ue. We find the existing tariff law named in the New Yorker as one of the causes of the hard times of 1836-1837, the possibilities of silk culture in New York State set forth, and the objections of the Evening Post to a proposed State bounty of fifty cents a pound on silk produced in the State warmly combated. The compromise act provided for a reduction of all duties which exceeded 20 per cent under the act of 1832, on the following scale: 10 per cent of the excess to be removed on January 1, 1834; 10 per cent more on January 1, 1836; another 10 per cent on January 1, 1838, and a fourth on January 1, 1840; on January 1, 1842, one-half of the remaining excess was to be abolished, and the remainder of the excess on July 1, 1842, leaving, after that date, a uniform tax of 20 per cent. One of the arguments used by Clay to secure support for his compromise from his fellow protectionists was that it would be superseded before its ultra reductions took effect. But during the second adm

e outdone by him that I collected from various authors a book full of verses, all of which I committed to memory. Of course he beat me always, for he had a facile and iron memory which easily seized and steadily retained every thing he acquired. English poetry was also a constant subject of our talks; and he used to quote and read favorite passages which we earnestly discussed together. Among all the poets, at this time certainly, Gray was his favorite; W. W. Story gave Sumner, Jan. 1, 1834, a copy of Milton, inscribed with, From is grateful friend. and I have still a copy of his poems, presented to me by him, and full of annotations, many of which are due to these conversations. I shall never cease to feel grateful to him for these happy evenings, so full of interest and instruction. Then, as afterwards, his judgment in respect to poetry was not a keen one. The higher flights of the imagination, or the rapid ranges of fancy, were above him; and I think his noblest id

a to carry this policy into operation. The wisest statesmen of the nation have for more than twenty-five years felt the necessity of infusing into the circulation of the country a larger amount of specie, and to this end they have been shaping the legislation of Congress. They have abundant reason to be gratified with the success that has attended their efforts. In October, 1833, we had in specie, in active circulation, $4,000,000, and in the banks in specie, $25,000,000; on the 1st day of January, 1834, $12,000,000 in active circulation, and $27,000,000 in the banks; on the 1st day of January, 1835, $18,000,000 in active circulation, and in the banks $43,000,000; on the 1st day of January, 1836, $23,000,000 in active circulation, and in the banks $40,000,000; and on the 1st day of December, 1836, $28,000,000 in active circulation, and in the banks, $45,000,000. These are the results of the policy inaugurated by those statesmen, who were ridiculed and stigmatized at that day as "ha
