Fellow-Citizens:—In consequence of the near approach of the period when the payment of the public debt was anti cipated, it was naturally expected and de- sited, that the late Congress, beloro its adjournment, would revise and so modi fy the tariff act of 1828, as to reduce,con siderably, the amojint of the revenue which it provided for, find also the rate of the duties which were levied under it, up on the importation of protected articles. As early as January,]832, two resolutions of the House of Representatives directed the Secretary of the Treasury "to cojlect information as to certain manufactures in the United States, and to communicate the same to the Uouse, with such sugges tions as he might think useful; with a view to the adjustment of the tariff, and with •uch a tariff of duties or imports, as migh\ in his opinion, behest adapted to the ad vancement of the publio interests.” In the report made bv the Secretary of the Treasury in compliance with these resolu tions, he remarked, “that the impost sys tem of the United States has beeu for ma ny years, incidentally, but so intimately with the growth and protection of Amsri- can capital and lahor, as to have raised up great national interests indispensable to the prosperity of the country .and which cannot be lost sight of, in any new adjust ment of the system. In the circumstan ce which require, at present, a general reduction of the revenue, it is not deemed practicable to preserve, for any length of time, the degree of protectiou’hitheito af forded to these interests which have grown up under the past legislation. The state of feeling thro jghout an important por tion of the country, which with greater or less intensity, calls for n revision of the existing Tariff, is not to be disguised. Both patriotism and wisdom dictate that this sentiment should be respected, and as far as may be compatible with the com mon weal, that it be satisped, not from any unworthy motive, but under that obliga tion of ditty which requires that all be re garded with unequal eye; that all be borne upon with an equal hand; and under that no less solemn obligation, to preserve by any reasonable concessions, our inestima ble Union.” In the spirit of these senti ments, which rebound so much to the credit of the head and heart of the Secre tary, he prepared a bill for Congress,which witlr some alterations, would, in my judg ment, have 'been peculiarly adapted to meet the exigencies of the times. This bill was referred to the Committee on Ma nufactures of the House of Representa tives, who professed to make it the basis of a bill reported by them, which, after hav ing received various amendments, be canto* law on the 14th ol July, 1832. For the vote which was given bV m< upon the Huai passage of this bill, all thr newspapers, throughout tlte Stato, which are attached to the doctrines of Nullifica tion, have charged me with having sacrifi ced tho interests of my constituents, and with having acted, inconsistently, with o nininn* wtuch I had prc v io»«iy expressed Anxious that my fellow-citizens, whether they be my political friends or foes, should be m possession of the motives of my po litical conduct, in order that they may be enabled to determine whether l merit their Confidence, or havp justly exposed myself to their censure,* I will submit to them— the reasons that governed me upon the subject under consideration. The pro visions of the Tariff Act of 1832, are, by no means, such as I desired them to have been, but when they were under discus- siou before Congress, the problem for me MitSui)nn nf i|T* member* °f *h*t b A dy. *•! pot, 111 oiilinary circum»lauct»,'what a ta riff ought to be, nor in what manner it shonld be drawo, aoas to eatisfy the man ufacturers of the North, or the agticultu ralists of the Sooth—tho e*clu,ive friends of protection, on tho one hand, nr of fpc (ratio on the other—but whether any mid dle course could be derived, which would reconcile conflicting prejudice* nnd iuter ests—allay the fury raging iu tfie bosoms of rhe two groat tariff parties -into whioh the people were divided, dnd prevent that collision betweeu ’.hem, which might, oot only disturb the hannouy, but eadaugor the existence of the union. The difficulty of effecting this.arrange- ment, was probably greater than any which had ever been presentod to the delibera tions of Congress, ,ince tho adoption ol the Federal Constitution. Whilst a targe majority of tho people regard a ptotrrtive tariff to bo umuthorixed by the conctitn tion, a majority of them hare arrived at i diametrically opposite condusiFi. Ifulj those who were hostile too protective tar iff, pronoooced it to bo unconstitutional, xnd Hit thoee who were in favor of it, pro nounced it to lie Constitutional, it might naturally be presumed tMhthese discord ant inferences resulted ttomjtectional pre judices or individual interests. Rut such is not the relative position of the contend-, ing parties. The