Haint. addressed the Semite in ’ support of liis proposition as follows: The iSenat.a Ii um Kentucky, fAlr. : Ci.'V.) commcnreil hit remarks n few days ago, hy complaining oftho ndvnn ces of age, and mourned li»e decay ol his ; eloquence, ;u rluipu nUij as to prov e that il | was still in full ■■ igor. He then went on. Sir, to make a most aide and ingenious argument, amply sustaining his high re "illation us nn accomplished orator. With this oxiiniple before mcq Mr. Piiusii'knt, (stdil .’dr. II.) I nm almost deterred from offering any apology, lest I should create expectulions which il will certainly not he in my power to gra »ily. And yet, perhaps, it nitty he per mitted to one so humble as tnysclflo stiy. that it belongs not to me al any time, or under any eir- nm-a'icees nnd, least of tdl, nt this moment, and o 1 tiiis occasion, ta satisfy the ex 4 octillions of those, if tiny such there he. who may have come here to witness the graces of oratory, or 1 to he delighted witli the charm-- of eio qnence. 1 wan'd not, Sir, on this occa sion, piny tlie orator if I could. I came here to day for higher nnd far nobler purposes. - I stand on this tloor tis one of (liereprescntalivesofn liigh-inimleil.gen erous, nnd confiding people, w hose dear est rights and interests I am now to vimli cute and maintain, in such a situation, 1 would lose ev cry thought of myself in the greatness oftho cause. Confiding in the indulgence of the Semite, mid deeply sensible of my inability to tie* justice to the impoTlunt subject embraced in these resolutions, 1 shall proceed til out <• in the plain, unadorned language of soberness nnd truth, to the examination of the ques tion before ns. The gentleman from Kentucky set out . with the declaration, that hedid not deem it necessary to oiler any arguments in fa vor of the American system, “that the lirnlrntime policy stands self rindieiited that I if has yin I ten it its rich fruits over the whole ■ land, and is sustained by llte experience of all powerful and prosperous natio'-s/' Sir, we meet these positions at once hy asserting, on our part, that the protect ing system stands ntf rnndiinnnl; con demned in our own country, hy Ihc dr,to- Uilimi which hits f'dlourdin its train, and the I dis- nnlnils it has produced—condemned hy the experience ol till th* 1 world, mni the almost unanimous opinion of enlighl l “tied men in modern limes. Anil now. 1 having fairly joined issue w ith the gen I (lemau. we might put ourselves upon (lie I country, alid submit the case, without ttr guinent. nor should i have any fears for the result, ifthe issue was to he tried and decided by an impartial tribunal, free j from the disturbing intlaeiiee of popular i prejudice mid delusion, mid the strong bins of iiiterists, pelsoiml, pecuniary, and political. But. situated us we nre. I feel and acknowledge the necessity of mak ing out car case to the conviction of this .’ us-embly, and the satisfaction of the ’ country. Wc arc seeking relief from , nn abiding evil—redress from tin existing II wrong. We cannot stand where v.e j nre. We cannot, like the gentleman , from Kentucky, rest on mere imsiipport- I ed assertions.’ Wc iu«i-l submit our . prools and maintain our positions if we j etui, it is greatly to he regretted, how ‘ ever, that the gentleman has not seen fit . jto present sonic of tilt* strongest arga li incuts in favor of his policy, as such a . j course might have directed our inquiries Ul few leading points, instead of making .lit necessary lot* as to wander at large I I through (he wide field of argument pro ! seated |*y the protecting systciu. The ’lgentleman, however, has so fin* layered , lus sis to specify two of the advantages I j which he asserts have been derived from .: it in this country, and in our day, lam i perfectly w illing to try llte merits of llte ‘ system "hy these tests which he has him 1 --elf proposed. They shal.’