Folk's Tariff Letter to Z. E. Zane.
Much is daily said, and frequent reference made
by the Loco Foco leaders to Mr. Polk's letter to J.
K. Kane, as evidence that Mr. Polk is in favor of
such a Tariff as the people of Pennsylvania desire.
Such assertions and such reference are an insult to
every intelligent man who can understand the En
glish language; and hardly deserve a contratiction,
much lees any effort to expose such shallow attempts
at deception. That letter needs but to be read, to
be understood. Mr. Polk does not pretend he has
ever changed hie views upon the subject, on the
contrary, he shows that he has not. This letter
simply tells the reader where he can find those
opinions as he, Mr. Polk, "has often given them to
the public"— , in his public acts and discussions in
whioh he has participated." To his public acts and
discussions, the reader is referred; and in them he
can find his opinions, far he has not changed them.
It is often useful if not absolutely necessary, to
have the proof at hand. to expose, even a palpable
, absurdity. In order therefore to furnish your rea
ders, a brief, and convenient .compendium of Mr.
Polk's Tariff opinions, I have, compiled some of
his 'acts and discussions"—and havew inserted
them in his letter, that James K. Polk, may thus
tell the people, what James K. Politneans in his
letter to J. It. Kane. His explanaithis are in:ita/-
ics, and are inserted where he refers Yo them. In
this shape it makes it tt - whote latter—and none can
complain, as k is all Mr. iidles own language ex

opposed to the Protective Tariff of 1828,
and voted against voted for the act
of 1852 BECAUSE it REDUCED THE
TARIFF of 1828 to lower rates. That
made SOME REDUCTION but NOT
AS MUCH as I desired."
I sin in favor of a Tariff for revenue,

to the 'treasury to defray the expenses of
the Government economically administer-

and oppressive on its character. lam in
favor of the restoration of the amprom
ise act of 1833." In adjusting the details

tioned such moderate discriminating du-
ties, as would produce the amount aro ,

reasonable incidental protection to our
home industry. lam opposed to a tariff
or protection merely, and not for revenue.
1 voted /or the act of 1832 BECAUSE
it reduced the tariff of 1828 to lower rates.l
I voted for the act of 2d lliarch 1833, (the I
compromise act) which REDUCED the
rates of the act of 1832 to STILL LOW
ER RATES and FINALLY nuovarrr them
down to a point at which no article was
after the 30th June, 1842 to be subject to a
duly higher than 20 PER CENT. This
was the law when theft , hig Congress came
into power. My own opinion is that wool
should be duty free."
Acting upon these general principles,
it is well known that I gave my support to
the policy of Lien. Jackson's administra
tion on this subject. I voted against the
tariff act of 1828. I voted for the act of
1832, which contained modifications of
some of the objectional provisions ol the
act of 1828. As a member of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means of the House
of Representatives, I gave my assent to a
bill reported by that Committee in Deceit'.
ber, 1832, making further modifications of
the act of 1828, and making also discrim
inations in the imposition of the duties
which it proposed. That bill did not pass,
but was superseded by the bill commonly
called the Compromise bill, for which 1
voted.
In my judgment, it is the duty of the
government, to extend, as far as it may be
practicable to do so, by its revenue laws
and all other n:eatis within its power, fair
and just protection to all the great inter
ests of the whole Union, embracing agri.
culture, manufacturers, the mechanic arts,
commerce, and navigation. .• lam op
posed to a tariff for Protection. I haze
at all times oppoed the protective policy.-
lam in favor of a tariff for revenue and
opposed to a tariff for protection. In the
present late] canvass for Governor Iliad
avowed my opposition to the tariff act of
the late Whig Congress as being highly
protective in its character and not design
ed as a revenue measure. I had avowed
my opinion in my public speeches that the
interests of the country and especially oh
the producing and exporting states requir-,
ed its repeal and the restoration of the
l
principles of the Compromise tariff-art of
1833. 1 ant not in Moor ol the tarif-act
stow in force passed by the last Congress,
La 1842.] I heartily approve the resolu.
tions ticion this subject,passed by the Dem
ocratic National Convention, lately as
sembled at Baltunore. .‘ It is the duty
of every branch of the Government to en
sure and practice the most rigid economy
in conducting our public a lairs and that
no more revenue ought to be raised than is
required to defray the necessary expenses
of Government."

