as would be the material advantage resulting
from an adjustment of your tariff strictly to
the revenue standard, the moral advantages
would be greater. As Mr.. Burke philosophical
ly remarks, the spirit of liberty in modern So
ciety inheres in the taxing power. And there
are no people more sensitive upon this subject
than the people Of this confederacv.
1t cannot be denied that the taxing powers
of this government have been exercised un.
justly to the section to which belong. We
are not ignorant Of our wrongs, whatever may
be the patience with which we endure them.--
You have fortunate opportunity of remodel
ing your financial policy On great principles of
truth and justice. Will you avail yourselves
of it | trust you will. Before us is a future
more glorious than was ever given to any pa.
triot in any age to look upon. 10 realize it,
it is only necessary for those in whose hands is
the direction of public affairs, to elevate them
selves to the dignity of their mission, and, ris-
ing above class and sectional ideas, advance
boldly in the path oftruth, Justice and the Con-
stituton. Place the foundations Of your Gov
ernment in those great principles, and faction
and anarchy and fauatcsm will in vain seek
to impede our triumphal progress to prosperity,
to greatness, and to glory. Under the influ-
encc of these IDEAS the star of our destiny, a,
it wheels its maj ectic course, full circle, flaming
through the mighty armament, Sublimod with
the grandeur of its hopes, would move the uni
verSal human heart, for in its wonderouS asccn.
sion, men would see the impulsion Of G"d
| have thus endcavored to put forward these
great principles upon this subject which have
been So long and so ardently cherished by the
State of South Carolina. The master intelIectS
with which she was able in the past so glorious
ly to illustrate these principles, have fallen into
eternal night. The light Of their genius still
flashes along the pages of your history, but
they are no longer OF the earth. To those Of
us who have succeeded them upon this arena,
remains only the humble task Of maniIesting
our fidelity to the great truths which they in.
cuIcated.
