Mr. Clay and his party wish to mo dify the Veto Power so as effectually to destroy it, which would break down the only constitutional check which the Presi dent has on hasty or corrupt legislation in Congress. 2. Mr. Clay and his party arc trying to add to the strength of the General Gov ernment, and to weaken the powers of the State Governments: —lnstance the acts of the Extra Session, in which they claimed the right to force a branch of a U. S. Bank on the States, whether they would or not; the distribution of the proceeds of the Pub lic Lands among the States; the assump tion ofState Debts by the General Govern ment, which would make the States that are out of debt pay, by taxation, the debts of those States which owe millions!! — Also, the whig theory of internal improve ments by the General Government, which could not be made to benefit every section of country equally; but w ould enable the officers of the General Government to filch money, by taxation, from their poli tical enemies, and apply it to internal im provements forthe benefit of their friends. 3. Mr. Clay’s declarations in his letter to Mr, Meriwether, “that he would have preferred that the Compromise Act, in all its parts, could have been adhered, to;” his promise in Columbus, Georgia, in 1814, to “ adhere to the provisions of the Com promise Act;” his challenge in Charles ton, S. C., to the most vigilant il to show wherein he had viofa’cd the principles of the Compromise Act in the slightest de gree;” liis assertion in his letter to Bron son, “that there is now no necessity fsr protection.” And then his letters to Low ell and Pittsburg, in which he says, “the TARIFF ACT OF 1842 HAS OPERATED MOST BENEFICIALLY, AND HE IS UTTERLY OP POSED to its repeal,” might leave us in .some doubt as to what bis real principles on the subject of a tariff'are. But as the lust quotation is the latest we have from him, and as he is allied to the old federal party, most of the leaders of whom are manufacturers, and who we know are fa vorable to a high protective tariff, we are bound to believe he came nearest uttering his real sentiments in his last letter. We are, therefore, authorized to affirm, that Mr. Clay is decidedly in favor of the tariff •of 1842, until we hear from him again, and the above quotations wi 1 show how much confidence is to be placed in his next communication, when we get it.— Now, it w as the opinion of the honest Mr. Habersham, though he was elected by the whig party, that the tariff of ’42 was more objectionable than the act of ’2B. And man)' of the ablest men of our country have expressed the same opinion. And as I was an anti-tariff State Rights man in 1828, it is very clear that 1 cannot vote for Mr. Clay without changing. If lam told that Messrs. Polk and Dallas both voted for the taritf act ot 1832, and that I shall gain nothing by voting for them, I reply that the act of ’B2 was to reduce the act of ’2B, and though the act of ‘32 was too high, yet by voting for that, they show ed a disposition to reduce as much as they -could. 4. Several circumstances compel me to believe Mr. Clay is pandering to the fanatical whims of the abolitionists; —Ist, he is allied to many of the leading aboli tionists and receives their support. 2d. He calls slavery a “foul stajn on our national character,” and says if he “could be instrumental in ridding the COUNTRY OF THIS FOUL STAIN, HE WOULD NOT EXCHANGE THE PROUD SATISFACTION IT WOULD AFFORD HIM FOR ALL THE HONORS EVER DECREED THE MOST SUCCESSFUL CON -queror.” 3d. The letters of Mr. Sew ward, Mr. Slade, Lieut. Gov. Reed, Mr. C. M. Clay and others, all of whom are high toned anti-slavery men, leave us no room to doubt that they are making large cal culations on him to carry out their plans, first to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, w hich Henry Clay says Con gross has the constitutional right to do, and then to move but one more step and accomplish* their entire object, emanci pate all the slaves in the union- Wheth er my inferences which have been draw r n from the above facts are correct or not, one thing is absolutely certain. Mr. Clay is either an abolitionist at heart, or he has deceived his northern friends and slaveholders too, either of which renders £l)c (Georgia Constitutionalist him unfit to receive the vote of a virtuous I people. 5. Mr. Clay’s strong predilections for English fashions, which he introduces so freely in his speeches on the tariff and U. ■ S. Bank, indicate very clearly that he would favor such corporations as the East India Company, and the Hudson’s Bay Company, dec., being sustained by na tional and not by state patronage. And that he would be in favor of such patron age. And that he would be in favor of such great corporations, having great ex clusive privileges, under the plausible pretence that it would be for the national good. This system of granting exclu sive privileges by the general government to any great corporations has a direct ten tcncy to bring all the great interests of the country under the control of Congress, and concentrating the power there instead of letting it remain with the States and the people. But it has a worse tenden cy still, it gives those large capitalists who concentrate their moneyed power in large corporations, an almost unlimited power over the working classes, and tends to foster aristocracy. 6. The private and public character of Mr. Clay is represented, by many great men, as being very corrupt. Mr. John Randolph says, “Mr. Clay is eloquent but corrupt.” Thomas Jefferson and Danic-1 Webster both represent him as being elo quent, but deficient in judgment and im moral in character. Indeed, his duel with John Randolph, his conduct in the case of Gilley’s death, and the corruption in the case of John Q. Adams, which has been proven so satisfactorily by his col leagues from Kentucky, are too daring outrages to be tolerated. 