JoHs X KAxR. ESQ., Philadelphia.


Here is the latest varnish Of MIR. Folks opln-
ions: will it answer What does it amount to
How does it qualify what he has all along been
saying He declaredin Congress that l25 per ct.
duty IN Cotton Goods and 25 on Woelen was
ample Protection, and that, in his judgment,
Wool should be admitted duty free. Does this
letter take back word Of all this He declared
last summer that Protective Tariff and DistTi-
button constituted "the difference" between HIM
self and the Wings Does ne now rcpudiate
that sentiment He argued, over and over last
summer, and printed in his Speech at Jackson.
that the present Tariff ought to be abolished, and
uniform twenty per cent. duty imposed in stead
the same on Shoes and on Leather on
Hides-the same On Ready Made Clothing as on
Cloth or raw Silk-the same on Hats as on Furs,
dressed and Enthusiastically per cent. on Iron
and on all kinds of Hardware, Tools, &c. &c.
How is this, Mechanics and Artisans DOES
this satisfy you If so, go ahead, and vote for
Polk and Dallas Ii this is what you want, they
are your men. But if you are OF a different opin-
lon-if you think that those Foreign fabrics
which come in competition with the products OF
your toll ought to be taxed higher than the ra"
materials which you work up and which our Coun-
try does not produce-if you think Boots and





Shoes should be charged higher duties than kaw
Hides-if you think Fur on the skin should he
admitted cheaper than Fur Hats-how can you
vote for Polk and Dallas Will you be fooled by
empty words Protection TO your Labor agains,
the depressing competition OF unpaid Foreign La
bor is either right or wrong. If wrong, vote foT
Polk and Dallas If right, vote for yourselves by
sustaining Clay and Frclinghuysen.


The Newark Morning Post, edited by as bitter
an opponent of Protection Calhoun or Nc
Duilic, cacklcs loudly over this letter of Polk,
publishing it two days in succession The first
dav it shouts, " Here is something to confront the
ISLANDERS and fasehoods Of the Wing Press. >
What ISLANDERS and falsehoods,' sir Is 1t &
That W oUi s'iV".- --...od u &C bic on,nion
slandcr that he last summer repeatedly decarru
himself determined, consistent enemy of Pro-
lection; and in favor of reducing the Tariff 70
twenty per cent. at the highest Is IT slandcr
that he is opposed to the Land Distribution be-
cause it would require higher Tariff! Will
you specify


The Post strings together lot of extracts from
Mr. Clay's Speeches and Letters in favor of mod
Grafton and avowing his fidelity to the spirit and
principles of the Compromise Act, and endeav-
ors to give the impression that Mr.. Polk is as
much in la ,or of Protection as Mr., Clay! Yet
the Post KNOWS better than this-knows it is not
true-and ihat its representations calculated
and intendef to deceive its readers. 1t knows
that Mr.. Clay coosluers the present Tariff, mod.
crate, concaory, and in accordance with the
spirit of the Compromise, while Mr.. Polk holds
exactly opposite views. Compare the following
extract from Mr.. Clay's Letter to Georgia (from
which the Post quotes 10 give contrary impress
sion, with that of Mr.. Polk placed against ii, viz :


Mr. CLAY. Mn. Polk

Here is the difference in nutshell. Fifty men
may say, Mr.. Clay is as much Free Trade
man as Mr.. Van Bnren." and all may agree that
duties ought TO be laid for Revenue, should be
moderate, concilatory, and all that The vital
question al last relurns-' What do they respec.
lively propose to do2' Mr.. Clay says, Sustain
the present Tariff Mr.. Polk says, No, break ii
down, and go back to a twenty per cent Tariff as
in lS42. Here is the kernel of the matter The
Post agrees heartily with Mr.. Polk we concur at
least as heartily with Mr.. Clay. Which view do
the mechanics Of Newark prefer


Railroad Iron.


We learn that the Fall River and Taunton
Railroad Company have contracted with the
Mount Savage iron Company Cumberland, Md.
