The Baltimore Gaz. says, that ITO Judge from N =.

tented with MIR. Clay's bill OF compromise than we at first

speech, that he had not conversed with a single nrar,icaI
manufacturers who did not acquiesce i'm the measure AMI
that tine political manufacturers only were yiolen,iv amS ~,
irreconcileably opposed to il. The Boston Commercial
Gazette OF the 10th instant, says ''From the tone of the
ienuing Providence papers, we are satisfied that MIR. Clay's

ticany interested in manufactures and business men r
not apt to take part in the discussion of distractions. But
that they can approve the principle of the comnrou;ss
as II is universally understood in the southern section ol the
country is highly improbable. We should be among the
last to endeavor to excite their discomfort unnecessarily
or prematureIy; but their acquiescence does, not shake
regard TO the measure"
A Correspondent from Harrisburg, of the Phil. Jno,;-

A long and elaborate article of a Providence Editor
shows us, how much more favorable to the manufacturersi,
Clay's bill than Verplanck's-and states. that in consa1
quence of the home valuations and cash no,ouen,s a.

ITO remove the imaginary grievances of portion oGtha

The bill is defective and the question must again be OPEN

the wants OF the government. We dread the accumu-

even more than we dislike the manner OF raising il.

and 1t will require much re-toucbing TO bring il all right.
