Every man says of course that his own views are

and reducing he duties to the rates at which they
were on the 30th of June, 1872 40 per cent.

Kane he is for it nnp. Thus we have Mr.. Clay,
and Mr.. Polk both fixed as to the precise amount
of duty they are for on every article in the whole

have Mr. Clay's BILL and take the tariff as it stood
on the Both Of June, 1912, co per cent. hori-

knows, that ne whole population Of this country,
white and black, according to the census tables
only doubles itself in twenty-five years, or quad
ruples in fifty !; he knows that even that rate Of
increase, which is seven fold less than he repre-
SCENTS that Of the free blacks to be, is the wonder
of the world and he knows further, that our four
fold increase Is mainly owing 10 foreign emigra-
ton, without which it would fall to threefod in
fifty years. Hence, a priori, Mr.. Walkers cal
culaton is both stupid and ridiculous, and is well
calculated to make up an issue between his vera
city and his understanding one Of them
must go by the board.
But we have also the evidence of fact which
will at once serve to expose his error, and explain
the ground Of it. # # &&fEtS
1t is true, that in 1890 there were about $4,000
free blacks in the free States named by Mr. W.,
and that in 1910. the same States, including, per-
haps, Ohio and Michigan, contained l4S,O00 free
blacks. But Mr.. Walker has overlooked or pass
ed by the material circumstance, that in 1870,
there were about $4,000 slaves in those States,
which. being since liberated, they, with their
increase, constitute the bulk of the present num-
Der of l46,O0O. The increase, therefore, instead
of being eleven to one, has been less than three
to one, as is apparent by adding together the
number of slaves and free blacks in the States
enumerated in 1890. Their number united be-
ing about fifty thousand, threefold increase
would amount to 100000 which exceeds the
actual increase.
To suppose that Mr.. Walker should have over
looked fact of SO much Importance, and SO noto-
rious as the existence Of Urge number Of slaves
in the free States at the period of $780, and their
subsequent liberation, is to suppose him extremely
ignorant. And if he did know the fact, to have
passed it by in his calculation betrays reckless
ness of truth and honor which would fit him for
companionship with his imagined hordes of
prisoners, whom he represents as filling the
northern jails and penitentiares. But common
sense should have taught him to resist his con-
clusion without knowledge Of the historical fact.
We adverted to this, among the thousand false
hoods which the Texas treaty has generated, for
the purpose Of illustrating their character, and
have gradually been led farther in our remarks
than we designed.

his former acts and declarations for his present
opinions, Now, sir, might not George McDuffie,
John &. Calhoun or the verest anti-tariR multi
fer in the South, sign this letter without the
slightest compromment In fact Mr. Polk has
uniformly went with the South against the pro-
tectlve policy ; he is with them now, and they
are with him. During the whole of his Ia years
servl.e in Congress he never--never once voted
10 increase, but always to reduce the tariff. |
defy his friends to point out single instance to
the contrary. m
Mr. Polk says he is for tariff for revenue suh-
clent to defray the expenses of Government--so
is Mr.. Calhoun. He says 81 have heretofore
sanctioned such moderate discriminating duties
would produce the revenue needed;' he voted
for the tariff of 1882, he only tariff bill he ever
voted for in his life, except the compromise bilD
and why did he vote for it? He tells you in his
