cess more sudden than ours, but not

this difference and found that in one,
industry in commerce, and agriculture,
aud manufacture was protected from ru.
inous composition; in the other, the ".
boring class was ieh unshi-lded, while
Government depended on the mines
and tropical fruits Of her colonies tc pav
for her foreign manufactures. That

made this full acknowledgement of au.
thority to save myself from constant
quotation. Having done this. ask at
tention to O few points in the speech Of
the gentleman from Massachusetts,.
The Rrs,, raiddle. and Inst idea Of that
speech, running through the whole. and
repeated in every form that can shun
tautology, is, that the manufacturers OF
wool, cotton, and iron. will depart from
New England, New York and Pennsyl
vania, md take up their homes in the
West. Its mild.st Interpretation is &
patriotic effort 10 liberalize bigotet
Northeast men through their fears.--
The plain Saxon Of it Is, an attempt Il
sound q sectional alarm, and create tn
impression that Northeast men wan
protection at the expense Of the res, o
the country. Nothing can be more un
Just. No man can make q forgery NOR
