o the manufacturing interests Of the coun-

Try.
Resolved, That as the Constitution Of
the United States by the tenth section Of
the first article, has transferred from the
several States to the General Government
the tower of protecting the domestic IN.
dustrv Of the county, Ivy thn imposition Of
duties and ether commercial regulations,
it is incumbent On Congress to crcrcisr this
important prerogaiiye Of sovereignty Tor
the benefit of every bunch Of home-Iabor,
whether engaged in manufactures, com
merce, agriculture, or the mechanic arts.
Resolved That to the juiic'ou5 eXor-
else Of this power from the organisation Of
the Government to The present time, much
Of the uneXampIed prosperity OF this ma
ton is to be credited. and in no manner
have the BENEFITS of the protective policy
been more signaiy displayed than in the
palpabIp andrapidIy- y-deveIoped conscqnen~
ces Of the tariff act Of l842, yielding 10 the
Goucrnmcm abundant revenue, to the
manufacturer ample remuneration for his
investment Of capital, to the cperGliOc and
mrchaHic constant employment and good
wages, and to the agricuiturid a home mar
krt, sure and steady, Tor the products Of
the soil.
Resolved, That the cotlon-panting in
tcrest of the South, from which comes the
demand for change Of policy, has hcca
largely brnrfted by the protection of do
mpstic manufactures, in he creation Of
home market tor about one.siXlh Of the
whole prodUct Of its great staple, result
ing in competition which has ajrea1y
compelled the British manufacturer to de-
mnnd of Parliament thai American cotton
shall be admitted duty free into the British
ports.
Resolved, That, in view of these facts,
the repeal Or modification OF the existing
tariff, before any OF the predicted evils of
the system have been developed, and the
substitution in its stead OF a chjmcra, I'm,
der the deceptive and spurious tjlIr Of
"Free Trade,' known only, ats yet, in theo-
ry, would be disastrous to the present in
creasing prosperity Of the country, and
evince an instability in the administration
of the Government holly at war with the
soundesl principles Of political economy
"1he Union," the m0utrpoce Of the
Administration, in leading editorial, says
"lhe tariff is 10 he The great question, the
lioN Of the day." and adoeIs the language
Of another, who says "the Wings have
been unwise enough to stak" every thing
upon il. to sink or swim with the present
tariff" and predicts that they will 20 down
with il, and adds that "it will be II ju,trp.
ward for their folly in making this grvat is
sue hrlWppn the two parties" Th" Wings
make it il party issue! Not at all, 1t is
YOU, sir, and the Administration that have
raised this issue. By attacking the tariff
Of lG42 you have made it (vory uniformity
aPariy question, and appealed toJnur pat
ty presses and partIsan5 every where to
unite in this unhoIy crusade, and then turn
round and charge the Whigs with raising Il
party issue, Is this Garl Is it rundid}--
The Wings passed the tariff Of l&I3, and
they say let It alone. In the language ct
the Pittsburgh resolutions, it has "yiplded
to the Go0cIRmcm dbuHGuM rcycnur, to the
manufacturer ample remuneration for the
investment of his capital, to the operative
and methGmC constant employment and
good wages, and to the GsricuHmqa a home
market, sure and steady, for the products
of the soil" Sir it has vndicatcd its H.
dopton by all its fruits. u yoo assati il,
Tie W4igs toW @and By il as The ",hcei an
chor" Of The country and The couHry VW
stand By them. THE Union" is right when
it says "the Wings are willing to sink or
swim with it," and they wW Som with it
triumphanfIy on the broad ocean Of popular
favor, while the Administration, if they
persevere in their assaults upon it, will go
down; and the sooner and more certainly
If They succeed than if they fail. We hope
they will desst. The tariff ought not to
be a party question: it is too important to
be thus trihed with. but it has been well
said that "it it is a party question, the
British TURNER'S, manufacturers and mc-
chanicS are the parties on one side, and the
americans on the other and it is for .Amcri-
caA statesmen to say which side they will
take. viii you take the duties of LGlTIsHI
goods and put them on the .4mericaa peo.
ppl This the true issue. ."ThP Union"
