The Tariff question will shortly coma upon tlio carpet, mi l it now becomes a point of hoido curios. i y and interest to inq lire into tho opinions f Mr. Tylor on tint tiiiijw.t. -In justification of his flatili vetoes, Mr. Tyler referred to hi long avowed ami Irequently ixpressed opinions) on that mcaMtrc.

We therefore now invoke tho reader's particular atten tion. to the following statetnenta of Ilia opinions of Mr. Tylef on the Tarill, as uttered recently and on former occasions. . .., . lo President Tyler's Message to 'tho present' Congress, ho uses the following expression s " In tmpottigMlutie, newevcr, lor tho purpoo ol re- ufcli tKe duty shall be laid, as well as the amount, . necessarily and properly exists otherwise tho Government would be plae-d in the condifioit ef having to levy the Mmmlutics upon ell rBrtioJes, twoduAio-HsJwell as the unnroductivc.

"O;hercor. stderations 'mist relate to mere considerafion of revenue, an J must mean ".other 'consideration's "' . than those of mcro revenue.

By consequence, a tariff slvaped Hot by 'tho ono mam constitutional lin? of revenue, hut thrown into a direction compounded of and intermcdnto ba. tween that line and the lino" of protection," must fall without tlio true line of the 'constitution, and that in proportion as Iho false principle or protection is obtruded into lha true principle of levqm ?. llcyei.uo and protection coofl.ei ; a regard, there- .fore, to protection, must sacrifice revenue.
