ANALYSIS OF PROCEEDINGS.
In the Senate, yesterday, » Message
wax received from tho Piesitiant »»f ttie
United S aies, commtmiciiing 'copies of
the orders issued to the commander* of
the Military and Naval forces of the Uni
ted States, sta ioned in and noarCharles
jon, Sou'h Carolina. Titese papers were
aumbeted from 1 to 17 inclusive.
Mr. Forsyth called l*r the reading.
Several of them were accordingly read.
When
Mr. Grundy said, (ho Senate had lietnd
enough of these papers, to enable (hem to
judge of their chaiacier* for the purpose
of saving time,he moved the futiher read
iag be dispensed with, which was ag earl
to. The message and .papers were laid
on the table, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Benton, on leave, introduced a
filial resolution, changing the time of the
election of the printer or printers to Con
gress, from the end of tho going out of
to the first week of the session
s ot the new Congress, was read the firs',
time, and ordered to a second reading.
Mr. Clay suit! he had, on (he prucedir,t
day given notice that he should ask loav*-
to offer to the consideration of the Semite,
a bill to modify the act of ihc 14 h July.
1832, and the other acts of Congress ini
posing duties on iinpfci is— and that with
per mission of the Senate, he would make
•onto explanation of its provisions, in.
taking this step he had no personal views
to gratify—-his course had been exclusive
ly governed by a deep sense of the duty
which lie owed the country, in its pres
ent distracted condition. W ten he sur
veyed the face of tho eoun ry, evidence
•of tho highest degree of prosperity was
wvery where to be saca—and yei through
out ns whole wide-spread extent, grea
dissentions and divisions of opinion pte-
V-riled. In intioducing the proposed motr
tire to the House, tie bad two great objec. -
in view. The first related to the TariH
policy. He would expiess tho opiuiot
which had not been hastily formed, ilia
the policy of pro eciiou was in (lie tn;>»
imminent daeger. If it should be pre
served for the present session, it m.tsi in
evitable fall a the next session of Con
:gr<e«s. The c iutes which had produced
4bis s-tate of probability he would not now
go into. He was fully satisfied that the
<**is iag tariff could nut be preset vet!
•hot by the application of forcible metis
-lire*. Recourse t<> such a policy coaid
Hot fail to be attended hv the most calam
itous consequences. When he looked
lo .the vast extent and importance of the
interests protected by the Tariff policy,'
be could iioi contemplate its sudden over
throw without .terror. History furnished
no example of such ruin and destruction
as wmild be brought upon the country,
by a sudden repeal of ihe protective svs
{•Mil. The revocation of the Edict of
Nuntz was nothing to il. The compla nt»
which now divide and distract the Amer-
Can people are on tho one hard, that they
are ground down by a system af unjust
taxation which paralyzed their industry
—on the o’her, that the vacillating, vibra
ting policy of Congress in relation to the
protection of our uwq products, ass >rdii»g
no certain means of calculation. Before
A law bad gone into operation—a law.
100, passed with extraordinary research
and deliberation, it i> now to be repealed
before its opeiatiun ha« been tested by a
oy experience < f il« provisions. Fur the
purpose of taking uvvay the occasion of
these complaints on the one side and the
other, he had sought for some principle
•of mutual accommodation, which might
be satufzciory to b >lh parties—to afford',
on the one hand, the assurance that the
rates of duty should at a future day be
brought down to a bate revenue standard
—and to promise on the other, sta6i/ity
and permanency to our policy. The ba
sis upon which the principle of accommo
dation, which he should propose, was
founded, was time. The extent of time
which would form the ingredient of ;he
Jjill, WHS bng Compared with human life
—but it was short—very short, in refer
ence to the measures of a wise govern
ment. With these preliminary remarks,
he would beg leave to call the attention
of the Senate to the provisions of the
proposed bill.
By the Ist section, it wis provided
