SPEECH or MR. WILDE, OX THE TARIFF .Mr. \Vn pr. bogged permission, before he pro ceeded, u correct a nisUpprehonsion whic.i might naturally arise from an observation of the honorable gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. Are. ::ton, respecting himself. That go.ntl ■- man had referred to the Journals ot the 1 Mo Congress, to tax him [Mr. YV.J with mMiis tency m voting against a proposition to reduce tile dutv on brown sugar from three :yij a half, to two or two and a half cents. The price of the article ,v n then from sixteen to nineteen cents, and the duty he voted for, as a rercAueduty, was twenty per cent. The honorable genii- mail could have found a more just and recent cause of complaint againt him. Asa member of the Committee of Ways and Means, at this vety : session, ho had voted for reporting a hill, in which the same article now valued at about live cents was proposed to be charged with a duty o! two cents, or forty percent. —His apology was to be found in his unwillingness, by a sudden change, to ruin large bodies of men—in bis at tachment to the union, the harmony, and the hap jiiness of his whole country. Which vas strok es!, his love of Peace, ortho gentleman's of Justice ? This sample of their fabrics wouhri enable the committee to determine. A short time since, he had urged the observ ance ufa sound legislative rule—majorities vote, minorities talk. It might seem, ns sometim s happens to better men than himself, there was some slight disagreement between precept and example. In reality it was not so. lie had the ready justification of a politician’s alibi —a change of circumstances. He had been in the majority, and voted ;he i ms in the minority, and he talked. Properly understood, and a proper understanding, were indispensable in all things. He was perfectly consistent. Yes, sir ! said Air. W. we were in a majority ; it was not con tested. We arc in a minority. How does it happen? Has our majority thawed away under -The melting breath ofexecutive pleasure .’ lias it been dispersed, like a nullifying mob, by the President’s Proclamation I Have w• . en rou ted bv the Siamese twin logic of the gentlemen from Connecticut, [Messrs.

Ale- i Kennan.] The inquiry may not be wholly un- j interesting to a portion of the people of the i United States. If the motion of the gentleman ! from Connecticut. [Air. Huntington] prevail,! this bill is defeat* and In the present temper ofj the committee, it must prevail. In the Commit tee of the Whole on the state of the Union, we ■ cannot have the ayes and noes. W c cannot! catch the eels in the gill-net; and as the people j of the South will be unable to imagine whv such i concessions, as they thought were ofi-T i. j should be refused, he felt it to be his duty to us-, sist their inquiries. He considered this, in effect, a proposition to j continue the present tariff', for the purpose ofcar- j tying on the war against South-Caroliria, The merits of the controversy were best summed up j by the pithy saying of an eastern manufacturer —m\wi:u u-c Yi i*.i ‘’ v moil m.u !#■■■A” b-mV and what good will the Tariff do 113 without the Union ? The proposition to the South, then, is this : “ You shail pay taxes for the conquest of South-Carolina.” Jiotr, sir, said Air. IV., i put it to vour candor to say, if we are to fight for | manufactures, whether the manufacturers ought nat to pay the expense of the war ! So far a • his voice went, they should do so. lie would not vote a man a musket for any such purpose.

L’he bill by no means concedes all that Carolina claims as a matter ol strict right : Out it may present ; rms wnich for the sake o: harmony, -he would accept. At all events, it suspends liie operation of her ordinance, it we pass it. On this point there seemed to him to be an erroneous impression. Nothing could be clearer, than, if any law passes, the Convention must be called again ; and in the meantime, the Lj.iw operates. It the law afforded even reasoti hi>le hope of a return to j aster councils, could it be doubted that South-Carolina would pause ! Upon the passage of this bill, or one similar in principle, depended, he believed, the peace and mtegrit of the Union, If it was lost, he repeat ed, the people of the South should know how, whv, and by whose tank it was lost. It the re sponsibility rested on their representatives, they would hold them to a strict account. If on oth ers, thev would learn to distinguish between re al and pretended triends. —How was the pres ent measure brought forward ?—Air. IV. adver ted to the President’s inassag at the beginning of congress, recommending, i.i strong and plain terras, a modification of the tariff - . Has he, asked Mr. IV., at any tunc advanced other opinions ?

