How have they actually been ! UpiUj
IBHO, there had been expended in the sever,
nl Spi;. ‘tr unit Territories two hundred and
eighteen millions of public money, in lurtilica.
rtioti?, light, houses, publ c debt, pensions, and
tnlernal nnprovci.'.enis, ot which sum, one ;
hundred and nrne*ty-live millions were disbur- ■
ned in the Northern and North,western Slates;
and twenty-three miliums in tbe> Southern
end South-western. Tho national debt con
stitutes by far the largest item in tins account,
mid it was hut equitivde that, litis should bo 1
paid to the lenders in the proportions ot their 1
loans. Hut in the matter nl miernul improve
ments, the Southern division should have re
ceived a ninth more than the Northern. J'he
disbursements uniter this head were —north ot
the Potomac, in round numbers, (our millions

or nearly 18 to I.' Pensioii.s 17 to li; J.iglil

nod never to lie equal again. The expendis
lures on the Cumberland road alone, were,
about mm; times the amount expended lor
internal improvements in all the Southern
and Southwestern Slides together; and with,
out lint', tho proportion North and South, was

tint, tins gives us n very inadequate idea of
the extent ol'tho disbursements in the several
Slates. It touches not llte first cost, and Iho
annual expenses ot the national establish
ments, most ol winch are at the North; nor
the pay of the officers, principal and stiboiilin
nlc, m the several departments ol’iln; govern
ment, most of whom are citizens ol the North;
nor the ten thousand other items of expense,
which goto make up tire grand total of fjjtl,-
0()0.(K)(l,()(). Whoever will take the trouble |
to follow these expenditures through all their
details for a year or two, will come to the I
conclusion, that ol the whole sums disbursed I
among the States, little short of eight lentils |
have gone north of the Potomac, or tociti
■y.ens domiciled north ol the I’oluniac. About j
seven hundred thousand dollars oft.be onobil- ,
■lion disbursed, were raised from the customs j
—that is to say, from duties on foreign mi- i
poriiitions, two thirds of which were receive |
m exchange lor Southern productions. The
.Southern Stales then have virtually put into
(he treasury, four hundred and sixty-six mil- j
liornfoftho seven hundred, and drawn out
o.ic hundred and forty. The Northern Slides
.have put in two hundred and thirty-three mil

While tho Southern Slates were conirihu J
ding so liberally to the support of Iho Govern
• nienl, they suffered still heavier losses than
any that we have mentioned, in the regular (
progressive and almost ruinous deprec alien .
ot their great staple. Tor about lilteen years, J
except during the frenzied excitement of 18*J5 |
it kept unremittingly on the decline; in so ,
much, that, for six years preceding 18.‘!2, it did I
■not average quite ten cents per pound, at the '
places of shipment. It has ever since, in i
spile of the disasters of tins and the last year, t
and of Iho increased production, averaged <
about thirteen cents u hundred miles m the
interior of every cotton growing Slate. That
the Restrictive (System, as it has been aptly
termed, was the cause ot its decline, no one,
it m presumed, will now dispute. Jiut who j '
'can compute the losses winch we sustained !
front Unit system! Thu diljeroticc between |
'the prices of the article in question, before I I
and since 18‘3'd, is but a very poor measure ol I
•our losses upon it anterior to I inti period; hiv •(
cause Iroui that dale to llte present, it bus been i
•materially affected by the lanll; and it will 1
continue to he, even under the duties made >
permanent,by the compromise act. Rut by '
that measure, our losses amount to not less 1
than fitly millions, In the short space ol six I
years.
The Restrictive System was not more op- I
pressive to us than propitious to our Northern i
brethren. It was the touch of JMidac to their '
■properly, and the übluiliou of Midas to their i
streams.—Through till its operations, it ea- I
nchod them—in all its consequences it profiled 1
■them. With ils utluir effects, it gave them j i
(lie command of Southern trade; mid thus in
t ren-od our dependence tqion them, and mill- | '•
tiphed our debts to them. I. tus not be mi- i
dcrsluod as mention ng these things, in liie 1
spirit o| complaint or disaffection; hut in eon- t
limialion of the positions which we assumed |
a', tho opening ol our rein,irks. Indeed the t
• Southern people, now reap no small benefit, I
front the measure, winch has been so favorin' e
hie to their Northern friends. Ii Inis enlarged I o
the demand for their principal staple, ami I I
■ ojicuud to litem a homo market, where they h
can be supplied Willi many articles m daily d
use at the South, upon better terms, than they u
are offered in any other nnirkel. Ii
But, fellow citizens, how trivial would all a
our other losses have sonned, had we only se- u
cured to ourselves the importer’s profits!—We si
have supposed the foreign importations, to w
have equalled in value, but four limes llte b.
amount of the duties levied upon them. We g
know them to have been worth a hundred U
millions, and hut a hundred millions, more— it
a tact worthy of a passing notice; for as the n
iluties were very lo.v up to the year 181(5, it e
proves thatsmeu inat lime, tho Government tl
must have absorbed hale short of half the va- K
hie o, all the goods brought into the country, p

