That is the great principle of the American system, taking cere of ourselves, and oul of foreign countries. The foortli mode of protection is that of admitting articles with little or no duty ■hieh ire necessary to maMfoctuting aw e. He thooght.that if the measure i bid sbonldboxflffpted^d the grad { nirnce. of the uni reduction ol the bill should go into operation, it would settle.two or three of the great questions now agitating the country, tbesa of the tariff and the public lands; Xnd if there should be a surplus, it should be unquestionably applied to in ternal imprnyamenta already commenced, aad'now in yiew by thn Government, aod after 1842, the aurplua should be disiri- buted on th.4 principle olIhe land bill It has, been his object to keep the question separate, and let each Hand on'its own merits. If this' section is • retained, and the reduction ol the first section go into operation, there will, in my opinion be no aurplus whatever. I am astonished how the Executire end his officer hare aiiiteu ai ■ ■ur|>iu» leveuuo* oil* wh.i i ia it on which their estimate is founded? Duties are given at a certain rata on pro- potiffions to reduce-, and the amount of revenue is made out on the supposition, that a change of duties will uol change the* imnnnl of iinnsirlfitl nftirlea Mir there is no esleulatino mure uncertain; it is all conjecture, ill uncertainly resting only io the changes of the winds and the waves. If there is any tiulh in tbe sc knonledgcd principles of political econo mjr, this estimate cannot be true, because the consumption will be proportioned to lito reduction of price, it you reduce the duty, you reduce the price, and thus in create the consumption The rule of the secretary ta oot good; I not unwilling to impale to him any Improper design,bnt this ertimate teems most artfully devised. It is assumed that the vxpeuse of Govern ment some years hence will be so much. 8ir. can wo say how much, in riew of ail the circumstance* which vary or may vary the expenses of Governmeu? And while the estimate is put on sn assum.-d amount of the expense of the Government, it it afterwards attorned Itow much money will come into the Treasury. Ilutl beg par don fnt this digression There is one explanation to be made with regard to silks coming from this side the Cape of Good Hope. The motives for this distinction, are. that it has been an object of anxious desire to Increase the commerce with France, and to diminish i> with Great Britain; France, although not equal with England, it a great and growing customer. The consumption in Franco of onr cotton lias trembled io four teen years. French silks ol a low ■ grade cannot maintain a l oin.tetil'nn with littse of 1 jiina, without this dilfrrenre proposed by the. bill. The duties impot ed at the last session of Coogress, were complained of by the Goreromeot of France. I think it ilnsiraut.i Altai there ahoulJ be ibis ilininrti. n between China and French t.lkt, but I shall acquiesce entirely in the opininn oCthe Senate. The rest of the bill relates to the repeal tiblithments, the lltSRi Io to sId the raw rttlerials, letting 'mxnhfaelntUif interests.

