too, Mr. G. said. Every body knew it to be' mors of contentions and hostile feelings, wlncn

What is it, said Mr. G-, that we wish not to be concession, not extorted by her menacing attt-
eommunicated? Only that the names ofpri-[ tude, Iter marshalling of troops, and trumpeting
vate individuals, if any sucii arc connected with forth of proclamations, but yielded to.lici out o
the information in possession of the president, our abundant love for her as a sister, and ivoir
mav not be exposed. There was no necessity a spirit of conciliation, and a sense of the de*‘p
for any such disclosure. Whatev
utive bad done, lie would communicate; and 1
why he had done it.
It was merely to prevent private individuals
from being compromitted, that Mr. C. wished
to limit this call. W r ns not party excitement
already high enough in South Carolina! W r as
it not already high enough throughout the na
tion! Did gentlemen want to add fuel to the
flame; If they did, Mr. G. said he was opposed
toil. He would rather see peace and good will
and harmony prevail, than by-any act or vote
of his increase the .discord:
Air. Callmnn here apologizing for interrupt
ing Air. Grundy, suggested that it would per
haps save him some time to apprize him that
the mover of the resolution was not present in
tbd Senate at lliis time.
Air. Grundy said he should soon finish what
jittle he had to say, when the resolution might
belaid over till the mover was present'. He
wished that the resolution, without being the
means of any unnecessary excitement, should
be promptly- acted upon, because lie believed
that it would elicit information which would
go in a great degree to allay; the public feelingi
and to remove groundless apprehensions; that
it would indeed abate rather than increase the
existing excitement in the South.
The Senator from South Carolina, had
seemed vesierdv to intimate that the infohna-
was no necessity a spirit 01 coucmauuu, w. 1
Mover the Exec- .and enduring obligation which wo feel topre-
nmunicate; and) serve tne integrity ol this hallowed Union.
WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 12.
Mr. Clay said he had, oh the proceeding day
given notice that he should ask leave to offer to
the consideration of the Senate, a bjll to modi
fy the act of the 14th July, 1832, and the other
acts of Congress ihiposing duties on imports—
ail d,that with permission of the Senate, he would
make some explanation of its provisions. In
taking this step, he had no personal views to
gratify—his course had been exclusively gov
erned by ti deep sense of the duty winch he
owed the ebuntry, in its present distracted, con
dition. When, he surveyed the face of the coun
try, evidence of the highest degree of prosperi
ty was every where to be seen—and yet through
out its whole wide-spread extent; gheat dissen-
tions and divisions of opuitou. prevailed. In in
troducing the proposed measure to the House,
he had two great objects in view. Th«* first re
lated to the Tariff policy. He would express
the opinion which.had not been hastily .termed,
that the policy of protection was in the most
imminent danger. If it should he preserved
for pie present session, it must inevitably fall at
the next Session of Congress: The -eauses
which had produced this itate of probability »e
would not noiV go into! Ho was fully satisfied
that the existing-tariff could not be prescribed.
not see in this proposition brought forward at
iiiis time, and under such circumstances the el-
ments of success.—It was too near the close
: the session to take up an original proposi
tion of this character in the Senate. In ms
view it would be better to wait the action ol the
ether House upon the bill now before them.
There was now but fourteen days ol the ses
sion. If the whole ol both houses were unani
mous in the wish of passing tnis bill, excepting
twenty members gifted with ordinary powets ol
lungs, they would have it intrieir power to pre
vent its becoming a law at tiiis si ssion. lie re
joiced at the proposition which had been made
by the Senator—-regarding-it, as lie did, as an
offering made by the manufacturing interest up
on the altar of peace and concord. 1 he other
party to the controversy might regard this bill
as either a projet. or011 ultimatum oi that inter-
but by the application of forcible measures.

example of such rain and .destruction as would
be brought upon the country by a - Sudden re
peal of the protective system. The revoca
tion of tb$ Edict of Nantz was nothing to it.
The complaiuts w^ich now divide and distract
the American people are on the one hand, that
'they are ground down by a system of unjust
taxation which paralyzed their industry—on
theodier, that the vacillating, vibrating policy
of Congress in relation to the protection of our
own products, ailordii.ig no certain means of
calculation. Before a laiV had gone into ope
ration—a law, too, passed with extraordinary
research and deliberation, it is now to be re
pealed before its operation has been tes}ed by
any experience of its provis ions. For the pur
pose of taking away the occasion of these com
plaiuts on the one side and ‘the other, lie had
sought for some principle of mutual accommo
dation, which might be satisfactory to both par
ties—;to afford, on the one hand, the assurance
that the fates.of duty should at a future day be
brought’ down' to a bare revenue standard—
and to promise on the otlter,- .stability and per
manency to our policy. The basis upon which
the principle of accommodation, which he should
propose, was founded, was time. r /’hc extent
of time which would form the ingredient of the
bill, was long compared with human life—but it
was short—very short, in reference to the
measures of a wish government. .With these
preliminary remarks, he would beg le&vc ta
call the attention of the Senate to the provis
ions of the proposed.hill.
[Here Air. C. briefly enumerated the pro
visions of the several sections of the bill.]
Air. Clay then went into an elaborate ar
gument, in defence of the provisions of his pro
posed bill; in anticipation of the objections
which might be urged against it by the friends
of tho (irotcciivc system. lie contended at

