Polk's Tariff Lotter to ff. IL Moe,
Much is daily said, and frequent reference made
by the Loco Foco leaders to Mr. Polk's letter to 3.
Polk is in favor of
K. Kane, as evidence that IV
such a Tariff as the people of Pennsylvania desire.
Such assertions and such reference are an insult to
every intelligent man who can understand the En
gimh language; and hardly deserve a contratiction,
much less any effort to expose such shallow attempts
at deception. That letter needs but to be read, to
he understood. Mr. Polk does not pretend he has
ever changed his views upon the subject, on tho
contrary, he shows that he has not. This letter
. .
simply'tellsthereaderwhere he can find those
opinions as he, Mr. Polk, "has often given them to
the public"— , in his public acts and discussions in
. .
To his public acts and
which he hasparticipated."
discussions, the reader is referred; and in them he
can find his opinions, fir he has not changed them.
It• is often useful if not absolutely necessary, to
have the proof at hand. to expose, even a palpable
absurdity. In order therefore to furnish your rea
ders, a brief, and convenient compendium of Mr.
Polk's Tariff opinions, I have compiled some of
his "acts and discussions"—and have inserted
them in his letter, that James K. Polk, may thus
tell the people, what James K. Polk means in his
letter to J. K. Kane. His explanations are in Val
ics, and are inserted where he refers to them. In
this shape it makes it a whale letter—and none can
complain, as it is all Mr. Polk's own language ex
cept the , last, which is extracted from the resolutions
of the Baltimore Convention, also referred to in the
letter. Most of the extracts from his "acts and
discussions' are taken from, Mr. Polk's letters,
speeches, &c., as I find them in a paper openly ad
vocating his election. Should you think the whole
of use for publication it is at your disponi._
COLUMBIA, Tennessee,
June 19, 1844. S
DEAR Sin:—l have received recently
several letters in reference to my opinions
on the subject of the tariff, and among
others yours of the 30th ult. My opin
ions on this subject have been often given
to the public. They are to be found in'
my public acts, an.' in the public discus
sions in which I have participated. " The
difference between the course of the II hig
party and myself is, that whilst they are
the advocates of distribution and a pro
•tective Tariff, measures which 1 CONSI
DER RUINOUS to the country and es
pecially to the interests of the planting
states I have steadily OPPOSED BOTH.
—AU who have observed my course, know
that I have at all times been OPPOSED
to the PROTECTIVE TARIFF— I was
opposed to the Protective Tariff of 1828,
and voted against voted for the act
of 1832 BECAUSE it REDUCED THE
TARIFF of 1828 to lower rates. That
made SOME REDUCTION but NOT
AS MUCH as I desired."
1 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 Duvet nment economically administer
ed. "lam opposed to the act of 1842,
not regarding it to bo a revenue turf, but
in many of its provisions highly protective
and oppressive in its character. lam in
favor of the restoration of the comprom
ise act of 1833." In adjusting the details
of a revenue tariff, I have heretofore sanc
tioned such moderate discriminating du
ties, as would produce the amount of rev
enue needed, and at the same time afford
reasonable Incidental protection to our
home industry. lam opposed to a tariff
for protection merely, and not for revenue.
" 1 voted for the act of 1832 BECAUSE
it reduced the tarif o f 1828 to lower rates.
1 voted for the act of 2d Antra& 1833, (the
compromise act) which REDUCED the
rates of the act of 1832 to STILL LOW
ER RA7'ES and FINALLY nnounwr them
down to a point at .which no article was
after the 30t/r June, 1842 to be subject to a
duty higher than 20 PER CENT. This
was the law when the lti hig Congress came
into power. My own opinion is that wool
should be duty free."
Acting upon these general principles,
it is well known that I gave toy support to
the policy of Gen. Jackson's administra
tion cn this subject. mos I against the
tariff act of 1828. hoi pawn the act of
1832, which contained modifications of
some of the objectional provisions of the
act of 1828. As a member of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means of the House
of Representatives, I gave my assent to a
bill reported by that Committee in Decem
ber, 1832, making further modifications of
the act of 1828, and making also discrim
inations in the imposition of the duties
which it proposed. That bill did not pass,
but was superseded by the bill commonly
called the Compromise bill, for which I
voted.
In my judgment, it is the duty of the
governnent, to extend, as far as it may be
practicable to do so, by its revenue laws
and all other means within its power, fair
and just protection to all the great inter
ests of the whole Union, embracing agri
culture, manufacturers, the mechanic arts,
commerce, and navigation. "1 am op
posed to a tar if for Protection. I hare
at all times mooed the protective policy.—
lam in favor of a tariff for revenue and
opposed to a tariff for protection. In the
present Usti] canvass for Governor I had
avowed my opposition to the tariff act of
the late Whig Congress as being highly
protective in its character and not design
ed as a revenue measure.' I had avowed
my opinion in my public speeches that the
interests of the country and especially of
the producing and exporting stairs requir
ed its repeal and the restoration of the
principles of the Compromise tariff-art of
1833. lam not in favor of the tariff -act
now in force passed by the last Congress,
[of 1842.] I heartily approve the resolu
tions uqon this subject,passed by the Dem
ocratic National Convention, lately as
sembled at Baltimore. "It is the duly
of every branch of the Government to en
sure and practice the moat rigid economy
in conducting our Witte affairs and that
no more revenue ought to be nitrid than is
required to defray the necessary expenses
of Government."
lam, with great respect,
Deal. sir, yeer os't. servant,

