TDK," BILL OF ABOMISITIOS..
; Tho Pittsburg Morning Post, a Lpcofoco
paper, seeing the good tne tartlt is bring
ing about,' has the impudence to assert that
it was secured to the country by Demo
cratio votes, i he I'ost says:
" Prosperiiy has returned to our couo.
try. 1 housanus of workmen have pro
cured employment in consequence of the
adoption of . a Tariff" that was carried by
Democratic votes" ; " - ,
' ".Thatt was "carried by Democratic
votes!" nd those of thcLocofocos'who
voUd.for tho bill, tell us that they are op.
loKlhf) tariff that it is a bill of abom
mations ; and some of the leaders of the
Locofoci party pronounce it a high pro.
tcctive tariff. . There is no virtue in doing
what a man is avowedly opposed to. As
the tariff is claimed by the Locofoco party,
we trust that they will let it alone at the
ne,xt sission of Congress. This, we fear,
is hoping against hope, though, for the more
reckless ot the party Who huve so bitterly
denounced-4he-4a'4S,4o have the appear
ance of consistency, will be very apt to
make a move towards its repeal.
While speaking of the inconsistency of
of the Locofoco party on the subject of the
tariff, we have before us another extract to
which we w ish to coll. the attention of the
reader. Tlie extract is from the New York
Plebian, a very zealous advocate of modern
democracy. Here it is t

products of ilit south by a proper discrimi
nation within the limits of a revenue tariff;
the vjews of Mr. Van Buren upon the sub.
ject aro well known, as developed in his.
celebrated 'Indiana letter,' and here we
have the decluation of Mr. Clay, made in
his speech-in the United Stales Senate,

let me entreal that I may not bo misrrpre.

of a high protective tariff: I am for abid.

If there be here a single gentleman who
will deny the fairness and propriety of this
. Weare the more pleased to give place
to the above because of ihe oft repeated
assertion by & great -,mnny of the Locofo

also, that the James Buchanan who utter,

Buchanan who is now a prominent leader
of the sumo Democratic party which he
once denounced as corrupt and dishonest ;
and further that Mr. Buoh&nnn is spoken of

like to know by -what mysterious process
Mr. Buchanan has been changed" from a
bitter and malignant Federalist into a first
rate' Democrat ofthe' modern stamp.. It
is rather strange that men so devoid of prin

to be, can secure the confidence and re
spect of the party which professes to be the
only true republicans. The only reason js
that Mr. Buchanan has so twisted his pure
