This is spoken evidence. Now why did not the eclitOf pul:liab the whole of the letter from which , the above extract is made 1 • Was it beenusehe knew that the letter would furnish the I strongest proof of Mr Clay's hostility to a protective tariff ? It was; and this we can show by a reference to his own paper of the 20th of October, 1843. At that I , time the editor of the Gazette had not such an extent' sive acquaintance among the whigs.as Ite enjoys at, present, star had he any idea of the number of re aeons that soda be offered to induce him to suppoit. Henry Clay. He then examined Mr Clay's tariff principles without the explanatory notes uf the fifteen whigs, and after reading the very same letter from 'which he now quotes, to rove Mr C. to be in favor of the tariff, he I evitlikitly concluded that he was hostile to it. Telpuldishieg the letter of Mr Clay to Dr Bronson. 'the editor of the Gazette introduced it with the follow ing.remasks, which we would now like him to explain. MR. CLYT on THE TARIFF —As a good deal has been said about Mr Clay's present opinions on the tar ifrquestion, it is gratifyining to have his views ex plicitly stated by himself, which is done in the letter copied below; of a date so late as the 13th ultimo.— His opinion in briefis, that Att. the rerenneneeessary to an Konomical administration of the Government should be derived from duties on foreign imports, and that such discrimination shall be made, in firinz those cluties,as will a ford. INGIDENTALL t reasonable protection to national into eats. In regard to the present tariff he is very Calitioili. Eie thinks its pro visions in the main Wise and proper, but admits it may need modification. Do these remarks indicate that Mr White then thoughttbat the Bronson letter was good calif doc trine? Certainly not, but on the commit y. the italics and SMALL CAPS PI:eW th%tth , =., editor wished to leave the invpmesaioist.lust 11Ir Clay was not- in favor of a pro tective Torte - . But this Islay itselfis the best evidence of blr Clay's antitariff principles, and as she editor of 'the Gazette has soppteised the most important parts : alit,. we will publish all the paragraphs in which any opinions on the Tariff arc expressed Mr. Clay says : The turn and substance of what I cmceive to be the tree policy of the li. States. in regard to a Tariff, may be briefly stated. In conformity with the prin ciples announced in the COMPROMISE ACT, I think that whatever revenue is necessary to an eco nomical and honest administration of the General Government, ought to be derived from duties, impos ed on Ft reign imports. And I believe that, in estab lishing a Tariff of those ditties. such a discrimination ought to be made as will incidentally afford reason able protection to our national interests. I think there is no danger oja high Tariff brin L ever established; that of 1828 was etninently deserving that denomination. I was nut in Congress when it passed, and did not vote for it: but, with its history, and with the circumstances which gave birth to it, I am well acquainted There were highly discreditable to American legislation, and I hope for its honor, v. id never be again repeated. After my return to Congress in 1831. my effotts were directed to the modification and reduction of the rates of duty contained in :he act of 1828. The act of 1832 greatly reduced and modified them: and the net of 1833. commonly called the compromise act, still further reduced and modified them. Mead which passed at the Extru Session of 1821. which I supported, was confined to the free article. I had re signed my seat in the Senate when the act of 1342 pas sea. Generally, the duties which it imposes, are lower than those in the act of .1832.. And, without intending to expreis any opinion upon every item of this last Tariff, I would Ash: that I think the provis ions, iu the main, are wise and proper. If there be anyexeesses or defects in it, (of which I have not the means here of judging.) they ought to be corrected. My opinion, that there is no danger hereafter of a High Tariff, is founded on the gratifying fact, that our manufactures have now taken a deep root. In their infancy, they needed a greater measure of protec tion: hut as they grow and advance, they acquire strength and stability, and consequently, will require less protection. Even now, sombe branches of them are able to maintain, in distant markets, successful competition with rival foreign manufactures. Hoping that this letter may be satisfactory to you. and afford all the information you desire, and tender ing my grateful acknowledgment for the friendly fed i ings and sentiments entertained by you towards me, I am, with great respect, your obedient 11. CLAY, srrrant, F. S. BRuNSON WIIA it honest in our neighbor 11:1 suppress this letter and to try to cheat hie readers by picking six /ino out of the middle of it, and giving them as the senti ment of the whole letter? As the letter stands without mutilation, no one can mistake the opinions of the writer. He is opposed to any Taiiff that is not in conformity with the principles of the Compromise act, and believes that INCIDENTAL PROTEC TION is all that our manufacturets should receive from Government. The Compromise Act is the ground work of his system of duties, and all Tariff that do not conform with it ougla to be corrected. We now ask the Gazette to publish this letter en fire--no more mutilation, and try to get ono man in Allegheny county nits) is sincerely in favor of protec tion, to say that the man who holds such opinions as are here expressed by Mr. Clay, can be considered favorable to the present Tariff'. THE TARIFT: VS• ntorEssiox.