Is congresslonul protection of manu factures a violation of the constitution Ihis is an important question, which has never, it is believed, been fully dis cussed. It ouglit to have been Hnally set tled long since. henever, of late years, the question of protecting the industry of that useful and nuiiiei'ous portion of our citizens en gaged in furnishing a domestic market lor the flour, the beef, the pork, the mut ton, the latnb, t!iO poultry, the vegetable, the spii'its, the cotton, the wool, the hides, the skins, the hair, the tallow, the timber, the hemp, the flax; the coals, the iron, the lead, the copper, of their fellow citizens w!io cultivate the soil, or explore the bowels of the earth for hidden treas ures, has been agitated, a formidable op position has been excited among tliose very fellow citizens, on the ground of the constitution presenting an insuperal)le bar—thus unwisely, as far as in them lay, endeavoring to depress and diminish the. number ol their best customers and sup porters. In many cases the opposition to meas ures contemplated or adopted, arises Irom the address of designing men ex citing the passions and prejudices of the ignorant and uninformed. This is by no Jiieans the case in the present instance. 1 lie opposition embraces some of the most enlightened and estimitble citizens in the Uiiiied States, John Taylor, of Caroline, whose talents and rectitude were never called in (jnes'ion, was a lea der ol this school. A giiverncr of one of the southern stales, \’itj;inia, I believe, denounced the system in urecent message iothe legislative body—and in the legis- • aiMieol South ('arolinu, a resoluton, de- clai iiii^ such piotection unconstituliunul, >\as lately brought in, and probably pas- “ Resolved, That it is an unconstitu- iijiial exercise of jiower on the part of j ■ >iigress, to lay duties to protect domes-1 tic muiiufactures.” | While the intelligence and integrity of i the ojjjiusers of protection, are freely ad mitted. It may be confidently asserted, , that an e(jual portion of integrity and in-; iflligence has been arrayed on the oih-^ er side of the question. j In this conflict of opinions, it is well | worth while lo investigate the subjtcti thoroughly, and Mscertain wlvellier mere he any clue to guide us in our researches, and to establish the soundness of the doc-j iriiie, beyond the power of controversy. The power of congress to impose du-! lies, restrictions, and prohibitions lor the j protection ^of our citizens enj'af^ed in commerce, has' never been once iin;)ugn- ed. And it would be diflieult to prove! that it is not equally the right and obli-1 {'ution of congiess to impose duties, res-j ir'ctions, and prohibiliotis for the protec tion of aiiollier class of citizens, certain-' ly not less useful, und at least ten' tilues as numerous. In the first session of the third con gress, the duties on teas imported in A- merican vessels, av; raged 12 cer.ts per ])ound ; whertas on those imported in foreign vessels, the average was twenty- seven cents—being a differetice of 125 per cent, for the protection of navigation and commerce. This, with imjiurtial and unbiassed minds, might probal^y be admitted lo settle the question. Jiut it would be man.lest injustice to cotiline it o this support, when others, proi>abIy more coi^ent, may be statech 'i'he first congress contained, probably, one-half of the members of ihe conven tion that framed tlie constilutio!!—and, moreover, many of the most sirenuoiis ojiposers of tlr.it constitution. 'I'he I'or- er class could not, by any possiijilily, be mistaken as tcj the tiue extent and tiicaultig' of that instrument. In that congrt’ss certaiidy were men as hii;h- mituh'd, as pure, and as eiili};-hteiied, as any citizen., (jf the jjresitit (hi), without exce-plion. In ll'.e list were the Madisons, Ciymors, Carroll''', (ierrys, Muhle;iberi;s, .Mortises. l'i;zsiniOi:s('s, Ameses, l*ai.,es, Tuckers,iioudiiiots, NN'adsw orlhs, IJlaiifls, Livermores, (loodhues, Jat.kMjns, Sher mans, kc. Were ail llii-se citizens so absurd as to mistake tlie inlciit and meaning of, cr so wickeil as to delilnr- ately \iuhile, the constitution, which they had sacredly sworn to suppoii, and which so many cd’ l!iem had aided lo iVame Il would b(* I'oliy to answer in the aftirmative. Yet either tii(.