After the prayer host Of hearty ;reeuen,
with willing hands aud stomachs stayed be-
yond tho usual time, did iul justice To the
ample board, crowded with the sayoTy sub
stantials oT our cOuntry's production.
When the table was pretty we'll cleared of

great and small partook, the immediate ap-
pesrauce oi plentiful supply oi wine gave

HUCuANAN's TARIFF SPEECH.
| have been charged with ambition aud |
plead guilty to the charge, but have never
aspircd Ia higher honor than that of repre-
sentiDg this district in Congress. / have
never desired to make the most exalted and
honorable station in the gift OF my cOnstitu-
euts, the means of obtaining any Office in the
gilt OF the executive, and | trust l never
shall. 1t has always been my deliberate
opinion that no Office which the prosidon
can bes,ow, conters more honor than seat
in Congress Whilst the representative con
tinucs faithful to his constituents-while ho
acts in obedience to their will, he Is clothed
with their powers and when he chooses To
address the councils of his country II II not
only his own humble voice which ~ heard
but that oi 10 900 ireemen. They are his only
masters. lie is aud he ought to be indepen-
dent of every other human tribunal In a
republican government such a representative
must and will De heard-such "A representa-
tive must and will be respected. The reward
and the only Seward to whsS.: | have ever
aspired has been the appreciation OF my con
stituents and my country.
And now permit me to congratulate you
upon the passage OF the tarin at the last sos
sion of Congress. 1t is indeed a national
tariff. lts benign influence will be- foit in
every part of tho Union. The manufactures
of New England aud the farmer of Pennsyl.
Nania will equally flourish under its prOteC-
ton. 1t is the only tariff which has ever yet
passed Congress in perfect accordance with
the American system-a system which
equally protects American industry, whether
employed in agriculture, in commerce., or IN
anutaClurcs.
~ trust that the day is not far distant when
the East and the South will unite cordially
with their brethren of the Middle and West
ern states and we shall become one people in
support of the true American system. In
country blessed by Providence with the raw
material of almost every manufacture, and
with an industrious aud ingenious popula-
tiun, il would be mldEesS to dash away these
advantages and continue dependent upon
foreign nations for the uecessaries and COM
forts of life The United States embrace
such vast variety of soil, oi oiclimate, aud of
production, that under the influence of a
parental and protecting tarltt, we shall sup
ply nearly all the wants OF each other and
thus create an Immense internal trade which
will unite us together as band Ot brothers,
and be the most powerful means of perpetual
ing our happy union"
He next referred to Gen. Jack sons part in
procuring the passage ot the Lrtn ~ th"
Senate. He said 'What was the conduct
oi General Jackson upon THIS trying pccd-
sion He came from portion ot the Union
in which the universal sentiment of the
people were in opposition to the tarlD, but he
| scared above the prejudices of which he was
| surrounded. lie dared to serve his country
| at the risk II his popularity. The bill had
passed the House OF Representatives by a
majority of but votes. In the Senate the
| hopes OF the friends OF the tariff rested
| upon Gen. Jackson. Upon his iirmnesS and
patriotism they relied, and he did not disap-
| point their expectations. lie eXerted him
| self in favor of the bill, and without his aid
| firmly believe it would have been lost.
Had the two senators from Tennessee voted
against its final passage, as tho two senators
from Massachusetts did, the vote would
have been even, and the enemies oi the tariil
would in all probability have achieved the
