large appropriations to our harbors and Cot tifications,
many of which are now in the state of dilapidation and
decay. It seems to be equally well settled. that in the
impositions of those duties, care should be taken
so to discriminate as to give protection to the
products and manufactures of our country. In oth
er words, to make it the means, in the! language of
the act 1789, for "The encouragement and protection"
of our domestic Industry in all its branches. It can
scarcely occur hereafter that the expenses of the gen
eral government will be less than twenty-five mi lions
of dollars per annum. That sum raised with proper
discriminations, in addition to the amount necessary
to payoff the existing public debt, would affot d, in the
opinion of many, a sufficient protection to our home in
duster. Our farmers and manufacturers need a regu
lar and permanent system ; one that shall not by being
unduly oppressive upon one portion of our citizens be
continually inviting and exciting opposition and hos
tiTdr or by beingtoo low, prostrate domestic industry
at the foot of foreign capital and labor. My system
would be to impose such duties on all articles the like
of wkick we can produce or manufacture at home,
as Weald save oar own people from the gluts which
foreitnrapitalists might create in our markets with the
view of destroying our own products or manufactures
in their infancy, or in time to complete, having a deci
ded advantage on their side, with the foreign producer
or manufacturer.
" In carrying out this system however, T should ever
keep in view the principles which governed the sages
of 1787 in adopting our Constitution. In communi
cating the result of their labors to congress, they said:
"It is obviously impracticable in the Federal Govern
ment of these states to secure all t ights of independent
Sovereignty to each. and yet provide for the interest
and safety of all. Individuals entering into society
mutt give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest.—
The magnitude of the sacrifice must depend as well
on situation and circumstance as en the object to be
obtained. It is at all times difficult to draw with pre
cision the line between those rights which must be sur
rendered, and those which my be reserved', and on the
present occasion this difficulty was increased by a dif
ference; among the several states as to Their situation,
extent, habits and particular interest. In all our de
liberations on this subject, we kept steadily in our view
that which appears to us the greatest interest of every
true American, the Consolidation of our Chtion, 'in
which is involved our prosperity, felicity, safety and
perhaps our National existence. This important con
sideration, seriously impressed on our minds, led each
state in the convention tc be less rigid in points of in
ferior magnitude, than might have been otherwise ex
pected, and thus the Constitution which we now pre
sent, is the result of o spirit of amity and of that
mutual deference and concession which the peculiar
_ ity of our political situation rendered indispensible."
We should ever keep in view in administering the
Government the principles on which, end the spirit
in which it was formed, and I think this can and will
be done by giving fixed and certain encouragement
and protection to all the chief products of our domes
tic industry, in a revenue tariff properly discrimina
ting is its details. I would do this, not that I have
awy doubt of the power of Congress to grant protec.
ties, even for the sake of protection; but from motives
of policy to make the system certain and permanent,
tai to prevent sheaf) ruinous flnctuations in business,
growing out of the doubts and fears engendered by the
masstant agitation of the question in the political die
cutsions and contests of our country.

The above is copied from a letter written at Wash

It is to be regretted that althri "no reasonable