-y did thus grossly violate the cotislitution ; or the ohjertion \\e are discussing is invalid; for l!ie •• !)rotectiun of mi-.nufatlures by duties oji imixji'tatioti,” v, as e\jdieitl) a- \owed by niosl of them ul \arious limes -lid 1 liave e:; mined the debates, and believe I am perlci lly justit;eil in s.i\iiig it was r.ever once opposed as utaoiistltn-1 titjnal. Various fliilii s v.i'ic, it istiui, opposed, anil some of them \ehementl;', j on the sjrotind of their assumed unequal | —I'ut no or.o lisj)ed n v- ' id t;ti j the ground of unconstitutionality, might refer the reader to the debates of the first congress, to decide this impor tant point. But the book is scarce, and even if otherwise, few would take the trouble to examine it. I hope, therefore, I shall be pardoned for a pretty copious collection of extracts, which I trust will be found to establish irresistibly, the sense of that congress on this subject. Mr. Clymer “did not object to this mode of encouraging manufactures, and “ obtaining revenue by combining the two objects in one bill: he was satisfied that a political necessity existed for both the one and the other.” Lloyd’s Debates of congress, Vol. 1. p. 31. IMr. Clymer “hoped gentlemen would be disposed to extend a degree of patron age to a manufacture [steelj which a mo ment’s reflection would convince them was highly deserving protection.” Idem, p. 69. Mr. Carroll “moved to insert window and other glass : a manufacture of this article was begun in Maryland, and at tended with considerable success. If the legislature was to grant a small encour agement, it would be permanently estab lished.” Idem, p, 94. Mr. Wadsworth—“By moderating the duties we shall obtain revenue, and give that encouragement to manufactures which is intended.”—Idem, p. 123. Mr. Ames “thought this useful and ac commodating maimfacture [nails] which yielded a clear gain of all it sold fur, but the cost of the niaterial; the labor em ployed in it would be throw n away proba bly in many instances. He hoped the article would remain in the bill.” idem, 81. The same—“ The committee were al ready informed of the flouiishing situa tion of tli,e manufacture, [nails,] but they ought not tf) join the genilemun from S. Carolina,(Mr. Tucker,) in concluding that it did not theielVjre deserve legislative protection ; he had no doubt but the com mittee would concur in laying a small protecting duty in favor of this manufac ture.” Idem p. 82. Mr. I'itzsimons “was willing to allow a small duty, because it was the j)olicy of the states w’iio thought it proper, in this manner, to protect their manufactures.” Idem, p. 83. The same—“It being my opinion that an enumeration of articles will tend to clear away difticulties, I wish as many to be selected as possible—for this reason 1 have prepared myself with an addition al number, among these arc some calcu lated to protect the productions of our country, and protect our infant manufac tures.” Idem, p. 17. Mr. Madison.—“ Regulations have been provided, [in some of the states,] and have succeeded in producing some estal)lishments which ought not to be al lowed to perish from the alteration which has taken place. It would be cruel to neglect them, and direct their industry to other channels; for-it is not possible for the hand of man lo shift from one em ployment to another without being injur ed by the change. There maybe some manufactures which, being once formed, can advance toward perfection without any adventitious aid j while otiier.s, Ibr want of the fostering hand of government, will be unable to go on at all. Legisla tive attention will therefore be necessary to collect the proper objects lor this pur pose.” Idem, p. 26. The same.—“ The states that are most advanced in populaton,.and ripe for tnan- ufuctures,ought to have their particular in terests attended to in some degree. While these states I'etained the j)Ower of making regulations of trade, they hail the power to protect and t.hiiish such institutions;' Ijy adopliiig the pirsent constituliuii, they have thrown the e.