The honest citizens of Pittslurgh, who cannot be

always hold the present administration in reipect.—
Coming into power under very eltraordinary circus's
stances, and without a party on which he could rely to
sustain hint in the policy he might adopt, the Presi
dent had to take the sole responsibility of the measures
of his administration, and to look to the people to do
justice to his motives. His course has fulfilled the
hopes of his democratic fellow-citizens, and shown that
although without a party, he had the'morul courage to
do right. The democratic party owe President Tyler
a debt of gratitude for his self-sacrificing conduct in
maintaining its leading principles, and he deserves the
esteem of the country at !loge fur the general benefit
that has resulted from his administration.

PER CENT, upon the imported article."
Ilos. H. Dessy's Luria.—The letter we an
flounced yesterday from Mr. Denny, will be found in
another column. As far an it relates to our correspond
ent, he is amply able to maintain his side of the discus
sion, if he should think proper to continue it. We
would merely inquire bow it has happened, if Mr CLAY
had "clearly and fully explained his views of the
[Compromise] Bill," and if. as. Mr Deasy would
seem to insinuate, he was satisfied with the explana
tions, that Mr D. should have continued his public op
position to the bill For 8 ol.` 9 years after it passed? It
is not denied, we believe, that in a public meeting in
this city, about two years since, he denouneoll.the
Com
promise as the origin of the most of the evils we then
endured.
Mr Des! v corrects a quotation of oursfroni his letter
of Feb. 14th, 1833. We quote him as having written
that Mr CLAY had "abandoned protection." It should
have been "abandoned the discrimination." Below
will be found Mr DcaNY's letter of Feb. 14th, 1833,
entire; and we submit to every reader. whether, in
noticing the accidental substitution of the word 'pro
tection' foi 'discrimination,' the differences is nut, verbal
merely. The sentiment that Mr CLAY had "abandoned
protection" ittetearly-advanced end.fapy Made out.
In the fird place, Mr Dearly says, "Clay has left
his Tariff friends and united with Calhotm." Is it
possible that Mr CLAY could range himself with Mr
CALitous without "abandoeing protection?" No one
would pretend to say that Mr CLAY could coalesce
with Calhoun. and yet support "protection."
In the second plale, Mr Deo NT says that "the prti
joct [Compromise] is believed to have received the ap
probation of Mr CALttoote." Does-any man in Pitts
burgh believe that -I. C. Calhoun would sanction any
project that didnot "abandon potectionr
Ih the third place, Mr DINNT says, that "the frimals
of the protective policy now rally round Mr Webster."
This !waves one important fact, that if Mr Clay had
not "abandoned protection," the '•friends of the Pro
tective Policy" had abandoned lint. So there was a
breach between Mr CLAY and the ft iends of Protection.
Could this have occurred if Mr CLAY had not abandon
ed protection?
In the fourth plAce, lir DENNY says Mr CLAY
"abanioa* Ike discrinunotioot." "Protection"' and
"DiscriminiCon" are always used as convertible terms,
in discussing the Tariff Inestion. Whoever "abandons
discrirninalion" and goes for the opposite principle,
a horizontal Tariff, is regarded as an enemy to " protec
tion" by the friends of that policy.
It is evident from those points of the letter,ihat Mr
Dos NY wished to create the impression, when ho wrote
• his letter of Feb. 14th, 1843, that Mr CLAY hat/
"abandoned protection." The whole scope of the let
, ter, which we subjoin, distinctly proves the truth of
this etAsettion

From the proceedings in the Senate you will 'see
that Cloy has left his Tariff' friends and united
with Calhoun. The project submitted by Mr Clay
is believed to have previously received the approba
lion of Mr Calhoun. SORE THINK IT ORIGINATED
WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL The friends of the pro

olutions which you wilt find in the listelligencer of to
day, contain the true principles of the American sys

