The Cecil Whig., 1844-02-17

Tcullufal 10 manufacturing pursuits, we
are then led 70 the conclusion from vari.
oys considerations, that protective Tar
III 10 aa increased extcpt would be the
best remedial measure for our various
emharrassmchts that government can en-
act; tending 10 reinsrale our credit abroad,
our finances and currency al home; and
more called for in view the future wants
OF ah increasing population. We are led
to view the internal management of the
currency, as a secondary question, after
we pay our deh's and buy back or gain
somehow, gold and silver enough to base
any safe floating currency upon, equal
10 The business wants of the people; and
after the General Government is economi-
cally supported out of the revenues, the
embarrassment of the states and their
riaims 10 the public lands, is such as TO
call for distribution, Of any balance re-
manning out Of their sale.-Considerirg
these measures promo,ive and essential to
The prosperity Of tle peopic--lhat they
arc ayowedly and practically the lavorie
measures III the catalogue of wing policy

ence into their ranks; and extend coldia!
