the States enrchng and others is to
violate that original design, and remove the foundation

it has often been said, the system is well southern

braces all portions OF the Union Why, them do YOU of
the south not enter into liz The question by
the TACT that although the system has existed for
years we have not gone into it extent,

THIS sufficient to prove that the system is The
southern States either for it, there some

man be at loss TO assign the easonI The north is extern
svely comnercia-s capital is floating capital, and can
be invested in any new pursuit with the greatest facility
Hence when through governmental interposition the en-
ployment OF capital in manufacturing establishments held
the promise OF greater profit from such employment
ihan from any other the northern States stood ready
upon the instant to avail themselves Of such advan-

Ours, then, liked capital into money

which have assigned operate powerfully, so far as
they go, climate Let climate constitute the only in.

subject will be acknowledged by I'LL. Take FOE example
the duty sugar. duty, which, if was not sustained
by others equally exclusive in their character

lying out OF the limits OF the sugar region should
object to it, they assuredly would do, if it did
not constitute a part oil the Gordon OF The

The honorable Senator's invocation to Heaven on the
second day OF his speech for strength to enable him 10
sustain the interests of this country in the advocacy of
the American system, although proceeded no doubt from
the most thorough conviction of the correctness of his
OPINION appears 10 me TO have been of place. He es-
pouSes The interests OF one portion OF the Union against
aother and he implored strength and ability sustain
the cause oil the north against the south, his invocation
would have been more german to the matter
