(" TIP-Tl --TAkIFI.. y

This is the heading Of an article in the
last Jeliersonian relative to the Tariff. II
attempts TO show that by tie movements
of Mr. Clay in Congress that he is in favor
Of imposing upon the people burdeneomc
Tariff. Mr.. Clay expressly states in his
late Speech, that he was not advocating
the revival Of high protective Tariff
He also says that if the nation does not
want protection he certainly never would
vote TO force il upon the nation. The
whole tenor OF this article in the Jcnerso-
MAN is an attempt TO make the impression
that Mr.. Clay with The Wings wish 10 en-.
TAIL upon the country a measure that the
South IS nov opposed TO. And the JEFF
lcrsouian says some ofthe Northern Wigs
are advocating the Protective Tariff as
one Of the cardinal principles Of the Wing
party,--it then risks . What do our
Southern Whigs-the RcpuJiicaa portion
Of the party, we mean-think Of this doc
trlne y In answer, we will give him an
extract or two from Wing paper printed
in Alabama, whose Editor states thai he
belongs to the States Right party, and
then he can see what some think relative
to this subject.
We believe tina; should the planters and /
others concerned, turn their attention TO q |
disquistion Of the matter in i,s various |
ramtications and take liberal, correct, and /
national views of the subject, they would |
soon discover the awful precipice which |
their fortunes are approaching in " double |
quick step;' and cease that cry of "perse. |
cution,' whenever the subject is brought |
up for discussion, of which there is largely |
more shadow and sound, than substance. I
The last national policy in the world which /
we would advocate, is the suicidal one Of I
promoting the interests of one section of
the country 10 the injury of The othor.-
The nearest approximation which we would |
wish 10 make TO the advocating of such I
policy, is that which VIC at present make +
with the favorable part Of it on tho side Of T
ie Southern planter, and the main object of
our remarks and solcitudc is for the pro.
motion and future support Of their interests,
while the advancement Of the Northern
facturer's interest is merely incidental
The foregoing remarks form a prelude TO
tho reasons why we are directing the at
tention Of those engaged in the cotton
growing trade to be aroused TO a sense Of
their situation in relation TO il, as a means
Of employing their capital to advantageous
ends. While it is to be regretted that
there is about TO arise another obstacle to
free trade, VIC should not forget our own
safety but seize time by the forelock,

TIE PROTECTIVE TARIFF-AGAIN.
In our last two Nos. we have expressed
o,,r opinion Of the Cousiitutionality of this
r,easure and Of our belief that it was the
true policy Of this Country. Mr.. Clay in
his late Speech refers to this measure as
The doctrine Of 1850, yet at this time those
vino favor such measure is considered
10 be out of the pale of political orthodoxy.
II is charged upon the Wing party
that they are now in favor of a high pro-
,ectiye tariff--this is not the case, they
are now willing to abide by the comprom-
;se act. In our reference TO this measure
some of the Wings took up the idee that
re we're for a high protective tariff aud
