It is true that a. debt bad accumulated in its name at the Commonwealth Bank, but not by its no. thority nor at its request, for $lBO.OOO, not fur S2G3, fmtV ; as the committee, have falsely stated.

Xeresponsible person, 1 believe, has ever attempt -id to controvert the correctness of des statement; and ,its proof of its fidelity is the fact that the Associa tes hat since paid all its debts.

I. lost the stock I owned in it by its failure. I wasnota debtor to the Bank, nor tunny one else, when it failed. The, money standing to my credit as collector of the port of Boston. was placed there by the express orders of government.

This is a prudent resolution, for it would be a dangerous position toassume, con sidering the change able nature of Mr CLAY'S tariff noti one.

We understand 'Mr City, opinions of a Tariff' per although the Advocate has so mystified and ex plained theca as to requi re the aid of a Philadelphia 'lawyot to render them plain. He regards it as a con venient hobby in some parts of the country to aid him in his grasping .after, power,. but in 'other quarters, where such a measure is regarded with leis favor, he signifies his willingness to cut it data to a standard that will satisfy the Nullifiers of South Carolina--the ' early, steady and uncompromising enemies of every measure tending to protect the industry and skill of our manufacturers: It is not unfair to fake Mr Clay's let. ter to Mr. Meriweather as an em bedinient of his tariff opinions, and we agree with him that they ought to satisfy the nullifiers of the South, b t we would not have the tem2rity to tell the industrious workingmen of the north,, that such protection ought to satisfy them. Even theistfitor of the Advocate has become asham ed-to quote Mr. Clay's tariff sentiments :o define his own pasition,and to ac•namplish that purpose he copies the sentiments of ‘'it Icaxtfoco meeting," (which means in la:tguage of ordinary conntesy, a deinacratio meet ing,) lately held at Harrisburgli. : We are pleased to V/OAIION.—We have already NA see this; it shows the absurdity of claiming the Tariff ATLANTIC ST/LAM mentioned, says the New York Journal of Commerce, as an exclusive Whig measure,tand corroborates what thatin ruldition:to the Great Western, of 1700 tons, we we at first said, that such an assumption is an imps. sea defraul t dent attempt to haalwia are to have, during the coming season, the Great ltthe people et ;Britain, of 3500 tons, plying between Liverpool and their votes,,as-was done in 1840. 1 • this port.

We have no reason to doubt the veracity of our informant, and we cannot believe he would wilfully misrepresent Mr Craig or any other man. We still believe that he was correct; but if' Mr Craig will de clare that he has no knowledge of the matter, and that hemmer told any one that such an arrangement was in contemplation, it will be necessary for us to call on our informant to substantiate his statement.
