the interests of our State, as cotton grow 1 ing, agricultural country, will be best guarded l by sustaining the candidate of the manuac- turers, or by adhering to the free trade prin. cipes of the State Rights party. We scarcely need remind you, that if we take iIr. Clay, we must take him riH his principles, aud wiM his measures that are to carry out his principles. But his principles and his mea- sures are not his alone; they are equally the principles and measures of the tariff party !; and will be carried out by that party.

Mir. Filmore's bill, reported from the Committee on Ways and Means, was the tariff finally adopied By that act, we now pay fhe following taxes on the goods contained in the annexed table:
