Those who belonged TO tariff states. IS

pearanee To political union, among gen

great and leading question Of The times
The question Of the projecting policy.
But This difficulty was overcome BY the
0racular declaration that General Jackson
was in lavor Of a " JuDIcIous TARIFF"

Well, sir, the honorable gentleman tells
US that he expected, when General Jack
Sun should be elected. to arrest The tariff
system through The influence Of The Er-
eeHiire Department. Here is another
candid confession. Arrest the tariff BY
Executive influence! Indeed! Why, sir,
this seems like hoping, from the first, for
the use Of The veto. How, but by the
veto. could the Executive arrest the tariff
acts! Aud is it true, sir. that, at that
early day, the honorable member was