from tins hasty review it appears, that on- |

a (I reel trade with foreign nn'ions than those |
which now surround ns: we not only carried 1
mi r.iich a ttade, but took the lead in it.—We ,

and economy ot our Northern brethren, and .
with equal favor from Hie Government, we must j
not only have far surpassed them in wealth,

mis people on the globe.— We have scon, that j
our own improvidence, the shrewder policy ,
of Northern friends, and the unequal action
! of the dm eminent, have all conspired to bring i
upon us our present embarrassments. Not
that they arc the ininiedia'e cause; but that
they have so Car weakened us, and made ns so
completely dependent upon the peo.ule ot the
North fur every tiling, that the least shock to
1 commerce, prostrates us, and the least pres
sure upon thorn, is turned upon us with redou
bled force. We have seen why it is that the
one people lias risen like the rocket, and the
other has fallen like its stick. Wo have seen,
I hat their positions must have been reversed,
if the Southern people had mu nlnined their
foreign trade. The opportunity is now offer
or! to thorn lo resume it, and to reap the rich
: rcwa'ihj from it, that they have hitherto trans
ferred lo other hands. Follow citizens, will
1 you not resume it! livery thing now oncou.
i rages you to do so. American commerce is
almost released from its fellers; and your re
source will enable you to control it. You
| are not wanting in means, in skill, in ports or
I waters, to accomplish the great enterprise.
The legislatures of your respective States
have made easy the way, and sale the attempt,
lo accomplish it. They have authorised you
to form associations for this purpose, in which
you may invest what you please, without ha
zard of more than you invest. Your interests,
social, pecuniary and political, are deeply in
volved in if. A single, hold, united, manly
elfort, on your part, anil the thing is alone.
| livery citizen must, lake an interest in it—
I overy citizen, a part ill it.
And while we are directing our united exer
: lions lo the great object, let us not forget the
I auxiliary duties which devolve upon us as indi-
I viJuals. J,«l us reform our habits of extravagance, j
l.et us become an industrious, economical, and
a domestic people; ami wtmt we practice our- j
selves, let us teach our children. J.el us make |
more ol them merchants—scientific, reputable,
practical merchants. J.ot our planters reform 1
their agricultural systems. J.et them resolve lo 1
| buy untiling that their farms can produce, and lo
j sell bread stuffs under every season. Uy Ibis
) policy, they will not gain more in independence
I Ilian in wealth; for their rollon crops reduced one
| fourth, would command a higher price than they
now do. Nature has practically demonstrated
lliis truth lo our planters, again and again; but
they will not prollt by her lessons. Never does
she shorten their craps, that llu-y are not more
than compenoulcd iu the price; and yet they
ennnol be persuaded to shorten them themselves.
In 1825, a rumor was spread, nod generally
believed, (but the cotton crop on baud, would not
supply ibo oomai.d by some filly or a’li und red

