questions Of the day. Other political questions do

measure. 1t IS one which large proportion Of the
members Of all parties at the North support IL i.
which great numbers Of men Of all parties at the

on cotton and woolien goods were more favorable n

goods, which are generally worn by the Iabo,,ne
classes, were much ligher taxed in proportion Ia
their value than the woolen cloths worn by the arts

which both Wings and Democrats may entertain

AN IMPORTANT CONFESSION.

We find the following editorial confession in
this mornings Inellgencer;
"An ob-ervant friend suggests 10 u. that there is
no fact that speaks loudly in favor Of the polcy
which il Is knuwn MIR. CLAY will pursue in the adj
ministraon Of public affairs II placed the head OF
the Government, than the effect produced in Wall

from Aucus ions in the market and would be de-

An mmed ate rise takes place in the value Of real es-
tate and Government stock whenever intelligence
reaches Wall street Of Wing success in an election,
and ]. corresponding faA whenever the Locofocos
gain the ssceDdency."
One Of the deductions from the above, is the
fact that British capitalists are the losers by the
success Of the Democracy, and gamers by Wing
success.
Such an admission as this gives the lie at
once to the fabricated charge that the Dem O.

way, will get some l50,0 900 votes in the United
States,) and have nothing TO do with "either of
the slave-hodipg candidates. We, therefore,
shall expect, if this be so. that the Democracy
will carry the Stale for Col. Polk by 10000 ma

If they shall prove faithful TO Bney, the club
designed by Messrs. Adams, Webster, &c, to

lation was, that the Wing converts TO the Lber-
ty party could be recalled at pleasure to support
the Wing candidate for the Presidency, and
that the Democratic converts could be enliced
to follow them in. This is the way wild ele-