7. Mr. Clay’s course through the whole of his political life, and particularly at the extra-session, shows that his am bition is unbounded, flis various theo ries of national institutions , in contra-dis finction to stats institutions, his predi lection for having all business of the nation done by the general government in stead of the state governments, and bis thirst for something new, are such as to satisfy me that he only wants an oppor tunity and power to immortalize his name both at home and abroad, by projecting splendid schemes and instituting brilliant experiments. From the movements of the vvhigs during tha little time the people trusted them with a little power in 1841 and ’42, we may reasonably infer that if they had the entire control of the govern ment, with Henry Clay at their head, they would soon leave no feature of our free government, as it was bequeathed to us by our fathers, except the name. My whig friends must therefore excuse me for not acting with them, for I cannot perceive that the state rights of 1828 are any more like the whig principles of 1844, than the music of the best piano is like the sonorous bray of the uncouth Jack A s. An Old State Rights Man. f From the Southern Banner .] TO THE HON. WILLIAM LAW, Whig Candidate for elector of President and Vice President. Mv Dear Sir, — I regret that I was too unwell to hear the whole of your argu ments, at the meeting in Gainesville, yes terday, in vindication of the political po sition which you now occupy. I was pleased with the frank and manly way in which you avowed your change of opin ion, and set forth your present views. Believing you incapable of uttering any political opinion, which you are unwilling to lay, in a more substantial and tangible shape before those to whom you have sub mitted yourself for their suffrages; and un derstanding that in the issue between the two great parties to which you and I res pectively belong, is one purely of princi ple, I do not feel that I am guilty of any act ofindelicacy, in calling on you, through the public Press, to submit through a like channel, to the examination of the People, the exposition of your principles, which you gave to the meeting in Gainesville, yes terday. If the grounds which you now occupy are correct, they can lose nothing by their publication. If they are incor rect, I trust you are too sincerely in pur suit of Truth, to regret any step which would enable us to detect your errors.— In any event the people whom you pro pose to represent, have a deep interest in understanding fully your position, and it is only through the Press that it can be fully made known. These considerations, I trust, will be sufficient to justify you to yourself, in ma king a prompt compliance with this call on your time. It may be that I and many others' of your old State Rights associates, mav learn from you to see the error of our ways, and follow you in your change. I can safely assure you, my dear sir, that as there are but few from whom I would more cheerfully learn wholesome truths, there are none whom I would sooner fol fow from error to truth —from darkness to light. Whilst I desire, in justice to yourself, that you publish the whole of your address, there are some points to which I would especially call your attention, that you may illustrate them more fully, for the purpose of placing them in a fuller light, and fortifying them more strongly. To these I now proceed to call your attention; 1. I believe you formerly considered the Protective policy unconstitutional.— AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1844. Os course you have changed your opin ions on this subject. Have the goodness to give us the grounds of that change. As I understand you to admit that whilst Pro tection to manufacturers, is necessary to command the home market, that Protec tion is a tax upon the consumer; please show us from what part of the Constitu tion, you derive the power which virtually prevents the farmer and planter from buy ing where they can buy chapest, and sel ling where they can sell highest? 2. I understood you to say that the British manufacturer can undersell the American. But you looked to a time when this will not be the case. Please say whether you advocate a system of Protection to the latter, until he can un dersell the former, which I understood you to imply; and when will that time ar rive? 3. If you continue Protection until our manufacturers can successfully compete with the “Pauper labor” of Europe, must not our own “Pauper labor” work our own manufactories, before protection ends? In England, the fields are worked by pau per labor, as well as the factories. In no country can you supply pauper laborers for one class of industry, and well fed and clothed laborers for another. Whenever you have pauper labor in our factories, it will be very near our fields also. Then if you look to pauper labor for our facto ries, you will produce it in our fields.— And protection is to be continued until a universal pauperism seizes upon the la boring class! Can you deem such a re sult desirable? I believe not, and yet it necessarily flows from the position which so many whigs assume, who justify pro tection by clamors against the competition of American operatives, with the “pauper labor of Europe.” 4. I understand you to advocate our commercial independence of all nations. Do you mean by this that we shall neith er buy nor sell abroad? If merely the former, does not the latter follow as a na tural consequence? No nation can sell that does not buy. any more than any in dividual can sell that does not buy, 5. Does the Liverpool or New York market regulate tiie price of our cotton? Which is the most important to the cotton planter? If the former, do you not lessen the consumption and consequently the price of cotton, by refusing to take from foreign nations such articles as we need, which they furnish and with which they can pay us for our cotton? 