REMARKS OF MR. SPEIGHT,
Of North Carolina.
In the Hduse of Representatives, June 27, 1832. The
amendment of Mr. Adams to increase the duty on
mits, gloves, hosiery &c. being under consideration
Mr. Speight asked the attention of the House
but for a very few momdnts, while he submitted
to its' consideration some few reflections which
for the moment had occurred to his mind as
applicable to the amendment just proposed
by the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr.
Adams.) He had not at any time during
the discussion on this subject participated in
the debate, and he assured the House that he
should not have felt it his duty to have troubled
them with any remarks, had he not believed
that the amendment, if adopted, would make
an invidious distinction in its operation up
on the different classes of the community,
regarding it alone as a system of revenue. Sir,
said Mr. Speight, 1 represent a section,, which
in a commercial point of view suffers perhaps
more by the opperations and effects of the re
strictive Bsystem, than almost any other of the
State, from whence I come; and although I
have felt" it a duty I owed to them, to have sub
mitted to this House a' list of their grievances,
I have refrained from it (since 1 was at liberty
?tf have done so) in'the hope that gentlemen
would see the necessity and importance of bring
ing this great question to a final issue. Sir,
said Mr. Speight, the .public interest requires
it the voice of public justice demands it. He
(Mr. S.) should therefore detain the House but
lor a very few moments in expressing his en
lire disapprobation to the amendment now un
der consideration. One of the strongest ob
jections he had ever entertained against the pre
sent unconstitutional and unjust system of tax
ation by the federal government, was its partial
operation on the different classes of the com
munity. Ithas'forits object the entire prostra
tion of the laboring classes of the community,
whilst it upholds without scarcely any opera
tion or effect the rich and wealthy. And Sir,
continued Mr. Speight, how is this demonstra
ted? Why. Sir, it is in this way, whilst those
luxuries of life, such as wines, silks, &c. &c,
which are exclusively consumed by the rich and
wealthy, are let in entirely free of duty, those
articles wliich of necessity enter into the con
sumption of the poor man, such as coarse cot
tons and woolens, are taxed to the enormous
amount of from fifty to one hundred per cent.
ad valorem.. He repeated this was the fact,
for you scarcely Collect a revenue tax from the
rich nabob, while the other classes are ground
down to abject servitude by oppressive taxation.
Now, he asked the gentleman from Massachu
setts and the House, if this was levying an im
port duty according to the principles of the
constitution, which required that all imposts
and excises should be "unilorm throughout the
United States' Can any thing be a more pal
pable and crrdss violation of the constitution
than a system of taxation which oppresses one'
class of the community to the almost entire ex
cmption of all the others. You, Sir, continu
ed MrSpeight, collect fully two thirds of your
federal revenue from at least one third of the
population of the United States. This is sus
ceptible of the clearest demonstration. Eight
States which send into this House but sixtv
?evcn representatives and which contain a pop-
ulauon of less than one third ot the whole, pro-1 couon oaggmg, ana wnn Louisiana in relation

abroad and pay for the imports, it is perfectly trate the agricultural or Southern interest, and
clear and apparent that we of the South pay j divide the spoil among the manufacturers. It
comparatively all the revenue consumed by this i is in perfect keeping with this American Sys-
spiendid government. Now Sin asked Mr. j
Speight, how stands the other side of this pic- j
turp. The rpmaimfior KivtPPn Statps. with a
population of tw thirds of the whole, send into
this House one hundred and forty six members,
pay not more than one third of the tax derived
from imports. Does the gpntleman from Mas
sachusetts suppose that any set of freemen will
lonsr submit to be thus taxed? T.pt us snnnose

This, continued Mr. S., was demonstrable from
what he conceive i to be a fact placed bevond
successful contradiction, that an import was in
effect the same as an export tax, and that as the
cotton goes abroad to buy foreign manufactures
for our consumption, we had just as well (as
respects the effect) tax the cotton going out,
as the goods coming in, for in either case it is
so much taken from the individual and given to
the Government. Disguise it as you will, and Yes, Sir, continued Mr. S., I have just as much

