Mr. FOSTER, after adverting lo the un
expected and liai-ly manner in which the
bill had been 01 ought torwaid, and ie
niaiKing thai Pennsylvania had been ac
customed to coimider tho taritf question
as one 10 be treated n general principles
proceeded U express his regret that his
colleague (Mr. E J. Morris) liad alluded
lu the recent canvass j is Peniih.v Ivania as
he hud done. As a member of tins House
from Pennsylvania, he tell proud of tliHt
great State, and he would not allow linn,
self, here or elsewhere, as hit colleague
hud done to charge the people of Penn
sylvania wuh ucung with lalse and fraud
ulei t motives on tlie subject of the taritf.
ll the Wine party had carried the Stale
Mr. F. esteemed thai party so hignly, that,
bcluie the Natiouul Legis alum, he would
i.ol have been found inuKiiig such a charge,
lie knew the manner in which the can
vas, had heen conducted ; and when the
gentleman came to speak of it as it had
been curried on in his 4Ir. F's.J county,
and 10 declare that the people 11 ad acted
under I'icTi inlluence, he nad mistaken
them ultogelhei ; they hud acted under
no dulosion. Pile taritf question was llie
one which, in the late canvass in IVfKyl
varia, hud deeply agitated the puolic
mind. They had been told by their Whig
irieims mere, aim generally throughout
ihe cou nti , that by the election 01 Mr.
Polk the iron and coal interests of Pen 11
sylvatiia wore 10 be trodden down ; but he
had declared to theni that the profession
mat the Whig party weio the only friend
to the pi-oteciion of the iron interests of
l'cnn-y 1 vania neie hollow and unsound;
lhai ai the !.t sestiou of Congress, in the
Sumtid of the United States, the first blow
at the iron interest had sprung from a
member of llie Whig party from Maine ;
and although a distinguished Ser.ator from
Georgia had rr.ado a pilgritua.e to Penn
sylvania tit tell the people of that Stato
tliHt protection to that great interest
could only bo looked for from tho Whig
party, yet when they turned to the Jour
nal of the Senile, they found the vote of
that Senat r recorded against the taritf ot
1842, and his vote recorded in favor of the
bill of the gentloinan from Maine to re
duco the duty on railroad iron- Had he
been tiitetaken when he told the people of
his St.ve that for a fair, eqinuble, honor
able adjustment ot the tariff sygtem thev
iiiu-t noc rely on tho Whig party alone T
Wnat did we seo now T The first move
ment at tlio present session of Congress,
attacking the great interest! of Pennsyl
vania, did ii coins from the Democracy
of the .North, the South, the East 01 the
West. J o j but from a prominent Whig
member of this House. Now when his
colleague undertook to say that 170,000
of the people of Pennsylvania had been
deluded, he told him that he did not know
that people. If the gentleman con lined
his remarks to the people of hi own dis
trict, it was very probable that he might
hnvesome persnnal reasons therefor. Hut
if ihe people of Pennsylvania had had all
the lights o! the people ot the whole U
nion, a four-horse wagon would n t hold
all the documents thrown into that one
district b; Whig wriiois and Whig or-
tors.
Put he was sorry, s he had observed,
that his colleague 1. mU dragged before this
at nibly any question of tnis kind; and
he km lhai neiiuer the gentle 11 tn nor
any pi her mar. who might have attempt
ed it at the late electi n, had been suc
cessful in misleading the people upon the
question of ihe taritf or any oilier, The
quesiinn of protection of the iron interest
ci Pen u..y Ivania, was one deeply fell by
Pennsylvania, il might not perhaps be
kiniwi, to this House, that, in Pennsylva
nia alone, there was one establishment in
the western part of the Slate, where thev
could inauulacture railroad iron to the
amount of between 80 lo 100 tons per
week. Mr. F. also referred to one or two
other establishments which were manu
facturing to a like extent.
1'hey had been told by the gentleman
from South Carolina Mr. IIolni3s that
Peiii.sy Ivania at one lime introduced
large quantities of imported railroad iron.
For leu year, prior to 1841, railroad iron
had been adrniited free of duty. Then
no laiiroad iron had been mauulaciured
in the Union j then no capital had been
invested in this country in its manul'iic
tuie Put let him tell the gentleman
from Snut Ii Carolina that Pennsylvania
when she did iiutnirt that railr ad iron
free of duty, paiu twelve dollars more pt r
ton than she tould now manuluciuic ii
for. It had beeti free of duly lor ten years ;
fureigneii then hud control of the .-tiole
market; domestic competition llie. e
non. Then she had puid sixty dollar
per ton for railroad iron j and he pledged
himself here thai her uiauufac urers were
ready tn contract now, where oontraotato
be made, at forty eight dollar ter ton.
Mr. HOLM tS interposed, and asked if
bi tmdeisloiKl the gentleman to say that
the T railroad iron could row be obtained
here in any qu niiiy.
Mr. Foster replied in the affirmative.

