case now, il will be papably 80 when Mr. Clay
retires This event wl lnke place next week
and after that Mr. Tyler's Prime Minister will be
as openly and publicly the head Of the tariff par
ty as he 10 now actually aud coyorty SO. This is
a fact for the public mind to take possession of
and to dwell upon. The public complains of the
inaction OF Congress- yet what is gong on P
Endless tariff speeches. and endless measures 70
create n necessity for tariff, and all this from the
Whiggies. They are for turiff'-they are Tor tax
es--they ARE for loans-hey are for the land bill.
All these measures occupy Congress, and they are
all Wing measures, and the Whegies, mot the
Democrats) are responsible for them. The Wings
conduct the measures and what are the meas
ures which they promote? They are tariff, first
and above all, and then every thing that leads to n
tariff, and because it leads to tariff. They IRE for
loans, because it leads TO tariff; they are for tax
es because they lead to tariff; they for Treas
ury notes and Exchequer bills, because they lead
to tariff; and they are for the land bill, above all,
because more than all, il leads fastest to the grand
ultimate object high tariff. Thus high tariff is
the absorbing object in Congress. Either direct
and openly or indirect and coverly it is the grand
object of the Wings and Mr.. Tyer's first minister
is the potential chief OF the party We repeat il !:
this is strange state of things, but not more
strange than true. The Democracy alone oppose
the high tariff: the Clay and the Webster Wigs
rival ench other in its support, but the latter being
most interested are the most prominent, sctve,
and powerful in its support; and thus the Al
ministration, whatever may he the private feelings
Of Mr. Tyler is the actual and potential head Vi
the high tariff party now in Congress.

National Bank That they will concentrate Hpor
some Wing, good and true, and upon some neus
ure Of Currency Reform, we most ardenlly hope
In this we pray the locos may not be disnppont
ed but as 10 The man, the W higs Wilt be over
hasty in deciding the question. Mr. Clay has ar
dent and influential friends; so has Gen. Scott
and others still but it does not therefore follow
that either of these will finally be the candidate o
the Wing party. That question is not yet settled
