Resofred. That. when the District Of
C"lumbia was eeded by the states az Yir-
ginis and Maryland 10 the United States,
domestic slavery existed in bolh ar these
states. including the eeded territory. and
that - IL still continues in bath Of them,
u could moi be abolished within she dis
lrirt without violation Of that good faith
which was implied in the cession and IN
tie acceptance of the territory; nor, unless
compensation we're made 10 the proprie-
iors olslayes. without = manifest infringe
ment ri an amendment 20 the constitution
III the United States: nor without exciting
degree Of just alarm and apprehension
IN the states Recognizing slavery, Ear
iranscendIng. in misehieV0us tendency.
any possible benefit whirh could be sc-
eomPlished by the abolition.
In the way Of evidence. these two re.
solutions are worth al The articles which
have numbered The columns Of the Stan.
dsrd for The las, sir months.
The next charge is. that he is in favor
Of" shigh tariff" Upon thi. head also,
Mr.. Clay has been exPlici. and open. In
his speech in the Senate on the 10Th Of
March. in reply 10 Mr.. Calhoun on the
sub-,rcasury bill. he says:
"No one. Mr. President, in the COM
mencemen. Of the protective policy, ever
supposed that i. was 10 be perpetual. We
hoped and believed that temporary pro-
iselion extended 10 our infant msnufac-
lures would bring them up. and enable
them 10 Withstand competition with those
Of Europe. We thought. IS the wise
French minister did. who when urged by
British Minister 10 consent 10 the equal
introduction into the two countries OF
their respective productions. replied that
free trade might he very well for roun-
try whose manufactures had reached per-
feciion. but was nut entirely adapted IN
country which wished IN huili up lis
manufactures. II the productive policy
were entirely IN cease in 1892. il would
have existed % years from 1916, or Is
from 1894: quite - long as. NJ either of
those periods. its friends supposed nigh,
he necessary. Bu, !, does no, cease then.
and I sincerely hope that the provisions
contained in the Compromise Act for it,
benefit beyond tina, period. will be found
sufTicien, for the preservation Of all our
interesting manufactures. For one. an
willing to adhere To. aud abide By. the
Compromise in all its provisions, present
and prospective. if its fair operation 10
undisiurbrd.
The Senate well knows that have
bcen constantly in favor of a suict aud
faithful adherence 10 the Compromise Act.
| lave watched and defended il on all
occasions. I desire To see il faithfully
and inviolsbly maintained"
In this is there any thing 10 show tina.
he is in favor Of "a high tariff ," The
compromise act. al the time Of lis adop-
ton. was hailed with project satisfaction
BY the whole south. and Ia this acI he ex-
presses a determination strictly 10 adhere.
! II is true that he has always been in favor
Of fostering our infant manufactures, and
no patriot heart will fail to rejoice with
him in the blessings which have flowed
from ,ha, policy. And now that it has
placed US in equal competition with the
powers most advanced in civilization, he
eYul,s in the belief "tha, our cherished
manufactures will stand up and main
tain themselves against unnatural HOSTILE
~ a, home. and all Jealous rivalry abroad.
Again. the Standard Gays, Mr.. Clay is
in favor of internal improvement, by the
General Government. Bu, is this charge
any better founded than The others! Mr.
Clay, like many other patriotic men,
though. an extensive system nf internal
Improvements was essential to the pros
peri,y Of the country, aud some Of these
improvements he considered as properly
belonging to the General Government.
As friend to internal improvements, he
warmly advocated the land bill, thereby
10 enable the states successfully To pro-
secu,e them. But although ,hatneasurc
failed. the work has gone on, aud nov
