Letter from Henry Clay to Thomas Spencer, Syracuse, N.Y.-- Ashland, Fayette Co., Ky., 6 August 1842
Description
Henry Clay, in response to Spencer's letter, relays his views regarding the need for a national tariff and President John Tyler's use of his veto powers. Clay claims that while the country is in need of a tariff, he does not want to see "the land measure" sacrificed. Clay also thanks Spencer for an annual report on the manufacture of salt in Syracuse and asks for some alum salt to be shipped to him in Maysville.
