Mr.. Clay's principles.

From circular signed by Senator Benton, irs,
published in the missouri Intelligencer, Oct22 IA
Tho principles which would goucrn
Mr.. Clay's administration, ifelected, are
well known TO the nation. They have
been displayed upon the floor Of Con
gress for the last fourteen years. They
constitute u system of AMERICAN policy,
based on the Agriculture and Manufac-
lures Of his own country; upon interior
as we'll as foreign commerce; upon in
ternal as we'll as sea- board improvement; /;
upon the independence ofthe New World
and close commercial alliances with
Mexico and South America. If it is said
that others would pursue the same sys-
TEN, we answer that the founder of q
system is the natural executor of his own
work; that the most efficient protector
Of American Iron, Lead, Hemp, Wool,
and Cotton, would be the triumphant
champion Of the new tariff; the safest
friend 10 interior commerce would be
the Statesman who has proclaimed the
Mississippi to be the Sea OF the West;
the mos, jealous promoter Of Internal
Improvements would be the President
who has triumphed over the President
who opposed the construction of Nation
al Roads and Canals; the most success
ful applicant for treaties with Mexico g.
South America would be the eloquent ad
vocate of their own Independence.

Congress- bill has been introduced
INTO the House of Representatives for
the immediate occupation and lorma-
ton of a territorial government in Ore
gon, giving 640 acres of land TO new set
tiers, with l6O TO each child.
The bill TO reduce the rates OF The
present tariff it is thought will pass the
House, and is not without strong hope in
the Senate. We are free to confess the
opinion that the present tariff rates as a
whole ought TO be reduced The fact
that prices have fallen is attributable TO
other causes than protection, according
to the bes, logic we are master of, how
ever obvious it may appear that compe-
,ition al home may be adequate Of itself
TO reduce prices. The main object Of
tariff, revenue, would doubtless be as
much furthcred by red duction in which
protection was regarded less rs pr-
mary object and more as an incident.
while that protection would no, be the
less real or effectual.
