OUR COnTRY PROTECTION TO ITS INDUSTRY. FOR 'PRESID K Nr T , HENRY CLAY, OF KENTUCKY. BY LAST NIGHT'S MAIL. HENRY CLAY AGAINST ANNEXATION. The Baltimore Patriot of April 27th, contains an important letter from this distinguish! statesman on tho Texas question. We have only room this week for tho closing paragraph: "I consider tho annexation of Texas, at this time, without tho assent of Mexico, as a measure compromising tho national character, involving us certainly in a war with .Mexico, probably with other foreign Towers, dangerous to the integrity of tho Union, inexpedient in the present financial condition of tho country, ami not called for by any general expression of public opinion." We will publish Mr. Clay's letter next wrek. VIRGINIA ELECTION As far ns hoard from, tho Whiff have cained eight members in tho lloUSOof llelcgatOH.

The manner in which the Palladium was "driven to the wall" Garbling Forgery, A.C. The following wiii be found in the Jeffersunian of the

24 tli April: Two or three werl,s ng-i we published as editorial in the JerTersonian, an extract from Mi.L'lay'j New Ur!aiu' letter. The editor of the Palladium, supposim; it was our own, mailt n att;n-k u;iun it, and in doing so, exposed himself t Vie laughter of bulfi parlies.'''' We will n'lmit liiat a did suppose thai the exlrnct was from the fljicing pen of lieu. Pattison, ni'.l we were not far from being wrong in our supposition, as we prove'! to a demonstration iast week. Mr. Patiison admit that lie "published as editorial" tiie "extract FIIO.M Mr. Clay's New Orleans' letter." In his paper of April 17, after republishing that extract, its most positively asaerts that "MR CT.AY SAID SO, an I ice (Pattoon) think so," that is, Mr. day did use, the lannge contained in the extract, and Mr . Pattison believes in the doctrine therein advanced. Pattison adopts the language contained in the extract, and it is hit production 'by the spirit of adoption,' and whether it be legitimate or illegitimate, it is all one an 1 the same, and he is to all intents and purposes the daddy of it. On Inst Friday niht, Mr. Pattison made a speech in the Warner building before the "Association' of his party, in which he took occasion and did actually make a "irhaung' out of that compound ''mattock" "trtracl from Mr. Clay's) New Orleans letter." He stated, in substance, thai a mutual friend brought to him for his perua1, the letter alluded to, and what do you think, says he, that the letter was published in? Why the RushrilU Whig and that paper ' tnkes it (rom the Lafayette Journal ; both Uliig papers ! and it, for all he Knew, got Mr. Clay's letter from some back - troods paper published the other side of the Iiocky Mountain1-! Me endeavored to convince his hearers that, .because Whig pipers had published "aid letter, it was a good ami sufficient reason for him and them to doubt the authenticity of it! But he rel ied on more substantial auj thority than this he received his information frt tn respeej table Democratic pajirrs the Cincinnati Enquirer atid the I Stark Co. Democrat. (!) lie had never seen the letter published entire in either of these two Democratic pipers uMW. KX riiACT! Is it by such .JO . ar!ntnunt ,,ia. Mr. Pattison expects to cl-ar o . hiipsell from the crime of garbling and base forgery? i Who ever heard of a locofuco paper publishing to the world any of Mr Clays letters tntirt just as he wrote them? Where is ihe Whig or honest Democrat who would ' even think of looking in the "Cincinnati Enriuirer"--the ' "Stark Co. Democrat" the "JclTersonian," oi any other Locofoco paper in the United States, for a whole letter from Mr. Clay, or any thing like a truthful exposition of ! Mr. Clay's political views? They all deal in unmeasured vituprrRtioil and slang in foul abuse, whenever they take 1 occasion to speak of this distinguished statesman and natriI ot; and to (J AltBLE and FOIUJE extracts from his letto rv lias become an innatf principle ivi.h them. j The last Jefforsmiirtn says, ii alluding to this letter of i Mr. Clay, that I "It differs from the one we published hut the part Mr. Hollowaj attacked is the tame in both veisions, . that li.ke tho letter which they say Mr. Clay did write, and it contains the identical sentiment which Mr. Ilolloway at , tacked." I Now, we merely invito the nllention of the reader to Mr. Holloway's comments on the forged and garbled ex tract in controversy, and he can see what the "identical sentiment" is which was attacked: "THE THEE INTEREST OF THE CON" SUMERS IS REST PROMOTED by A comlKUllloii iiciweeii tin; lurui" n uiio n.iin oun . n v . l" '" o " - i .i e : I .....: i I..

