Pout. 1 am opposed to the Tariff Act of the late Congress. 1 am in fa vor of repealing that act, and restoring the Com promise Tariff of March 2, 1832.--May 15, 1S43. Without intending to express any opinion upon rvery item of the 1 ariff, I would say that I think the provisions, in the main wise am) proper.-" Sepl. 1 3, 1 843 Letter to a Committee of Georgia Wkigs. Rephj lo citizens of Tennessee. JLct it be Remembered, That James K. Polk is opposed to the excel lent Tariff Acl of 1842, and to all Protection of American Industry. Also, lhai George M. Dallas, introduced a Bill into the Senate of the United Slates to re-charter ihe U. S. Bank, and voted to pa;s it by tivo-thirds, after Gen. Jack son had vetoed it. Lasl week we showed what iilile part Loco Focoism had in making the Tariff; now let us sco whether it has been as backward to repeal it. WSiat part land Loco-Focoism in tSic aUcu:p to S&epeal tise Tariff? At the last session of Congress the Tariff question was again brought up. Who were in favor and who against? Mr. McKay, L. F. from the committee on ways and means report ed a tariff bill reducing the duties to a low rate, about 20 per cent. 'When the final vole was about to be taken, Mr. Elmer moved to lay ii on the table. The vote on this motion was. a lest of strength, and stood in favor of laying on ibfl tahlH. 105 to 99 against it. in favor of McKay's bill. Of ihe 105 ayes, seventy-seven were Whigs, all who were elected but four; and 38 Locos. All the nays were Loco Focos, except one Whig from Georgia. Here they are: Every Loco Foco from Maine Every Loco Foco from New Hampshire Halfofxhe Loco Focos from Conn. A maj. of the Locos from N. Y. Every Loco Foco from Virginia Every Loco Foco from N. Carol inaf Ei-ery Loco Foco present from Georgia Everv Loco Foco i'rom S.Carolina 4 4 o 12 10 4 4 7 5 3 3 1 4 G Every Loco Foco from Alabama Every Loco Foco present from Miss. Every Loco Foco from Louisiana The Loco Foco from Arkansas Every Jjoco Foco present from Missouri Every Loco Foco from Illinois Every Loco Foco present from Indiana Every Loco Foco from Ohio Every Loco Foco but one from Kentucky Every Loco Foco present from Tennessee Every Loco Foco Irom Michigan Making a Loco Foco vote of 98 Being moke tiia.v three-Fourths of the whole Loco Foco delegation in Congress, voted AGAINST the present Tariff and in favor of sustaining the LOCO FOCO TARIFF BILL, of Mr. M'Kav Why the Locos did not pass M'Kay's bill, and thus destroy all proteciion, may be seen by the following declaration of Mr. Henly, a Loco Foco member Irom Indiana, during a discussion in the House : "The Democratic part' has been taunted with a fear of passing the late tariff bill ? I can tell gentlemen that the present Tariff will he reduced so soon as we ('he democracy) arc in full power. We very well knew that it was no use io pass it in the House now, as we have not ihe maioritv in the Senate. Give vs a ma- ;,it there, and THEN SEE IF WE DO . 25 j NOT PASS THE BILL! WE WILL DO 20!1T! FOR SUCH IS OUR PURPOSE SUCH IS OUR RESOLUTE DETER MI NATION!" The Nashville Union the Organ of Polk and Jackson, holds the following language " We wish it borne in mind, that the oppres sive Tariff of 1812 has been condemned by ev ery irue democrat, and by none more decidedly than Mr. Van Buren. That its provisions are viewed with abhorrence by Goo. Polk and his friends we need nol repeal.1' The ITricZt. We have before us a copy of the Democratic Union, a leading Polk paper, published at Har. risburo, which contains .something intended for a figure, of a dissected Coon, as a representation of the Whig Pan helow ihe hart of which, is ihe word "Anti-masonry" The Union sup poris Pufk, and endeavors to exhibit Clay a opposed lo the Tat iff. We have also before us a Polk paper pub lished in another S'aie, in which is the same figure, and where the word AntimaMonry occurs in ihe figure ajs contained in ihe Petiiusylvunia paper, are the words " High Protective Tariff." The fact exhihiis concisely, ihe trick attempi ed.towe played off. In one state. Polk is sup ported as opposed to jit Protective policy, and Clay in represented as being in fai-or of it. In Pennsylvania, Polk is said io be in favor of it, and Clay opposed to it Any person wishing to see ih evidence of the trick, can dp so by calling at the office. vVilHesbarre, Pi Advocate. Harrison's tiasaon of Gen. J&arltle. The Pilisburg Gazelle contains the following communication from a responsible source. Mr. White: Being at Washington City, in March 1841, I was accosted in Pennsylva nia Avenue, by my old friend, Major James Moorehead, of Westmoreland county, then at the seat of Government on business connected wilh his mail contracts. He was going with some friend, whose name 1 do not now remem ber, to pay his respects io General Harrison, and persuaded me to accompany them to ihe White House. We were promptly shown inio the Presi dent's reception room, and m a few minutes were joined by 'he venerable and good Harri son, who readily recognized Maj. Morehead, from meeting lum ii few weeks before at Pills burg, and, (what I thought quite remarkable) also recognized me, from having spent but a few minutes togclher at Lawrenceburh, Indi atla, in the previous October. We all knew how much ihe President was necessarily occu pied at ihe beginning of his administration, and remained with him but a few minutes, exceed ingly pleased with the ease and republican sim plicity of his manners and conversation during the interview but especially improseu wiin the manner of his allusion to Gen. Markle, our present candidate for Governor. As soon as the usual civilitics of our reception were passed, the President remembered that Gen. Markle was a neighbor of Maj. Moorehead's and en quired in the most friendly and &oliciious man ner after his health and when we were about withdrawing, charged Maj. Moorehead to renew to Gen. Markle ihe