and acquit ourselves of all our duties and
obligations on the high seas. In view of
these assertions, (he treaty of Washington
wat negotiated, and upon consultation
with the British negotiator as to the quan
tum of force neesary to be employed in
order to attain these objects, the result to
which the most deliberate estimate led
was embodied ia the eighth article of the
treaty.
Such were my views at the time of ne
gotiating that treaty, and such, in my opi
nion, is its plain and fair interpretation. I
regarded the 8 ih article as removing all
possible pretext, Aa the ground of mere
necessity, to visit and detain our ships up
on the African coast because of any aller-
rd abuse of our flag by slave tra lers of
other nations. We had UkCit upon our
elves the bmden of preventing any such
abuse by stipulating to furnish an armed
force regarded be both the high contract
ing parties as sufficient to accomplish that
object.-

of right to exorcise any such general po
lice over the flags of independent nations.
We did not demand of Great Britain any
formal renunciation of her pretensions.

with which military laurels are so apt lo
poison the f mind counting, with -this
precedent before hi eye, on the sup
port of the Democracy" and the pithy
of -the People and the Slat- may snd
will abolish oil our institutions. The
precedent may s: least aervo io cover
hi first movement- in the cnmin.1 cn er
priff. To estahlinh such a prueedeti,
under sct circuni!anrot, is lo court
tiWMtrcliy. No coitire mire in relation
ards the tuppi rti f Govemmetit, under
the one system as the other. And this ge
neral thought is thrown out for consuiera
ti'in. Il I be correct, or appioximat to
correctneis, far from perferring to pay
my contribution under a horizontal tariff,
which will relieve me from ao part of my
burden and confer incidental, benefit oo
no portion of my fellow-citizen, rather
than pay it onder the sytem of discrim
inating du'ies, which will sdd nothing to
my burden, and from w hish a large por
tion of my fellow-citizens will derive an
incidental ait vantage, 1 say plainly, I
should prefer the latter. The maoufae
tureri are our fsllow-ctt zens: and if we
miy give them a benefit, without injury
lo ournelves, it is very little lo ssy we
ought lo do it. 1 have a real feeling of
l-fellow-citizi-nahip for (hem. However,
tHese uggesimns of mine, whether well
or ill-founded, are of litde importune to
the main point I insiston; which sie, that
this subject of the Tariff ought to ! ad
jured in a spirit of liberal compromise
adjmled and $etlled; that the compro
mie I have mentioned is in principle, a
fair one; and that the general syeiem ought
ti be tctiled, with u w some uVgrp
o permanency. Il ha been said, that
sine the pretci.t Tariff went niti opera
lion, tbeie hss been a great dert.ic ol
Froia Ihe Nalioral Intil igtocer.
