at the North never Woulu nave dNt" :" ~
so decided ground against Protection as that
TO which they are now committed. 1t has cost
Mr. Van buren, an infinite labor to adapt MS
principles to each meridian. He knew that
absolute and decided hostility TO ffo.ec''oh
would utterly ruin him at the North WINE tfle
slightes, friendship 10 il would be equally fatal
at the South. With his usual cunning ne
has accordingly lacked and veered with the
shifting wind. At the North he Is never ceas-
ng in his professions CT friendship for "J"-
d;cious Tariff" while he is continually as
suring his Southern friends, by private letters,
not intended for the public eye, that he is decided
" opposed to the fundamental principle Of q Pro-
tectve Tariff.
But his cunning will avail him but little. The
extract we have given above is one among many
indications that the hostility of the South to the
doctrines OF Protection is daily becoming soitencd.
| Southern men begin to see that the only market
which can be permanent and profitable IS a Home
Market: that an exclusive devotion to any one
branch of Production ovcrstocks and INJURIES 1t {:
and that the true policy every country Is, 50 far
as possible, to become at once the producer and
the manufacturer ofthe articles of which stands
in need. The Address of the Georgia Commit
tee is conclusive evidence ofthis salutary change
in public opinion.
The other national questions are treated by the
Georgia Committee in the same decided and able
manner. In speaking of the modification Of the
Veto power they content themselves with point
ing out, from recent examples of It's fragrant and
most pernlcous abuse, as well as from its essen
italy arbitrary and ant-republican character, the
necessity Of some amendment in the provisions OF
the Constitution upon this subject still they de-
clare that the Wings have never, as their oppo-
nents assert attempted or proposed to effect this
modification, but to submit the propriety Of it to
the consideration Of the American People In
discussing the subject Of National Bank they
first show that the Loco Focos persist in reject
ing this and every other financial scheme
Of relief except solely the Sub-Treasury system.
The Pet Bank system, the Board Of Exchequer,
and all other plans that have been proposed they
have steadily rejected. If successful in the next
canvass say the Committee, they wiN then IN
told tic beauties and make yOu feel the grinding
rerations of the Sub Treasury system" The
constitutionality Of a National Bank IS then DEM
onstrated; the names of those great patriots and
statesmen who have maintained it arc set against
those by whom..it is denounced; and the fragrant
dishonesty of the attempt to make the U. ).
Bank proper responsible for the misconduct OF the
Pennsylvania State Bank is clearly shown aud
pontcdly marked. Concerning the distribution
of the Proceeds of the sales Of the Public Lands
the Committee present the following considera-
tons by which that measure Is recommended =
l. Under well regulated tariff, this fund time Of
peace, necessary the support of the Government
. Ii varies so much different years (rom hreeo
than twenty mons that Congress would be constantly
liable in the imposition OF duties excess, deficiency
of income.
g. The rapidly increasing population Of the new States
will after the next enable them 10 control this sub
ectunles therefore the distribution settled before they
acquire this power the old States would lose the disbutve
share, 10 which they are Justly entitled
A. 1t is extremely desirable that this fund should be with
drawn from the control of Congress- since it has for years
past served and continues serve, hobby which
political aspirants seek 10 ride into power.
1t important TO the States who embarrassed By
debts have this assistance in relieving themselves and TO
those who not, aid them in their works OF internal i'm
piovemeni In State In particular, IL would be
vastly beneficial in this view, since The completion of
State road would open communication between our own
IL westward.
These are the considerations which submit you
jus,ifng VIEW the policy Of ra,eabe distrbu
ton in time of peace of the proceeds public lands"
In concluding this most admirable Address,
the Committee take occasion to speak thus eo
quently and truly Of the great Statesman Of the
West, by whose election these fundamental prn
cipes of our national policy will be permanently
and securely established
