The sound of 'Protection' thed, was the sound of injust ce and oppression; but time, it is said, reveals wonderful changes in both men and tbings,aDd what was once odious in prose, may now be charming in poetry. It may possibly make some difference tofhave the public taxes in-.. creased according to the rudiments of the gam ut, and the requirements of rhyme; and Poetry may possibly, so'far dilute the "poison of Pro tective Tariffs, as to make the draught palata- ble even to the Southern taste !