invitation he had given him at Pittsburg, to visit him at Washington ; and, said the good old soldier " Tell MARKLE when he comes lo Washington to come and ENCAMP ; at the While House. We slept together tinder ; the same blanUcl, in Uie isorlti-western owamps, and HE IS AS WORTHY OF THE PAL ACE AS 1 AM." 1 thought the compliment so rich and beautiful and so characteristic, that 1 could not forget it. Maj. Moorehead, if he ! oubtless corroborale my sees this notice will doubtles account of the incident, and the people of Penn-1 sylvania will esteem Gen. Markle none the less for the love and veneraiion with which he was rfgardeu by the goou atul lamentea Harrison than whom no one knew him belter. Testsnioziy of Jols:i Qkibscj Adams. On retiring from the Presidential office in 1829, Mr. Adams thus spoke of Mr. Clay, in a 7 j lelier addressed io a committee of gentlemen 9 in New Jersey: 4 Upon him the foulest slanders have been 5 showered. Lonn known and appreciated, as 3 successively a member of both houses of your national legislature, as the unrivalled speaker, and, at the same lime, most efficient leader of debates in one of ihem, as an able and success ful negotiator for your interests in war and in npnr!f' vvitn tore rrn nowors. anu as a nuwef f 1 . fill candidate for the highest of your trusts. j The department of stale itself was a station,! he-h.smwnl. mold confer neither! profit nor honor upon htm, but upon which he I has shed unfading honor by the manner in! which he has discharged his dulien. Prejudice and passion have charged him wilh obtaining that office by bargain atid corruption. Before you, my fellow citizens, in the presence of our country and of heaven, I pronounce that charge totally unfounded. This tribulo of justice is due from me to him, and I seize, with pleasure, the opportunity afforded me by your letter, of discharging the obligation As io my motives lor tendering lo him ihe Au fi thnt man .j, ...w ........ - .t l.. I..1.J who-qiiesliotis ihem come forward. Let nini look around among statesmen and legislaiors of this nation and ol thai day. Let him then se lect and name ihe man, whom by his pre-eminent talents, by hjs splendid services, by his ar dent patriotism, by his all-embracing public spirii, by his fervid eloquence in behalf of the rights and liberties of mankind, by his long ex perience in the affairs of the Union, foreign and domestic a president of the United States, intent only upon ihe honor and welfare of his country, ought to have preferred lo Henry Clay. Let him name the man, and then, judge you, my fellow citizens, of my motives. Mr. Clay is a practical farmer, and has done more to improve ihe agriculture of ihe country, and cspeciully of the southwest, than any other one man in the Union. ' The Buffalo Commer cial tells us he was ihe first man to import from England the best Dmhatu caltle and the best breeds of swine and take ihem io the far West. The best sheep in Spain and the host animals for breeding mules ever seen.in Kentucky, were imported by the patriotic farmer of Ashland. The best specimens of water rolled Hemp sent to ihe Atlantic cities from the southwest, came with directions published or ihe benefit of all, how lo prepare it, from life farm of this distin guished agriculturist. And yet, because Mr. Clay, seeing all loreTgr ports closed against American agricultural podncis, desires io ex tend the home consumption of these articles, he is lo be denounced as iie enemy ol lho honest culiivator ol ihe soil ! rA ewary Uauy Adv.

Bui his lodij is not the wonder. Il is his mind, ll it may be said he has aily. On ihe 8th June, JS44 Rev. John C. Bur russ, Mr. T. Brandon and myself went lo ee him, and were amazed. From himself and Mr. McLemore, (his master,) we learned l hat he has no idea of a God. When asked, "who made you?" he answered, ' nobody." He has never been but a few times half a mile from the place of his birth. He has not mind enough to do the ordinary work of a slave; eats and sleeps in the same house wiih the white folks, having his. own table and bed. lie will not ask lor any thing, nor touch food,' however hungry, unless it be offered to turn.

At this he put his hand lo chin, drew himself up and gave a silly laugh. His master said, hp diil not understand such as that. We then asked him, how much is 3,333 times 5,555. In tins instance, as in some ouierb, nc imincu serious, bepan 1o twist about in his chair, lo pick his clothes, finger nails, to look al his hands, put the points of his thumbs io his teeth, move his lips a Mule, and then seemed lo think a Jiiue, anu men nis couineo.un.0 ..uiu ..v. indications of mental agony; and so on. His master lold him to walk about and rest himself. He went into the yard and appeared to be al ternately elated with rapture, and depressed with eloom. Ho would run, jump up, throw his arms into the air above his head; then stand still, and then drag his fool over the weeds, look up and dbw n; in a word he took on all sons of crazy motions. Wo sat down to dine, and when we arose, we found him on the piaz za sitting down perfectly composed. On being Did he had done il, I said, how much is it? Ho answered, 'eigh'een millions, five hundred and fourteen ihousand, eight hundred and. fifteen.' What? saidl. He replied, '18,514,815.' We could get no cine to the mental process hv wloVh h ascertained such results. When asked, how he did ii; his unvarying answer was1 studies it up.' But what do you dp first, and what next? He merely drawled out, 'I studies it up.' He did not count on his fingers, nor any thing external, nor indeed did he seem lo count at all; and yet he combined thousands and millions, and played with their combina tions, just as others would with units. All the instruction he ever received, was from his mas ter, who learned him to count one hundred; arid would ask him 'how many twenties in a hun dred, and how many fives, &c.
