From the Richmond Enquirer
The CAT OUT OF THE BAG!

We republish Mr.. Clay's two letters
10 Mr., Blair, from yesterdays Wing,
along with an Introductory letter from
Mr.. Leigh. We have no time to pre-
pare nor even space to publish in this
mornings paper the principal remarks
which they are calculated to call forth,
The correspondence does not materi-
ally vary from the version which Mr..
Kendall has given of the first Letter
nor does it very much change the COM
mentarles which it has hitherto produ-
ced, nor shake the conviction which
his version and the commentators have
impressed upon our mind. They only
strengthen our beliefin the several pro-
positions, which Mr.. Kendall recently
put forth III the ''Expositor.''
''They show three things, viz:
"fIyst. An appeal to ''his future
interests" by Mr.. Adams friends as a
motive for giving that gentleman his
support,
SECONDLY. That his friends had de-
termlned so to vote, as tie most likely
means Of accomplishing their h:ind aojsh-
eS t030aFd hin
" Thirdly. That Mr.. Clay not only
eoncured with them in this conclusion,
but was secretly engaged in attempt
ing to secure votes for Mr.. Adams,
through Mr.. Blair and Mr.. CrIttenden S
influence over their Representatives,
Mr.. Clay has not published Mr..
Blair's letters to himself-but we
scarcely want them to show the light
in which Mr.. B. viewed the FIRST letter
of Mr.. Clay, at the time he recsiped It,
What he told Kendall and Dudley,
on receiving it, constitutes what the
books call "contemporaneous expo
sition" Of the letter. He told Mr.. Ken
dali, that Of Mr.. Adams were elected,
he would make Mr.. Clay Secretary of
State'' he told Mr.. Dudley, "that
If Mr.. White could be induced to vote
for Mr.. Adams, he a.. would obtain
the cote Of Kentuckr, and Nth 1t the
votes Of most Of the Western States,
achich acoald elect ham; IN ao}tich case,
Mr.. Clay would receive the appoint
ment Of the Secretary Of State" Up
on this idea, Messrs. Blair, Crittenden
and others acted, when they wrote to
White, to induce him to vote for Mr..
Adams-Upon this idea, Mr.. White
did cote, when he votsd for Adams: be-
cause, he says in his letter to the Frank
fort Argus, Of June, 1928, sThat |
was confirmed in my vote by their
suggestions, do freely acknowledge,
and therefore, as ! have heretofore

The duty then could not have amounted to
more thau 81 900 On the article of cotton i'm
ported, and amounted to less on other articles
imported similar to those largely exported from
this country. The duty Of three cents on for
eign cotton, and the duty imposed on beef,
pork, -four, wheat. and oats, are Of no benefit
to the planters and farmers, while they are of
great injury to the mercantile and shipping in
terest of the country. \ large amount Of the
cotton raised in Texas, which is shipped direct
ly TO Europe in British vessels from Galveston
would be introduced in the United States, and
thense shipped in American vessels to Europe,
If it were not for the einbarrassments arising
out Of the duty, by entries in the custom hous-
es, for the drawback, and then the delays in
foreign ports in obtaining the necessary certiii-
Gates, by the exhibition Of which the deben-
lures are granted. 50 absurd was this duty
considered during the last session Of Congress,
that in the Tariff bill introduced by MIR Me
Kay raw cotton was made duty free. And it
is to be hoped that when the blaci, Tariff is
modified, such deceptive feature will not be
permitted 10 disgrace Tariff for revenue only

tain. That if by seeing them, we
sould have cleared Mr.. Clay Of what
the Richmond Wing is pleased to term

impressions, which the publication Of
these Letters has produced upon our
mind. We repel, wifi. the sron ard
defiance which it deserves, the imputa-
tons Of the Richmond Wing. We tell
him boldly, that we would have scorned
to do what Henry Clay did in 1926
that no man, who coolIy and properly
appreciated what was due to bis coun-
try, or to himself, would have stopped
to convert such a crisis to his own
emolument, We tell him too, that, We
earnestly advised Mr.. Clay against ia.

saw the cloud of imputations, in which
he would involve his own character by
so indecent, undignided and suspicious
4 course.

FOREIGN NEWS.
LIBERATION OF O'CONNEL.

- The unexpected termination of the
inquiry into the legality of Mr.. O'Con-
nelI's Imprisonment and his liberation,
have been the most prominent occur
rences since our last. The result is
different to what had been anticipated
by the traverses, Or their most conf
dent friends, as well as BY the Govern
nent. Its in direct opposition to the
opinions of the Judges.
The law lords who voted for the re-
versal Of the sentence were. Lord Dens
man, Lord Cottenham and Lord Camp
bell; those who voted against it were
the Lord Chancellor and Lord Brougk-
am. Lord Langdale was absent; but
it is understood that if he had attended
he would have voted with the majori-
ty. -.
The news of the reversal of. the
judgment on Mr. O'Connel and his
companions was received in Dublin a.
about five O'clock on Thursday eve
ming, the 9th of September. Immedi-
ately on the arrival of the steamer at
Hingstown, the whole population was
thrown into state of indescribable ex-
element, "O'Conneil is free, ''was
uttered by thousands of voices, as the
people DANCED about in almost frantic
JOY. At Dublin the same scene was
exhibited, but on a more extended
scale. At night, tar barrels were ligh-
ted 10 many parts Of the city, and had
it net been for the interference of some
Of the leaders, general illumination
would have taken place.
Mr.. O'Conpell is said to have re-
ceived the intelligence of his release
without betraying the least emotion of
surprise. Great numbers of his friends
waited upon him to offer him their con-
gratuIations.
On Friday eveniug,the order for the
discharge of the prisoners arrived, and
at sexen O'Clock Mr.. O'Connell, lean
ing upon two Of his sons, left the pris7s
on ON foo, and proceeded accompanied
by an immense assemblage, to his
house in Merton square, The other
prisoners subsequently, left the Peni-
Tertiary, and were loudly cheered r..
The liberation of O'Connell and his
fellow-prlsoners has produced an ex-
element in all parts of ireland far
surprising the enthusiasm of Tara and
Mulagmast, Or any 6ther of the mon
ster meetings. The long cherish
ed impression that, Notwithstanding
his late imprs onment, Mr.. O'Con-,-
nell was still ingulnerable to ;Ae,. law.
has derived a greater impulse from The.
reversal Of its sentence than il had be-

nine months of 1912 there were exported q
U. States cotton in value $40, ll9 sos, and
that there We're imported of foreign cotton, in
value 1886, 100; from which we must deduct
the amount Of foreign cotton exported and en-
titled to drawback, $354,l88. The amount

DUTIES FOR PROTECTION OF
AGRfCUITTJPE.

Wing papers in Georgia, and especially the
Southern Recorder, have had the boldness to
assert that agricultural produce is as much pro-
tected by the Tariff of 1912 as the produce of
domestic manufacturers. We gave, at the
time, some statements in reply to those asser-
tons, which plainly demonstrated that the du-
ty imposed on cotton, beef, pork, and other Co
nestle produce, was a deception and fraud
Since that time, we have received copy of
the statement Of the commerce and navigation
of the United States, during the nine months
ending June 80, 1913, transmitted by the Sec
Rotary Of the Treasury to Congress at its last
session. From the volumnous tables contain
ed IN this statement, we have made the follow
ing extracts, to show what kind of protection
Is afforded to the agricultural interest of the
country, and how reckless are those writers
and advocates of the Tariff, who assert that
the farmers and planters are protected equally
with the manufactures
We will begin with the article of cotton.

country cut Of the Union, not in it, it is diff
terent question, and shall desire, as | do de-
sire, that that great question, which has no
business to be connected with our party poli-
ti3s--had none at its introduction at Washing
ton, legitimately in my Judgment such
question should first be placed before the in
telligent freelnen of the country, discussed be
fore them, and decided BY them. There it is
now. There cheerfully let it rest do be-
! lieve that in certain national points of view
the annexation Of Texas would be important
to the Unlon-that our southern border would
be improved and strengthened and secured
1t is a question which public opinion should
pass upon, aad their servants should obey that
opinion and viii. Candor requires that
[ should so step further. From the
observation have made-andI have
endearored to make it calmly, and
without prejudice or bias-l believe
there is a growing inclination among
the people Of this country to extend
our border in that direction. And [
have now little doubt that if we live in
that quiet and prosperity which we
hope for, but a few years will pass O.
yer until we shall see the Union indis-
putably and believe peaceably and
honorably embracing both Oregon and
Texas. As to the Oregon territory, I
have no more doubt Of our right to it,
than have that New York is a part
of this Union. ! have therefore acted
uniformly acted = as your represen-
tative, in favor Of putting an end to the
common occupancy between US and
England, and extending at once our
power and jurisdiction over that coun-
try. It would not be offensive if her
neighborhood on our northern bor-
der should be satisiactory-but |
have no desire to extend it on
our west CT to turn it round on
the south, if she should reach over
to Texas. 1t is on such grounds that
we should think Of and discuss this
great question Of Annexation. And
well do | believe that when any Euro
pean power should be seen attempting
to colonize thereto set up another
power on that border to disturb our
quiet-that there will be but ore SEN
timent among the democratic party,
and a large minority Of the wing par
ty-and that is that we have enough of
this neighborhood. My opinion of our
duty is, that it will be wisely dischar-
ged if we attend carefully and practi-
cally to all the great questions which
SO deeply concern the Union as it IS
Let US secure them-secure the equal
ity and perpetuity of over the land which
thestars and stripes now unquestionably
and rightfully float; and wher we have
done that, through the result of this
contest, by putting our government in
the hands Of the patriotic men whose
names wave over my head T"polk
and Dallas" then letus take Oregon,
which IS ours, and Texas, if we choose,
on proper and honorable terms,
Mr.. w. here left the stand, under
hearty and prolonged cheering.
