WHIG TACTICS.
Mr. Jriiigan, a whig Senator from Ten
nessee, was instructed by the Legislature of
this State to vote for mud.fica'.iniis and te
duciions of the Tariff ici of 1842. Ilig
vote insured the pansage of McKay's bill
in the Senate, by a irmjority of one even af
ter the resignation of Mr Haywood, Uut
it would not answer Whig purposes lo
have the bill pass the Senate without pntiing
up,in the Vice Piesidunl liie responsibility
of gnintf a casting vote. The Whigs wero
in pressing need of matter to electioneer up.,
on, and they conceived that the peculiar sit.
nation of ihe Tariff bill affoidei! an oppor
tunity for mischief. If the Vice Preaidem
voted against the new Truid bill, they ex
pected him to be denounced throughout the
Union, by hll the millions who wero favoi
ible lo a mndifi'-ation of the act of 1842. In
inch case, they confidently expected him
to he upbraided as treacherous to his parly,
and faithless lo his constitutional trust, If
n the other hand, ho voted in f.ivor of the
new bill, they expected an equally vclte
iienl tide of imligna'.inn would gretl biiii
Irom Pennsylvania, that it would be tin?
iource of diisscntion among the Democracy,
ind would be represented as an act of de
ibeiate hostility ngainst certain imporiant
uteresis of Ins native slate. Li either case
then it was hoped that mischief would re
sult from a casting vote by the Vice Prcsi
lent To effect the object in view, we
ind that Mi. Jarnigiitii clearly instructed
is he wns and pledged to obey those in"
