(0 Wo commend the following article to the at tention of all car.did Locofocos in Huntingdon county and elsewhere. Tho Locofoco papers in Pennsylvania, with but a solitary exception, are ex erting all their powers to deceive their readers on the subject of the Tariff—the leading question in volved in the ensuing Piesidential election. The "Carlisle Statesman" alone is a true and faithful exponent of the principles of Polk and the Nation al Locofoco party. The Statesman is one of the most spirited Locofoco printsin the Commonwealth. It displays at its mast-head the names of Polk, Dallas, Shunk, and the whole Locofoco ticket, and battles manfully for the true principles of the party, de termined to "sink or swim, survive or perish" by them. In the following article the Statesman applies the lash to the York Democratic Press," and when lascerated to the bone, to cause it to writhe and smart still more, it pours into it the fiery caustick. Although the 'Press,' one of the most unprinci pled and hypocritical Locofoco papers in the State, deserves this withering castigation, we cannot but sympathise with it, and pour into its wounds the balm of gilead, and hope that it will profit by this scorpion lashing, and learn and show by its future course that honesty is the best policy,' as well in politics us in all things else. From the Carlisle Statesman. THE YORK .. DEMOCRATIC PRESS." THE TARIFF, THE STATESMAN, DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES, The York Press is one of the most men dacious and contemptible papers in Penn• sylvania. Its lies are bold, premeditated, and nefarious. There is no drapery thrown around them to conceal their hid eousness—but they are sent forth naked into the world, as though there was beauty in their features and a virtue in begetting them. If the devil be the father 01 lies, these ill -shapen imps of the Press ale Nor• 'thy of their great progenitor. '!'here can be no reliance on any of its statements.— It perverts, garbles, and misrepresents; and seems to shape its course, by calrula tion, so as most effectually to deceive those who have not the meansof discover ing its falsities. IVe have had occasion, once before, to notice this paper— we do so the second time with reluctance. but with the hope that, if we fail in reforming its morals, we may at least teach it the propriety of transgressing with more cir cumspection. . _ _ In 'the Press of August 23, the States man is charged with "endeavoring to cre ate the impression that Mr. Polk is a free trade man, when, at the same time, the South Carolina papers, (the Charleston M rrcuryamong them,) declare that he is out fin• protection." This charge, so far as it embraces the Statesman, is false.— We have not " endeavoured to create the impression that Mr. Polk is a free trade man ;" but we here distinctly assert now, and we challenge the Press to controvert the fact, that James K. Polk and the National Democracy are opposed to the Tariff of 1842—opposed to a Protective Tariff—and in favor of a Revenue Tariff only high enough to meet the actual ne• cessities of the Government, after exhaus ting the income from the public lands and " other incidental sources." Whether the establishment of a Tariffof thia char acter would, substantially, amount to the adoption of Free Track or not, we shall not pretend to decide. We have stated fairly and advocate openly the creed of the Party and the Party's Candidate as they have proclaimed it, and if blame at taches any. where, it is not to us, who have stated the facts, but to the party and their candidate, who have adopted and avowed the principle. Every assertion We have made in regard to Mr. Polk's views we have substantiated by his own declarations. His letter to Mr. Kane, if we had nothing else to rely upon, would justify every representation made by the Statesman and condemn the opposite course of the Press. With respect to the sentiments of the National Democracy, the declarations of the national organ of the party and the votes in Congress prove them to be coincident with those of Mr. Polk. The Press pretends to advocate the whig tariff of 1842 : it maintains, we believe, in an indirect way that the Dem ocratic Party, is in favor of that tariff, and there-is no danger of its repeal through the election of James K. Polk and a Democrat ic Congress. We, on the contrary, aver that the Party and Mr. Polk are virtually pledged, if successful, to repeal the Tar• ill' of 1842—that they will do it, we have not a doubt—and it they did not they would be false to their principles, and, like the Press, democrats in nothing but the name. But how stand the facts ? Is Col. Polk good authority for his own opin ions ? If he be, then, so far as he is con cerned, the question is easily, settled.— have at all times been opposed to the Protective Policy." "lam in favor of a Tariff for Revenue and opposed to the Tariff for Protection." "I am opposed to the Act of 1842, not regarding it to be a Revenue Tariff, but in many of its pro visions highly protective and oppressive in its character." "I am in favor of the restoration of the Compromise Act of 1833." These are the opinions of Col. Polk, published by himself in 1843, but one year ago, when he was a candidate for Governor in Tennessee. Does he re tract these declarations in his letter to John K. Kane? On the contrary, he most explicitly affirms them. He says to Mr. K.: I have received recently several let ters in reference to my opinion on the subject of the Tariff, and among others yours of the SOth ultimo. My opinions on this subject have been often given to the tpublic. They are to be found in my pub. ic acts, and in the public discussions in which I have participated." Here Gov. Polk expressly endorses and refers to his previous expressions of opinion on the subject of the Tariff.