Whereas, ins fir C"imo;rce, prostuted, by a country with a commercial mariue of ber own, the value of imports, for a series) of year takes toother, will be equal to the aggre gate value of exports and freight. Ia a singls commercial operatic, if lb value U import is just equal to tha ralue ol export, it is clear that there i a lose to the whole amount of freight. Tet .thia, according to the dclrine of the balance of I J. ! !.L 1 t irao is pviinor a gaiuim uor a losing oust oa. Again; If, in a mnlo otwratiuu, the vn!u7 of imports u b-ss than the ralue cfexirli, thi. according tu the Manet of trade, is a gainful commnrce, though he who receives a return cargo lea valuable than the outward, feels sorely that it is a losing business. So, if instead of a singl cane, in all c i .tinsrcial cporati'mi of a eowitry the valr.f i f import alu'd be less than the value of r -rrs it ih mhI the bal ance of trade lar yt vie hrtu uuth ing ia mora deowusti ative i ihii a lion the valuH of all tha return car.w in 1cm than the value of all tha outward, that it ia a luring huaiocw. ,-. .. On the other hand, if, in a single opera tion, the Value of the return cargo is treat- r-Ji??, Jh)i of, the outard4and oat of the return cargo the merchant pays for ths otitwsrd, and all the expense of the voyage, atill rHairiiirjin bis hmnds a large residue, the bnlance of trait ears he is growing poorer, while It full thst he ia growing richer. So, while all the individ uals of a nation, by like operations, are growing richer, the baUnrt of trait says die nation if grswTugpobrer. Nothing can on more unfair am) dald aive than from fist of oar exports to, and IniporW'from a given country, to pro anunra upon that intercourse as being eith er gainful or losing.

That the reverse of the proposi tion U precisely the Iaet that auccen id this protective policy is but to Substitute New England &r Old Engalad so that the former tnay now burthea a free pen pie, as the latter formerly did her colonial vswwls. Let ma ex mine it a moment. What difference ia therebetween England compelling hsrnlonies to trade with her alone for their supplies of manufactures ; and one section of the onion, by virtue of hirh prohibitive duties, comprllinf, anoth er to trade to that alone for all supplie of manutaciurec anicieii is nut una in etroct of Ihe system 1 Ia it mitigated by the reflection, that it U the .brother of my blood who compel me to yieU tip the fruit of my toil, to gratify hia spirit of rapacity T la it mitigated by the tact that the south is la enact cut ofTfrom the cheapest market ip the world, and is compelled to resort to tha dtamt T Sir, tba adoption ofnsyatem oteomplrtt protection, is the adoption of a system, ss regards our pecu liar intemU, incomparably worse than that of colonial vassalage, tt ia worse than colonial raecalage, precisely ta the extent that the market of New England is worn than tba market of G Britain. Sir, what ia the condition of the laboring clas sss, at this day Jo Canada, ia respect to the taxes on Ihe necessaries of life, whea com pared with that of ihe labouring classes in this sonfederacy of freemen ! I bars an authentic document before me, which exhibits .tha monstroc dlffer eaca Here Mr. Mangunt read the docu ment, ahewing that in A Canada only 2 per esotduUe wera paid on cotton goods silks, woollens, lines, earthen, cbina and gtasa ware, bard iwllad iron-iwhils ia tha United States, ths duties on tha same ar ticles, to be paid by the consumer, range from S3 par sent., the lowest, to 250 psr oent.

Sir, if (ha gwnius of that gentleman could hare thrown iqto hi picture, th bold de sign and admirable grouping of Raphael, the delicate colouring of Titian, and the facinatiag light and (hadow of Rembrandt, U could not have been redeemeJTrom re volting associations. I understand thai more than twenty thousand little girls, from serea Io fifteen yeara of age, are at thia moment immersed in these actoric in the United Statee. Who can contemplate, without pain, the hard faie of so many delicate young fe malea, torn from a mother's love and a molher'e car, immersed in theso factories, and laboring in every sort of contact forced - from - the rmmbois of youthtul innocence, and the gladness and sunshine of tlie heart overcast t Who eo" ht not to denounce the. accursed sys. tern that bnbos ins avarice oi tne parent to sacrifice tha innocence of the child T I sppeal to every parent- who avai felt the gush of tenderness for thsse little inno cents ; who has watched the first budding of affection,' pUttiag forth" iis tiny tendrils, and clingging around bis vsry heart strings ; whether he could find it in hi heart to tear them from the aconei of their chilhood from tha consecrated circle of family afflictions and'immerse them in these laboratories, as the 'drudges, the slaves of capricious task-masters f Sir, it is not in the nature of things, that their minds and their affection 'should resist all taint. .- Sir, I have already too much extended my remarks. I had designed lo examine several other matters. . I jnitat refrain. - . . I had doterminsd to examine, ind ex, pose th fallacy, of the position that prices nave been reduced by tha tariff; and to shew, that they have fallen, not in conse quence of tha tarifl, but .in spitf of it. .1 1 had denaed to examine the allega tion, of aa increased ability to crasurae, growing out of Ihe protective y item, by euhanciog ihe price of bread stuffs and to shew, as they may be clearly (hewn, that the allegation is fouodod, 1st, in an error of fact ; and 2d, in an error of rea soning. I bad designed to show, that ths most erroneous estimates i nats been made ol th profits of tha aottoa producers. I had intended to show that the duties' upon iron the raw material had put out of profitable employment more than an hundred.thouaand of our most useful arti- j cans, and transferred the labour of Bir mingham, Sheffield, fnd other manufactu-! ring towns in England. ; - - n I had desipnod -to show thi System, coupled with tha ' paper system, is a close and servile imitation of tha Jbnglish which is tha moat rtfinii tytteu nx slave; ry in the world.-Thf" aristocracy hold ing thechurch and state, with tha infin atelyr. raxioiis wmplicaUoa - of Mace and pension, extract 350 millions of dollars an uually equal to fifieen years, income ot this government-lAddJo this the hundred ot millions extracted cyTOircQnr ia wi and by banking and -inanufacturing establish, ment , and we nave an appalling aggregate.
