FREE TRADE - In the meantime the Locofocos in New York
are beginning to speak out in plain terms as to the
principles really held by the so-called friends of Free
Trade. An article in the New York Post of Friday
afternoon, addressed to the Friends of Free Trade, says:
While the success of the Whig party will
effect what you cannot but deem a triumph of antiquated
heritage of doctrines long repudiated by
the whole intelligence of Christendom, in that of the
other offered the only hope of allaying through
the election of Mr. Polk a reinstatement of those un-
equal and oppressive regulations which without
regard to partisan politics you have ever strenuously re-
sisted.
Also the New York Standard, the leading Polk
and Dallas paper, having heard the result of the
Pennsylvania election that that State had gone for
Polk and Dallas, the fiery exhibition which it makes
of its feelings, alike patriotism in its columns.
The Proceedings Of The FREE TRADE CONVENTION
held in Philadelphia in 1831 with the ad-
dresses which that body made to the people of the
United States, urging them to the adoption of FREE
TRADE measures
