WILDE, nr or.nnuiA, ON TUB TARIFF. Mr. \V*u.nr., bdjrgcd permission, before he pro ceeded, to correct a misapprehension which might naturally arise from an notctvation o! the honora ble gentleman from Massachuxott*, Mr. Arri.t- ton, renpocting himself. That gentleman had re- lerr»d to tho Journal* ofthe 14th Congress, to tax himf.Mr. \V.] with iacoiisittnncy in votingignliist a ptoposition lo reduce tho duty on brown sugar Iron three amt a half to two or two ami a half cents. The price of the article was then from sixteen to nineteen cents, nnd tin* duty he voted for as a nr- tnuc, duty, was lutenti) per cent. The honorable gentluinun could bavu loum) a more juat and ro- cent cause of complaint agaist him a. a member of the Committee of Wayh and Means; at this very «mwlnn, bo bad voted for reporting in vliw h the same urticle now valued at about live cor.If was proposed to-be eburged with a duly of two -cuts, or fvrly per cent.—llis apology v. us to be (oiiud in 1j. : s tin willingness, by u sudden change, to ruin iurgff bodies of men—iu Jiis uUuohcm nt lo tie* union, Liu JiiiriDoijy, mi J the buppiucus of his whole country. Which was strongest, bin love of Pr.kcv., or the gentleman’s love of Justice ? This Humph* of their fabrics would enable the committee to de termine. A short time since, he had urged the observance of a sound legislative rule—majorities vote, minor ities talk. It might seem, as sometimes |»ap|H»n» to better men than himself, there was •omo slight dis agreement between precept ami example. In re ality it was not so. lie had tiro ready justification of a politician’s ttlihi—• change of circumstances. He had been in tire majority, and Tided; he teas in the minority, and lie talked. Properly understood, nnd a proper understanding, was indispensable ir all things. Me was perfectly consistent. Yes, sir! said Mr. W. we were in a majority: il wis not contested. We nrr in a minority. How dno* it happen? Has our majority tluiwed away under the melting breath of executive pleasire ? lias it been dispersed, like a nullifying nn»hby the Pres ident’* Proclamation ? Have w e buun routed by the Siamese twin lcg»c of the gentlotrm from Con necticut. [Messrs. Ki.lisworth ri)d lluvn.-iq- ton] or the niore powerful lungs jl tl»r g«»ntle- mau from Frnnsylvknia ? Mr. McIyI!*w%x.J The inquiry may not Ik* wholly unintere.<mg to a portion of the people ot tlie United States If the motion of the gejiflnuAn from Connecticut. [Mr. Hunt nuton] prevail, this bill is defraud, in the pres* mt temper of the committee, it oust prevail. In the Committee of tho Whole on the state of the Union, we canqot have the uyrs and noes. We cannot catch tlie eels in the gll-nct; and as the people of the South will be u»ohle to imagine why such concessions, as they Bought were offered, should be refused, ho felt it to bo his duty to assist Mr inquiries. He considered this, in effect, a proposition to continue the present tariff, fnr the purpose of car rying on tho war against South-Csrolma. The merits of tho controversy were best Hummed up by tiic pithy saying of an eastern manufacturer—ot what use is tho Union without the tariff? nnd what good will the* Tariff Jo us without the Union ? The proposition lo the South, then, is iLLs: M You Hlmll mv »' dim. Now m’r, »m^ Mr. W., I )><it it to yourMiulor tmny, if we aref° r mamitacliiroa whetlior tlie in»n- ii f I.'?* (Mgl't not to pny tlie expense nftlie war? on fur ns liis vnioe went, they should if iso. He would •not vote a man n mnslte for nny such pnrpote. But there was some thin;; still more extraordinary.—Tlie hi"li tariff phrly of the North 8,- East say they pay an equal, or (.'renter portion of these taxes ; and they only ask for the poor privilege of being allowed lo tax thcmselvcl for the protection of their own in dustry ! Ami so, sir, they mean to fight its lor the right to tax themselves, and insist that, in justice, we must pay the rust oftho campaign. Compared with this Doctor Franklin’s Frenchman witli his poker, was mild nnd reaaonable. Mr. \V. said he put this proposition, not to Sonth-Carolina—she find decided; but he put it to Virginia, to Norlh-Coro- lina. Who says she sleeps when liberty is in dan ger and Nathaniel Macon lives? lie put it t< (ieorgia, to Alabama, to Mississippi, to Tennessee, to Kentucky. ^All h id nn interest in the question ; and lie reminded all, “ 7’i/rr rrsagifur pnriri cum prozimiu nrilJ." Soutb-ljarnlinn says she will en dure this system no longer. If yon insist nn ruin ing Ihc concern by your dishonesty and extrava gance, she asks leave to withdraw from tho part nership. Toil say she shall slay and lie ruined and if she won’t you ask us to help 1/01/ to blow her brains out! O, most holy Union, which must he preserved by cannon and bayonet! Happy repub lic!’by the grace of Hod and gunpowder, one and indivisible! Shull we not head our bulletins like revolutionary France, when, in anextacy of affec tion |br all iiriukiud, she proclaimed kbatekxitv ornF.xTii! May wc not say with her poet, the keenness of whose epigrams nothing can equal, but the instrument which would "have rewarded him had ho been discovered ?— “O, Is lie I ags, qua ad I’homnm dit a fhomms, must be called again ; and in the meantime the law operates. It the law afforded even reasonable hope of a return lo just, r councils, oonld it be doubted tli it H.iuth-Carolina would pause ? Upon the passage of thi- hill, or one similar to principle, depended, be believed, tho peace nnd integrity of the Union. If it was lest, hernpeafed, the people ofthe Smith should know hew, why and bv whose fault it it w as lost. If the ri spnnxriiiltty rested on their representatives, they would held them to n strict account. It mi others, they w ould learn to distinguish hut ween real slid pretended friends,— How was tlie present measure brought forward? Mr. IV. adverted to the I’resiileiit’s message at tire beginning of Congress, recommending, in - , , . , ■, , . , - -—-r strong and plain terms, g modification of the tariff j ^ t honor alinll Has he, asked Mr. IV,. at Iny tune advanced other The first and least evil which may proeoed from the defeat of tlris measure, ifehu blow come* from the quarter which threatens it, will he lo throw the power of settling this vexed question into o|her hands. Is this nn imaginary danger 1 What says , the horoscope ? Aro there no starry influences no * impending planetary conjunction nr opposition boding evil to the great nnd little politicians nfthe North? May not llespcr regain tho ascendant? In phrase less mystical, is it not a lnw of power that majorities divide, and minorities combine? If tho North nnd Hast coalesce to support the principles ofthe Proclamation, may not the South and West, to whom they arc less acceptable and familiar, unite to resist them? And what can be fairer or more natural ? II tbo giant nnd magician conspire bow can they he defeated hut by Nullification and Old Harry ? Pence is a gift too precious to bo re jected, come from what bauds it may.—The coun- Iry must lie saved, let who w ill save it.

