tariff question. and, eyadrg all discussion o.

democratic party equal responsibility with the

mise Aci," for which so much credi, has been
srogated to Mr.. Clay,-thus plucking from the
brow the only laurel left lie
depressed into an incomprehensible theory
about the principles Of trade, the necessity o.
restrictions and regulation &c. From this he
entered on faint defence of the distribution of

Of the present militia system
which he considered far preferable to the plan
Of Gen Gaines, which he supposed Mr.. Davis

duration, he wound up with an anecdo,e OF a

the crowd. the greater portion Of which had
left during Mr.. Tompkins' harapgu,. He could
not long complain Of this however; for as soon
as his voice was heard. the people Aocked in
again 10 hearken to his words. Mr.. Davis
showed that Mr.. Tompkins was not nominee
for the plain and only reason that the wings had
tailed in their effort TO collect at Jackson sui.
fcent number of delegates TO be dign flied with
the appellation Of a conven,ion;-that Mr.
Tompkins was therefore only the sugges'ee Of
"Common Wing meeting" Gas it called ITSELF.

"d-n common indeed" The only difference

Mr.. Tompkins came at the ''suggestion" Of
