In reference to the pr ctica; efi'ectot the bill, he ttated that he saw obstivcle tti the canying this bill into t fleet, which aj peartd to hira to be inv-uvmountablo. He thought that it would be difficult to ascertain the 'e gal valite of Cntton. He took a view of 'the different values attached to cotton, and of the .ptcfesaionst consttuciions to which the clause concerning c'oUon woud be subjected. In .relation to Iron also, he thought th difBculties in uBcerjain'mg the value would be such ss to render the prevision concerning that article inoperative". The duties on iron having hitherto been spec .lie, no principle of He considered provision -by which the value on iron could -te assessed. Ti:e same remarks wete applic,-ble to strar(; and he siateit a case t- show the d.fficuHy. which ex isted in reaching a proper and ftXfU value as a ba sis for duty, lie supposed ihe answer would be, that if. difiienhie ar.se, tlu Secretary must gel throu ; ! with tlurn: Hi Wei1 as he tan ; aud if he Ciimi't, he putt come to ('onures. As a measure ol finance, hi had no idea that the b.ll would be an efficient measure. He had heard the assertion thai the b 11 -.ouTd not at alt reduce tne. revenue ; He denied ti..at the re duction ui boots and shoes and clothing would) reduce the revenue. Tin bill would, iu fhese branches, reduce, thousands ot mechan cs to ru in, and by this o;erMCii would increase the re venue. In this point, the bill aims a .deadly blow on the poof, the 'young, the enlerpr.sing ; on the Labour nd the ingenuity the country. By the introductjon of 'foreign -dcohoi, at a re duced rate of duty, the revenue Mould be in creisrd ; out he thought gcutleuien should pause I bet'ore they suncuon this cha .ge. -The ei.tre breaking up of the printing er-ishiisbmeiits for pnn'ing cshcoes would oe one ot the conse quences of the passage if the bi'l? and iu proof. lie tead some eitiacts tr. ni a mtmorul or (lie Lowell matiuf tuit.rs.

'lie might bt wrong. -.Tlu-re might be no pledge, no constitutional objection ; out it so, why this bill? The People will not expect the pa'ssae of this bill. There was i o expectation at the commencemeut of this short sessiuu iht such a biil would be passed. The S na'e had not had time to know he pleasure of their master. No opportunity hud been offered for obtaining knowledge ol either the course of public opin ion, or ilie efl'eet of this measure on the public mtereKts. It wus saiel, the next Congress would pass this bill if it was not passed n. w. He d d not fear Uie next Congress ; but if that body should choose to undo what was now done, it would not have the power to do so. It it was true, as the Senator from Kentucky believed, that the intent. H of South t aiolma wa merely to enter imoa law suit with the Uni ted Stales, then there was nonnecessity for this sacrifice ot great interests.; lie Relieved th-.t it the bill ah old become a l.w. iheiewill be an ac tion on the part ed the.

The estimates of the Secret! ry ot the reasury as to the point of revenue, vary materially fiom lhoe of others, but if tlie tiue point coud oe'asceitaiiied, he thought C'ongi ess might at once irocted to an adjust pent of the Tariff with a prospe ct of success. As he had Cummencrd wiih doii.g justice to ; thr motives of the gentlemen on ihe othe r side. he asked that equal justice might be done to turn in the opposition winch h- was compelled to make to a uieasific' which had been uh red in wiih so niurh. pi of Ssmn of peace and harmo ny.

