Here follows declaration emanating from
NettherH sonrce--the Nelo York Courier and
Eaquirer-whOss editor is the bosom friend of
Henry Clay.
"Mr. Clay is the advocate of the principles Of
protection, but OPPOSED TO PROHIBITORY
DUTIES. The Tribune daily advocates ultra
Tariff principles, lthe principles of the present
Tariff TO THE SERIOUS INJURY OF
THE WHIG PARTY AND MR. CLAY"I
Again; ''Taat many parts of the eristiag Tariff
are grossly OPPRESSIVE, and operate INJU-
RIO USLY to epery interest of the country, IS a
mates tchich admits Of NO QUESTION:
As late as November last, Daniel Webster thus
expressed his condemnation of the inequitable
principles of the present Tariff
"Iwish not for large Tariff to encourage man
NfactTers." 81 wish for equitable laws, which
should be drawn with great care, and admins
tered with great impartialty,"
In our remarks preceding these authentic ex-
tracts from Mr., Clay and his friends, we have
faithfully presented the positions assumed by the
aphig politicians Of the north. And what facts
have, We elected, taking all the evidence into
consideration Why, that those politicians are
in favor of system of duties that shall prohibit
ineportations, as is proved in their advocacy of
the present PRoHrBrroRy Tariff; while Henry
Clay, their distinguished candidate, though for
merly the warm advocate of this policy, has re-
Gently declared his opposition to 1t in the stron-
geSt possible terms, and expressed his opinion
that the "EXCESSES and DEFECTS'' of the
present Tariff law SOUGHT TO BE CORREC-
TED by supplemental legislation" He also
avows hmselfin favor of uniform system Of &c
per cent dutics, (he horizontal policy of the com
promise act,) and declares 0EaF"1HERE rs
NO NECESSITY for PROTECTTONr'- -kc(
The New York Courier and Enquirer says he i:
the OPPONENT OF PRoHImToRY TARIFF; anc
Mr.. Riyes, the Richmond Wing, and Savanal
Republican, assert that his views approximate
NEARER TO GREE TRADE" THAN THOSE OF Mr.
VAN BuREN
Such is the relation which the Greeleys ant
Weeds of federal whiggery at the north sustain
to Henry Clay, their ''gallant leader" and can
didate for the Presidency. Is it an honest o
consistent relationship
The wings are fighting in ambush. They con
ceal their real designs. They appeal to the Gu
pidty of different sections fthe country, where
it is supposed there is contrarety of interests
with declaration of views to suit the particula
locality in which they conceive them to be pop
nlar with the people. Hence these contradic
tions and inconsistencies.
IfHenry Clay is elected President of the Uni
ted States, it is impossible to conceive what tn
policy of the administration will be relative f
the Tariff His supporters at the north decla'
ing him the advocate of prohbitory duties; hi
friends at the south avowing him the champio
of very liberal Tariff, lower than that whic
MIR. Van Buren, advocates; himself asserting tha
his views are such as represented by his soutE
ern friends--with these contradictory statement
and antagonisms, how are we to Judge what po
icy he would pursue if elected?
We are sure, however, of one thing--that hi
administration would be governed by PROFL
GATE POLITICIANS, who care less about tn
HONEST INDUSTRY of the country than their ow
PERSONAL GAIN and POLITICAL ADVANCEMENT
and would be very likely to sacrifice the interes
Of the former to subsere the sinister purpose
of the latter Thisi the only manner America
industry would be PROTECTED by the administr
ton under the guidance of Henry Clay and th
federal party.
The truth is, (and it is susceptible ofirrefrag
bic demonstration the democratic party are IL
only honest friends to the encouragement of
merican industry, and who can be relied upon
all times and in all places. They never tri
their sails TO catch the popular breeze, but pu
sue one unvarying course-the path of duty al
patriotism. Their policy is stable and consi
tent one; and for this reason it possesses an in
mite superiority over the never-setled, ever-cha

so strikingly exempliied in the foregoing exp

"that unnerves the arm Of enterprise and indu

The democratic party are in favor of a reve
uc tariff that shall incidentally afford protects
or encouragement to ALL branches of our hon
industry They would so adjust ir as to exte
as much protection to our farmers, mechanic
and laborers, as to the manufacturing capitGIi
