interest which is asked for speiial_ protection
now, to the prejudice of the fanner, is the iron
and milling interest of the country. The pro
portion between ' this and the agricultural in
terest in the unmber employed is as thirty-four
thonsand to four millions:. : . Of the 'exports of
this country, four.fiftles are rigrieelturalpro
ducts as :.the.statistics will 'show.:' Now, sir,
ought not these facts to_ have some weight on
the minds ofthose, who are , attempting td se
cureexcluiive privileges to certainlclasses un
der, the garb or pretext of protecting American
Industry. These facts show the futility of at
to limit the agricultural productions
of this country to a' home market. Our thr..
mers have been realiiing the advantages of a
liberal tariff, which 'e.ouniges commerce, and'
1 •
throws open the markets of ETrope to their
productions; so much _se that, they will not
readily. consent to' be restriett i to one:market,
or place themselves at the mercy of . such' such a
market, as is offered, and controlled by.those
xvhase instinct is, to buy what they consume
as cheap as , possible, and sell what they man
ufacture as high as - possible. Why, sir, the
average surplus of Wheat in Lancaster county
alone will nearly feed every person engaged in
the Manufacture of iron in Pentailvania. The
oPerutions of a home market are exemplified
by the fact that during every periodf a high
tariff,•the ramier has had'to sell iiis produce at
a low price and for all lie bought, had to pay
the highest price, 'This projeet of confining
the 'farmer to one market by those who want
to protect labor, is very much liketilling ones
friends with kindness. Some idea of its oper
itioiron the farmer may be gathered from 'a.
general statement of the prodect;and cousump
file of the country. The average amount of
wheat raised in this , country will exceed Oriel
hundred millions of bushels; and of earn four
hundred and fifty millions. Now sir, allowing
eight bushels t o each person , en - gaged in man
ufacturing, and one hundred and fifty thousand
for manufiwturing, purposes, which is a liberal
allowance, and you take but about two, and a
half million' from the ono hundred millions;
beside the four hundred and fifty millions of
bushels of corr. And for this vast suplus, we
are asked to pas s"a law that the farmer shall
not go abroad with it, but must take up with
such prices as.he can get at h ome; thus pla.
ehig him entirelrat the tender mercy of those
whose interest will be to mirehase produce at
the lowest possible , price.
Mr. Speaker, I hiteheen interrogatedas to
the cause of the balance-of trade being some
times against ns; and thereby draining the
country of specie. My answer is, that com
merce is en exchange of cemoifity for come
day; and that specie ia_bought and sold, expor
ted sad imported, like any - other article, gee- i
emed by 1.1,e supply or demand for it.: The
export may exceed thrOmport, but it does *mil
necessarily follow that the ex c ess went to pay ;
an indebtedness. The demand - abroad, for it
may have been greater than here, and although
it has gone, there is an equivalent given for it.l
In the exchange of coin ioditY, the import;
may exceed largely' the eipcirts, but it 'does;
not follow that_we are indebted for'the bal
ance. A vessel leaving ounports fora foreign
port, sells-his cargo for a fair Price, over and
above charges JO!' freight and dirty ; and 'with ,
the proceeds exchanges or purchasei thecorn-1
modity of the market it-is in, and returns with i
a cargo of a value beyond that it took out, ofi
the profits and charges upon it. Thus Morel
was imported than exported,,but instead of be-1
ing indebted for the difference, there was. just i
;that amount of wealth accumulated. ;
‘ Mr. Speaker;—Much has been said in the
progress or this debate; about deception being]
practised npori the people of 'Pennsylvania in I
1844, by statements that Mr. Polk teas in Eli.'
vor of the tariff of 1842. It is said that ihl
some sections banners with the inscriptio4 i
Polk, Dallas, and the tariff of 1842, were car.;
ried in processions. Such 4.1 an exhibition
stead of deceiving any , one in my di4rict,
would have been treated as very ludicroirs.-1
Bntsir, who were- deceived by them, or by i
any other cause to believe Mr. Polk was in fa. '
von of the tariff of 1842 ? ' the whig s Were not; I
and if they were they did not' vote for him..-
NaDemocrat who had read the resolutions of
the convention that nominated him could have
been deceived; and sir, I doubt whether any
1
were really deceired at all, however much they
may attempt now to justify their desertion, of
Mr. Polk and the Demoenitic party. If , there
were any among us then who could have beee
deceived in that war, it has been more • from
the position that Pennsylvania has - . been made
to assume on this question by its. politicians,
than from.any other cause; and-the necessity

The Close of the Lewistntttre•
Both Houses of the Legislature adjourned
on Tuesday of . last week.: •
If the session has not been _distinguished
for any important legislation in reference to
measures of general state , policy ;—if unlike
our sister state,•and some previous sessions in
our own history, the o‘ne just pakt has been
comparatively free from angry discussion and
partisan animosity, it has not been barren of
interest,
The Tariff discussion, urged upon the atten
tion of the Legislature by the
,Whigs, though
a national question and brought forward in
the stain- Legislature, undoubtedly, for politi
cal rather than., public purposes, we trust has
resulted in ;.good to the. Democracy and the
people. Thedlscussion elicited thereby; the

State, vltconfirm the people . of Pennsylvania
still stronger, in the liberal and equitableiews
entertained by. 'the Democracy, on this -.great

The introduction of .the Free tanking Bill ;
the zeal with which it was discussed; the uni
versal attention it attracted in the State: 7 -6e
puhlie`ientiment thus moulded, and the imsi
ion assumed by the State Presi, has resulted
in incalculable good. The minds of the peo
ple have been fixed by, a close and candidin
vestigation,. and they, are now prepared to de
cide. the issue whenever it may be forced nion
them.. That decision when given . will be fi
nal, and fix the character of our state_ currency

resistance to the imperious dictation of the
Governor and his friendS, who endeavored by
the terrors of a veto on the appropriation hills,

Trouble In she g.eghilatnee.
- We mentioned a short time since ; that the
Whigs in the Legislature of New YUtk were
•
endeavoring to pass a Bill authorizing - a loan
of nine millions to complete the Erie:canal en
largement. 1 This measure was opposed by
the Democrats in that body, from its i4eeption,
,with great Zeal and eloquence, - on, account o,
its evident unconstitutionality. •
The 12th section of the Constitution ex•
pressly proclaims, u that the State shall con
tract, no debt except to suppress insurrection,
repel invasion and defend it in war, without
first submitting the question to the People."—
The 10th section so far interferes 'with the
above, as to allow the State to loan not ex,
. •-
ceeding one mukioa, when such loan may be
called for;" to Meet casual deficits in revenues
and exPenies not.provided for."
In the face of these, constitutional prOvisH
ions the Bill aboie referred, to was introduc
ed by the Vni,g majority. Mr. Cttaxtmtn,
the Attorney General, 'promptly decided it to
be unconstitutional. ; The Democrats in the
Senate protested warmly against it,iind reSort

gratulate theStato of New • sicirk, that they
