('Ji.ei Cravfocd, the chairma.i of the formet meeting, oung absent,) Hixks Iloi.r Was called to the chain and Ciuiuas I Pains, ai)|)oihied Secretary. Samuui Uucawcd »V> m the committee who had teen appointed for that purpose, ottered the following Report, which was read, considered, and adopted, viz s The commencement of our revolutionary struggle found the people of the Southern states pour in the means of defence—They, neverthe less,' engaged eagerly in the pending contest, 'and throughout the whole uf the struggle heir blood wus freely shed, and What little treasure •they hud was profusely spent. In the war ol 1812, they were found ranged under the banner of the constitution. Even many of those wh condemned the measures which led to the war, were among the foremost to aid in its prosecu Ion, and rescue the country from the perils by which she was surrounded. No section of the United States gave more signal examples of elevated feeling and patriotism. These circumstances in our past history con atitute sufficient ground for the cxpeoration.th t the interests of the South would receive from the government, which ->ur ancestors and our Selves had thus assisted to establish and sustan, an equal distribution of the benefits of its ad. - ministration. In most esses we have no cause for dissatisfaction The laws are administer,;, to us by the judicial tribunals of the Union, with as much promptness and partiality as to others. In evsas of invasion (with certain notable ex ceptions relating specially to Georgia we have been promptly and efficiently aided by the na tional resoinces. For these am) other reasons. We have ample cause to congratulate ourselves on our connection with the confederacy, which wt tiist will be perpetua’. But there are, in the history of the administration of the govern ment, matters, concerning our interest very n< nrly, ou of which arise just causes of diss.itis- fac'iom We have been denied an equal partici pation in the benefits flowing t om the disburse- jnentsofthe national treasure—We have beeii, in truth, and are yet tributary to the North ami West.—This state -f things hud its begi ming in the assumption at par, :>y the government, u - der the new constitution, of not only the revo. jut'onary debt of Hit confederation, but also that of the States, amounting to 80 millions of dol lars, after the evidences of these debts had been bnii -ht up by the people of the Northern states, at - most enormous discount. Here was the Creation at once ol a capital, which has ever since • operated to keep the people ot th«- South in tjm hack ground, in all the arrangements of th government, affecting the national debt. It has enabled'the North to come into the marlce>. whenever the government wanted money, on terms with which the South could not comp* te. The national debt has been increased—The S<rnh owns but a small part of the stuck thus created—The interest must be paid The peo pie of the South pay i heir proportion of the tax cs necessary to discharge it. But a small por tion of the taxes thus paid return to them—Tlv m oiey parses from their hands into the coffers of the national treasury, and thence d'rectlv into the pockets of the more fortunate citizens of the North, An inspection of the pension list will lead to th same conclusion. The people of the South ha ted with pleasure, the provisions made to ■sbothe the declining age of those who had fought and hied for the Nation's Independence. Ttiey contribute with* equal pleasure, iheir por tion of the funds requisite to enable the gov eminent to fulfil its obligations in this regard Thov know it passes from them never to return. Am. they are content it should so pass, as long as a pri>pcr and m artial application is nude Of it The case is now adverted to for the pur pose only of illustrating the difference ih the ke.anve situation of the North ami South. In all the establishments of the U. S. govern Blent, wherein large disbursements cf ihe na- tio al treasure are made, the North has decided ly the advantage of ns Ncw-Y rk boasts of the location of our military academy within her ter ritory. Li 1815. an attempt was made to have- two others established—one in the Somh and one in the West But the attempt was abortive. At the late session of Congress it wasde ermin erl to taken similar institution of a piivate indi vidual, under the patronage of the government, T hut in 1815, the solicitations of the South were rejected —in 1824 those of a private citizen of Vermont prevailed! Our national armories are all located on the same partial principles—We cannot point to one within our bounds, with the'exception of that of Harper’s Ferry s and even this, from its location more properly belongs to the North than to the South. Where are our Navy Yards f We can poin* to but a solitary one at New-Orleans, and this consists more in name than in essence. On our Whole coast from Orleans to Gosport, tho* it is the native region of live-oak, and is rich in the finest specimens of that invaluable material for Pa-al architecture—we look in vain for another That at Gosport can liar lly be said to belong to th- South. Leaving this point, we find in quick succession the establishments at Washington, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Charlestown, and Ports- tn nth, all kept up in the very best style; and operating as outlets to immense sums of the public revenue For ftorpe years past, the great question of in ternai improvement has been amply discussed th Congress. Tile result has been the partial Success * if its advocates By the present Con gress, an appropriation of £75,000 has been made for the improvement of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. I < addition to this, an act was parsed directing the President to employ the corps of Engineers in making surveys and estimates for national road9 and canals. In the very first movement that has been’made under this act, the eyes of the government had been tOrned to the West But four weeks bail elap sed after the passage of this act, when we find twenty-seven members of Congress jointly uig. ing the President to direct his attention to the improvement uf the Susquehanna,- and the Se cretary of War by the direction of the President ditiona up the MisStmri that .were undertaken some years ago f Midions yero ex k . n.ie-l ,-v hat project We nave reason for believi that liberal anti enlightened as the views of th government may luve been in Unit affair, > was pressed on its attention by the West, f - the purpose mainly of procuring the vita''Ur , ment of large sums of the public money in tl region west of the Allegany mountains.