Congress the boon they modesy solicited aud Congress

Sir, il a porten,ous alliance, aud monster the
issue: This was the American Syst9n'-the Z" two

presidential chair. Year alter year almost the South, in
despite Of its efforts 10 prevent this Injustice, had forced
upon her increase OF the Tariff avowcdly, for foster

North the friends OF protection receiving support from
the West by supporting the West in their schemes of in

they went on step by step, till the enormous duties upon
imports in sixteen years, have paid hundred mil
