POLITICAL CORRUPTION.
it in truly astounding to see how Loco
focoiem demoralizes its leaders and active
partisans. As recent and painful illustra
lions of this, we need only refer to Ruche
-nen and Bigler, who wrote letters and
made speeches before the last presidential
election promising protection to the suffer
ing people of Kansa., and in the lace of
these promises, used all the influence of
-their respective offices to force upon that
.much , iojured people, the bogus Lecomp
ton Constitution, which they abhorred, and
which they had repeatedly condemned
and -rejected by their votes I Mr. Beam
-nan pledged himself before the country
-and all the Locofoco pressers and speakers
reiterated the pledge, that if elected he
would use all the power of-the govern-,
ment to protect the people of Kansas in'
the exercise of their inalienable rights.—
How shamefully he has belied that pledge
we need not state. The shrewdest Loco.
loco editors and leaders, everywhere in the
free North, admit that he has done Just.
what we believed and always said he would
do—used all the power and pillage of
his position to fasten a great arffilirthed
wrong on the people he so solemnly pro
mised,to protect ! The same is true of
Bigler, Ahl, Gillis, and the whole Locofoco
delegation from this State, in the last Con
gress, with five or six honorable excep
twos; and these either have been, or will
be repudiated and denounced by tneir par
ty as soon as the awakened indignation of
their distriets can be hushed, and the rank
and tile bored bock into the traces.
Similar pledges of protection to Penn
sylvania interests were made all over the
State in 1844 with regard to the Tariff.—
This is patent to every body. Every
where the Locafocos insorihed on their
banners, everywhere proclaimed through
their presses and stump orators, friendship
to the protective policy of Pennsylvania,
fidelity to the Tariff of '42. By these
pleilges, known to the Southern free•tra
den, known to themselves to be false
when they made them, they solar deluded
the honest, unsuspecting voters of this
State as to elect Polk and a Locofoco Con•
grew ; and then, without any apology,
without any compunctions of conscience,
they broke every pledge, violated every
promise, repealed the Tariff they had
sworn to maintain, and ruthlessly crushed
the industrial interests of the country; re
monelessly taking the breadout of the
mouths of thousands of the toiling labor
ers and artisans of Pennsylvania to feed' '
the workmen of Europe ! We might sup
pose that these two seta of heartless de
ception end flagrant treachery, oerpetrated
by the Locofocn party, the one against
Pennsylvania in '44, and the other against
Kansas and the free States in '56, would
shame them into silence at least until the
next presidential eleetion. Va:n supposi.
ten. We say it in sorrow, no rale of hop•
or, or feeling 01 shame has any inflnence
on a genuine Locofoco politician no matter
what moy be his private character or so
cial position. In addition to the evidences
of this startling fact already mentioned,
we have another illustration of the shame
ful and painful truth. in the Locofoco can
didate for Congress in this District, Cyrus
L. Pershing. This gentleman uaexcep•
tionable as far as we know in his private
character, and evidently disposed to dodge
the responsibility imposed on him by his
political relations and position, has never
theless yielded to the practice of his party
and the necessity of the case, and is nn e,
on the eva of the election, milking pledges
which no Locofoco in the full confidence
of his party, as he is, DARE REDEEM.
Wo suppose his partizans will pronounce
this an impeachment of Mr. Pershing's
veracity as a man, and denounce us as a
slanderer. If his friends choose to in
volve his private character with his politi•
cal action, we can't help it. We meet
the denunciation, however, by the open,
bald, admitted fact, that Mr. Buchanan,
Judge Kane, Mr. Dallas, Judge Black, Se
nator Bigler and Judge qillis—men of as
high character, moist and religious, es
Cyrus Lecompton Pershing or any oilier
Locofoco leader in the State or nation—
have vii lated the most solemn and oft-re
peated pledges made to the people on these
same issues. Now, our position is this:—
that if neither the advanced age and esti
mable character of James Buchanan ; nor
;he high position and pure life of George
M. Dallas; oor the Judicial robes of Jud
ges Kane, Black and Gillis, were any
guaranty of their political integrity, or of
fered the least obstacle to their foul treason
and shameless betrayal of their constitu
ents—it is absurd, nay, it is criminal to
stake the pecuniary and moral interests of
this great Commonwealth and of the free
North and West on the mere promise of an
unfledgedged stripliug like Cyrus L. Per
shing, while he owes and acknowledges
fealty to the same party and is surrounded
by the same uemoralizing influences that
have hopelessly corrupted the hoary-head
ed sires of the organization. We appeal
to the intelligent voters of the county and
district. Will you, can you again be de
ceived
by Locofoco promises and cast your
rotes for Cyrus L. Pershing; or wilt ~ .;tu
reprove political treachery by eletti - ag Sa.