6. I understand you to say, that with the exception of some six years, there had been uniformly the balance of trade against us, amounting some years to 50 or 60 millions. Have these balances been paid, and in what manner, or are they out-standing against us? c? o 7. f understand you to say that the Bri tish Tariff’places very high or prohibito ry duties on almost all our productions. Cotton was the only exception, I think, which you made. Will you state what the rate of duty is on cotton and cotton goods, woollen goods, rough rice, iron and its products, and say whether the British or American Tariff is highest on such ar ticles as the two countries export and im port mutually? 8. I understand you to charge Mr. Cal houn with being the early champion of the protective policy, and you quoted his speech in 1816 to justify the charge.— From your response to an inquiry which I made of you, at the time, you I thought misapprehended the character of the ta riff of 1816, as well as Mr. Calhoun’s re marks quoted by you. I understood the quotation to place agriculture, commerce and manufactures on tiie same footing.— You make the two first subordinate to the latter. If lam in error, you can readily correct me, 9. I think yon have also done injustice to Mr. Madison, for I believe you will find that his recommendations for protec tion in 1816, applied to the then existing manufactories, and which had sprung up during the war just then ended. 10. You speak of the great wealth that is to be acquired by the establishment of manufactories in our mountain region. I did not understand you to say where the capital is to come from, in what century the wealth is to be acquired, what are to be the manufactories or who are to be the consumers. Please inform us on those several points. But I forbear any further reference to your remarks, in the hope of very soon having the whole speech before me, which I assure you I have every disposition to examine with candor. I will request the editors who will do me the favor to publish this, to forward you a copy. Will you do me the favor to have a copy of your address, when published, sent to me. I remain, my dear sir, Very respectfully and truly, Your obedient servant, w. C. DANIELL. Hall County, Aug. 24th, 1844. [From the N. Y. Plebeian.] THE TARIFF AND THE FARMERS OF THE EASTERN STATES. We have conversed with an intelligent Whig merchant of this city, who has re cently been on a visit through the East ern States. He informs us that almost every farmer he met with, and there were many, were hostile to the present Tariff. I No matter what their political preferences had been heretofore, they were determin ed to support Mr. Polk, on account of his hostility to the Tariff of 1842, that is so destructive to their industry. We scarcely receive a letter from the country but that informs us of the deter mination of the great body of the agricul tural population to support Polk and Dal las. The Eastern farmers in many places are surrounded by the manufacturers; they see that while the manufacturers arc getting rich they are getting poor! The advantages of the Tariff—its benefits and protec ion, are all on one side. Every thing the farmer has to sell brings less than under the Tariff of 1840, ’4l and ’42; while every thing he has to buy he 'has to pay an advance of from ten to forty per cent.! He sees that the so-called pro tection afforded by the tariff is daily im poverishing him. If he is in debt he can not meet his payments; and iflie is out of debt he cannot lay by a dollar of his hard earnings. He would be satisfied with a moiety of the 20 and 40 per cent, per an num, divided by the Mattewan and Mer rimack Companies, but his industry will not net him over 2 or 3 per cent. Under these circumstances it is not strange that the eastern as well as the western farmers, should oppose the tariff'. Mr. Clay cannot get the vote of one-third of the planting and farming population of the Union. We say this with no desire to magnify our strength, but in soberness and reality. Our friends from the coun try assure us that the great body of the farmers are with us, that no argument of our opponents can alienate them from our support. The low price of unprotected farm produce, and the high price of pro tected calicoes, &c., &c., are arguments that no ingenuity or sophistry ofthe Whigs can refute. The majority of the farmers, planters, and laborers of the Union, are with us; and their votes will decide the contest. Their decree is irrevocable—the destiny of our high Tariff opponents can now be told with certainty. The farmers arc determined that they will be protected; they demand a Tariff for the purpose.— They insist upon at least an equal share of the bounties of Government. Or more correctly speaking, they are determined that the burthens of Government shall not be more grievous to them than to the man ufacturers [From the N. O. Bulletin .] FRENCH AND ENGLISH COTTON FABRICS. The difference in the value of the cot ton man’factures of England and those of France is very remarkable. In 1840, the piece-goods entered as exported from Great Britain were estimated to weigh 225,779,442 lbs., and were valued £16,- 578,040, being at the rate of Is. s \d. per lb., or 3-£ francs per kilogramme; where as, the French value their exports at 26| francs per kilogramme. The French Cot ton stuffs exported in 1841 were valued as follows: Kilogrammes. Value. Toiles et percales (ca licoes) 713,386 at 15f. 10,700,790 f. Teints et imprimes (prints) 3,428,208 at 26f. 89,133,4084. Cires (wax-cloth) 5,250 41,250 f. Mouchoirs (hdkfs.) 461,752 at 26f. 12,005,5524. Muslin 274,299 at 304. 8,228,9704.

