which taken with the letters from Washington,
that appear in the coalition papers, proves INA. our
opinion formerly expressed to wit: that Mess.s'
Adams and Clay have resolved to de'eat any La
riff, is correct.
Tie reason Of this is obvious: What is the
great end and aim of Messrs. Adams, Clay and
Webster?
| .9nswer. 10 re elect Mr.. Adams.
| @. How do they expect to effect that object
| n. BY inducing the people to believe that Mr.
Adams is, and that Gen. Jackson is not the irlehd
of Domestic Manufactures.
| q. Since Mr. Adams has made no declaration
in favor Of domestic manufactures, by what right
does he claim to be their special patron
| "A. BY virtue Of report made by the Secreta-
ry Of the Treasury, and professions oil his parti
sans in Congress.
@. If Mr.. Adams desires to be considered the
patron Of domestic industry, why did he not recon-
mend their protection in his Message To Congress.
II. For the same cause that he refused to be
the democratic candidate for Governor OF Massa-
chusetts. His father in his letter to William
Cunningham, SAID:
"Imay you confidence Mat considerable pains

the absalre Oigaicty"
Now i is well known that Mr.. Adams has been
counting the mercantile a. well as tie manuactu-
ring interest; if he had taken the same bold ground
~ favour Of manufactures that was assumed by Mr..
Rush. il would have caused an eternal separation
between him and the mercantile interest which
ne could not afford to lose. because it will require
all the interest which he can bring into the field to
carry New England.
q. How then can Mr.. Adams expect to de
ceve the people into belief that lie is the ficnd
OF domestic manufacturers
u. Its well known that majority of both Hon
SEES are favorable to the election Of Gen. jackson;
IT is also known that the representatives from the
Southern States arc unanimously opposed to Il ia
riff. and the partisans OF Mr. Adams say that Gen.
Jackson's friends being opposed to tariff, ergo
he i anti-tarff.
z. But is not Mr.. Adams indebted to anti ia
riff votes for his election?
n. Yes. Messrs. Brent and Gurlry gave the
casting vote in his favor; they represent an anti
tariff state and besides large majority Of those
who voted for Mr.. Adams from New England,
particularly in Massachusetts, were opposed to the
tariff Of 1924
z How has this change Of policy thus been
brought about
u 1t was part Of Mr. Clay's plan tc unite the
fas, and the est against the South.
& But has not Mr.. Cay's plan, been to unite
the south and west against the east ?
= Yes. Until the west brought forward Gen.
Jackson, and the south Mr.. Calhoun, Nj. CLAW
Aas desir"us to be considered as the representa-.
tive OF sonthern and western interests. Hence as
late &, 1924, he proposed duty Of ten cents per
gallon on mnlasses. and was ready to sacrifice The
tariff Of 1924, for half cent per ward on cotton
bagsing
q. Whathas caused Mr. Clay to change his policy?
4 Tie sees that if Mr.. Adams is not elected.
the people will choose the successor of General
jackson, without regard to the safe precedent
which he is DESTROYS TO perpctuate ; or in Other
words, he sees that if the people refuse to ra,,fy
his contract with Mr.. Adams. Mr. A. will not have
the power to appoint his successor. and that he
must retire into disgrace, without the means to
pay the Morrison legacy, which he has put INTO
his own pocket. instead of paying it over to the
rrans, lvania University.
T. But how does it appear that Messrs Adams
and Clay are DESTROYS to defeat the present tariff
bill
n. 1t fully appears in the speeches Of their par
TRANS, the letters written from Washington to be
published in their distant presses. aud the NANTES.
to issued from the National Journal
z What benefit can the coalition expect from
such pocya
H. II is known as we have said, that majority
IN beth Houses are in favor of the election of Gene
raj Jackson. Therefore no bill can pass without
It Is supported by portion of his friends. and it
consequently follows that the administration can
not clalrn the entire credit of the tariff Whereas
IT is known that if all General Jackson's friends
were to unite, they could carry any bill and it Will
be easy to charge, that the defeat of the bill was
caused by their opposition to it,
z. Ana is not this correct?
II. No 1t is well known that the Committee