—What those opinions are the extracts which we have given a bove will show. But he refers to the public discussions in which he has been engaged, for his tariff opinions. In April 1843 he hail a public discussion with his competitor Gov. Jones, in Madison county Tennessee, and in his speech there deliv ered, he said : "The difference between the course of the whig party and myself is, that whilst they are the advocates of Distribution and a Protective Tariff= measures which I consider ruinous to the country, and especially to the interests of the [diluting states-1 have steadily and at all times opposed both." Here, then, are Col. Polk's opinions, set forth by him• self, never retracted, and never denied on his authority. It is plain from the opening remarks in his letter to Mr. Kane, that he intended to convey the same opin ions in that letter, and only chose differ ent phraseology to avoid the dullness of repetition. What sentiments, then, we ask the Press, has the statesman attribu ted to Mr. Polk, which lie has not repeat edly and publicly avowed 1 If we have, in any respect, misrepresented him, we stand ready to make reparation : but we dely the Press to point out a single instance in which we have mis-stated the creed of Gov. Polk or the Democratic Party. In reference to the sentiments of the Nation al Democracy, we would respectfully ask the Press whether the Globe is. good au thority? We know that in the late National Convention, representing the Democracy of the whole Union, it was declared to be the Organ of the Party, and measures were taken to increase its circulation.— "Well, the Globe advocates the repeal of the present Tariff; which it calls " the dishonest, fraudulent, and exorbitant Tar iff of Mr. Clay's Congress," and declares its duties on many of the necessaries of life are 100 per cent. above the Revenue standard. From this we may gather some idea of the rates of a Revenue Tariff, and the Press may decide how nearly it would approximate to the free trade stain lard. The New York Plehean is one of the principal organs of the Democracy of that state, and we think the Press some. times quotes from it such articles as suit the meredian of York county. We ask therefore, is the Pletwan good authority? If it be, we commend the following ex tract to the particular attention of the Press. The Plebean says: "The Democratic party throughout the Union are opposed to the Tara There is as much unanimity in the party in op position to the principles and details of the present Tariff, as there is upon any other of the great principles that divide parties; and full as much as there is in the whip party in its favor. 7 his is the posi tion in which this great question is now placed as regards the two great parties.-- But let us look a little further!:— The Democratic party leave nominated a can didate for the Presidency who is the MOST DEADLY ENEMY OF THE PRESENT A RIFF ; while our oppo nents have nominated a man WHO IS PLEDGED TO SUSTAIN Cl'." Now we ask the Press, and we ask every candid and intelligent man who has' been in the habit of reading the Statesman, whether we have ever stated the princi ples of the Party and its Presidential Can didate more plainly, boldly, and perspic uously than is done by the leading organ of Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Polk, and the New York Democracy 7 We assert with perfect confidence that we have not gone one step further than the Globe, the Ple beian, or James K. Polk himself, and yet the Press singles us out from the mass of the democracy, from the scores of demo cratic papers that pursue the same course, and asserts th at we are " doing the feder alists service." It this be true, it must be because the principles of the party are bad, and not because we do not state the truth. If the principles of the party are bad, the Press is dishonest for not oppo sing them—if they be good the Press is acting the part of a hypocrite in pretending to be a democrat and yet denying demo cratic principles. We believe the prin ciples of the party, as expounded by James K. Polk, the National Convention, the Globe arid the Plebian, to be safe and sound principles, and we support them, for their own sake, without calculating whether they will make or lose votes.— The Press, if we understand it,belleves the principles of the party to be unsafe and unsound, and yet, though it repudiates the principles it sticks to the party—and, therefore supports a party without princi. plea ; or, to give it the most favorable turn, it supports a democratic party and w hie; principles. 0 - 11'e word in reference to the South Carolina papers and we are done. Will the editor of the Press favor us with the articles which he attributes to them P We know that the Charleston Mercury sup• ports Mr. Polk in preference to Mr. Clay because, as it declares, " up to the period of his nomination by the Democratic Con vention, he was committed in favor" of the anti-Tariff doctrines of South Caroli na. But what is more to the point, there is now in this neighborhood a gentleman and democrat directly front Tennessee, s man of intelligence and veracity who has heard Mr. Polk on the stump, and who is thoroughly acquainted with his principles, from whom we have the assurance that Mr. Polk is opposed to the 'Farad 1842, and the advocate of southern views on the subject. Of the truth of all these things we are well convinced, or we would not publish than, for above all things we hate and lidespise deception. Our motto is " measures not men." We shall endeav our, as we have heretofore done, to sup port the measures of the party on their own intrinsic merits--but we would not stoop to the meanness of a lie to carry any measure, howevsr good, or any man, how ever illustrious.
