For what inducemen, may we hope tina, even
this concession may be nader Undoubtedly the
only inducemen, we could hold out TO England
would be a modification of the tariff of the United
States This proposition may seem unwise, be-
cause the tariff is not for revenue only but for pro-
lection also; and how far both or either Of these
objects could be firmly maintained under any mo-
dhcatlon Of the tariff, is question Of great deca.
cy and great difficulty. My experience has not
given me clear knowledge Of it, bu, this do know
that by making the tariff stable and firm, we
shall render it healthful and judcious. If by any
great operation that should unite the interests and
opinions Of all parts Of the country, we can place
the protection of American Industry and Amcri-
can labor a permanent foundation, that is a
much more important consideration than the de-
gree 10 which protection may be extended De
pend upon it, gentlemen, it is change and appre-
hension Of change that unnerves every working
mans arm in this section Of country. Changes
felt or changes feared, are the bane of our indus
try and our enterprise. l live in quarter OF the
country full of industry, with some capital and
great activity; and when go among my neigh
bors they ask, for Gods sake, tell us what to ex-

ment and we will apply our industry and our
capital and our skill TO the state Of things, be il

you intend to do, and stick to ii. Laughter and
applause-) Now am Of opinion that if there is
any policy capable Of combining the north and
south, and east and west, stamp that with perma-
nence for twenty years, and it would be better and
better every year, and the country would be more
prosperous than it has been for years past.
We close by copying the following remarks on
the Speech from the New York Tribune.
Mr.. wcbster's Speech
Able and cogent as Mr.. Webster's Speech at
Baltimore certainly is-luminous and just as are
many Of its views, and valuable is the inforrna
ton therein presen,ed-we must dissent entirely
from its tenor and evident purpose. Mr.. Webster
urgues against his own facts. He shows clearly
that we have bundered OF been duped in our Re
cprooity Treaties, so called-that we have los
by them and damaged our Navigation in,ercs, very
seriously; and then he undertakes to persuade VI
10 involve ourselves far more seriously after TN
same fashion. 1t is as though joker shold say Il
a simpleton, "My clever fellow, you have put you
hand in the lions cage and had couple OF fingers
bitten off suppose you now try the experiment q
putting your head inl shouldn't wonder if yo,
I made good spec. of it," 1t strikes US that IN
