To illustrate the extreme liber- a ]j t y ~f Britisli legislation on tliis subject, rve will again refer to the article of tobacco. Os this article the United States expor'ed Great Britain in 1840 the value of S3, 350,509. Upon this aniount Great Biitian collected duties rising in the aggregate to 622,537. 40u ! Thus, from the single article f tobacco she derived a revenue of twenty flCo anil a half millions of dollars —mote than the whole amount of revenue derived j )V ,|,e United States in the same year from ditties on imports of eyerv kind and from „11 countries. This is “ reciprocity,” as Poland understands it. And it is with Biicii facts before them that the Free Trade advocates call upon us to emulate British liberality and throw open our ports to the fabrics of the Manchester manufacturers! This would lie “ Free Trade” with a ven geance !—Albany Evening, Journal. 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.” How will you have it —The Locos in this State are crying out for change in the Tat iff —in Alabama, for a repeal of the Tariff-—in Louisiana, for a Tariff dial will protect Su gar—in Vermont, for a Tin iff dint will protect wool—in Michigan, for wo Tanff— in New York, lora Judicious Tariff— in South Caro lina, I'm horizontal Tariff and wo Tariff-—in Indiana, for a less Tariff-—in New Hamp shire, for least Tariff. &c., &<■., &c. hor izontal, judicious, incidental, equal, more, less, least, no Tut iff!

We learn from the Charleston 44 Courier,” of Tuesday last, that Mr. Calhoun has ac cepted the office of Secretary of State.— That paper sayst 44 In accepting this office, at the present juncture, and under existing circumstances, Mr. Calhoun cannot but he regarded as having sacrificed much for the good and at the call of his country ; and the pattiotic. act will he doubtless uni vet sal ly appreciated. He is eminently qualified for tlie administration of the state depart ment, and it is especially cause for congratu lation that he should he placed at its head, when the adjustment of the delicate ques tions of Texas and the Oregon demand all the wisdom and prudence of the most gift ed statesmanship. Tito following is an extract from a letter received in this city yesterday afternoon, announcing the foregoing intelligence: Pendleton, March 15, 1844. “ I was with Mr. Calhoun to day. The mail came freighted with letters from his fi tends urging his acceptance. You will he gratified to learn that he could not resist “ this call of his country upon his patriot ism,” and that as early as practicable he will pass through tiie old city, on his way to Washington. Texas and Oregon will be the absorbing questions for his great mind, and depend upon it, his wisdom, firmness and modelatioti will secure botli to this Union.” borrowers.

[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. DOMr.SIIC CARPETING. A friend handed us a few days since a % t small piece of carpeting, or matting, which was manufactured by a lady of Walton county. The warp is of cotton and the fil- | ling of the hark of the p'oplar tree. It is a very pretty article, and will no doubt wear well. It may he seen at our office. flay ct.irit. Whigs, don't forget the meeting of the Club to-morrow afternoon. There is much to he done by way of preparation, to render Mr. Clay’s visit agreeable—and we have hut a short time to do it in. Let every Whig who can possibly leave his wntk.be at the meeting. See notice in another col umn. CAPTAIN STOCKTON. Ii is reported that this gentleman has set tled SI 0,000 upon Mrs. Gilmer, the widow of the late lamented Secretary of the Navy —and that he has adopted two sons of Com modore Kennon, anniheF of the unfortunate victims of the recent explosion. Captain Stockton is represented to be worth $500,- OCO. Mr. Gilmer left five children; he was not wealthy, and the aid which Capt. S. has so libel ally advanced is ns necessary as it is benevolent. MR. JAMES W. WALES. We learn from tiie “United States Ga zette” tfiat a number of tlie citizens of 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 mutiny was about to cause tlie destruction of the lives of American seamen.” On the other side—“ A testimonial of the people to an American Seaman, who performed iiis duty in the hour of peril.” fly* Mr. Clay received a warm and cheer ing reception in Macon. He was welcom ed to the hospitalities of the city by Wash ington Poe, Esq. to which he responded in a speech of some two hours in length. He is at present in Savannah.
