The following letter was commenced as an answer to an individual friend, and was. in the fiist conception, destined only for hint; but, before it was despatched, I became of opinion, fmm various sources of intelli gence, that many others besides that friend, deemed some explanation of my course and principles on the tint! question to tie incufn!>eiit on me. I fell surprise on discovering the existence and extent of this feel ing, and determined to meet it by a somewhat full res ponse and vindication ; and, as the letter which I had cuntmenced appeared to be os convenient n vehicle as I could adopt, it strack me as admissible to save the labor of recasting what I had written into another fi r.n. I have said thus much, fellow ciliten*. tb explain 10 you how I was led to adopt a form other than that of direct address to yourselves. I pray you, read what I have written in the spirit with which it behooves a great and free people to scrutinize their own affairs, watch over their rights and inteiests, and pass upon the conduct and opinions of their public servant*. When you shall have done Ibis, I feel deeply assured that, however some of you may at present dissent from my views on the tarilT. none will consider them as be ing in discord with the principles which I have al ways been known as holding, anj which’ have always heretofore characterized t the State-Rights Whig parly of Georgia, If ever there was a time w hen a southern public tarifT. Yes. sir. with the southern whig aid decidedly gi'en to litis great object during the present res-ion of Congress, the principles ofa legitimate revenue tariff ——that is to say, of a InrifTimposinglhe lowest duties compatible with an adequate supply of revenue, snd so laying those duties as lo distribute the burthen fairly among the various part* of the country—could bo tri- -umphanlly sustained in both^Iour-e.-*; for never wus this great and noble cause so strong ps at this session, from the northern, middle and western States. Hut most unfortunately, it is at the same time ttue that it never w-as so weak as now from the south ; a weak ness owing to the loss of support from southern whieri Hence, if that cause, instead of being sustained as it ought to be in the present Congress, shall go down, the responsibility for its fate will lie more, muen marc, at the door of southern whigs, than of northern derii- Ocrat*. The true and just ground of astonishment, then, w hich the case presents; is, that there should exist any danger whatever of tho desertion of the good old cause by southern whies ; and, especially, that the de sertion should he so ill-timed as to full on the very juncture at which esntiilued fidelity and support would be rewarded with the happiest success. And where do southern whigs (Georgians especial ly) place themselves by such a 1 barige of position as as they, or a considerable portion of them, now secni to be making on tho tariff question ? Certainly, in direct opposition to their former selves; in direct op position to the great leading principles and policy for man should deal with the people openly, fearlessly of] which they ha'e been contending a'l their lives. Ity consequences to himst-If, but anxiously for those that concern the south through the long tract of coming years, the ptesent is such a time. In acting on this conviction. I trust I may not be misunderstood by my whig friends. Tbe'fraternal instinct and uffection of my heart towards them is strong and undiniinished ; and I earnestly depiecate any estrangement from them, or the slightest loosening of the tics by which wc have been 60 long and so cordially bound together.

