The question Of protection, MIR NJ. considered as
virtually the question Of national Independence
Without this England would keep dependent
upon her forever.
! Mr. NJ. said he was enemy to Southern labor
when sdvocdlng the protection ot the labor of the
North. lie never, tor his part, had been able to
look upon the people Of the North the natural
enemies OF the people OF the Cotton growing re:iors

our struggle for irccdom' The FIRST trigger thot
ever had been drawn IN this land IN resistance OF
Brush tyranny had been drawn by u yankee finger;

England man dcSN,JIrs. The country had at that
I day no manufactures. Tie conceived the idea at
attempting 20 supply the want; and from very m,l
and feeble beginnings the system OF New Ensnnc
manufactures grew up and prospered under a war to
/ which the New Engander had been utterly oppo-
sed. At length pesce came, and It found the
/ Yankee growing ht on his manufactures. (But

Britain at once awoks; size saw rising rvaI, and

the protection Of Government. But then " IS IN
