and the Doleware Division, in connex
ion with vartoiM improvements ow ned
by coiijanics beside opening umket
lo l!o productions of tin f irni'r,furnih
rs ou le'.s for coal and other minerals, by
which not only our own citius are miu

and Kistern States lo the ureal advint

are ulso found most I'avoiably adapted
to tho growing of wool, another great
staple of national indpf ndenee, ami
the luciesful application of mineial eoa'
to the molting of iron, Misgiven a new
impetus, aming im, to the? mom impoi
1 0 nt of all the branches of in uiufictui
es.
It is not surprising, therefore, lha1
our people feel i deep anxiety in regan
to lha adoption or thu change of any
policy, on lha pait of the federal gov-prnm-'nt,
which may be euppned lo ef
fect su,h grp:it inieit'M. 7'ne rtgtda

lions pari df the Union, has long been
i vex'.'O cxciling cuieidiun. lis in
fl i' n ts for good or evil, have no doubi
In en greatly exsggerated in different
sections of the cmntiy. 7lie true poli
cy of whe nation would seem to lie be
iwcen the extremes of those, who claim
high duties for t-he meie purpese ofpio-
Icctinjf particular inteiesls, and lhoe
who would not -discriminate m. all, in
Ijytug revenue duties, for the purpose
of fwormg the proJucuonsand industry
. of our own country.
Any course of policy which would
have the efiect lo check the ititel igem
and honest enterprise of our citizens,
and lo retard the developmo.it of oui
national resources, can never receive
the sanction or acquiescence of the peo
ple ot this confederacy, dt is readily
conceded, that no more money ought
r to be collected from imports, than are
r.ecesiarv to meet the constitutional
reqj'.nonts ;f the government, econ
omically administered. 'Hut, on the
other hand, it n maintained with entire
confidence, that in laying duties for this
purpose, such dis criminations for pro
lection, as well as revenue, ought to be
made, (s will favor our own production
and industrry. pticularly in reference
to articles which are of primary nation
al importance, and indispcnsible in time
of war.
This policy was expressly avowed in
the first revenue law for levying duties
upon imports, passed after adoption ol
K fullpral CUntlllnttA t h- I o.,
.rerngnlaoU a otih.ro J io by the fed
eral government, and sanctioned by the
people of the Slates, from that day to
the present, unless, indeed, the com
promise act of 1833, be considered an
exception; and it will be adhered to, so
long as we have a due regard to our in-
dividual and national prosperity and in
clepcnd3nic.
A tariff of discriminating duties, bas
ed on the principles indicated, and so
adjusted as to secure permanence in its
procisions, sustained in its protective
effects by the operations of a constitu
tional treasury, in regulating the iusues
ot our banks, an I checking excessive
importations of mechandizc, will, it i
believed, give more ttabiliiy lo the gen
eral intcreset and business of the coun
try than any other system of policy will
in the contrcl of the federal govern
menf.
I refer lo tho reports of the Canal
tommisioners, for a detail of tlx
proceedings during the past year or
the public improvements of the S ate.
This document contains, among other
thing, a statement, exhibiting the most
of touaga that pished over these works
'during the year, which when compaied
with lha'. of past years, will show thuii
increasing value. It doss not however
exhibit near the whola amount of oui
