Will Judge Pollock Keep his Promise?

On the 27th of June, 1846, pending the passage of the Tariff Act of that session, Judge Pollock, in the course of an erratic and unsound speech in the House of Representatives against that measure, made the following prediction and promise, to which we call the attention of the Judge and his political friends at this time:

"I believe Secretary Walker will find himself mistaken in his premises and his conclusions. Instead of the revenues being increased in the manner and to the extent named, they will be diminished in a greater proportion. I will not undertake to review all his calculations, but if Secretary Walker, or any of his friends, can prove that the proposed bill (the Tariff of 1846,) will increase the revenues—duty on tea and coffee included, five millions—I am ready to renounce all my theories and principles, and become a convert to the Free Trade doctrines. -See Appendix to Congressional Globe, First Session, XXIXth Congress, page 720."

Now as the Judge is a candidate for a public office, it is proper that we should remind him of this pledge, and exhibit for his information the results of the four years when the Tariff of 1842 was in operation, contrasted with six years under the Tariff of 1846.— Remember that Judge Pollock's pledge was, if Mr. Walker, or any of his friends, could prove that the Tariff Act of 1846 would yield more revenue than that of 1842, he would renounce all his former theories, and become a convert to the doctrines of Free Trade." Shall the figures decide the issue we have made with Judge Pollock? All reasonable men answer, yes. We give them from the official reports to Congress:
Which shall yield—Whig principles or Judge Pollock's pledges? Truly, the Whig candidate for Governor is an unfortunate man. In a recent letter to the people of Sullivan county, he uttered opinions upon the slavery question in the Territories which, if sound, exhibit the whole Whig party as hypocrites and demagogues on that subject, while on other important issues he Knows Nothing that he dare enunciate to the people whom he asks for their support. Such is Judge Pollock, the Whig candidate for Governor. Will he redeem his pledge made on the 27th of June, 1846? or will the Whig party "renounce all their theories and principles," and support a Free Trade candidate for Governor of one or the other of these positions must be assumed. Either Mr. Pollock must falsify his promise, or the Whig party must sink still lower than it is in the contempt of every thinking man in the community.

By these figures it will be seen that the largest amount of revenue collected under the Tariff of 1812, in any single year, was $30,025,016. Which was in 1813-14, while the amount collected under the Tariff of 1846, for the year 1852-53, amounted to $58,938,805.52, leaving a balance in favor of the Tariff of 1846, in this single year, of $28,906,849.63. This we think is quite sufficient proof to convince even the Hon. Judge Pollock that the Tariff of 1846 will and has produced more revenue than that of 1842, even deducting the five millions duty on tea and coffee from the amount of revenue produced by the tariff act.