Bfi'vf iu its official importance, on questions of revenue, was the opinion of tlie Secretary ofthe Treasury. This was well known from Ins annual rojioii, nml hiscontmtinicilinns with the Cotnmit- toe of Wnys and Mean* and the Committee on Manufactures. He spoke of public and .official transactions, not of conversations, secret nr confi- dentinl. Tlicro were none Such.

Nor would Ids vanity, if be hud been tlie depository of u State secret, the first Und, no iuubt, the lust he would have been trusted with have induced him to hint at the important and mys terious character of his charge. He npoko of lost- tera open and avowed j of things authorized to be romiuiiniealed, and in fact, staled to the liortse by the chairman nfthe Cnmmittoo on Manufactures, [Mr, Huffman.] He was warranted, then, in saying that the bill hud tho appropriation ofthe Secretary of the Treasury ; that it would give the necessary amount of revenue, without, in Ilia opin ion leaving any inordinate excess or destroying tlie manufacturers.—The ellnraclerofthfl Secretary was a guaranty that whatever he uttered he believ ed. Jic [Mr. \V.] waa no eulogist; but when he had occasion to s|.eak of anv man, ho ^ould do equal and exact justice. No! he retracted that ex pression ; equal and exact justice was beyond tho power of man. lint lie would do Ids friends a lit tle less than what iic thought was justice, that he might not flatter them through partiality ; and his adversaries somewhat more, lhat ho might not cen sure them from prejudice. Whatever else tlie Sec retary was, ha did not want civil courage.—On III it floor, where Mr. W. had know n him best, lus opinions, right nr wrong, wore always boldly avow ed and manfully defended. Had lie changed r.ce then? Would any one assert it? Was there any ope there who would hazard the assertion that Louis Me La no, ever wore two fares, uttered a falsehood, or betrsyed a friend ? There could not bo attributed lo him, therefore any more than to the President, two sets of opinions, private and public. Who else was there, then, whose views of this mutter could lie supposed to excrciso 11 material in fluence on the fate nf tlie bill ? The Vico Presi dent elect ?

