Mr. PRmnnirr : I feel no little reluctance in
ddreaaing the Senate on thia rohject. If my
own feelinga were conaulted, I ahoulJ certainly
prefer to be rilont, and to leave to others more
able, more eloquent, ami more experienced in
debate, the taak of expoeing the inconsistencies,
and follies, and the ruinous effects of the mens,
are now before ihe Senate. Enough has in
deed been already said to prevent its passage, if
truth were to prevail ( and I am in atronjj hopes
that it will bo defeated ; for it seems now so
poor, that there is none tn do it reverence not
one to raise hia voice in its favor. But I cannot
ruffer a vote to be taken till I have expressed
my hostility to its pai and said tomething
in defence of tho industry ot my Slate, which
it is calculated to ruin. .
I come here the representative of a State
deeply interested in the development of her re
sources, and in fostering and protecting Ihe in
dustry of her tftieens: a State which has ex
pended more than one Tmnired and fifty mil
lions of dollars in making those resources avail
able f a State which In twb wars has expen
ded more blood and more treasure in the com
mon defence than any Stale in the Union ; a
State which his never asked any raVors from the
Union and which has received aa little benefit
from it as any one in it; even the fort which
was built for the defence of her city, with the
money of her own citizens, has been suffered lo
go to decay by the general government ; a
S'ate proverbial for Ihe democracy of her sons
so much so irat no Democratic president
was ever elected without her vote: nay, one
which never gave a vote against a democratic
candidate for the presidency, until she believed
there was a settled deign to desert hvt dearly
cherished interests.
You can, therefore, Mr. President, imagine
my surprise when I find our time-honored com
mon wealth charged with a want of democracy
in her opposition to thia bilk From one end
of her wide domain to the other shtt does op
pose it and ift fail to show that sh has abun
dant cause, it will not be for the want of de
fects in the bill itself. So far aa she is con
cerned, it can produce evil, and evil only.
The support of system of protection for the
labor or her ritiecns is with her not new. it is
a lesson she lesrned from the fathera of the re
public and which waa practised Wilh Uniform '
ami unvarying Consietency by all her early eel-
tiers. Her sons have not, and I trust in God
will ncVt r prove recreant to the whtt'.csome
leMotia of their anC-B ry. It is tn this practice
and to these lessons that she owes her prvscnt
prosperity and fame. .
