THE TARIFF.

The recent Signs of the Times from Tennessee,
have indicated pretty strongly, that General Jackson
has the southern hostility 10 the American system. In
the speech OF Col Williams, from which we made
tracts, this fact clearly indicated. Another men,
Der used language still stronger:
81 am willing to acknowledge" says Mr.. Bradfoot,
that have been induced TO join in the support of
him (Jackson) who is the choice of Tennessee, from
fuH pcrsuasons, that from the nature of the circum
stances surrounding him, if he succeeds he UW be in
duced to join IN the support of those measures
sdercd essential 10 Southern Interests! ! ''-"l want
TO see Administration which will not deny to the
South and west that protection they entitled oa
protection Of their rights, and an exemption Of the Ia
rt io'OS and the operation Of all such measures" ~
One of the resolutions denounced the measures Of
the Administration in mass-includng of course the
tariff and internal mprovements-and when a substi-
tute is offered condemnng the measures in part only,
it was almost unanimously rejected; SO that we to
have a total revolution OF policy II jackson should
succeed.
We have another evinencc OF this fact, in the Rich
mond Enquirer, far thar paper can be consld-
cred authority for any thing. Speaking on this snb
Ject, the Enquirer says; "As TO Constitutional ques
ton, zoe knOw from letter many months since
under Generel Jackson own hand, nerer Intended to
be used, that he was ast0nea and startled by The
traUtga'n enCioachRem supported in Mr. Adams first
message" Nerpr ieadid TO be ussd!! HIS d,scios-
ures to Garter Beverly were never intended TO be
sed." But why not! The General practices "no con-
cealment OF any kind" Why not use his sentiments
about the American system THIS letter no doubt oas
intended to be used in Virginia, as Beverly 1cas ex-
pected TO use his information WITHOUT being throscn i
to the public prints, lest Pennsylvania might not like
it so well. For what these "extravagant en-
croachments' which so startled and oStontsied the
good General! They are the doctrines of construc-
ton, which include the American system; to which
the south is now opposed, but which every Admins
tration we ever had, supported; and which Penn
sylvania is much devoted. There is no ntrigue-no
conceaiment-in the pure old Roman! Quere, how
many letters Of different character has he written
to his friends III Pennsyvana intended to be used

lustration of the criminal remissness with which the
election conducted-and of the abuses to which
that led:
