81 sealed letter rom Il address" viii not
bs particularly troubled in disposipg 81 The
.urplus which vii be Oh hand a. the end Of
the fiscal year. C Mr.. PoLK's administra.
ton costs the government as much annually
as Mi. VAN BUREN' s, instead of seeing how
low the tariff can be reduced, the Secretary,
il he has q just regard for the obligations Of
his county, will be much better engaged
in examining the present tariff, for the pur.
pose Of seeing what articles will best bear
an advance Of duty. This, we t:ust, will
not be necessary. But the course of our
opponents in saying the tariff must be re-
duced to the revenue standard, is only made
to deceive those who, it is presumed, are
not fully informed on the amount collected
from it, and the expenditures ci the gov
eminent. We agree entirely with Mr..
WALKER, that when il is clearly ascertain
ed the tariff produces too. much revenue,
and pays Mr.. VAN BUREN's public debt,
then it will not only be advisable, but abs
solutely necessary to reduce it 10 the rev>
enue standard-but until they show Us it
produces too much, it is both safe and mo,
dest to let it remain where experience de-
monslrates its usefulness. During the last
election, we heard il universally urged as
an objection to Mr.. CLAY, that hs was "a !.
vorable TO too high tariff, and this Obiec
ton too came from the party who number
among its most distinguished members a
large number who voted for the highest ia.
riff we have ever had and some of them
occupying official stations under Mr.. Pork.
Why isit, we ask, is MI CLAY objection
able, on this score, when they can sing ho-
zannas 10 the democrats who voted iol the
abominable tariff Of '2sl Was il because
Mr.. VAN buren, and Col. r. M. JOHNSON
voted for the tariffof 20 that they were bet.
ter democrats than Mr.. CEAYl OF, is it
because Mr. GEoReH Buchanan voted fol
the same bill, he was selected for bis pres,
lent post And tits because Mr. BENTON,
!. M. WOODBURY., and Mr.. WRIsaT, voted
for this same bill that they are more accepts
liable to the south, than Nj. CLA1 Surely
when Che Wings are charged with being tbe
peculiar friends Of tariff il would Be we'll
for our accuseTs 10 examine The position Of
Il their own politicians On sEsis sans question
and pick the bean from their own eyes be-
fore they see The mote ours. Ano,
ther objection which is urged in the south
against this measure Is, that it Is unequal
being more oppressive on cotton states than
any other, and that tits made for the bene.
| Rtof the northern manufacture; Jet us ex.
anime the grounds upon which this accuse
ton rests, and see whether OF not there il
any foundation for the statement. The 81,
largest cotton growing states, produce 81
{ per cent. Of the whole amount Of export
and consume is per cent. Of the whole
amount Of imports. The other States pro
duce 81 percent. Of exports, and CONSUME
ls2s per cent. Of imports, if the abOy,
table be correct, and we defy our opponent
to show its incOrectness ~thOse who pro
