This plain Farmer has always understood that our
present Chief Magistrate had not made known his
opinions to any body-not even 10 his most conf
Dental friends, respecting the increased Tariff
the principal measure approvedby Pennsylvania-
before the Presidential election; and even TO this
moment, observes the most Mysterious silence upon
that point; and, also, that our present Chief Ma
gistrate and MI Clay, had not been upon speak-
ing terms Tor more than tw elve months before Mr.

this knowledge, and, furthermore that Mr. n.
