 What a useful auxiliary the sonb;". 3sn' be to the cause of whiggery, were et \, living among us; and even as if; ,s cimens of his arguments left upon r.a as ford the coons the raw material w;t ;I'01 \ they might weave an ample sunnls @ syllogisms. If we ask whie lFs Wbst a.s levied on yard of cheap impo,tsd ai ] the cost of which, for instance is s'0 s; he will answer thirty. If you then 'a A.. how a duty of thirty per cent. laid nna. p cents can yield mine cents 2 then sa, r:a muscles of his tongue are put in moSa one might as well attempt to hold a ' ment with a swarm of gnats. Heis ever, finally compelled to admit tb, l thirty per cent. is levied upon the njn;.l which is thirty cents, This device, mi of thirty per cent, amounts to ia, m actual value of one hundred and flv ] cent.
 If we put the question, Why not then d openly to the point, dispensing with &. suitical minimum, which is at best bu,. deceitfully woven to conceal dishopestr impose at once an honest ad calOon B l50 per cent, we receive no rational .D,.

 There are, in the whig tariff seveaII ures, "which, to be hated, needs but p seen." For instance rich man eu1 a dollar in the purchase of cotton. man, in expending an equal sum in ih chase of cotton of an inferior qualily,s. pelled to pay five times the amount of that the rich man pays on his. If the man, on his dollar purchase, pays dg 30 cents, the poor man, on his doua chase, pays a duty of l50 cents Th ture of the tariffneeds no comment; Ia Clay's mouth, it speaks for itself"
 The truth is, this whig tariff stana an inverted cone-on its apex instead base. After undergoing some judcios diications, it should be turned end From its numerous fallacies and incOla cies l would, in concluding, select one It consists in calling tax raised from q sumed minimum, an dd uatorem duty.
 in the proyiso to which l allude, a du 30 per cent, levied on the minimum, cents, is nine cents which the frames an ad ralorem duty of thirty per cat Certainly this is not true, unless thg make It appear, by the minimum jnggs six cents, the actual value, and thirty the fictitious value, are one and hs} thing. Instead of nine cents, the ad n duty of thirty per cent. would amoa only one cent and eight mills nine cents would require an ad yalOrn of l50 per cent.
