while his fellow Nd the South found Il e.

the teeaning soil aud genial climate Of his
own sunny South. Therefore, st the for:
asssion Of the Govsrnmsns the two see.
tions presented themselves. one - Sea
fearing. with fishing ~ its chief oecupa-
tion; the other % agricultural.
But seen the Yankees came M with
representations Of this sort :--Fishing il
pser business. said they; il dcseu's pay;
but hshing ought to be encouraged for na.
tional purposes. therefore, let us not onlv
protect Yankee-caught 6sh in aur markets

But when it Was obvious that " could
get seamen in abundance without drawing
uPss any such nurssry. the South sought,
but the North steadily and persis:sntly
refused. thsir assent to . repeal Of the
Fishing -beunty Act.
The South held that in the eyes Of the
Federal Cevernment I'll citisens were
equsl. that al the States stood on the
s.ms footing. thst the Union WAS fsrm-
ID. not Tor individual. but for the common
gssd. and that Congress h.d no right to
tai any eitisea or class Of sisissns ior the
bsse6s Of another. The Federal compac,
required tESes 10 BE- equal. and all eisi.
sens. lsbofs and Industry to be taxed

Such was the Southera doetsins, and such
