MR.. CALHOUN'S SPEECH.

The speech of Mr.. Calhoun on the larli
bill, delivered in the Senate yesterday was lis
tened to with great attention by a large audi,
dience 1t was mastery effort-comprehen-
sive and coucise-overturning fallacious sy stems
in one breath, and depicting the operations and
results of stupendous principles in another.
Although we are frank to admit that his
speech was replete with momentous truths,
vet we differ with him as TO the propriety and
expediency of the application of his tavorlte
principle, at thepresent time, as remedy Tor ex-
listing evils, which all must confess are the result
of defective egisation-defective, because the
interests of party have been subserved, IN
stead of country.
But we shall take occasion to review this
speech at length. 1t is only our purpose at this
time to say word about protection. That
protection is the main object OF the bill which
has been discussed in the Senate, there can be
no doubt That tariff on certain articles,
amounting to prohibition, for the purpose OF
building up monopoly for one class, while the
great mass of the People are taxed for purposes
of revenue, and portion of this revenue Gas
much a, the land fund) is distributed to certain
stockholders, to whom the State are indebted, IS
unconstitutional. is equally obvious. But that
in levying duties on imports tor the pur-
pose of raising revenue, all protection Is
accidental, as was remarked by Mr.. Calhoun,
we must deny. To our apprehension such pro-
lection is inevitable To raise a sufficient rev.
enue on imports for the purposes OF an econo-
mical administration of the Government, (and
we agree with Mr.. Calhoun, that the expenses
can be brought down five millions below the
estimate of the Chairman of the Committee on
Finance, it is absolutely necessary to impose
duty on articles manufactured in this country,
as well as those that are not And the duty
must go above 20 per cent. to raise enough re-
venue then. And this incidental or inevitable
protection would satisfy the manufacturers. 81
But there must be no prohibition. We would
prefer Free Trade and direct taxation. Any
extreme policy will render the system unstable.
Instability is what is running the manufactu
rers. A revenue bill (not such "bill OF aboml-
nations" as Mr. c. termed the one now on the
cooling -board) will afford all the protecton-in-
cidentally, accidentally, or ineoitably-that the
intelligent manufacturer desires. Let Congress
repeal the Distribution law, Cor suspend 1t tor
twenty years, till the national debt is paid,) and
pass such revenue bill as the President re-
commended, and the welfare ofthe manufacture
ing, as well as all other classes, will be fixed on
a permanent basis. If this is not done, 1t will
eternally be party question, and always sub
IL, Ctnn
could fix this ''bill of denominations" on the Peo-
pie this year, it would be torn to pieces the next
when the Republicans will be in power Even
now we have Republican President who vii
not shrink from his duty.

THE MAJORITY IN CONGRESS AND THE
TARIFF.

From present appearances, it would seem the ma
iorty in Congress are determined to defeat any Tariff
bill that may be brought forward for the purpose OF
revenue Well be it 50, with them the responsibility
rests they cannot, by any species OF trlckery de-
ceye the people upon this subject. 1t is now per-
fecly understood that the President is anxious that
the people should have what they have long been seek
ing for a Tariff which, while 1t raises revenue SUI
fcient to meet the wants OF the Government, at the
same time operates as protection 10 American IN
dustry And what reason is assigned by the Wing
majority in Congress for not passing such bill p
Simply that the President will not consent to violate
the Compromise act, by continuing In force the Dis
tributon act after the tariff OF duties Is raised above
90 per cent And is this sufficient reason for them
to refuse this relief to the country Do they expect
the neope to be satisfied with such excuse If they
do. we can assure them they are deceived; nor do
the people believe the majority are sincere IN these
reasons but they look forward to the real reason,
which is the advancement OF Mr. Clays interest, and
to enable him to reach the PRESIDENTIAL char. FOR
this purpose all the hopes of the manufacturer must
be blasted and ruin must be brought upon the indus
rious classes of our citizens Ii the Wings are sin
cere in their preensons that tn are in favor of
Tariff why not at once pass one leaving OIL the ds-
ribution clause What interests have the manufac-
turers to have that continued in force None what
ever, except it be the mandatory started at Wash
ngton for making Presidents. They know full well
that as soon as Tariff bill has passed, their factories
must STOP hence their determination to defeat It, :
Can the people shut their eyes to these facts! WIN
they for the sake of eecting Henry Clay to the Pre-
sdency, abandon all principle all sense of honor of
Justice, and of right, and in the language of the
Wing song,
ssWihout why or wherefore,
Vote for Harry therefore,"
regardless of consequences to themselves and to their
country2 We think not we believe better things of
the majority of the citizens of our republic Let
them besege Congress with petitions upon this sub
iect asking them to abandon their frutless warfare
upon the President and go to work for the benefit Of
the country And should Congress dare any longer
reject their appeals let them speak this fall through
the ballo-box in that will put those Presl-
dent makers in mind that they are, as yet, the SER
wants and not the masters of free people If they
continue in their present course, and finally adjourn
without passing revenue bill, they may bring ruin
upon their country and upon her Industrious citizens
for time, but upon themselves they will bring last
ing infamy and disgrace. Let it be borne in mind
with whom the responsibility rests and teach these
unfathfu servants that they cannot always thus rie
with their constituents.

DIALOGUE.

Home Leaguer.-But repeat the higher we
raise the duty the lower the article will be pur-
chased, as England must have the trade of this
country for her immense manufactures, and will
reduce the cost prices precisely as much as we
make he5duty.
Rep,lblcan-I admire your logic. Ii is ca
pital, and am fully convinced. Let us at
once put up the duty on each article to the &C
tual price ofthe article, and as England ''mmsf
haze the trade of this country for her immense
manufactures" we shall get all our goods for
nothing, and have the duty for the Government
to boot.
