MIR. Hayne, in support of his motion TO amend and in
reply TO Mr.. Clays remarks made Wednesday, spoke
ABOUT hree hours, entering into the whole subject of the
protective system This speech shall be able TO give

Mr D'chcrson rose, and said, that the extensive range
oil lacts aud arguments taken by the gentleman from South
Carolina, and the great ability with which he had present

the views OF the intelligent Convention lately assembled
nj New York and Philadelphia. The movements in re :
auon TO the Tariff in the Southern States had resulted in
the Philadelphia Convention while the popular feelings in

Mr.. Hayne took occasion, he said, to remark that in
he hurry oil argument he had omitted one topic of great
importance-the Constitutional question He should not
now enter into it, but would that had been his mr.
pose to shew, that the South had uniformly du

uniformly sustained that doctrine; that Congress had no
more power TO protect industry by axaon than they had
to abolish the trial by jury, TO establish AN nuuson

ycrnment He also, had intended to remark that the
Senator from Kentucky had enormously understood the
opinion of the Free Trade Convention TO he that The d

ue Prooecuoh oil domestic manufactures They had only
expressed The opinion that the protection incidentally al
lorded TO manufactures by Tariff arranged for revenue
was not unconstitutional ''
Mr. Clay doubted, he said, whether so late a dav as
Monday required for the consideration of the subject
IL was now evident that the discussion would cover the
uc ned OF argument and though all the information
would be before u.s. part of it would be- before MONDAY

Mr. Clay certainly would not oppose the visbcs If tho

postponement Ordelay.
Mr.. Forsyth said there was no dispositiop 10 ~

would suggest whether any good result would follow from