of disease by the use of Dr MoFFAT's
LIFO MEDICINES, is no longer an experi

many thousand patients will satisfactorily

knowledge of Dr. MOF FAT , where the pa

or ten of these had been considered hope.
less by their physicians. Such happy re
sultsare a source of great pleasure to Dr.
M., and inspire him with anew confidence
to recommend the use of his medicines to
his fellow citizens.
The LIFE MEDICINES are a purely t'E•
GETABLE preparation. They are mild and
pleasant in their operation, and at the
same time thorough--acting rapidly upon
the secretions of the system—cal rying off
all acrimonious humours, and assimilating
and purifying the blood. For this reason,
in aggravated cases of Dyspepsia, the
Lite Medicines will give relief in a shorter
space of time than any other piescription
In Fever and Ague, Inflammatory Rheu
matism, Fevers of every description, sick
Headaches, heartburn, ll,zziness in the
Head, Pains in the Chest, Flatulency, Im
paired Appetite, and in every disease ari
sing from impurity of the blood, or a dis
ordered state of tote stomach, the use of
these medicines has always proved to be
beyond doubt, greatly superior to any
other mode of treatment.
All that Dr. Moffat asks of his patients
Is to be particular in taking them according
to the directions. It is not by a newspaper
notice, or by any thing that he may say in
their favour, that he hopes to gain credit.
It is alone by the result of a lair trial. Is
the reader an invalid and does he wish to
know whether the Life Medicines will

If, during the continuance of storms and

become so obstructed as to afford an insuffi
cient outlet for the superabundant waters,
we can expect nothing less than that the
urrounding country will be
Overwhelmed with the Flood
In like manner with the human body—it
the skin, kidneys and bowels (the natural
outlets for useless and corrupt humors) be
come so obstructed as to fail in affording a
full discharge of those impurities which are
in all cases
THE CAUSE OF SICKNESS,
we surely can expect no other results than
that the whole frame will sooner or later be
OVER f 4 HELMED H ITH DISEASE
As in the first place, if we would prevent
an inundation we must remove all obstruc
tions, in order that there may be no hind
rance to the free discharge of the supera

we would prevent and cure disease, we must

promote a healthy discharge from the lungs,

Cli• Read the following from Dr. Jacob
Hoffman,a physician of extensive practice in
Huntingdon county:
Dear Sir:-1 procured one bottle of Dr.
Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, from
Thomas Read, Esq. of this place, and tried
it in a case of obstinate Asthma on a childof
Paul Schweble, in which many other reme

Package Sales of Boots and Shoes,
(Evtry Turstlay morning, at 10 o'clock,)
Dlr G. W. LORD.
CARD.—A combination having been
formed by a portion of the Dealers in Boots
and Shoes of this city, with the avowed ob
ject of suppressing the sale of those goods
by auction, it seems proper far the subscri
ber, (who has held these sales for the past
eighteen months) to state that notwithstand
ing this combination, the sales will not be
stopped, but on the contrary, as he will now
rely more than ever on the patronage of the
country Merchants, the sales will be held
every Tuesday morning,at the auction store,
208 Market Street, and his arrangements
with the Manufacturers, both of this city
and all New England. are such as to insure
him a constant and full supply of every de
scription of goods.
The mere fact of so great an effort being
made to put down these sales, is the best
evidence the country Merchants can have,
that it is for his interest to sustain them.
