ths .:ron-cst testimony. His numerous
a:J repeated declarations, nnnouncin? his
atli.crence lo the principles of the Conn

Ti.:J condition cf things alarmed the
f.icr: 's of Mr. Clay, sad the advocates of a
L'-'i t-riT, so much that they were deter
rniaed la ha v another letter from Mr.Clay,
in w!,u:h hai s i that no should renounce
all f.rraor opinions , and' declarations sad
declare himself ia faror of the present Ta
riffwhich ho has done, we think, ia his
letter to Mr. Cere, and which was puh
liahed in eur piper a law days sjo. 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. ,

tcl!s fhera that they do not want but
COOjCOOj r J ea one occasion, at lensi, he
went aa low as G13,CC0,CC3. f If Mr.
CI y is in favor of the present tariff re
maining as it is, he must be in favor cf
raising $10,000,000 every year "from the
pockets of the people, when they , .da not
require for the support of government but
20, or at the most but ,$'45,000,000: - ,
All those who support Mr. Clay, if no
is in favor of continuing the present tariff
must be in favor of raising annually 15 or
$20,000,000 from the people; for wh'ch
amount there is no necessity, end which
can be characterized by no - r:her name
than absolute plunder.
Hence it will be perceived, that the po
sition ia which Mr. Clay is placed by ibis
last letter, is far worse than his former
positions in whicn it was supposed ne sa-
herd te the "pint 1 01 tho ccTjrorruse act.
