They are feun4in my public acts, and in the public discussions in which I have participated. I am in favor of a Tariff for revenue, such a one as will yield a sufficient amount to the Treasury to defray the expenses of the Government economically admin istered. In adjusting the details of a revenue Tariff, I have heretofor?sanctioned such moderate discr,mi noting duties, as would produce the amount of reve nue needed, and at the same Lime afford reasonabls incidental protection to our home industry. lam op posed to a Tariff fur protection merely. and not for re- I venue. Acting upon these general principles, it is well k now a that I gave my support to the policy of General Jack . itplouon of another Powder Magazine and son's administration on this subject. 1 voted against the Tariff of 1828.

It is known to every one thatthese vety men were the life and soul of the whig party in IVO; they were the lenders then; they were looked up to for instructions, and it was owing mainly to their political sagacity and good management, that Harri son received such an ovemhelming majority in this county.
