The following paragraph we copy entire from the
Indiana Journal:


LocoFoco INsINcERIIT.- Who does not recollect
how the leaders Of the Locofoco party denounced the
Wings for imposing duty Salt. 1t was horrible
Governor Whlcomb especially, was perfectly furious
whenever he alluded 10 it. What! the rascally
Wings had laid tax of the essentials of life
when 1t ought to be free The farmers of the West
were compelled TO use American home manufactured
salt, instead of Turks Island. because Of this most
lniquitous tax That not all 1t was attempted
to make the people believe that American salt would
not preserve their pork and beef from spoiling Had
they been honest in these denuncations, the very
moment they had power they would have repealed
this odous tax. Look the British bill which has
just passed the House of Representatives by the Loco
cos. Ii levies tax of TWENTY PER CENT. ON
SALI! Where now are the sympathies of Locofo-
colSm for the poor men Of our country According
to the doctrine advanced by Gov. Whtcomb in his
" Facts for the People," every man who purchases a
pound of salt pays twenty per cent. higher for it,
than he would do were l. to in free of duty. If
this be true, the people willing to longer continue
In power who will thus increase the price Of one
of the prime articles of necessity!


The writer of the foregoing pretends to be christ
ian. He cannot pretend ignorance on a subject like
this, and has therefore for such bareaced
impudence, not to say LYING; for lying it is and bare


faced at that 1t is in perfect keeping with the federal
whig dOctrine-that the people know nothing-and
hence is attempted to be palmed on them as truth
not on those who know better-but as a cue for the
demagogues to practice those who have not the
means of information Wedo not intend to be thrown
on the defensive by any such LIES, emanate from
what quarter they may; and merely notice it, to
express our astonshment that a man who get on
his knees and ask forgiveness Of the Almighty can
lrifuuy make such statements. 1t is false in EVERY
particular 1t leyies tax of Twenty per cent. on
Salt says this christian writer. Why did he not
tell them, that while the bill levied tax of twenty
per cent on Salt, the old whig tariff "levied tax :"
of NEAR ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY PER CENT, and
therefore the Democrats have reduced that TAX some
one hundred and twenty per cent?


The bareacedness of the balance of the falsehoods
need not be pointed out. The writer will still re-
main in church, and IL suffers. Can't he write " an
acknowledgment Of the corn," and still be holy!