\ercise of this po«‘r into »)thei' haiitls ; they inust have done this uilh an exj)eclation that those interests would not bu neglected here.” Idem, J). 21. Mr. llaitley.—“If we consult the his tory of the ancient world, we shall see that till) have ihougiil proper for a long lime past, to ,i^^i\e great encouragemeiii to establish tnaiiufactures, by laying such partial duties on the operation of foreigii ^OL'ds as to give the home manui’at lures a consideralde advatilaije iti the [)i ice when brotii'lii to market. * * • j think il both jxditic and just, that the fostering liaiid of ihegeneral governnieul shoiild extend lo all those maiiuractures which w ill tend to national utiiily. Our sinek of matet iiils is, in many instances, equal lo tiiL demand, and our arli/atis sttilieieiil to wolk ihein, even up to:- exportation. In liiose cases I lal;e il to be liie polity d' every enlighletied na- Mi. W^hite.—“ In order to charge spe* cified articles of manufacture, so as to encourage our domestic ones, it will be necessary to examine the present state of each thoroughout the union”-—Idem, p. 19. . Mr. Boudinot—“ I shall certainly move for it, [the article of glass,] as I suppose we are capable of manufacturing this as well as many others. In fact, it is well known, that we have and can do it as well as most nations ; the materials being al most all produced in our country.” Idem, p. 28. The same.—“Let us take then thd resolution of congress in 1783, and make it the basis of our system, adding only such protecting duties as are necessary to support the manufactures established by the legislatures of the manufacturing states.” Idem, 34. Mr. Sinnickson “declared himself a friend to this manufacture, [beer,] and thought if the duty was laid high enough lo efi'ect a prohibition, the manufacture would increase, and of consequence the price be lessened.”—Idem, p. 65. .Mr. Lawrence “ thought that if candleS were an object of considerable impor tation, they ought lo be taxed for 'ue sake of ol)taining revenue; and if they were not imported in consideral>lf |u in- tities, the burden ujion the consuinef would be small, while it tended to ch. r- ish a valuable manufacture.” Idem, p. 68. I trust these extracts, lo whicii ."opi* ous additions might be made, are al>:n,d- antly sufticient to settle this (juestiii’i for ever. But this is not all. 'I'he preamble of the second act of congress, date I July 20, 1789, signed by General Washington, president of the federal cf'nvenlion, and president of the United States, is in 'he following words : “ Whereas il is necessary for the sup port of governmiMit—for the disch .rge of the debts of the United States, and tlie encouiagement and protection of matiufartures, that duties be laid on goods, wares, and merchandize import ed.” The practice of government during the whole of ils existence has tieen confor mable to these views, and surely, there fore, objections’at present are wholly out of lime und place. ^ • COI.HEKT.

On Monday evening, while the driver of the stage from Mrs. Bar clay’s to Avcrasborough was drawing water for his horses, a cart came behind and frightened them, when they started and ran about four miles, to Averasbo- rough, where, true to the influence of habit, they would have halted at the Post Oflice, but for a laudal)le jiMideavor made to stop them, from which they took new alarm, ran into the river, w hich is near this place, and, after swimming to the middle, the whole, stage, mail, and hor ses, went to the bottom. One ol the Messrs. Mallett happening to be near the place, immediately repaired to the spot, and made every exertion to recover the mails. Though he failed, wc are happy to state that the gieat southern mail was found soon after, about two mile.s be low the ])lace where it was lost, flc'aiiiq^ down the river, having been washed out of the stage, which also was found where it hadlodged half a mile higher up ih riv er. 'I’he mail which is lost, (and it ir, not expected will be found,) is.what it; called the Way Alail^ containing all the packages mailed- south of l‘etersburg,-~ Wc learn that much praise i-i due tf) u Mr. W'illiams, for finding and carcfully ptcscrving the great mail.
