the common desire and the common exertions of
the Whig party, to bring about, in the Government

1. A SOUND NATIONAL CURRENCY, regulated by
the will and authority of the nation.
2. AN ADEQUATE nEvENcE, with fair protec
tion to AMERICAN INDUSTRY.
3. JUST RESTRAINTS ON TEE EXECUTIVE Pow-
ER, embracing faHher restrictions on the exercise
of the veto.
4. A faithful administration of the PUBLIC no
MAIN, with AN EQUITABLE nisTitinuTrox of the
proceeds of sales of it among all the states.
•
5. AN HONEST AND ECONOMICAL AOMINrsTnA
TION OS TILE GOVERNMENT, leaving public officers
perfect freedom of thought and of the right of suf

interference in elections.
6. An amendment of the Constitution, limiting
the incumbent of the Presidential office to a SIN

These objects attained. r think that we should

(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.
