Mr.. STANLY desired to know how the gentleman from
Georgia in order
The CHAIRMAN ruled that the gentleman from North

Mr.. STANLY continued. As long this country should
remember the name of Andrew Jackson SO long would
they remember with gratitude his public services Ever
since Gen. Jackson grew estate he

Jefferson and Madison and every other who desired

abandoned because it could not be out that feature
being mpraeticabe. He maintained that the history OF
the country showed that protecton far from being
abandoned by the compromise OF 1892 secured and
intended to be secured by it, by Clay Clayton and other

South Carolina right or wrong, there was no giving
way her part-nene--hisory would be so made up
until the Government whether right wrong gave way
This what he had said.
Mr. sTANLY The gentleman said more than that. He
said that the Government in giving way abandoned the
principle of protection.
Mr. STEPHENS said that he had asserted that the Co

did maintain her position, and stood up to it, until Gen
Jacksons party here let their hoa III there any

Mr. STANLY said that he did not refer TO South Caro-
