THE TAB FI F OF 1542.
The following just views of the Tariff of
1542 are taken in that very able exposition
of Whig principles and policy, the Address
to the People of Virginia by the Whig
State Convention that recently assembled a’.
Richmond :
•• Foiled in out - just expectations of hav
ui<r our currency placed on its forrnet foot
baffled of mir ho e (to use the apt
words of Gen. Jackson) of a ‘just, safe,
and federal’ distribution of tlu> proceeds of
the public lands—disappointed of that mor
al and political reform in the principles of
administering Executive power and dis
pensing Executive patronage, to effect
which chiefly kindled our zeal anil stimula
ted out exertions in that memoiable strug
gle; the tariff alone, of all the great meas
ures fir which vve achieved that victory, has
been vouchsafed to our wishes. Assailed
with all the characteristic violence of a dis
comfited party, encountering strong oppo
sition also from many able men who sincere
ly believed its effects would be pernicious,
it was ushered into existence under thick
clouds of evil anguty, and timid a slot m of
clamors. Its effect, it was said, would he
to reduce our already ‘insufficient revenue ;
! to r ise the prices of what we imported at
least to the amount of the increased duty ;
to crush the already prostrate South, and
still further to ctipple and impoverish the
whole country. Strong as was the confi
dence of its friends, not only ttiat these re
sults would not ensue, but the reverse of
such anticipations would lie realized, yet
was the measure submitted to the test of i
experience with much solicitude—a solici
tude excited not only by the magnitude of
the direct effects of the measure itself, but
also of oilier important incidental conse
quences involved, in all likelihood, in its fail
ure or success. That experience we have
now enjoyed—the speculative has given
pi ice to the ptactical—the cobwebs of soph
istry have been swept away by the actual
results of experience j and vve point with
a triumph and exultation we shall neither
attempt to suppress nor disguise, to tesuhs
so decisive that they should set controversy
at test; so clear, that they should satisfy
every doubt ; and so full of blessings to the
country that they should disarm all opposi
tion. Instead of yielding only some twelve
or thirteen millions of revenue, ns predicted
by its opponents, not less than eighteen mil
lions have been poured by it, during the past
year, into the public. Treasury—an amount,
it deserves t > be remembered, according
verv nearly with the estimates of its friends,
and’ affording, if not a convincing proof, at
least a strong corroboration, both of the ac
curacy of their data’ and the soundness of
their inductions. We have the authority of
the eminent Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee of Finance for stating that, instead |
of the predicted rise in price of every niti
de included in the tariff to the extent of the
increased duty, it is believed there exists
hot even a.single instance of 6ny such result
having taken place; but, on the contrary,
almost every sucli article is now procurable
in the market at a price less than it could he
bought for before the tariff took effect ; and
this important assertion, which, it well
founded in its whole extent, or even if it
approximate the truth, should of itself he
decisive iti favor of the qualified and moder
ate tariff policy which vve advocate, is en
tirely ill accordance with all the infoimation ;
in possession of this Convent on.
” The devoted South, whose ruin, accord* j
ing to the sinister auguries of those who as- j
sumed to he her more peculiar guardians,
was to he consummated by this worst of
all tariffs.’ begins again, we rejoice to see,
to walk erect in her strength—to recover,
tinder its kindly and fostering influences,
from its recent prostration, and to stmt again
on her accustomed and unrivalled caieer of
successful industry and enterprise. Ihe
whole country feels its vivifying influence.
It has unlocked and given activity to mill
ions of capital that had long lain dormant nr
in a slate of decay among us. By enabling
the industry of oiir citizens to compete, on
terms of some equality, with the labor of
Europe, it has given employment and con
tent t.) thousands on thousands of our citi
zens, whom a previous unfortunate policy
had thrown out of their accustomed and
more profitable avocations, on less p indue- j
tivc employments, or yet worse, on courses
of idleness and vice ; and, by substituting J
an active demand, eo-cxtensive with the <
now wants and new means thus brought in- .
to existence, where before there was none,
for die products of a thousand associated
Occupations—for the cotton and sngat of the j
South; the flour and beef of the West; the
manufacturing skill of the North, may he
justly said to have given u now impulse to
every branch of Ameiican industry, agri
cultural, commercial, and mechanical.^
“ Thus complete Inis been the fulfilment
of the promises of its friends—thus •*•*<•*
’he falsification of'the ill-omened predic
tions of its enemies.
” Wo might, we know, give greatly more
xtrengt i to some of these views by laying
before you the numerous facts which exist
mi omul us, tending to support them hut we
aru too well a warn how easy it is to mislead;
in reference to a subject so vast and vat led
as this, by the disingenuous and deceptive
citation of isolated instances, to cite less
than all ; and to cite all, or even a conside
table number, would plainly he out of place
here, and too much extend and encumber
this Address. It is a measure that cannot
he judged by special instances. In a work
of such extent, variety, and complication, it
were a miracle if instances to support al
most any position might not be quoted—if
C ’-ses of error, too, did not exist. But, with
this qualification, vve accept the issue ten
dered, and go before the country on the
tariff of 1843, •in principle and in detail.’ —
And we appeal, before an enlightened peo
ple, against the barren sophistries and de
feated pi edict ions by which it has been as
sailed, to the abundant revenues it lias fur
nished—to the lower prices of articles of
import—to the restoration of the credit of
out Government—to the greater activity
and better rewards of all luanches of do
mestic industry, and the revival, more and
more distinctly manifesting itself, of the
general prosperity which has followed ,'n its
train, to demonstrate its wisdom and vindi
cate its title to the grateful and zealous sup
port of the country.”

