But, Sir, if the west has gained nothing by the sys tem, she has hud liar share of the tuxes which it imposes—she has paid her pro portion of dtttios,to the government, mid bounties to the irfanufaeturtTs; and, in con sequence of the dire calnmitius which the -system has itillictud on the south—blast- -aug our commerce and Withering our pros perity—she west has very nearly been do- prived-of tier -best -customer. When the policy of "J4 went into operation, the south was supplied from tim-west, through a single avenue, (the Saluda - Mountain Gap.) with.live stock, horses, cattle, and hugs, to the amount of considerably up wards of a million of dollars try ear, Un der the pressure of the system; this tri.de has regularly beau diminishing. It has already fallen off Utoro than otto half, and from an authentic return, now before mo, it appears that it has been further (llntiti- jslteil near one hundred iititl fifty thousand dollars during the last year. So much for the rich blessing liestowod upon tlio west by the pro'tiding system We come no”* to the Sooth. If uny -portion of the rich fruits of this system -itavo been scutirrod there, limy Itavo not fullctt undor -my obsorvatiai). Sir, we .know them out—we see them not—wo feel ibum not. It may he supported, how- over, (hat we ate too lull of prejudice, or 4oo ungrateful, to acknowledge the bless ings it has bestowed iipuu us. Sir, wo have heard of men having honor ifntist upon them, and perhaps (here may bo.such a thing at having benefits thrust upon an unwilling people: yet ( should think, llmt oven in such a case, they w»nM soon be come reconciled to thoirlot, and submit to their fine with it good grace. But, I us sure the gectlcin m, that lint- condition of 'the smith is not mproly otic' of tinoXunt- j pled depression, hut of great and ull-per- vadi ig distress. In uty own Stale, the unhappy change which hits within a few years puit taken place iu the public pros perity, is of the most appalling character. If we look at the preseut condition of out cities, (and I will take Charleston by way of example,) we fiud every whore the mournful evidence of premutuie decay. Sir, ilia crumbling memorials of our for mer wealth anti happiness, too eloquent ly teach us, that, without son.o change in your policy, the days of our prosperity ure itumbdfod.” Sir, it is within my own experience, that,'in the devoted city in which my lot has been cast, a thriving foreign commerce was, within a few years past, carried on direct to Europe. Wo tiud native merchants, with largo capitals, ' engaged in the foreign trade. We Imd thirty Or forty khipa, many of thorn built, and all owned in Charleston, -and giving employment’^ a numerous and valuable body of mechanics and tradesmen. Look at tho state of things now ! Our mer chants bankrupt or driven away—their capital sunk or-transferred to other pur suits—our ship-yards broken up—out ships all sold!—yes, Sir, I urn told :tin vory last of thetii was, a fow months ago, brought to the bummer—our mnchimica in despair; the very grass growing hi our sweats; our housesitilling into ruin; reul cstnto reduced to one third part of jut val ue, and rents almost to nothing. The cupmorco, which we are still permitted to enjoy, diverted from its proper chan nels-, carried on with borrowed capital, imd through agents sent among us, and maintained hv the tariff policy, bearing off their profits to more favored lands, eating out our substance, anti leaving to our own people the miserable crumbs which full from thq taldoof their prosper ity. If wellv from the city to thu coun try, what do we there behold'? 'Fields abandoned ; die hospitable mansions of our fathers deserted! agriculture droop ing ; our slaves,- like their mtitiopi, work ing Iwrdor, mid faring worse; the plan ter striving, with unavailing efforts, to avert die ruin which is before hint. It has often been my lot, Sir, to see rfio'tjnce thriving plainer reduced to despair; eurs- ingiiis haul fate, gathering up the smalt remnants of his broken fortune—and, with his wifo and his little onov, tearing himself from the scenes of his childhood, and the bones of his ancestors, to seek, it. the \vi|. dernnss, that reward for his industry, of which your fatal policy has deprived hint. Sir, when wt- took »t our tortile fields, ami considcribe genial climate with which Ood has blessed the South—when wi coutemplato the tare felicity of our posi thin, ns the producers of an article, which, under a system of free trade, would com mand the markets of the World—is it not enough to till our hearts almost to burst- ;wa to find the richest blessings that an tn iulgeui Providence over showered down upon ilia hesds of any poopl os Uv the cruel p.rl'ey of i non'; to find tlie bounties t bl.inod hv ihe hand of tnitn. Sir. I will not natty that thou- are other causes be sides thu tariff, which have contributed to rb educe the uvils whlch-l hsve depicted. .Trade can, to some extent, lie carried on with greater facility at New York, and Alabama'.; but,'tin imi have broken tt moro .profitably iu advantages would e commerce or de pressed the agriculture of Sooth Carolina, while mi unrestricted Miiert o'urjo with for eign nations, enabled u* torealrte thn most moderate profits!

