A letter was, however, : written to Governor Polk by the committee ' appointed for that purpuse, propounding the - following interrogatories: 1st. "Are you in -favor of the tariff act of 1842? ' 2d. Would you. if elected, support that act as it is. with out modification, or would vou be in favor " of modifying it?" Gov.

' i There lie before us autograph letters from some of-tho most learned -and distinguished or naments of the American Bench and Bar, in re lation to the'nianner in which Mr.Kinnc has exe cuted this important undertaking.- Justice Sto ry, Attorney uenerals Austin, et Massachu setts, and Johnson, of Pennsylvania, chief Jus tices Williams, of Vermont. Hornblower. tf New Jersey, Judges Peters and Bouvier, of Philadelphia, David Paul Brown Esq. of that city and many others, "have all borne-nheir weighty testimony to its-excellence and -to its Decuiiar adaptedness to the ends which were had in view by its author. Judge Story remarks of it that it is 'a'very valuable and:ueeful book to the profession," and that it is "drawn up with great accuracy and fulness " . He moreover aavs that to studenlsit will be particularly useful; presentmg the doctrines iu (he form of question and answer, it will have a tendency to. make them feel more aistincly the precise stress ef the points.and thus prepare them to understand and to give the true answers." , Mr. Peters is of opiniou that "it will extensively aid the student iu ui icaeaiciies, ana De 01 great value to the practitioner in his investigations."

Express Short Chapter on the Tariff. -The prettiest thing we have seen in relation to the Tariff, we quote below from the Savannah (Geo.) Republican. It is so simple and plain that wc think no one can read, without some surprise, that any one should doubt about a larin. . 1 he application we - think is-good, and the principle .will no doubt hold in rela tion to duties on all foreign ariicles, which miglu bo manufactured in our country. The manufacturer, the agriculturist, the mechan ic, and tje whole people are interesled that this subject should be well understood. The story is told in very simple words by the" Sa vannah Republican, as follows' "It is estimated that it requires5 over one million of foreigners to manufacture the foreign" articles annually consumed in the United States. Now it follows that we of this country subsist -or support directly or indirectly that number of subjects of the various monarchies of Europe., The money which they get for their labor goes mainly into the pockets for the foreign agricultural producers. 'The farmers inlhe U. States cannot compete with these foreign agriculturists because ef the cost of transportation, and the onerous nature of their corn laws. Now, if this one million of foreigners were transferred to this country, or (what would be still Getter,) if one million of our own people were withdrawn from, agricullure and employed in manufacturing, all this money would remain mour own country, auu a very. large proportion of it would find its way iuto the pockets of the farmers and ofothers who would feed this million , of. operatives. Of - course this would add just so much to our national wealth and the general prosperity of our people. Let us reduce this to figuies. Tbesc operatives would earch earn, at a very moderate estimate, cents per - day, or $100 per years. . 1 heir whole earnings would then be about equal' to V our ' present imports or 100,000,000 one half of which at least would go to the Agricultural producers of this country, instead of finding, its wav, as at present, into the pockts of foreigners ..ihis would greatly" increase the demand for agri cultural products, and if the' one million of men,;as before stated, were withdrawn Trom agricultural labor, iho amount of those products would""bc diminished, nd there would necessarily be a corresponding advance ju their' price... -This money then, kept in our country, would find its way into every deparlnieiit of industry, benefiting the landholder, the mechanic, as well as the laborer in every branch of business. '" Here, then is the whole policy of the Tariff as contended . for ny the whigs.' They go for the protection and encouragement of the domestic laborer instead of the foreigner for the support of our own people, and thsse who choose to come "among us in con tradistinction to the paupers of Europe. This is whig policy, and we submit it to true hearted Americans to say which party they will sustain.1' " -. ' f .. - ' Now,: reader, we wish it understood, that IIekuvt Clay is in favor of a system under which one million, or the number necessary, our own people may be employed in the manufacture of these necessary-articles and distributing among them the 100,000,000 annually, instead of sending that amount abroad.. The direct effect ol which would be, to have an increased mome market for the Agriculturist, and a consequent circula tion ot tne lUUjUUUjiJUU annually among our own 'people. ' ' ' -'-.'-" 'While on tlie other hand let it bo under stood, that James K. Polk is- injaver of a system by which this $100,000,000' would be annually sent to other countries ' for the purchase of foreign articles, thereby setting the balance of trade ngainst our own country, and depriving iis of the use and circulation of a Jarge portion of thi3 money, among our own people.

A HAPPY OMEN. During the speech

of Gen. Combs, at New Hiven on the 4th, a most pleasing incident occurred, which Js thus alluded to in the report of the N. Haven Courier: " If we fail jlo elect Mr. Clay now (continued Gen. C.) the experiment, of Free Govern ment is a failure. If a man like James K. Polk can be elected over a man jike Henry Clay, there is no use in talking, hereafter of rewarding public services.
