The +" Calhoun County Patriot" is evil
den.ly the leading organ Of Locofocoism
or Bogus democracy, in the interior of
Michigan, and we therefore take pleasure
ia contributing our humble labors to ex-
tend knowledge Of its fairness, lis vera
city, and its regard for truth, as widely
as possible. For this purpose, We copy
entire its leading editorial, under date Of
the ll,h instant. 1t reads as follows:
CLAY AND PROTECTION.
SOUTHERN FACE.
Henry Clay is an anti-Proieciionist at
the South. la all his Southern letters
aud speeches he opposes protective tar
if, aud declares his adherence 10 his
Compromise Act. This Compromise Act,
as every body knows. reduced all duties
10 The dead level OF 20 per cent, and repu-
dated the idea Of protection. Yet We
fearlessly declare, aud defy ref'ta,ion,
that Mr.. Clay IS a, this present time an
advocate of the Comprmise Act, and a
believer in its doctrines. Here ere his
own words upon this point. lie. every
Wing who is about TO vote for a man
whom h. 5espises, but whom he sup
ports because he honestly believes tar
if would be a blessing, read them, and
Judge how much he can depenj upon
Henry Clay.
"Carry out the principles Of the Com
promise Act. Look to revenue alone

since. Mr.. Clay said that.
Influenced by desire 10 avert the
coming danger. anxious TO perpeiua'e the
Union, and give peace to distracted
country, be had brought forward the
Compromise Act, aud aided IN i;s passage.
Ia his subsequent life. he had adhered 10
rs provisions. and SHOULD DO so IN
FUTURE"
During his present eleclIoneering tour
in the South. he has been invited to visit
Tuscaloosa, Alabama. but he declined.
He, however, wrote them letter avow-
ing his adherence to the low tariff doc

Loud and long has been The wal. Of
Whigeery at the alleged perfdy of
John Tyler. Now evny wing knew,
or might have known. before election, that
John Tyler was utterly opposed to U.
s. Bank fr his declaration Of unwav-
ering hostility to the Bank was publish
ed again and again : but they obeyed the
dictates of their leaders, voted for the
man and elected him, and now ihey curse
him for doing exactly what he said he
would do. Gulled and bambouzled. as
they were before, they are endeavoring
to prepare jus, such another dose for
themselves. They say they want tar

Clay, who was the father of the Gem
