Hu says, “in proceeding to fill up the blanks with the sum taxablo on each arti cle, it was soon perceived that gentlemen hud viewed the subject in very diffen-n lights. Tho tax on many articles was be lieved to press nioro heavily on some states than on others; and nppreheu- stons were expressed, thut, in the form of protecting duties, the industry o(one part of the Union would be encouraged by premiums charged on the labor of another purl.” (2 Vol. n. ed. 157. Now every one must perceive, that if ihe Congress had the right to lay duties to encourage manufactures, they certainly knew it must produco an inequality in the burthens ol the country, and they there fore would express no apprehensions a bout it, but, in attempting, on that occa sion, to aid that object incidentally, as no Mrs Reuben Lanier.

NORTON. j Dread Street. < they soon found, if carried to uny extent, tuxes, “ in the form of protecting duties,” would be to encoutnge the industry of one purt of the Union nt the expense of unoth' or; nnd if this effect would result from mere incidental encouragement, in the inline of sense, what would it not do wl.cn resolved into an open und direct system! What are the simple and sober infer ences to be dt'Hwn from these stubborn fnctsl Imugino for n moment that the constitution, instead of being a compact he;tveeu thirteen independent States, is tt contract between tiro individuals of equal rights, but, unfortunately, not of equal strength; und the sltongest should nsseit, nnd actually proceed to exercise all those powers previously discussed, well under stood between the parties, und finally re jected: does not every one believe that suclt an uct would constitute the very es sence of power in the naked sente of that term, and bespeak the presence of tyranny in its worst shape! If, then, under the strong convictions of injustice, and the still more distressing sense of oppression, the voice of complaint should he raised, who is there can deny to the sufferer this miserable privilege! But exhausting the sueing efficacy of supplication and remon- siruncc, und rising away from these weak er feelings, if the virtue of forbearance should be sunk into the stronger passion uf resentment, with all its ungovernable agitations, such as have sometimes fanned the dames of the most bitter discord, nnd should occasion a struggle to throw off at once the wrong and the oppressor, where is the spirit that could denounce, or even the prudence that would condemn such an effort at seif-redress? In speaking of the causes which led to the revolution a distinguished orator,* just Hfier its happy termination, brilliant ly observed: “ it was not the quantity of the tax, it was not the mode of appropri ation, but it was the right of demand, that was called in question. Upon this the peoplo deliberated; this they discussed in a cuol and dispnssiouale manner; and this they opposed, in every sli .pe that an art ful und systematic ministry could devise, for more than ten years before they as sumed the sword. This singlo circum stance, aside from the magnitude of the contest, will stamp a peculiar gtory on the American revolution, and mark it as a listincuished era in tho history of man- kinJ.” We are not only questioning the "right of the demand" but we have the peculiar aggravation of not only an intolerable “quantity” ol “foz,” but that tax is trans itu red from the bosom of our people, and “appropriated” in other countrios. Be fore I proceed to the comparison which it is my intention to make, it is nccAsury distinctly to state the exact principle in both cases, and thon show with what re markable fidelity the facts will sustain the analogy. The colonies were, as the States are now, independent of each o- liter; and Great Britain, the mother coun try .constituted their FE DERALIIEA D. To them, the mother country was, what iho General Government now is to tho States. The latter is our Federal head. Great Britain maintained that she had a right “to tax the colonies in all cases what ever.'' The colonies domed it, and con tended that she had only tho right lo tax them through the regulation of commerce as rcveuue, und for their benefit; thut such taxes could not bo taken and appliod to any odter purpose whatever; that no direct tax at all could be laid upon them without thoir consent, und then only for the use of the colonies, nnd to be granted by their own Legislatures. Tho General* Gov ernment maintains that she has a right to “ tax the State in all cases whatever.”