,art;cle OF American manufacture, maze
carer by the American System; but they
now that the whole surplus produce OF
II tbe farmers of all the Northern States
wolld become drug, and perish on their
lands ifthat system were abolished. Inc
English System gives them a market tor
all: It gives US market for nothing. Inc
American System gives US a market LOT
m. il leaves to them the whole foreign u
oiyes 10 them a domestic market tor much
of their tobacco, much Of their rice, all oil
! their sugar, and ~, 000, 900 pounds OF their
cotton. In these two markets, the comPe,,
tition created between their American and
ENGLISH customers, adds not less than ~
oer cent. TO the market price OF all their
agricultural productions, and yearly pays
to Them four millions of dollars more than
they could receive under the English cys-
tenn alone. Notwithstanding these facts,
their policy would abolish the American
System: destroy the whole manufacturing
industry of the North; shut up the market
of our agricultural produce, created by
those manufactures; deprive themselves OF
the benefit of British and American COM
petition; repeal the legislative enactments
of forty years; blot from the page OF hlsto-
ry. that Declaration which consecrated this
day: and. finally, chain these United
States, as 50 many dependent colonies, to
the foot of the British throne.
Southern men rely on moving the whole
influence of the present Administration,
against the American System. General
Thompson, a member Of Congress from
Georgia, has published letter to his con
sttuents, in which he announces that Gen.
Jackson has to HIM, disclosed his willing
ness to aid the Southern policy. Mr.. Da-
Wis of the South Carolina Delegation, has
also assured his constituents in the same
way. that on this point, the President has
oiyen hun full satisfaction. The Telegraph
a name once of an instrument devoted to
the transmission Of that, now the organ of
Government, has coniessed-and comics
sions even under the gallows, are believed
that the present Administration IS hos
tile to the American System. A paper in
West Pennsylvania, has nominated Mr..
Calhoun as next President 1t places him
at the head of the Southern policy, and
calls that policy the English System. The
American System is denounced; and,
together with Mr.. Clay, at the head Of it,
it is to be oyerthrown by the success Of
the English System aud Mr.. Calhoun.
DO you want more evidence, that
great effort is to be made, and that the pre-
sent Administration is to be distinguished
by its establishment of the Southern poll
cy-the English System! You will find
It IN the columns of every Jackson paper,
n the conversation of almost every Jack
son man. 1t is a settled question, and the
next Congress will. the next winter, be
called upon to demOhsh that policy, which
Tor 10 wears has been increasing the pros
jerlty and perlectlng the independence OF
these United States; and to re-estabIlsh
ne English System, which neither we nor
our fathers could endure, and which, in
he language of the great Charter Of '76,
sent over swarms of hungry expectants,
to harass our People, and eat out their sub
stance"
Although patriots ofall political creeds
will, so far as principle can permit, sup
)ort the measures Of the present Admins
tration; YET doubts have already arisen
lnd that too among the President olgln-
al friends-concernIng the wisdom and
justice, in some past instances, Of Execut-
I'VE proceeding. If our worst fears for the
future are realized, whittier shall We look!
In such times, the friends ofthe American
System in the North and the South, in the
East and in the West, will look to some
guiding light, as the Pilgrims of the ldu-
menan Sea, in the darkest passage OF their
course.
I'VE have me man, long in the service
Of his country. His reputation ID not the
growth ofone prosperous day. Like the oak
Of his own mountains, it has been nourlsh-
ed and strengthened by the suns e. storms
Of 30 years. Popularity did not corrupt
MS patriotism: and calumny cannot tarnlsh
his character.-The yaPOrs of heated at
mosphere, sometimes condense into clouds
and darken the morning; but these foul ex-
halations are dispersedby increasing light.
They vanish, and not shadow of them is
seen in the clear sky, at the bright hour Of
noon.
''Noeye but his who sits on the circuit
Il
Of the heavens, locks beyond that barrier
standing between the present and the fu-
ture. We mortals can have no visions Of
events approaching us on the stream Of
coming time. Whatever such events may
