Hahh avowal OF my sentiments upon the excitinp
SUBJECTS before us-rcgardng alone the interests
of my country.
Upon oil subjects relating TO the usurpations Of
'ne feueral 6overnmeni, and especially upon that
OF inc protective Tariff system, great unanimity
o opinion prevails, throughout this and the Soutb
ern states generally They never will be recon
ciled 10 the present Tariff, or the principles on
which Il is based. They believe il TO be- contrary
tp The principles aud spirit of the Federal Consti
tuition; and the auxiliary measures, by which this
odlons system OF taxation is kept up and support
ed, are no less objectionable than the Tariff itself
The partial and eXiravagan appropriations Of eve
ry succeeding Congress, since the introduction of
this desOlaing and strife stirring system, clearly
evince an Abandonment Of those principles of econ
omy aud republican simplicity upon which our
Federal system is based To preserve and perpet
unie the blessings Of our political Institutions Il is
indispensable that the Federal aud State Govern
men,s should be kept within the limits Of their
constitutional spheres Of action lntocrnblo as
sumptons and usprpations. which will not yield 10

the public mind
The people Of this state, have already, through
their primary assemblies, as well as by their Repre-
seaatvos IN Congress and the State Legislature,
repeatedly demonstrated aud protested against the
protective Tariff system, and declared their inter
mnablc hostility TO IT, While the feelings of our
people have been strong and urgent on this subject,
they have nevertheless exercised spirit Of moder-
alton and forbearance under the prospect Of relief
being afforded, before endurance would become in.
toleruble. We have looked TO the final extinguish
ment Of the public debt, as the period when We
should be relieved from the burlhens Of unequal
taxation. And our hopes have beeR strengthened
and encouraged from the patriotic aud Independent
course which has been pursued by the present EX
ecutive Of the United States, in arrestng by h'
veto, unconstitutional measures Of expenditure