--if the gen -1 (lemur pleases—constitute the sliiiiilnril 1 hy which its true character slmll he de "i tennined. In the first place, then, the •. gentleman asserts, “ that the much nhns ej ed policy oll'-c'l, the (protecting tariff ol ej tfiut year.) has tilled our colters and emu c , ns to pay otfthe public debt." a debt ii ■ O f#10<l.««0,0f)0of principal, A: fulfill.litKt.- !i 000 of inlciest. Now. Sir, ifauy thing is d | capable of demonstration, il may lie <!e oj aionslruted, that the protecting system 1- could not. hy possibility, hiiveconlrlhnl cd jo the slightest degree to produce this j result. tine would suppose, indeed,that r 1 the very last merit which would lie as i scriheiTto this system, was its tendency ito fill the “ public cotfers." il is unques r | lionahly to a tariff, arranged and adjust j ed w ilh n single eye tn revenue, that we are to look for such a result. 'I he object -of a protecting turiH'as 1 itch, certainly is •1 diminish or exclude importations, and \ f course to lessen the amount ol the rc entte derived I'roin duties. The very end and aim of Each a system is to substi tute for the imported article, pni/infe tn-rr to government—the domestic article pay nig nunc —to transmute the duty into 1 bounty to the manufacturers, and just si ~ Jitr as this end is attained—that is to sny t , just so far as the tarifi'isp/‘ofrr//('c, must ii , eat oil the public revenue. Do we no all reiaeinlier, that (he leading nrgninen' I, in Invor of tin- protecting provisions o _ the tiirilfof 1831, was. that they were ne cessary •' to put dov n a ruinous foreigr 1( competitiop, and did not one of the lie I, liters of that hill publicly declare (hat tin vital principle of the system was, “ihttl . the nation should eominnnd its own eon sumption, and that w hen the nation did _ coiiinnmd its own consumption, impor tations and imposts would cease.'’ f-fir, , , there nre two distinct Icatnres in the t;t rill ot l s 3!—revenue and protection. Il I is the former that hus filled your rollers and paid oil'the public debt; a; d. so fat C ns the hitler Ims operated nt nil, it must , have diniilfislied the revenue, mid delay _ <’d the exlitielhin ol lhat debt. b'if. 1 j will pat it to th(‘ candor oftho gentle man, whether, ifthe protecting duties I miller I!n- (tu-id of I*3l hud been less, the (i revenue would not have been greater, ( and I hat. too. w ithout adding to, hut on , the contrary, diminishing the burthens ol the people, since they would have obtain ed (he articles oftheir consumption, in ( increased (|iiitnlilies, nnd nt 11 cheaper I rale, and been relieved from the heavy lux which they have been compelled to ( pay to the American inannfaelnres?— W hy, sir. the policy of I*'3l actually tax ed to prohibition a large amount ofgoods lornierly imported. From a report made hy the Secretary nl'tlie Treasury, in Jan I*3o, il appears lltnl. (li.-se prohibited nr l tides tunoiinl to tihonl $8,lilH),(!()0per an num. being near one-sixth part of (lie whale of oar imports. Has this part of the policy eonti'ihnled to fill youiM-oHers? Bir, the enso is too plain for fnrlher ar gument. and tried hy this test, the poli ' ey must heattei-ly condemned. I The next test hy which the gentleniiin proposes to try this system, is “the rich 1 fruits which it Ims scattered over the country.” t-ur, where tire they to In (bund' Is it in the wist! 1 appeal to ’ the gentlemen liom that qutnler. We have heard 11 great deal of tlie flourishing condition oflhe nmmil'aetiiringestuhli- h j. meals elsewhere; hut where mv the mnniif'ai'tui'iiig villages, the joint stock companies, (he splendid dividends, nnd other evidences of prosperity to he found in the west! I submit it to the candor oftho gentlemen, whether the benefits of the protecting system, so far ns the west is concerned, da not still rest in hujtr— whether the system would he sustained a day. if it wen* not