To them, then, I ap peal; to them I address myself. Of wlnt use is it to speak tothc high tariff men oftho House?—the opponents ofthe administration and yet the advo cates of coercion. Their choice is made—their sanguinary purpose uttered. To whom, then, but to our political friends shall wc look in the day of trial? Who re else shall we nsk aid? where else can we find hope ? To them 1 turn, not to exhort, I have no vocation; riot to lecture, 1 am no prof* s- sor ; but to expostulate, as friend with friend. Un til recently we stood in tho same ranks, fighting the same battles, struggling ngninst tho same ad versaries, acknowledging the same leaders. It they now waver in tlicir faith or courage, may we riot without offence entreat them to stand by us in tliid oiirlast great danger?

Thus, and thus only if wc must separate, can both escape reproach, and hereafter, neither can complain of be ing deserted or betrayed. 1 invite them then, to examine tho strength and weakness of their position. Tho circumstances under which the bill came forward, had already been adverted to. All tho auspices, whether of men or days were happy ; all the omens fuvoruble. Who could bo better fit ted for a work of conciliation than his honorublc friend from New-York? [Mr. Veuplanck.]-- Where could wc look for ho much zeal tempered hy so much prudence, and above oil, for sincerity unsullied hy a doubt? The very sun shone forth upon his bill at the moment of its first reading ; nnd, in its earliest stagos, it wna borne along by triumphant inojoritcs composed in part of the very gentlemen to whom I now address myself. By whom is this destructive motion made ? By on avowed advocate of the high tariff and restrictive system ; by nn ardent opponent of tho present ad ministration ; by a determined adversary of the fa vorite nnd leading politician of Ncw-York. By whom is it supported ? by tho most resolute and unwavering enemies of State Rights, the doc trines of Jefferson, uud the republican school of politics. For what purpose? To destroy the dim The object is not concoalod ; on the contrary, it i distinctly announced.

Once more I hcscccli them to pauso if tin- part they must take is not already fixed, tlio company they must keep already chosen. Once mure, 1 remind them, that, iftliey involve this coun try in a civil war, the administration, sooner or later, will have fur its adversaries the whole Smith, it* uldenl and moat steadfasl friends,and fur its new allies those wlm have pursued it with tlie bitterest ridicule nml the deadliest enmity.—Iiefuru they throw themselves into this false position, I invito them to review with me the arguments which are used to seduce them from their Republican princi ples, (heir party attachments, and tlicir .Southern brethren. We have heard that wo must not submit lo he Imllicd by a single State. Wo must nut legislate with a sword over our heads. We will not be dic tated to by Niflith-Uarnlino !

In family quarrels the best heads and hearts arc ever ready Iu make tho greatest allowance fur er rors of judgment nml infirmities of temper.