Iu this condition-of the country where is there to ha found a tuhilmciu of the promises held out to the south in 1824? YYo were then told that wo had mistaken the true character of this system. W« were entreated only to try it for a short time. We wore told that the taxes im posed on foreign articles would be but temporary ; that the manufactures would want protection but for ashorfYimc—oiilv to give them a start—and that they would soon he able to stand alone. Wo were to Imvo had a double market for our cotton —high prices, reviving rontn^erco, and renewed prosperity. Sir* after the ex perience oi four yeatS, tint tariff of *28 canto uo for consideration, by which tile protecting system was lo be further ex tended and enlarged. And what wits found to Itavo beeu tlio result of fitur years’ ex perience at tho South? Not a itepe ful filled, not one promise performed—and our condtiiiin infinitely worse than il had been four years 'before. Sir, the whole South rose tin as one man, and protested against nny further experiment with this futnl system. Tlio whole of the repre sentatives of seven States, Virginia, Nin th Carolina, South Carolina, Georgiu, Ala bama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, (With, I believe, hut three dissenting voices,) re corded their voles against that bill. Sit, do not gentlemen find in this fndj some evidence of the dangerous character of iliut legislation on which this.system is bused. Can it be wise—ran it be just— can it be prudent—to adopt and epfofce a policy so pssruti dly sectional in its char acter ? Can we hope for harmony, pesew, a ml concord, while onfinclag a system "gniitst which un -entire section of ynut country so strongly revolts ?—It is the es sential principle of-the representative sys tem, that a mutual sympathy of feeling and of Interest, should bind together the peo ple and Iheir rulers ; amt it may .be wnr- j thy of profound ri-fl 'Ctiott how far that principle is essentially preserved by 11 schmno. of legislation, under Which the feeling? and interests of so large a portion qf tlio country arc outraged and trampled on. When taxes are imposed, not by the eprosCnfafiyes of those who are to hoar the burthens, but of those who tiro to re ceive the homily. Now, Sir, let us torn our attention to the North. And hero I cannot speak from my own knowledge, hut I am lieu 10 confess, that if wo uio to credit jjiu ac counts tvo lurVo hoard, the rich fruits of the system liuvo been scattered in this quarter with n profuse hand. We me. told iliut nniiutfiiclm ing establishments have sprung up every whore us if by en chantment. Thriving towns and beauti ful Tillages cover the Whole face of the land. Millions of capital have been with drawn Trmp other pursuits and invested in mamifhctures. .Joint stock companies are receiving enormous dividends; mid the people, (at least in tbo neighborhood of the establishments built up am! sustained lly the system) are rejoicing in a prosper ity unexampled in the history of tbo world. But Sir, in the midst of this universal joy, we hear Ot cnsinnally the voice of lamen tation and complaint. There are those north of the I’ot 11 mac, wise and experi enced, and patriotic men, well arquaiuied loo with the actual condition of- things, Britain 0110 hundred thousand hides of rollon, worth, (at thirty dollars a bale) three Bullions of dollars, end that wo re ceived in exchange three millions of dollars worth ot British cotton goods. How much of our cotlen would it take to manufacture these goods? Why, just twenty-five thou sand bales, while thn remaining seventy- five thoutaud would be disposed of on the m opposition to the Tariff. And it is par- ticuiatly unfortunate that (#< oliita and Georgia, do uot understand each other bet ter, and harmonise more cordially in tlieir resistance to Iheoppressiveexactionsoflhe Eederai <ioveinment.—Why-should uot these states, sisters by locution, by past toils, past triumphs mid present sufferings, bo in principle 0110 and indivisible? - There is 110 good reason for it. In truth, upon mu- eoutinent. Bat suppose tho importation | "y u{ “?«, b rrea ‘ doctri,u ' s ol ,roe »«•«*«' 111 iff tltese'goods prohibited, in order tt.al s,i » u r 'S!