lishments in Pennsylvania and in Mary,
land were aln ady prepared to make large
contracts for the furnis'ni g of railroad
I iron. Hut had not tho gentleman from
South Carolina, who yesterday had defen
ded this bill with so much warmth, told
I them that he was willing the tariff should
so be arra iged as to yield suft oient reven
1 ue for the government, and that all he as
ked, and many other gentlemen who
(agreed with him, was to bring the tariff to
a revenue standard ? Was he to under
stand the gentle man from South Caroli
na now that he wished railroad iron to
come in free of duty ? Was that the rev
enue standard which the gentleman from
South Carolina, and those woo acted with
him, were disposed to make? He was
glad thai the gentleman from South Car
olina hod thus early given them informa
tion as to the course lie intended to pur
sue as lo the question ot ttie tariff. The
gentleman went for a revenue standard of
duties : ".011 Id the gentleman tell him
how much railroad iron il would be ne
cessary lo import under the provisions of
this bill Tomorrow the gt uUeiuan
might tell his friend from JVew Enij! .nd
thai "the revenue standard upon nooien
ami cotton good amounted to the same
a it did in the gentleman's action on iron,
ami he -night make a similar declaration
to gentlemen from New York, and from
other States engaged in the manulactuie
of salt, iron, wool, cotton, and sugar. Al
though the gentleman professed to be in
favor of a "revenue duly," he (Mr. F.)
should tell the people of his Sttte, al
least, t at the gentleman, by his action.
was in tavor of having foreign irou come
in duty fre.
All that Pennsylvania asked was fair,
honorable settlement of this great que-
qucHiion ; she wanted it adjusted in some
manner to iive security to ner eitnen.
Sue haalways maintained the doctrine;
that the majority were to rule, and that
their laws were t be submitted to.
From H32 to 1812 a period during
which her in I Htrul purMHts had been
s'ricken down by th operation of the
compromise act no arm had been riised
their in uefianee of the authority of this
Oovernmenl ; but daily and hourly they!
saw the whole of tliese interests g ing to i
decay and destruction ; and they" wi ed
until the appeal made to the good sense
and patriotism of the American people
prevailed it; the passage of the taritf of
i852, .nd.r which all lu-r interests began
to revive and look . up. She now nceupi-t
es the same position she had occupied be-'
tore the passage 01 the compromise act of
1844. The principle of the taritf of 1842
as far as related to the manafaclureof iron
of any description, or of every description
was not too high.
IIo would state it as a reproach to the
American character, that, in his own State
foreign railroad iron has bsxm la:d down
within six inches of the finest beds of iron
in ,ttie world. Such iron abounded in
Pennsylvania, Missouri, Tennesee and
Ne Jersey ; and yet foreign railroad iron
had hitherto been imported; and laid '
down on all our ra Iroads. He wanted to
see the time arrive when, by the perfection
of machinery, by the increased skill, and
ly the increased capital of Pennsylvania,
they wduIo. be able to successfully com
pete with foreigners without any protect
tion at all. He knew that the time would
come; but he would U II gentlemen from
the South that it would uever arrive un
less adequate piotectiuii was given to cur
great interests in the beginning. To show
the beueliuial effects of protection, he
would mention that in 1838, '&), and '40,
when railroad iron was brought in free of
duty, and when it was imported largely
in all the States, it rose up 50 and 00 per
cent; but now, since the taiillof 1842, it
u be bought 13 per cent chener than it
was in i8t;8, and 40. He was really
sorry t . see his friend from South Caroli
na ( Mi Holmes) fall into Ihe arms of a co- j
ahtion which ho believed had already be
gun between some of the gentleman of the
Sou Mi and of New England; but let him
tell llie New England gentlemen, that if
they deserted Pennsylvania, and threw
themselves into the arms of the gentle
man from South Carolina, they must not 1
expect 1 iie aid of the former when their j
own interests are 111 danger. Pennsylva-J
nu voted lor and itti ihem in the pro
lection o!" their cotton and woollen tnana
al.ietures; and he would ask tlieui wuo 11

Why, then was an attempt made losiiike
down at one blow her moat important and
vital interests, shoul it be countenanced
by tliote to whom Pennsylvania had al
r ady gave her support? Why wasit, rhen
Penney Ivania alone wa sii.gled out from
all the other Stales, and tier interests set
up a mark lo lie shot, that he found some
of lu Inend from New England joining

reduced in agei eral hill ; bit u-'it they
t ere asked to strike d '" .1 lin tup r:aul

or the mechanic, but for the sake of (he

would pause and oonsider whethwr they
