Polk as to a Protective Tariff. were Identical, and
that Mr. Polk being an anti. Bank man, they
should certainly vote for him. BY this time the
audience was about equally divided between
Wings and Loco Fucos, and there was about as
much cheering for Clay and Frellnghuyscn as Tor
their opponents. Ae soon As Mr.. Williamson

him gn on he would not attempt to answer what
he had already said After Mr.. Wheplcy had
shown that the Tariff had been created by Wing
votes and sustained Wing votes, the only re.
Div Mr. Williams could make was that Daniel
Webster had declared in Faneuil Hall that the
Democrats had done much to get the Tariff as
The Wings, and certainly Daniel Webster's opin-
ION must havea as great or greater weight than Ed
ward W. Whelpley. Of Morris Town. This created
a great laugh three cheers were given for Polk
and Dalles, three for Clay and Frenghuysen,
