Hut I am ut the sums time constrained to say. tliut no re. port of that address, which 1 have ever seen, does correctly represent tile arguments wliicli 1 addressed to that Assembly—and, to repeat the remark which I made when the report of them first met my eye. that lint for Ibe fact that my name was prefixed lo the article. I would scarcely have conjectured Unit II wits intended as a rep rl of whul I Imd said. Nay, I add tliut with ua express acknowledgment of ibis fad, 1 was urged lo wiile out llinl address, as it was delivered, lor Ibe cir culation by llm Wnigs of New York, and taut since ! have been here, i have chanced lu meet with two of our eitigeus who were present a! iis delivery, one of uluui) bus heretofore occupied u'distinguished sia lion in Ibe public service, and yet retains a firm liuld on the confidence of the people of Georgia, who concur in declaring that nu such upiil- ion. ns (hat wit eh is impaled to me, was uttered on that occasion. To avoid nil I inure cavil on this subject, to exhibit distinctly t lit) u- pinion entertained not merely by me. lull by the Whig party, as more than mice deliberately expressed, I will briefly stale ihu views which 1 entertain nil this subject. 1 believe thill ilia revenues of the Government should he raised by defies nu imparls,and not hy direct taxation. Discarding as unsound tile assertion that Ihu cost of production, and all the liner mediate charges upon an article, in ils transit from the producer to the consu. mer, must be paid by the latter, I hold tliut these charges ure divided between ilium. in a proportion wliicli is regulated by tlio slate of de. maud and supply in the market of consumption, nod the degree uud activity of the competition wliicli is encountered there—and that tin. dor the influence of these causes, the foreign producer is compelled lu abate a portion of Ins profits by paying a portion of the duties im. [•used upon the importation of his wares, us the price of the privilege which lie cnjn\s of competing in our market wilh the domestic pro. dncer of similar articles—llial the i-fluct of this competition is in re- dace the price of the uriiclo to the consumer, wliiln it a fiord, a reve. line to the G ivernment—and that to the extent In which revenue is so utliirded hy the payment of n portion of die duly ilie foreign produc- er, the people of llte United Suites uru relieved from the burthen uf tax nion. But since the primary nl-j-ctof iho Imposition of duties is lo fur nisit a revenue to the Government, the uuiouut of revenue required, must limit the dtili-s imposed. If this were tint so, nu immially ac cumulating surplus in die pub'ic treasury, an evil ulwnys to lit- depre emud, would he the icsull. Within the Until*of revenue, however, 1 have heretofore avowed myself tu he, as 1 now uni, an ndvucniu for the protection of our domestic industry, hy a wise discriiriunliim in f ivor of those uriiclus w Inch, sustained by litis protection, can tie pro. ducud ut homo. 1 never maintained the opinion, dial a larifT of duties should be im posed without regard to the amount of revenue required, and solely tor die purpose of protreiiou—or ns 1 lie phrase is. udvocaled -'pro ICL-Iion lor mo sake of protection” and regardless of revenue, W hut I lo.nu l,pret..f.»ru adv-,undid, nod still advocate is, a tUI'llf Ibr revenue uml discrimination lor protection, (Jnali e Imm the pressure of inv daily engagements to prepare for puh.ica’i in, Ilia address wliicli lias been referred to. 1 summed up the varions arguments wliicli I had urged, and die several opinions u liicli 1 hail expressed lo die people of llm different S ales, in some remarks which were delivered subsequently in die City of Boston, and these were published under my supervision. I'm,da right lo expect that those who were curious to know tny opinions on this subject woo d ut least have sought them in an nuitmrtZ'd repoit. Tne family of utir opponents, lias next led them lo make nut direct ly, but by insinuation, ihu charge of having couuleiiilueed abolition. The folly of preferring such un accusation, is so absolute ; it is so entirely duslimie, even of I hut lefi-handed wisdom, to which our op pmients have an undoubted claim, that I may nut occupy your lime with its consideration. To die mis-rab e in-iuuation, attempted lo lie made hy die assertion, that I attended a meeting in Boston, as the companion of Mr. Cassius M. Clay,that Abolitionist, uud under Abo. ill ion banners moved in procession through die stre-ts, I have to say that die lain, as it lias reached my ears, in*y have (I do not know llial it Ins)just tin,nigh of truth in it lo save its author from convic lion for falsehood in n Court of Justice, i did attend u meeting of the Wliigs of Massachusetts, in Boston. 1 saw Mr. Cassius M Clay (here, for the only time i have ever met with him ; but ids address, to a portion ol inui assemblage, was not delivered in my presence, having been myself engaged in addressing iinollier part of it. und in a different place at the time of its delivery. Il any man should as sen tlmi there were in that assembly, men favorable to the abolition ol sluvery. i would say that among tile uncounted thousands who were there. I think il very probable there were. If again, he should uflirm tliut there was in die long procession funned hy dial vast multitude, some badge or banner expressive of die sentiment* of him who wore, or bore ii. lie would affirm dial of which I know limiting.— li was a line, far loo much extended, to he wilhin the view of anv one inui. What I have to say is this;—It was a meeting of the Whigs of Massachusetts, assembled for the promotion ol an object, fa windi the Whigs of Georgia had like interests with themselves. No mint presented hiniseli' there in the character ol an Abolitionist. No Ah oltlimi banner met my viow. 1 add that ho who uflirms directly, or in. ■iooules hy indirection, dial 1 did on dial, or on any other occasion, give cutiulenniiCH lo a fanaticism, my abhorrence of wliicli, iifn-nex pressed in die Senate of the Unnod Stales, is only limiied hy llm pi y which I fuel fur ils victims, such it man asserts what, in the net of uttering il, he knows to he false, or ho is a madman, who know not wluit tin does assert. Lmiucy, or falsehood are the only ulteruu lives which can ho presented to him. But it is enquired why 1 was absent from die Stale during tin: Can. vass of 1644. This is urn the ground of nccusniinn by a political opponent. It is the complaint uf u political associate, who flatters mu dm much by the importance wliicli the act of preferring il. would uit.icli to my etloris in dial exciting struggle. I might meet this en quiry hy saying, that ihu Presidential election was one in w liicli all the Slates of the confederacy, had a common interest—that the ba de grnuiid on which it was to bn fought, wus tilt broad surface of the Un ion, und tlmi I did mv duly where 1 was induced in believe my services would Im most available—that there wits in this Slate, and actively engaged i-i the canvass, a host of patriot Whigs, capahln, without nny aid of mine, of overwhelming our opponents in die field of dehait— that 1 came to the Stale in August, lo meet my fellow citizens imi-im filed in Convention at Mudismi, there to Im assured thill llm Slat- would he carried hy a large majority for Mr. Clay—that llte-e us«ur- ances were repeated lo me from multiplied sources, up to the time of election——and that such I believed until die result was ascertained, wus the conviction oven of out opponents——'lint under this statu of things ut homo, pressed hy the representations of those who were high in the confi, fence of the parly, (woosh means of judgment were ample, and whose judgment hits been confirmed hy the uvoin) thill llm deuu, table ground in the contest was lo he found in Iho middle States, I re. paired at no inconsiderable sacrifice, to fulfil my duty them.

