Mr. Blaxs, the anthcrof the letter Which

masterly 4rgumerit against the -Tariff of 1842,
so warmly approved by the Democrats, and so
injudiciously and vainly assailed by the Feder

measure, as all can now .perceive, have been

To every son of toil, Mr. IiCUKE'S letter is
deeply inleresting. To every farmer—to ev
ery mechanic -4o every laborer, it is a proud l
proof that. the Tariff of 1846, so far from cov
ering the land with ruin, as predicted by the'
present enemies of the Democratic party, is a
measure calculated to, dispense blessings and 1
benefits upon the whole Union. lie gives the!
facts and the figures. lle, shows how superior!
it is, in all respects, to all the other Tariffs that I
have preceded it. Ile shows how it has aided!
the farmer, by opening to him the .markets of
the world, .and how it 'is aiding all classes of in
dustry. Read his unanswerable statement for
yourselvesl and then dare Federalism Co deny
it.
WAsitiNing:g, Sept. 23, IS-17
Dear Sir:—Agreeably to your request, made
tome when you 'were in this city a few days
since, I proceed' to give you some facts illustra
tiVe of thej operation of the Tariff of MO.
You are aWare that Rut Very partial and im
perfect returns have lieen received of the trade
and commerce of the Vnioti, since the last 're
port of thcj Register of. the Treasury has been
published,!and dinee tbe close of the last COM
mercial year, which is:considered by merchants
to end the last day of August of each- year.
But such returns as have been received afford
the most gratifying results,
1, will endeavor
_to give you a view of the
eommercial.operatiums of the last year, particu
larly with rieference totheir connection with the
agricultural interests of the country ; although
1 must pren'iise, in the outset, that neither my
time nor the general returns which . 1-have been
so fortunate as to obtain, Will permit rue to go
much into detail. . .
1 will first give you, in contrast, the returns
of,' 1 •••• otp4rt trade for the Port of New York;
(those: t4."r.,," s it Laving
bean receiVed,) for the first eight months of the
years 1647, lwlli, and, .1.47 They are ;as

The Tariff 0f,1846 went into operation Dec.

York for the period above mentioned of the
present year, were under the existing tariff.
The exportb for the years 1845 and 1846, were
under the ariff of 1842.
The 'who amount of the exports from the
IPort of Ne I •
