the country is much indebted for the tariff of 1896
Under the tariff of 1s42 the iron used this road would
have $25 per ton its cost is only about 81 So
The whg party may may not insist the dire caam

duties AT all events, it is the most lucky party in the
world in having special organ which will enable il TO

proved by Mr. Rhett, Colonel Gentry, and Mr.. Calhoun
that all the principles Of the democratic party have gone
over to Mr. Clay and the wings; it has proved by Mr.
Cary that Adam Smith was protectonist and it will
just easily be able 10 prove that the tariff of $780,

will be made obvious to the public reason may be

constitutional treasury and revenue tariff; if. there
fore, there national prosperity ii is the effect of wing
policy: O. ED We have seen that it is by such an
their title as the special patrons of the New York canals
and railroads; and the special organ has shown most
concusvely that Gen Jackson. MIR Van Buren,, and Mr.
Polk, whether vetoing approving internal improve

But, as remarked in last paper. there dis

Is the special organ prepared to take up the subject of
