My single purpose, at this time is to notice
the observation which was made yesterday.
by the gentleman from Ohio, (Mr. Wright
in relation to the committee Of Manufactures
This task l should not have undertaken, had
the members Of that committee been present
in the House, either yesterday or to-day; be-
cause we all know, they are perfectly able to
defend themselves. 1t is well known, that they
now are, and for a considerable period they
have been, absent from the House. by leave.
disciarging the Rrduoue and important duties
which the House have thought proper to inn
pose upon them. II the gentleman from o.
hiO had fecOllected the fact, he ought not to
have made the remark he did.
The gentleman. in reply to remark made
on this floor, said that hefeared there was no
danger, that we should have tariff forced up
on us during the present session. That We
had not yet heard any thing from the Conn
mittee on manufactures, and his constituents
feared we should not hear from them. during
the present year.-The gentleman evid-

of any tariff. during the present session. l ask
what evidence is there to Justify the re-
mark of the, gentleman? when the House
gave the committee Of Manufactures the pow
er to send for witnesses, one Of the COM
mittae distinctly declared upon this aoor,that
they would be prepared tt, report during the
present month. The gentleman Ought there

least until the close of the month ere he be-
gan to complain. It will be time enough to
charge the committee with neglect when the
period shall have arrived. within which they
avowed their intention to make areport.
Twill inform the gentleman that the mem
beers If that committee have faithfully and in
dustriousiy devoted themselves to the perf,,r-
nance of their duty. Their labour has been
excessive. They have, for some time, been
occupied. not only during the whole day,but a,
great part Of the night in examing witnesses.
When they shall make report to this House
it will be one resting upon facts. not upon
vague and contradictory opinions. 1t will
convince all, that the House decided wisely,
in granting the committee power to send for
persons. For my part. am firmly convinc-
ed, that the facts which the committee has
collected. instead of retarding. will greatly ex-
lpedite the passage Of wise and judicious ta-
lrif. They will serve to conciliate the enc
mics Of the system, by furnishing them with
convincing testimony that Domestic Manufac-
lures really do require additional protection.
Ihaye no doubt such a bill will be reported,
as shall unite the gentleman from Ohio and
myself into it's support although, during the
present session, we have stood in opposition

bark with him in the same vessel, and trust
we shall have prosperous voyage.
