THE INTEREST OF FARMERS IN THE
PROTECTIVE SYSTEM,

The enemies of the protection Of American
manu- features. have raised new objection to the
principle. They now say that manufactures are
fostered Wy the protective system, at the expense
Of the agricultural interests of New England Is
it possible that the farmers Of Vermont can lie de-
ceiyed by this falacy? II would I've almost mn I'M
necessary labor, to prove that our farmers ure as
much interested in the protective system, as man
uiacturers themselves. II is sell evident That the
products of our soil must find n home market, or
they must remain unsold. AT This moment nj
most every kind of agricultural produce IL cheap
er in the city Of New York, than here. OF course
then, our farmers cannot compete IN that market,
with those of the West. But by the encourage.
inent Of our manufactures market is created ut
home, aud the farmer generally finds n ready snle
for ali his producu. Test this by fncls Go into
the neighborhood Of any Of our successful munu-
featuring villages, and it will lie found that The
price of land is better sustained, aud better mar
ket IS furnished, in consequences oi the protective
system. Yet we find writer's N the loco(oco pa
peis who arc striving to convince the propIo That
manufactures are protected Mt the expense Of ag-
ricuure. Can such delusion prevail?
The principle Of the protective system is this :
it demands the protection OF every branch Of A.
nerican industry, Ivy the imposition Of proper
duties OH foreign articles which would Injurious
ly compete with the products of our industry
Agriculture should be protected as much as any
other branch Of labor hut in many instances it
needs, aud can have no direct protection by tnr-
iff rs in the case of " heat. This is not an ari.
Gle Of import. Il would therefore be ridiculous
and migratory to lay duties upon H. But in some
agricultural products the case is different. Take
for example Wool Sugar, and Hemp. The Wool
of Vermont the Sugar of Louisiana, and The
Hemp Of Kentucky H. or should be, projected
from foreign competon. The principle should
he carried out, uud il is by no means confined to
manufactures commonly so called. Every branch
of the mechanic arts. demands and should receive
protection. Ii will moi do for The enemies of pro-
lection to say that any one branch is neglected.
! The Wings acknowledge the principle; but per-
frrlion in the details of n tariff is impossible
Should it be found that omissions hive happened
Ihey must he supplied, but let no mnn on this ac-
count oppose the principle.
We rejoice that the farmers of Vermont are too
intelligent To he deceived by the faacies of the
locofoco press on this subject They know how
intimately the success OF manufactures, and their
own prosperity are connected and they will not
consent to the destruction Of the former unless
they ARE willing also to lcse the latter iiOiot

the honor Of the free States were regarded as OF
little importance excep, az q means OF promoting
the interests OF the slave States. At this period,
when all hope of supporting the rights Of the
north appeared about to expire, n most important
incident ranspired in the House of Representa-
tives of the United States John Quincy Adams
pre- sented petition to dissolve The Union sny
nothing in favor Of this petition it was however,
request that Congress would carry into effect
the threats which, for twenty five years. had been
put forth by southern statesmen II was request
hat those States, which had assumed 10 them
selves the control Of. the Federal Government,
might be left to take care of and protect them
selves. The proposition Mortified those who had
so onen menaced MS with the consequences now
prayed for by northern men.
The effect produced by this petition was most
important. Southern statesmen exhibited to the
world n consciousness Of their entire depsndence
upon The free Sidies 1t was distinctly uyowed by
one of their abest and most influential members,
that "he dissolution IF the Union you'd be the dis
solution Of SLAVERY" 1t showed to the people of
the free States, ind to the world, that our insu-
lions nnd national Independence must ever depend
upon northern ireemen for support. From this
moment northern men felt more conscious Of their
power, and of the importance OF our free instu-
lions of the north. The sceptre Of power then
departed from the south, and must hereafter be
swayed Ivy the NORTH il our people prove them
selves worthy of the high trust reposed in them.
1t is trus great efiUrts were subsequently made,
and will continue to be made, by members from
the slave Stntes, assisted Wy nor'he' n Democrats,
to stop the wheels OF that rrtonton IN the public
mind, which originated in the atcmpt to censure
the venerable Adams. But their efforts have on
~ served 10 twaten our people more fully TO the
maintenance vi our rights.

Who i, responsible ? The Wing party has been
in power in the national government, precisely
one month during the last fourteen years And
yet the locoocos would make them responsible
Tor the evils which oyerwhelm the nation. Four
teen years ago, we were the most prosperous ma
ton on the face of Tie globe. Now we nre de-
pressed almost to the verge Of ruin. We ask tie
honest, the intelligent frcemen Of Connecticut, to
decide, under this view Of the cnse. the question
of responsibility. Under the reign of ocofoco.
ism, we have seen State credit desIroyed-banks
increased TO such fearful extent as to result in
the almost entire destruction OF credit and bust
ness in some parts of the country and the value
Of property diminished ut least one half-while
those who hold it, being compelled to pay the
debts contracted under n different state Of things
IN many cases are wholly ruined
Such is the stare Of the country. And now we
ask who is responsible the wings, who in one
brief month, have been unable to right the ship Of
State : or the lucoiocos who, at the end of their
twelve years reign, eft her perfect wreck? Let
common sense answer Hartford Courier.
