worthy man and brave soldier, whose blood
flowed frt-ely for his country, and in her
honor, in the war of 1812. When on his
death, in l828, the case of his widow and
family came before Congress for some legis-
lation in the way of slight compensation for
services which had. beyond doubt, shortened
the life oftheir supporter and protector. Mf-
Polk voted against . the bill introduced for
the purpose of relieving them, which, liow-
ever, notwithstanding his opposition, became
:1 law. “
A like thankless spirit was manifested by
Mr. Polk. when in l830, on the loss of the
United States ship Hornet, the oidoivs and
.or_ph=ms of the Officers and Se.-amen who
‘perished on board of her, petitioned the
Legislature of the country for relief. He
was one of forty two Representatives who
voted against the bill for granting ‘such relief
-one liundrt-d and thirty eight votes being
given (fortunately) on the other side. Yet.
it is said, there: are officers ofthe Navy who
support the election of Mr. Polk. Into what
inconsistencies will not the fury of the party
lead men.
TO THE IVHIGS OF CONNECTICUT-
The Presidential Election now at hand is
one of greater importance than any which
his occurred since the formation of our gov-
ornnient. The election of Henry Clay will
- rcncler it certain that our present protective
policy will be continued for many years and
thus that permanence and stability will be
afforded to the system which is essential to
our prosperity. I It will also prevent the in-
iquitous scheme ofannexing Texas to the
Union from being consummated. It will
secure to the country a sound and uniform
currency in any contingency which may a-
rise. It will give to the old Slill.(~’Sl.llell' share
of the proceeds of the public lands. In a
word, we shall have ajust and faithful ad-
ministration of the general Government with
a single eye to the public good.
On the other hand, if Mr. Polk is elected
the Tariff‘ which has so greatly beiiefittcd
the country will be repealed, and our pros-
perity again destroyed. Tcxas (with its e-
normous debt) will be annexed to the Union
and thus such strength given to the free trade
and ultra slave power of the South, tliattheir
policy with all its blightingt-ffects upon the
free labor ofthe countt'y, will be fastened
upon us for many years to come—perhaps
forever. The nullifiers who drove the pirty
into the nominition of a candidate in favor of
free trade an:l annexation would of course
control an administration of their own crea-
tion. Thc interest of the old States in the
publii: lands would he lost by the election of
Mr. Polk, and the Sub 'l‘reasu.'y.
condemned by the people in l840, would be
re-established.
These, fellow citizens, are some of the
issu':s now before the country, and btit three
weeks remain before our decision will be
given. This short period should he devoted
to the business of the election by every true
friend to his country. No Whig should ba-
satisfied with simply casting his own vote for
our c.indidates—he should seek to convince
the honest of otir opponents that their true
interest as well as ours will be promoted by
the election of Mr. Cl-.y. There are but few
ofthe supporters of Mr. Polk in this State
who would knowingly vote against their
own and their country’s interest _nierelv to
promote the stic-:.css of their pirty and give
offise to their leaders——thi-y have been delu-
ded b_y party names and false issuesanrl l.lley

IV/iencc Comes Opposition lo the Protec-
tive Policy/.——Itc0:rics prim-irily from for-
eign agents of British houses in New York
and other cities, and from foreign books writ-
ten expressly to deceive us. The foreign
merchants in New York alone have a vast
influence by controlling. by their advertising
patronage, many of the commercial newspa-
pers ofthat city; and these operate again up-
on those ofthe country which do not share
irithis patronage. The New York Journal
of Commerce, Eve. Post, Aurora, Plebian,
Sun, and others, always advocate free trade,
and do all they can against protection to A-
merican Industry. They have succt-edcd in
iirraying a large portion of the South against
Protection by telling them that the planters
could buy their manufactures much cheaper
ifthcy could get them in England free of
duty. Thus we have a combination against
northern labor by British merchants and
southern planters, the latter wishing a free
exchange of their unpaid slave labor for the
almost unpaid labor of the peasantry and ar-
tizins of Europe. and the f0Trn€l‘. the British
inerchants, designing to monopolize all the
trade in this exchange of slave and pauper
labor, while the. free labor ofthe country is
left unprottcted, to sink down to the same
level.-—Kenncbec Jour.

POLK ON THE TARIFF.
o. A. BROWNSON.
O. A. Brownson, in the last number ofliis
Review, thus rebukes the swindling game
played offon the Pennsylvanians and‘ other
Tariffloco focos by Polk in his letter to
Kane and by Polk supporters in those, sec-
tions.where Protection is overwhelmingly
popular. Mr. Brownson is :1 locofoco in
principle, boldly hostile to Protection as well
as every thing else the Whigs‘:-ire in favor of.
He says of the ‘ilncidenital-’ juggle:
‘\’Ve are not a little impatient with this'un-
lair dealing with the people. \Ve as one of
the people, demand on the part of all men,
no matter how high or low, frankness and
honesty: and especially do we demand of
the politician who solicits our suffrages a
plain, honest, frank statement of the policy
he really and truly approves, and \\ISh(‘.’$ to
see adopted. VVe despise the meanness, we
detest the weakness, of attem pting to get in-
to power by false pretences. by concealing
our views, or by using language which per-
mits the inference that we are in fivor of
one thing, while we are really in favor of
another, Success by such means is more
dishonorable, more. latal than dt-feat. Better
to be defeated fighting for your principles,
than to succeed by abandoning them.’

Polk’s letter. VVe had hoped that with Mr.
Van Buren, the ‘betwixt and betwecnity poli-

and that henceforth we should be at liberty
to adopt an open manly.straightforward pol-
icy, alike creditable to the leaders of the par-

that we have gained little by the exchange.
We have we fear, only another disciple cf

lesto of a portion of the Mormons, in regard
to the successorship of the imposter, Joi-

S0lVl'(l on account of its rejection of Rigdon
as its divinely appointtd leader. The ele-
ments_ of discord and disunion are successful-
ly at work in the coinuiunity at Niuvoo;
and no doubt rests upon our minds, but that
the total dissolution of the Church will be
the inevitable result. Factions may spring
up amongst them, and some iinprincipled and
ambitious lc‘o(lt'l‘ seeks to seat himst If on the

had erected in this Republic, and the charm
that enabled him to deliide the populace has,
with his death depa rted, we trust forever.