Mr. Patt.sou says, "w f. ! THINK so," and "MIL CLAY SAID SO." Mr. Holloway says, "the interest of the consumer of the inaiiiifac - tured goods is best promoted by a ready maikel for the pro- ; ducts of his farm and labor," and lhat tho "extract" which i Mr. Pattison editorialises and assorts ns being the language of Mr. Clay "is garbled and misrepresents Mr. Clay's vies " The following is Mr. Clay's letter, which wo believe to l be the real, genuine one, written by him to the Clay Club j of Charlotte county, Virginia, in reply to one from the Club inviting him lo visit their comity: NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2J, H4I 'Gentlemen: I have received your letter addressed to me in bohalfof the Clay Club of Charlotte connty, in Virginia, lnviting me to deviate from the route by North Carolina j n far as to visit Charlotte. I should be truly happy to accept it, it I could, and meet my fellow-citizens of Char- ' rassod to decide where to commence and where lo terniiI na-e them. I could not visit every place ; nnd it would be I invidious lo discriminate between various points, having ; equal claims to my attention, respect and gratitude. The ! rule, which I have adopted, limiting myself to tiie routes by i which 1 shall proceed ou my journey, is simple, and I hope may ho satisiactory.

The inevitable tendency of THAT COMPETITION is to REDUCE PRICES, as all experience has demonstrated. A duty never augments the price, to the full extent of its amount, but in the case of an inadequate, supply of the article, on which it is imposed, to tho demand for that article. "But the reduction of prices is not the only, nor the greatest, advantages of the establisnment of manufactures in our country. They create an ability to purchase those cheaper articles, by the home market, which arises for the product of a5ricu!tare and of labor. "AH these truths are suseeptible, I thinX,nf the plearet illustration: but this is not a suitable oceiion fur mure than briefly adverting to them.

LETTER FROM TIIE SENIOR EDITOR. Ox Board the MueaTir, April 25. 1 S 4 t . Or, as tho facetious Jack Downing would say, "On board the river" the day and year above written. " Pencilling by the way," unless from tiie pen of an acute observer are but, at best, miserable things, t rom us it aiut be the epistolary efforts of a f.ienj; but knuwing our reader to feel a deep interest in ti.e cause which induced us ti leave our humble houe, wo have thought a sketch of oar journey, and ad our old friend Abner Haines, would say, "our reflections thereon," would not be uninteresting, we have conclu(fed to give you it brief letter. There is another reason, perhaps, an I a more important one which has iieh.en; e.i j us, mid that is to inform our loco friends of the dreadful j accidents which have, no doubt in their min P.opuitntiul- j 1y befailen the V bij; party since our leaving home. In the j outlet, just as the mud wn ;on m Inch a lumber of dele- j gates were travelling to Cincinnati, had got fairly under j Whifriii.U were en;aed in high thou!r,hts and happy anticipations of the bright ami glorious scenes that awaited their arrival at the monumental city, one of the lead horses attached to the "tage, most fatally, fir the interests of the Whig parly, ot one of his ftet out of his trncfr thus frightened, he suddenly started off in a run, and in a few minutes our Whig delegates were goiu down Clawson's hill with as much rapidity as lucolocoisoi has brought down our country to its present ruined condi lion. We doubt not had there been a loco present he would have interpreted this omen to mean, 1 the horse "ettin? out of his traces, some important mem ber of the Whi? parly, flyinp; oft in a tangent fmm the nomination about to be made on the first of May, and the horse running, would to their minds mean that tho Whig party are again to carry on their canvass by great excitement and harnii-ienr nn hurrah. But, a g'K) I Wilis ta kins hold "f therein'., the hores stopped all was well no injury done, and so will end lhn contest. Another ouieu of teierc't ti our frion-l Faltin, occurred. An omen ( direful import, nnd we leave it to the Daniel-like sagacity of lh? editor of ihe Jeftnr-iliiian to interpret it, as his wisdom may suggest. We are not superstitious, but we cannot reflect upon this occurrence without the saddest f'-eliiiL's of forbodin We can account for the falling of tho arm of the statuary nt Washington for the lighlnin of the rlou Is striking within :i mile of (Jen.

Uut we have another omrn wc must mention, yenerday whilst we had a woo I boat in tow, she sprang a leak, and her crew had to leave her as tho lo:o rats will tltscrl the ship of State on the 4th of March next. That boat w as owned by a good Whig, did this latal accident arise from ihe rlispleas ire of Providence towa.ds him for furnishing the wood, wheirby a steam engine was propelled, the wheels of a boat turned round and a load of rascally whigs spetl on their way to n convention for the p irpose of iiami natinc Mr. Clay? Tell us that too, friend ieore. Last evening we had a sermon in the cabin from a Mr. Wiues. The folding doors wert thrown open, which made an extensive saloon. This morning we had a political metting. Mr. Wickiiflfe, editor nl one of the Lexington papers, was called to the Chair, and a Mr. Foster of Cincinnati appointed Secretary. Several speeches were matin by gentlemen from the different States represented on Board. Great enthusiasm pervades all classes the deck antl the cabin alike yield their admiration to HENRY CLAY. No doubts exist as to his nomination no other name is mouthed no other name is thought of. He will be nominated by acclamation this done a responsa will go up in thunder tonra throtiehont tf.A land- nod its echoes will be " . . reverberated from tho hills of iew l.nglaiifl to the savannas of tho South from tiie lakes and prairies of the North and , W est to the shores of the Sabine.

