IN MY SUBSEQUENT LIFE 'I HAVE ADHERED TO ITS PROVISIONS, AND - 8111-k Lia DO SO IN FUTURE."—CIay's Speech Cohost as, Georgia, in the Spring of 1244. Here is a solemn, deliberate declaration of HOMY CLAII that his poli yin regard to the Tariff had been 'octoetrolled by a desire to maintain the Compromise - llet,and that he "intended to adhere to its provisions Ao future." I-lad this declaration been made before it seas found necessary to disturb the Compromise act •-•-bad it been made befdre the passage of the Act of - 1142—0 r a short time after its passage—or before :Mr. Clay had entered upon the present canvass—his _friends might have some excuse for seeking to destroy `lts effect, and to keep it from the public eve. Dot on• fortunately for the whiT,s, this is not the 'case. The Tariff was passed in August, 1842—NINETF.EN .1111 ONT HS after its adoption, in making an elktioneer• lhg speech to his followers, Mr. Clay has nothing to • staitit favor of this Tarif f , but makes a merit of having tioag adhered to en antagonist measure, and promises ee"adhero" to that measure "in future." - Hut, the L whigs will object, "Mr Clay has written to Cope that he is utterly opposed to the repeal of the t Tariiir of 11 . 342." So he has, but in setting forth this ;-,lCelsesletterbs a merit, Mr. CLAY'S ardent friends .:theolsalvesaalruit that he has been guilty of the gross leirt falsehood, or inconsistency, if they would prefer milder term. Neither Mr. Clay por his friends can 'reconcile his promise to "adhere to the Compromise in future." with the expression that "he is apposed • an tlot repeal of the Act of 1842." Much as they enark-sire to do so, neither he nor they can -----"maintain the Compoamise, And the Tariff of '42 likewise." .`.• Now, thee,are we to ascertain which of Mr. Clay's sleelaratlona , fa to be taken us truth—both cannot be mtuall• How are we to forth anopinion as to which of doirrines be will maintain, if he should be elected t'restident? There is no other way than to recur to acts and deeds, and learn what be has said or done to- prove his sincerity in supporting the respective projects. In support of his promise to abide by the Compre vise Act, we have his pledge at the time it was pas -. - .00d - tliat it was to be a permanent measure, and ire ASiverbia:trniform sentiments in favor of it, in his public . ...oSChes before the Senate. In the extra session ' be refused totouch it—when it was necessary to raise ressemne for the wants of the government, he proposed at , tax TEA and COFFEE, and other articles which betdnot been taxed before, because they did not come , into competition with our own products; with the sseimmtparpo.eof preserving the 20 per cent. du.' tit' tr. of dot' Compromise Act inviolate.

Now the wings *a the staked principle that 'this land fund sof RIGHT to the States --they make it one of siasiarleading principles—yet Mr Clay voted to make -. 1 -11klif vaunted whig principle subservient to the Corn ' • c" .. 11e Act--and unless the Tariff States would sob; ','..Wirstbe Compromise they should not have what Mr. • Pay =seas their just and rightful share of the land But Mr Clay proved in another way his de *** the Compromise Act—when he saw or AbsildSt be saw, that it would i nervitshly=be disturbed-- -bilkliter•councils of the nation, and refused to take in its destruction, or to sit by and see it Are not these things enough to show that he was iftneare in saying "he should adhere to its provisions tln tad What acts or deeds of his are there to main-, or strengthen his declaration that he is opposed ttisbe repeal of the present Tariff?

But although they arts whip, they cannot countenance I such vile falsehoods as some of their leaders resort to hi their desperation, and they have refuted the *holder of Biddle, and rebuked those who keep him to commit such acts of baseness, in a manner that reflects the highest credit upon themselves. If the whig leaders do not desire to participate in the infamy of such falsehoods as apps red in the American against Mr Snout, they should have the card as signed by Major Irv( and others, published in sonic of their journals that have a little regard for truth arid political decency, and publicly disclaim h -v -ing taken any.