In rich legislative body there is a seote of what is due to the co.uinuoity. It is ggjd that hi tbe cue of compacts, they hare not Ihe ability to bind their successors; yet there arc cases in wnich compacts would by no means be repealed by succes sive legislatures. So doubt the bill will lie regarded io such a light at w ill tend to preicnl it* repeat. There it but one contingency to disturb the bill in its operation, and thm is wsr.fur which iu Ilie bill proviainn ia made. Con- gress may ihen resort loaoy legidalion of coitteoieocc or ooctsaitr. If peace con- i.nue, there will be no rnojive to diatosb an act like Ibis, but avery motive to carry it into continued operation. Sir. it will l>e objected by the friends of the protective policy, of Whofii I not only amonc.bui one of thuaewhose niiud hare lu-ver changed oo the siioi-, t> !a p„ mitiabie; h will he urged that the bill is ar aha donment of the power ofgiting pro lection, and not consistent with it. In the first place. I remark that there is ■ o abandonment of tkw power, the power is in iltn constitution, put there by its fromers, anil can be put out only by anameedmen- AR tough it may appear that the power would cease to be egerrise I After 18*! ret the bill only requires tligt it tbould not'be Cgereiged in a ciron mode. There are four modes by which protection mar be alforded'to the jwodurtg of induatrr. The first is by prnhibhien ol foreign article* which come in competition with dome* lie anictaf Tbs. is totaUy excluded from tite lull; ifhai never keen exercised in this Government. Still, Gorcrnment is com petent to ex -re.se the power of-prohibi The second mode is to lay the duties to as to ha ten the amount of foreign ar ticles imported. Here noregard is h id to the question, whether Ihe duty excaod or tell short of ilie egp uses of the Govern meut; it is laid for protection. When there is a debt on lire Gurcroineol, there is no difficulty in • a ploy ing this system, whether ilie revioue is small or great, and whether there is lass or mure of .l*bl. The surplus iquy be applied toil* reduction as far at it Will go. But uow ihfre is no debt to absorb tho surplus,- and therefore ne motive for merely augmenting tbe reve nue II io the operation of thx revenue system there should be a surplus of four or fire millions, wo ganeot want a mod* of expanding rhem. I he third mode is that proposed at the last session of Cougre.s. I then offered a proposition In raise on more revenue than is necessary for the use of tlln.Uovtrn- •oenftbul io lay the duties to as to ditcri mingle, deriving a revenue from protect 'd articles, and leaving the othera doty was the diseriminalion of mr proposHhn at the last session. I regret • hai Ilie quarter of the country which might to have been satisfied, was oot satisfied wish this preposition,-end that it was not received with sentiments of good feeling harmony. ! prediet that tbe day is distant, when ihe principle of dixeri paltry of Ibe country. Hit,wfeetMibis fettcyl MaUwebgiqF Vs i? ■"*> I know. Sir, of no other mode of pm teetint domestic jodnsuy by the regula tion of duties, Tbq root th mode, to lar, from being ibandoned by the bill, Is up held by it, by the admission or raw mate- riala fieeofdoty. Sir, the most thxt can be said by the friends of the ptotectire system, is, that in conMdrration of nine and a half years of peace and tubility to the manufaetureie; we adopts system which it then agreea ble to tne principle usually urged with re gard tn protection S)r, what is that prin ciple? In the Infancy of manufacture*, it ia ncceasary for a certain limn that the? should be protected from the ruinous ef feels of foreign competition, in ordei that they may obtain the rigor of maturity aud then they will aland alone, unaided by Government. Give ua time; give stability to your laws; give os nine and a half years af peace, and many of tbe manufacture* will be able to sustain themselves against any ordinary Competition. Ifin this I can prevail, if I can obtain nine anil a half yean ef certainty, I willingly !«»*. the rest tn posterity. If the tariff ia suddenly oveithrown, I knowthere will be re-action.' Men, goad ed on by extremity, and tossed by the fluctuations of an unsteady legislation, will not submit, in silence, to the loss of their property—the overthrow of all their hope* and m ail their proapeeie. nir, i want barmnnv and peaco. We have al ready gone through two‘perilous wars. Sir, I do not desire to see perpetual tar moil and trouble, now in the east, now iq the south, and now in the weet. IVace. peace, istlieobj ct of my most ardent withes, .and that we should lire together like a band ofbrothers.' ' • One obsotration I nn' Culled npnn to make—that when the nine and a half years shall have eapiredtwhen the rountry shall