—The Whigs are merely the professed friends of the tariff; they use it as a tail to fly their political kitet a ladder to mount upon to reach power, and then to be kicked away. At the recent session of the ligislature of this i State, a Whig leader had himself placed at the head Of the committee on manufactures, yet he neither made a report nor had resolutions passed favorable to a Tariff. Here was whig principles; all profession, no I practice. So when Mr Cooper's resolutions for the great stock-jobbing 200 milliou monster, and the sale of the public works to un:atibtoera tic corporation%t ere on the carpet, the great 1 iriff zeal of the wiiigs was glorfOtesty tihrrwn by - annerinre sort of half equivocal expression _relating to pauper labor to the tail of the sale of tbe , public works, and this is all the regard they showed for-thet mighty and absorbing interests of the tariff! With them, it is as a mere bladder to float th a i r A e i oam i,... ustro i ccs y kuji ,p q: ~Ney,_woyse than this, for on that same day, (March 2.1844,) whet* Mr Tus. tin, democrat, moved to insert the following, viz: "That a Tariff for revenue with proper discriminations valid be s t sufficiem Tariff for protection,:! ; Afro were the whip' then? Why, Mr HINCIUNIAS, .whig. moved to strike it out and insert "That we recom mend Congress to pass a law to provide for the die- nate, that they were glad to fall into the democratic ranks this time. These revolutions, ought to be more known than they are; and as they show the hone practice of democtals; against the philly-sbally profes sions of the whigs, here they. are-- '.Whereas, The present tariff promises to answer the purposes of revenue, and also yields to American fndusry the encouragement necessary to the.develope me nt of the great resources of our country.

And', whereas, n bill is now pending in the Con gress of the United States, the operation of which would effect injuriously the i nportnnt staple produc tions of thin Commonwealth. Therefore, Mt:solved; That our Senators in Congress be in structed, and oar Representatives requested to oppose any change-in the present tariff which might prove in-• jurious to themannfacturiug and agricultural interests' of this cotnmonwenith; sternly to resist any reduction in the present duties on iroe, cool, and wool, and to omit no effort to sustain all the great interests of the nation calculated to foster and promote American In dustry." • Upon the passage of the foregoing resolution, the TEAS were Mess: ANDERICGO, BRACXENRIDGE, STUR or.ox, and every ether democrat in the House. Upon concurring with this resolution by the Senate, the only negative was one Whig! So much for democratic practire against Whig profession. J (7 085 Aitsoss, of Philimielpb!", delivered a very able ctiargi**(3lind Jury, to guiibitheist in their ileliberatioiwon visitors connected with the late riots. We extract the folknviog paragriph in relation to the power vested in the Sheriff to suppress a mob. If there isreakin to believe that the insurgents are armed with lawful - weapons, and an ordinary civil force is eot sufficient to arrest them, be should call out a military force for that purpose- - the citizen soldiery, all person" possessing physical strength are hound to obey the command of the Sheriff—none are exempt. And any one refusing to go ia guilty of a c rierl4s for such refusal, and on conviction of the offence is liable to a fine and imprisonment. Every officer and soldier is bound to attend the Sheriff armed and equipped if he direct itomd foe the occasion is subject to his com mend. The Sheriff is then bound to, use that degree of force which is necessary to suppress the riot, tumult or disturbance of the public peace and to prevent the destruction of property, or injury to the persons or lives of the citizens. it may be asked what degree of force can be exer cised on such an occasion. On this point I will be explicit, If a great number of persons are assembled together armed with gnus or other hurtful weapons, and their object is manifest to do great personal vio lence to an individual, ore certain class Of individuals, or to destroy public or private property, and they re fuse tosubmit to the law, resist the Sheriff or hist assis tants when they attempt to arrest, and that with vio lence; when they refuse to disperse after being com manded by that officer, and are fully bent on violence to the persons or property of others, and all other probable means for the suppression of the outrage fail. that officer may order the posse to take the elv es or tell INSU aCIENTS. if necessary. When driven to that impassable straight, when the Sheriff must see the lives and propel ty of the community destroyed by viii knee, without his having the power to avert it, unless by she destruction of human life, he may adopt it as the last alternative, and the law justifies him upon the same principlethatit does fur the execution of a crimi nal condemned by the sentence of a court. Rioters thus assembled and bent on mischief are enemies to: the State; they have declared war against the governs ment undet which they livo, and in a legal pant of view are little better than pirates. The following definition of what tapristitOttia it riot will be new to those who think they have the privilege of meeting where they please and when they please, and applying opprobrious language to those who may happen to differ with them in religion,or We cheerfully admit in this country any portimi of our citizens have a legal right to assemble, to discuss any subjects civil or religions: and no other. persons have a right to molest or disturb them, however ob noxions may be the sentiments advanced to another portion of society. While we admit the correctness of this position. tt is further to be observed that when persons thus legally assembled, may be guilty of a riot, and the very assembling itself at an improper time and place, may make all convening rioters. For one definition of the offence is. when persons to the numberof three or more do a legal act, in a riotous and turbulent manner to the terror of Viz people.— Every man has a right to use his property in any way he pleases, so that he does no injury to the rights and property of another. But the mr ment he interferes with that which belongs to his neighbor, he is respon sible in damages. The same principle applies with equal force to pub lic rights. end I will mention a case by way of illustra tion. No one doubts that the Protestant denomina tion of christians have a right to assemble in a public manner, and discuss the doctrines of their religion, and scan with great strictness or even severity. those of another denomination; yet if they should convene their meting, in front or a Catholic Chutch, when the conzreention were assembled to worship accoiding to their belief, and indulge in a denunciation of Catho licism. they would be guilty of a riot,• although the di•Cile;slo t at another time or place would be innocent. The oeension they embrace under such circumstances, noel fercg with 1.1 e rights of others, and their acts are calculated to lead to a breach of the peace.