said Mr. S., as my constituents have to buy

the amendment. It is to enable the constitu-

asked if there was any justice in such a system
of taxation as this? Does this, he would ask,
comport with the gentleman's professions for
reducing the taxes and burthens of the people?
The gejitleman omits no opportunity to inform
us how willing he is to accomplish that object;
and he assured the honorable gentleman that
between them, in regard to that point, there
would be no difference of opinion, but in what
manner this much desired object is to be accom
plished was a different question, and one on
which, he feared, they should widely differ.
The gentleman seemed disposed to make the
reduction entirely on the unprotected articles,
such, for instance, as those which he had before
named, wines, silks, &c. Such as the gentle
man and the aristocracy of the country consume.
While he is unwilling to touch the taxes on the
protected articles, viz: coarse woollens and
cottons, such as the poor of the country are
compelled to purchase as a part of the necessa
ries of life. He took this occasion to remark
that, however much he desired to see the public
tevenue reduced and brought within the imme
diate wants of the government, that sooner than
he would give his sanction to a principle so
monstrous and so unjust as that which he hum
bly conceived to be embraced in the gentleman's
amendment, he would have no reduction at all.
He wished to see a corresponding reduction on
all the articles, but if any discrimination was
to be extended he would much prefer it, should
it be to the protected articles. He very much
regretted to see manifested in this country
what he conceived had been the policy of all
those countries where the restrictive system
had been the predominant policy an at
tempt to prostrate the interest of the agri
cultural part -of the community at the shrine
of the manufacturers or the aristocracy of
the country. He had never regarded this
as a contest exclusively between the North
and the South, but as one between the aristo
cracy and that portion of the people who earn
their bread by the sweat of their brow. And,
continued Mr. S. this aristocracy exist to a cer
tain degree in the South as well as the North,
and it aims at nothing more or less than the
I prostration of every other interest for the bene
fit of its own. It was his opinion that as they
diminished the taxes on the unprotected arti
cles, snch, for instance, as the luxuries of life
which this nobility principally use, they would,
in the same degree, increase it on the protected
articles, such as the laboring class of the com
munity use. He repeated again that sooner
than have such a reduction of taxes as this, he
would prefer none. It was the policy of tyrants,
and he was at a loss to know . on what ground
any man who entertained or respected the prin
ciples of humanity and justice, could advocate
such a reduction of the public revenue. Whilst
he abhorred the principle, he could not but
admire the wonderful ingenuity and tact which
the gentleman from Massachuseets Mr. Adams
has displayed on this arid similar occasions in
rallying the combined forces of the manufactu
ring interest in this House in order to carry
his different propositions. The gentleman had
)u sounded the trump for his lorces to rally
under his standard, and what cannot be carried
by merit is to be by combination.
We have, said Mr. S., on several occasions,
during the progress of this discussion witnessed
a display of this manoeuvring. When the iron
was up, Pennsylvania was on tip-toe, and in
arms. When the woollens was ud. New Enff-
land fell into the ranks; so with Kentucky about
tern. It was first passed by a combination of the
OI IIIC
several interests I have named, and their ob-
lect is to prostrate the Southern planters. Di-
vide these interests take any one in the ab-
mf
stract, and you will fail to get scarcely one
fourth of the members of this House to vote
for it. What benefit is it to Louisiana to im
pose a restriction upon the cotton exchange
trade with Great Britain? No State in this
bountv. Yesterday, when an attempt was
J made to strike from this bill what he humbly1
., , !
conceived to be one of its most objectionable
i features, (viz.: the bounty to the ship builders)
the whole of the forces were rallied to prevent
it. And for his life he could not see the differ
ence between the principle alluded to in the
bill and the amendment offered by his worthy
friend and colleague, Mr. Carson, to give a
arawoack to the Southern tarmer on tne iron
: be used in makinsr his farming implements
man from Massachusetts had just offered. He
hoped the gentleman would not press his amend
ment, and if he should do so, he hoped the
House would reject it, and preserve the bill as
near as possible in the form id-which it had
come from the Committee of the jWhole. He
had come to the conclusion, in the event of its
not being materially altered for! the worse, to
vote for it; not that he thought it was by any
means what the South ought to hve, or that it
would even satisfy them; but becbuse he found
it was the best they could obtain. J It afforded a
small reduction of the revenue, ajid to that ex
tent it was a benefit; and however little aid it
might afford, he preferred to takejt, rather, than
to return home and inform his constituents that
he had refused to take any thing because he
could not get all he would, or what he thought
was justly due them. These, he repeated,
were his sentiments with regard to the bill; but
if the amendments the gentleman had offered
were engrafted upon it, he did not think he
could vote for it. i

For the Cure of Consumptions, Asthma
Spitting of blood, and Pulmonary Affections of
every kind. The most valuable remedy ever
yet discovered for the cure of Consumptions
and all diseases of the breast anjd lungs leading
to consumptions. To all afflicjted with those
troublesome affections, an immediate use of
this highly celebrated specific j is only neces
sary to convince the most incredulous of its
possessing qualities superior tojany other medi
cal preparation yet discovered! This specific
is obtained by extraction from herbs, roots,
plants, &c. ; in combination of those most val
uable herbs it becomes a balsam of superior
value to the human family. It heals the injured
parts, opens the pores, and composes the dis
turbed nerves; and while it cleanses and heasl
it also gives strength to the tejider lungs, im
proves digestion, repairs the appetite and im
proves the spirits. This specific is always
given in safety it is mild and pleasant to the
taste, and may be safely given to women in
whatever condition, the most jdelicate circum
stances not excepted. A greajt many well au
thenticated certificates could be obtained : the
proprietor is opposed to any thing like puff,
and prefers to risk it on its own merits alone.
The public will please be cautious of a spurious
article: none are genuine without tne signa

practice for sometime past, arid I must acknow

that I have ever known, for that purpose. You
are certainly safe in recommending them to

curedand preserved from decaying, and from
a few weeks experience, I am decidedly of the
