Now, are gentlemen pro- and litis it siibstuttlially dues, if wo are not mistaken in its operation, nnd Mr. Grat tan’s definition of u colony is the true one «It is the natural consequence question, the opinion is conscientiously nnd ! without the smallest necessity, but with almost universally'entertained throughout the whole South, that the protecting sys tem involves a gross violation of the so lemn compact which is tho bond of our Union. f come now, sir, to (he question of the policy which ought to bo ndoptod at litis important era in the history ol* our Guv- crnncni. Wu haveurrivud at a most in teresting crisis in onr national affttrs— one lo which the People have bean looking up with intense anxiety for tovitrul years past, They have contemplated the extinction of tbo public debt as the great day of jubi lee, win'll they were to be relieved hum tbo oppressions which they have so long patiently endured! The Pcoplu of the, .South, Sir, like the children pf Israel of old, iiuvo passed through tho wililtn ness, tho certain effect of changing the churac lor of your government and coriupiiitg (lie p"ojde. Why is this sorplus to be crcaiodi (las the gentleman given it single reason in its favor; or has he Hot himself sealed the condoiimalinn of his own proportion, when he admitted that no surplus ought to he crcaloij for distribution, for if it is not to be iu Sonto shape distributed, for what purposes it it to -be fiiiscd t Tile, nqxt objection to this scheme is, that it proposes lo relievo luxuries IrOm ail luxa tion, while the taxes on llieiflocusauiivx of lily are to remain just us they aro; subject to duties of /tom 00 lo 1Q0 .per cent. It il true that the gentile man, seeing, I; pre sume, the enormity of the proposition,in its original form, now consents that some very moderaio duty may bo levied on and iff.e miw i« sijjbi of Hie promised,land, wines and siilts.

No, wo will lto( ask tint nurihvin manufactures shall be taxed, beettpsu duties, to whaiover extent imposed, operate ns a tux upon our indus- ••y. We aro willing to agree that the re- vi.ieia necessary fortlio ordinary purposes -i the Government sltull he levied by du- tin. upon imports.

Wo think ail luvu a right to insist, t'.ut eii the es- *iitciion of the public dubt, the twelve mill- qf dollars her endure annually appio- t {r l H |p.d to limf object,should u« lungur.be invjt.-iV- iiitj, futtlier, that no mot •.money.' sh ill tiu raiaud limit may be necessary to tq,-ol tliu oidinary expenditures of the j'overrinteqJL Any vthor basis of roduc* linn than litis must bu founded on the idea o£m ciutteinpluied iucrease of the public expenditures. And why should duty lie incrcnxod? We have rullior a right to ex- p«ct tltut they should be dimitiisited.

But, sir, is it not morally ccitain tliu: your receipts must exceed your osti-' mates—'.he reduction of Jutiet will increase importations—ayd, fu what standard you will, is.’ life upon it, w c shall have • sur plus, arid uot a deficit, unbass gentlemen meant* provido for some new and grand «chcme of national expenditure. Besides, qgipiisi accidental deficiencies, „ sufficient provision will bj found in the uncalled tor nppenpriationa, al««vs to be fomul in the iu the Treasury. Having shown tin* ex tant to which the revenue ought lo Ire re- -dueed, I proceed tu cousidar the mode in whieh that reduction might to be effected. The first ecbenie suggested by rite gentle* man, is a cottliauanco of existing duties on fur from tliu numerous other articles which by thegeiillujitHu'*. scllumH, aro to come in duty free. Here.is a list of some of them, and it will be for the Senate ami the country to say liotv far it is reasonable ot just, that the consumers of these articles shall contribute nothing to tliu public ru to relieve tin; tariff Stales from all laxa lion, anil to (brow the whole burden of the government upon the other Stales.— Il is admitted, that the prelection enjoyed hy the former, even noiv-exceeds the a- inuhtit of tile taxes which limy pay, hut Will they do pay their equal portion ofdu- liei on the unprotected articles. But when these tire taken off, they will be re lieved from taxes altogether. Gentlemen who now hear mo, will remember, that when the tariff of 1828 was under- discus- siAn here, a Senator from a tariff Slate rose in his pine.*, and supported the bill on the single ground that il operatml as a bounty of a million nt dollars per nnuuni to llm State he represented. Let us as sume that calculation to Itavo been cor rect, and that the State in question now pays loilf a.milli >n in luxes on llm uap/u- t acted articles. When you take off tbo lax ami leave the bountv, the bounty will obvi ously he incrctisudhvjiisl baft* a million, and Mte State in question will bo, relieved entire ly from tnxation. Such is the compromise proposed to llm .South.,,The evils of which we complain are lo bo increased— the protecting system, is lo he rive'tod it- port the couefiy beyond all hope of relief; and, we are told, we ought to receive all this a* a concussion.. Sir, wo say to you, wo are willing lo submit to have tbo for- ign manufactures for which we exchange no Kings, Lords, nud Comutorts, to eat | of high duties—the evil wns/oretold, Hnd, out the si hsiance o! the People. In ibis j as we predicted, it bus come upon usc— pared lo say that such a system ak lifts with hH its imperfections on its hoad, is tp Uto held as sacred as the laws of the Medos nnd Persians? J trust not. i Let not gentlemen so far dcceivrt. them selves as to suppose, that the opppsitibU ; of ldte South to the protecting system is no', based on high,and lofty principle*, jit lias nothing to do with party polities, or ifte mrtre elevation of intti. ft rises far it- ’ hove all.such considerations.
