, He ended his speech hv moving a set of resolu

WINSLOW ROBINSON, Sec’rv. j
1. Resolved, I hat while we retain a grateful
sense of the many great and valuable services ren-!
dertid by Andrew Jackson, Esq. to the U. States,'
we owe it to our country, and to our posterity, to (
make our solemn protest against many of the doc-!
trines of his kite Proclamation.
2. Resolved, That Virginia” is, and of right ought I
to he, a free,sovereign and independent State:” that!
she became so by her own separate act, which has !
been since recognized by all the civilized world,and!
has never been disavowed, retracted, or in any wise
impaired or weakened by anv subsequent act of
hers.
3. Resolved, 'l*hat whea, for purposes ofcommon
defence art! common welfare. Virginia entered into!
a strict league of amity and alliance with the other,
twelve colonies of British North America, she part-]
ed with no portion.of her sovereignty; Allhough,!
front the necessity of the case, the authority to en-,
force obedience thereto was, in certain cases and for
certain purposes, delegated to the common agents of
the whole confederacy.
4. Resolved. That Virginia lias never parted with
the right to recall the authority so delegated, for
good and sufficient cause, nor with the right to
judge of the-Kiifficienoy of such cause, and to secede
from the confederacy whensoever she shall find the
benefits of Union exceeded by its evils. Union be
ing the moans of semiring liberty and happiness, and
not an end to which thoso should be sacrificed. |
5. Resolved, That the allegiance of the ]>coplc of;
Virginia is to due to Iter—that to her their obedience j
is due, while to them she owes protection against aIL
the consequences of such obedience.
f>. Resolved, That we have seen, with deep rc- j
grot,that Andrew Jackson, Esq. President of tha U. j
States, lias been influenced by designing counsellors]
to Subserve the purposes of their own guilty am hi- j
tion, to disavow the principles to. which he owed his]
elevation to the Chief Alagistracy of the Government
of the U. States, and to transfer his real friends and
supporters, hound hand and loot, to. the tender mer
cies of his and their bitterest enemies—the ultra. Fed
eralists, ultra Bank, ultra Tariff'. ultra Imernal Im
provement. ami Hartford Convention men. the ha
bitual scoffers at State rights, andfto their instrument,
the venal and prostituted press, by which they have
endeavored and but too successfully to influence and
mislead public opinion.
7. Resolved, That Virginia will be fourtd jicr own
worst enemy, whenever she consents .to number
among her friends those who are never tAtc to them
! selves, but when they are false to their.country.
8. Resolved, That we owe it to justice, while de

THE TARIFF QUESTION,
In the list of the revolutionary worthies, of Vir
gima, few names are more conspicuous and imposing
than that of Edmund Pi-.mi.R-rox. Mr.-Wirf-cov
ers itm his life of Patrick Henry, with a profusion
of his most brilliant superlative. He represents Mr.
— uo \jh€: vviio, in irit-• nt
u lawyer or statesman, had “ few equals, WsiW
nors. A friend has put into our hands a- letter of
this eminent person, written forty T ears agoyoffa
subject which is now under the most earnest discus
sion throughout tiie United .State*.
Vinounti, Dee. 4, 1792. .
Sir By toy friend, Col Taylor, whom I men
tioned to you at Richmond. I have to thank vou for
the two pamphlets presented me ; which 1 have read
with attention and pleasure, perhaps for the most
powerful of all reasons, that the sentiments in gene
ral coincide with my own. ” *
A moderate impost on imports and tonnage on
vessels, may properly be made part of every fiscal
system, and five per oent. seemed to have been fixed
on as a standard of moderation by thegeneral consent
of America—but the object should be merely reven
ue, unmixed with other purposes : so that if sumptu
ary Jaw* or other projects are to be tried, let it be bv
other detached laws to stand or fall by themselves;
and let not the imposts be expected to answer all
governmental purposes however extensive; for that
, would be ruinous to trade and of couyse to the citi
: zens, and they would lie insensible of it, not knowing
j they pmd the tax. although they did so. with large
increase. No, let them at least feel this increased
burthen, and thov will then inquire of their repre
sentatives why it is laid, and how the m. neyis dis
posed of, as they ought to do. Raws which inter
fere in the private employment of citizens, and en
courage one kind at the expense of others hv pre
miums, bounties or prohibitions, are as impolitic as
unjust; they violate private rights not ceded to so
| diety. and fetter occupations ns well as barter of the
1 produce of labour ; lioth of which succeed best, when
left free to the will and contracts of those concerned.
! It is a fallacious argument indeed, that the agricul
| tural interest is benefitted by opening one new mar-
I ket for their produce and snpplie*, when the acquisi
tion is made, by means tending to exclude all com
! petition, ifcgive a monopoly in both to the new agent
—and is the effect ol those laws, the weight of which
fall upon tillage; whereas when manufactures* arc.
lelt to grow out of tiie natural order of things, the v
j f; ome to the agricultural market as new competitors,
| upon equal or hotter terms ; and until they can af
; ford to do so without the aid of premiums, it is bdt-
J ter for them and ho community too, that they should
j remain in tilling the earth. 1 cannot conceive any
| reasoning, however specious, which is less solid, than
j a kind 1 have frequently met with; “that the whole
price paid for imported article, which might he made
; here is lost to the community," which is fully refu
ted by a familiar case put to prove it: Ais a farmer *
who has produce to barter for necessaries ; a foreign
er oilers to allow him £lO for- hisproduce and to
| furnish the articles he wants at £B. Bis a ncighbor
! ing manufacturer who wants and will allow A for
; the produce, the £lO, but must have £lO for the ne-
cessaries in exchange, either for want of skill or in
dustry in his business—for want of proper hands or
instruments to carry it on—or most probably from
the superior value of labor employed in husbandry
to that of the other. If A barters with B, how is the
£8 saved to the community ? Is it not obvious that
trade with a foreigner would have entitled A to a
balance of 40s. in cash, clear gain tojjhim and the
j community too, (who are as a body only* interested
| in the balances paid or received in cash in foreign,
I trade.) Now if the legislature add a tax upon the
necessaries, of 40s. to prevent the foreigner from un
derselling B, they not only improperly intermeddle
with the private dealings of A and B, but in mlain
English tax A 40s. a year to's&Vfc B from loss, for he
I gains nothing, having laid out thh stlm in increased
( expenses. Is this just, or consistent with tiie equal
. rights of both 7 or for the interest of society 7 by no
: means; lei both alone, and B will either improve
his system so as to save his. -10s. withotit loss to A
or take up -Vs occupation and gain 40s and add that
sum also to the gain of tiie community.
