MR. MONROE,
Says in his inaugural address-"Our
manufactures will likewise require the
systematic ard fostering care OF govern
ment; possessing, as we do, ell the raw
materials, the fruit of our own soil and
industry, we ought not 10 depend in the
degree we have done on the supplies
from other countries; while We are thus
dependent, tho sudden event Of war un
sought and unexpected, cannot fail 10
plunge US in the most serious Difficult
lies. 1t Is important, TOO, that the capl
tai which nourishos our manufactures
should be domestic, and its influence iD
that case instead OF exhausting, as it
may do in foreign lands, would be felt
advsntageously on agriculture and eve
ry branch OF industry; equally impor-
tant is it 10 provide a home market for
our raw materials, as by intending the
competition it will enhance The price
and protect tho cuItivator against the
casualties incident to foreign markets"
Such was the judgment Of that wise and
patriotic Republican, Mr.. Monroe. Mr.
Adams, his successor, held the same
doctrines, and, it is remarkable fact,
! that while the different chief magis

other great matters Of public policy,
with regard to the conslitulioDaltv and
