The WIG cAME--CLAY AND THE TAR.
1rr.-It is becoming more and more evil
dent evey day that the federalists intend to
pursue in the coming contest the same
game Of hypocrisy and deception that was
so successful in 1910. They hope TO sue
coed, as they did then, by protesting all
things TO all men, by suiting their princi-
Piles to the different localities and interests
of the country and by advocating in one
portion of the country, measures which
they oppose IN another. In New York.
Massachusetts. Rhode Island, Pennsylva.
MIA, and in fact in every State and section
that is interested in tariff, we find them
making the most loud professions of de-
vo,ions 10 that measure, and insisting that
the manufacturing interests would be un-
safe in any other hands bu. theirs-that
Mr.. Van Buren, and the democratic party
are hostile to the tariff, and in favor of
free trade The Advocate of this city,
has over and over again appealed to the
people to support Mr.. Clay on account OF
his tariff, principles. Now. we pretend
no. to claim that the democratic party is
alone friendly TO that measure; or that the
manufacturing interests would be guarded
and protected with more care by DEM
ocratic administration than would the 9TH
er interests of the country. We have all
ways. commended that it would be most
suicidal act on the part Of the friends of
American industry to attempt TO give that
question party bearing; and that they
would never be able TO realize its benefits
if it was once connected with the fierce
struggles for political ascendancy which is
constantly waging by the two great parties
Of the country. But we have heretofore
endeavored to expose the hypocrisy of the
federalists in assuming 10 be the exclusive
friends of tariff. II is an impudent and
shameful at,emp, TO again mislead the PEG.
pie, and, We venture TO say, it will be re-
buked at the polls. The following from
leading wing paper. will show how much
right Mr.. Clay has to be considered the
tariff candidate, and how very sincere his
friends in this quarter are in urging his
election on that score. We quote from the
Richmond Wing:
The fact that Mr.. Clay IS more Of a
Free Trade naa1-advocate as he is of a
wise and reasonable tarif-that Mr.. Van
Buren-is becoming generally known TO
the people Of the south. His letter to DR..
Bronson Qhe Georgia letter. in conse-
quence of the unjust criticisms of the loco
focos, and their vile attempt to show that
it is consistent with Mr.. C's former opin-
ions, has had the effect of bringing this
fact to the knowledge of thousands, who
formerly were not aware Of it,
Mr.. Clay's own letter, it will be seen,
has had the effect Of bringing his free trade
principles to the knowledge Of thousands
who formerly were not aware Of Them
How his supporters in this quarter can,,in
sist that Mr.. Clay is tariff man. in the
teeth of his own positive declaration TO
the contrary, will doubtless appear mar.
vel to those who are not acquainted with
the dishonesty and deception that has ev-
er been practised by the federal leaders

To-day. beyond doubt, the Houses will
begin seriously to work. And we'll they

desired that they may, on the LIST of June.
