The Tariff and the Poor Man and Whig Liberty View
From the Louisville Journal a strong defense of the Whig party and tariff policy. William Slade argues the Whigs resist annexation and slavery, favor protection, and stand as the sole effective barrier against radical policy while praising freedom over expansion of slavery. The piece contrasts with Locofoco criticisms of tariffs harming the poor and cites price tables from 1842 and 1844 to refute claims.

Northumberland Union Views on Tariffs and Liberty
A lengthy 1844 Northumberland public appeal condemns Locofocoism and endorses Henry Clay and the 1842 tariff. It denounces James K. Polk and urges support for American industry, the farmer, and Gen. Markle, urging readers to weigh tariff policy and its effect on Pennsylvania. It ends with signatures of local farmers and citizens asserting their stance.
