At least he declares that ha is opposed to the repeal of the present Tariff. Whether he is in favor of modifying or reducing the du ties cr r.ot, he does not say. Mr. Mc Kay's bill, defeated at ti.e last session of Cor'-ress-, was not a repeal of , ise present Taria, but it modified it essentially. . VYt all know thai the Tariff can be changed so as to meet the views of Gov. Polk and the iOcmocratie party, wiihout repealing; it. The high TartlTs if 1S24, 'C3 and '32 did not repeal the on cf 18J0, , Tbsy caly changed the duties i.j ntsny respects. The same of tha Compromise act of 1SS3; it did not repeal the T&rLT of 1833,, or any preceding Tariff law j yet it reduced the duties dawn t the maximum of 23 per cent. So that Mr, Clay will, after ail, have to write another letter to explain what he means in his lasti The Whigs Understand, or. at least, pretend to under stand him, as advocating the present tariff as it is, end so we confess we understand him. This is just the construction we should like ta have put upon this last let ter cf Mr. Clay. If we bad the privilege of defiain'' the position of Mr. Clay on the Tariff, and he was compelled to ad here tt that position, we would give him that which the protectionists of the North and East are anxious he should assume that is in favor cf the present Tariff. , I"-t r"-n t'.is h;t letter of Mr. Cljy, , ' -- !f i t f " r ! 3 1. ?rn, r cf ej" i if r :y ; . fro-3 f i i.. ,; S.:1 1; . - ; : ; v tdJii t f.
