He would take the tariff and cut it down 10 the bone: but he did not wish to rush into nntired systems. He be lieved that his constituents ldcxeuse him for surrenderirg their interests, baf they would not forgive him for | violation Of the Constitution.
 Mr. CLAY replied to the Senator from Massachusetts. He paid q high tribute to the purity and patriotism of that gentleman, and said that he felt q deep and lasting regret that he had now to differ with him. He was happy, how ever, to find himself connected with his friend from M5ine, with whom he had acted in tlae final adjustment of the Missouri question. He suggested that 1.-the Senator from Massachusetts could not make some appeal to q future Con gross for forbearanee, he must be op posed 10 all compromise. He rePndiat- ed my share in bringing the existing evtls ol1 Ire conutry, and declared that waoa nc say tlie torch applied to q fa- yorite system, he would rush to save it and 10 restore security and peace.