for its supposed coil nexlion with intiuinu. imi'iiovumunts — whether it is not indebted for its populari ty, in that, qtiiii'ler, to tlie unhappy, the fatal marriage between the lurid mid in lernal improvements—a union which ! yet hope to see dissolved. It was a left 1 hundid —an unlawful marriage, and sure I v those w hom < »'<><l hath not joined, n.nn ! may put asunder, tfir, there are doiiht ' 1 less some tlonrisliing iiimiultieloriesseal ‘ I lered here tint! there throughout the wes tern country —chiefly confined, however j to situations beyond tlie reach iJTcreign 1 compelition, and owing nothing \u the ; protecting system. But the west Imsnot ‘ | been rendered prosperous hy these es -1 lahlishnientH. I appeal eonlideiilly to (heir actual condition nl this lime.— With regard to the gentleman s ow 11 .'Mute, I will apply a lest w hicli cannot deceive ns. When (he policy of’3l was before ' Uungrcss, the Senator from Kentucky stood forth us its champion, nud il was my lot to attempt to answer his argil ‘ meats. Il is It no, ; ir. that his speech was made in the other Manse, and ititae 1 on this Hour; hul Ids nrgnmrnt hud been sent forth ns the iiiiiuilV slo ol the )iurly 1 —it yvtis printed in pamphlet and laid on the tables of the Senator, and, embody* ing I Ini views of the tartll paity, it was ' | impossible for me to pass il o'er. 1 well i r<'meiiihei‘, tlicrefoi t*, that, on Ilitilocen -1 sion, the gentleman arftiicd, tiiut Ken ‘ lucky was to participate in the proloct ' | ing system hy raising large qinmtilics ol -i hemp, and supplying the southern states * j with cotton bagging. —mid he strongly 1 insisted Unit she was then only prevent ' ed from so doing, hy the ruinous ciiiupr ‘ I ition of tlie inconsiderable Scotch lot'its ’ of Inrcrnrss and Itnnitee. And wind is It. * Sir. that wc hoar no"-—al(er the lapse ol - eight years’ ’1 he old story repealed. j Kentucky still deprived ol the benefits of 1 : the protecting system hy those formidu i hie rivals, in' eritess and Dundee, 'i'hey ‘j still constitute ‘ the lion in the path," and * j foreign maim lad in es <*' er w ill he ’*n lion jin the path" to those whose prosperity 1 1 depends on the protecting system. We ; know that iheinamifactnreolVotton hrnr -1 1 gingis a simple process, requiring liard ’ ly any skill <tr eapilnl, nnd yet. the great f I Slate of Kentucky eannotgi-l.along w itti ‘ | it, in consequence of the formidable rivtil ■ | ship ol two miserable {Scotch towns, Ihc * j inhabitants of w hich nr* said to he so I , pooriintl destitute, that they tire obliged ' ’import their fuel, and send to Diintzic. I I twelve htinilred miles up (lie Baltic, fio 1 1 (heir hemp, paying a freight equal to the 1 first cost. It in perfectly clear, therefore, ■ that Kentucky has not realized the pro- I mined blessings oflhe protecting system: 7j mid. | urn toll! that this is suhslimliidly tt tie of the w hole west.. Bat. >Mr, it the ‘ went has gained nothing by tlie system. - i she has had her share oflhe taxes " hich fj ii imposes— she has paid her proportion * of duties to the government.ainl honidii s t; to the iiiuiiiilaetniers; ami, in conne ■: qnence of the «lire (iihiinitien w hich the s system has inllicted on l!m south —blast- ‘ ing our commerce nnd withering our 1 j prosperity— the west has very nearly been deprived of her Inst customer. — s j When the policy of'3l went into opera I ;|ion. the south wuh supplied from the ■ i west, through a single avenue, (the IMihi y I da .Mountain Gap,) with livestock, hor - j ses entile, mid hogs, to the amount of * considerably upwards of a million ol L ‘ dollars a year. Under the prepare ol the t system, this trade has regularly been di s minishing. It has already fallen oil 1 more than one half, nnd from an anthen ■ tic return, now before me, it appears that y it has been further diminished near one * hundred und filly thousand dollars during es the last year. So much for the rich y- blessings bestowed upon the west hy the u protecting system. 