advocates of protection' sre unanimous on their tide of the ques tion, whereas its adversaries dilfrr among 1 themselves. Many of the most intelligent delegates to tho Free Trade Consemion, which met in Philadelphia in September last, expressed their conviction of the ligi liraatc power of Congress to pass protec. life tariff act,, though they condemned their principle as fraught w itb esil end in justice, end the dime opilidns were avow ed by Mr. Gallatin, the author of « Me morial from that Convection, in which the injuriondconaeqaeosv! of the iecWa- ttrn Interference with the capital- and U- bor of individuals, aro demonstrated trilb of an ability and clearneaa, which bare not been equalled by any production which hai issued from the American press. The majority of the people not only think that protective duties aro canititutional, but they are bs confident, that they are essen tial to the advancement Iff the general weal, and in support of their views, they rely upon the numerous protective tariff acta which have been passed*, and upon the approbation of them by every Presi dent oi the United States. The miodrity ore as thoroughly Convinced, that a pro tective tariff impaira the property of the great mass of the community, and' subjects them to a heavy taxation for the benefit of the comparatively few. When the peo ple thus differ upon a subject. In which their interest* are deeply involved—when those interests ate believed to be fostered or depressed by legislation, according to geographical positions, it must be obvious, that Congress could pass no aerso modi fying protection, as to give complete and general satisfaction. The only coarse, therefore, which the late Congress could adopt, to calm the public excitement, aud to arrest the perilous march of deep and bitter discontent, was to propose a law upon the basis of mutual concession nnd compromise. Upon this basis the act of July;l832,was founded, by which the con ditions of concession and compfoutise were understood to be, that tbe advocates of restriction should conseut to a consider able reductioD in the rat., n(protect!-, du ties and in the amount of revenue to be collected from imports, and Ahpl some Changes should be made in those parts of the system where its pressure was pecu liarly obnoxious. The uiua-icsiriction* ists, and the partisans of Nullification did nut subscribe to these terms, the Conner being averse to any diminution oftho pro tective duties—the loiter repudiating eve ry species of compromise which did not include the abandonment of tbe principle of protection. These ullr.lists, however, were a minority. The majority acquies ced in the compromise which has been tneotionod; but where the real or the sup. pcsed intercut;: of the patties were so va riant, it was vain to expect, that any com promise could be so executed asto be ex empt from mutual objections. An ap proximation towards that which each of them desired, was as much ns could have been, reasonably, calculated-upon, in the lassage of the first tariff act which had >ecn introduced, during so many years, with the deelared iutention ol reducing the rates of protection. The approxima tion, it seemed to me, wag effected by the act of 1833, inasmuch as by it the tiiini- tnume upon woollens were repealed, anil the aggregate .of the revenue and the a- mount of the protective duties conaidera bly diminished. lieiug satisfied, tli.it this act was, in- comparatively belter Ilian that of 1028, I accordingly voted for it. U pon what ground 1 can even plausibly, be charged with im policy or inconsistency, for thus voting, 1 am unable to discover. It is true that 1 have always expressed myself adverse to the constitutionality and the expediency of a protective tariff, but whatever may be my opinion of the opinions of the larger portion and the citizeoi of the south, I am compelled to admit, that the constitution ality of ■ protective tariff, is not only a de batable question, upon which wise and honest meu may ami do disagree, but 111n’t the weight of numbers and of great names preponderates in favor of those who main tain it* constitutionality. Under: these circumstances, when I reflected that the act of 1832, diminished the existing du ties,repealed tile minimum* upon wollens, (among the most odtoot devices ofamost odious law,) and <ightened, generally, the burthen of taxation, I felt myself not merely justified, but imperiously required h facilitate its passage, by every means in my power. Had I supported a bill which augmented the protective' duties, which extended the deceptive tqtnimumt, and which added to the public burthens, tbe impolicy aud inconsistency of my conduct might well have been noticod as meriting the severest animadversion. ft has alto been alleged against me, that I gave my sanction to a law which re cognized “the protective eyatem as the settled |>olicy of the country.” Upon what authority this allegation is made, I am ignorant. U is not aatttined by any words which I navo ottered, or by any language in the context of the taw, or by aiiy inference to |>e drawn from either.