THE TARIFF.
The Editors of the Baltimore American have
received a letter from member Of the ii. of Re-
representatives., under date OF May II, which COM
municates the following important information in
relation to the Tariff Bill:
twas General Smiths intention, when NOV
ing to strike out the 30th Jne and insert the lst
September, in the first section of the Tariff Bill, to
postpone the operation of the whole bill until the
latter period. But the first section applies eXclu
siveiy to iron, and the BOZ June is permitted
main in all the other sections. Consequently, the
increased duty wool, woolens, noasses, spirits,
hemp, flax, canvass, sc. will take effect, il the
bill passes this House, tie former period. The
Hos e has not the power to act on any portion of
the bill ITSELF but exclusively the amendments

chants should issue orders, predicated on belief
that the present rate Of duties would continue I'M
I'll the LIST September. The bill will inevitably

the whole party. were SICK enough of hin, anl
found they had gained a loss. Mr.. Clay now comes
here. and known to. be the most finished den,a-
g0gue OF the age, much is expected by the party
from his vist--the matter is so managed as to give
him an opportunity TO make a speech. And such
speech! His friends, il they too, had not, i'm the
violence Of their party feeling, lost their discretion
would surely never have allowed il to be publish
ed. speech in which, while he is protesting de-
votion to liberty and republican government.
while he is complaining OF persecution, he wishes
his country to be visited with WAR, with PESTI-
LENCE and with FAMINE sooner than that
General JACKSON shall be elected Presidentt A
speech which exceeds in violence and abuse any
thing that the pensioned Binns has cast before the
public! We believe that the Adams managers will
lind that this visit OF MIR Clay has injured them
not only in the increased activity which il has ex
cited among the friends Of Jackson but in the dis
gust which this obvions electoneering, and the vi
olence and want Of dignity Of his speech, have ex
cited among the respectable portion Of his par
~ even.'
The Bait. Republican also gives the following
ON Thursday Evening Called while Mr.. Clay was
in that city:)
GREAT JACKSON MEETING.
:" simple notice that meeting of the friends
OF General jackson would be held in Commerce
street on Thursday evening, and that an address
would be delivered, having been published three
times only, in thi-papcr and once in each OF the
other papers. the Jackson Central Committee en-
pected that some four or five hundred of their
brother Jacksonians would probably meet them on
that occasion, and accordingly prepared for their
accommodation very large room (the old Ex-
change room in Commerce street, which, at
moderate calculation, think would hold six
hundred nen); but by the time the meeting was
organized. this room was crowded to sufiocation-
the door opening into the yard was then thrown
open, and the yard was filled from the room,
and the vacuum created in the room as soon fill
ed from the street Still there were thousands
in the street-Commerce street from Water
street down to Crowds stable presenting one solid
mass OF honest true Jacksonians. The meeting,
which the Central Committee had intended s.ould
he private one, having swollen into such an
Immense concourse, as to make it impossible for
them to assemble i'll any house, the Address which
was to have been delivered, was omitted, and
on motion. the meeting adjourned. The recent e.
lectioneering visit of Henry Clay, the Secretary
OF State, TO our city, and the boasful exhibition of
the farces of our opponents, their public gathering
at the wharf to receive him, and the impudent and
incendIary speech delivered by him while here at
private dinner and circulated through our city,
would have justified our commencing an open
and public campaign at once; BUT unwilling to
set the example Of public, street meetings at this
early period OF the season, the Committee sug-
gested, and the meeting cheerfully acquicsced in
an adjournment

RICHMOND, (Va.) MAY 10th, 1928
Hon Henru Clan

To the Hon. Henry Clay.
SIR: There are many. good patriots OF the real
Republican party, we think, in your native State,
who founded their opposition to the Administration
OIL the first Message of our present Chief Magis-
trate. The humble individual who now addresses
you, (humble, inasmuch as he never sought or ne
did not, at that time, even suspect Henry Clay of
apostacy in principle from real republcanisn, much
less would then have said him,
.ts,e isou at, aud mo's than al =; f're.worn.
NDtsP fr,n nib bIonn, goddess hrsn."
No, Sir, looked upon you then, as do upon e.
very enlightened REAL Republican and patriot as
yne OF Natures Nobles-as a brother.-And had
you authorised your Ky Correspondent of 1924, Mr.
Blair or would rather say requested him 10 state
all he knew, and disclose all the evidence in his
possession, on the investigation which took place
in the Senate OF Kentucky, my opinion OF your vir-
tue and patriotism may haze remained mistaken
up TO this moment, when have Just thrown from
my hand your Marcus Antonius' speech delivered
at the late Baltimore Dinner, in every line OF
which see the canting egoiist or willy hypocrite;
and doubtlessin your heart you have said
:. Now work M.eh,sf, thu art sfoot-
Take thou what couise th,u witt"
Your toast drunk there should be the teyt of e.
very genuine Republican, and except, indeed,
that they should all be of one faith" The mo-
raj, however, that draw froi it, is the very OPP
posite of that you would have to be inferred there
from.
We, sir, the Genuine Republicans, as we tciH
believe, are {. aroused" anu we will rally around
the standard of our country, under the banner OF
our sacred institutions. We will not enlist in the
service OF any great man, whether Military Chief
tain or Civil Dictator: whether threatened by tbs
sword or charmed by oily tongues, we will eniea
vonr 10 move on unawed and unihhuenced in the
great work OF purihcation. Genuine Republicans
of your native state, among whom you will iinA
none of Alien and Sedition memory, do not go foi
General Jackson-No.-" True TO the OF Ii
berty' OFF one faith &c they would guard against
all perncious examples. would have the
people elect President; and if the people choose
their JelLoc-ciiiSen, Andrew Jackson, of Tonnes
see, to be their president, be assured they have
better reason for it than his military fame.
Believing that your Dinner Speech will meet
with much ADLER commentators than 1, il shall be
left by me, at least for the present.
Till lately, your adn,irer. p.
Z. s. This is from one who has not put pen to
paper, politically, since the last Presidential cleo
ton.

The n. Y. National Advocate, a staunch Admin

rather hard squeezing; but the beauty of it, he is
forced to exc ont Mr.. AS 1873 by giving him all

We confess, indeed, that Mr.. C. seems to have