no earthly doubt of its final passage, unless it i from executing its laws within her limits. That
State must inevitably fail in those projects. It
was a special pleading business utterly unwor
thy o f her. It was impossible for her citizens,
ingcnious.as..they undoubtedly were, to devise
laws which could pot be countervailed by the
General Government: Ifslie should put her
threats of secession from the Union in exccu-
tio'n, what would be her situation! She lias a
population of about half a million of souls—ol
what description a lnrge part of this population
was,* he would iiQt. inquire. For her protec
tion, site must maintain fleets, armies, foreign
ambassadors, and all the expensive establish
ments of an independent nation. How are
they to bo maintained ? Will she not be com
pelled to impose a tariff (pfinite'y more onerous
upon her citizens than the present! What
will bo the condition of a great portion of the
property ofthat State—which now alone gives
efficiency 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, ifno worse con
sequence’s resulted." The failure of that State
in her present schemes, was inevitable. But
however misguided and rash her conduct had
beenf he was unwilling to disgrace her. He
could not forget that her citizens valiantly fought
side by side with those of the other Mates in
those battles which had secured the glory and
independence of the nation. Air. C. concluded
by moving for leave to introduce the hill modi

MILITARY ORDERS.
The Senate proceeded to consider the res

copies of all orders
Commanders at Charleston, &c.
Air. Grundy, remarking that a few moments
only of time remained before the hour at which
the special order was to he called, said, ..he
should be brief in what he.liatj to say in reply
to the rcinqrks made yesterday upotf the a-

and superstded'b-y the bill which Air. Clay is to

is a prodigious anxiety to hear the. explanation
on the subject, which Air.’ Clay has announced
it to be his intention to give. If may throw no
linn. I have only to say,, upon' that point,
said Air. G. that that inference can find no
foundation or support in ar.y remarks of mine.
I said nothing whatever to w<irrant it. No
thing that I say or know must be relied upon
as evidence of such facts as the gentleman

question, because to presume that her situation,

parties were arrayed against one another as
they are there, and a great excitf ment existed,
it was not to be presumed that every one would

mored reluctance to support that bill, are all the
result of these enterviews, If so,. aTc they to
be regretted ! Is it to he matter of reproach

that they have consented to burr political ani-

inadmissible by any well-regulated mind. But
I he had not intimated that the President had

dent had been known of thei i c before it was
known In re; hut lie had seen that rumor con
tradicted here by a paper entitled to as much
credit as the one which promulgated it, and he
had no belief in it.
It bud been said, that :he President could
withhold any information ho chose, without the
qualification proposed to be given to the reso
lution. That was very true, Air. G. said. It

