REPLY OF
@htirles Brown of Philadelphia,
JOHN M. CLAYTON, OF DELAWARE;
Exposing the misrepresentations of Mr. Claptott
and the Whig party on the subjeet dare TAR : •
IFF—being the concluding portion of a'hipeeck
of Mr Brown to a Mass Meeting of the Dews;
crate of pe/a w are, held at /lover, Aug 6, 1844,
(Concluded.)
This simple resolution, merely to enquire into the
propriety of reducing the relenno to the wants of the
government, is dragged from its obscurity thus to fur,
nigh evidence of hoslility to protective tariff. Nq
eye but lien .lohn clayttails poald have discos;
erect in it any thing but the mere even. day gis t
meaning resolutions that are offered on all sorts ors*
jests. Nor did the House look upon it in any other
light; fur it refused its consideration when offered, anal
nothing further followed.
But suppose that it was all that Mr Cl4ylFl , ll tan it
was—on attempt to diatilrb the corriprotetse set-,
would that have been the destruction of the protecting
policy? On the contrary, would it not rather have
been the salvation of it? For long before the final re:
duction of duties under the compromise act had takaq
place, the revenue fell far short of the expenditures of
the government. and the very fact that thu democratic
administration did nut violate the compromise act, and
raise the duties to the revenue ;tandem], the object of
the resolution se aandemavd by Mi Claytoe, is by
Mr Clayton in thisspeech imputed as a crime.
Having now noticed all the charges and specifics;
Bons brought by Mr Clayton against Mr Polk, 1 beg
your indulgence while I review some of the sayingi
and doings of his opponent, Mr Clay. I will not utr
dertake to prove that Mr Clay has been or is oppoied
to a protective tarif, or any iither kir.d of a tariff, for
it would be much easier to prove that hp has 4:tm la
favor of all sorts of tariffs, as it would best suit his
purpose, or gain him votes. I know that it has been
usual to call Mr Clay the "father of the American sys . -
tem," meaning protective duties. Ent it should be
recollected that such duties were laid by Congress
when 41r Clay was—what his partizans lately attemp :
tad to magnify into, greatimportance, but what proved
a signal failure—a mill hey of the Slashes." Hq
must have been too young then to be father of nay alp
tern. He certainly never claimed to he the father of
die protective act of 1816 or of that of 1824, Doe 44
he vote fur them; and that of '2B he utterly reptidiates,
and attempts to prove upon the democrats, in his let
ter to Mr Bronson, as "highly discreditable to Amer*
can legislation." In the same letter he says—"l fltiok
there is no danger of a high tariff being ever estoislish
ed," and in that to Mr Meriwether claiming for
self any thing else than the paternity of high tariffs t
"I did not vote for the Tariff of 1328, for whieh t
however, Mr Van Buren, Col Benton, Col Johnson
Mr Wright, and others of our present opponents
vote. And it is remarkable that from that per,
my exertions in Congress have been directed to the
reduction and modification of tariffs. Thus, in
1832 I supported the tariff, which greatly modified
and reduced the tariffof 1323, insomuch that it was.
supposed by reasonable men that it would or ought tq
satisfy the Nullifiers erSouth parolina. The next
year, 1833, I brought forward the compromise. It/
1841 I supportei the tariff of that year, which was
imited to the fFee articles."
Nor would it be in any way difficult to prove Mr
Clay a friend to 'free trade," and ready 100 willing
to place "American labor" on the same footing as the'
"pauper labor of Europe," or the "potatne growing
Irish, and the grain growing serfs of the borders of
the Baltic and the Black sea," so much dreaded b
Mr Clayton. In a speeeh delivered by him (Mr Clay
in the Senate, March 22d, 1842, he thus disco tiros 0
free trade:
!•What is free trade? does it mean trade betweert
ma nations with freedom on one 2 . !itip, and all sorts or
lestrictions on the °diet? is' that free trade? OF
goes it mean to trade with, nbsOlHtu freedom? rkat is,
with no duties atoll—or very low duties, and strictii
equal duties on both sides? If that is the Senator -5
meaning, I wilt not stop to discuss the question.
should be glad to sec nniversal freedom of trade es
tablished over the fare of the whole world."