Xo. There was every indication that he desired it should puss—that it | should pass at this session—speedily—at once, i Next in its official importance, on questions j of revenue, was the opinion of” the Secretary of the Treasury. This was well known from his ; annual report, anu his communications with the I Committee of Ways and Aleans and the *Jom ! mittee on Manufactures. lie spoae of public ! and official transactions, not of conversations, ! secret or confidential. There were none such. I if there had been, he trusted he knew better what was due to the sanctity ofsocial intercourse, than to violate it voluntarily. Nor would his vanity, if he hud be n the depositary of a State sectet, the first and, no doubt, the last he would have- been trusted with, have induced him to hint at tiie important ami mysterious character ofkis charge. He spoke of matters open and avow ed; of things authorized to be comeaunieated, and, in fact, stated to the house by the c inirman ! of t an. MimulaiAiira s^LM. 1, Hoff- ! “man. | lie as warranted, then, in saying that; the hill had me ap robutinn oi the Secretary ofj the Treasury ; that It w-.uld give the n. ct-usury amount of revenue, without, in His opinion, leav ing any inordinate excess, or destroying the j manufacturers. -The character ol til Secretary was a guaranty that whatever he uttered he *>e lievcd. He [Air. IV.] was no eulogist; but when he had occasion to speak of any man, he would do equal anu exact justice. No! ho re tracted that expression ; equal and i xact justice v.us beyond the power us man. But he would ,no his friends a little less than wiiat uc thought was justice, that he mi lit not flatter them through partiality ; and ■i- adversaries some what more, mat hetnighi notcensu othem from prejudice.

IVe have the strongest assurances that it is so. But til ,ay i is sceptical, and demands proofs. The position of that lgcntlCu.au is in many respects critical and full of difficulties, fur be it from me to add to his embarrassment. But at this ■ time and on this subject, there can be no falter ing. llis past conduct in relation tc it is not ; clear from ambiguity. The temptations that be set him are'slrong. What then ! Truly, great men are ever greatest in the crisis of their fate. Noble and gen rous spirits rise with the danger, and are equal to the emergency. In this he is confidently affirmed to be with us; but I warn some of his friends who have been with us, but ire with us no longer, that the best evidence, perhaps the only evidence, which the tlouth will accept oi'lns sincerity, is th ir votes. To them, then, I appeal; to them ’’addres myself. Os what use is it to speak to the high tariff’ men of the House ?—the opponents of the administra tion and yet the advocat* sos coercion. Their choice is made—their sanguinary purpose utter ed. To whom, th- n, out to our political friends shall we look in the day oI trial ! Where else shall we ask aid ? Where else can we find hope ? To them I turn, not to exhort, I have no vocation ; not to lecture I am no professor; but to expostulate, as friend with friend. Until recently we stood in the some ranks, fighting ’ the same battles, struggling against th- same ; adversaries, acknowledging the same leaders, j Ifthey now waver in their faith or courage, may i we not without offence entreat them to stand by a in ‘his oe.s, last great danger? Is it not due jto them,ns well as to ourselves, that our thoughts 1 !of eac h other should b. expressed frankly, but not bitterly ! If we have con.e t<> the point at which wo can no lonptr t together without the violation of some duty, >'< th- abandonment of some principle, let the fact oe avowed and ! the motive admitted, rims, mid thus only il jwo iiuist separate, ear. both escape teproai h, and liotvrutci, in. ithci can complain ofbeing de ; sev-'-i oi - “ IVI (i. I invite tin m then, to ex amine the stroii itli and v.cakiu soi their own position. The circumstances under which the bill came forward, had already been adverted to. All the auspices, whether of men or days ! were happv ; all the omens favorable. Mho e.i.fii he better fitted lorn work of conciliation than his honorable friend from Ncw-York ? [Mr. Verplanur.]