THINGS TO RE REMEMBERED.
It should be rententbered—that John hi.
Read, our candidate for Supreme Judge, was
endorsed in the People's Nominating Conven
tion, at Harrisburg, by Norton 21IbMieliag and
Henry C. Carey, both distinguished old
Whigs, uncompromising enemies of Free
Trade, and warm political and personal friends
of Henry Clay. These gentlemen and others
of like high churaotr and widespread reputa
tion, having vouched for the soundness of Mr.
Read's views on the Tariff question, no man
who has a decent regard for truth, will
doubt hit Imsitau, Buy, apa•t from this
his notoriously the fact that John M. Read,
originally a Tariff Democrat—abandoned the
Locofoco party because it betrayed the inter
ests of his native State by repealing the Tar•
iff of '42! This is known to every well in
formed politician in the State, and to none
better than to the lying editors who charge
our candidate with holding freetrade princi
pleo. So fitt from this being true, it is be
yond all doubt, that if Mr. Road had consen
ted to betray his country for an °Vice, he
could have received the appointment conferred
on Judge Kane; who, it is well known, was
promoted to a judgeship for the prominent
part he took in consummating that base
treachery. Mr. Read prefered principle to
party,honor to of/ice, and spurned the bribe
which Judas Kane accepted. The peo
ple will remeber his heroic devotion to their
interests, to truth and political honesty, and
will reward him at the polls on Tueslay neat
with such a majority as will blanch the bra.
zee cheek and startle the seared conscience of
every traitor to plighted faith.
It should also be remembered—that Jeremi.
ah S. Blaek, Buehatian's Attorney General
recommended himself to the 'aver and patron
' age of the President by taking a still more
active part in deceiving the people on the
Tariff and other questions of vital interest.—
Mr. B lack in a member of the Cabinet at
Washingtm, because he suotatned to Me ub
termost, all the infamous Locofoco betrayals of
Pensylvauia interest, and justified without ,
*ins, all the outrages committed ou the P.
plea Kansas. Had Kane uttered one syl•
table of dissent from the l'ariff frauds 0( 1 44,
he could not have been appointed to a seat on
the Supreme Bench, or to any other promi•
neat or profitable position. And had judge
Black manifested the least repugnance to the
president's Scheme for enslaving Kansas a•
gainst her will, or had he ventured the least a.
pology for her suffering people, nu Cabinet ho.
nom would now grace his name, no govern
ment speculations swell his fortune. He is re•
ping the reword for his treachery to his BOA
ems promises to freedom and free coil ;
and to hold his ',mitten, he must P,anctimi
and uphold every phase of that treachery,
past, present and future ; not even u petty
postmaster can retain office tender the tyritni•
can adininisistration of the re sen t, L oce f e e o
dynasty, unless he supports the whole creed
and conduct of the party, no mutter how wick
ed or infamous. A high official, such as At
tarnev Black, dare nut even recon,end a
doubtful Buchanan matt to the party's favor
without endangering his own position, This
is known of all men of all parties in the free
states, where, for purposes of deception, many
Locofoco presses have charged home on Ouch.

FOUND A. M.A.,,RE'S NEST,
Mr Lewis, in h•ts issue of the •12d ult..
exults greatly o ser the fact, that the Peo
ple's Convennon of Blasi• county, which
nominatea Samuel S. Blair for emigres ,
at the same time passed a resolution do•
clu•ring unanimously that the neonstito
lion confers upon Congress sovereign pow
er over the 'Territories, and that it is the
duty - of Congress to exercise that sover.
eignty by excluding polygamy and slavery
from the l'erritorits." Mr, Lewis seems
to regard this as something very terrible,
and asks, "Can the popular sovereignty

and passed an express law to en/ot•re tha t