class of the community arc so deeply interested
in a direct trade us llu-y are. For the want of
it. us we have seen, llu-y loose in the price ol all
that they ra se, and all that llu-y consume.
Hut it has been said we cannot curry on a Imdc
with foreign nations, because we have not the
requisite capital. That is to ray, the people of
the Southern States, wilh the most ample resour
ces, that auy people of equal number ever pos
sessed, cannot do I hut which all nations have
done, from the .Phoenicians to the Texians.—
Have we less capital now than wo hud in 17(i’J!
Did the capital which made Virginia ami South j
Carolina larger importers than all the Northern
Elates combined, desert them immediately upon
the adoption of the Federal Constitution, and
Hoe to the Northern Hiatus! Hut what is the
capital that sustains ihc foreign commerce of the
United Mlnics at t*-is lime 1 ? Cash'! Hank notes!
Why all the specie and bank notes in circulation
three years ago, between the Hi Lawrence mid
tin- Habiue, would not have purchased the exports
ol IHdii; mid alt the specie iu Kuropo e.mi the
United Htalcs, would not purchase llie exports
lor six years to come, at dial year’s prices. A
tact that seems to have been overlooked, when
the cotton mid specie traffic was so strongly re
commended to us, ill by gone days. And yet
the exports of tbut ycai worn bought and sold.
How was the operation effected 1 We will
take a Southern staple, tor the sake of illustra
tion, and a small part tu represent the whole
■crop, and exhibit the process. Tbo Northern
importorfotincd commercial connexions at the
South and Liverpool. He ordcied the South
ern House to lay in for him a thousand bales
ot'cotton, and to draw on .him for the price.
The draft was drawn, ami sold for Southern
hunk notes, to some one who wanted Northern
Hinds. Tne notes paid the planter for the col
ton, who bought Ins supplies with them, from
the merchant, who relumed them to the bank,
where they remained ready to purchase ns
much mine cotton. The cotton went on to
the Northern merchant, who shipped it to Liv
erpool, ami upon the credit of it, drew a bill
"poll the Liverpool House, which ho sold tor
Northern bank notes, and with them pa d the
•Southern draft. The Liverpool merchant
turned the cotton into goods, and shipped
them to ins correspondent at the North, drew
a bill upon him, which he sold, and from the
proceeds, paid Ins acceptance. Or, ho sold
llie cotton lor cash, find hia acceptance, and
proemod the goods upon a credit, lor the beiii
elii ol lus American mend, who renewed the
operation before the term of credit expired.—
There are variations iu the process, winch we
have not lime lo notice. Sometimes it is con- i
ducted throughout, by agents ot foreign Hous>
cs established in tins country. Tins we be- |
•eve is now the usual mode; and other inodes i
ire adopted, according lo circumstances : but (
n ibis nay, nr some other substantially the M
mine, have all the productions of die country, 1
vlncli have gone to foreign markets, been !
•ought anti sold. No money has come South i 1
;oue North, or crossed the Atlantic. The 1
.radio has been conducted entirely upon oral- 1
I. Wo have only, therefore to clothe our 1
net chants with the same credit that the North 1
mi importer has, lo enable them lo perform
he sima’oflico. How is tins to be done?—
Simply by giving them the control of as much "
nopiriy us the Northern importer possessive 1
l mailers not what kind ot property you tT ivr 1
hem, provided it equals Ins in value. His !
irnporiy is Inscapnal; n consists of homes. ,
■ tups and stocks of different kinds, 110 ni v
•i baric is these lor goods ; but the foreign j,
aeichanl kuo.vmg that he i in. than, .uid be j |!
I'ipr anxious to dispose ff Ins mvi#nff.rr.imidi£''
very readily credits him upon the f>rrngth o(
1 11 <- resources. List who fiippoanu, that thin
kind of fraj.i.itol is essential lo foreign trade 1—
Ifthe plunlera ofltie South would place ten
hales on I lit* hundred of their next year’s col
' ton crop, in the hands of irerchanls in the s;x
I principal rcaports, the rnerchan’s in each city
' would have a capital of more I.tan halt a mil..
| lion ; quite as good in all respects, aa any mer
chant in the Union possesses, of so great n
value. Nay, far bailer; lor their capital would
' enter into their trade—would po to Europe
i possessing all the properties of coin lor com
| mercial purposes—would itself establish the
I owners’ credit there—or rather, set all credit
at defiance, and convert their traffic into a
! cash business. Does the world produce such
1 a capital for foreign commerce] Indeed, al
most all the capital ol the country, has to bo
resolved into this, before it is ol any value to
, trade upon abroad.
The next heat capital to cotton, in money; and
! i his is at the command of the Southern people,
! in any quantity, that the most active commerce
may require. When, therefore, we ate taunted
by Northern paragraph! U with, *‘ plantations
1 and negroes will not be easily bartered lor mer
j chandiso in Europe,” wc cxcurc tlie insult, in
| charity to the ignorance it betray.-; and in lurlher
; indulgence, wc reply, “quite an easy as Wall-st.
buildings, and Wall street stocks. The dilference
between the two kinds of properly is, that the
| one produces that which will buy goods in liilj
\ rope, and the other does not.”
Wc most earnestly invite the attention of the
Southern people to this great interest. We beg
I them to promote it, by availing themselves of (lie
