The administration of Mr.. Acams was ren-
dered more unpopular in the South hy its policy
on the Tariff Question than by any other or in
deed all others OF lis acts. At least. this was
the os,ensible ground of opposition. Hence
an unusual anxiety has been manifested 10 as
certain what will be the course Of his successor,
whom the An,.TariF States had unanimously
supported--an anxiety which was greatly in.
which resulted in his election, he had been al.
ternatey claimed by both parties with equal
confidence. II is not worth while, at this time,
TO enquire how it happened that, on question
deemed SO vitality important in its operations
and tendency, Gen. Jackson should have lost
sig ht of that frankness and candor which his
friends say are so eminently Characteristic oil the
Imam: il is sufficient 70 know that the direct en-.
Iqulries which we're addressed TO him were adrot
by evaded by species OF ambdexter'iy which
would have done credit to the Delphan oracle.
In his Message however the President is quite
clear aud explicit on this subject, for which,
1nder existing circumstances, he deserves une.
luivocal praise. He no longer palers with the
public in a double sense but & YES us plainly
10 understand that he is, as he was while sen.
ator. the advocate Of that policy, which, as we
have heretofore observed, is the only true
" wealth of nations" and which cannot iail, II
il be pursued, to exalt this Confederacy 10 an
unrvaled eminence in the scale of Empires
Of thai policy which gives animation TO indus
try, infuses lie into trade. draws forth the 9th
erwise buried resources of a country, and mspl
rits the beoumbed and paralyzed energies OF
countless thousands of people-which, III sho'i'
can alone render nation Independent and pros.
porous in peace aad in war. By espou'ing tins
policy, too, the President has exhibited qualities
had alwaysascribed TO him but which we began
10 fear had been so ascribed from an incorrect
estimate of his character. He has yndlcated
his consistency, and established a claim 10 the
possession of moral frmness. He is aware no"
strong is the current of feeling in the South
that very South TO which he is indebted for his
election, against the Protecting System he
knows that the people OF that section of country
denounce it, as Inconsistent both with the letter
.,d shirt of the constitution, and as operating
most oppressively on their interests, Bot, what
does he say' Does he chime in with that rude
and ungenerous spirit which has depicted the
Merchant. the Farmer and the Planter as the
selected victims of gang OF P'ckpockets ana
,obbers. who, under color of an unconsthution-
al law. forced upon them by small and 'n'e-
rested majority in Congress, are driving them
headlong to poverty and ruin Does he tell U.s.
as ,be Southern politicians do, that the Manu-
fac,urers are amassng overgrown fortunes, by
,hs Localized plunder Of those who are engaged

aenv the constitutional authority of the gene
raj government to impose duties o" imports for
other purposes than revenue' No On the con
trsry. he says" No change has occurred dur'"s
the recess of Congress, in the condition oil elmer
