A regulation cf the castv-ns with a view to the pre tccucn ot i)!"i!iches ot domestic industry has ia thi- as in all other countries, bce:i dceuied, iro n the intitulion of our roveramcnt, an ohject ot the ir.giiest impor
tance; and has ia this more perhaps than ; in the quarters from which it was least to liny other proved a matter of great delicacy be expected; and at once gave a decided and difficulty. Although mtn are never j turn to it, which is rapidly leading to a het--wanting on cither side cf any question, who j tcr state of things. The attention of the hesitate not with all the peremptoriness of great mass of the pernio has been for the
infallibility, to press their own partial and interest-warped views, their sweeping dog mas and crude schemes, upon the adoption cf Congress, the most enlightened, dispassionate and patriotic men who have given their attention, to this subject .acknowledge the great practical difficulties with which h gidarion upon it is beset. Hat the intrinsic difficulties which it presents, serious as they are, have been far less detrimental to the public interest than those which have arisen from its connexion with party politics One of the greatest evils to which political institutions such as ours are 5 abject, is the peculiar liabii.ty of the wisest and most salutary policy to be carried to absurd and pernicious extremes; not only through the errors of enthusiasm, but thro' the influence of a morbid appetite for political d'stinction. These two principles of mischief a:e, indeed, in man can s, found united. When an ambitious individual aims at making himself conspicuous as the champion ot a policy already in fiver, his first step is to push his views in regard to it further then is waranted bv the existing state cf public opinion, as influenced by men of prudence and moderation. The course is open to others also; and competitors arise who are not tube out-done in efforts to become eminent public benefactors m the proposed futn. In this race of extravagances natters go on from me step to another, until a revulsion ia pubhc sentiment ocrurs the ambitious hones are disappointed, .infer, resentment and recklessness take the place t patriotic arc.or, ana t ae punlie interests, which have become no involved perhaps that it is unpossi re to exrncate titem withoitt injury, arc made to sustain in various wavs the efforts of the cxpl Ki'.n 1 ue s lcj ect under consideration h; exposed in a remark: ih'.e decree to this doleterieus iniluence.

aponthis mischief, which it alone could sub '.J X " ' ' " " I nue. In his hrt message to Congress he thus expressed himstlf: 'In deliberating therefore on these interesting sabjects, local feelings and prejudices should be merged in the tj.ktriotic determinatiott to promote the great interests of the whole. All attempts to connect them with the psVCuGSs of the day arc necessarily injiirioSfop should be discountenanced. Our action Uiana should be under the control of higer anl purer motives. Legislation subjected to s,uch influences can never be just, and will not long retain the sanction ot the people, whose active patriotism is not hounded by sectional limits, nor insensible to that spirit of concession and forbearance which gave life to our political compact, and still sustains it. Discat ding all calculations of political ascendancy, the North, the South, the East and the 'West should unite in diminishing any burthen cf which either may justly complain." More and more convinced as he proceeded in his administration, of the impossibility of effecting a satisfactory settlement cf this difficult and disturbing subject, until greater influence should be allowed to this patriotic advice, lie, in his next annual message, again pressed it upon the attention of Congress "That our deliberations (says he) upon this interesting subject should be uninfluenced by those partisan conflicts that are incident to free institutions is ti.e feiwnt wish of my heart. To makeSjus afcV question, which unhappily so muciclv iT.es and excites the public mind, subser-vWrNt q, the short-sighted views of faction, muVdestroy all hope of settling it satisfactorily to the great body of the people, and for the general interest. 1 cannot, therefore, on taking leave of the subject, too earnestly fumy own feelings or the common good, warn you eg c"'u.t the. bhghlir.g consequence" i.f such a coarse." These admonitions were, however, in a great measure ma le in vain. Nothing short of the voice of the American People, again proclaiming in a tone not t.A he misunderstood, their steadfast confidence ia Andrew Jackson, their CGncarrenee in ids' views, and their sympathy in his enlar ged patriotism, and agam demem.tratuvr their Axed determination to support a man j of his stamp ngVmst atl the combinations of local and particular interests that could lie arrayed against him, nothing short of th.'t voice, it seems, was sufficient to exortise the evil spirit whicti it was necessary to su'ulue and to drive away. Its efficacy, however, has soon become manifest. It has induced a better consideration of the subject, even first time awakened to it, and a general pu'lie sentiment is already set against ail fur tlier use of this vitally interesting subject as stilts for politicians to stalk upon. The sentiments which Gen. Jackson has for the last four years been so earnestly inculcating, h ive been adopted by Mr. Clay himself, for w hom, up to a very late day, has been claimed as his proudest boast, the parentage of this system, and the fostering of its growth to the most extravagant and illimitable extent. It must have been with no small satisfaction that Mr. Clay, whose support loebecn uniformly placed upon his unbounded devotion to the protective ' system, whose partisans have made it their watch-word in all elections, and who have summoned to their banners all who ( according to their vocabulary ) w ere patriotic enough to prefer the interests of American to that of foreign industry, that Mr. Clay, himself, was heard at the last session so feelingly lo express tire "wi-h to see the Tariff .sc. ted yree: t.'w : stoics r.f the fjunini' Hat this is not the ouiy particular in which the views of his opponents have been bru't to his standard.

