citizen who feels that he, in common with the plant

heavy and most unjust oppression takes leave to call the
attention Of tue Legislature, and Of the planters and far

law is one amongst many laws which have been permit
ted to remain force long after the reason Of the law
has ceased 10 uphold it,
If laws are Intended for the "general welfare of
States the reason which called our fence law into being
much more mperiousy demands its repeal than it ever
did its enactment Such manifest violation Of private
right can only be excused by paramount public bene
rates public injury, Il only be countenanced from
the most flagous motives. The Tariff, imposed for
the protection of domestic manufactures aroused large
portion of the Union and walked up an opposition, that
OF civil war!
The principles of that Tariff were not so unjust or
oppressive those of the tariff ence.law i'm.
poses upon ugrculture-not for the General Welfare
but 10 the manifest injury and damage of the Public
