TO TIIE PEOPLE OF 8. CAROLINA. Tho undersigned, a portion of your Represen tatives in the Congress of tho United States, feel it to be their painful, but Indispensable duly, iu tbe present extraordinary crisis of your affairs, to submit, for your grave and solemn consideration, the following brief views of your present condi tion aud future prospects, as they are effected by the unconstitutional legislation of Congress..— Whatever hopes may have been iudulged at the commencement of the session, that a returning sense of justice ou the part of tile majority would remove or materially mitigate tho’grievous load of oppression under which you have so long labored, and of which you have so justly complained, the undersigned are now reluctantly constrained to declare that these flattering hope’s, too long defer red, and too fondly cherished, have finally and forever vanished. A dispassionate view of the history and progress of the protecting duties and of those kindred measures, which, in their combi nation, constituto the “American system,” has brought their minds to the deep and deliberate conviction, that there is no principle of reaction in the system itself which will warrant the belief that Congress will ever voluntarily grant to the planting States a restitution of those sacred rights, without which property has no value and liberty itself is the mere mockery of an empty name.— On the contrary, experience has conclusively de monstrated that the system is essentially progres sive, each successive advance creating additional motives and supplying additional means for future acquisitions. There is bo principle of human ac tion more steady iu its operation nnd more bound less in its desires, tbnu the thirst for pecuniary gain, not even excepting ambition. And itwould bo just as ratiodnl to expect that a military cou- queror would voluntarily arrest his own career of couquest, aud retreat before liis qun\)ing adversa ries, as to hope that the irresponsible majority, who control the legislation of Congt-ess on this subject, will voluntarily arrest this career of leg islative exaction, urged on as they are by the in stinct of self-interest, under the guise of patriot ism, amt subject to no human restraint but their own will. In the history of the protecting system, there are threo distinct eras,' each of them unequivo cally marked by tile extended combination and increased strength of the manufacturing interests,’ aud not less uucquivocally by the increased pro tection of those iutcrcsts. In 1816, at tho close of t* _war which gave an unnatural stimulus to domestic manufactures, the liberality, the grati tude, and tho patriotism of Congress all conspired to recommend, that iu reducing and ndjuslmgtbe revenue duties of llw war to tiio acquirements’ of a peace establishment, the luanufucturiug inter est, which had generously sustained tho Govern ment wliilo other interest's had dcsertod it, should be savetl from tho rninotts shock of a too sudden transition, by unking the reduction gradual and progressive. Accordingly (ho duties upon cottou and woolen manufactures were placed at tho ud valorem rate of twenty-five pcr'contuin, with the provision that no cotton fabric should be estima ted tft of less value than twcu'ty-five coats pur square yaid, thnUiciug about the oxUliug price of the coarse cotton manufactures then usually im ported. - Tbe duty on hammered iron was fixed at tho rato of forty-five cents por hundred weight which did not egcccd tweuly-livo per centum on the ex isting value- of that article, und the duty on all manufactures of irou was placed at twenty-five per cent ad valorem. In fact, it may be stated generally, that the average of the duties imposed upon the protected class of articles by the tnriffof 1816, was not more than, twenty-five per centum on their value, bnving reference to the then ex isting prices, of such as were subjected to mint- mum or specific duties; while the mere revenue duties upon coffee, tea and wiucs, averaged at least fifty per centum. Tho principle was hore distinctly assumed, that the unprotected articles were tho more appropriate subjects of taxation, and ought to pay higher duties than the protect ed articles, for tbo obvious reason that the pro tection givcu by tiic duties on these latter article) to one class of American’ producers, nccosxarily imposed an equivalent burthen upon anoiber class. Buf e’veh these rates of duty upon cotton and woollen manufactures, wore temporary upon the very face of tho uct which imposed them, it be ing expressly provided that, in three years, they should be reduced from twenty-five to twenty per cent ad valorem. So far, therefore, from being placed at this rate, for the exclusive- pur|iosa of protection, those duties were actually lower than others which were exclusively designed for rev enue; and, so far from giving au implied pledge that they should he retained aud extended, wit fl out reference to tho fiscal wants of tho govern ment, the act of 1916 contained an express dec laration, that even thcJmcideOtal protection of the roveuue rates should not contiuuo above tweutv per cent for more than tbreo years. Instead, b'ewererof acquiescing in the pruvisicus of the itcl of 1316 the manufacturing interest was the first <0‘ disturb them, by procuriug the repeal of (fteClause which provided that, in three years, the ad Caiorcm duties on cotton and woollen manu factures should be reduced from twenty-five to twenty \<Ct Ctfif/ . But, stilt Unsatisfied with the protection so gen erously yielded to them, the manufacturers coti- tlmied to clamor for a yet greater increase of the duties, until they succeeded in 1824 in having them raised on woollens from 25 to 33| per cent; on iron -90 cents per hundred; while, on cottou manufactures the minimum was raised from 25 to 30 cents, the square yned, being equivalent 'to nit average increase of 10 to 15 per cent ad valorem; and, on most other manufactures, a very consid erable addition was made to the duties. The ta riff of 1824,- was passed with tho almost unanim ous opposition of the representatives from all the saulhern States; and nothing induced the people of the south at that time to acquiesce in it, but tbo solemn assurance of its leading advocates, thatno . further call for protection would over be made id behalf of the manufacturing interest. This plcdgo was most distinctly made iu Congress during the discussion of that measure. . But this was soon forgotten or disregarded, and id 1826, renewed ef forts wore made to extend protecting duties, par ticularly on wool nnd woollen manufactures, ef forts which were perseveringly prosecuted until 1828, when they were crowned with complete success, by the enactment of what has been ap propriately denominated a “bill of abominations.” This act increased the duties ou woollen manu factures, on an average of more than 20 per cent, and most of the protecting duties to a considera ble extent, though not quite so thitchi , , Such is a brief history of the progress of the protecting system since the Into war, a history which the people of tho southern States can con template with no other than the, most melaucbo-; ly reflections. They cannot but perceive that what was modestly solicited and generously gran ted as a temporary protection against the disasters of a sudden change, produced by the act of tho Government itself is now imperiously demanded, with a more than twofold increase, as a matter of right, aud as a measure of permanent policy.