0 We come now to (lie South, If nny y. ; portion of the rich fruits of this system il . have been scattered there, they have not >t fidlen under my observation. {Sir, wo it!know them not—we see them not—wo >f 1 feel them not. Il may he supposed, l - however, that wo are 100 fall oi'preju n | dice, or too ungrateful, to acknowiedge 1- j the blessings it litis bestowed upon ns.— e 1 Sir, we have heard of men having 11011- tl jor thrust upon them, and perhaps there 1- may he such a thing us having benefits d thrust upon an unwilling people; yet I ■- should think, that even in such a case, •, they would soon become reconciled to - their lo). nnd submit to their fate with a 1 | good grace. Lul.l assure (lie gentlemen sj t hat the condition oflhe soulli is not r j merely one of unexampled depression. I dull of great and all-pervading distress.— In my own Stale, the unhappy change I which has w ithin tt few years past taken ■- place in the public prosperity, is oflhe s most appalling chtu aeler. If we look al e the present condition of our cities, (nnd I will take Charleston hy way of exam rt pie.) we find every where the mournful if evidence of premature decay. Sir, the - crumbling memorials of our I'm nice - wealth and happiness, too eloquently r leach ns, that without some change in yonrpolicy. the clays of oar prosperity ) “are ntmihered.'' Sir, il is "illiia my - own experience, that, in the devoted city - in which my lot has been cast, a Ihri' ing • foreign commerce, was. within 11 li-" • years past, carried on ilirret In Huropr. — We had unlive merchants, with I age , - capitals, engaged in (he foreign trade.— . We line I thirty or forty ships, many of , - them built, nnd nil ow ned in Charleston, I' anil giving employment lo a numerous ' and valuable body of mechanics nnd | - tradesmen. Look at the stale of things ’ now! Our merehmits bankrupt or driv J runway—(heireapilnl slink or transfer- I 1 red to other pursuits—our ship yurt! 1 1 broken up—our ships all sold!—yes, Sir ■ lam told the very Inst, of them was a lew j months ago brought lo the hammer—oat 1 mechanics in despair; (he very grins ■ growing in curslrec Is, mid houses falling 1 : into mins; real estate reduced lo one third part of its value, mid rents almost ' > lo nothing. The commerce, which we ’ l arc still sull'eretl lo enjoy, diverted from 1 j I its proper channels, carried on with hor 1 rowed capital, nnd through agents sent | r among us, nnd inainltf’ned hy the larifi 1 f policy, hearing olf their profits to more t favored lands, eating out our suh-tai c c*. - and leaving to our o" 11 people the mise 1 ruble crumbs which fall from the table -of their prosperity.

When (axes are imposed, not hy the representatives of those who nro to hear the burthens, hut of those who are to receive the homily. Mow, sir, Jet ns turn our attention to the north. And here 1 cannot speak from my own knowledge, hut tun free to confess, that if we arc to credit the ac counts we have heard, the rich fruits of the system have hern scattered in this quarter with a profuse lentil. We aro (old that mamiiacl tiring oslr.ldishments have sprung up every w here as if by en chantment. Thriving towns and hen ti bia! villages cover the whole face of the land. Millions of capital have been with drawn from other pursuits and invested in inniiuf 'clurcs. Joint stock compan ies are receiving enormous dividends i and the people, (at least in the neighbor hood o. the establishments built up mid sustained hy the system.) are rejoicing in prosperity unexampled in the history of the world. Kill, sir, in the midst of his universal joy, we hoar occasionally tho voice of hifiientnlion mid complaint.