iltfort.at CUARACTER AND TitiSABBATII DAY.
No young man can hOpe to risekin society, or
act Worthily his part in life, without a fair
Mal vAisracter. The basis of such a char
acter is a virtuous principle, or a deep fixed
sense of moral obligation, sustained, and in
,rigorated by-the fear and love of God. The,
man who possesses such a character can be
trustedp Integrity,,,truth, benevolence, jus
ti4, are not words : [ without meaning. He
knows and feels theiiiaered import, and aims
in the whole tenor of- his life to explemplify
the [Virtue theyexpmia. Such a man has de
cisien, of charactes; he knovrs What_is right
and!is firm in doing it. Such a man bas in
deptmclence of character; he thinks and acts
for hithrael4 and is-not to be a Insole a tool to
Ferris the purpoies of - a party. Such a than
has Consistency of character;
be pursues ,a
straightforward course ; _ and what he is to
day', you are sure of finding him to-morrow.
Such a man has true worth of character, and
hie, ilife is a blessing to himself, to his family.
and , 'to the world. . Remember the Sabbath
day to keep it 'holy, This is the command
runt from God; and were I to.comprise all
my directions to you in one, it should be this.
!loth' ng . furnishes so sure a protection against
the 41Iurements of the world ; nothing tends
so much , to, invigorate private virtue, and dif
fuse around it healthy public sentiment,: a
serious observance of the Lord's day. No
yourg man, who lia"bitually keeps this day, is
in danger of having his principles undermined
or his morals erupted. There is something
in the very act oicertiting from worldly occu
pations-on this holy - day; and repairing with
the people of God to woiship Him in the
the sanctuary, Which wonderfully tends to
strengthen all goed habits, and to adorn the
disiseter with the charms of a fair and love
ly virtue.'

Wilmot on. the M i rka Question.
The subjoined extracts from speech deliv
ered by the Hon. WO) WILMOT, in Con
gress, July 1, 184'0, we, publish for the pur
pose of girl g oar readers same idea of -the
gross and an Infest inconsistency between. his
coarse then. nd the sentiments . Which he has
more.reeentl expressed in his, letter to Mr.
-Laporte, and Which we published some: two
week's since We- allow to every
mail, pub
lie or private, ,the right to change his opin
ions, provided he does so from :honest conviti
lions of previous error; but: we cahnot sup
pose, in. Mr. Wilmot's case, that the free tra
der of 1840 would be-the tariff man of 1855 ,
if a United States Senator were not to be
elected by the' present LegiSlature. The
change of sentiment in him 'has clearly pro
ceeded -from an iMpure and selfish motive,
and we • confide in_the honesty and intelli
gence of the Legislature to teaci him, what
he does not appear to know, that, under all'
eirenmstances, din politics or trade, honest
and Manly dealing are the only sure*passpOrt
to the respect andconfidence of the people
"Sir, believitig as I do, I cannot give the
influence of my voice, however humble it
may be, in support of the tariff of 1842. I
believe it. unjuit and - oppressive; imposing.
heavy burtlefislupon the labor and industry
of the country, for the purpose of builditigup ,
a monopolizing aria privileged class. lam
opposed in principle to all partial legislation.
I believe-it at War with the*spirit and genius
of Oar institutions, and dangerous to the equal
rights and liberties of the people. This gov
ernment was established for the. - venal benefit
and, protection of its citizens. .If confined
within its, proper and legitithate action, its
duties are simple: regulating our intercourse
with foreign nations, affording protection to
person and property, leaving each to pursue
that particular employment or branch of in
dustry which he may deem most profitable,
or best adapted to his tastes and habits.'
