VINO was ever IN laYor oil the Genera!
Government assuming Slate debts? Who
ever contended for It?
l. That Justice and sound policy forbid
the federal government 10 foster cne branch
OF industry to the dctriment Of another, or
to cherish the interests Of one portion to
the injury Of another portion OF our COM
mon country; that every citizen, and every
section Of the country, has right to demand
and insist upon an equality Of rights and
, privileges, and TO complete and ample posi-
ton Of person an. property from domestic
violence or forign aggression.
5. That it is the duty Of erc-y branch Of
thc government 10 enforce and practice the
most rigid economy in conducting cur pub
tic affairs. and that no more reveuue ought
to be raised than is required to dcfray the
necessary expenses Ct the government and
for the gradual but certain extinction Of tie
debt created by the prosecution Of a just and
necessary war, after peaceful relations shall
have been restored.
Why 90 ~ Tie tariff in this roundabout
way? Why trouble themselves to lay down
principles about which there was no con-
troyersy?
8. That Congress has no rower 10 char
ter national bank; that we believe such an
institution one Of deadly hostility to the best
nercSts Of tie country; dangerous to cur
republican institutions and the liberties of
the people, and calculated TO place the busi-
ness Of the country within tie control of a
concentrated money power, and above the
laws and the people; and that tie results of
Democratic legislation, in this and all other
financial measures upon which issues have
been made between the two political parties
o. the country. lave demonstrated 10 candid
and practical men Of all parties, their sound
ne,s, safety and utility IL all business pur-
suits,
Ifthe Ghost of the National Dznk were TO
cease 10 haunt the Democratic party, what
would become of them? There was atims
when National Bank was necessary, but
there is no necessity for II row. Nobody
wants National Bank-no6ody in the Union
is talking about q National Bank.
:. That Congress ha. no power under the
constitution 10 interfere with or control the
domestic Institutions Of the several States,
and that such States are the sole and proper
Judges Of everything appertaining to their
own affairs, not prohibited Ly the constitu-
/ toni that all efforts of the Abolitionists or
! others made to induce Congress to Interfere
with the question of Slavery, or to take
lncipient steps in relation thereto, are cal
cUiated TO lead to the most alarming and dam
Eerous consequences; and that all such efforts
have an inevitable tendency TO diminish the
( happiness Of the people, and cudanger the
( stability and permaHency OF the Union, and
ought not to be countenanced BY any friends
Of our political Institutions.
Why didn't YOU sticl. in territories? 1t
is probable that few abolitionists advocate
interference by Congress with Slavery in
the territories, but it is not the doctrine Of
Of any party.
In Ills manner lIr. Anderson went
through the resolutions, showing that they
contained nothing but general principles, and
very lille abou: which there might be any
controversy.
! lie then SAID They tell you the Wings
have 10 principles. But say that Wing
principles are impressed on the broad land.
They are displayed IL the boncfcent results
Of Internal improvements and the Tariff.
The tariff is more beneficial to agriculture
than it has credit for. 1t takes lavge num-
bcrs from the business Of agriculture, and
employs them in that OF manufacturing.
!. From producers they become consumers.
Throw them out Of employment; take them
from the coasu-.inc class, and add them to
the producing class, und Inc change would
be felt very severely by the agriculturists.
We must look to home consumption for our
! markets, for or agricultural products are
mainly consumed in this country. Destroy
the manufacturing interest, and put the
r manufacturers to producing, and your corn
q and beef viii be worth nothing. BY whom
has that interest been built up?-by the
Wings. They are now so permanent as to
r need but little protection: a revenue tariff,
discriminating in favor Of protection, being
= sufficient.
Mr.. Anderson referred 10 Henry Clay in
f terms SO eloquent, and glowing with such
= warm enthusiasm, hat we felt unable TO dc
!. the speaker or the subject justice, and list.
ened without thinking of reporting, Mr.
. \. said that if Mr.. Cloy's bill for the distri-
j button Of the sales Of the public lands had
been passed, Missouri would to-day be in
possession OF $4,ooo,oCo arising from that
source, which might have been applied t1
internal improvements. But the Democrat,
resistedth the Wings in this also.
Mr., Anderson then gave a noble and
+ truthful culogy upon Fillmore and Webster
Justly remarking that American dignity
4 and American honor never stood higher
:. than at the close Of this brilliant Wing ad-
r ministration; not surpassed in ability by any