— M Clay has expatiated mm e than once on the gn importance of such disbursements to the peop of die West. I in the year 1807, a no'able instance dccnrrt of tin exhibition of the -pint, and views ot vb. Northern people hi reference to th- >ci uiatttjv \n act supplementary to an act, for fbvtityini the porta and lia-bora' of the United Mate* m for building gun-bouts, tune before the Sena . One of the Senators ot Georgia offered an metidment, having for its object, the equitabu distribution among the Mates, ot the sums to b«. expended under this act. He proposes that th< disbursements should be msde as follows: A New-Orleans, £6-/,0l)l>; within - die state * Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carotin £252,0U0; upon the Clu-sapeake and its water S 160,000 i within the Delaware ay and riv. t New Jersey and New-Ynrk, £300,000} withi • the states of Connecticut and Rhode-Island, £31,0001 within Massachusetts and N- Hamp shire, £135,UjO; and for places not enumerat ed, £62,0001 Such was the proposition. U was rejected, equitable as it appears to have been, the Northern and western members with one or two exceptions, voting in a body against it. - When the Bank of the U. S. was estab Iished, We were led to hope that it would , end.;, .>« idipvirtant service U> the whole population of the Union. It wa.» to oper ate as a sovereign remedy for all the evil- growing of out the de>anged condition of our local currency H ive these anticipa tions been realiz'd so lar as the people ol Mm Sciutli are concerned ? The Bank has its branches located among us} but instead if throwing its own bills into circulation, it carries on its operations by means of the bills .-four local institutions. We connot remit funds to the North without loss. Kx change Ins not been equalized, so far as tt affects u* ; and the signt of one of the Bills is, among the people of this section of the country, even inure rare than that of the gold and silver coin of the Union. It is not thus with the people ot the Nothern totes They have the benefit not only of the circulation of its bit s, and the conse quent equalization of exchange between the me different par's of their section of -the Union, hut they also receive the greatei p oportioo of Us dividends, while the peo ple of the South are left to struggle as they can with Mu.- losses they have to encounter from the partiality of its uppurations. These tacts ami observations are f.nnil- at- to every one who has been attentive to :he current events of the last forty years We have long felt their force. Some of be evils of which wo complain are perhaps necessarily incident to our situation, and therefore cannot be. remedied. This how ever does not deprive them of the charac ter we have assigned to them. Many of them we are assured, have their remedy. Y t we have patiently and quietly submit* ted to them indulging, in the mean lime, (he hope that the day "would come, when these things would be otherwise ordered- Neither \v >uld we now tnJulge in this ex pression of our views, were we assured that our condition would grow no worse. W e have cheerfully paid the exactions of our government wall knowing that what we thus paid, never relumed to us by the or dinary channels of circulation.. We have not looked to the disbur-ment ofihepublic money among us,as bringing with it the means uf increasing our enjoy- moots We have looked to other sources— to the oxertions of our own industry, and (he productions of our'agriculture fur Ihe means uf supplying the demands of neces sily, or the gratifications of luxury. T Hie-e sources we would continue to look, were we not satisfied that the secowty in *rhich they have been hitherto employ, it ib"Ut to be jeopardized. In the present condition of the world, it requires the de votion of all our attention *o industry and economy, toenablc us to fulfil the ordinary ibligatinns of social life. When, therefore, our government evinces s^lisposttin Intake f om us a part of our res urces, slender a>> they have become, & give it to others, hav ing already so decidedly the advantage f us ii becomes our duty to remonstrate. -Such a disposition we believe tohavebeen evinced in the strenuous support that was given to the Tariff bill at the late session of Congress. The supports of that bill not content with the advantages they already possess, and which they have enjoyed by prescription, wish to appropriate to them selves a part of the immediate pi ii .» of our labor. We must be taxed for the sup port of the government; and we must be further taxed for he support of the Nm - them ^’Western Manufacturers If under this new attempt to trespass on uur interest we remain silent, whathas been heretofore imposed on us by custom, and patiently submitted to on our pa* t, will, in the end, be claimed as a right. Resistance will then be vain, except by force, To prevent this result, so much 1qbe deprecated, the peo ple of the South must how take a decided stand. Our grounds must be broadly assu med, and fnmly but decorously mintamed. Reason, and ttie justice of out cause, are the weapons we propose te use; and the period has noW arrived wh'dn, with such weapons, the 8t:if»can be maintained with t.