— There arc those north of the Potomac, wise, and experienced and patriotic men, well acquainted too with the actual con dition of things, who tell us that this ap parent prosperity is In a great measure delusive, that the system has operated in building up a favored class at the ex pense ofthe rest of the community. That it has, in fact, made ihe “ rich richer, nml the poor poorer/’ 1 have before me sev eral statements, all going to prove these assertions, as to several of the most nourishinginamifacliirir.gcstublisl-im nt* of the north. 1 will trouble the Senate with hut one of them, and that merely by way of illustration. '1 he. article is from tin 4 pea of one of the ablest political eco nomists in the Union, one who has laid Ids country under a lusting debt of grati tude. [Mr. lla vnit hero rend nstatement fr<>m the thinner of the Constitution, proving that a nourishing cotton manuliicloiy at the Falls village, in New Hampshire, was,/row Ihcir own fhuirittp, maintained hy a tux on Ihe community, exceeding the entire profits of the establishment, hy SIOI,OOO per annum ; and that if a parse was made up. and every operative man, woman, and child, pahl $101) per ".iiuin, f»r ; landing idle or turning grino on, the puiilic would he gainers by slOl, 01) nnnually. | > It will he seen, therefore, that, With re gard to some, at least, o( oar most flour* isliiag manufacturing establishment, tho imlils derived are drawn from the poeli fts of the people. Hut, it wi.l lie said, here is a disc in which the south parti cipates in the bounty; here is u home market found for three thousand hales of Karolina cotton. ’ Wr, I seize the op portunity to dispel forever the delusion, that lie 4 south can derive any coup ensa l ion in a homo market lor the injurious operation of the protecting system, ino ease heli»re as ntlbrds a striking illustra tion of this truth, The value of thera w material is about one foimli pert ol tho imiiniliictured article. Mow it the «"<• n goods manufactured til the ! were imported from England instead ot being made in Mew Hunt! shire, wo should timl a market for twelve iliousamT hales of our cotton instead of three; so that instead of gaining a market for three thousand hales of cotton, we have lost a nunket of Ditto thousand. The homo market for our cotton is not a new.orad iliiioniil, hut a substituted nmr.id. It the trade were free, the goods auumhic lured in this country would he imported from England, and paid lor m ur < ot toii; hut in calling off the imports .v>»a,ol course, to the sauie extent, din-ma-a uur exports. Mow suppose, to mu»ie Hus matter too plain for cavil or dis: ate, taut we exported to (heat Krituia or..- Hun dred thousand hides ol eotum, war'll, (at thirty dollars a hale) three mule as ct dollars. that we received in exchange three millions of dollars worth ol Kr.Ush cotton poods. How much ol our co'.Um would it lake to iniunihieture these goods? Why,just twenty-live thousand hales, while the remaining seven’y hvo thoiisnnd would he disposed ot < ■■ 'ho continent. Hut suppose the importation ofllieso goods pruhiMtedf in oi' t r tlml they should he made lit home, what por tion of this cotton would hud a nemo market? Only twenty live thousand hales, and the remaining Hcveaty-hve thousand la- lell upon our bonds. I "8, it will he seen, that the ellect ol sabrti tiiting a homo market in the p em a foreign market for oiir cotton, w ould |>« to deprive us entirely of a m.u-et mr thrcc-fourtlis of our production-) ‘ result is inevitable, unless the mums io inunnfjicluremin r int(* <** I*' "'\ k with the British inforngn miirkvi. . ~i. idea altogether too extravagant to h. ■ ' • > of serious notice: for suiely, i ai.> ■> cun he considered cerium, wc may sab ly assume that in'icles which cannot he manufactured at homo W.ll.outa ,»«• ect ing duty of from H«y «> one humh. .1 pi cent., cannot enter into competition wait foreign iniuiubmlures in the markets ot the world, w here they Will, ot course, have no protection w hatever.