that in all cases where the duties impos
ed by the act of the 14ih Julv’ 1832, or
any other act which should be infoice af
ter that act went into operation should
exceed 20 per cent, the amount of that
excess shall he gradually be reduced by
deducting one tenth on the 30ih Sept.
1833—'one tenth on the 30th Sept. 1835;
one ( tenth on 30th Sept. 1837—«oe
tent|i on the 30th September 1839—one
half of all that" remains exceeding 20 per
.cent, to be taken off on the 80 b Septem
ber, 1841, add the other half on the 30th
all articles whatever, on which a greater
rate of duty is now imposed than 20 per
cent, after the expiratiou of nine years
and a half, at that rate of duty.
Mr. C. illustrates the operation of
i’his principle by staling its effects upon
oolens, which, by the aci of the 14th
July, were subjected to a duty of 50 per
cent. Tl e excess subject to a gradual
reduction is 30 per cent. This would be
rr-d iced by tenths, biennially until 1839,
W:ii*ti the duty would be 93 per cent—<>f
this 9 per ci nt being mie half the exvi s
Il be taken i ffiu >lß4l, and 9 per c l .
more the other half, m-1842. leaving tho
permanent duty 20perct. afterwards.
By the 2d section of the (imposed bill,
it is provided that su much of the act of
14 li of July as fixes the rate'of duly upon
plain kerseys and Kendal Cottons at 5
per cent should be repealed, and these
articles subject to the same rate of duty
with other woollen -goods. It-would bo
recollected these at tides were sepermed
from the mass of wouHen tnanufactuies as
being peculiarly l b<Mrtiensome to tiie
South, in order to proeme a feeling of
acquiescence in die other provisions of
hat law. As (his discrimination had failed
of producing that r'fTect, they should be
pi teed with the other Woollen manufac
. 'os, and be subjected to the same scale
of reduction.
By the 3d section it is provided that
the prosent mode of payment of-duties
shall he continued until the 30 h Septem
lx r, -1842. Aler that period all duties
shall -be paid in ready money, and the
whole credit system abol shed.
By die 4tii s- dio* it is proposed to be
that iti addition to the liti of ar
licles exempted ft ont dHy by tie act t f
14i!i July, the follow iog to bo added—
bleached and unbleached linens, silks im
ported from couiitries this side the Cape
of G »od Hope, worsted stuff goods
siiawts, and all o'her manufactures of silk
and worsted. This provision had 'been
introduced for the pnrposo of guarding a
gainst any accumulation of surplus reve
nue. If tho land bill which bad passed
the Senate, and the gradual reduction of
duties i). rposed by this be carried into es
feet, the p. eseut Cougrevs will have sei
'fo'l two if not t ; ree of the most aerating
questions which have ever convulsed the
Coun ry. Tin revenue which might be
received into tii T easury beyond the
i'litn diate v ants of tho G venimem,
bef«ue the rate o' dudes camo to its min
imum in 1842, would be sufficient to
finish the works already commenced.
110 had been g eatly astonished by the
disclosure of the process by which the
Secretary of the Tteasury proposed to
keep the revenue down to the wants of
tho Gover mire ut. Tii a i officer had sup
(> serllhita eduction of die r..ies .<f duty
would reduce th» revenue in the same
prop" tion. If »heie w>s any itutb in
protciplas of | oli ic tl economy, titis wou’d
nos bo the result. Ilwis ani xm, thu
cjosomption acrensed in proportion to
th reduction of price.—The duly com
poses n part of h- p ice. If the doty is
reduced, the c nsuinp o:i is increased,
ind n! Court.? h ;ve amount of rev
etiueisaLo ocreased. This was proba
hlv not ts- desire a( the Secretary. But
he inns' be permuted t= siy, that iheq>l:nf
Inf had tjepij elsewhere jneseriied for
1,0 reduction of the Tariff, was ttie most
r fu ly and' 1 vised sciieni'' that could be iin
agined. It assumed a certain basis for
tho future expenditure ut the goveru
m tn.', which was absolutely impossible to
fix with any degree «>f ceriainijy. He
w mid proceed to the oihor provision of
thu ut.i, alter briefly exphuianing the
ground o-l <be proposed discriminatinn
he»wee;itho silks »f Cliina and those of
I'iance. Its object waste encoutage
uni- commerce with that power which had
