Concluded. farmer there, to give a higher money price for mitiufictures to tbe domestic establishments, which will taka the productions of his farm in exchange, than to obtain thess mnufictures at a mich lower rate from the foreign' establishments, which will take scarcely any thing he has to give. A new demand, and almost a new value, are created for his productions, by the domestic factories; and while he gives, nominally, more for minuftctures, hs gives, really, much less. And it U strange tail it should not b2 perceived, that what is tni5 of th j northern hrraers, is eqully truss of tho ft'mthsra planters. The Ejropen ininufictories furnish the nitural onrlcet fjr the U-tter, for the sm reason precisely thU thj northern rmrrrhctories furnish t ho natural nurket for the former. That re-ison is, becviae the European manufictories will take, in exchange for their minnfie(ure9, nine hundred thousand biles of cotton, which the northern rmnuf.ictories tvill not, and cannot take. It is, therefore, in all respects a3 unjist anI tyramicnl, to obstruct or impede tlie free inrereourss of the southern planters with their natural mar. kets abroad, as it would be to obstruct or impede, in like manner, the free intercourse of the northern formers, with their natur.il markets, the domestic manufactories.

But the committee have not yet finished thi exposition of the evils inflicted on the planting States by the protecting system, taken in connexion with the fiscal operations of the government. No just cslim ite can be formed of the oppressive action of the Federal Government upon the southern states, which does not add to the inequality of its exactions, the still greater inequality of its disbursements. I o lew one half of the federal revenue from cotton and rice alone the productions of one-fifth part of the federal population would he, in itself, sufficiently oppressive; but to levy this most unequal contribution from that part of the Uiiion where imported manufactures are produced, and expend it, almost exclusively, in that part where untaxed protected manufactures are produced, is almost to duplicate the burthen, and is quite enough to account for the general decay and desolation which have silently overspread, and are still overspreading, the devoted region of the south. To sum up and express the intolerable grievances of the southern states, in a single phrase, they are reduced to the very worst condition of colonial bondage to the tarifF states. They are prohibited from exchanging their productions with the best and most extensive customers on earth, under a penalty of forty per cent, on th ir value, for the avowed purpose of compelling them to make their exchanges with the very worst customers in the world. In other words, they are prohibited, under the penalty stated, from trading with all parts of the world but the manufacturing slates, precisely as the British American colonies were prohibited from trading with all parts of the world but the mother country. Tlie principle of the prohibition 'is strictly identical in both eases, and we hive only to substitute "manufactering states" for 4'mother country," and "southern states" for "American colonies," to have the story of the wrongs and oppressions of our common uncestors, literally transferred to a portion of their posterity. In point of fact, however, there is this striking difFjr ence: The colonial restrictions of our ancestors were almost purely nominal, 1 1 V 1 1 -a i Y 1 1 I ii.icausc me moi.ier country auorded ; mem tne best market in the world, bolh for their sales and sales and DUrCliaseS. i I he very reverse of this is true as it regards the restrictions irnnosed nnnn the trade ofihe southern States. The markets from which those restrictions are intended to exclude them, are the very best in the world, while that to which they are intended to confine them, is decidedly the worst. Conclu give proof of this is found in the fact, that they still continue to trade to the proscribed markets, paying the heavy penalty, rather than trade with the manufacturing states, without paying any penalty at all. Regarding the f protecting duties in the light of-fines! and forfeitures for violating -this new code of colonial restrictions, wc have only to see the revenue derived from this source squandered in improvements, and other forms of expenditure, in'the favored region, to have a perfect picture of Rome and Italy, flourishing in bloated prosperity upon the plunder of the subject provinces. In confirmation of the views here presented, all the phenomena exhibited in the manufacturing State?, will be found equally with iiiom exhibited in

the planting Slate?, fo correspond with the idea that the protecting duties are specific aod ruinous taxes on the industry of the south, and sustaining bounties to the industry of the north. With a very small share of the natural advantages enjoyed by the planting States, the manufacturing States are every where covered with monuments and evidences of a thriving and prosperous industry, which has scarcely any parallel, while the former are equally covered Willi melancholy memorials oftbrift-

