thing Only-and that is, want Of prudential and

If, as some1wfiters on domestic economy have
maintained, that the change JIM the scaleof prices
is about one third, it should be remembered on
the other hand, that busnesscanbe carried NOV
with about two-thirds the amount of capital. The
competitive scheapness, too, Of food, clothing, all
kinds DC stock, building materials, &C., is SO well
graduated and balanced that no one particular in
terest Can long have u decided advantage over an
sotIer,a While We hold p the doctrine, that COM
petition is the life Of trade. we know Of no way
by which this principle can be carried out nation
ally, but by Protective Tariff So long as the
prices Of labor in Foreign countries are extremely
low, and our markets are perpetually glutted with
their productions, what can enable our own manu-
factnrers at home to enter into competition with
them, but the present wise and equitable Wing

II Is fact, which experience alone can test, that
nothing is wanting but activity perpetual and UNI
interrupted activity and economical acti-
vityA The sound Of the energetic voice of the
sturdy Farmer, in guiding his plough and driving
his tear--the uninterrupted schiz of the factory
spindle, the clang and the din Of the Workshop
the buz and hustle Of the Merchant these are
the indications of thrift--these are the welcome
sounds that speak Of action ersevering action
prompt and untiring action !9f.o a$
Isl No man lives for himself alone. The Farmer
aids, the Manufacturer and the, Manufacturer in
his turn assists the Farmer-the Mechanic has his
share Of patronage from both--and the Merchant
holds his important commissions from all--and the
Professional Man must be upheld and supported by
the fundamentally of all. No one particular class
in community can exist Independently Of all the
others. The interests of the whole are mutual,
and therefore, it follows matter Of course, that
all should be promptly and cheerfully sustained
for if they fall, they fall together-if they suffer
loss, they suffer loss together-but if they are vgo-
rously maintained, they are vigorously maintained
together.
#" Under the protection of the Tariff, we see at
once, that domestic market is Immediately crea-
ted and this market is not liable to many chan
ges and fluctuations as foreign markets are-or all
the implements of industry are put in motion, with
the certainty that the articles manufactured, will
command good market, at reasonable and suffi-
GENTLY profitable prices. If the Tariff has some
slight defects, they can easily be overcome, and
need not retard the propress of the enterprising
and Industrious population of New England, of the
whole Grand Circle Of the Union.
" The time may perhaps come, though we should
not ardently desire tive say, the time must come,
when grasping England, now stretching her arms
abroad to compass sea and land, will share the fate
of nations who have gone before her-who, by aim
ing at universal dominion and exclusive monopoly,
fell when they least expected downfall-fell,
more by the weight of their own internal corrup-
ton, than by any external causes whatever. But,
in this country. we believe that we are right
at least far circumstances enable us to main
tain the right-we have every possible reason in
the world for asserting, what amounts to an almost
absolute demonstration, that the arts and sciences
are to concentrate their influence in these United
States. The Divine Being who created US and con-
stituted US peculiar people, has given power to
US here, that has rendered us independent Of all
other nations. He has beautifully provided the
inhabitants Of America with resources that no for
eigners can command or put into requisition.--
Look at the variety of soil and climate, and the as
tonishing facilities for inter- communication,
Throughout the whole extent of this favored land
Look at the innumerable mountains of lofty gram
,deur, in which are imbedded inexhaustible nine
raj treasures. See the magnificent lakes, and the
majestic rivers, which are so admirably adapted to
all the purposes Of interior navigation. Behold
the well tmbered forests, and the fertile plains
and vallies.2 Examine the vast quarries Of free
stone, coal, and marble. As no country on the
earth, then, contains 50 great and never failing
variety Of internal resources, likewise, no other
people possess the same degree of skill and enter
