This advice alarmed Fergus a little. He

would prevent his seeing across the pond,
and the idea of venturing out of sight ol

our country. The public good is the rule
by w hich we s-hould be guided in the per

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

"We must command our own consump

been the sentiment of Pennsylvania from
the dawn of Independence. And as a free
man, born upon the soil, I may be permit

the onward prosperity of ihe iron, coal aud
agricultural interests of this State
The new settlements being ot-ened up in
ihe far W'rst, embracing ihe Territories 01
Texas, California and Oteon, must of ne-
cessity increase ihe surplus produce of the
soil. Upon foreign countries our farmers
can never depend with ecrlauity, tor a per
ma nent, profitable market. It is then lore
thesafest nd wisest policy lo create a home
market for ihe Ihrmer, by encouraging do
mestic manufactures, ui.tier Hii-.li revenue

Tr.e d'tctrtrie of "let trade regulate il-

look upon the permanent and prosperous
es'ablibhmcnt of free labor.in this country,
as ihe most effectual mean, in the niyster