-—Where t mild we look for ■ much zeal tempered by so uuieh prudence, mil above all, for sincerity unsullied by a doubt ? she very sun shone forth upon hit- bill at she moment ot its first reading; and, in its earliest stages, it was borne along by triumphant major ities composed in part of the very gentlemen to whom I now address myself. By r whom is this destructive motion made ? By an avowed ad vocate of the high tariff and restrictive system ; by an ardent opponent f the pro ent adminis-; tratioii ;by a determined adv t , sary of the favor- ; j ite and leading politician ot N cw-York. By whom is it supported ? by the most reso- ; lute and unwavering enemies of State Rights, I the doctrines ot Jefferson, and the republican school of politics. For what purpose ? To destroy the bill. The object is not concealed ; on the contrary, it is distinctly announced. When I said to the gentleman from Connecticut, [Air. Hunting ton] the other day, that according to his arc i meat, the bill would not give us revenue enough, and his motion went to reduce it still more, he felt the force efithe objection. What was his reply . “True, but the gentleman from Geiu gia must be aware that the motion, if successful, will be followed up by others to raise other du ties, and thereby to get the increase of revenue required.” In plain terms tea and coffee must be made free,that wool and woollens and cottons may b. subjected to prohibitive duties. The gent! men to w hom this appeal is made, held the fate ofi the bill in their hands, If this motion succeeds, and it will succeed, if they support it tin- bill is lost. V> ill they hear with me while I hazard some conjectures en the consequen ces t I have no gift of prophecy. I possess no powers, and employ no instruments of divina tion, other than such as are common to every <>no ot ordinary sagacity . but what will be, must spring from what is, just as what is must have proceeded from wnat lias been. To transmute the past into tha future, is the true alchyniy of intellect. I .ot us see what we can extract from the aUmbick. I’ll ills’ and least which may proceed from the defeat of this measure, if the blow comes from the quarter wti’ h tin eatens it, will be to throw the power of settling this vexed question into other hands. Is this ar. imaginary danger What says the horoscope ? Are there rio starry influences—no impending planetary conjunc ,tjon m- nrmositibn boding evil to the great and little politicians of the North? Alay not Hes per regain the ascendant ! In phrase less mys tical, i it net a law of power that ma jorities di vide, and minorities combine ! If the North and East coalesce to support the principles of me Proclamation, may not the South and West, to w hom they are less acceptable and familiar, unite to resist them? And what can be fairer or more natural: If the giant and magician eonspiie, how can they be defeated but by Nullification and Old Harry? Peace is a gift too precious to be rejected, come from what hands it may.—The country must be saved, let who will save it. A civil war must be prevent ed, whoever is pacificator. The power is in the hands of my triends.—lt is the first wish of my In art that thev should use it.

