CLAW and the Tariff.


The Wabash Express, a Wig paper, says Mr. Clay
stated his speech Indianapolis that he approved OF the
Tariff Let this declaration be compared with
the speech of Nr Clay in the L. Senate last February,
in which he said there Is necessity for protection
Can his pasans, who have much to say about political
consistency aud political eachey reconcile his views on
the Compromise Act anj opinions he expressed at Buffalo
in S39 IN Virginia in $40, and IN the United States
Senate in si2 with his recent declaration at Indianapo
lis Il is absut the time the Wings had appointed
thinking Committee for Mr. Clay, forbid his 'mak
ing any declarations for the public eye unless they
determined to let him sacrifice himself before the
campaign OF 1914 begins.
The declaration of Mr.. Clay at indianapolis will not
prove very satisfactory the Southern Wings who have
declared in his favor the ground that he still adheres
10 the principles of the Compromise Act and is opposed
q Protective Tariff
AT Clay meeting recently held in Putnam county
Georgia the following preamble and resolutions
adopted. Mr. Clay should send to his friends in Georgia
copy Of his speech indianapolis and undeceve
them, If he does not wish to succeed by deception and
lrIckeTy
whereas there appears to be an effort making on
the part of number of disappointed politicians, TO peja-
dice the claims Of Henry Clay for the Presidency by
reri1ing exploded charges against him ; and whereas,
Also believe, Mr.. Clay pledged the spirit Of the
Compromise .lc introduced By himse into Congress
during the great excitement the subject of the Tariff
in 1893
Therefore resorrd l. That the South is under last
ing Obligations TO Mr.. Clay far he Compromise Acf,
and that cannot highly appreciate
when lie noby stepped forward between the two contend
ing parties and offered the olive branch of peace, when
naught heard but the muterings Of stern discon-
tent and resigned his peculiar notions upon the altar
of his country.
Resolued, :. That as a statesman we consider him
pure and interrupted by the gerng prospects of office,
and that deem him tbs time and under ecishng
circumstance the last hope Of the Republic.
Resoted, 3. That re consider him bledged to abide
the spirit of the Compromise Act and that his time

whose influence carry trumphanly the principles
contained ia said act
Resolped, L. That as ,ood citizens, willing
pay any tariff for the purpose Of rereue, but NOT
/ \ CENT FOR PROTECTION"
/ PRoscRIprIoN.-The Wings affect great indigna-
ton at the removal of Mr. Roberts from the Collec-
torsbip at Philadelphia They cali 1t "proscrp tion
for opinions sake and are vifyng the President
by all sorts of misrepresentation but they forget
that Mr.. Granger, while Postmaster General, re-
moved, in the short time from the 18th OF March, tc
the 10th of July, l84I-I3J days-between one and
two thousand Postmasters, while the prince oil
prosecutors and tyrants," Gen. Jackson during the
eight years of his administration, removed only 81

treachery Of the ultra wings. But let us compare
a Little further.