But I elmoso t • disarm cahiiimy of its power to wound, und am desirous ofcorrecting h<iu«»t Hppreheusion, and lienee the follow, ing detail.

I came in Au gust, nod on receiving the assurance that nil was safe in our own Slate, I hastened back to what wus deemed u more important and dangerous position. I liavtt made this explanation with tile purpose which | have suited. I have fulfilled my duly us a parent, und as a citizen, and uin content to abide the result. But with these ample means of vindiciiliun, why it is asked, have 1 remained silent J Why have 1 suffered the shutdursof llte Democrat ic press, lu circulate uitcuairadicied among tlio people ol Georgia ?— I tie question may wall be asked, nmv that tlio motive to this sacrifice of my personal feelings, Ims been luisumlersloud by lliusu fur » built it wus made. But Ibis tnn. shall be utistvercd. H’u were engaged in a canvass mi winch dop-tided the election of a Governor, and the members of our biennial Legislature. In llte Humiliating Convention of 1643. I had contributed my foil share lo druw from his retirement, the pit rtnlic ciliz-n, who lias so utilv dis. cinirged the duties ot the Chief Executive Magistracy, during the last two yeurs. I felt moreover lltui hi* re election was of incalculable importance to the Stute, and tiiat it would exercise, as it lias exetciseti a lieulllilut influence upon Hie Wnig party o] the Union. His admin, istrotiim of the duties of Hull Itign office, had been so absolutely su perior to all exception, had placed him so entirely beyond tltu reach of tint cat ils of uur opponent*, that I as-nreil myself o|' bis suet ess, if the rent-wed discussion uf federal and foreign issues, and the excitement which tliut discussion would produce, could lie excluded from the canvass. 1 knew tmiilint such was llm convictimi of the Whig j -ttriy generally—and I determined, at whatever siit-rificn of personal feelings, that no act of mine should deprive him of llte benefit of un I unionItarrussed canvass. Tat-means of repelling tint calumnies of j the Democratic press were at my Command, uud inv personal let-lings prompted to their instant use ; It u. so to have used them would have been to have re opened a disco sjott whic.lt was cmiueully calculated to hewiider. ami to mi-1,-ad til- judgment of the people of Georgia — We were snfe upon all ilit? i*mm‘S wliicli belonged appropriately •«.» tlie canvas*.

My ivxolatiiin was therefore taken to abide m .silence ll»e renewed und reckless assaults of our opponents, rather than to jeopard a single vote on the Executive canvass, I have fulfilled my purpose. Tlio party lias triumphed, and I am content. Even now I would renew the sacrifice, rather than that Georgia should he delivered over again to Democratic misrule—rath er than that tltu patriot sou of a patriot sire, who was the friend of mv youth, and die friend and faithful and efficient servuu*. of his conn irymen.should have been denied the menied reward uf his patriotic service, the renewed expression of die confidence of a grateful pen. | pie. i Gentlemen, I have done with die reminiscences of die past.
