Mr.. SLADE addressed the House for two hours
| and half entering into the general subject, in ia
yor of protective tariff, and advocating the ref

made the basis Of his speech resolutions adopted
! by the Legislature of Vermont, instructing their
| Senators and requesting their Representatives to
| do all in then power Tor the adoption of protec-
tive tariff. The committee on manufactures was
| the offspring OF protective policy. Into an
examination of the origin and history Of this pol

been a settled policy of Government, hc referred
nj length to Messages Of Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, J. q. Adams aud Jackson, all of whom
had favored it. lie pointed out clearly the benefits
Of the protective policy, no, only TO the North, but
tn all portions of the country. Without protec-
ton the market in the North for the great staple
of cotton would he destroyed; the Sothern cot
ton would in ten fifteen years hc superseded in
the British market by the cotton OF their Fast India
possessions, and IL was utterly suicidal policy Tor
the South to undertake TO PROSTATE the manuiuc-
turing interests; it would soon appear so, and tho
time WINS not far distant when they wCuld have
most efficient support from gentlemen from tho
j Southern States in inv OF THIS policy.