— The States deny this right, and contend that it can only tax them, through the reg ulation of commerce, as revenue, for me singlo purpose alone of supporting the Government, und consequently fur their benefit generally and equally; ami that, 1 Joel Borlow as Great Britain could not tax the colo nies lo be spent on objects unconnected with their colonial condition, so the Gen eral Government cannot tax the State* lor the benefit of manufacturers, a distinct interest front that of the Government; in other words, it cannot take money, by way of luxation, from one portion of the States, to be spent in another, to support an individual interest different from that of the Union wherekll aro alike concern ed. Tho proposition is now fairly made. Let any superficial render examine the causes which led to tho revolution, end ho will find that the colonies, though as Stales they aro now greatly more op pressed in sorao quarters, yet then they flashed like lightning at the slightest inva sion of their rights. Great Britain in two huudred years, with all her power and ingenuity, und apparently with tenfold more right, was never able, in tlte inter- nnl regulation of the colonies, to drive tho first entering wedge into what they con sidered unconstitutional taxation; nor in that time did slit accomplish ' what the General Government lias done in the short space of eighteen years.' Various wore the acts, und at various times and under various states of feeling were they urged, to establish the principle that the mother country had the right “to bind the colonies in all cases whatever." The re sult of such an unnaturul and abhorcul ex periment must be fresh upon the recollec tion of every one, save, pet haps, the mis guided and infutuated rulers of the Gene ral Government. Long and ardent were their opposition against the attempts of the Btitisli Parliament to rivet upon them her port laws, navigation acts, admiralty regulation,s new modes of trial, of appoint ing officers, stamp acts, and tariffs for reg ulating thoir trade. Opinions, resulting from their oppressions, stimulated them to unmitigated resistance, which spread through America, wore intrepidly main tained against the usurpations of the mo ther country, and finally terminated in their acknowledged independence. 1 proceed to present the promised com parison, and I hazard nothing in saving I shall be able to show that tne sufferings of the south are not only similar to the colonies, but, in a very great degree, more intolerable. 1 hold in my hand the first tariff act that was ever passed by Great Britain, intended to operate against the colonies, for the double purpose of taxa tion and to restrain their trade with all nations except through their mother coun try. Tho act which 1 have just referred fo, and which is here ready to be seen, con tains eighteen different subjects upon which duties were laid, and they are upon all such articles as wero produced south of Capo Finisterre, because north of that point they wore prohibited to Hade, ex cept, as before stated, with the mother country, Those articles were such as Great Britain did not produce, such as coffee, indigo, wines, East India silks. East India calicoes, French linen, nnd cambrics imported through the mother country, pimento, sugar, and molasses, and, finally, the celebrated Stamp Act. This memorable act passed on thq 10th of March, 1764, and on the 20th of April t hereafter, just forty days, the General Assembly of New York raised their re monstrating voice, and immediately ap proved of a memorial, prepared by the morchnnt* of the city of New York, to be luid before Parliament, at the same time instuciing tho agent of the colony “to give all possible opposition to the continuance of said acl." Tho memorial was followed up by o- thur strong remonstrances from nearly all the other colonies, holding a language of the following character: “that an exemp tion from the burthen of ungrantod invol untary taxes, must be the grand principle of every free Statu. Without uch a right vested in themselvos, exclusive of all otlieis, there can' be no liberty, no happiness, no security; it is inseparable from every idea of property; for who can call that his own which may be taken a- way at the pleasure of another! No his tory can furnish an instance of a constitu tion to permit one part of a dominion to be taxed by another, and that, too, in ef fect, but by a branch of that other part.— And if such an absurd and unequal con stitution should be adopted, who, that con siders Ihe natural reluctance of mankind to burthens, and their inclination to cast them upon the shoulders of others, cannot foresee that, while tho people on ono side of the Atlantic enjoy an exemption from the load, those ou the other must submit to the most insupportable oppres sion and tyranny.” The committee thus far will begin to perceive the temper aud spirit of a people suddenly aroused to a sense of legislative oppression, and they may plainly discern a firmness in the as sertion of their injury worthyofaU praise. The colony of New York resolutely said to Parliament, “what can be more appar ent than that the State, tohieh exercises a sovereignty in commerce, can draw all the wealth of its colonies into its own stock1 Aud has not the whole trade of North America, that growing magazine of wealth, been, from the bsginning, di rected, restrained, and prohibited, at the sole pleasure of the Parliament! And whatever some may pretend, his Majes- * ly’s American subjects are far from a de sire to invade the jest rights of Oroat