He reteitv-d to correspondence to prove .'that 'he bill before tin House wouhl be ruinous to their interi sts, while the bili befor the Senate would remove all fear of ruin. In re ferer.ee to iron, he reminded th Sc nntor fion Masr-.tchuse tts tlmt, by a new process called co kinir, iron Would soon be manufactured in this country at low a taveasin England. wheh objection to the argument ol the Senator wa, that he bounele el forward to 1842, and undertook to prophesy what would bt the -t:tc- of thirg at that pericd, 11" would asst.on rtlv on the tore cast of the Senior from Mkssachuse'ts as on ant member cf the Sentte, or of the- communit- ; but he couid not b ! vt- tliat tl Senator cottl-t see resul;s which would n- found to bed-' ffcrnl ent on so many continger.cie?. An Amcrcm statesman will look abrrd upon all the int rests of the country, and comprehend in oru viewall its condition. He Whs as anv ooe, aud ther- lore tlv insensible t fear as impuls ion tha' this measure was n troduct-d ondertin influence of a panic, coulel not anect him. Bin he couid not tie insensible to the change which had taken place in the: situation of things, even since the commencement of the session. At that t'lrn- S uth-C irohna stood alone ; but, since then, Virginia V,d sein a Commissioner, or a Minister, tn S .U'h-CaroIinH, to induce her to delny her operations of hostiht; . It South Crijna should accede to her requ"9t, will not Virginia-go with her in her ulterior mea.ture?!, if ciee her grievances should not be redre-sed ? Civil war rhigiit be the result. He was not wil ling o apply tiie sword to reduce the South to obedience. IMot that circumstances . miht not, arise, w hich would render it necessary to resor to force. Hut in; reference to a Foreign uower, titer- ys aiwaysa reluctance to engnge in war. until every e fl'oi tt negotiation had f-iled : and iftt'.er. was this unwillingness to engage in fo rcjgnwar, l.ow much more reluc'aijp- onjht tiievt: to be to engage in a war at home, in a content in wincii he who commands in chief hi ght no' be w illing to stop until he should have pl-oe-d himsell on a throne. He did not fear a ny m scoi ception of the pledge contained in the bill ;atii! he toped that the manuiacurt rs wouiii go on and prosper, t confident that the abandon ment of protection was mver intended, and looking tt more favors ble times for a renewal of a more elticient Triff.

The rule pi escribed, and he couh' n t anticipate .my i friculty iu cting upon it He went somewhat t large into statements and ailments to sus tain his position in reference to cotton. In tin w. ial f..rm of construction which could be put on the law by the hecretary of the Tre-ur, the Cotton interest would enjoy u sufneient pro section until the ye-sr 1841. He shewed what would be his own construction, whicrr would leave tiiat interest in a siiil better condition, It would be competent, however, for Congress who uouldaga.n be in session before this law could go into effect, tocorr ct any errors whicJ which had twide,recrved the sanction of a majo rity of the Senate1- leKvould not acquiesce in the views of those twvp; . relied on reaction. Si milar was the expeefktion, at. the last Session, but there had been no WteEeial result. He was for conciliattng all inter ?tsV let whomsoever might fail, and whomsoever might eucceed. He regret ted that the Bill, in-Select Committee, had been iniured by striking1 ot the clause making cotton free, and stated thatUhis was not done by his vote, or by tliat ot Ifia friend from Delaware. Still it was a measure calculated to promote the. grent'object for wh;eh it Was introduced. He was not disposed 'to" throw himself forward t 1842, but he did nof - tUnk: that there was any canse for apprehenso as to the provisions which look to that period, j " ' 4 v The opponents of this bill, would send out a flaming sword : the It tends of the bill, would send out a flaminir sword accompanied by the olive branch.

It was true he would h iVtv voted for it, but he felt no new born zeal poigpting him to make spee ches on the subjects" i , He thought of the?Administration as he always had thought, arid hi ' had determined to leave it to the friends of. the? Sxecutive to bear themselves out in defence of th. Bill. He would have voted for it, but it would are been with reluctance, because of the conferences which may result from the measure. .stated that, with some exceptions, as to tli,K':lvWli-toned doctrines which were to be found jti 111 document, he approved of the ereneral ton?r?0f the Proclamation of the President, and of h s Jklessage to the Senate on the subject of S outV.

The other side cries out now )rj but desires to see it re strained and tempi ed by eliscretion and mercy, and not create a co iflAgration from one" end of the Union to the oj ,ict. He believed the gen tlemen who opposei i the bill did not wish for ci vil war, but the dciajl fftf the bill would lead to consequences to bf'; eteplre(i. And he would not wish to see sapped cities, desolated fields, and streams of Ame ickrrblbod shed by American citizens. 1 ' v. ' He had been acci ed' of ambition in introduc ing this measure, fl "despised the grovelling spirits from which teScharge came, and dismiss ed the accusation to ;h winds. If Congress would pass this bill, he w fu!d willingly retire to his home, to the groveof -Ashland, where he could find a fidelity andn affection which he had not always found in plight? life.
