The principles involved in the Tariff to which you have called my attention, have uniformly met with my mo.i decided op p's.tion ; for ti e reason, that I cannot but consider the restrictive policy" a8 not only ur.just in its operations, bui as at vari ance with all the principles upon which na tional prosperity depends. : Holding tr.ese opinion-, I need not say, that I consider the aci of '42 as both uncal led for by the necessities of the country, and as violatory of the true spirit and plain intent of the Constitution. Whether it has owed its origin to a selfish, local, and mercenary spirit, as- ma oy supple, 1 w ill not stop to inquire ; but that it has become a law in utter disregard to the tights of the gr at bopv '.(the peo ple, 1 verily bihrve 0r government i in "":, ko.iww i. oiriotciion ol persons, and when rigatiy administered none will be allowed in practice. That it does not now conform to its theory in this respect, must be obvious to any unprejudiced mind. W hat. I ask you, is ii'that now " protects" the labor of ihe farmer? His produce is likewise taken to - market, and is there sold for ihe most it will. bring; and .fits, price is regulated by the proportion which his supply bears to the demand, entirely unaided by partial and restrictive laws. - Is ihis lhera.s . wiij War nr- Aie trey no in the enjoyment of privileges, which are denied to oth n- ? If so, whence, have they derived them ? A satisfactory answer to il,ee latter inu rrogatones, may be found by an impartial survey of the act to which yon refer. Yes ; they are al th:s moment invoking Legislative aid to protect them in their industry, by t-uch laws as will prevent others from vompeting with them. If this be so. w hich 1 a-ssf-rt, 1 aU urhnt is I t.ei r nlipii ? ' - It is so plain, that the way-faring inanCT tnougr. a tool, need not he mistaken. Their obji-ct is to drive. off the importer, thus lessenme foreign com petition ; to cot short by prohibitory dunes, the supply from abroad. Who :s there so blinded by f;is political prejudges, as not to perceive, that as the supply is lessened, the demand for what they make incieascs and prices follow' .