AN IMPORTANT DECISION,
The Baltimore Sun says:--.. Every
one in this vicinity recollects the difficul
ties of Mr. Steinbergen, the great cattle
dealer, and the subsequent suits to recov
er money due.—Among other suits, one
was brought by the• United States Bank
against Mr. Andrew Bierne, an endorser
for Mr. Steinbergen, fur some $600,000.
We learn from a gentleman Just from
western Virginia, that the Court of Ap
peals of that State, at a recent session, has
derided the case in favor of Mr. Bierne ;
so that the bank loses that much more of
it 9 supposed available assets."
We copy the . lollowing from a chapter
on Walking, in the N.Y. True Sun :
Would Lhaf same of our belles could be
persuaded that . If stage strut is not digni
fied, nor a pendulum oscillation below

guide than fashion and a natural walk,
believe us, is far more attractiye than "the
forced gait of a shuffling nag."
WHO ARE THE DEmoottATO—Mr. Foote,
of New York, made a speech a few days
since at Millstone, New Jersey, in which
lie thus laid bare the character of modern
Demt.cracy, alias Locolocoisin
And who are these gentlemen who, in
Ihese lattet days, call themselves so loud-
ly " Democrat's," "friends of the people?"
—They are to be known rather by what
they do, than by what they say, for "ac
tions speak louder than words."
We'find them, then—
1. Opposing the people having a safe
and convenient currency.
2. Opposing the people in the several
States having the proceeds of the public
lands to educate their children, and build
railroads and canals to carry their produce
to market.
S. Opposingthe protection and encour•
agement of American labor, and insisting
that articles of necessity, which the peo
ple use daily, shall be taxed the same as
articles of luxury, if they will produce the
same revenue or more.
4. Advancing the annexation of Texas,
which will cost the people $15,000,000
out and out, and put the amount or money
into the pockets or the speculating own
ers of Texian stock.
At the same time that these "gentlemen
are thus opposing the interests of the peo
ple, they ask the people to elect and ap
point then to office, and give them the
whole patronage of the country. With
great respect to these self-styled special
friends of the people, I take the liberty
to say that, in my humble opinion, instead
of being called "Democrats" " friends of
the people," they should he called" Mon.
ucrats," "friends of themselves."
A large big Mass Meeting was held
lately at Carlisle. The Herald assures
us that there were at least EIGHT THOU•
SAND persons in attendance. Ex-Gover
nor RaTHER presided, assisted by several
Vice Presidents; and able addresses were
deliverid by CHARLES GIBBONS, Esq., of
Philadelphia, and JOHN W. BEAN, the
Buckeye Blacksmith. There was one
family of a father and no less than twelve
sons, at the meeting, all of whom are
staunch Clay and Markle men
Another barn !n the county, at the low
er end of third st., was destroyed by fire
on Wednesday morning—also several
stacks of hay. Our country neighbors
are greatly alarmed at these bold and re
peated instances of incentliarism. Twen
ty or thirty barns with their contents
must have been burnt within the last
month. The authorities should take some
especial action upon the subject. We
have heard of an instance in which a
highly respectable farmer, apprehending
the loss of life as well as of property,
absolutely took down and removed his
barn, as it was very near his dwelling
house— and if the gam had been fired,
both buildings would no doubt have been
destroyed. If the authorities will not act
with regard to rewards, the citizens thtm
selves should meet together and raise a
purse. Such vtllany should be ferreted
out, and visited with the severest punm
ishment.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
IMPROVEMENT IN CLocxs.--A new
principle in clock•making we have seen
announced, whereby clocks are made to
run fora year or more without winding
up. They are represented as simple in
construction, easily adjusted and rep's
ted, and may be fitted up in any style re
quired. For banks churches and other
public buildings they will be very desira
ble. One that will run lour years with
out winding up, it is said, is about to be
presented to the nest President, so that
he may be reminded that the time for its
being wound up, is also the period for the
winding upol his arduous duties.--Albany
Adver.
Intemperance, Riot and Murder.
The St. Louis papers give some further
particulars of the murder of Abraham
Smith, who was forcibly taken from the
prison at Fredericktown, Mo., and hung.
It seems that Smith had been convicted
of murder, and was sentenced to be exe
cuted on the Ist of June. The sentence
had been stayed until the Ist of Septem
ber. An attempt was made to execute
him by mob violence on the first of June,
which was resisted by the assembled peo
ple. On the day of the late election a
company of half intoxicated men succeed
ed in breaking open the jail with axes,
crow-bars, 4-c., and hung the prisoner.:-..
The Republican says:
" One of the gang got clown in the cell
where Smith wasin irons, and tied a rope
around his neck.—Those above hauled
Smith up by the rope, dragged him down
the stairs, and about fifty yards from the
jail,and notwithstanding he was apparent
ly dead when they reached the tree, hung
him up, where he remained some minutes.
They then let him down, but one of the
gang suspecting probably life was not
sufficiently extinct, persisted that hey
should again hang him up, which was dine
accordingly—Robert M. Frier, Caron - tr,
issued a process immediately for a jury,
and on Monday night held an inquest °a
the body of Smith, when the jury returned
% verdict that Smith came tolgs death by
the hands of Juices, Sinclair, Ripe, Pol.