bennderthe movements of the revenue tvstem: Ifthefarminr portions find that they eannnt exist noder that system. Sir, I am for making no such suppositions; enffirientforlheday is the evil thereof: I leave that dav to the disposal of iu owi events. Hut if the period comes, what can they do? I’ll tell them whst they ought to do; make a fair experiment of Ihe system; try it; the bill is not absolute and forever; but there ought to'be nn ex periment on ihe system; and after it is found that it cannot subsist, let ilrein come to Congress and say, this sys tem mnst. lie changed, we are ruined ; we are bankrupt; and if, after all, nothing can be done,—Sir, I cannot' prononneo the word; I befieve something will be'iF-ne; something to secure the great interests of -all parts of the countty. The confedera cy at last although complicated mast lie managed with still; there is an infinite va riety of wants; yet never think of toy thing but union. If it is found that this cannot lie endured, revi-rl to the |original system, otto another intermediate system Try every thing, and still kee|{ os united as friends; bclote wc think of any othei dreadful alternative. Sir. it will be said on the other liand.hy the nppnsers of the kill, first, that it con tains a term too long; second, ilia; the re duction is too small, and third, th it there is no guarantee to tho performance of the promise implied in the bill. Mr Clay continued. lie .w.iul I pm ceod.he said, to answer what be conceit eu tn be the principle objections urged against this measure; that the timo was too distant; that the reduction was too small; and finally, if effected that there was no guaranty for its continuance. In considering the objection M to Ihe time, it chunk) tie recollected that Ihe preeeot institutionsr,f the cquntry'wer* not of re. e-nt birth, that they hr.vo bear, growing up for sixteen years, it should be tecolleet-d that tire beneficial effects of this system are to he'teen over the entire farming In terests of the country ; that ihe good el- fees ufihe manufacturing arts are-visible wherever the eye can mm; it should be recollected that it lisa herh the policy of the country (nr a period even bevoml six teen years: all this shunt I be recollected, »« well »? the extent it has rsa.-dred. <„ meet such objections These interests should tint be touched by a rssh hand; when touched, it s'lonbl Ire ligtitly. if it all. It should further lie r collected that there was a pledge »l the public faith,— lie wonld not gn into an examination of the terma of this pledge, nr how far they might he determined in a i ntir; of justice. Hut there were pledges, -l ongli thev might not thus 1)0 define,I. that io erery mortal point of riew might be considered equally binding. If, in onr common inter- comao with our fellow men, we raise the expectation of our neighbor, that we shall act hy him in a certain manner, and he has fixed his measure* for Ihe fninre on snch undersanding, no man ht faith is en titled to withdraw the pledge that has thus been given in anticipation. Can any man dntihl that a large clam ol our country men have conceived that they had such pledge? or can Ihe fatal resolta that mils! fail nn them, if the policy he abandoned allatnnce.be doubted? When we pr cee l ihna to abolish, it ought to he done by a gradual reduction, a rednetion that might bo ao called, that wool not bring min on any great class of onr community. Now Sir, said .Mr. V Ilie ultimate period fixed lor onr arriving at the In weal ruvamtesva tern, is hot eight year* an I a half; for by the operafh-n of the meatnre on* year i- already anticipated. At ihe end of that perioil th**r« ii mi end of i n-ncdiate pro tection; it im? be cnn«idered aa at an rod.

He thonght he felt convinced it would oot be disturbed; and there was much more reason for this confidence,- than if, by compulsion, a repeal were to take place; a thing which all might rest satis fled would not meet witli the sanction ol theeountry. Sir, said Mr. G., both the great parties may fled ia litis measure rea son of objection; and what human policy coutd be devised that would not have the same fault? It had been justly said by him, who was so appropriately called the lather of hi* country, that if tho 'several parts of nur Constitution had been sub mitted one by one to the people, no single article,, he presumed.would hare n et with apprniiaiion of nil, but when the whole waa submitted to them, it ha I been con curred in. Aa regarded Ihe measure be fore them, he (Mr C.) was sorry that much of ii. ould not meet tbe wi hes of his friends, as ii did uui givepuem uii they e >uld desire: on the other hand, all was not granted that the other party required. No project could be adapted fully lu meet Ihe aeparate parties; but it was hoped both might