— if it is to boiuferrcd from the fitet, that the rcstrictionists, in the compromise which they declared themeelve* willing to enter into, did not agree to abandon protection, which thtv claimed as a right, il is admit ted that iftey did not. Nothing ie more certain, than that no law would have been passed, had this abandonment beeo de manded as one of its conditioner The basis upon which the law was professed to be founded, was that of mutual compro mise and cancession. Now where one aide surrenders the very ground which is in dispute, there may be victory or defeat, but mutual campromUe and .concession are terms, unfitly inapplicable toipclt fi position oi the parties, lfbythe.alllrga- tion, the meaning i* intenoed to bo con veyed, that Messrs. Blair and Mitchell and myself, who vote<(for the Act of 1632, in spy mode or manner, recognized “the protective system av the settled ptfiky of, the country,” it will bn sufficient to moy the imputation, nnd to ask for the proof.— But neither the' conduct of those of my colleagues whom 1 have named, nor of myself, is susceptible of *n ambiguous interpretation. Upon the flatir of. the House nrRepreseuUtires,I repeated what I had often stated, both there and efae- where, that in my opinion, a protective tt- riff was unconstitutional, unequal and op pressive: I call upen the friends of Free Trade—nof to ackeowledge the Constitu tionality or thfi polieyof a protective Ta riff—not to yield any principle or sacrifice any interest—nut to forbear from insisting upon the sadden gbaqdwmgnt of » sys tem, which would be aided with the rain of millioqs—to endeavortoobtain attamc- Dotation then.of its provision*, by T practise with their opponents, and to, pone ell efforts for Rlt.pspe*l, to a future arid mo inauspicious period. Geu. Blair ao tpi frora eoncrtvtnff thhl hW vole nsi protective eystem,” declared, that he “did did not vote for the bill as fi Compromise of tbe subject, or as > quietus of the com plaints of the South, kit tut the principle oj reduction;” nnd Mr. Mitchell, who spoke at length against tbe bill, gave to it bis support, for reasons similar to those which had been assigned by General Blair. H|fl my conduct in relation to this bill been the reverse of what it was, had I voted against it. and hid tfiis vote beeb cited, to estab- lish that 1 had been Inconsistent, and trea- chernnstoiny duty, 1 should have felt that I was incompetent to defend myself against these gave accusation!, f might have urged, as a subterfuge, that I would not suffer my name to be enrolled in favor of any protective tariff; but would I not hade been confounded and silenced by the reply, that if the law wbieh I refused to vote for, had been rejucted, a law more grievous, and which contained protective duties more onerouss would be in force; nnd that by declining to exert myself to accomplish the passage of the actofl832, I virtually contributed to rivet upon my fellow.citizens tbe greater oppression of the act.of 1838. The compromisewhich I recommended'in the House of Repre sentatives, was intended, and was declared to be intended, to meet the existing crisis, which, in tho apprehension of many wise and patriotic men, threatened the deftruc- tion of tbe Union. To avert thin deep and dire calamity, an immediate remedy was invited and rapidly diverted' from its^d* rural channels, intu investments Hi those empleynmpts of laBbr which Vfire Simu lated by legislative protection." These in' vestments have been made open so exten sive a scale, that a withdrawal of them can- ttot be attempted, otherwise thin slowly and gradually, without the inevitable ruiu of millions iff our fellow citizens, a large proportion of whom were originally, as hostile to % protective tariff, as are bow the inhabitants of our State. The sln pr tips error of having aided in the paesase atelrto of the Act^f 18107 cannot be miputewto me.* I am neither responsible lor thahhwv** nor for the calamities of which it has been the baleful source. I have never given a vote upon any question in favor of iu prin ciples. These principles I have alwaya resisted aud I shall continue to relist them, by all the means iu my power, which arc consiBtcnbwith the obligations of honesty, a respect for the letter and the qpirit ol (he federal compact, and tjie preservation of the integrity of the Union. 