We do not claim to r I represent the Committee, nor do we ’ 'suppose it to be within our power to add j 10, or improve, the clear and masterly argument on the general subject, of the table and distinguished statesman who , drailed the memorial. Hut ns imliv ide al members of the committee for the. I avoidingofinisconeeptioii, and oa behalf . of (he particular sections of (he country in which we reside, and which we have in some short represented, we ask per mission to explain our own views on a few particular topics. We most fully approve of the several propositions which form the basis of the memorial, and, with one or (wo slight, exceptions, are rather supplementary than contra dietary to those contained in that docn meat. The memorial assumes that the snn necessary to he raised lor the ordinary expenses of government, will, idler (lie public debt shall have been paid oil', and the protecting duties ultimately reduced, amount to about thirteen millions of ilol hirs; that it maybe necessary lo rids, this amount hy customs, and the view anil calculations of the memorial, nr. founded on the supposition that, dutiiv averaging twenty percent, mid admit ting discriminations lo the amount u> twenty-live percent, may he necessary for this purpose. The estimate ol thirteen millions fir I the ordinary expenses of government, i- 1 founded on ti calculation of the nverag. expenditure for several years past. On < this subject, permit, ns to suggest niori distinctly, (lint these have hern years ol i very high expenditure. More than Hire 1 millions of this amount have been nppli I ed to fortifications, the gradual increase i of the navy, revolutionary pensions, and ■ internal improvements. In the inilureol i tilings, most of the sources of expense must gradually diminish ; and, with re j sped to (he policy of others, public opin- . ion is divided. Ills contemplated that i the reduction of protecting duties, and . consequently of lev rime, shull be gruiln al. Il is fair to calculate that they ivii . he very ■iiiieh diminished before the nlti I male r((lii(lion of duties. The other cur- | rent expenses of the government seem to ' he provided for on u snlliciently liberal I scale. The memorial does not take* into cal i eolation the revenue derived from the I public lands, from the bank, and other in j ei.lental sources. Tne undersigned beg . leave to say for themselves, that they | have not understood it to come within \ the views of (he convention or of the I | committee, to make any suggestion I I w Imlever to your honorable body on the t subject of (he public lands. Assuming , i I lad the revenue from these sources is to I continue, it, cannot he necessary to raise ( more than nine, or at (lie utmost ten mil t lions hy the customs. Hy the report of < tin* {Secretary-of 11 to Treasury, il appears t that the income from these sources Ims y amounted, from the two past years, to t about three millions, and he estimates il ( for the present year at three millions six i hundred thousand dollars. I If the future average of imported i goods, paving duties and consumed iu t the United {slates, be estimated at fifty t seven and a half millions, which the me- , mo ria I supposes to Ini ve been Ihe average r of the last, six yeais, then mi average du- | ty of about 17 percent, would be aecrs- | nary to raise u revenue of 10 millions. ( We beg leave to suggest, howe.-er, that ( the average of future y ears w ill certainly * he greater (linn the past. Il appears. > taking an average i.Timports from l*'2l i to H2n inclusive, and again from l w 2(ito , IKMI, that (luring the whole period often years, there Ims been a gradual increase | of imparts for consumption, of about one per cent, per annum. We submit, how i ever, as n proposition scarcely dispnta- i hie, that (lie rate ol increase of duties by the nets of IKM and Under any , permanent system of duties w liieli does - I I not elli'et an exclusion ol foreign eiimino dilies, there must bean increase ofim ' pollution with the ineieasing population ■ and labor of the country: and il the pre sent role of duties were lo continue, it . might be expected (hut importation I would inerc'use more rapidly than during the period referred to. T his increase I may not be in the ratio of the increase ol ■ population, though il the same relative I proportion of labor should continue to be ■ applied to the production of comm di lies for exportation, and those products • should be of the same exchangeable vti- I lut*,Iut*, this would seem lobe (lie natural re . suit. Vet we suppose 11 1 sit tis the coun try becomes more populous, n larger por I tioa of its labor may he applied to the i production of commodities lor the home i market and that the value of exports i j may depreciate. To w/mt extent these causes may retard the increase of ex • ports, and prevent its keeping pace with the increase of population, it is impossi ble lo say. They operate gradually and ’ slowly. We submit, however, that the rate ol increase of imports is likely to im reasi more rapidly in consequence of u great ' reduction of duties. This increase it j may be impossible to estimate with area ■ | racy, tail on nil reason and experience it e must be very great.

If there e in reality any extension of the market, caused hy the introduction of nmuufac iurcs.it must ho a market sustained at the expense of the planters themselves, and at an expense, too which is much greater than the additional price which can possibly be produced for cotton. In this respect, it bears an exact antilo gy to the merchant >vbo pays bis pur chasers to purchase ids goods, more than the profit he should make on (hem ; or may be aptly compared to the institu tion of a standing army when die nation decs not require one, which will be fcuro to increase the demand for agricultural products, but at a cost to (lie farmer which will make him look on itasacursu to his country If we examine into this increase or I, it will he found so inconsidera ble, so inefficient in its operation, c peci ,i(jy when set olfagainst the grndu«. loss of market in Europe, which will in all probability ensue, that it is entirely un worthy of the the vast efforts which have been made to establish it - Eor be fore the American system was carried to the extent to which it is now pushed, our cotton fabrics were imported from Great ilrilain, and consumed in larger quanti ties than (hey would have been if made in the U. (Slates, in consequence of greater cheapness. The greater portion of these cotton goods were made with American cotton ; is it not evident, then, that if we produce these fabrics ia the United States England will utlord a less market than formerly, to the amount at least, of that portion of cotton which she manufactures for as ’■ It is dais certain that ifall the cotton goods consumed in the United Slates bud been made of American cotton, (be market for cotton goods, would, most undoubtedly have been lessened by the establishment of do mestic manufactures. UoHoa goods, cheap as they now are would have been cheaper still, if furnished us from abroad, and, consequently, a larger quantity would have been consumed, making the market for the raw material more exten sive than now. Molar as cotton fabrics can he manu factured and sold more cheaply in the United Slates, independently of protec ting duties, we do not deny that those manufacturers afford no additional and better market for the cotton. Hat it is of (he effect ol the protecting system that vve now inquire, H ull the cotton man ufactured ia the United Mtates could he m ami fart met I more cheaply abroad, nnd sold more cheaply here, after paying the cost of Iruasportalien and duties lor rev - enue, then it is certain that the market for cotton is injured in consequence ol foreign manufactures by means of pro tecting duties. Certainly all persons whose incomes are independent ol man ufactures by means of protecting duties, would be able in consequence of obtain ing them more cheaply, to purchase a . greater quantity of cotton fabrics than they now can. If there be a class of per sons in the manufacturing districts, or connected with manufactures who arc enabled to purchase cotton fabrics which they would not otherwise be able to pur chase, there would be a precisely similar class of persons connected with the En roll an manufacturers vv bicli our increas ed demand would call into existence. Though the aggregate of cotton fabrics consumed in the United States, should be diminished by a reduction of duty, the consuption of A meriean cotton would be ‘ increased. C ertuinly there would be an increased demand for American cotton roportioned to the increased American demand for foreign manufactures.
