Who arc in Hivor of tlmt Tariff?
Yes ! who are in favor of n Tariff? Those
who seek to destroy il, and mako its opera
lions ineffectual, or thoie who wish to have
those operations carried into effect? The
latter are of course tho Tariff parly. Then
be ! remembered that the Federal Whio
party are in favor of a Monster Rank and
of the corrupt principles by which Iho bank
in? system has heretofore been carried on.
the influencfl of which was to destroy all
the benefits of a tariff and rondnr ils opera
lions void and ineffectual. What becomes
then of all the cry about a tariff so oftan
bawled out hv an ignoran and office seek
ing crew? What wo sav becomes of all
heir basely pretended longings for a laiiff,
when their acting give the lio direct to their
words: wbe.i every movamont tbcv make
diows the falsity of their empty professions
Die United Str.tes Rank and a Tariff stand
together 7 as we'' might one try to perve
(Jod and Mammon, as well might light and
darkness reign together. The effect of the
Monster nnd ils at'.endanl banks,is to deluge
out country with a worthless paper money
and thereby to lessen tho valuo of the cur
rency, and raise the price of every thinsr:
here then begins tho trouble. The price of
Tiannfai'tnred pood ! ieen advanced,
foreigners nre able lo send in their cheap
eoods over our tariff, and undersell us. For
instance.without a Monster Dank andunder
the protection of a tariff, cloth of a eeitain
description can be manufactured and soli!
with a fair profit to llic manufacturer al we
will say $ I, per yd. Now, suppose under
ihe depreciated currency of a United Sutes
Hank the price of tho same elolh rises from
4 to 5 or 0 dollas per yd; what's tlie con,
sequences? Why, the foreign manufacturer!
is now able by this riso of price to send
in his cloth in spite of our tariff, and so to
do away with all tho benefits that might a
rise to the protection. This shows then
who aro in favor of the Taiiff. This show
the wings lo be either fools or knaves. If
they want a tariff and at the same limo want
a United Stales Rank, so render it useless
ind of no force.lhey must bo foolej if on III
oilier band ihoy cry out for a tariff, and
don't really want it, but only use it for an
electioneering bugbear (which is the case)
they clearly musl be knaves.
CLAY'S OPENNESS IN REGARD TO

The N. V. Courier oays that Clay'
opiniun on this great matter is "chnraeleris
tic of the man and worthy of his high posi
lion. lie is, says the Courier against an
noxation "unless it shall be with the con
currence of the people of the Union."
Phis is a good deal like tho way he cxpres
ses himself in favor of the present tariff
which ihe whigs of litis county mako such
fuss about, ''I am, says Clay (see a late
report of Clay's speech in the Philadelphia
Inquirer against fret trade on tho one
hand and ptehibition on the other." And
since then he lias declared himself in favor
cit "untxctntionuhle tariff." Out
upon such opcuness. Why can not Clay
orno out like a man and let tho people
know what he thinks about the present
tariff.
