by Ihe rbanee.
I ronGlenily assert, that the restrictions
iinpaed by Ihe tarifT State upon the
commerce of tbe ptaniiiiK Siitcs, are one
hundred time more iniuiK.ua end opp. e
sivo than all tUe colonial rtstriciiwoa and
tne which Great Britain ever imposed,
or atteuptad to impose upon ihe com-merce-
of our forefathers. Ya, Mr.
CHAieuAtf, a revolution wblcb tevercd a
mitrhty empire ioto frapmenti, aud which
hit'ory has already recorded as ihc fi'st
ii tiie annals of human liberty, originated
in restrict ions and iwpnsitions, not a whit
more tyrannical in principle, and, as I

unconsti'iriooilly imposed upoo the
Sau'hern S';.t'.
The proniMtion which excluded our
ancestor from 'ho commerce ol all other
countrie but Oteat U'lt-in, wa almost
purel nominal, Without that prohibluoil,
the trade rf the colonis would have been
ronfin'd a. most excliisitely to the mo
