however has never taken the life of an enemy /;
but on the contrary, has won on the "held OF hon
or" the admiration of friends and enemies for his
fairness and magnanimity.
But who is it that brings this charge against
Mr.. Clayl Who but the supple, cringins, I'M
principled instruments of General Jackson's tow
ering ambition? Who but the mean, fawning
fatterers of the man who has SENT in single com
bat, two of his lellow-creatures TO the grave? No
language can describe the baseness of Kendall
and Blair in reference TO this charge. Amos
Kendall is now writing the life of General Jack
son, which he publishes monthly, in which he
lauds his hero for the murder OF Dickinson, after
the latter had fired? The pious knave speaks OF
the cool courage of Jackson upon this occasion,
who boosted afterwards that " he had LEFT the damn
ed rascal lceltering in his blood" This hoary hyp-
pocrite, and snperanuaied party hack, after heap
ing praises upon the murderer of Dickinson and
Robards, turns upon Mr.. Clay with the charge OF
being duellist. "Oh, for whip in every hon

ting Tariff and the Compromise. he yo-
ted for the latter. As to Mr.. CLAY, it is
in proof that he was driren TO the CON-
promise by the course of POLK AND
THE LOCOFOCO PARTY; and that
he took not a single step, until it was rem
dered absolutely necessary to save the
Tariff from utter destruction, and the
country from civil war. Clay was then
the friend of Protection - Polk was its
enemy Clay then proposed, as COM
promi Use, moderate reduction of duties,
to end in mime years with 20 per cent.
and to this he proposed 10 add, in 1912,
the home valuation and cash duties,
which is equal to 10 per cent, and the
amount of protection after 1912 would
thus have been 80 per cent Polk urged
a reduction to Is per cent. in ftco years !
and insisted upon it until Mr.. Gays sue
cess in the Senate compelled him to
succumb. Their relative positions are
still the same as in 1888.

Thomas III BENToN-We cannot repress
the admiration we feel for the recent bearing
of Col. Benton. The Carolina DisunioniSts
have undermined and beaten him with their
new Texas conspiracy-they have worsted
him in the Presidential contest and probably
cut him of from the succession--they have
obtained the lead of the party which they
have only belonged TO some six or seven
years, while he has been its Ajax in the Sen
ate since lo27-they have probably destroyed
but they cannot conquer nor cover him. He
looks them as sternly in the eye as ever, and
is prepared to do battle with them at any no.
tice, no matter at what odds. His reioinder
TO McDuflie on Saturday night is represented
by those who heard it as most withering.-
He laid bare the secret springs of private
speculation and political treachery which have
given life to the cry Of Immediate Annexa-
ton he showed that the men who fomented
this plot were impelled by the most sOrdid
motives, and bent on gratifying their ambi-
ton even at the cost Of destroying the Union.
He told them on closing that they need not
exult TO confidently i'll their i'll got victory,
for he should meet them at Philippi-that he
should oppose their intrigues with voice and
pen, and if need be with sword in hand, and
die defending the Union.
A murmur ofapplause ran through the gal
leries which could not be restrained. Gen.
Clmch of Ga. who happened to be in the Sen
ate, could not resist the impulse to 90 up to
the dauntless Senator, and grasping his hand, p
tell him that he should stand proudly by his
side in defence of the Union.
Mr.. Benton turned to JoHS QUlNCY AD-
ANS, who had taken seat behind him TO lis
ten 10 this debate, and taking his hand said,
Mr. Adams, you are passing off the stage,
and am passing away also, but while we
live we will stand by the Union!"
The Nation responds to this sentiment.
There is a good deal of buster, at Wash
inglon and at ST. Louis, about turning Mr.
Benton out Of the party but the Disunion-
lists will consult the better part of valor.-
They would cut au interesting figure i'll the
Senate, after reading out of the party THoM-
AS II. BENTON and SILAs WRIGHT for resist
ing their Texas iniquity.

TARIFF OR NO TARIFF.

This is one of the great questions to be de-
cided in the coming contest. Mr.. Benton
said in his speech in the Senate in March last,
that the Tariff was the question which was
to be decided by the people in the choice OF
President" So far as this single issue is con-
cerned there can be no lodging it.
MIR. Polk is anti-tarif. His doctripe upon
this issue the Charleston Mercury says us
SOUTHERN TO THE BACK BONE"
Polk is supported as an anti-tarifr man BY
Senator Allen, Of Ohio, who on the 3lst of
May introduced resolution in the U. S.
Senate declaring, that &" The duties imposed
by eristing ldsrs on imp0rtGtionS are unjust
and ought TO be reduced.
Polk is supported as an anti-tarifr man hy
the eighteen Locofoce Senators who voted
for the above resolution, and is opposed as an
antI-tariff man by the twenty-three Wing SEN
ators, who voted against the above resolu
ton.
Polk is supported as an anti-tariff man by
5. Wright Of this State, who voted to declare
the very bill he voted to pass, as unjust and
that the duties under it ought to be reduced.
Polk is supported by those who sustained
the Black Tariff Bill Of Mr.. Mckay, TO de-
stroy protection and to sacrifice the free labor
of the North to the cupidity Of the Slave-dri-
wing aristocracy of the South, for the sake of
keeping this free trade faction in good humor
and securing its votes for this Loeofoco candi-
date for the Presidency.
He is supported for the Presidency by the
Locofoco committee who adopted this Black
Tariff Bill.
He is supported for the Presidency by Mr..
Mckay, who reported this bill to the House.
lie is supported for the Presidency by the
lob Loco Focos, whose votes brought this
bill before the House for action.
He is supported by those who advocate that
unjust and iniquitous bill, and every advo-
cate is a LocofOco.
And what are the opinions of Polk in rela-
ton TO the present tariff, under the operation
of which every branch of industry is flourish
ing! They may be seen by the following ex-
tract from the Nashville Union, the organ OF
Messrs. Jackson and Polk:
ave wish it to be borne in mind, that the
oppressive Tariff Of 1872 has been Condemn
ed by every true Democrat. and by none
more decidedly than Mr.. Van Buren,. THAT
ITS PROVISIONS ARE VIEWED

years ago, this quantity would scarcely sup

comes unavoidable, that very large proper
ton of what is sold as imported spirits must
be ''doctored" in our own country. This is
especially certain when we are assured that
for many years before, this business has been
very extensively carried on.

of instances in which these empty casks

MR.. CLAY's MORAL CHARACTER

Amos Kendall, Blair, and other blackguards
and knaves, the conductors of Locofoco presses,
who live by calumny and lies, are making great
efforts to prejudice the minds OF the people against
Mr.. Clay. because he has, once or twice in his
life, been drawn into disputes which he felt called
upon TO settle in the mode recognized among gen.
tleman. How stands the easel MI. Clay is a
Southern gentleman-unfortunate the practice
of duelling has hitherto prevailed at the South
and it IS well known that every Southern gentle
man. not member of the Christian church, must
hold himself amenable to the duelling code, or
sacrifice his character and position IN socle-
ty. In obedience to the behests OF pubic opin-
ion. therefore and contrary to his own private
opinions of moral duty, and to the sentiments Of
benevolent heart, Mr.. Clay has been dragged

session, it must be BY some means not

visits in this and other counties, has been to
draw attention to this question. Petitions

applications for the licensing the sale of in

the business was very imperfectly done. In