8ince the date of my letter to a Com mittee of tbe State Rights and Union Par ty, I havff received from .the Register of the Treasury, a “statement exhibiting thfi sccs-ary—«„a, iCuicuy voutu uot oe an- ministrred without tho co-operation of the friends and the adversaries of the protec tion: that co-operation, to the extent which has been mentioned, was obtained: it was unconnected with nny compact, erprtssti or imptieJ, as -to 'the tettkd policy of the country,' or as to tho-true construction of the powers 'to ley and colle'ct (axes' or ‘to regulate commerce.' That the protect ive principle is contained in the act of 18- 32, is undeniable; it was also contained in the bill which was reported by Mr M'Duf lie, ns (lie chairman of the committee of Ways nnd Means; for in that bill duties of S5 per cent ad valorem, for prescribed pe riods, were to bo levied upon the protect ed articles of Iron, Salt. Sugar, Cotton Bagging, Woollens, tic; afterwards the duty was to be gratlaally reduced to 12} per centum, atl valorem, which under that Bill, itae eatimated to he the rate of duty which real ntcenary fur reran ue. The con- itilutionality ofthe'protectivc system was ns plainly admitted, by legislating for the continuance of some protected items, dtf ring a single ycarpas by legislating for all of them. Without any.limitation as to time. Although the principle of protection has never been abandoned by any Congress; llthongh it is embraced within the provi sion oftho act of 1832, I hare yet, never supposed tnyro’l 1- S3 at liberty now, then formerly; to use all my exertions to erase it from our Statute Book; and I derive no little confidence in the repeal of pro tective tariffs, from the facuhat a diminu tion of the |iower of those who have hith erto, been regarded to be the veteran nnd ancompronmi'ng supporters of protection, was manifested by the passage of the act of July last, inepite of their unremitting and ttrenuoue opposition to it, aided by the co-aperation of several of those who term themselves tho friends of free trade, among whom were included, both of onr Senators anti six of onr Representatives Them Senators nnd Representaives might have been able to reconcile their conduct' with what they conceived to be policy and duty. I could not imitate their example, nor shall I bn prevailed upon to think that I ought to hare done so, until I shall bo persuaded that the butthen of protective duties is inerdtud, by reducing their rate and amount;—and that whero tlte choice is submitted to n representative ofiabjcct inn hi* enn«litn»r>i» r» « grester or a les ser evil, he ought to prefer iuflictiug up on them the greater. Ameliorations In the existing Tariff have been achieved by the Act of 1832. When that change shall take place in Congrese, which will be produced by tbe f lection of new members, according to the Apportionment Bill of the la.-; ses sion, there is every reason to expect that amount of duties according to the present rates, eotnpated with the ifatidk as modi fied by the act Of 14th July, 1832, predi cated upon the imparts during (be year ending Sftth Sept. 1830,” which I nave left With the Editor of tlte Southern Pa- Upon the assumption, that the du tiable articles will'be she same in quanti ty and pijcfi, after the Sd of March next, as they were in the yeer 1830, Ibis state ment shows that under the tariff act of July. 1882, there will be*n teduction of $1,669,056* from the amount ofduties on protected articles, and of $5,187,078 from tne amount of tcvenue to be'derived from tlte customs. Notwithstanding these deductions from the revenue, and front the duties on pro tected articles.it i£ asserted in an Adifrw *Tq the People of Soutb-Carolina,’ from onr Senators and six of our Sepresenta- lives, that the tigrthecs imposed span tho Southern States, will be greater by the act of July, 1832, than they araby the ex-. istinc Tariff. As this arrertiob may make an injurious impressioU upon the public mind, 1 will transcribe that part of “the ad dress” which i* intended to establish it, aud briefiy annex such remarks as may prevent the errors which it is calculated to disseminate. Accoidiog to certain pas sages in ‘the Address:' “Tho burthens * of the protecting duties are decidedly in creased. estimating the Cash duties and dintioisbed credits; aud they now actual ly stand at an average of more than 50 per cent; while th* duties of the unprotected articles, which upon principle or equality and justice should sustain the principle part of the burthens of taxxlion, are with a few inconsiderable exceptions,uiftre/y re peated. Upon those manutkclUTes which are received iu exchange lor the staple * productions of the Southern States, tits aggregate increase of tbe burthens of tun- tion, beyond what they were under the ta riff of 1828, is believed to bt upwards of SI.UCO.OOO. while tlte reduction or repeal of the duties on those imports which an received !h exchange for tbe production opt he Tariff States, amounts' to about 84.000.000. White, tlierefoie, the agtne gate burthens of taxation ire diminished 84,000,000 by this bUf. the positive bur thens of the Southern States sre not di minished af all, and (hair relative burthens arc very greatly increased ” It has alrnsdy been noticed,that the Ta riff Act of 1832, as compared with that which is now in lorgn, redqpes the dntier. upon protected article* by the amount of 81,869,036.