-y^the apuraenehs df <»uf pVpulnitoft^tV o ind foi- labor, and the consequent high iqe it commands—.the facilities ofprohu . ig Hte oe.cessBiies «f-life by the whole > ne-Mnployments of agriculture, nod the tiure of the neiv employment to which it proposed to subject a part of our p'opu* too—.tjie operation of the system on the •ter great inte-ests of the community—its "ieful effect on 'ho present system "of na oual finance, the consequent ncpeasily f a resort to internal taxation for the pur- sea of revenue; the evils which will re. It from the diversion of the industry of e Country from its wonted channels—the ignitude of the natural advantages ttlrea -t v enjoyed by our manufacturers, and the. .act that those of them who understand heir business do not want protection—the esult of the ample experiment that Bng- ind has made in the matter of commercial imbibition and restriction—a> d above all ' he total Want of power in Congress under the constitution to adopt such a system, and the manifest injustice; even if they had the power, of preventing a free people from purchasing their supplies ftp- domestic con sumption wherever and from whomsoever -ney can be purchased on the best terms— "leseare the considerations which influence is to deride against the '< American sys tem. as it has been called, # every thing relating tn it. Connected with this view of the subject there is one other considera tion which with us is entitled to very great weight. Suppose Congress were to levy a direct tax in our houses and our lands, col lect & pay it over to the Northern man ufacturer is a bounty, to enable him to fur nish us with articles which we cobid pro cure on better terms elsewhere—is it lobe expected we would tamely submit ? Y»*t 'lie advocates of the " American System” propose tn do this very thing in effect, though they endeavor so to manage it, as •o conceal the real nature of their design. The Second, relates to the new tariff as it was passed by Congress, and received the sanction of the Pieaident. \Ye took upon it ns being worse than useless to the skilful nd honest manufacturer. In some ins- snce-i, it will operatetoliis positive injury. Take the taxes on raw wool for an example —It is unequal to its operation, for that those articles are most heavily taxed, which are must extensively con -umed by the peo ple of theS-tuthern states.' It will increase 'he practice of smuggling, already gmwn to an enormous extent. The Secretary of the Treasury in his report of the 2rth Jatiu. ary, 18*20,says, that under the then exia- ting rates of duty, the practice of smuggling was gradually increasing. Under the in creased duties of this newacl, what evils may we not expect to gmw out of this prac tice and the total deprivation of principle; and the utter disregard of all mOml obliga tion that are incident to if. The act is viewed by some as being merely an act for the increase of the revenue. For this pur- pose it is exceedingly impolitic, inasmuch as it imposes additional taxes on the people to the amount of about three millions per annum, at a time when they are pressed to the earth, and struggling with their private embarrassments,—at a time when there is a surplus of six millions in the treasury, and when the P'esident has told us in his message thut the government does not want additional,revenue. From these views, after mature deliberation, the committee conceive it to be their duty to recommend tbe adoption of the following reso lutions: Retolveil, That we will hereafter insist on onr ripht to an equal participation of the benefits arising out < f the disbursement of the national treasury. r HesUvcd, That we view «ith decided disap probation, all attempts of one part of the com munity to procure forits own exclusive benefit, •he adoption by our jjovernmenp of a system of commercial prohibition and restriction Ueiufaed, That while we admit the power of Congress to regulate commerce, we view - with abhorence every attempt, under that power, to exercise, by implication, an additional one to impose duties on the importation of foreign ar ticles—not to regulate commerce or collect revenue, but for the avowed purpose of pro tecting our manufacturers, thereby laying hea vy burdens on one part of the community, for the exclusive benefit of a very small part of the same community;— for that we believe no part of the constitution admits of such a con struction, and that the exercise of such a pow- er for such a purpose, is unconstitutional. Resolved, That to render all such ‘attempts nugatory, as far as possible, we will rely on ouf own individual resources for the production of all such articles as are necestary for out domes tic < onsumption ; and when it becomes inilis- peiwible that we should purchase of others, we will, as far as it may be in our power, give a decided preference to the foreign fabrics, choos ing to pay the excess of price into the national treasury, rather than into the pocket of tho man- ulaeturing capitalist. Resolved, That we cannot look upon the new tariff', which is now the law of the land, as in tended for the increase of the revenue;—hut, u, vrur uy me airccuuu ui me i I'csiuetiL e , giving assurances that the improvement of this 8 ” 0Ur equitable result river had been already taken into consideration, ‘ ‘ L ‘ ‘ L and would in a short time receive ttie necessary attention. The South has hpr claims to at. tention set aside for the present, and it is ex- trcmely problems i*~al .judging from the past, whether, during the continuance of the act in puree, one effort will be made to confer on the South any of the benefits arising out ot the pas- j^eof it, tynp dogs nut recollect the expensive ejepe- tlian atat y time that may hereafter com<‘. The subject to which we have last adver ted, presents it*eif to us in two strongly objectionable points of view;; First—The Fa rill Bill wasjjrought before Congress for ; the express pm pose of prohibiting the im portation of foreign 'manufacture*, so tha* the prosperity of thedoinestic might be pro moted.