Have our friends considered howthey and their leaders, and their constituents, must teel in such anew coal ition as their votes will throw them into. Once more I beseech them to pause, if the part they wist take is not already tix-ed, the company they must keep already chosen. bice more, j I remind the,m, that, if they involve this country! in a civil war, the administration, sooner or la ter will have for its adversaries the whole South, its oldest and most steadfast friends, and for its new allies those who have pursued it with the, bitterest ridicule and the deadliest enmity. —Before they throw themselves into this lalse position, I invite them to review with me tic arguments which are used to seduce them from their Republican principles, their party attach ments, and their Southern brethren. IVo have heard that we must not submit to Ik bullied by a single State. We must not legislate with a sword over our heads. We will not be dictated to by South Carolina! Against listening to the miserable suggestions of false pride, we were cautioner -d by ny friend from New York [Mr. Yertlanck] in language so elegant and touching, that nothing can ie ta ken from, nothing added to it without in jury. In family quarrels the best heads and hearts : are ever ready to make the greatest allowance for errors of judgementaud infirmities oftetnper. Stickling on points of ceremony in such cases is ridiculous: in entering into domestic broils, tin . tiquette is that fixed in other ‘-uses, by old 1 rede rick of Prussia, “ the greatest fool goes first,” —-'But had motives will be imputed to us We shall be said to have yielded to our fears. And what course of conduct can we pursue, tc which bad motives cannot be imputed? Bad 1 motives have been imputed to me, Air. Chair- j man, to you, and to every body else. Is that to be a reason for neglecting our duty 1 Then we must never do any thing. The very course gentlemen are pursuing to escape the imputa tion of bad motives, will expose them to that ve ry imputation. 1 For example; an extract was pointed out to him the ntlu t day in a newspaper, which sta ted, “it is also said that Judge ilarcy has written to the Van Buren me mbers of Congress, that thV\ must stick to the .existing lin ill, and oppose any reduction of duties until C alhoun shall be so thoroughly down as to prevent all j danger ofhis political resurrection. After that is done, it is intimated that something might be vi< hlcifto South* arolina.” New in- [Air. W.] did not believe that Judge Marcy had ever written such a letter, lie had too good an opinion of his prudence. He had no idea the Vico—President elect had ever au thorized any one to write such a letter. But the father-in-law of Judge Marcy is understood to exercise great influence over ahe politics of Ncw-York; to have a very deep interest in wool, and to be utterly opposed to any reduction of duty on it. Judge Alan y and the Vice Pres ident elect are intimate and confidential friends. The world applies with little discrimination, the maxim, “ noscitur a sociis anji, putting all these things together, it is easy to impute bad motives, and to suppose that one man speaks the opinions of another. Now, the truth no doubt is, that the gentleman in question [Mr. : Knower] docs entertain an opinion unfavorable ;to the modification of the tariff at present. He j may have expressed that opinion to his political ! friends, as he has a perfect right to do. Nei ! ther Judge Alarcy nor the Vice President elect, are in the slightest degree, responsible for it : and the opinion itself may be perfectly honest. Yet niter all, such is the unchaiitabh ness of the wor‘ ;, that when men have a personal inletest i; maintaining certain very honest opinion: , thi .enesty of such opinions is thought to be a scru :>le less, then standard fineness. The popular notion of honesty was best expressed by a bur b quo toast w hich he remembered. Some years a a some on ,he forgot at the moment who, find been toasted as “ the tnan who dares he honest in the worst of times.” A wag of Bos ton—where, by the bye, they manufacture the best toasts, it toasts are not their best manufac ture—wrote a ludicrous account of an abolition festival, where Caesar or Cufly was thus made i to travesty that sentiment; “Do man—who dai j be honess when he git nothin by him.” 1 hat, j sir, (said Air. IV.) .is the only honesty which j wins universal cretlence. A failure to observe j it was the great mistake of a distinguished gen- \ th man from the West, who, cigiit years ago, had occasion to give a vote incite House tor. President, and who afterwards became Secrctu- j ry of State under the Presidency of the gentle-, man tin- whom he voted. In that vote the per- ; son giving and the person receiving it might be free from the slightest censure. Air. IV. boliev- ‘• cd they were so. Neither did he mean to be ; understood as saying, that in consequence of i hat vote the gentleman referred to got any thing, I He was not one of those who argue “pcs! hoc, ‘• irgo, propter hoc.” He had not joined the ml- 1 gar clamor : but that the fact of his taking like had been successfully though wrongfully appeal ed to as implicating