Again he says in his letter to Mr Meriwetbor,
char .. .
1 . never was in fever o f what I regarded as a high
tariff. And my present opinion is in perfect coinci
dence with that of the whole Whig party of the United
States. including Oeurgin, as 1 understand it."
To know what 11;9 opinigns of rho whig ne,trfy of
Georgia were, and with which Mr day says Vier 14
is in "perfect coincidence," wo need only refer to the
opinions of all tho wlrrie, members of Congress, frosq
Georgia, to the last Congress, whose speeches Mr
Clay no doubt had read, nod which furnish the best
evidence of the opinions of the whig party of Georgia.
Mr. iiabershurp, made q long report from the Ti'
nority of the Committee on Maupfactutert, agoinsj pro
tective tariffs and their "ruinous effects," and made s
long speech to prove them.
Mr. Warren called upon all, "both Whigs and loco
locos of the South," to unite in opposition to "'such a
partial system of triat ion."
Mp Gamlilo said it was a "monstrous systejp, a sys
: tern which makes the rich richer and the pools 1?!-Nr
: cr," an t that "it is high time (or us to tiliancion this o
dious (and etc might any exploded) doctrine in Great
Britai'fi." &I: the Tariff Bill in particular, ha adds
that it is "highly protective."
Mr Merriwether said that "the power to protect do.
mestic manufactures was denied to the rpcfr r al Pthettrt
roent by the Convention which formed the Constitu
tion," tind - therefore, the mcerpise of this power by Con
gress is too palpably unconstitatiocal to be justified for
a moment."
I challenge Mr Clayton, or Mr Any-body-else, to
find in all that Mr Polk has ever said or written, any
thing half so strong in favor ,of free trade as i. Ap t
speech and letter of Mr Clay's.
This, strongly as it. it tinctured with 'free trade,' does
not to my mind cast the hundredth part of the doubts
of the sincerity of Mr. Clay's friendship for t6orote
tive policy, us do other speeches and voles thf hi 2.
In 1341, when Mr Clay and hitt frien.)s., into
afr
power, it is well known that the duties under 1 E
Aort7
promise act had dwindled down to fir '6d:ow filo.
tective or the revenue point. On the - I st of nay
1841, a whig Congress met is . extra session. bid
Mr Clay then propose to raise the duties on the pro
tected ar ticles? lie never intimated such anllttetation.
nu the contrary, ristead - tif thus raising the protective
articles, I lls and his pally passed an act levying
. 4utien
on the "tree articles'—tbe arriclea . left Tree by
tariffs of 183'3 and 1833, for which Mr Polk voted"
and' advoctited, as expressly left free to aidthe man
ufacturing, mechanical and agiiculturnl Inbar' of Abe
country. I look upon this act of Mr Clay's, and so
charged it at the time, as a deadly thrust at the pro
tective policy of the country. Then was the time, if
ever, that the A merican system needed a father, distils?
labor of the country needed protection; and then it w as
chat the laborers calletl I?nrily unknktArtfor'bre'ag
but Mr. Clay and hi s WfuTg friends gave them a stow. '
That these articles thug taxed by Mr. Clay toad beearitift
free to aid the protective policy, I have the eviiihin;e
of Mr Polk and Mr. Clayton, and Mr. Clay binnsieff.
they were, according to Mr Clayton's notion, the
,rear protective principle of the compromise; act. '
•hits speaks of them;
"He could not, understand how any get maw co* ,
,tand up in the face of all the exemption which tbelsß
contained of articles used by the manufacturer, and irior
that there was any intention to abandon
►
if protection."
Mr Clay says,