F. ver; man in the country knows, that the late Congress had no such power; and must be aware, that (even supposing no intermediate, legislation to take place) whether the pfoposed rate shall be continued or not, must depend upon the then opinion of the country as to its fitness: in regard to which no opinion can now be formed. It must have been apparent, to , that an) pretension on the partcf the late Congress to tie up the hands of that of 18-1-2, would be calculated to defeat rather than secure its object. Hut why waste oar time in speculations upon a subject on which the convention have been so explicit. In the report upon which the Ordinance cf provocation is foun ded, they say: "F.ut great as must be the advantages of these reductions, they are small j in comparison with the distinct recognitions j in the new bill ot two great principles which we deem of estimable value that ihc duties suiit eiv.v.'acA'v be brought dzivn to t!;e revenue U:it!u)! even if it" shall be found necessary to reduce the duties on the pro tected articles below vJj per cent, and that u w, r nioue; su.:u be ruined 111 stu::! iV ! nrcesxuYij t. an economic (f the v jrrr.:ricnt.

In proportion as the delicacy of the subject increased, from the agitation of the public mind upon it and the approach of another Presidential contest, was he more earnest and unreserved in his endeavours to bring Congress to act upon it. It was in his last annual message preceding that struggle, when, yielding to the wishes of the people, he had consented to be again a candidate, that he pressed the subject' upon Congress with the greatest solicitude, and urged them to act up n the very principles now so enthusiastically lauded by the South Carolina convention. That part of his message which has immediate reference to it is in the ! following words; "The confidence with which the extinguishment of the public debt may be anticipated presents an opportunity tor carrying into effect more fully the policy in relation to import duties vhich has been recommended ia ir.y former messages. . nizdijicati'jr: rt tf.c 1 urjj zv::c.': s:;:U f.ro tfuci a reducHo'i of cur n-z-ruurfj the war.: cf the ijvirr.fr.enf, vitfi a virrj to c'tinl j::t::c ri rclathn to all ,ur nutional iutcrcv.'o-, una fj the ccunu-rucun: rf rn in ft Aicy no t'erc it :uay be injur: ju? o th'.-"" in.'y.s.s, iv dt c.-ncd i'jfic one c-f the ftrinci.cl 0 tc' , ,7,-, 1 iier.fZKd t:ie ai'cn'hn rJ the ' .'. en' C 'c e'-r.s Nor w e re his exertions dentthatan opposition to his re-election of unprecedented activity, violence and bitterness was determined upon, when the Hank Was marshalling Its numeiiis and well appointed cohorts for the contest, and it was openly announced on the floor cf Congress, that the question fjr the people was- "the Hank without Andrew Jackson, or AndrewJack son and no Hank," when the religious kelinrs f the nation were sought to be played open, by two different devices, well suited to enlist them against him when the ranks ot ancient federalism, with a f-w isolated exceptions, were once moie formed to make the victoiy cei lain, when Mr. Ciay a(b:ingthem to the revenue standard, surh rod, notion shall then be made.

To be ure, he recommended also, that m reducing the duties to the revenue standard, due regard should be paid to Uie interests on whicti the reduction might operate. His sense of justice was too strong to permit him to ovei look what was due to those interests; and if it hsd not been, his judgment was to-j sound to permit him to believe that it wa, practicable to effect any arrangement in w hich they should be overlooked. The event is the best commentary upon his course.
