The Address further predicts that, if the enemies
of the executive succeed, the tariff internal improve

government As Gen. Jacksons most prominent
opponent is evidently alluded TO, we would ask
whether Mr.. Clay would restore the tariff 10 the
standard OF 1892 Would he attempt to make that

evaporation and disunion would attend its revival

endure the weight of the executive veto pondcrous

Among the few points in which we concur with

far the stale and eloqucncc of this Address may be
direct inheritance TO its reputcd author, Gom the

affirm that the genius of his lmmort ancestor has

The desultory and unconnec'ed style OF these ob