The Clay Club of New Orleans was the prime mover in causing foreianrrs lo be unlawfully naturalized before a ichig Judge. Judee Elliott was elected by a whi Legislature and was a tehig when he was guilty of ihe fraud." Does the Jefle rsonian t.ic as well as "root from principle" ? Or can it tell the truth? In the ahave extract, Mr Pattison unhesitatingly pronounces Elliott a ft hig.

To save and economize our time, we have most generally pursued this plan, and, whether our editorials are good, bad, or in.liti'ereni, we are willing lo father tneui and 'take the responsibility.' We acknowledge that we do not pos-c-s that peculiar ''shade of refinement" which friend Pattison liats of ; but we have the vanity to believe thai we can, by the ai l ol the documents, convince nnv reasonable man, thai Air, Pattison. states a positive (wo were going to say i.o., but that would be too "vulvar," therefore, e will use his pi'. chaste language,) we say, then, that the editor of me Jefl'ei-soniao, when be savs that the statement of the Palladium in relation to Mr Van l!uren"s "universal BufTVngn" notions "IS FOK'.J t". 1," "knew at the time that be mi 1e the Matemcnt, that it was not" forged.

From this tnWo it will be seen that cotton rr.xi Is above specified, continued e-teadilv to declino in priec alter tlio passnirc of the present tar trt" law until some timo in 1S13. Since that tiino thev havo idvtmced slightly, itlthough they aro sti'l low er than they were pre ions to tho prss;igo of the tarill". Tho late advance in price has b;ien occasioned by tho risti in the price of raw cotton. The article of leather, an article of great iuiMrtanee and large, consumption with tho people of Indiana, has been gradually falling and is now from twenty to twenty five percent, lower than it was before the tariff of lSp. This certainly does not look like taxing tho jiooplo ou these articles. The following is a statement of the prices at Philadelphia of articles extensively used in tho west. Am? 111 Am; IS J. Ja 111.

This table might bo greatly extended, all showing the same result, that iron ware of eterv description, has been purchased by tho consumer cheaper since the present t-i rill went into operation than they were purchased before.

Cotton Woolen and Iron fabrics, which are consumed by .-ill classes of tho community, instead of Incoming don rer un ler the operation of the increased duties, have become cho?ior. !t is true that n slight advancf) in price on some of thes;5 articles lias occurr.d wit. .in the last six months: and tho opponents of the tarill" sieze upon this fact w ith gro.it a idity as nn argument to prove tho position they assume, that tho duties are a lax upon tho consumer. They wholly overlook the important fact that notwithstanding this iiieroaso of price, all those articles are now lower than they were when the duties were at the lowest jKiiut, under tho compromise net. The jieopln iu-te.al of beinj4 conif.elleil to pay higher prices for their goods in -ojisi,ucueo ol' tho tariff, actually buy them much cheaper. ""'Pis strange, "lis passing strange." that with tho evidence of their own senses daily contradicting their assertion, men can be so infatuated as slid to ride tho hobby of taxes and high prices, and end. a tr to conv ince the people that they aro oppressed by the operation of the tarilT. The increase of prices which hns honrt Intel v witnessed is ti 'o result of tho increased jirico rf labor and the raw material used by the manuficturers. Tho laboring portion of tho community are as much entitled to the f .storing care of the government, as any other class. no important result which was predicted by its friends as tho consequence of the tarilT was an increase of the price of labor, and the anticipation of that result lurmsiioii a strong argument in favor of its adoption. Tiino has roaii.cf.jd tiie nnticioation of its ariticijwitin of its friends. An increased stimulus has been ..ivi.i. is has iKKin i to every department of industry a more entire demand has b ion created for the raw material, thus giving an additional profit to tuo agricultural producer lalior has been more amply compensated than heretofore, and '-last, tlnugh not least" in imjiortance to tho people of Indiana, tho broad studs and provisions of our fertile state, have found a more ready sale at increased prices, under the beniliccnt ojeratioii of this gTcat national measure. Arid yet notwithstanding all these important a.lvantagos, the constant clamor about increased taxes and high prices of tlc grxuls we buy is sliown by e.vjrience to be but idlo declamation. Yours iVc.
