against free trade, There is such question no such
issue. We 'Qhe democracy are ior revenue tariff;
and revenue tariff gives incidental protection to the
amount of the revenue, which is and which will con
tinue 10 be $4,000 That's to say revenue tariff oper-
aies incidentally TO the protection of our manufactures
and as as bonus to our manufacturers to the amount
OF $25 600. 1t would seem that, il avarice were moi
Unsuitable that ought to be sufficient BY the census Of
OF lS4O The statistics show about three hundred thou
sand manufacturers in the United States One-hird of
those are manufacturers of heavy machinery which
can be manufactured here cheaper than they can be
manufactured IN any foreign country and transported
here; consequently they require protection nor do
do they receive any. Then we have but two hundred
thousand left to protect. venture to assert that one
hundred thousand of them are subjects of Great Britain
and one-ha the capital vested IS British capital and
what American can ee an interest in fostering British
capital and British capitalists, who whether they live
on this side of the Atlantis the other sde are En-
giishmen enemies to our free Institutions in peace and
enemies tc our country in war; q speak with some ex-
ceptons) who, in our last war; when called Upon 10
support the government defend the country, and repe
the enemy claimed to be subjects of Great Britain, and
under the protection Of Queen Victoria We are will
ling that the manufacturers shall have protection to the
amount OF revenue that an economical administration
OF the Government requires but no more and when the
garb that covers the corruptons and denominations Of
this potectiee tariff system shall be torn off, and its de-
fOrmities exposed the people will scout it fcm the land,
and overthrow its iniquitous supporters Isay that two
hundred thousand English and American manufactur.
es Of each an equal number receive bonus from the
pockets Of the people by incidental protection to the a.
mount Of twenty five millions of dollars annually The
return Of the last census show the population of the u
nited States to be about eighteen millions. What kind
OF policy it that taxes seventeen millions of peo-
people for the benefit oftwo hundred thousand and half
OF them British subjects and the other half rich capital
ists2 Will the south and the West longer bear with
system policy which at their expense make two hun
dred thousand British subjects and American capitalists
the recipients Of Government bounty to the amount Of
upwards OF twenty-five millions of dollars annually by
way OF incidental protection; and in in addition makes
them recipients oftweny millions more by way of pro-
tection2 say again sir that such violence and base in
justice will be tolerated no longer than till it Is under
stood by the people But this protective system to make
it plausible is called patrotic and this BILL which has
for its object to reduce the duties or taxes upon the peo
ple is called British measure, and its friends are de-
nounced as friends Of British industry and patrons Of
British manufactures Sir, such charge is both in
solent and false The political history Of this country
will show who the British party is.
Imake the assertion (and defy successful contradc
tion) that in each and every question and measure
that has ever arisen in this Government that had an
American side and British side, the fedetalists have
stood by and defended the British sde and that British
feeling has been recprocated by their British friends in
England In the great political struggle ls40 there
was mitch interest felt tor the success of the federal
lists across the Atlantic by the British money mongers
as there was by the British Federalists on this sde
will ask attention while read some extracts from some
of the red and broad mouthed tory papers OF London
and other glaces ih England and although the Ameri-
can Democracy were kept in darkness as to what mea-
sures the federalists would carry otta declarations
Of principles keep "f7Om The public eye"-the money
mongers Of England were we'll informed, and spoke
knowingly on the subject. -. ....,.s.. -a

"By the election of General Harrison, the Wing can

Of the Government to a sound and rational system of
banking will follow matter of course; and possibly
the United States Bank may once find itself under
the protection Of OF proper charter The rejection OF
Mr. Van Bureh will be decisive of The fate of the Sub
treasury scheme. That insane piece of legislation will
be most assuredy knocked on The head and we shall no