*‘*r “ ,er0 '* no "ht'erial differ t"' I MlVflVICUIIVWII ty peopkl, tent from of ottfltiwn gevern- nties of ’Wkiivcil thus they should ho made at hohie, what por- libn of this, cotton would find u home market? Only twenty-five tiieurami bales, aiidjhe remaining seventy-five thousand must he left tipon odr hands. Thus, it wilf he semi, that the effect of substituting' a home market in t^te pluco of a foreign market for our cotloe, would be to de prive ns entirely of it- market for tlrtee- I'ourths of ottr jtroduciiohs. This result is inevitable, unless tlio domestic tnunu- faclorcr can enter into contpet'tlum witli tho British in foreign mar/eris, an idea.tl- togetlier too extruvngani lo he worthy if serious notice ; for surely, if-any thing can he considered certain, We may Sstely' a»- stune licit nrlalcs which cannot be iihiiiu- f.icturpil' at homd without a protcc.liiigduly of from fifty to olio hundred' pr.-V cent, cannot enter into competition with fnreigs iil.initfiicHirtis in the markets of the world, where they will, oY course, have no pro- Miction whatever. But to return to the condition of tlio trwrlli under the protect ing policy. If the rich fiuits of tbo sys tem in that quarter were grottier even titan they are alleged to be, 2 should still think that they have been purchased at too dear a rate. It Inis even there depressed jtmr commerce, disturbed all tbo relations ol society, and had a tendency to produce that inequality of fortunes, which may, one day or other, bo fatal (0 the liberties of ibis country. ■Servevine with the feelings of uu Auler- idatt till.' ac.uiat cmnlitiou ot things, 1 should chi ininly be disposed to exchange aH tho blessings which tlm prtrtecting system has produced, even in New Engl tnd, for those which it ha* destroyed, in tint place of the splendid villages, flourishing manufac tories, joint-stock oqtn|v<iiies,mid lordly proprietors, ciutiied in fine linen, and far ing sumptuously every day, as a patriot, ! should bn disposed to say, givtt me back the ship! which have been destroyed, the met chant* which have heed reduced to ha'nkruptcy, the sailors that have.beeu forced into foreign service, tho “plumiflr- ed ploughmen and beggared yeomanry" who have been driven from the pursuits of their choice into tho gloomy walls ot a manufactory; give nut hack these , and above all, give me hack content—rtestote the peace and harmony which-tins system lias destroyed, and I will consent that ev ery manufacturing est-ddislimeiit 'shall he fazed to its foundation, »liiclt Inis been built up, aiul can only lie sustained, by this accursed system. Sir, if weal'll were the highest good of A nation, utul pecuniary profit the only standard by which ;i wise policy could lie measured, it would even ♦lieu be morn than questionable, huw far cnee. These states have the same de votion to the Union, the same contemptu ous iiatied to usurped power, tho saute rule of constitutional construction,and the sumo d0termination, when submission is no longer, compatible with honor or inter est, to iouiie resistance a duly. IT Geor gia were put upon milking out a bill of ex ceptions to Carolina Politics, site would no doubt lettdee to Iter the internal improve-1 least frien meat! — —_ . . iii llte course this st.tte has pursued, tela live to the process of tho supremo court whose object was to bring to tlio bar'of that tribunal, one of tho original sover eign lltntoen; and then to revoke the decision of our staio'cnuit, upon aqueiliqo qf criminal law* arising under, oar own salutary provisions. Iu that instance,the state,'poising herself upon her original, undeiegated,nnd unprohibited sovereignly, declared llte law under which tho court claimed jurisdiction, unconstitutional, in structed her authorities to resist .any ami all processes or mandates having for tills object an interference in. her criminal ju risdiction ; commanded tlio rigid enforce ment of Iter judicial decrees, and in sad and solemn dignity nu'ritcd the cohse-, _ . qltonce, whether peaceable, or otherwjse. j - ho effect of Iter theory in its practical 10- Tliis is Guorgiu Nullification.

In tottling this last question, she must calculate the value of the Union. If site acts wisely she will calculate its value.
