instce and public policy, instead of being subject
10 the uncertain action of political parties.
1t is, however, just, that the duty laid upon for
eipn products which come in competition with our
own should be faithfully collected. This the man
ufacurinr interest may properly demand. But the
introduction Of highly protective system would
lead to the rapid increase of manufacturing estaD-
shmeuts, not only in the North, but in the south
and West and more dangerous competition would
spring up at home, than, under any circumstances,
can come from abroad The expenses OF manu-.
featuring are daily diminishing in this country, and
the contest with other nations is soon to be deter
mined by the intellectual and moral power, rather
than the manual force OF the laborers That coun-
try which has The most intelligent aboring popula-
ton will excel in every branch OF industry
We have, also. TO anticipate changes IN our MODES
of business, which will diminish the cost OF manu-
featuring The active business will be performed
BY principals themselves, either shareholders or
coDartner owners, and the expensive and cumbrous
system of agencies and factors abolished. lhls
anticipate from the voluntary action of the propre-
tors themselves and not Fl ON the interference OF the
Legislature. AS people we must exist and pros
per with the world, and not by exclusion from It,
Cheap and rapid communication upon the sea, and
the removal OF barriers travel and transportation
upon the land, are enemies TO the restrictive sys-
TEN. The extent Of our commerce rs the evidence
of our prosperity. Every vessel added TO our com
mercial marine is not only messenger OF clVlliza-
ton but it increases the value OF each mans labor,
and enables him to purchase and enjoy more OF the
necessares and Injuries produced ny the labor OF
o Their men.
You have gentlemen, authorized the Executive
TO invite Louis Kossuth to this Commonwealth
This trust will be cheerluly and faithfully executed.
Your action will be regarded expression OF the
sympathy Of Massachusetts for the distinguished ex-
lie, and for the of European liberty, which he
so truly represents. The common sentiment of

ments Nor will this sentiment be satisfied with an
individual, unofficial expression. 1t will also de-
mand, throughEthe dip lomatc agents Of the country,
a distinct declaration on the part OF Austria and
Russia as to their future purposes. If these gov
ernnenls shall assert the right Of interference in the
domestic affairs of European nations, or shall decline
to make a distinct declaration upon this ponl, It
would seem proper for our government TO give them
notice that we assert on our part equal right to
interfere in favor OF republican constitutional
governments, reserving TO ourselves OF course the
power TO Judge OF circumstances and the necessity OF
interference events traspire.
If, however, contrary to our expectations, Austria
and Russia should to the doctrine Of non-in-
terventon our object will have been gained. We
cannot, in any view of the subject, quietly submit to
the absorption of the smaller states Of Europe by the
larger, and the final subsection Of all to two or three
allied despptSms.
Such movement will not only be fatal to our
commerce. but the general industry and free prin-
ciples Of America.
GENTLEMEN:
Your action has increased and strengthened my
obligation to the people. l shall seek TO indicate
my sense Of its nature by faithful discharge of the
duties to which | have been calle take this oc-
cason to announce my determination not to be can
ddate forre-eecton, and to you ofmy purpose
under Divine Providence, to labor in private life
with equal zeal and greater freedom for the welfare
and honor of the Commonwealth.