become one of the most important cus
turners for our great Southern staple.
The consumption of cotton .from the
South in t ranee, had tiipled within four
teen yoars—and it was generally under
stood that without a discrimination in ■
their f»vnT,jthe low priced silks of France
could not meet those of China in the
market* .
By ih« stli se tion of the proposed
bill, it was provided that after the 30 h
September, 1842, raw cotton, indigo,
quicksilver, o|>ium, and a great variety of
drugs, and sot ill article* used principally
in manufactures, may be imported fee
from doty.
Tite sixth and last section of the pro
posed bill, repeals so much of the net of
I,4th J dy, 1832. and of all other laws, as
are inconsistent with its provisions.
M•. Chy then went into an elaborate
argument, in defence of die provisions of
his proposed bill, in anticipation of the
objections which might be tuged against it
by the friends of tho protective system.
He contended at length that it did not
yield the principle.of protection, but on
ly proposed a forbearance of its exercise.
He for one was willing to sacrifice every
tiling to peace and union. The State of
South Carolina was engaged in making
experiments, fog tho purpose of ascertain
ing whether she could not disable the
Gen. Government from executing its laws
within her limits. That was special
pleading business utterly unworthy of her.
It was impossible for her citizens, ingen
ins as they undoubtedly weie, to devise
laws which could not be countervailed by
the Gon. Government. If she should
put her threats of se-cession from the Un
ion in to execution, what would be her
si'uation ! She has a population of about
half a million of souls—of what descrip
tion a large part of ibis population was,
he would not enquire. For her protec
tion, she must maintain fleets, armies for
eign ambassadors, and all the expensive
establishment of an independent nation.
How they are to be maintained ? Will
she not be competed ro impose a tariff
infinitely more onerous upon her citizens
than the present ? What will be the con
dition of a great portion of the property
of that State—which now alone gives ef
ficiency to her resources—and the value
of which is governed by the price it bears
in the South Western States? It would
immediately lose a great portion of its
value, if no worse consequences resulted.
The failure of that State in her present
schemes, was inevitable. Bat however
misguided and rash her conduct bad been
he was unwilling to disgrace her. H
could not forget ihut her citizens vilian '
fought side by -ide with those of the
ther Stales io those battles which had su*
cured ihe glory and independence of ii
nation. Alt. C. concluded by nv>vl
for leave to introduce the bill modif-.’
theiprovisiens of the act of July 14th,
1332,and all oilier acts imposing duties
un imports.
Mr. Culhouu, said ho entirely approv
ed of the objoct of the bill proposed bv
the Seiißtor from K -'iitucky [Mr. Clay •]
Every man who laved the Union must
ardently desiie to see ibis distracting
ques i.»n terminated. Until thi-i tvas
doue,there never could be peace and
harmony among its several members. He
verily believed that the present degraded
political condition of the country «as
principally owing to the discord which
had arisen out n! this subject. Tho prin
ciple upon which the proposed bill was
based, met his eutiio approbation. II
the tariff was ever adjusted, it could only
be bv giving time upon the one side: and
Cnmmg down to a general system of at and
valoiem duties on the other. F<r him
self he would say that he occupied a po
sition as hostile to the protecfive system
as any man in Asnerca—but he would
never agree to the passage of any bill
which would destroy the capital and skill
which had grown up under fit in the Nor
thern States. At last we must come
down to the system of ad valorem duties-,
but hoped nor so suddenly as to impair
the value of the vast amount of skill and
capital now engaged in manufactures. It
would not be in order to avert to the do
tails of the bill; but he Would repeat that
its genoral principle met his entire ap
probation, and under it, he hoped this
vexed question would be settled furev

