that congress assemble, from all the States
opposed TO protecting tariff, in order to devise
ana recommend to the different legislatures and
people, such measures consistent with the con-
sttutlon, as may seem best calculated to pro-
tect them from the operation of the tariff bill,
ana prevent the use and introduction of the tar
.Ted articles in the respective States"
Now this is all very idle as well as unreason-
able in our southern friends, not only because
the most odious features of the present bill
were retained by their votes, but, because the
whole tariff system is the natural offspring of
measures, forced by them on other sections of
the Union. When they commenced the pro-
hibitory system, by enacting non-importation,
non-intercourse, and embargo, laws, and there
by forced capital from other employments into
manuiacturing-when by war, they cut off all
supplies from abroad, and threw US upon our
own resources for such artcles,-they must
have been aware of the manufacturing interest
they were building up in this country. Could
they, then, reasonably expect, when built up
through their agency, that the people would
suffer 1t to be prostrated, and the immense cap
ital employed in it, to be sacrificed Certainly
not In whatever light, therefore, we view it,
If tie present bill bears with any severity on
the south, they have no cause to complain of
the north, and we trust that they will soon
evince little more calmness on the subject.
