Of having their tickets at the different PRE-

name upon the ticket unless ordered 10 do
70. II our democratic friends wish us to

SOME OF THB EFFEcTs OF THE IARIFF.--Ihe
Georgia Journal of the 25'h ult., gives the
following notice of the practical effects Of
the Tariff. This plain statement of facts is
worth more than dozen columns of windy
speculations and day-dreams of demagogues:
At retail, in this place, very good CORES
is selling at ten pounds for one dollar, and
SUGAR eieUen pounds for one dollar!
Not more than eighteen months ago, Cor
FEE was selling fire pounds for one dollar and
SUGAR sir pounds for dollar!
In tho consumption of these two articles,
we ask the Loco Focos wherein does the
Wing Tariff injure the people!
LOAF SUGAR, that used 10 sell in this place
at IS cents q pound, can now be bought al
IA cents a pound!
Does the Tariff prove disadvantageous
here! m sea
\ In the same proportion is thereduetion o.
price on other necessaries. Now, when we
compare the effects of the Wing Tariff with
1.-THE effects Of the Tariff when Van Burer
was President, on which side is the result
most favorabe4
These are facts for the people: They al
know them 10 be 60! And one fact. will
thems should outweigh an hundred asser
tons that cannot be proven true.

Intelligence, theii industry, Sobriety and gem

In the recent iettar Of Mr.. Clay to tho ed
tors of the 6 Tennessee Stale .agricuEfRrist, :"
which we copied into our last paper, the
above paragraph could not fall to attract al
tention, and repnblish il, ia order that tho
liberal and catholic views of its enlightened
aulhormay be the more generally known.
I Than HENRY. CLAY, there is no man in
this country who more cordially despises
those distinctionsin society, which would-be-
aristocTats sometimes attempt TO create, but
/ which all men Of enlarged and comprehen-
sive views repudiate as the offspring Of little
mnds--the paintings of groVelling spirits,
who, conscious Of their own want of intel
lectual calibre, would have others defer to
them, because Of their possession of.wealtn,
or because Of their occupying, by inherit-
ance, rank in society which they never
leOuld have reached by their own personal
| exertions.
i 1t has ever been one of the brightest traits
mated human character by its intrinsic, and
not by its GdUeRtittOus worth. By him al
men, be their calling what it may, are es
teemed according to their respective merits
and whether the visiter at Ashland be pro
ttessiOnal nlan--G man Of tOeGLtb--G mechanic
or lGborer, each is treated with the same
courtesy and kindness. So cordial, so un
ostentatious, so warm-harted and sincere arr
the welcome Of all, that it is impossible to b
there five minutes before each feels himsel
perfectly disembarrassed and at home; TO
where the host evinces, by the urbanity Q
; his manners-by his ,unfeigned attentions L
! all, that distinctions, not founded upon su
, peFior virtue, are repulsiVe 10 his nature
those who partake Of his hospitality forge
for the time their own prejudices, if the
4 have any, and hail those around his gonerou
: board as equals and brethren. This dsporI
r ment Of Mr.. Clay is not assumed for effec
but results from the native impulses Of b
heart; he has been frem his childhood up
the present hour the same being, warm
d HE attachments, open, free and social in h
4 habits-lhoss who were the companions an
: friends Of his youth retain the same relation
. now as then; neither circumstances nor 70
TUNE having made the least difference in h
department TO those who had claims upon
g early friendship
We have thus endeavored 10 give bri
:. sketch of HENRY CLAY as he Is, and h
y been from early life, and we would ask It