The Chair stated the question on grantiii;
leax>».
Mr. Forsyth said the avowed object of tin
Senator wnuld undoubtedly meet with univer
sal approbation. In his opinion such a prop-
sition could not come mote appropriately Iron
any source whatever, for we were indebted t
none so much, for the universal discord «hi<-
prevailed throughout the country on this sub
ject. But a few months siffre, it had been in
the power of {fiat Senator, to have settled tin
agitating question forever. He would not now
go into any discussion of the details ol ihe pro
posed bill—it would not be in order. Ahi':oui
a jtroj
est. Whichever it might be considered, tho
best course would be to withhold leave for pre
senting it as an independent measure, and when
the bill now in the other House comes before
the Setrate, to move this as a substitute. It a-
ny desire existed to see this proposition carried,
this was the most effectual course. Besides, the
Senate; by the Constitution, had no power ot 0-
rh'inating hills for raising taxes; It he correct
ly understood one ot the sections ot tho pro
posed bill, it went to increase the duties on a
particular description of articles from 5 to 50
per cent. Such a proposition could only' orig
inate in the House of Representatives. Before
he sat down, lie might ho permitted, to say,
that the project; as a whole, did not, in his o-
pinion, go lur enough, considering that it was
brought forward, alter the admission*of the Sen
ator, that his favorite system had received its
irremediable wound. I nis Serpent which has
crept into our-Ed<-n, is now, according to the
statement oi" tho Senator, exposed in al) his na
tive deformity and loathsomeness, by the touch
of the spear of IllniHei. it was now admitted
by tlie great champion of what had been called
the American System, that the principle of rev
enue alone, in the imposition of duties, was
correct. As to, ruin to manufacturers, no one
desired to sec it. But the claims of such as
hail combined together lor tho .purpose ol'effec
ting unlawful purposes, couid not bo recognized.
Believing that the Senate had no power to orig
inate a bill containing the provision he fiad uL-
ludeil to, and that the object migut be bettor cl-
fected by moving it as an amendment to the
hill in the House, I10 l’clt compelled t<> op'pose
tile motion for leave; he would withdraw his
opposition if the Scuatorivouldstirikc the prop
osition for increasing the duty upon a certain
class of articles, from the bill.
Air. Smith said, by the practice pf the Senate
bills had been usually permitted to he introdu
ced and printed for the information ot members
Tiiis was not regarded as approving the princi
ples contained iit them, either as to expediency
or constitutionality;. He should not oppose
the introduction di" tiiis bill, though it was pro
tection from one end to the other. He was not
willing to go beyond four years in the reduction
of duties to the lowest point-r-20 ; per.cent. was
too low. lie would he satisfied with 25 per cent,
after the end of four years.—liis experience oi
protective measures of this kind, had not been
fortunate. When he had been once cheated,
lie was unwilling to expose himself io the same
snare. In 181G it had been proposed to con
tinue protection for three years only ; 1618 it
was proposed to extend it to I81G; Before that
period arrived, the bill of 182-4 came. When
the bill of 1828 was passed, all that was asked of
its friend^ was to insert the true object and de
sign of the? .hill in it,s title, in order that the ques
tion of constitutionality might be brought be
fore the Supreme,C.ourt. This was refused.
As to the proposed hill,,there.could he no as
surance that the scheme would ho permittod to
go through. The time was altogether too long.
Four years was quite long enough to [iring the
duties down to the revenue standard.
Air. Holmes said, this was a mere question of
leave to introduce a bill—it was the first time he
had ever, known it denied—it was a case of or-
dinary courtesy. Ifleave to introduce a meas
ure of this kind—introduced on the principle Ol
conciliation was to be refused—he should wish
lie had resigned his seat in obedience to the de
mand of those, who called themselves his con
stituents, before it had happened.
Air. Forsyth said; if tho Senator from Ken
tucky, [Mr. Clay,] had not explained tho pro
visions of the bill, he should not have objected
to its introduction. But, as its provisions as
tet forilt by the mover, appeared to be such as
could not constitutionally originate in the Sen
ate, lie could not assent to the violation of that
Constitution which he had sworn to support.
As he had.before stated, he would most cheer
fully withdraw • his objection, if the provision
in question was struck from the biil.
Air. Poindexter sttid lie should give his votc_
in favor of leave to introduce the bill. We had
arrived at a most .singular state of tilings.—
Here were gentlemen loudly' denouncing all ta
riffs—who wore vef perfectly willing to vote
fleets and armies l’qr'enforcing them. The ol
ive branch of peace had been offered by tho pat
riotic Senator from Kentucky—shall we .refuse !
him leave to introduce it, because forsooth the \
bill which contains it must, like most other bills •
be amended? If one of its provisions could i
not constitutionally he adopted here, is it worse j
than a precious hill now under discussion which i
violates the Constitution from beginning to end I
and ought to he kicked out of the Senate? lie !
hoped the proposed hill, which looks to a state i
o’f peace and concord, will be heard. The j
Senator from Kentucky had his thanks for pro- |
posing it. He regarded it as a more salutary |
panacea for the disord. rs which now pervaded,
the nation, than gunpowder, bails and cannon.
