After Air." Martin had concluded his remarks, j . - Air; Speight of North-Carolina,' rose and observed, that the friends of equal rights and liberty should feel under great obligations to the gentleman from Ten nessee, (Mr. Polk) for bringing thh sub ject to the consideration of the House And, I need not tell the gentleman, said Mr. S. that I am prepared to go with him, not only in remedying tlie evil which he complains of, but in fegencra ting the. whole tariff system. 1 view it as an imposition .which is intended to be practised on the sound judgment of the people of this country, and one which, while it is intended to enslave a small portion of ihe Union, to profit and bene fit another, requires, for its support a u surpation of power wholly unknown to the Constitution. And 1, take occasion to say further, that it isai policy foreign from t he true 4 interests of this country, and one which, if persisted in, will not on ly end in the ruin of (he Southern or agri cultural States, but will sooner .or later demolish this empire -and sink it into a. bankruptcy. . j ' r Mr. S. said he had not risen for the purpose of attempting to discuss the gen eral principles of the "American Sys tem:" for if his abilities were sufficient to do justice to , the importance of the subject, his health would not permit it; he, therefore, asked the indulgence of the House but for a moment, whilst he, as a Southern reprcsettativc, and one whose constituents felt the injurious ef- feet, not only of the duty ou cotton bag ging, but of the' whole, system, expressed ins opinion in relation to the amendment ot the gentleman from Tennessee. If, said Mr. S., upon an examination 'of the tariff of 1S28, it can be shon that no article which the .Southern 'State's im ported has been taxed, but such as the manufacturing States can furnish us with as cheap as wo can import it, there might j at the lirst -glan c of-tlie subject be some ; I itistihcation to plead for its ii;issa?e. f Vuit if it should on examination, appear mat not only tnose, out s l ilt chrh acll.ov i-nn. not furnish us with at all, have been tax ed, the inquiry will naturally' result, how under heaven has it come to pass, that under 4i government which professes to secure to each poriion j of .the; country equal protection in enjoyment of tife, li berty,. a. d property, a law has been pass ed which must act as an engine of op pression, and rob one portion of the U nion, and take its just'earnings out of its pockets and put into others? Without intending or wishing to go into the gene ral merits of the tariff, if I do not shew in a very few words, that the duty on cotton bagging is the effect of what 1 have slated, 1 am greatly mlstaken.--lf the manufacturing States could furnish a supply of the article in question as cheap as the Southern States can import it, why then there might be some pre text for l?ying the duty; bat it has been shown in the course of this debate, that the very small portion of the country which manufactures hemp. can. for all the bagging they manufacture, find a market beyond the mountains; and the only effect this duty of four and a half cents per square yard has on the article at the South is to take out of the pockets of the honest, hard working farmers nearly 'JOOOOO annually, td squander on ob jects in the manufacturing States, and to support their extravagance. It has been shewn by the geotieman from South Carolina, (Mr. .Martin.) m the strong vievt which he took ol this subject, that, at the adoption ot the present tariff, those w no aavowicu . - j tho n in v on cuuuu vuu- - . t n chnw the advan cing were request." - -fage it could possibly be to the manufac- turin States, mis, sir, O. . i.nnlff that If l nor ca rt it be now suuu, vU.j . cvsfpm complete. necessary to niac - . andtoeflect the rum of the outh.

" ", iUi strong eriaence neiore the lace ouy up ivcntuck. and rret her to vote me lenii.i ine oouin men nave a right to demand a repeal af the duty. And il a majority of this House have any magnanimity or sense of justice, the ap peal must be irresistible; for no gentle man, howcrer blinded be may be, by self interest, cani help seeing the injusticfc and iniquity of the duty. The effect 'that it has on. the Southern States is highly injurious, and may be shown in a very few words. It amounts to this.- Thfe manufacturing States, in order to carry out the' system of taxation complete, have imposed an unjust .tax. on a certain article oi prime demand in the Southern! Stales: and the tax is no advrntage td the manufacturing. Slates. It takes out of the pockets of the honest hard working farmers of the South, at least 150,0(X) annually, for the single ar ticle of cotton bagging. Sir, in order to prove the truth of the position I have advanced, let us suppose the Southern States consume, annually, 4,000,000 "of yard's of cotton bagging, 43 inches wide; a duly on that quantity of 4 1-2 cents per square yard, would (amount to almost 200,000, but I have no doubt that the amount consumed exceeds that quantify. Now I ask, (and hope to be answered correctly cab .any person desire more conclusive ' proof of the ' injustice and oppression of the tariff, system, than is. here ' afforded, on a developenient of. the duty on this one articlet Hero is a tax of near 200000 annually on (he South for the consumption of an article, which they, of necessity, are compelled to have; and not having the means to manufac ture it at home, r compelled to seek it in n foreign market. And . what Js niost iniquitous of all, the tax does not afford a protection.at "all for the manu factures .of the article in the United .States. I profess to be no admirer of the Drawback System; I should have prefer red a resolution tb have abolished the dutv at once. Drawbacks I conceive to be one of the many follies which we have, borrowed from other countries. And,' sir, my objections arise from a belief that there is concealed behind it much mis chief, and often, great frauds arc practised on the government. But 1 cannot see. any good or substantial reason why the 5outherrv-6tates should not be allowed U drawback on cotton bagging exported mm tllC UnlieQ OiaiCS. aS "XII as IIIU Northern States on salt, used in' saving fish, or in other wprds, a bounty on fUh exported. Now, sir, Ftakc it the object of drawbacks is to prevent the duty from being paid on articles which are impor ted, not with! a view of consumption in the country, but of exporting them a gain; as for instance, the people of New England urge as a reason why they should havo jadrawback onj salt, that they-do not censurne a large quantify of it at home, but Use it for the purpose of saving fish, which are' intended to be exported. I -' --This, sir, was the cause of the draw back being allowed. And I nave no doubts upon examination of the custom house books, in New England,! it would bef found that scarcely any duty is paid at all on the article of alum salt. .It is quite an easy matter so to manage the business as to present the appearance of exporting, when in fact not half the quan tity that is imported is again exported. Suppose, sir, We were to ask for an ac count -of the "quantities of fish taken by the citizens of New-England. I hesitate not to sa'v, that upon an examination it would be found, that all the salt which is pretcntled to be exported, would amount toi more than two pounds to each fish. And again; sir, there are large quan tities of these fish consumed in the Lni teld States, and a large quantity of the salt which is used in saving them, is a gain brought: back. But this . is not the fact as regards the cotton bagging It is! imported into the United States, arid immediately exported, ana never, again returns; so that there is not that strong probability of fraud being practised on tlie Government, by allowing the draw back -on that article, as on salt used in sa ving fish. If it were in order to go in- to! a general discussion of the American Svttem it could be easiJy shown, that it is a system of fraud and deception, and, in its effects, fatally calculated to red ace any pomoi. .
