Being again in England in 1859, had conversation
with gentleman of high reputation in the economic
world in the course of which gave him come Of the
Dals.-adding that financial moral and political ruin
were in store for We continued on in our then
exist ng course, Of commercial policy. 81 regret 70
hear T." said be- "because you cannot have protec-
g tion We have now become so strong that We can
overcome all the resistance youmay make" In say
ing this he was right Our fourteen years Of freetr2e
policy bad SO far weakened US, wbia strengthening
them, that in the Union as il existed three months
since, the only effect Of any attempt at resistance muss
have been that Of tightening and Strengthening The
cord we had allowed 10 be thrown about our limbs.
Happily for u.s. however, If we know how toprolt
by the lesson We have received the Cotton Ststes
have row seeded and have thus Jeff free TO pusus
the policy by means OF which alone may repair the
damage done that has been done.
In proof Of the accuracy of my English friend above
referred To- pray you here TO look at the facts. thst
50regn Ministers now venture TO suggest what 1t C.
that their Governments may do if the tariff bill now
before the Senate shall become a law-thst forega
traders are now in Washington with millions at COM
mand, TO be used for preventing any changes Of tho
system that has brought about the present discordand
hat foreign bankers by their New York represents-
ives venture to assure our Senators that they mus
ook FOR no more loans except on the condition thst Leg

,ne can as think, study these things without finding

have supposed that the cause OF dscord was 10 be

pursuit Of policy that has led, and must everywhere

master be the laborer white, brown, or black.
Let us profit low by the Secession Of the Co.sos
States and we shall one year hence, have reason 70
return our thanksto Heaven for it, having been tho
means of saving the UniOn Let once again esssb-
sh our independence and the day will not then be far
distant when the Union viii again comprise the whole

the time will, think, socn DO seen when we shal
look back with feeling Of regret even TO the days q

Hoping soon 70 rejoice with you over the establish
