-for all time the -blessings of educa
tion to generation after generation of our
posterity—he would ..vote to deprive Penn
sylvania Of and give to the National Gov
ernment, in obedience to the wishts •of

Let it also be-remembered at the polls,
that in spit& of the thunder tones of the'

villainous reproach of REPUDIATION!
Is it to be expected that without a reduction
of our immense debt by .the sale of .the
ImprOVements, which instead of, being a
Source of revenue; as they were .- A - ve years
ago, are constant drain upon the Treasut
ry to keep them in operation',—and
Locofocoism persists in , depriving us .of

lic works,' who care nothing , for the hard'
winking farmer and , mechanic, 'and whose
only object is to secure as much plunder as
they can enrich themselves with the mos
ey drawn from yourpockets .
It is.a fact, That the. public debt so far,

Itis a fact, That should the LoCotocos
succeed in obtaining a pajority in both

soon go ott increasing faster and faster every
year—that your taxes will befipubled year

and llie election of a United SMtes Senator.
Those who would see the State relieved
from the burthen of maintaining the public
works, can,onl,y effectually secure the,ac
coinplishneni of their wishes by' electing,
men to the Legislature pledged to go for
their . sale. The Locofocbs are opposed.
to selling the public improvements; and
if they have a majority in the next Legis
lature our tax-payers may rest assured they
will not be sold! .Those Who'have no ile- .
sire to see the Tariff law'reribaled, and the
policy of protection driven from our na
tional councils, will aid in electing men to .
the next Legislature who will , in turn 'elect
a sound Tariff man to the United States

• SCPIt hi very well known that the Whig
party in Congress, encouraged by the con
tinued appeals of their suffering constitu-•
tuentsto leave no means untried for the re
lief of the people, labored unceasing
ly and unwentiedly,and at lastsuccesafully,
in procuring the passage of a law imposing
duties onloreign importations and protect
ing our own American industvy against the
overpowering competition of British pau
per ten-emitata-day labonr. . It is as well
known that through along and arduous ses
sion or Congress, while the Whigs were
striving body and soul to effect the passage
of this law, Locofocoism Was striving
equally as hard to shove the question off,
and by every device of wicked ingenuity
to prevent its being derided by the present.