He was willing to accede to any proposition
which approached towards conciliation, rati.er
titan clothe the Executive with the whole phys
ical force of the nation.
Mr. Spiague would.not undertake to sav tvheth
erhe should he able to support the biil ptoposed by
die Senator from Kentucky or not. The que>-
ion before the Senate was whether its provisions
iiould l»e ex-iininpd.— lie was willing to do this,
ud regretted that a proposition of peace tu d been
eeeived with sarcasm by the Senator from Geor-
. in.
Mr. ('lay rose,hot gave way to
Mr. Forsyth, who would not make so ill a re
urn to file courtesy ol the Senator, as Ur detain
lie Senate more than a moment or two. He had
een so unfortunate as to draw upon him-;elf the
re of the opposite side of the Senate. The par
ies who had waged the most violent war a:
portions of tliem met itis approbation, he con;H T-ach other, had suddenly turned their fore>?4 upon
him. U» had been told that he had received a
proposiJi'iti of peace with sarcasm." It v.as a
complii’leut to the Senator front Kentucky, [M r
Clay,]: to say that gentleman stood at tho
head of the champions of the policy of protection
that ww bis proudest boast, lie could not be ac
cused of sarcasm, for alluding to tv hut was re
garded by that Senator and his friends as consti-
•tutingj)j» strongest claim to the gratitude of his
country. Tho Senator from Miss. [.Mr. Poindex
ter,] had referred to air thcr measure before ih 0
Senate. Atu proper time he trusted to be able
to defend tho vote he should give Upon the bill
all he would now say was that the bill referred to
proposed the only mode that could lie adopted for
preventing the citizens of the State,of S. Carolina
Ir on butchering otic another. Iii saying tiii.-. ho
only .expressed the universal opinion, so far ns he
was informed, of all tho moderate and intelligent
eitizeus of the Southern State":.
Mr. Clay said flint whether the Senator from
Georgia intended his remarks .as a compliment or
sarcasm was equally indifferent to him, when he
had so great an object if\ view as the peace and
harmony of the Union. But ho felt bound to dis
abuse that gcutlemaU and the Senate as to his
suggestion that the measure he had proposed had
come from theorrkmifacturiug interest. Had ho
lhtened to them, the proposition would not have
been made. As to constitutional objection rais
ed by the geiitlcmen, the bill proposed from I'erin*
ning to end, to reduce the duties. He did not think
the Constitution could be fairly interpreted so as
to interdict the introduction of a bill modifyiuir a
clau e of au act which h.ul not yet gone into op
eration,
.Mr. Calhoun said he entirely approved of the
object of the bid proposed by the Senator front
Kentucky [Mr. Clay.] Every mail w ho loved
: the Union must ardently desire to' ^de'this distract
ing question terminated. Until" thi- vriis douq,
' there never could he pence at.d hnruicuy atnoiih
its several members. He verily believed that th„
pre-out degraded political condition of the
country was principally owing to discord with
i haa arisen out, of this subject. The principle upon
j which the proposed bill was bussed, mr-t his entire
! approbation. If the Tariff was ever adjusted, it
j could oiflyhe by gi.-iug time upon the one side;
j ami coining down to a genera! system of adva-
lorem duties on the other. For himself he xvculj
say that bo occupied a position as hostile to the
protective system as any man iii America—
but he would-never agree to the passage of
any bill which would destroy the capital
and skill which had groxvii up under it in
the Northern .2 tates. At last we must come down
to the r-ys'em of ad vx.lorcm‘dntics; but he hoped
not so suddenly as towmpair tho v-duc of die vast
amount of skill and capital, now engaged iu man
ufactures. It would not be in order to advert tu
the details of the hill.; but he would repeat that its
j general principle n et Ills entire npprobaticu, and
1 under it, he hoped this vexed question would be
1 settled forever.
j ’Air. Dickerspn made some remarks upon the
; constitutional question, s to the power of the
i Semite to originate Liiis for raising revenue,
i He contended that the Senate did not posses*
; this power, whether the duties were increased
( by the biil or not. Raising revenue was a gen-
! oral" term, applicable to all bills by which taxes
! were imposed upon the people, and revenue
brought into the Treasury. All such Utils must
; exclusively originate in the House of Rcjn.-
Isentalhes.
1 '
Air. Webster said that, according to the j«r-
1 liamentaiy; usage, nothing but the title of ti*
bill was before the Senate. The question now
was, shall a bill to modify certain acts ol Cou-
I gross' be received! The object of the bill Rf»
I not stated in the title, and no objection as to the
j constitutionality ol its provisions could fcc taken 1
j until the measure w as in possession of the 6cih
ate.. He could not forbear making a remark 1
or two upon the principles cf the measure, as
j they had been explained hv the Senator fret: j
Kentucky; (Mr. Clay-), Considering the iff- ‘
I portance of the proposition—the sensation it
I would produce throughout the country—as“
the relation in which lie stood to it, he shw-M
ho pardoned for saying a few words ttpoafif,
though not strictly in order. He felt hom'd i;>
declare, lest his views might be misunderstood,
that great and substantial objections existed is
his mind, both to the principle and to the de
tails of tho pr. posed hill. It entirely surrdt* £
d.ered the power of imposing discriminatfl!
duties for the purpose of protection. In <iirc«
contradiction to the whole system of protectio
ns established by the uniform legislation
Congress, for a long series of years, it profffj
es that the present duties shall be reduced ata