DEAR SIR: In answer to your inquiry, whether I am favorable to the immediate annexation of Texas to the United States, I reply that I am. As you demand my opinion only of this measure, and briefly the reasons which influence me, I shall confine myself to these point*.. I I shall not dwell upon the policy of uniting coter minous countries, situated like ours and Texas, with no marked geographical feature to divide them, and with navigable streams penetrating the territories of both; nor upon the common origin of the people who inhabit them, upon their common language, manners, religion, institutions, and, in fact, their identity as a branch of the human family. Nor shall I urge the ma terial interests involved in the measure, by the free in tercourse it would establish between the various sec tions of a vast country, mutually dependent upon, and supplying one another. These considerations are so obvious, that they need no elucidation from me. But, in a military point. of view, annexation strikes me as still more important, and my mind has been the more forcibly impressed with this idea from rending the able letter of General Jackson upon this subject, which has just come under my observation With the intuitive sagacity which makes part of the charac ter of that great man and pure patriot. he has foreseen the use which a European enemy might make of Texas in the event of a war with the United States. A lodgement in that country would lay open our whole southwestern border to his devastations. We could establish no fortress, nor occupy any favorable posi tion; for the immense frontier may, in a vast many places, be crossed as readily as a man passes from one part of' his farm to another. The advantages an ac tive enemy would enjoy under such circumstances, it requires no sagacity to foretell. 'Phase considerations recall to my memory an arti cle which made its appearance just before I left Eu 2 rope, in a lesding tory periodical in England, which is understood to speakthe sentiments of a powerful party. This is Frazer's Magazine; and a more nefarious Rai cle never issued from a profligate press. It ought to be stereotyped and circulated front one end of our country to the other, to show the designs whirl are in agitation against us, and to teach us that our safety in that mighty contest which is coming upon us, is in a knowledge of our danger and in a determination, by union, and by a wide forecast, to meet. and defeat it. The spirit of this article is sulficienily indicated by its title , which was, 'a war with the U S a blessing to man ktiid. I cannot refer to it at this moment, but must speak of it from recollection. I have often beeusur prised it has not attracted more attention in our coun try. Its object was to provoke a war with the United States, and to lay down the plan of a campaign, which would soonest bring it to a fortunate conclusion for England. The basis of this plan was the orga.niza tiou of the necessary black force in the West India Is lands. and its debarkation upon our southern coast.— The consequencesv.-hich ourenemies fondly biped for. in such a case, but with an entire ignorance of the true state of the count; y, were foretold with a rare union of pliiluittlaropity and hatred. I wish I had the num her at band, to cull some choice passages for your re- Bec:ion. The result was to be the destruction of the southern States, the ruin or depression of the other., nod the (Us:elution of this great end glorious confede racy, on -which the last horses of freedom through the world now rest. What more favorable position could be taken for the twooptoi..n of English black troops, and for letting thorn low., 111,011 our southern States, than is olfoiorl by Tesas? Incapable of resisting in the event of a war between us and England, she would be taken pos session of by the latter,.under one or another of those pretences, which every. page of her history furnishes, and the territory would become the depot whence she would carry on her operation against us, and attempt to add a servile war to the other calamities which hos tilities bring with them. He who doubts whether this would be done, has yet to learnanother trait in the annals of national antipathy. It would be done, and be called phi la rithro phy , Every day satisfies me more and more, that a ma jority of the American people are in favor of annexa tion. Were they not, the measure ought not to be ef fected. But as they are, the sooner it is effected the better Ido not touch the details of the negotiation. That must be left to the responsibility of the govern ment; as, also. must the bearing of the question upon, and its reception by other commies. These are points I do not here enter into.
