MIR. CLAWS LETTER.

The last Richmond Enquirer thus closes its
anmadversons on Mr. Clays letter:
This letter strikes at the interests of the South
to propitale the voters Of the North IL the South
be willing to trust such politician, then political
party every thins-our dearest rights and interests
nothing"
And permit US to ask, in all candor, if Mr.
Van Buren's letter does not strike equally direct
" at the interests of the South 7" And we vii
ask further, Of the able editor Of the Enquirer
why it is that Southern men, who profess tc
feel deep concern in the I" interests of the
South" have SO long and so unj Justly prosecuted
SOUTHERN MAN, a, the head Of the Govern
ment, who has certainly accomplished more for
the South, during three years Of his Admins
tration, than any Northern President ever vouch,
safed in eight?
If the politicians of the South niH persist in
running Northern man, Che author of Mr.. V
BIS letter. we risk nothing in saying that the
Southern voters will not trust him. They will
not vote for him. They will vote for the ---
first.
We append, for the information of our read
ers, copy Of letter to the late Hartford Con
vention Federal Webster meeting in New York
written by the Democratic Attorney Genera
of the State, one oil the especial pets of Mr. Van
Buren,, aud as much as any man living in the
enjoyment of his confidence. He is Mr. v BIS

In the House, after the reading of the Journal
OF Yesterday, Mr.. WHITE, of Kentucky, moved
TO correct the Journal, SO as TO make il appear
that his motion was to adjourn for the purpose
of taking up the carpets, instead of simply ad-
journing until Friday next. Messrs. DUNCAN
and WELLER responded to Mr.. WHITE, and sand
that was not his motion, but simply qualifca-
ton. Mr.. WHITE said he knew his molten
better than the gentleman from Ohio, (Mr
WELLrR) Mr.. WELLER said that might be
the case; but he had no objection 10 the
correction, provided il contained the facts,
which was to adjourn so as TO attend the Con

Is THIS THE GAME The Catskill Messenger
says It is informed by Wing from Pfattsyllle,
that a prominent Loco Fcco IN that place assur-
ed him that il Silas Wright should by possibility
be elected, he tcaS to resign, thereby maktng
Gardiner acting Goueraor.
This. many have conceived, is the game
intended to DC played by the Loco Focos, should
they carry the State Van Buren,, It WI! be re-
membered, resigned the GubeEnalorial chair
few weeks after his election, for sea; in the L.
5. Senate; and his friend Wright doubtless
intends, If elected to the Office of Governor, to
resign Immediately, and hold on 10 his seetin the
Senate. Ii this be not MS intention, why does
ne not resign his seat in the Senatel Can II be
.hs, he does no, expect to be elected to the office
Of Governor In this matter there is much iof
reflection on the part of the Loco Focos OF New
York. When they vote for Silas Wright for Go
uernor, do they intend thereby to make Mf. Gar-
diner Governor, and retain S!!as Wight II the
U. 5. Senate That is the question.

Letter from MIR. Clay on the Tariff.


1t will be rccollected that we published, some
time since, the Resolutions of body of Penn
sylyania Loco-Focos, declaring their intention
to abandon Polk on account OF his refusal to
answer their letter requesting his opinions on the
Tariff, 4 copy of the same letter was addressed
to Mr. Clay, on the 3lst uit. and after all hope
of a reply from Mr.. Polk was abandoned. Mr.
Clay promptly returned the following answer
The gentlemen to whom Mf. Clay's letter is ad-
dressed reside in Dickinson, Cumberland Co. Pa.
Let Pennsylvanians read it, and Judge whether
CLAW or Polk is the friend Of the present Tariff :
ASHLAND. 9h Sept. 1874.
Gentlemen / this day received your letter.
addressing two inquiries to me LIST. Are you
in favor OF the Tariff Act OF ls42 And. %.
Would you. If elected, support that ACT es II Is
without modification, or would you be IN favor OF
modifying It.
have SO often gentlemen, expressed my op!n-
ION in favor OF the Tariff OF lSi2, that the only
regret feel is that you should deem II at all ne
cessary TO request any renewed expression Of 1t.
Nevertheless, take pleasure IN complying with
your request, in SAYING that am of opinion that
the Tariff of 1912 has been eminently salutary
that am decidedly opposed 10 its repeal; that
should regard rs repeal as great national ca
lamiiv; and that ! am unaware OF the necessity
of any modification OF II. | am therefore op
posed alike to It's repeal or modification. a fixed
and stable policy is what the country now most
needs, ard sincerely hope that the Tariff Of
lSl2 NAV be majntained, and thus afford q Sc.
curity for that ocsidcratum.

BroOme, t0:,lGnd. riahkuh' i.ia
Saratoga, Schenectady.
Now the County Of Esser viii give at least
700 Wing majority. and every one Of the Coun-
tics here balanced will give something for Clay.
Altogether, the ten Counties here balanced
will give Clay at least 5000 majority. Cayuge'
CoIumbia Dnicaess, Nep. York, Oneida, Onoa-
dagq, Queens, 81. Laurence, Tiosc, TOmpkin&,
Uister and WestcheSter arc estimated to give
Polk 1900 majority. Nowit is our decided con-
vclion that theee twelve Counties will in the ag-
ercga,e give Polk no mslprily at all-certain'y
no, 9 ,0O0--whe CaaUtouque, Erie, Genesec, and
Ontario will give Mr.. Clay full 2, 500 more than
this estimate allows him, and ncaTl ly every Coun-
ty in both lists will do better for Mr.. Clay then
this estimate.
Such is our deliberate conviction. We may
be mistaken, as we and others have been; but
our sources Of information are many and vari.
Gus, and we are sustained by the Judgment of dis
Greet, wenformed men in the several Counties.
In this City, we knoD there can be no majority
for Polk unless obtained by fraudulent and double
voting, and that tie Wings are determined 10
prevent, at whatever cost. We are quite aware
that the aspect Of the canvass here wall DO Vary
much frightened OF darkencd by the result OF the
October Elections, to which are all looking with
such anxious interest. Should PENNSYLVANIA de-
clare for us, the play is over. Should the wings
carry three of the five States then voting-Mary-
land, Georgia, New,Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Ohie-(we don't count Arkansas We shall con-
slider New York safe enough. But should we be
disappointed as cruelty as in 1888, when Mary
land, Ohio and Pennsylvania went against us
and New-Jersey tied and left in dispute,
New York, az then, will sternly and proudly roll
back the ude OF Misrule, and reumlne with
gladness and confident hope the countensnces of
the Wings throughout the Union. She has re-
solved that Henry Clay shall be next President,
and will not be swerved from her purpose.