privileges which the legislatures ol their respec
tive Slates have offered them. Wc feel well as
sured that all wlio make investments in the im
porting business, will reap large profits Irom it.
Managed with common prudence, it must be
profitable. Two gentlemen of Savannah, long
practised in mercantile business, and of large
resources, proposed forming a copartnership in
the importing trade, if they could meet with pro
per encouragement upon these terms: That the
country merchant who might join the association
should he supplied with their goods at cost and
charges; and the linn would look m sales to dis
interested individuals for its profits. Under such
an arrangement the country merchants would
only have to band in ihcir orders, receive their
supplies in a month or two, direct from the lac
tones, and at the lowest rales, and at the same
lime, ho drawing a handsome interest upon the
capital invested. What country merchant would
refuse to become a partner in sucli an establish
ment'! i’ut we take higher ground than mere
pecuniary interest; We address ourselves to the
patriotism ol the Southern people, to their pride
1 of character, to their regard for the rising race, to
! their love of independence —and Ity all those
considerations, wc solicit them, to put. at hazard
I something, for the recovery of our his 1 . commerce.
Wc believe that a gratuitous contribution to this
j object, of ten per cent,, from a year’s income of
I every citizen of the South, would in the end lie
|to ail, the best investment they ever made. We
1 urge upon the citizens of the Southern and South
western Slates, to send representatives to the
t Convention to bo held in Augusta in October
next, to devise means of accomplishing our all
important object. The advantages of the former
meetings have already been most signally felt.—
They have aroused a spirit of inquiry into this
matter, which profoundly instructs, while it
greatly amazes us. They have produced con
cert of action, and harmony of feeling in the
Southern Slates, lly one impulse, they have
moved all the legislative bodies of the South to
our assistance—They have, awakened active ex
ertions injihe people of the several States, to
give their States the lend in the great enterprise
—So much have they done; and more will they
doubtless do, as their numbers increase. We
promise ourselves from thorn, united counsel and
of internal improvements. From all our sen jidris
are railways extending in every direction, over
the broad area of our fertile country —admirable
precursors ol our admirable design.
Future Conventions will consider how these
tony bo converted into bonds of onion—how they
may ho combined and extended for the common
good. How strongly do they recommend to
the people of the South unusual and unti
ring cxertions'lo reclaim their lost commerce !
In eight and forty hours, they will lay the plan
ters produce upon the shores of the Atlantic—in
as many hours more, they will lay the proceeds
of it at the foot of mountains. Availing our
selves ol our own ports, of our own ships, and of
the agency which makes out roads r,o useful, we
may in twenty days place our staples in Europe ;
and in as many more, icceivo the avails of them
at our own doors. Why, with these advantages
before us, should we send our produce a coast
wise voyage of a thousand miles; and then travel
ns tar ourselves, to gather a small part of its re.
turns '! Since our attention has been directed
to this subject, nothing amazes us more, than
that it should have been reserved lor the year
ItSdti, and lor a gentleman in a small town two
hundred miles in lire interior of Georgia, to arouse
the people of the South, lo a sense of the losses
which they were sustaining, and the advantages
they were losing, by (heir neglect of a direct trade
with foreign nations. If wo improve the hint
which that gentleman has dropped, as we should,
i.e will have conferred a favor upon the Southern
Slates, which they can never ovcr-upprecialo, or
duly reward.
Ths Committee deem it unnecessary and in
expedient to enlarge upon the probable benefits
that would result from the accomplishment of our
purpose. They may he inferred from the retros
pect which we have taken.
U the render require better evidence limn this,
let him look lo the Stale, that has improved the |
advantages, which wc have neglected, in I S3G j
“New York imported six limes the amount of I
her exports, while the Southern and Southwest., i
ern Slates imported little more than one-lourth
ol theirs." Which is in the most prosperous
condition! Could we divide between our South
ern seaports, hut a fourth ol the commerce, of
the chief city of the Empire Slate, it would dif
f fuse new lilc and activity through all the Slates
in which those seaports are located. The Com
mince on Ways and Means before quoted, says
“the Collector of the City of New York received
in 1830 at the Custom Houses, Fivk Millions
in 13in.la us.” We know, that in 1833, the olli.
eers in pay of the Government, who were cm
ployed in those “Custom houses,’’were consider
ably the rise of three hundred, independent of
•heir private as.-islants. In 1830, they probably
all together amounted to live or six hundred. A
village population of Collectors, wuh a million
per annum in their pockets, reserved mainly from
ihe proceeds of Southern industry! Who ran
contemplate a ciiy enjoying such a commerce,
without the livelies admiration! To what an j
interesting train of reflections does it give rise! j