mostly used for dyeing and manufacturing
purposes.
Low prices Plains, Kerseys; &c. are
from 30th Sept, next, to pay like other
woolens, 50 per cent ad v. and like them
subject to a gradual reduction t:< 20 per

with exceptions enumerated in Mr. Clay’s
bill, are to pay 20 pei ct. ad val. after

may be secured at 3 and 6 n»r>. credit, af
ter which duties must he paid in cash.
Tiieie is one difficulty for which this bill
does not provide, and that is how the
gradual reduction is to operate on goods
paying a specific duty, such as sugar,salt,
spirits, &c. articles which are subject to
a rapid waste on the voyage of imports
tiorr, and henco have always been subject
to a specific duty on the quantity actual

It is worthy of remark, that on the

in the House, so modified the instructions
propsed by him the day before,to be sent
to the Committee of Ways and Meuus,
as to render them very nearly similar iu

th* Committee of Weys & Meant should
be|directed to report a bill reducting the
duties 5 per cent, anmially, if ad valorem
and 10 per cem if not, until they should
come down to 20 per cent.j and then, if
the revenue should be fuuod deficient,the
duties be raised 5 per cent, on protected
and 10 per cent, on unprotected articles,
until the tevenoe should be suited to the
wants of the Government.

“ Livrcae 01. Jan. 4.
The woket lia* been will aminleil by llie
trade this week, and an improved demaiid for
cotton hag been experienced, particularly since
the stock was announced. American descrip
tions have been much sought after, and Ito.'lcis
being less anxious to effect sales, have succeeded
in obtaining an advance upon last Friday’s pi i
ces, of Tally 18 per lb. sot all kinds, except toe
best qualities of Uplands, which remain station
ary. Sea Islands have been in fair request, but
prices are rather lower. Bsa«ilg have had rath
er more attention this week, amt all <ie*ripljons
hav ; uret a more ready sale than previously, al
though Pernams are stir. Ireavy iu the ar&rker
Egyptians go off steadily, and prices have a ten
deucy to improve. There lias been a good da.
■nari.l for Surats this week, and the sales ate
considerable, at steady prices, our quotations
l>eing now nearly upon a par with what they
were previous to the late public sale. 1500 bags
Sea Islands are declared lor public sale on t ri
day next the 1 ltl> iust.”

There is certainly every thing to give us con
fidence in cotton at moderate prices; indeed
the market has recovered fully 1 Bd. per lb. since
the stock was Announced. The stock of -ea Isl

good deal more than was expected. The public
sales of Sea Island next week will tell the nisi

Charleston. 'lt is highly important in every as

Peace nt home and abroad, then, is tiie glad ti

The Report of the Judiciary Committee,‘in
the House, witli which tho Nullificrs weie sa
highly pleased, did not teceire the approbation
of the bare majority of the Committee that made
it. ft was tneiely acquiesced in that tome ic
port might be made, Messrs Coulter and Dan
iel ore alone responsible for it. All this was sta.
ted in debate without contradiction.
The proposition to sell Ihe government stork
in Ihe U. Stales Bank was promptly rejected in
the House of Representatives, on the 13th bv a
-majority of 11 votes.
Mr Webster on tlie 13ih moved a set ofßes

‘ 4t fteems to lie now Cully imdeistood that the
■ evolution which has so suddenly been brought
about in Congress, is the result of tevetal c« n-
I r-nces betiveen Mr. Clay utul Mr. Calhoun.—
1 her finally agreed on 'be genera) principles of
the bill winch Mr. Clay intr.tducr and today, and
separated only on some of the details It is be
lieved ili.it there wid be ur> difficulty in reconcil
ing these differences so as t# tiling lie S. uilurit
men and the friends . f Mr. I lay—l mean the
personal friends—tn unite rn support of the bill.
But the supporters ol Mr. Clay, who ate also
thorough going 1 ai iff inert, will not go with this
new measure, unless Jhey chantre considerably
in their determination! To-day there is a brg»
class of these who ate extremely diggati-fii-d,
and who ate as ready to charge Mr Clay with
bargaining awry the Tariff and is friends with
Mr. Calhoun, ns Minis once were to aci use Mr.
Clay of mak iig a bargain with Mr. Adorns. It
is difficult, in (be ptesenl misty slate of the polit
ical atmosphere, to tell exactly where the land
lies Mr. Clay himself, I find, thinks that the
step lie has taken is one the policy of which as
respects his own staudiug, aud the rff.cts of
which as telutes to ihe condition of the South,
and the course of the E tsf. are yet to be learnr and
from experience, it being impossible to form, at
this moment,.any accurate conjecture as to tl
ther. Tire debate to-day was interesting. Tbe
Senate Clium'er was crowd, and excessively in ev
ery part, and the anlitois could not be kept
within the bounds of decorum
Whether they were Souther -a men or manufac
turers, I know not. hut tbere was a general dap
ping of hands once or twice, and the President
ordered the gallaries to be cleared; but subse
quently retracted the order «a the recommen
dalian of one or two of the m rn’iers. Mr For
syth objected so grr-.nimg the leave askad by Mr
('lay to introduce his bill. He said that it wa*
pe< uliat-ly fitting that a measure of concession
should ec-me from one t« whom was •to be attri
bu'ed all the discord which now distracts the
country, Mr. Webster exhibited symptoms of
oppuguation on this occasion, whence it is infer
red that there will be a split in the old Clay par
ty. arid that Ike ultra Tariff will form as a se
parate legion, and choose anew leader. You
will perceive by the paper*, that the u arrin?
hosts in the House of Hi preaentatives folded
their arm*, and looked on while l-isscene, which
is to fix the destiny of the country, was exhibit
ed on the floor of the Senate. Every debate
languishes' '1 his is now the absorbing question,
which ha* swallowed op the wonderful pungen
cy of the Judiciary Committee. We wait im
patiently for the lesult.”
