amounting to

Personally appeared before me. a Justice of the Peace in and for Ohio countv, Tiionuis Ogden, and made oath that the above is a true and genuine extract from a letter he received from his father, now living in Snelling, England, dated August "JO, 181 1. Given under my hand, this 30th dav of September, 1811. CHARLES 1). KNOX, J. P.

And who. we ask. are those men who huve subscribed so liberally? Why, we arc told and common sense tells us that these men are EXTENSIVE 31ANUEACTURE'vS. And where has this fund been placed? We answer, in the hands of the leaders of the Locofoco party. And for what purpose was it raised ? We answer, for the purpose of overthrowing our present Tariff, with Free Trade doctrines, and to force the American people to

suDserve tlie interests ot the maniitaeturmir nabobs ol lreat I5ritam, our direst enemy. State.

Who, we now ask, is the American, and w ho the Hritish parties? Arc any at a loss to answer? We all know that the. present Democratic partv is opposed to the Tariff of "-12, and

so are the capitalists of Great Britain. We also know that the destruction of our Tariff

would advance the interests of the manufacturers of Europe: and to prove that fact, and to show their partiality to parties, and the deep interest England manifests in our present Presidential contest, we refer to the following, copied from the 'London Atlas a strong Free Trade paper. In noticing the raiding of the great fund for the spread of Free Trade doctrines in this country, it says: uThe election of Mr. Clay must, AVE FEAR, be looked upon as to a considerable extent, the confirmation of the principle of commercial restriction. lie has always been the consistent advocate of a PROTECTIVE TARIFF, and the cause of the Whigs has always been identified with that of New England manufacturers, who aim at acquiring a monopoly of the home market, by the aid of prohibitory duties." Speaking upon the same subject, the Madisonian, President Tyler's late organ at Washing City, but now a Polk and Dallas paper, makes this daring confession: "We admit that 'British gold' has been sent to this country in abundance, to be expended in the advocacy of the doctrines of free-trade.' With what indignation should the American people read this announcement, made by one of the leading journals in the support of Polk and Dallas! Shall our Tariff be destroyed by British capitalists? Shall we submit to the dictation of Great Britain, and become subservient to the interests of her nabob Lords and manufacturers? Shall w e cherish the industry of our

own honest laborers, or of the pauper hordes of Great Britain? Shall we secure to the honest laborers of our own country a fair reward for their honest industry the means of obtaining; a comfortable subsistence for themselves and their families wherewithal to rear and educate their children, and to fit them for the discharge of their duties as American citizens or shall we suffer them to sink down to the condition ef the pauper laborers of Great Britain, and that too under the influence and bv the means of British Gold? This is no partian appeal to your prejudices or fears, for the purpose of obtaining your votes; but a statement of facts, and an appeal to your patriotism. Read the following, which, w ith the extracts above, is sufficient to satisfy any unprejudiced mind any one who is not so

blinded by the interests of party as to overlook the interests of his country any one who is.ty!

And again, the following in relation to the Maine election:

"Our opponents were furnished from some source with a plentiful supply of money whether it came from .English manufacturers or Texas bond holders, or office holders, or office seekers, or from all, we know not. The fact is certain. Arid doubtless the same fund will

supply, in the same manner, all the money which can be used advantegeously in every other

Maine- Vhig"Statc Central Committee. From w hat has been said above, every one will readily perceive that England feels a deep interest in the destruction of our present Protective System ; and that it is her intention to assist, with might and main, to affect its total overthrow, with her monied influence. Fellow-citizens without regard to political distinction we ask you, before entering i:pon the field, to make your choice. Let PRINCIPLES, not party prejudices, be your guide in making that choice. The contest is one in which every American citizen should feel a deep solicitude for the best interest of his own country. It is to be fought upon FOREIGN and DOMESTIC interests. On the one hand, English capitalists with their treasures, and aspiring demagogues, laden with the price of their hire. While on the other hand, the true Patriots, the sons of freedom's champions, in the 'times that tried men's souls.' The one endeavoring to re-establish and build up the deepest interests of monied monopolies of England's fortune favored sons; while the other stands firm to the interests of their own brothers and fellow-citizens, and emulates the glorious example of their fathers, in throwing off, with prcud disdain, the galling yoke and gilded manacles of the British Lion. Twice have you been successful in arms against England, Twice has she invaded your sacred domains, and as often have you sent the minions of her crown, as it w ere, howling to the dens from which they immerged. Your success in arms should be the leading incentive to action, in repelling the present flagrant insult, in attempting to force you to abandon interests to you the most sacred, and to subserve those the most degrading to an American citizen. Shall the liberty of making our own laws that noble inheritance of our patriot sires the result of seven years' toil, and suffering, and bloodshed, and war, be thus tamely rendered back, and we once again made to 'bow with humble submission, like the weed-clad mendicant to atripple-crowned despot?' Were the battles of Germantown and Lexington, of Concord and Bunker Hill fought in vain? Shall England, as she sits in swollen pride and aristocratic grandeur, cammand, and we obey? Shade of Washington, of Jefferson, and of 3Iadison, avert the disgraceful calami-

Fcllow-citizens, the syren song of Free Trade has been sung to you; its delusive theories and false philosophies may at first attract, but be assured that the glove which feels so soft contains an IKON HAND!