* *
, "Tt is urged by the protectionists, that the
imposition of high restrictive and prohibitory.
duties. benefits the Whole country and every
1
branch ofdomestic industry. Thik, sir,,l-de
ny. In my view the falsity of this propOsi
t:on is as clearly dernonstrable'as any mathe
matical problem.- If what 'was taken fro 6
one man . was returned to bini by another,
and So on, throughout, the whole community
or State, it would benefit no one, but leave
tacit 'standing exactly where he was when the
process commenced. Again, all wealth is the
prodtict of labor. If, by any system of legis
lation, you enhance the profits of a particular
department of labor beyond what' they would
other Wise 'be, you • must- 'of necessity -draw
those increased. profits from the labor - of some
- other. this proposition be correct; thestib-'
ject would seem to resolve itself into an an
swer of the siniple question: Do high protec
tive tariffs increase the profits of the manu
facturer ? If so, it follows that those_increas
ed profits are drawn from some other depart
ment of industry. _ It Would 'really seem un- '
nessary, to those having the.slightest knoWl
edge of this Subject, to expend one moment
in proof of.an'aflirmative answer t 4 this ques
tion. WhO is it that year after year clamors
so loudly for protection ! - Is it the firmer- 7 -•
the industiious and enterprising artizan—tht,
day laborer? ; these men are never
seen - about your hulls, asking the speCial leg
islation of this government In their behalf.— : •
They rely upon their industry - and! eConomy
to obtain fur themselves-and their families a:
livelihood; It is t 4 manufacturers who come
here asking, bounties and protection for the
particular business- in which they have chos
en to . embark their capital. Do they ask•
this in order to lessen
.their pricesand
'sh their profits? - his too absurd for serious .
argument_
_ :
"It is said by the; protectionists that the
industry of the country must be protected.—
This clap-tra4- phrase, together with others,
such as, home markets, i rotectiou against
pauper labor, &c. have los their power over
intelligent and reflecting - men. Is : that pro
tection to the interests of tie country which
levies contributions upon ni te-tenths of its la
bor to buildtup a favored an I privileged class?
The boid.pioneer, whO with - his axe fearlessly
encounters our heavy iforest. and subdues our
rugged soil, makes a valuab e and permanent.
Conquest over nature! for the benefit of man.
I.le has added something tothe world's stack,
and made that.whichfwas useless subservient
.to the happiness . and- support,of his race. Has
lie in his noble undertaking asked the boun
ties of government in - his behalf 1 Has he
conie with greedy and selfish grAsn, demand
ing from the public treasury a. pr(ttnium up
on the land cleared by 'him, or upon the
wheat and corn raised as the product of his
tabor ? Sir, this - man _Asks only protection
limn - the' . spirit of rapacity and 'wrong. Iliit,.
argues the protectionist; we desire to give to
the farmer a market for his surplus produc
tions. Give-to-ban, then, the - markets of the
world—not seek . to restrict nitre in his- chOice,
by 4 sys •o . restrictive and prohibitory du
ties, whi. ;s to countervailing restrictions,
and by l i - - , arro - w and selfish policy renders
those whO. would Otherwise become purchas
ers unable to buy. - lint it is a'home market
that is . tohe given to thefariner. That is, by
shutting 'hint - out from the markets of the .
world, and confining him to- one, you place
hint completely ' in the power of those who
control that market, either to sell at their pri
ces, or not . sell- at all . 'Not only this , bra he
must be prohibited from seeking the tk.st and
cheapest market in which to purchase arti-'
des necessary for the comfort of himself and'
family, but must buy of this same.priVileged .
class at she - prices they. may find it their in
terest:. to demand. Thus. upon both sides the
fanner. fleeced. lam answered by the, pro
tectionists that this is not theease—that the
fitritier is be r neatted by the restrictive policy,
inasintiar as he obtains more from the' maul
,facttirer than he could otherwise get' for his
prodnce,:and buys of him manufactured arti
cles-Aeaper than 11(4 Could otherwise nrdc.ure
theM.:. This, ?sir, is begging the whole ques
tion,; It comma back to.the whole argument,
that high duties ch4apen the articles upon.
which they are imposed. I cannot but repeat
my surprise , that any man who has given to
this subject ,one hour Of, cool; unprepdiced
reflection, should insist upon this position as
'corre i ct. Yet, sir, on thissubject such perver- -
city ii.shown by the adi , Nkates of restriction,
