PATRIOT We disagree with its respectable Editor alto
gether about the proceedings and the consequences of
me convention There was certainly full and most
unreserved conference among the Members upon the
operation of the Tarif-They compared notes and de-
vised plans in private and in Committees But finding
that mere was difference of opinion point, to
wit, the Constitutonay of the Tariff they considered
it best TO avoid public discussion OF it, On the mex
pediency and the niquity of the SYSTEM they met as
upon common ground. There the most perfect
unison OF opinion on that poiniBut what did they sc
compsh! adopted able Address to tho People
Of the United States--We cannot agree with the +
Patriot in calling il "feebe"- On the contrary we re
gard as orcble collection OF all the general argu-
ments which may be urged against the Tarilf-Wc are
ree to CONFESS however, that ii they had done nothing
more, they would have fallen far short oil the public
pectation But this is not "al the Free Trade Con-
venon have done."-The exception which the "Pat-
rot makes, constitutes in truth the principal thing
which they have accomplished They have "apponted
Committee TO draft Memorial to the next Congress
on the sulject"-and we hazard very little in saving
that this Memorial will be one of the most effective
measures Eve might add, the most eff ctpe) that has
ever been adopted in opposition the Tariff The |
Committee have divided the subject among themselves
Mr. Dew undertakes the theory and his book upon
the Tariff shows how perfectly he has grasped il.

Union tor the benefit OF another; showing also, how !
much harder bears upon the poor than the rich-by
the operation OF the Minimums)-they have appointed
two OF The Committee TO collect them, viz:-Mr. c.
Bdde OF Philadelphia, and Mr.. Lee of Boston the
first one OF the most active minded in the Union
the Editor OF Says Work on Political Economy and
having all the facts in Philadelphia open to his inspec
lion the other, (Mr. Lee the author of the celebrat-
ed Boston Report, distinguished merchant, and one OF
to draw upon all the resources within their reach -
They 10 collect information from all auarters-upon
every branch OF the Tariff And we shall be very
much disappointed, if they do not present an over
whelming mass OF facts upon the absurdiy as well as
the iniquity OF the "American System There Is no
branch OF which will escape their searching nvesga
ton The cotton woollen, iron, lead sugar. salt branch
es, &C. &c will be laid bare and IL we are not misn-
formed, several facts will be exhibited which are ne W
and startling in their character.-We understand that
Mr. Gaatin is 10 take these separate materials and TO
concoct them into comprehensive Memorial which
again undergo the revision OF other members of the
committee perhaps Mr. Hunter OF r. Mr. Hardenburg
OF N. j., or OF Judge Hoffman OF Baltimore Let the
Patriot be assured that this Memorial will prove M
"mouse-But that IL will be of the most DO erfuI

U. states 1t will give us, agree with tho Patriot
what is now so much wantng-f dcts-fa facts TO demon
strate with precision, how il is that the Tariff affects
price, and Expresses the consumer.-But the labor of
me committee will not expire with the composition OF
their Memorial. They have pledged themselves to re-
pair 10 ashingon, to obvate objections TO meet their
and 10 assist any committee OF Congress which
may be appointed for that purpose in collecting
es and les ing all their statements by parole exampa.
ion II Is impossible that measure Of this description
can be profiiless and ineffective. The truths which
are thus ELECTED. will appeal TO the People and their
Representatives in so authoritative manner, az mus,
have some effsc, 1--WE humbly hope) in leading 10 the
total abolition or vast modification OF this abomnabe
system.
