ticular friends and supporters of MIR Clay
and one absent.
Mr. White a wing senator from Indiana,
openly thanked the democratic senators
for their aid in passing the bill-declar-
ing, before the vote was taken, that
wHhom Mcir rOies, Congress rouH haze
to adjourn wihom giri"g any rerenuc to
The goc0mmc0i."
Hear also what Mr. Webster said at
Fancuil Hall, in 10, in reference to this
very matter:
"But let US BIZ just. The French rhet-
Orleans have maxim, which allirms
that there is nothing beautiful which is
not true. And am we'll assured that
some Of our jubclant orators would not
well stand the test of this canon of criti-
cism. (Chccrs.) IL is MT true that The
Tariff system mas passed by the whigs a.
lone.
1--WE all know that mare than thirty
some ofthcm leading and influential whigs
VOTED AGAINST THE TARIFF,
out and out, on all questions, direct and
indirect, After all, it passed the House
of Representatives by single vote, Aid
there is good deal of cclat supposed to
attend, and no little parade, because
somebody came forward to rescue, as it
is called, the question with single vote:
But had not every other gentleman that
single vote? Your neighbor who repre-
sents the Middlcsex district, (Mr Par
mentcr, the loco loco) rotcdt for the Tariff
mot coming to the rescue-but steadily
out and out supporting it, from the begin
ming to the end lie held that a single
vote was as efficient in his hand, as if he
had the Presidential veto. CHEERS. y
| And how was it carried in the Senate
Why, by single vote again. Now we
all know that Without the votes Of the two
senators from Pennsylvania, Mr. Williams
of Maine, and Mr. Wright, of New York,
it could not have been passed. 1t is u
truth that is more favorable to the cause
THAT \ LARGE PROPORTION
OF THE OPPOSITE PARTY CAME
IN TO HELP THE TARIFF THRO',
AND TO RESCUE IT FROM THE
INSTABILITY OF MERE PARTY
SUPPORT"
OrPln letter written by VIM. w, IT.
vim, Esq, late member of Congress from
Pittsburg, Pa, to his political friends in
the city of Philadelphia in 1912, he thus
refers to the passage of the tariff law of
that year, Mr. Irwin was chosen as the
WING candidate for Congress, Ivy the
largest ma orily ever given in the district,
and his testimony on the subject will,
doubtless, pass current with wings. Mr.
Irwin said:
"l'hc great unanimity Of sentiment
prevailing amongst the members Of all
parties orthc Pennsylvania delegation, in
both Houses of Congress, who were pres
cnt and voted for the Tariff, is an auspi-
cious omen, SO far as this great state is
concerned. Without her aid the bill w0uH
hare been lost, and in assigning tie credit
far that measure, justice requires that ALL
ShOaM rcccire their share. For whatever
portion | may be entitled, am more than
rewarded by the appreciation of my lel-
low citizens"
They say the democracy are opposed
to the wool,ntercst. Read again and Sec
