Mr.. HtisOa's Speech upon tls TariQ.
The views Of a scns.be miu upoa mportan,
subject, with which he is conversant arc always
worthy OF public consideration. Thus persuaded,
we mako room for tho remark. Of MIR Hudson, oi
Massachusetts, upon the general question OF the
Tariff policy. Tho calm and dispa 5sionate manner
in which he discusses the subject, aud tho facts
which he sdduces to sustain his position, canno,
fail to have weight with all who honestly seek the
truth. The incontestible superiority OF home
market for agricultural products, and the iuli
mate eonnexion add dependence Between the manu-
featuring and agricultural interests, demonstrated
by MIR Hudson, are strong points in favor of the
policy he advocates, and, 10 our mind, are unan
sverable. But for the home demand. created by
our Northern Manufactures, where could we find

factories in Rhode Island, Massachusetts,, &c, the
People of Aceomac, for example, well know that
their corn would be a drug upon their hands. But
il the Northern people, instead OF consuming our
corn were to abandon manufactures, and devote
their labor to the cultivation OF tho soil-as they
must do, if the pauper labor OF Europe comes in
unrestricted composition with them-wc should feel
with double force the destructive effects of free
trade. Instead OF having market at our doors for
our products we should destroy that which exists
and create a competitor. The same remarks hold

These are not mere specuatiors-They arc Gocts

years-They are facts which ought TO have been i'm
pressed upon the public mind OF the whole country
10y the depression and stag nation OF every branch Of
industry which increased as We Appropriated tho
Free Trade point As the Tariff was reduced, and
English goods substituted the labor of our own ci,i
zens, the public distress increasei-the demand for
agricultural products diminished, and the country
was drained OF its specie.
But whether the Ta,iif policy be approved in the
abstract i, must, since the strange occurrences of the
late session OF Congress, be considered the esab
shed policy Of the country. The party, who had
been most boisterous IN their advocacy OF Free
Trade, had opportunity then to attain the long
sough, blessing. Blu, instead OF srasping it with
vdity, when thrust upon them, they seized
with sudden fright and reeoiled from it with hor-
ror They prayed to be delivered from Free Trade
with ON earnesness that betrayed the conviction

lie visited upon the land. II would (hey exclnmedl
ruin the manufacturing interest, in which millions oil
capital were embirked,-it would ruin the nsricul-
tursts-by depriving them OF market for their pro-
duee; it would disgrace the Government, 10y de.