Mi Dear Sir 1 Your esteemed favor came duly to hand ; and now, after a longer delay, I assure you, than has accorded with my feelings, I proceed to an swer it with that fulnessand frankness which is at once due to our long standing friendly relations, and lo the deeply responsible position in which the people of Georgia, have placed ate as one of their Represen tatives here. I begin by assuring you that it is quite impossible I should have expressed myself in any letter to any per son, whig or democrat, in the terms, nr to tho efiect. you have quoted to me in yours. The democrats of the north have not saved the countiy on the tariff ques tion, and it would have been assuredly contrary to fact for me to have so stated. It is a thing yet to l>e seen, yet dependent on the future action of Congress, whether the country can or will he saved on the tariff question at all. If it should bo saved, it is certain that it will owe its good fortune mainly to democratic votes, parliculatly io the House of RepiesentatiVes, Where the democrats have a decided ascendancy, and w here it is notorious that the whigs. as a party, are intense ly and almost unanimously determined to resist any reduction oi the tariff It results, of course, from these facts, that should the reduction pass the House, it will be because the democratic party shall bo able, from their large majority there, to concentrate in its favor strength enough to carry it through in spile of the whig opposiiion. In that event, the responsibility of saving or refu sing to save the country on the tariff question will de volve on the Senate, where the Whigs have a Control ling majority. Whig votes will there be indispensable lo the success of the measure; and should the whig party unite against it as thoroughly there as they are expected to do in the House, it will be lost. And con sequently, if we shall l>e so fortunate as to see the re duction pass both Houses, and receive the President's sanction, the merit of saving the countiy on the tariff question (and s great merit it would he. in my estima tion) will not belong solely lo the democrats of the north, but will be shared by a democratic Hou-e, with a whig Senate, and a President who is not,in the cut- rent party acceptation, either whig or demociat. Such will clearly he the division of the honor of the measure between the great political parties in the Gov ernment. in case the bill for reducing the burdens of the people should becomes law. But suppose it should fail ; it will then become material to inquire what pro portion of the blame of its failure should properly be cast on the one party, snd what on the other. And in answer to such an inquiry, 1 should not hesitate to say that unless some great unexpected change takes place In the course of parties, the heaviest incompara bly the heaviest load ol censure and accountability will justly fall on the whig patty. A very small number of their votes in each hraneh if given to the measure, will place its sucres* beyond doubt. Now, if they shall refuse even this small amount of support, and thus de feat the bill, it is obvious that a much higher culpabil ity will attach to them for going so unitedly against .'he bill, and in that way ensuring its defeat, than will rest on tfie democrats for their mere failure to rally the whule of their parly to its support. This view becomes unanswerable when we advert to the fact that even if the whole of the democratic votes should be given in favor of the bill, they would be in sufficient to carry it through the Senate—the whigs be ing there the majority. Now, my dear air, what I stated, in very few words, st the close of* a letter on business written to a citizen of your neighborhood, and to which letter I suppose you allude in yours in me. amounted in substance to a plain expression of my opinion as to the position and sentiments of tltb two great panics here oh the sub ject ol the tariff—the most important subject, by far, except ttie que.-tion of tho annexation of Texas, which is likely to come brfote the present Congress. There is nothing strange, nothing astonishing, th the fact, that the whig* from the whole ol the non-slavehnlding r< gion should signalize themselves as the supporters of the protective system} for they have always been high tariff men in principle, and have showed themselves but loo ready to lie so. in practice. They are authors of the presnt exorbitant protective tariff, and succeeded iu the last Congress, by aid of a portion of the north ern democrats, in passing it ovrr the heads of the Rep resentative' from the smith of both parties. All the members from North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor gia, Alabama. Miss ssippi, and Arkansas voted against it ; all front Virginia but thiee , all from Tennessee, but two. And they were influenced, in so voting, hy its flagrantly unjust protective character. So strong wa* their sentiment on this point, that they not only voted against its passage, hut, after it had passed, they oted in the House to amend its title by adding there to that it was a bill to pint, ct manufacturers. Thus thought and acted the Whig members from Georgia, in > 8 1 ? 2 - T , h,,m ” F ’ U ‘ ,cl ; r L-fumble Rich- a|r ,. a() tf) h . Te a|inost ard W.