[from our correspondent.]
MilledgeviUe, March 2\st, 1844.
Mr. Hanleiter —At your request, I give
von a hasty sketch of the reception of Mr.
Clay at this [dace, yesterday. I will remark
at the outset, that I never saw better order,
or more decorum preserved on such ar, oc
casion. There were, owing to the unfor
tunate mistake made as to ihe day Mr. Clay
would arrive here, but about one thousand
genilemen present, with about half that num
ber of ladies.
Mr. Clay arrived at a few minutes past
12, noon, nrid was received in front of tlie
“ Harry Clay House,” where a pint-form
had heen erected, and around which the
gentlemen had formed, in good order, giving
such space as to give all an opportunity to
see and hear—the ladies, having accepted
the politeness of its gallant host, occupied
the open gallery above. There was no wild
huzzaing when Mr. Clay arrived —but n
general burst of good old Georgia feeling,
which came diiectly from the heart. All
who had not before had the pleasure of see
ing Mr. Clay seemed struck, and delighted,
with the fi mness of step, and the elect and
gallant hearing of his tall, majestic person.
There was nothing of that decrepitude which
we naturally look firm his age. Providence
seems to have smiled propitiously upon him,
and peifiiitted him, with the experience of
over three sente years, to possess till the vig
or of mind and body enjoyed at meridian
life. After being seated a few moments up
on the platform, Governor Crawford arose,
and in a fine minute address, nave him the
most appropriate and eloquent reception 1
ever had the pleasure to listen to.
I must, however, before I proceed, give a
little incident which nccured just before
Governor Crawford arose, anil which exci
ted some vetv pleasant amusement to those
nigh enough to enjoy it. Onr friend, Co'on
el Dawson, as the personal friend -of Mr.
Ciay, had been prevailed upon by the Com
mittee to take a seat upon the plat-firm with
them. It so happened, that Mr. Clay took
n seat on tlie Ninth of tlie plat form, facing
Colonel Dawson, who sat on the South side ;
this threw the sun immediately in Mr.Clay’s
eyes, which, when Colonel Dawson discov
ered,he immediately tfnisc and asked him to
change seats, remarking very pleasantly as
lit* changed his position, 44 Come over here,
Mr. Clay, we intend to get you on the South
side.” To which Mr. Clay rejoined, in the
same humor : 44 Ah ! Dawson, you can’t
come that over me—l'm on all sides 1”
After Governor Crawford concluded, Mr.
Clay addressed the audience in a speech of t
some hour and a half. I cannot attempt to j
give the substance of the speeches made up
on the occasion. If I wete to attempt it, 1
should fail to do justice to the parties. Mr.
Clay did not intend to make anything like a
speech, hut Governor Crawford alluded to j
several incidents in his history, which called \
hi" 4 out ; and, us lie remarked, there is I
something in these Georgia faces which
muke o man talk whether ha wants to or
not, Affer the ceremony of reception was
over, Mr. Clay retired to his room, which
bsd been most lustily filled up for him by
Mr, McCombs, arid was introduced to the
City Authorities, with many others ;■ uller
which, he repaired to the assembly room,
where the ladies hail congregated, arid was
introduced to some htmdreds of Georgia’s
fair daughters.
A great number then sat down to dinner
wiih him, arid Frnd the pleasure of hearing
him converse in that playful, unrestrained
manner which sits so naturally upon him.—
After dinner, Mr. Clay vfas introduced to a
great number of his felhrrv-citizens, of both
political parties; after Which, he retired to
the Executive Mansion, and became lire
guest of Governor Crew foul,
A; n few minutes after 9 in the evening,
Mr. Clay entered the Ball Room, where the
young people were enjoying themselves it 1 ,
the merry dance, and mixed indiscriminate
ly with the assembly, delighting every body
with the playfulness of his manner and the
raciness of iiis anecdote. He retired between
10 and II to take some repose from the fa
tigues of his journey. He will dine today
with Governor Crawford, in company with
a number of friends, and leave this evening
for Savannah, where lie has some private
business to fransact.
There was fro person who saw him—no
matter of what party —who did not feel an
enthusiastic admiration of him as one of the
greatest men of the age. Nor was there
one who did not, in heart, acknow ledge the
sublimity of his character, when he saw him
,’tamling up at the Capita! .f Georgia, and
fearlessly proclaiming the opinions he enter
tained, without regard to the effect it might
have upon his prospects of success in the
approaching contest.
I learn he will visit ynuv place towards
the last of the month, and I do hope no one
within tlie reach of your place, no matter
what his politics may he, will lose the oppor
tunity of seeing him for himself.
Yours, S.

MR. JAMES W. WALES.
We learn from tiie “United States Ga

Lousiville have caused to be prrpared a
lieauttful gold medal, which they have pre
sented In Mr. Janies W. Wales, the Pur
ser’s Clerk, of the United Stales brig Som
ers, through whose means the mutiny on
hoard of that vessel was first discovered.—
Mr. Wales has been for some time a resi
dent of Louisville, and the medal is given
as a testimonial of the estimation his servi
ces on that tryiftg occasion have procured
for him from those who are his neighbors.
On one side of the medal is the following
inscription: “The citizens of Louisville.
Kentucky, testify their gratitude and ad
miration for the heroic conduct and fearless
fidelity of James W. Wales, on hoard
the biig Somers, Nov. 2Gth, 1842, when

of the lives of American seamen.” On the
other side—“ A testimonial of the people

iiis duty in the hour of peril.”