concur iu a common measure There must necessarily be advantages aud disadvantages to both; but there would he uu ins,, for it.wnuld be a matter of loss and gain to ourselves. It was on this great principle our uujoo had been cemeo ted; and it ivks an adherence to Ihe prin ciple that had conducted this gre t natiun to glory, to honor, aud In famo. It remains fot me. Mr. Preside nt, to touch on another topic, which is founded on sn objection agaiust all legislation at (lie present juncture, from the attitude which a portion of our ^confederacy has assumed. F’or himself, he confessed that at the commencement of this season, he felt (he greatest repugnance against any new legislation, and this repngnance, lie would admit, wai founded on an errnne- ooa impression ol the course which that Stale (South Carolina) was about tn pur sue. lie hail supposed that she bad as sumed an attitude of defence, and had ar rogantly required that we mutt submit.— When this impression was nn his minil, it was his opinion that that defiance ehould he hurled back, and that she ought to be taught her duty. Intelligence of the •tens site had (alien had met him on his journey; but since his arrival hero, he had learned that any recourse to force was not intended—lie had heard it suletnnly dis claimed by her Benaloti on this floor, and he now felt eonrioced, that sho mere 1)Tintended, at she says to make an expc rintenl, Ifhy her cnnrts of juncture she coaid aot inako the General Gorcrnment do away with certain (to lierj obnoxions laws. lie now believed that it was hei only object to bring ibis about by her laws, ami mat beyond (lie laws, she' had no further iDtemion It waa true, on a certain-alternative, and if de feated in her object as intended, if coerced by force, she had threatened to resist, but in no other case. This knowledge at once disarmed him of his fadings, and -livested the repugnance tunew legislation of one great objection. She >hiokt the can oust ut out by mesas af her count ol law, and from the mode she has adopted, she has good reason to think ao.The truth ia.said Mr. C.. she hnsmiieb'?han*e-J her course, from first appearances, or proba bly nnt so much ao from what it really was.as from what it had seemed in hi* im agination Hut when,lie had thus ex pressed himself relative to what that course is, he thinks she must ultimately fail ia h--r made uf law suit. No mao doubted what were hit own opinions. And he would say that she had u.ade up an, issoe that could do her no credit. The eerduq b.u sin-ally been pronounced against berfrnin ,01111 one part of the . Union ju (he other, Thc- mudo the had adopted was Held unwor thy of bet; it was put down by the, great moral fpr.-a uf ilie vuuutry, no where out of the limits of her own atuta was there a voice in favor uf nullification. lie had said that her nine must .lait; it is impos sible for Iter In enact anr laws that cannot be met by countervailing legislation on -he part of (lie Fedtral Government. It may be easy to dud sn ne fault iu any of our laws, but federal legislation will follow to supply the ominion. It is declared by the Constitution.that Congress shall hare power th make all lawe necessary to carry mtn execution the poweit vested in the Government. Under this sweeping clauto, as it could not be foreseen what might be required, all neeessarr powers are giren. (here was another topic to which ho would-allude, die held thru it was impos sible for any state so to shape her laws at to throw Ihe retiMntlbtlily oa the Gener *1 Government of the employment of force: the employment of force in the resistance of the laws muit come first from the stale. But Ihe subject was one which be would not prees, nor did he feel inclined to go mto i-ediscoOtOB. It was enough to say she had made an experiment through her courts, and he had already exprese/d bis opinio I that site could not succeed, lie ,b “ •« <■»'■»"«*001,1 cimhe ■he judiciary with due power to meet op- postn* iegteUimn; and the Executive, (though oot of personal firor with him.) m Mk« manner to carry into effect all the ll°oA7, T r*f d ,n , h 1 i “ ,b J ,h * (: ®»sl<l"«on. llo(Mr. C.) wonld go thus far, but oot a title beyond; and ihis because he conti I be . h " •"ornduty—|!utrioaili Caroline, so far. h.s* done nothing mete ’»”«/»«»• before her - Ohio, and ifhewrre not mistaken.

Hut there were other considerations thit •hould change our repugnance on that head: llis first feelings were opposed to it; but mat ters are changed.

Hut that day* fissd "s by South Carolina to put h«r ordinance into practice,i-« over—and we can breathe more freclv. and aa ifin a different atmosphere. Hut this is not all. 8 Carolina has post poned her ordinance uutil the 4th of March nest, and no *»**• rloobt ihftt'iho will •uapend it still longer.