Mr. Meiiwetherliad gone homo before the such a change do they not undeniably put themselves in what they have always heretofore denounced ns an attitude of hostility to the rights the honor, and inter ests of the south 1 an hostility which they once deem ed so baleful and iniquitous, that they aroused them selves tu meet and resist it by the high and perilous remedy of nullification. The events and questions nf that struggle are indel ibly impressed on the memories of men, and buvo a profound connexion with the politics of the present day. The determined resort to her sovreign right of self protection by a single State, backed as sho was by tbe agreeing interests and sympathising temper of t ie south generally, resulted in the celebrated contpro- I mise of 1833, of which Mr. Clay was the proposer arid the great political manager who carried it through in triumph. Tq the part he acted, and the spirit ho dis played on that momentous occasion, he is indebted for the first beginning of his southern popularity. That stngie act of his life is the germ of all his strength in Georgia. Without it we never should have thought cf him aa our candidate fur the Presidency, any more than of Daniel vVcbster or John Sergeant. We s>,\v, or thought we saw, in that act, the greet and self sac rificing statesman, who uffe.’cd up on the alter of his country a system of policy to which he had ever been devoted, lo which bis whole political party were deep ly. olmo.-t insanely, wedded, and on his continued cham pionship of which all his lofty and long cherished views nf ambition seemed lo depend. We saw and felt all ibis—and wc felt, moreover,that from thenceforth wo had tbe personal honor and commanding influence of Henry Clay pledged to us of the south, and lo the whole country, for the faithful observance of the com promise. Wc felt that the tariff question, as a ques tion involving sectional controversy and the protective poliry, was indeed settled, and happily settled, and that we were safe, and Mr. Clay grew in our favor anil confidence. But this is not all. Mr. Clay has not been content to let his claims to our confidence on this subject rest merely on ihqpart he performed, anti the high obliga tions he contracted as the author of the compromise. It was reserved for him to carry hi* popularity with the whig* of Georgia still higher by a somewhat recent act, which we regarded as characteristic stroke of man ly, patriotic statesmanship. In February, 1842, he catne forward in the Senate of the United States, and, by a set of resolutions which he then offered, made tt solemn and unasked renewal of his pledge of adhe rence to the principle* of the compromise It was cer tainly, under all the circumstances, a very extraordi nary spectacle, well calculated te rivet, as it did rivet, the attention of the nation. The period was ciosc et hand when the compromise tariff would reach its last and lowest stage of reduction—a rate of 20 per cent, ad valorem. It was clearly seen that in the then exis ting state of our finances and foreign commerce, this rate was too low for the wants of tho treasuty, and that it would lie necessary, in order to meet those wants, to raise the duties to a rate above 20 per cen tum. In the midst of this slate of things stood tho author of the compromise, at once a member of tho national Senate and a candidate for the Presidency, hut with a determination, already known to the coun try, of retiring horn bis Senatorial post, in order to bo more advantageously circumstanced as an aspirant fot the ether and higer station. Before ho retired howev- tr, he felt that it behooved him, and was due to his patty, and the country, that he should make n solemn announcement pif the leading grounds on which he was to be understood as basing his candidacy. In the resolutions, which, for this purpose he offered, thesuh- ject of the tariff not only occupies much the largest space, but is of incomparably the greatest importance. By these resolutions, he declares, in substance, that adequate revenue cannot be obtained by duties, on for eign imports, without adopting a higher rate than 20 per cent.; that, llirefore. the rate of duties ought to be augmented beyond 20 per cent,, so as to raise tbe requisite revenue, and that in the adjustment of a tar- iff for this purpose, the principles ol the compromise act, generally should be adhered to, and that especial ly a maximum rate of ail valorem duties should bo cs- tablbhed, from which there ought to he as little depar ture as possible. From and after the presentment of these resolution whatever scruples were still felt in relation to Mr. Clay among the Slate rights and anti-tariff party of Georgiai gave way, and, in, in June following, be was nomina ted by a convention held in Milledgevile, as our candi date lor the Presidency, with the general and hearty concurrence of the most thorough going nuflifiers of 1832—33. who, indeed, foim the great body of the present whig patty of Georgia. But little did that party, in making the nomination, dream of such consequences, a* are now developing them-elves. Little did they dream, when they were espousing the political fortunes of the intrepid author of the compromise, and anxious re-allirmer of its prin ciples, that they were enlisting themselves in a war which, eie it should end. was destined lo have for its chief aliJ most stimulating object the utter overthrow of the compromise, and the permanent tc-establish- mcnl of the protective system—a war of w hich not only this waste be the object, hut in which they (the anti-tariffitc* and nullifiers of Georgia) were lo bo dragged by party requirement and party diseipl tie, in the train of the protectionists and federalists of the north, to fight for that object. Yet this is palpably the way in which things are now working, if it be not indeed the lesull to which come. Certainly we have abundant evidence on all side*, here.