— They cannot fail to perceive also, that after the progress and improvements of 40 years—1G of them under a protection of from 25 to, 50 percent, during which our manufactures have had full tirao to reach their maturity, a rate'of protecting du- tios is now established as’tlie permanent policy of the country, four times as much us that which was recommended by Aioxander Hamilton, when those manufacture* Were iu their infancy. Up on every principle of reason and justice, and up-, on tho avowed principles of Mr. Hamilton, tho author of the protecting system, no manufacturo cau have any claim to protection which cannot dispense with it after a few years of probation.-— But these principles are.entirely disregarded and revorsed by tho present advocates of tnis system. Tho experience, maturity, and improvements, which, according to those principles Which should induce the manufactures to dispense with even the original protecting duties, have had no other effect than to iocrcaee their demands. Tho in fant which was generously nourished in its feeble ness, now grown up to maturity, proves to be a gigantic monster, which turns upon its benefac-. tors and devours their substance, with an nppe- tite increasing with its ttatUre, and which nothing' can satiate. Adverting to the- several iteps by which this: system has attained its present dimensions, it wilt bo sceu, that by tho acts of 1824, tho protecting, duties were only raised on an avorago, about ten’ { icr cent, nnd oven this increase was carried in the iottso of Representatives by a meagre majority of five votes only; whereas, til 1828, tho amend ments of the Seiinte, which raised the duties on woollcu'mnuufactures from 33} per cent to an averago of more than 50 per cent, estimated tho effect of the minimus, and other protecting dutios’ in proportion, were carried in tho House of Rep resentatives bv tho ovorwhelmning majority of 117 votes to 07! It is thus apparent that the sys tem is not only progressive, bitt that each succes sive advance has bscn greater thaix tbo proceed ing, and that tho number of Its supporters has' steadily increased at every successive struggle in Congress. Considered in reference to the condition of the coQutry, aud tho wants of tlio government, the ro-. cent struggle, aud tho measure which has result ed from it, form no exception to this remark. In-, deed it may he affirmed with confidence, that tho'; system is, at this moment, stronger than it ever has boon at aiiy former peroid. In 1816, with a vast public debt to discharge, it was necessary to' provide an annual revenue of $21,000,000. It ts ript now necessary to provide more than half that sum. If therefore, iu 1816, the protecting duties did not average more'than 25 por c.cut, when it was necessary to provide twenty-four rfiUlious of revenue, it clearly follows, that upon the principles of the act of 1816, with out reference to our prospective reductions, tho protecting duties should now be reduced to 12} percent when it is not necessary to pruvido a revenue of more than $12,000,000. Yer, what are the provisions of the act recent-, ly passed? The burthens of tho protective duties are decidedly increased, estimating tho cash du ties and diminished credits, aud they now actual ly stnnd at an average of more than fifty per ceut,' while the Unties ou tho unprotected articles, which, upon every principle of cqbality and justice, should sustaiu tho principal part of the burthens of taxation, arc, with a few inconsiderable ex ceptions, entirely repealed. Upon those manufac tures which nre received in exchange for tlio sta ple productions of tho Southern States the ag gregate increnio of the burthens of taxation be yond what they were uudnr the tariff of 1828, is' believed to bo upwards of ono nvillym of dollars;. While redaction or repeal of the dime* on tho.,e imports which are rccoivcd In change .for tho pro-' dilutions of tho Turiff States and are principally consumed in those States, amounts to about four millions of dollars. While, therefore, the aggre gate burthens of taxation nre diminished four mil lions of dollars by this bill, tlio positive burthens of tho Southern States are not dimiuised at all' and their relative burtheus nre very greatly ia-. creased. The relief which these Stute's will de rive, as consumer*, from the reduction and re peal of the duties ou the' exchange of tho north, will not he more than equivalent to the in creased burthen* imposed ou the exchanges of* i the South. Ou the other hand, those iucrcasod burthens on the exchanges of tlio South' operate as bounties to the manulacturcriug States to tlio amount or wore than a million ufdollars, and the reduction and repeal of duties ou their exchanges odd consumption operate as a relief to them of at least throe millions more. It results from all this, that the manufacturing State* are relieved aud benefilted, by the provisions of tho now ta riff, to the the uoiouut of four inilliaus cF dollars annually, while the unequal nqd oppressive bur thens Of the planting States are-nut oulf umiiin- iuished, but greatly aggravated by their increas ed inequality. The but'.Uu* arc precio ly ibe same now that the government requires only twelve millions of revenue, that they were when it required double that amount. The extinguish ment of tho public debt; to which they looked for- wai d With tho most chccriug anticipations, brings thorn no relief. On tho contrary, it gives them the most unequivocal assuroi re of their hopeless condition nnd final destiny, so far as these esu be fixed by Congress. It may be be said, with
