The public good is the rule by w hich we s-hould be guided in the per iormance of relative dunes; and to ibis cen tral point the legislature ahould invariably direct all its deliberations. At an early day, I took lessons iu the school of Simon Snv der on this very question of protection to the infant manufactures of the Union ; and time has had no effect to change my view and wishes, w hich have been expressed in the Senate, in fevor of a permanent estab lishment ol a home markef.as the only sol id basis ol national propurny : And here I nn ad ), it is very re-nai kalile thnt all the Democratic Governors of this Common- in- i tv.n!ih ttt.urr. ta f'-.iv- Shotilt have n-sio. 1 ained ground in favor of prolecl.on tvj hOn.e lubor.