We sliall he said to have yielded to our fears. And what course of conduct can we pursue,to which bad motivesenn- tiot be imputed ? Bad motives have been imputed to me, Mr. Chairman, to you and to every body else. Is that to be n reason for neglecting our duty ? Thun we must never do any thing. Tho very course gentlemen are pursuing to escape tho imputation of hail motives, will expose them to that very imputation. For example ; nn extract was pointed out to him tho other day in a newspaper, which stated, “ it is also said lhat Judge Marry has written to tlie Van Bureti members of Congress, tlmt tlioy must stick to 1 lie existing Tariff, anil oppose any reduction of duties until Calhoun shall be so thoroughly down ns to prevent all danger of his political ressurroc- lion. After that is done, it is intimated that some thing might lie yielded to South Carolina.” Now lie [Mr. W.l did not believe lhat .lodge Marry bail ever written sorb a letter, lie had too good mi opinion of his prudence. lie had no iden the Vice President elect hud ever authorized nny ono to write micIi a letter. Hot tlie futlinr-in-lnw of Judge Mnrcy is understood lo exercise n gren' influence over tho politics of Ncw-York, to hav* a very deep interest in wool, nnd to ho lilterU °P" posed to nnv reduction of duly on it.

Now, tho troth no doubt in that the gentlemen in question [Mr. Knu does entertain an opinion unfavorntile to - ,l " iditi- lb cation of the tariff at pre* pressed that opinion to his m-micnl friends, as lie lias a perfect right to it-- Neither Judge Marcy nor the Vice Present elect, are m tho slightest degree responsible lor it ; and tho opinion itself may be perfectly honest. Yet alter nil, such is the uncharitablcness of the world, that when men have a personal interest in maintaining certain very honest opinions, the honesty of such opinions is thought to tie a scruple less, than standard fine ness. The popular notion of honesty wus best expressed hy a burlesque toast which lie remem bered. Some years ago, some one, lie forgot at the moment who, had been toasted as “the man who dares be honest in the worst of times.” A wag of Boston—where, by tlie bye, they manufac ture the best toasts, if toasts arc not tlicir best manufacture—wrote a ludicrous account ol an a- holilion festival, wlicro thenar or (,'ufly was thus made to travesty that sentiment : •* lie man— who dar bo lioness when lie git nothin by lum.”— That, sir, [said Mr. \V.J is tho only honesty which wins universal credence. A liulurc to observe it was tlie great mistake of a distinguished gentle man from*the West, who, eight years ago, had oc casion lo give a vole in tho Houso tor President, and who afterwards became Secretary of State under the Presidency of tho gentleman for whom ho voted. In tlmt voto tho person giving and tlie person receiving it might he free from the slightest censure. Mr. \V. be lieved they were so. Nei ther did lie mean to be understood as saying that in consequence of that voto tlie gentleman refer red to got any tiling. Ho was not one of those wiio argue” post hoc,ertfu, propter hoc.” Ho hud. not joined the vulgar clamor : but that the fact of Ins taking uftice bad been successfully though wrongfully appealed to as implicating tbo purify ol ills motives, admitted of no doubt, llis honesty bad been assailed because it did not appear to be un profitable. Who, then, can expect to escape cen- sme if they profit hy their honesty ? Ho adverted to these tilings not to wound tlie feelings & much less the reputation of any human being. Fur all tlie distinguished names of his country lie cherish ed an habitual fondness. He felt tie Imd an inter est in them ns an American citizen. Whoever fur nished their lustre, robbed him of n portion ol his birthright. Tlie matters lie referred to were men tioned in no spirit of censoriousness of unkimlness, hut as topics of philosophical argument and spec ulation. They might servo to show gentlemen that tho fear of having had motives imputed to them, was no safe rule of action : for, in tho in stance alluded to, tlie distinguished citizen upon whom such motives were, no doubt untruly, sup posed to operate, was nt first disposed to declino coming into the administration. But lus friends pursunded him that such a refusal would be attribu ted to tlio timidity of nn evil conscience, V their importunities exposed him through the tear ol dan ger, to the very danger they feared ' But, sir, continued Mr. W. if it were possiblo that any friend ot tlie Vice-I’resident elect could da, and n will suococd, iftliey support it, the lull is lost. Will they hear witli me while I hazard sonic conjectures on the consequences ? I havo no gift of prophecy.

Never soem to prosecute a depressed adversary, if you do not wish to raise him above you. , But it will be urged, no doubt, that tho Vico President elect ought not to he identified with tho gentlemen to whom these considerations were sog- .rested, nor they with him. They were not his men, nor any ono rise’s men. They were their own men. Undoubtedly. He intimated nothing to the contrary. But unhappily again, “ circumstance