It is evident that, when Mr Din se wrote this let

flail" and his Ileclaration .at a public meeting, Bor
9 'Years afterwards, thatthe Compromise Act Wa s. the
source of the evils we then groaned under, shows how
long dritidea held possession of his mind. There can
be no doubt, from the concluding sentences of Mr Dice.
ri t's letter, that he has changed his views of Mr C tali
I and his palicy. His right ta !tittliefwa shall not ques

specting the operations of his bill.
The fact that ample means were at hand and of
record to enable your intelligeutcorrespondent to puint
out any mistake, will, be sufficient to satisfy him that
it was not "a wilful misstatement."
If your correspondent bad perused the whole debate
which took place on the hOl, - end- continued at inter
vals until the evening of the Ist March. 1833 ~ his would
have become acqitainted with Mr Clay's tn.eives and
principles, much better than through the medium of :t
letter written by myself or any other person a day or
to-n after the measure was first proposed. He would
have found also that Mr Clay, after the date of my
letter, made more than one speech explaining his views,
the principles of the bill, and its operation. A very
able and elorment speech was made by Mr Clay ou
the 25th Feb., a full report of which i s t o b e f o u n d i n
Niles Register of the 3d of March. and which em
braces sevens] observatitess made by him nti oilier oc
casions during the progress of the (All.
Your correspondent - will no doubt remember that
the bill was referred to s select emnmittre on the 13th
February, and had thereinto been bet one day before
the Senate. (In the 19th February Mr Clay reported
the bill with variints amendments, which were agreed
to on the 21st, after Which Mr Cray moved another
amendment of great im i tortance, inttorluciug a new
feature into the bill, abieh was - to make the ?some
eahtatiost of gu.ods the standard for the nesessment of
duties under the bill after 1342, instead of the foreign
valuation.
It appears, thenfore, that the debate was not re
seined until the 19th. the fifth day after the date of me
letter. The discussion was continued at intervals until
the evening of the Ist of March, , Mr Clay and other
friends of protection replying to objections and more
clearly and fully explaining their views of the bill.
The mistake, if it is to ho considered as on e, i s o f
no consequence to Mr Clay, and as es my humble self,
LI have md the slielnest idea that future hi storians would
make it a subject of learned controyersymr a point of
much importance requiring to be adjusted; whether my
letter was really written before or after Mr Clay hue
fully explained his ',leas. It might be a difficult ques
tion to settle, seeing that Mr Clay delivered on the
12th February, a speech occupying about 8 columns
in Niles', and on the 25th February delivered another,
occupying, with several observations made at other
times during the debate, about 81 columns of Niles. •
Permit me to trespass a little longer on your edi
tonal
courtesy. In an article headed 'Clay and the
Tariff," you obses ve that they (the people of Pennsyl
vani,) have the evidence of Hon, H. Denny, that "be
(Mr. Clay,) had abandoned protection." You have
marked the wads "abandoned p:utection," as a quo.
nation. Such language was Dever used by me in refer
ence to Mr Clay. As you have cited what you con
sider as testimony, alleging it to have come from me, i
allow me to give my evidence in my own word., c lear
ly and distinctly, which I hope, you will publish as an.
act ofjustite to myself as well as to Mr Clay.
I state to you, then, decidedly, that I firmly believe
Mr Clay to be a devoted.r . Warm and unconquerable
friend of "protection." That 'tie holds to the princi
ple of proteceion for American labor and Products '
with an attachment which nothing can diminish.
That his whole public career establishes beyond
doubt, that, as an. enlightened Sintennan--devoted
patriot--an able advocate of sound democratic princi
ples—and as an able supporter of an American Tariff
fur the protection of our own mechanics, manufitetur
ers and industry, there is not his superior, and but
one who could be considered even his , equal in the
whole Union.
And finally, that of the several candidates fiir the
Presidency, 1 cietsider Mr Clay, us the only une pos
sessing those high qualifications which aro required
to save, unclog Providence, our country from the dis
asters which the enemies of:the Union and the ene
mies of protection threaten to bring upon it.
yours, respectfully,

DEACON WHITE AND W. E. AUSTIN., ESQ •
MESSRS. F.RITuRS--On Thursday morning of the
Liberty Convention, Mr. Austin being called out , nose
and declined speaking; but being called again, ;said,
that to prevent confusion, he weuhi say something.—
He said that his reluctance to speaki....ai_oso from an
attack in that morning's Gazette.-to which his attention
had been directed on his way to the meeting. My on
ly object, therefore, said Mr. A.. in coming here this
mornings was to see if 1 could borrow as much money
us would pay my passage teTexitt. But having fail
' ed in this, I find myself here. Among other compli
monts,,tbe Deacon state!' that 4 have not brains enou;li
to make an ar g ument , and that I em therefore, under
the necessity o f resorting to low witand abuse. Now,
in order to show that I kane brains enough to make an
argument, I will try my hand at it now, and gire you a
specimen.-,-I argue that an editor whose paper glows
day afterday, and year after. year, with antimasonic
and antislavery exeitrinenfousa who publishes in capit
al
letters that he will votefor no man for any ewe who
is an adhering mason or a slaveholder, and least of al
fora man like Henry Clay, stained (as he believed,)
with every vice. I argue, I say, that the editor who
does' this; and afterstards, simultaneously with a mo.
ney transaction is his &ror by the whigs, comes out
in favor of a Rbyal Arch Mason, and a large slave.

' SToeSt AT PRILADALTHIA.—A very terrific and de
structive storm visited Philadelphia on Monday night.
.The Times, gives the following account of its effects:
. "A number of large branches of the Linden trees
in front of the State House were blown oft also many
in Tenth street., in Southwitrk, Spring Garden; &e.—
windows were broken--clothes swept from the lines
in yards and from the roofs of the houses for squares--
and in Chesnut street, during the heaviest of the
shower, thy water was swept down the street with
such force by the wind, that it seemed like one foamy
mass, hurled w ith the velocity as from a cataract, down
into the Delaware—aided to which the vivid glare of
the lightning—the heavy pealS of thunder, and the af
frighted females and children hastening to the nearest
places of shelter, appeared as Father NI iller's prophecy
' was at last being accomplished, the destruction of the
univelse inevitable, and its people launched with the
quickness of thought into the yawning abyss of eterni-
ty. . .
In the city, cellars were overflowed, awning and trees
were damaged, the streets wet e flooded, and a number
of horses were struck bylightning,, and seseral persons
injured by the electric fluid. •The house at the north
west corner of Front end Market streets,. had a portion
of the chimney carried away, and the store of Robert
and Wm. C Biddle, No 29 Market street, bad a por
tion ofthe slating on the gable edge of the roof knocked
off. Persons who saw the lightningstrike these buil
dings described the sight as having been awfully sub
lime. The fluid appeared to toll feint the roof over
the awaingsin huge liquid balls The clouds at the
time were very heavily charged with electricity. The
streets looked like rivulets of fire. A young man, na
med James NI t I le! , t I. in Keiarimgt at, was shucked,
and Casper Sunder, in Beach street, near Shacks:nos
on, wai completely enveloped in the fluid, and yester
; day lay very se riouslv ill.
The top past of the Polk and Dallas pole in front of
the tavern of Joslipit Sturgis, in Oak street below Green,
N. L., was inokift and shattered into a thousand pie
cesand thrownsometwohundre I yards. .1 young man
in the second story of the tavern was stunned, as ssau
also Mr. S.. both however recovered. The large old
weeping willow which has stu-d for so many years in
Plumb street below Fourth, Southwark. was blown
down. A barn was struck about a mile beyond West
Philadelphia, and was destroyed. The horses - in an
adjtining stable could not be gust out and perished Mahe
1 firma. Tim fury of the storm was experienced in the
['flashy of Dirbv, and three or four barns were
i snuck in this neighbOrhood and burnt Another barn
was consumed near IVoodbury. Pussengers by the
' Pilot Line, on Monday night, reported dart barns were
blazing on each side of the'Delawnre, from Borden
town down. Great damage was done to corn and fruit,
