That n imposes SD heavy a duty on cheap coarse wool. such as we d. not raise in this country. as must entirely break up aH the manufacturers of carptgs, negrO-clOihs, and other coarse fabrics;
 Tha. this enormous duty on imported coarse wool. is obviously designed to catch the support of the farming interest; while all well informed wool growers know, th;gt the manufacturers above alluded to, must use thls cheap imported wool, or stop their factO- res and that, if they stop, then, off course, there will be no market for their own wool aft Gny price;
 That the very high duties on molasses.and some other articles, were obviously inserted for the purpose of giving the bill such char | acter that the northern and eastern members 1 could not vote for ir;
 That the whole proceeding is apparently designed to produce two results; first. to de- feat the measure altogether; second. tn throw its defeat on the friends of inc Admin. istratiOn | That Mir. MalIary has moved, and the mo- tion is now pending, to amend the bill bvs striking out all that part of it which relates to wool and WOollens, and inserting, instead thereof, the recommendation of the Harris burgh Convention, as to those articles sg u That this motion has been under discussion l three weeks, and is strenuousy opposed bv the Jackson members, both of the COmmittee and the House:
 That there IS very great danger that this motion will be defeated by a union of all those southern members who are against all pro- tectlOn whatever, and the Jackson members 1 from Pennsylvania, Kentucky. aud New York, who. although they profess to be in fla | vor Of protecting the farmers and manufactu- rers. yet vote on all occasions, and with un- wavering steaGiness, with their southern Jack son friends; | That, therefore, it is probable that the f5;lS 1 cannot be amended so as to answer any good purpose, either to the wool grower or to the l manufacturer, or be rendered other than ru- inous to both. And that as neither the friends ot the wool grower nor of the manufacturer can conscientously vote for it in its present shape, little hope remains of getting any bin whatever through the House.
 The foregoing suggestions are fully belie- ved by us. We think them plain and sober | truths; and it is the object of this short ad dress to call. loudly and urgently, onthe Peo- pie to come forward and express tllelr opin- ions and their wishes.
 l Let those who doubt what we have il5Sre- dcted, look to the end. If there be any ayes yet shut, eUents ,ciu soon open them. Let the people look to MT. MDufies report from the Committee of Ways and Means, which is in direct and open hostility to Mir. Rush's Trea- sury report.
 | Let them observe the decisive ground, res- oiutely and sternly taken by the southern gentlemen, dguinSt the achoie Driacipltscf pro- lection. Let them observe the, facility with which Jackson members from tbe middle and western states, calling themselves friends of protection, slide into cooperation with their southern friends in all their anti-tariff proceedings. Let them remember the vote ot MT. Calhoun. the leader of the party, on the Woolens Bill Oflast year. Let them see the proposition for reduction of duties, al- ready submitted sto the Senate, by an active frIend of Gen. Jackson. Let them note the movements already made in both Houses, for an early adjournment of Congress. Let them take heed of the fact, that no one Jackson member m the House of Representatives has done any thing to hasten the progress of the bill Finally, let them recoIlsct that the ses- m sion has already lasted near four months-is now fast running out. and, with decided ma- jority: very much boasted of, in the House of Representatives the Tariff Bills still allowed to finger along from day to day, from week to week, and from month to month. scithout one effort cfthe majority to pass tt. l Let these things be considered, and we trust that the People will at least give us credit fer sincerity when we declare our belief l to be-
 IhatGN the principal leaders ofMe Jackson party are decidedly opposed to aH protection ,0hGteuer sh
 That those followers of the leaders who
 live in states which are in favor of protection. either for want of sincere desire in them selves to grant such protection, or, which is more probable, for ,cant of sufficient tccight and decision cf character to resist he superior strength aud ability of their Southern political brethren. yield submissiyely to kheir dictation. and follow their lead; | That, by these means, party is fast forming, of which General Jackson is to he the HEAD, which is to be wholly and system- aticalIy opposed to the entire system of pro- lection;
 And that, when this party shall have de- feated the present measure, and all the hopes which were entertained from this session of Congress- ,and when it shall have consolidated
 itself by success and by the habit of acting together, tt WiH aim boLdiy at the entire su6- uersion of ths tancs iohich Glready erist for the protection cf American Industry, and tke SUD- port cf our Jarmers and manut tactwers, and plunge @existing institutions, capital, labour, and hopes. all together into irretrievable ruin. |
