Great excitement prevails among the
democrats in Pennsylvania in relation 10
the tariff. They fear that the tariff of ~
will be repealed. and the interests Of that
State thereby greatly prejudiced.


Pennsylvania is only reap;ng the fruits
of her own labor. She has no right TO
complain. She threw her vote into the
political scale for Mr.. Polk, and should
abide TIE consequence without murmur.
The leading men OF the democratic party
there, knew as well as their brethren in
the south that Mr.. Polk was opposed to a
protective tariff. They knew, or ought to
have known, that it was one OF the main
principles upon which the two great parties
differed. They knew loo that il Mr.. Polk
succeeded, an attempt would be made by
the very party they were supporting TO
break down the tariff.


What pi,iably, degraded position does
she now occupy. Scolled Il; by the party
she assisted in elevating to power; her
Senators ridiculed when presenting peii.
tions to prevent the repeal or the act 10
which she, in voting for MIR. Polk. gave
her assent, she stands upon the verge
Of bankruptcy and shame, the insu.,ed and
laceraied dupe Of designing demagogucs.


The following, from the Philadelphia
North American, applies with much force
TO her present unenviablc position:


You. whose hills and valleys rung
with songs Of protected labor, anu whose
vast hopes of ailluence and prosperity knew
no existence but in The tariff your hand
it is that has stricken il down. You have
ruined yourself and the country, TO win a
sugarcd word from the party that spurus
you. Now take the desolation thai you
have wooed; see your mines deserted, Your
forge fires ex,inguished. your slu,;les stilIed.
your labor without hope, your capital with
out profit. Pay your Stale debi it, you can
in drafts upon The party, or sink into bank
Iuptcy, dishonor, and misery. and be the
scott ol;he world, as the Stale that sold a
glorious biIthright FOR wre,ched mess of
political pouage.' Nor does Pennsylvania,
turning in her extremity TO the party ior
wh.ch she had sacrificed all, and enirea,ing
that she may be spared the ruin with which
she is menaced, find accent Of encourage
ment or consolation. The free trade men
tell her, The repeal Of the tariff is in the
bond by which you sold yourself to us s.

You will select leaders who will beiray-