the purity of liis motives, admitted of no doubt. His nbnesty had been assailed because :( did not appear to bo unpro fitable. Who, tain can expect to escape cen sure if they profit by their honesty -6 adver ted to these things not to wound the feelings and much less the reputation of any human being. For all the distinguished names ofhis country ho chtrishei. an habitual ibndnees. He felt he had an interest in them as an American citizen. Who ever tarnished their lustre, robbed him of a portion of his birthright. The matters he re ferred to were mentioned in no spirit of censo riousness or unkindness, but as topics ol phi losophical argument and speculation. They might serve to show gentlemen that the fear of having bad motives inputed to them, was no safe rule of action : lor, in the instance alluded to, the distinguished c itizen upon whom such mo tives were, no doubt untruly, supposed to oper ate was a * fast disposed to decline coming in to the administration. But his friends persua ded him that such a retu2.l would be attributed to llu timidity of an evil conscience, and i.'.yiT iniparttuiities exposed him through the tear ot j I danger, to the very danger they feared. But, sir, continued Mr. W., if it were possi-j l ie that any friend of the Vice-President elect j could entertain or inculcate such a course as j the letter writer mentions, nothing could be at \ once more ignoble and impolitic. Even Sylla saved his country before he chastised his ene mies ; and was one as much better than Sylla, as Sylla was greater than him, urged io remem- Ler his petty interests and animosities when the republic was in danger ? Sir the recent experi ence of the New-Yotk slat: man’s opponents might teach his lriends this salutary lesson. Never seem to prosecute a depressed adversa ry, if you do not wish to raise him above you. But it will be urged, no doubt, that the Vice President elect ought not to be indentined with the gentlemen to whom those considerations were suggested, nor they with him. They were not his men, nor any one else’s men. They were their own men. Undoubtedly. He intimated nothing to the contrary. But, un happily again, “circumstance, that unspir itual God,” bore testimony against them, and however hard it might be, the rule of political judgment was the rule of the prize court. Circumstantial evidence outweighed positive asservations. The rule was harsh —oftea-times unjust: but it was therule of the world, and the world alone could ai ; ter it, Unfortunately these gentlemen were all well known as partisans. He traced no g title man through ay -.s .'id noes; but unless his memory deceived him, upon every test question of party, they were faithful to their colors; far beyond hi-..self. The bank of the li. States, the Choctaw reservations, the breach of privi lege, the YViscasset collector, all proved their perfect orthodoxy; and could they who subscri -1 bed to the whoic thirty-nine articles,boggle atthe j first question in the catechism'! AYhcre is par ty discipline more perfect than in New York? Have they not punished ray friend [Air Ver ci inch j with the ostracism for a breach of it ? . nd if all honorable duty is forbidden ought he nut to ho proud ofhis pnni-l rnent ! (To be Continued.

IN presenting to tin putiik.-a-piriodical, entirely new m its character, it will be expected that the publisher should describe his plan, and the objects lie hopes to uo cemplish. Tncrc is growing up in the United tatos a numerous • population, with literary tastes, who oiescattmd over a large space, and who, distant from the lovalitiis whence books and literaly information emanate, feel themselves at a great loss fe: that mental loud which education has fitted t-ern to enjoy. 13ooks are cheap in our principle cities, but in the interior they cannot be procured as soon aa published, nor without considerable expense. To supply this desideratum is the design cf the present undertaking, //re chitj object of which emphatically is, to make good reading cheaper , and so put it in a form that will bring it to every man's door. Books cannot bo sent by mail, while the “ select Cir culating Library” may be received at the most distant post otnee in the Union in from fifteen to twenty-five days after it is published, ot the trifling expense of tuo and a half cents; or in other words, before a book couldbe* bound in Philadelphia, our subscribers in Ohio or Ver* j mont may he perusing it in their parlours. To elucidate the advantages ol the “Select Circula ting Library” such as wo propose, it is only necessary to compare it with some otbei publications. Take the Wa verley novels for example; the Chronicle of the Canongatc i occupy two volumes, which are sold at 35 to GO. The whole would be readily contained in three numbers of this periodical, at an expense of thirty-seven cents, [jostage niuluded ! o dial more than three times the quantity oi literary matter can be supplied for the same money bj adopting the newspaper form.

From the former •we shall select the best Ao vtls, Memoirs, Tales , Travels, I Sketches , Biography, and publish them with as muchra i pidity and accuracy us an extensive printing-office will ; admit.
