"Peace ME ASURES."?We arc to Imve. it appears, another game of conci.iation a"d harmony and compromise for this -ession, of which Mr. Clay, as a matter of course, is the author. He is always saving the country. On Monday last, in pre senting to the Senate a petition praying a modification of the tariff of 1840, "Mr. Clay said that he hoped that ( iitiw, n.-> iiit-n. whs cm apparent cailil- : ness upon I lie surface of the public affairs a calmness which was real, and would remain?that the subject of the tariff of 1S4G would he taken up and acted on in fi kind, a liberal, and friendly spirit: not taken up with any purpose of reviving those hicrh rates of nmUT.iinn wl?ir?f? formerly Were established from various causes, but to look deliberately at its operations, and", without disturbing any of its essential provisions, to ascertain whether the invention of frauds and abuses could not be reached by some suitable legislation." j On the former occasion Mr. Clay thought it an excellent compromise iui me rtouin 10 give up every sun- j stantial interest, and right, nrovided | the North would condescend to take it without expressly calling it the | "Wilmot Proviso." He now invites them to another compromise, in which, they shall consent to the renewal of protective tari(T, on condition that it ' - shall he callcd an act for the prevention of frauds and abides! We all know what it niears. The Protectionists w'.sh to tsmuggle the subject before Congress, -"and give their shape to it alterwards. Their whole press* - n laboring to that end for months. The President pressed the protective policy upon Congress in his Message. The re port of the Secretary of the Treasury is full of it. Mr. Clay is the organ and head of the party in the : Semite, and he is not ashamed to sneak up io this object in the manncr ! shown above. The prevention of frauds and abuses, forsooth- The only frauds 'no protective paity can txmis| i clod of a willingness to prevent, are such as tend to dimini h the revenue by the smuggling of goods, or their low valuation.

Let them look a! ?he returns of revenue since then, and they will find that Mr. Walker's calculations have not only been equaled, but exceeded in every year, and uie revenue is now lar more than lie anticipated. Could there be a more conclusive evidence that it is in no sensible degree injured by frauds? Doubtless there arc petty fraud? practised, as there always will be under every revenue measure; but the protective party will practice more fraud to get one tariff through Confjre.-s. than all the rogues of importers would eontrivc in a-quarter /\{ ?* /?nn( niMr A n/l I , v ......
