A VOICE FROM CLARION.
We commend to the attention of honest dem
ocrats in Huntingdon County, who were decei
ved by the hypocritical leaders of locofocoisni
respecting the protective policy, the following
card from leading democrats of Clarion county,
which we find in the last Clarion Register:
TO THE PUBLIC
We, the undersigned, being heretofore sup
porters of the "Democratic party," and now
refusing to support the nominees of the Balti
more Convention, hereby venture to give a few I .
of our reasons for so doing.
We are the consistent supporters of the Pro
tective policy, and have battled for that •policy
before the Tariflof '42 was passed—which Tar
iff we have looked upon as the best that has ever
been adopted by the American Government.
We found both political parties taking an active
course in the consumation of that object. We
found the Democratic Legislature of Pennsylva
nia, at two successive sessions, instructing our
members in Congress and in the IT. S. Senate
to go against any alteration in said Tariff, and in
favor of the protective policy; and in '4l we
found nearly all the Democratic papers of the
North, (et least of Pennsylvania,) supporting
the Tariff of 'l2. We had it on all our ban
ners, and we had the assurances of those who
ought to know the sentiments of our then con
stitutes for President and Vice President, that
si,,y were in favor of the Protective policy. In
fact there was but one isoint in dispute, and that
who was the best friend of she Tariff of
Both parties claimed thehonor. We then
of course, concluded it was the doctrine of the
party; awl Mr. Polk's Inaugural Address slmw-
Cd us as we thought, that the Protective policy
would not be disturbed. But the course of the
Administration in a short time proved to us that
a ditihrent course was about to be taken. Mr.
in his Messages thereafter, showed his .
hostility to all protection, and told us that the
industry of this country did not need Protection
led what Protectionthere was inhis Free Trade
I . :iviff of '46, wal not intendedfor that purpose, •
.rola tine South would be content. Then
- • !•onnil the Democratic papers of Pennsylva
change their course on the Tariff question and
.-ep. lig over to the Free Trade Tariff of '4f—in
going the full length fur the Free Trade
diey. And to cap the• climax, the Baltimore
, :onvention, where the principles of the party
should be known, and where they were known.
passed resolutions in favor of Free Trade, and
Gin. Cass, as the candidate of the party, endor
ses these resolutions, and tells us if elected he
willearry them out to the best of his abilities.
Now, to turn Mend support any man for Presi
dent, when both himself and the party that nomi
nate" him are pledged to oppose what weeonsider
to be our interest, as well as the interest of
others, would be contrary to our convictions of
duty as good citizens; neither do we consider
we act inconsistent by supporting the measures
in '4B that we were all for in '4l. However,
we will leave that to the public to judge, and as
we see numbers around us who atund in the
same situation, we have no doubt of the result
of their diseission. If the doctrine of Free
Trade in its broadest principles, as now pro
mulgated by the Democratic party, :should suc
ceed, and Mr. Cass lie elected, it then heroines
the settled policy of the country, and there can
he no appeal, at least for tour years to corn,
If Mr. Cass is now elected on these principles,
we look upon it as all end to the Protective pol
icy, to which we cannot consent at this time.
11 e look upon it in this way that what was
Democratic doctrine in 'd•l should be the same
in '4B—and therefore, we will support the nom
inees of the Philadelphia Convention, hollering
that the men and the party who composed that
Convention are the most favorable to the Pro
' t active policy t we think they have'shown them
selves so in the last three years at least.
We therefore intend to give our support to the
nominees of that Convention. We view the
matter now as a party question, supported no
where or by no party but by the Whig party

"A LITTLE MORE GRAPE."
The following document has been handed us
for publication. We lay it before our readers
with pleasure, in refutation of various false
statements circulated by the friends of Cass and
Butler, and the British Tariff of ND; :
TO THE PUBLIC.
It having been reported that all the volunteers
attached to company 8., Captain Nagle, of the
first Regiment of Pennsylvania, were opposed
to the election of Gen. Zachary Taylor for
President—We ' the undersigned, members of
said Company, do declare said report tobe false,
sad we will give Gen. Taylor our united aim
undivided support for said ounce. He is a man
that never surrenders, nor will we.

We also pledge seven members of the compa
ny residing in other counties, who expressed
themselves, on their return home, strongly in
favor of Gen. Taylor.
Capt. Nagle, out of motives of delicacy, and
a member, for reasons which wen: satisfactory
to his comrades, declined awning the paper—
both of whom will vote for Gem Taylor.
Four members have no votes—and the politi
cal principles of one is unknown—which will

So at Buena Vista the personal char
acter of Gen. Taylor had a like influ
ence on the army. When the War de
partment deemed it necessary, in order
to form a column to invade Mexico via
Vera Cruz, to take his Regulars from
him, he was sure that Santa Anna would
attack him. "I sin the weak point," he
often said, "and 1 know he sill attack
me. But he determined to defend his
position, and in order the best way to
defend it, to advance.—Gen. Taylor
kept well informed of the approach of
the enemy by Gen. Wool's scouts, mov
ed on to Saltil , o, then to Agua Nueva.
It was proposed at one time to meet the
enemy in advance of Agua Nueva, but
ascertaing by his engineers that their,
position could be turned, lie resolved to
fall hack to Buena Vista, as the enemy
approached him. Buena Vista is a mil-
itary position that any soldier's eye'
would select for a defence. To no par
ticular person is the credit of its selec
tion due—for it has been said, that even
a woman picked it out as a place to re
pulse an enemy. Various officers have
had the credit of the selection, but what
ever particular credit is due, is certain
ly due to the Commander-in-chief, who
fought the battle.
The Mexicans themselves had fought
a battle there. Santa Anna knew the
ground so well, that he ordered his Gen
eral (Minon) to take and keep possession
of it, in order to attack our rear. Gen.
Minon got in our rear as ordered; but
when he reached Buena Vista, he
found us in possession of it. The 22d
of February 4,500 men mostly raw troops
opposed to 20,000 of the enemy, was
certainly not a very encouraging day.
We did not feel quite so happy or so
well, as over this bountiful table to-night.
We thought of home, and of families
The Tat'ilf of %16 in Carbon County,
and the Coal Region Generally.
We learn from the Maunch Chunk
Cazette that the beautiful effects of the
glorious Free Trade Tariff of 1846 are
begining to be felt in Carbon county.
On Monday of last week, it says the
shipments of coal were curtailed one
third, and about two hundred and fifty
Miners and Laborers will be discharged
from the works at Summit Hill within
a few days. It is probable that it will be
found necessary to discharge a still
greater number before the close of the
!season.
Here then, almost at the begining of
winter, are three hundred hard working
industrious men, thrown out of employ
ment, left houseless and almost penny
less for the benefit of foreign capital
ists.
It will be in vain that many of them
will seek in other places for work. Will
they go th the Schuylkill Region' There
is no work for them there ; many of the
colliers have stopped, others are doing a
very limited business and hundreds of
hands arc out of employment in that re
gion.
Will they go to the Wyoming regionl
Every extensive coal operation there has
stopped,
Will they go upon the Public Im
praVements 1 Where arc they that
have not already more hands than they
require.
Where then are those men to find em
ployment 1 God only knows. We know
not.
We cannot but believe, remarks the
Oratette, that poverty and suffering are
to harrass many of them through the
coming winter. Why is this ?

of the people into the belie( that Polk,
