No southern statesman has hitherto
proposed to repeal that part of The 1ms
rican system. under which southern a
griculture is now laurishing. It's the
prosperity ofthe northern grain growing
states, which has disturbed the equani
n,itv ofihese politicians. Their sugar
rice. cotton and tobacco End a ready
market in Europe, while The hemp, iron,
provisions, bread stug, fish, and lumber,
OF The northern states, might as well be
thrown overheard, as 10 be transported
to ATTY nation ON the eastern shore of
the Atlantic. They have never been a.

come a drug, and perish on their hands,

lish sly stem gives them a market for all,
il gives Us a market for nothing. The
American system gives US q market for
all, 1t leaves to them the whole foreign,
and gives to them adomcstic market for
much Of their tobacco, much of their
rice, all their sugar, and 20, 600, 900
pounds OF their cotton. Ia these two
markets the competition, created be-
tween their American and English IA

Sf,000,e00 more than they could re-
