The public lands wore coeded by the States,
subsequently acquired by the U. States, for thul
common benefit, and alicr the ^jIb of tho banlJ
stock, will be tjie onltj source, from which the Gen-J
cral Government can derive a revenue independent
of taxation. It would therefore seem to be a.unri
policy, to continue to guard it with the muai scruj
pulous care.
Another resolution emanating from the samol
source, and proposes a distribution of the pro-1
ceeds of all the public lands, to the States;
Territories, for the purposes of education.
Your Committee aro unable to discover upo.il

The “peculiar scope,” which it has been said J

State of Georgia does not concur with the Uen-j

commending a change in the made of disposing!

,’b 11 r« :* i uciiotis of her serve* the Union; and with a distinct declaration that
hrunce, for sui'ii lb- il is a c.uiceisioii on our part, we will consent that the
same rate *>f duty may he imposed upon the protect
ed ai titles that shall be imposed upon the unprotect
ed, provided that no more revenue he raised than is
necessary to meet the demands of the Government
for (’ori-tilutional purposes, and provided also, lliat a
.Inly, suh-tantiully uniform, bo imposed upou all for
eign imports.
It is obvious, 1 hat even under tl.is arrangement, the
manufacturing Stales would have a decided advan
tage over the planting Stales. For it is demonstrably
evident lliat, as communities, the manufacturing
Slates would bear no part of the burthens of Federal
Taxation, so fa** as the revenue should he derived
Irmn protected articles. The earnestness with which
tlieir representatives seek to increase the duties on
these articles, is conclusive proof that those duties are
homilies, nu.l not burthens, to their constituents. As
alleast two thirds of the federal revenue wuld be
raised from protected articles, under the proposed
modification of the Tariff’, the manufacturing States
i-ipal of
. id.'iifi-
tru- would be entirely exempted from all participation in
• hat proportion ot tlie public burthens.
Under tliese ciicumstanccs we cannot permit our
selves 10 believe for a moment, that in a crisis marked
by such portentous and fearful omens, those Htates
can hesitate in acceding to Ibis arrangement, when they
perceive that it will lie the means, and possibly the on
ly means of restoring the broken harmony of this
great! confab rm:y. They most assuredly have the
strongest of human inducements, aside Irpm all con
siderations nf justice, to adjust this controversy
without pushing it to extremities. This can he ac-
cnmpli.-Jicd only by the proposed modification of the
illation in Tariff* or by the call of a general Convention of all
tl inter.'-t.-' ol (he Slates. If S.futli Carolina should he driven out
of the Union, all the other Flauting States, ami some
of the Western States, would follow by nil almost ab
solute ue.'f--it v. Can it he believed that GeorgirfJ
.Mi-'i. sippi. Tennessee A-even Kentucky, would con-
** poll**

uemg united to them when they could receive all
their supplies through the ports of South Carolinn,
