consistency against South Carolina and the latter
threw them back, and 50 IN aud a. forth lie
bound to believe them nj they were all houora-
bic men, and consequently he was bound 10 believe
that they were all Inconsistent lie then went into
IA examination OF what had been SAID pre and ron,
on the subject Of the plcdze contained Ia the bill.
Interference 10 the representative bigalion he was
happy 10 be supported by hi, rieod from Delaware,
who had sad that ht did not view himself MS the
| exclusive rcprescutatiyl Of Delaware. Now, lac
did not regard hmsal As The exclusive representa-
tive of his assumed constituents aud when he re-
ceyed some tine since Instructions from those who,
like himself merely representatives. Of others,
he thought thqm entitled to any tim; rather than
respect lie had answered them, and - believed
they were sincerely sorry they had ever passed
Jheit resolutions For Vhat with his snswer, and
what with their disposition Off they had managed
to make themselves supremacy ridiculous. He
wet on 10 state that Northern manu- &C u IS wo
deem themselves sufficiently protected by his bill,
aud that the possibility was, that the next arpea-
ton for projection would be from the South. lie
| Q:n declared that all the legislative efforts which
might he brought against the manufacturers would
never be found able 10 put down \ anheo industry
aud Yankee enterprise.
Mr. WRlCtHE then rose, ana statel tic defects
which he found IN the bill lie objected to the pro
posed rate OF reduction, iof the eight years aud to
the want ola uniform rule of valuation. lie oh
ected to the Unequal ~ of the protection gwen by
this bill. Ills next objection was that while the
duty negro cloth exists, II refuses 10 impose any
duty on the material which enters into that fabric,
and which is grown IN abundance ia lhls country
/ He also lccled to the system of home valuation
which he deemed 10 be mPractieablc or # p'aeti'
cable, mos, unequal and lac objected further 10 the
abolition uf all spec lfc and disseminating duties
and substituting mode unjust and oppressive
lie would not discuss the question Of the power al
Congress 10 project cur manufactures by imposing
duties foreign articles, but he thought that tins
! Bill did not sufficiently recognize that power TN
this point he quoted the language oi the address al
the Free Trade Convention which NIT last year IL
expressed his own opinion 10 be in favor OF lny'.s
inposts Tor the purpose of raising sufficient rcve
nue. fnr the wants of the country. Soiar he was
assured that the power to impose jules was vested
/ in Congress.
His strongest Objection to the bill was that il On
beavers to bind the action Of future Congresses. lie
considered this as a provision winch was PIctfle
/ in itself, and one which would neverbe considered
as binding. H then viewed the circumstances
under which Congress was chilled upon to act on
this bill, imperfect as IS. lie knew that he should
be charged with lcgis'aling under the influence 81
his fears lie could not suffer his fears to govern
his conclusions. But lac would not disregard them
/ There had been deep and settled discomfort IN
certain portion OF the country a9alusi our les'sa
ton and he could not bring himself 10 regard that
discomfort lightly
Under tho expression ofthat feeling, Congress
Ind done what if they had not done, would have
left the Union dissolved The operation Of that DIS
content was against the whole body ot laws Tor the
collection Of the revenue and woald fcauied on,
have DESTROYED ali the means Of the Govcnu nj.
And without the purse no Government could exist
He had therefore come to the question d eply in
pressed with the conviction that il was hs duty 10
+ Give his vote F., prevent sach an evil lie had
been long of the opinion that the revenue ought 10
be reduced II had also been long impressed with
a sense ofthc inequality of the tariff system. No
one had questioned the principle on whiclths bill
was founded il was only III reference TO the details
that difference Of opinion existed, part ct lie
country is deeply excited, deeply exaaPerated BY
what means it was not for him TO inquire bat the
condition Of thines was such as 70 render il ~
certain whether the Union caa exist even uitl, tho

done