less toil, impovertshmpnf, and ruin. it is impossible that-; these, phenomena can exist without cause, and no known causa so nalnrnlly accounts for them as the urn qn il action of the government. The most intelligent advocates of the manufactures allege, that the repeal of the protecting dutic3 would produce a scene of desolation in the manufacturing Slates, as striking as that which is nor? exhibited in the planting Sfa'es. This is a distinct ad- ! mission of all that the committee have said of the unequal operation of tlie protecting duties. Congress has no alchemic power?, and certainly has not yet t t J! Tf r !

who receive tlie taxes, directly or indi rectly; and the allegation, that the re peal of the discriminating taxes upon imports would rain the manufacturers, is an admission that they, in effect, receive those taxes. What right of the manufacturers would bo violated by reducing the duties to a revenue scale? Would it he any thing more than the assumed right of taxing thpir fellow citizens? Ifnw would the reduction of the duties injure them? Could it, Inhuman possibility, be in any other way, than by substituting some other productions of domestic industry, for the protected manufactures? And can it be doubled, that the producers of the substituted articles have a natural, unalienable, and constitutional right to introduce and use them, and that they i will be as much benefitted by the resto ration of tneir right so to introduce and use them, as the manufacturers can possibly he by their exclusion. In conclusion, the committee will present, in a few words, the estimate they Slave formed of the relative burthens arid benefits imposed and confened by ih.e protecting system upon the three geographical divisions of the Union, the northern, the southern, and the western States. So far as the protecting duties operate merely as taxes upon consumption, there can be no great inequality in the burthens they impose upon the difirtrent portionscf the Union, and whatever inequality there may be, as it is founded upon a larger consumption, it may be fairly presumed to be accompanied by a corresponding ability to tonsu-i e. But regarding the protecting duties as taxes discriminating and partial taxes upon production, there is nothing but inequality in their operation. As the commit lee have already slated, the protected manufacturers do not bear any part ol the burthen imposed upon the community by the enhanced price of their own productions. On the contrary, as most of them sell those productions t a much larger amount than will equal the amount which they consume oi all productions, foreign and domestic, enhanced in their price by import duties, it follows, that the bounties they receive on their production, are much greater than the taxes they pay on their con sumption. 1 he committee will now go 1 one step further. It wiil not be denied hhit th m.nnf.rinrin,, Q-ota ., a :nrer mnnni ! tures than will equal the amount con- ! sumcd by their entire population, of j protected and rival foreign muiufactures. . viewing the manufacturing Slates, therefore, as a consolidated community, the aggregate amount ot the burthens imposed upon them by tne wnoie protecting system, is not j equal to uie amount ct the bounties conferred upon them by that system; t fact which fully explain?, what to many seems to be unaccountable the unuring perseverance and increasing unanimity with which the protecting system, in all its branches, is maintained i by those S;at?s. gaiding the protecting system, there. ore, as it operates both upon production and consumption, it imposes no burthen at all upon the manufacturing States, considered as one entire community. The operation of this system upon the southern or planting Slates, is almost precisely the reverse of what it is upon the northern or manufacturing States. The former certainly consume' as largely of articles affected by the protecting duties, as any of the oth-

cr Slate?; and consrquenlly bc-nr their due proportion ol tbe burthens imposed by those duties on the consumption oi the country. But the whole of the burthen which these duties impose upon production, falls almost exclusively upon the planting States, through their productions, for the same reason, and to at least the same extent, that they operate as bounties to the rival productions of the manufacturing states. It is pcarcely a -possible supposition, that discriminating taxes levied upon the productions ol the planting State?,

