His speeches at Baltimore and elsewh here on tins
subject are yet fresh IN the memory of the public
Nor can there be doubt, but that it was his re-
tracy from the State Department al me, that pre-
vented his carrying out this policy The object o
reciprocity treaties fushs shands OF Mr.. Webster
cannot be misunderstood. IL WAS 10 react upon
Henry Clay and prevent HIM from riding into the
Presidency.
Ii is also fact that the tariff of 1912 was politi
cal tariff alone. Ii is well ascertalned fact, that
that tariff was the production of Abbot Lawrence,
and few other political manufacturers, concocted
with view TO present effect only, (and IN iact u
put into Lawrence's pocket hall million OF dol
lars clear profit at one iell swoop,) and that Il was
not even acceptable 10 the wing party, ana tnoueh

political reasons also. True II is, that the wing

Now. Mr. Webster is to be the instrument ef

truly il is a work which he will perform with
much unction This is the reason that his name has
been brought out TO be candidate for the fourth
time As then Mr.. Webster could not " kill Off
Mr.. Clay by showing that he had once proposed

TO the tariff, and told the Pennsylyanians he was

fact that " exporters need not protection, as they

pete with every one else, and as the manufacturers
oil America are becoming large exporters, 1t is evil
dent that all such reciprocity treaties must be ad-
vanlageous, and here is another reason why Da-
mel Webster will support this policy.
That Daniel Webster will do this, do not hesl-
tate to prophesy At the next session of Congress,
when the ZollVerein treaty comes to be acted upon
Daniel Webster will be found in support Of it. The
way has been prepared, the indications have ap.
peared, and the Zoll Verein treaty of Reciprocity
will be confirmed. This will open the door to, and
will be followed by, treaties of the same nature
with other powers. and also very probably by a re
vision OF the tariff and reduction of its duties to a
revenue standard. Thus will the tariff question be
settled, and Henry Clay, as is expected, along with
Now, have said that John Nc Lean has been de.
clded upon for the whigcanddate for the next Pre-
sidential race. II is so. Daniel Webster is to
Kill oil Henry CLAY by operating upon the tariff as
above. John Mclean has the prestige of having
been in the Cabinet of General Jackson, at the
head of the Post Office Department, and Of having
conducted that department with great efficiency
He is, or is TO be, anti-bank. In short time you

TO the publication of this letter from Mr. Mclean,
nomination will be made by some of the State
Legislatures, which will probably be made the oc.
caslon tor It's seeing the light This would have
been the case ere now, but that the Ohio Legisla-
ture was afraid to obey the behests of the mag

Slmiar orders were sent to the North Carolina
Legislature, but it too, wanted nerve, and the no.
limitations were not made. They WILL however,
be made. Mr.. Msngam is the only prominent
Southern whg who can carry his State, and
therefore he had been selected as the candidate for
Vice President. Expect, therefore, in shortstime
from him, letter in favor of the annexation OF
Texas.
THIS, then, is the game. Judge Mclean is to be

as, and tor the whig party, and 10 the accomplish
ment OF these ends Daniel Webster ana his col.

What, then, will the democrats do? In what posi-.
