70 We have thus quoted entire the leading ar
ticle in yesterdays Journal Of Commerce, in or
der to exhibit and at the same time correct the
misrepresentation contained therein. We shall
endeavor not to be diseourteous yet there are sone
afirmatons therein in regard to which own
means of information are entirely superior to
those of the Journal, and these points we propose
to touch briefly but decidedly. For example
l. we KNOW it TO be false that Mr.. Clay and
the Wings in Congress did not desire an adjust
ment of the Tariff at this Session of Congress-
Our intercourse with them has, very naturally,
been much more intimate and cordial than that of
the Journal men could have been, and we do posi-
lively KNOW that they were anxious for an endur-
ing settlement of the Tariff at this time first, on
grounds Of public necessity and advantage sec
ondly, from considerations Of party policy so far
| as they were allowed to affect the question.
| .. I'VE KNOW IL to be false that the Di.tribu-
ton clause was inserted in the first two Tariff
bills with the intent of provoking Vetocs from
John Tyler. They were inserted with the simple
intent and purpose of preserving the Land Distri-
ba;ion and thus giving steadiness and stability to
the Tariff. To avoid greatly fuctuating Reve-
nue. and an unsteady Protection was the sole end
in view, and it earnestly, confidently hoped
that Mr.. Tyler would not interpose his Veto on a
mere Revenue question That he did so was no
more the desire than the fault of the Wing, in
Congress.
g. we KNOW it to be false that Mr.. Clay is or

out the past winter, as for years before, he has
coun.eled, urged entreated that the new Tariff
should depart as little from the Compromise
standard as is consistent with the preservation of
the great Producing Interests in jeopardy from
foreign competition. Make your Duties as low
as will answer, and secure their steadness, has
been the burthen Of his advice and exertions in
public and private, through the Session. In his
last great Speech In the Senate, he expressly
urged settlement of the question on the general
principles which the Journal now asserts to be
! the sound one
4. we KNOW 1t 10 be false that the Tariff bill
as it originally passed Congress (before the last
Veto) was not satisfactory to those who supported
it, or that ii WIS shaped with view to party con-
siderations. Two of the ablest and best informed
Committees that could be chosen out of the two
Houses hard at work collecting the tsstirao-
ny of practical men all the points involved for q
good part of the Session. and framing each bill.
The Secretary of the TreasurY-one Of the sound
and best Statesmen and Political Economists in
America-also devoted much time to collecting
testimony and drawing up bill. From these
three bills, the Committee OF Ways and Means
carefully prepared that which was preferred to
