On the iedacticnit't4e.Tariff of 18.2—delivered
zn the" Senate of The United Staid, Jolly 23d,
1846: ' '
' PRESIDENT: feel no little
in addressing.the Senate on this subject , - If'
.rny own feelings were'
,consulted, • I should
certainly prefer to be silent,. and leave to
ersinore able; more eloquent, and more ex=
perielfced in' debate, the task of exposing_
the lra.onsisterlers, and follies, Miff the ruin-.
ous effects of 3 111'..tnertsuie now before the
Senate. - 'Enough has - indeed been alre&dy
--said-to-prevent its passage, if truth were to
prevail; and I. iim 'in strong hopes that it will
yet bpslefeated; for it Seems now so
_ie .- 6F
lhati.t.e is none ti -- 7o tf reverericenot one
to raise his votee in its favor, But I cannot
suffer a vote to be taken till I have expressed
my hottility to its passage, and said some
thing iti,delenceiof the industry of my State,
_which it is calculatedfo_ruin.
I come here the representative of -a State
deeply interested in the,developement of her
resources, and in fostering and protecting
-the-industry—of—her-eitizenst-a'-State which
- has expended '-mere -than one hundrecPand
lihy millions of dollars in making those re
sources available: a State which in too wars
has expended more blood . and more treasure
in the common defence, thamany State - in the
Union; a State which has never askedany
favors, from the Union, and -which has recei
ved as little benefit from it as any ono in it;
even the fort which was built for the defence
of her city, with the money of her own ciii;
zens,; has been suffered to go to decay by
the generel 4 'gevernment—a State-proverbial
for the democracy of her sons—so muck so
-that no democratic President was ever elect
ed without her vote; nay, one which never
gave a vote - against a democratic candidate
for the Presidency, until she believed there
was a settled design to desert her dearly
cherished interests.
• You can therefore, Mr. President, imagine
my surpriee'when l- find our time-honored
commonwealth Charged with a want of de
rit ecru.) , in:her opposition to this bill. From
oiie end of her Wide domain to the ether she
does oppose it; and if I fail to show 'she has
abundant eatise, it will but be fee 9f e N y-fi ti t
of defects in the bill. Sd far as she. is con
cerned, it can prodpi:e evil - , and evil-citify._
The support of a system of protection for
the labor of her citizens is with her not new.
t Ts - a lesson - ifie T6ani - e -- a - rf am 1170tiiiier - s - of
the it:public, :and which - Was practised- with
uniform and unviti:fitig conSisle - ney by all her
early- settlers. Her sonsThave , not, and I
trust in God-will-never -prove recreant to the
wholesome lesso^s of their ancestry, It is to
this practice and to-these lessons that she
owes her present •prosperity mid fame.
Go where you will, there is but one senti
ment now pervading the public mind en this
`41.1.),1Pt,.. im e
t.. It has gr with her growth,- and '
'iirengthened with her strength i and there Is
, tiery (Mining tip from all her borders, echoed
from 'every hill and from every valley: hoot
her very bowels, as yomsaw the other (lay,

by, the petition which I presented horn her
hardy miners, whose babitatioris are under
ground:
,from every village, fl om every work
shop. from evbry farm-house, is the ray heard,
: in vokew us to interpose between them and
min. Every legislature -for years has in
strtwted her representatives here to - adhe.e
to het favorite policy; that no man has ever
presented to ask her favor without admitting

It cannot, laid it oughtinot to be disguised,

alluded, that triumph never would haye been
obtained. .J remember the auxjelp,,Oklb

not forget the pains that were taken by the
leading men of the party to • convince the
people that it was evidence of an intention
to protect our interests. Iler confiding citi
zen's gave their 'support in good faith, and
they expected; good faitlr in return. The
letter was published, in English and German,

in.,:pamphlets- by thousands. Eveiy- demo

In' the olden lime Mr. President, when .
-democracy was certainly not less pure 1.112
at present, revenue bills originated• with the

trouble of reflecting upon 'the difficult subject

like the first Lord of the; Treasury to gngland,
makeg a bill, and hands . "t.to the chairman
of the Committee on Finance iu the House.
Cabinet ministers bring all theivinfluence to
bear, and, by the aid of the previous question,
force-the bill through.
It is sent to the Senate, and scime Myste
rious influence there prevents the bill -from

that the - democratic .party-te,

in bad keeping in an Ame4aef 'Senate. '
am Proud to call myself n democrat. am.
the son of a democrat. _ ',represent a Slate
whose democracy -no one will doubt ;. maim
one, I must object to this mode - of fixing
principles on the party. I was taught in early
liie to believe that the democratic party was
the fiend of the poor—of the - laboring classes;
that it. , ; - ptinciples were calculated to elevate
the Masses ; bathe principlesof this solithern
democracy -would rob the poor man of his
labor, arid make him depdndant on the Cap"-
tat'sts of "Eogland, for his scanty subsistence.
Such was not the doctrine of such democrats
as Jefferson.-Madison, Monroe, or Jackson,-
as I have fully shown.

Arnorig the striking effects of the introduc
tion
of this article, fostered as it has been by
our tariff laws, is one for the correctness of
which I appeal to-the Senators of Massachu
asetts: the completion of the Reading Rail
.road, one of the avenues byrcihich the coal
-reaches market, has' nrade such a reaction
in the price of fuel in that State:, that the a
mount saved annually to its citizens equals
the interest on her wfiole State debt ; thus
virtually abolishing the debt , itself. I lake
this State' s a matter of convenience, as it is
he-great..marke.t_ot_the. East. Its effects en
other states, particularly New Ycrl Must be?
equally striking. And yet, if I may be per
mitted
to digress, we see public men, pro
fessing
to represen' the interest of their con- I
stituents, giying their aid to the destruction of
this business, so important to those ,interests,
The anthracite coal is confined to the eas-
tern base of the Allegheny mountains. On
the western slope is -found bituminous
and almost - every western county of Penn
sylvania, and nearly every one of the wes
tern Stateti, abounds in it. I have not had
time to investigate the, amount of business
connected with it;, the operations of .it have
been. confined• to local sections; but it
ins-greatly-Mereased-since the tariff. of 1842
has kept the lintish coal took competing
with it in the New Orleans market. will,
however, give one fact, showing the.efferls
of the, trade and use of this article upon. the
prosPerity . of the country. The city of Pillti

The town of Pittsburghlu 1813 had but
5,748 inhabitants. In ..1840 the population
of the city proper was, 21,166. It is now
45,000—mtire than douled in Six,years. 1

surrounding villages, which are actually a
part of the cify, amounts to the round num
ber of 100,000, and its whole prosperity lois
its origin in its coal and its iron, and the man
ufactures which they have brought into exis

ships on tits gulf is furnished limn the Alen

the hope that b instead of aiding to destroy the
tariff they will look to the many points,

inost important product., of Penn

of Bleat, showing them to be,capable of pro
ducing 152,000.t0ns of pig m etal.. The tariff

and the day is not distant when the State of

Texas letter urges' the annexation Mainly