The British and Foreign Quarterly Re view, from which we derive these facts, believes that France is secure in the com mand of foreign markets for her fine and tasteful articles. England is a consider able consumer of those which are the highest priced, and in the fashionable cir cles the French stuffs have an exclusive preference. The same is the case in the United States, Italy, Brazil, the West In dies and Germany, and to a still greater extent in Spain, Belgium and Switzerland, in which latter countries England cannot compete on equal terms with France from the facility with which the fine French fa brics can be smuggled in.

The increasing importance of our flourishing and beautiful city—the facilities enjoyed in the trans mission of the mails—and the absence of an Even ing Paper in Savannah—all conspire to render the proposed publication at least expedient, if not neces sary. Whilst the Paper will bear principally a commer cial character, we shall endeavor to make it useful and interesting to all classess of the community, by rendering it a disseminator of truth—an advocate of virtue—-and a censor of vice. In pursuing the plan determined upon, the following will comprise the leading departments of the Paper, which we hope will carry the cheerfulness of knowledge and the light of truth wherever it is received. Politics—We shall sustain the Great Republican doctrines embraced in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1795-'99, as maintained by Jefferson, Madison, Troup, Hayne, Calhoun, and other dis tinguished advocates of State Rights—and more re cently set forth by the Democratic Convention at Baltimore in may last—as forming what we con ceive to be the fundamental principles of our Gov ernment. Thus, having for our motto—‘‘Free Trade —Low- Duties—No Debt—Separation from Banks —Economy—Retrenchment—and a strict adher ence to the Constitution,” and placing ourself upon the broad basis of the latter, we can invoke alike the fidelity of the “Unionist” and the zeal of the “Nullifier,” in maintaining inviolate its compro mises; whereby alone our civil and religious liber ties can be secured to us, and the blessings of our glorious Union perpetuated. Our object being to assist in sustaining the great principles of Constitutional Liberty, and aid in drawing men’s minds from the worship of their fel lows, to an acquaintance with the nature of their Government, our columns shall be open to the dis cussion of all political questions of a general nature. In no case, however, will the dignity of the press he yielded, by permitting it to become the vehicle of scurility or vulgar personal abuse. Believing the nominees of the Baltimore Conven tion, James K. Polk and George M. Dallas, ful ly competent to discharge the duties of President and Vice President of the United Slates, we shall endeavor to promote their election, by all honora ble means. Commercial. —L T nder this head will be found the latest statements of the various markets for our staple productions, both Foreign and Domestic —■ together with a careful corrected Weekly Review of our ow n Market. Agriculture. —Whatever may be deemed of interest to those engaged in Agricultural pursuits, shall have due attention, and no pains will be spared to make our paper interesting to the Farmer, in comparison to which, all other trades and profes sions may be said to be but the frieze and cornice. General Intelligence. —ln this department will be found a general synopsis of the passing events of the day, together with occasional selec tions from the best Literary Periodicals, both For eign and Domestic. In fine, whatever, will have a tendency to develope the rich and varied natural resources of our State, elevate the moral character of its citizens, or promote the prosperity and happi ness of the community in which we live, shall meet with our ardent and humble support.

Savannah, Sept. 2, 1814 [sept 10 THE AMERICAN FARMER The pro prietor of the “ American Farmer” establish ment, expecting shortly to be engaged in the publi cation of a daily journal in the city of Baltimore, to which he desires to devote as much of his time as possible, would dispose of this establishment on li beral terms, if an immediate application be made. The character of the “ Farmer” is too well known to require comment —it is the oldest agricultural journal published in this country, being now in its twenty-sixth year. The central situation of Balti more renders it a peculiarly advantageous location for a publication of the kind, and in the hands of a person who had a taste for agricultural pursuits, and a necessary talent for conducting the business de partment thereof, it might be made to be extensive ly useful and profitable.