can diminish the exchangeable value of those productions, less than they iciea?c the exchangeable value of the rival productions ot the. rmriUfacturirg States. The former i et-ult is both the cause and the measure of the latter, The lowest estimate that can be ieasocably made of the diminution produced in the xchangeable value of the southern staples of exportation, is 20 per cent, or one half of the protecting duty imposed upon their conversion into manufactures, by the foreign exchange. It is believed to be, in point of fact, much greater. But even according to this estimate, the specific and exclusive buithen imposed upon the exports of the planting States would he seven millions of dollars, astuming that their exports amount to thirty-fivj millions, and that imposed upon cotton and rice alone, would be six millions, thousand dollars, as has been hereto fore shown, is an exclusive burthen upon the cotton planters, for the exclusive benefit of the protected manufacturers. It ibuaappears that the people of the plan'ing States, sustain an annu al i uncompensated burthen of at 1 ted burthen of at least eight millions s of doll ars, in addition to the burthen which they bear, in com mon with the people of the other States, as consumers of imported and protected articles, and this burthen is rendered almost doubly injurious to the planting, and beneficial to the manufacturing States by the inequality of its disbursement. The western States, while they derive scarcely any advantage from the protecting system and bear their due proportion of the taxes imposed upon consumption, also sustain a peculiar buithen upon their productive industry, which deserve explanation. Ii has been already stated that these States annually sdl to the planting States, live slock to the amount of three millions of dollars; and it cannot be reasonably doubted, that if the planting States enjoyed a fiee trade, the vast increase which it would produce in the income and prosperity of the planters, would enable them to purchase double the amount of live stock which they no iv purchase from the western States, and to pory better prices for it. To this extent, the western States sustain an injury in the diminished demand for their productions, and consequent diminution of their price, in addition to the taxes they pay as consumers; and lor which they receive scarcely any indemnification from the protecting system. This is particularly the case with Kentucky, h would seem to be ulincst a suicidal policy in that State, to tax tlie productions and diminish the incomes, of her beet customers, in order to give I a prefi rence to the productions, and to inc rease the incomes, of those who will purchase scarcely any thing she has to sell. Notwithstanding the existing restrictions, how small a portion ol the productions of that Slate, find a maiket in the manufacturing States, in com parisonwith the demand for them in the planting States. Upon tlit whole, then, the protecting system is utterly' miaous to the planting Slate?; ii iuriou? to the western Stale, and ex iusivelv heneti ial to the ! manufacturi. rr States', and ought to be ! , , . y. , ' I abandoned with all convenient and j practicable despatch," Upon every prin-' ciHe of bisticp. niitrioiir-.m. and sound i pulicj . i- I Baltimore, Feu. 7.

Horrid Murder ! We learn fromarespectable source, that on the 21st ult. a man residing in the Gore District, Upper Canada, whose name is Sovereign, murdered his wife xs ix of his children, comprising his whole family, except one child who, as we unders(and,1was in bed with two others, who were killed, but being small, had crowded down under their clothes, and was not discovered by his cruel father. The circumstances as related to us, were as fellows. j errign, who was an intemperate man 'called at his brothel's who lives near, and keeps a tavern, asked for liquor which was refused. From this he became enraged, went home &, threw one of his children on the fire and proceeded to kill his wife nnd the rest of his children, but by what means, cur informant did not learn.

Each day's intelligence from Washington, strengthens cur conviction that the republic is in danger. An adjustment of the tariff, without which the hope of tranquillity is vain, is scarcely within the compass ot possibility, while the turbulent elements of civil commotion, continue at work.

As an evidence of the desperate excitement kindled in the South, we quuie an extract from tho speech of Mr. Coed; upon the lloor of Congress, in opposition to the removal o! Gen.

It will require hut little reasoning on the part of the people to place this subject in its true light. The ''passing events and political aspect," spoken of by Mr. Thompson, as menacing a dissolution of the Confederacy, it is well known, originated with and are now controlled by Clay and Calhoun. The President has declare?! that "the Union must be preserved:"

; and this sentin ent has invoked upon ine nead ol tlie intrepid patriot, the implacable hatred of all who are aiiaing at its dismemberment. Ii is in this fearful and troubled hour, that is to try lSe strcngih of our institu;iot:s, and decide the cxpciiment c self-government which we are making., that all true patriots should rally round the President, and support him in the stand he has taken.
