The

Upon hu Irieniis as his supposed ene
mifts. for whom they are intended The
wriier says: "In vain do we look into
ihis hill (oi protection to ihe fanner ol
Indiana. VVe beg pardon, to preserve
appearances of impartiality, it is most
graciously provided in Ihis bill, that any
heel, pork, wheal, flour, oa's and corn
imported from abroad shall pay a fluty
as il we were afraid that ihe half starv
ed of foreign countries could spare
these articles, send them here and un
dersell us.
This is nothing but the
mockery of proteciion to the farmer "
This is certainly a happy hit at the Ta
riff of 1H42, even if it should not be ao
complimentary to ihe candor of tho
wriier, for he well knew at the time he
penned the article, that Ihe Tarill" of
1824, as well as that o( 1S2S, conlained
the very same provisions, and that they
were merely copied into the Tariff ol
1842. Let us place this mailer in a pn
aition from which tho writer cannot es
cape. We copy from ihe Tariff of 1824:
'On wheal 25 cenis per bushel, wheat
flour 50 cents per cwt., potatoes 10 cts
per bushel." A motion was made to
strike these items from tho hill, and up
on the yeas and nays it wns decided in
the negative. Andrew Jatkson. John U.
Eaton, Richard M. Johnson, and Martin
Van Buren voiing against striking out.
(See Senate Journal. 1824 ) Was "this
the mockery of protection lo the farm
er?" Again, iho wriier says: ' Mark
the deception; il is provided in another
part of the same bill thai all notion cloth
which is not worth more than 20 cents
a square vnrd shall be valued up to 20
cents; now there is n great deal of lhat
article thai costs mil y I root 8 in 10 cents
to make it at the factory, Bnd this is
what ia generally used, especially by
ihe laboring part of ihn people, and vet
by ihis unjust law ihis it. valued as high
as the superior article, lhat is at 20 cents
a yard." This statement is made by
the wriier as if these minimums on im
ported goods were first introduced by
iho Tariff of 1842. Why did ho not
inform the people lhat ihev were intro
duced bv Mr. Calhoun in 1810. lo pre
vent fraud on the revenue? Why did
he not infcnn his renders lhat in every
tariff since Ihe same principle had been
maintained? Why not givn the follow
ing extract from ihe tariff of 1 842 ?
"Thnl nil unhlpBchcd and uncnlnred col
ton iwist, yarn or thread, the original
coal of which shall be Ipss than fit) cents
per lb,, and shall he charged with duly
accordingly" Thn same, princtp e was
adopted as to woolen aod cntlnn goods;
and yet strange lo tell, these hioh Pro
tective lariffs, containing all these odinis
provisions, in ihe eves of the writer of
the pamphlet, wero pass"il by ihe voles
of Andrew Jackson, John II. Baton,

Jr., James Buchanan, and H'ji Hen
dricks So much lor ihese important
discoveries in ihe tariff of 142 But
tho writer has made another equally
candid charge against Ihe aclioh nl ihp
Senate pending the progress ol the bill.
He says 'On thn 2d day of August,
1N42, Mr. Tnppan.one ol ihe Senators
from Ohio, moved to amend ihe bill by
providing lhal, whenever our corn, flour
and sailed provisions shall be received
fres ol doty imo any nation of Europe,
that the President shall make proclama
lion of the fact lo the people of ihe Unl
led Slates, and thai three months nlier
wards ihe anie'es made in that nation
should b admitted into lha United
States at only 20 per cent, lax on ihe
value. F.ery whig Senator vnled a

Senators Irnm Indiana. Smith jt White,
every Democratic Senator voted lor it,"
Mere again the memory nl ihe wriier,
or raiher his industry failed him he (Ore

vO'O he speaks of was (liven in ih Sen -ate

however, wns long since published in
the Slate Sentinel, and exposed in ihe
Indiana Journal.
TUB SALT DUTY.
The wriier of the pamphlet ha so
leclcd rhe duiv levied on Sail bv bi
Tariff of IN42, as especially objections
ble. Ho is welcome lo all the capiiul
he can make out of ihe suit auction -
But hear him. He says: "Salt, lhat
prime necessary of life, which the
wealthy inhabitant of the city noi only
uses on his table, but whih 'he west
ern farmer uses so txtensvely to save
his pork and beef, bacon, and to salt his ;
stockthis article even in tax oppressed t

"
liberty, whether we hnve so many
stump professions (or the poor, the poor
man's sail is severely laxd; aye, taxed
by this boasted Tariff, this poor man's
Iriend." Wou'd not the reader be led
to believe from ihe above lhal ihe Ta
riffof 1842 was ihe first act that levied
a duly on imported Salt? Such certain'
iy was iho imprpssion the wriier iniend
ed lo create. How ihen stands ihe
case? Under 'he Tarill of 1816, a duty
ol 20cenlsper buthel wip collected on
imparled salt; by lha Tariff of 1824,
the same duly was continued, and this
act passed by ihe voles of Andrew Jack
son. Martin Van Buren, Richard M
Johnson, John H Eauin, and Thomas
H Benton. When ihe tariff of 1828.
wns under consideration, an attempt was
made to modily this duty, Mr. (.'handler
of Maine, in the Senate, moved on ihe
Oih ol May, to amend ihe bill aa follows
"Thai in lieuot the duties now im po
led by taw on imported sail, 20 cenis
per bushel) Irom and alicr the 80lh day
ol June, 1829, the duties on imported
sail shall be fifteen cents per- bushel .
weighing filty six pounds." Upon Ihis
Amendment sinking off one fourh of ihe
duty on salt al once and one hall after
the 30th of June. ISJiWj ihe loilowmg
Senators voted in the negative. Martin
Van Buren, Richard M Johnitin, Mah
Ion Oickerion, and Williatn Hmdricki
and the sail duty was lull at 20 cents
the bushel, and from thai until it lell
under ihe operation of the compromise
act, it stood at 20 cents Such was the
lax levied and collected upon ibis arti
cle during ihe whole ol the ndmmistra
lion ol General Juekson. while the dem
ocrats held 'h" Government, except as
il was modified by ihe compromise act.
Had the writer of the pamphlet forgot
inn all this? lhal is the most charitable
view of the subject, or he surely would
nol have omiited so important a pari ol
the history ol thn salt duiv. A word as
to the act of 1842, at which ihe writer
of the nainnlilel looks wilh such ho'y

"A few month" ago I buried my eldest
son a fine manly bnv of eight years ol
age who hud never had a day'i illness
until that which took him hence in be no

order to recover a cap belonging lo lha
