He has always been the consistent advocate of PROTECTIVE TARIFF. and the cause of tthe Whigs has always been unidentified with that of the New England manufacturer, who aims at requiring mocNpoly of the home market blythe aid of pro. hibatory duties. Nor can we wonder that such IS the policy of the most respectable and intelligent stateAaaen of America, when we consider'that by txao in attempt to negotiate commercial arrangement on the footing of fais and sabstGafiGI reciprocity.
