"THE OLD ARM CHAIR," T '?ve it, I love it, and who shall dare chide me, fur loving that Old Arm Chair, 1 ve treasured it long as a holy prize, - - - ? ?? J .*4 I've beiJew'ii it wild tears,.? no cmuunncu it huh | sighs ; Would ye learn the spell! A imther sat (here, And a sacred thing is that Old Arm Clnir. In childhood's liour I lingered near That hallowed spot with listening car; And gentle the words that mother would give, To fit me to die?to teach me to live. She told me ill would never betide, With truth for my creed, and God lor my guide'? She taught ine to lisp my earliest prayer, As I knelt beside that old arm chair. I sat and watched her many a day When her eye grew dnn and her locks were grey ; [ And I almost worshipped her when rhc smiled, And turned from her llihie to bless her child. Years rolled on?the last one sped, My idol was shattered, my earth star lied, ] learned how much the heart can bear When I saw her die in that old arm chair! 'Tis past, 'tis past?but I gnze on it now With quivering breath, and throbbing brow, 'Twa? there she nursed me?'twas there she died, And memory flows with lava tide. Say it is folly, and deem me weak, While the seal 'ing drop starts down my check? #ut 1 love it?I love it, and cannot tear Aly soul from that mother's old arm chair. ? i?iiii ?l)C0lio.

This is much cheaper than t our people can afford to make it at. They i therefore ask the Government to require the ' payment of twen.lv dollars per ton by way i of duty. The importer, therefore, instead of t selling for forty dollars per ton, must ask < sixty dollars, to reimburse himself for what { he has paid out abroad, and to the Govern- 1 incnt. Every person, therefore, in the Uui- i ted Stales, who purchases railroad iron, has I to pay twenty dollars more for each ton.? 1 mti'ont onroc to i t I IICIC HI ll'M> uv n | rx/u ji; UM ?

I ty dollars por ton, engage in the manufac- I lure, ami llms find cniphwinent. While so > engaged, those persons consume lite produce j of Hie farmers and others, and thus make a |1 home market for agricultural productions.? j . We see, however, that t'te loss of twenty < dollars per ton falls on aii those in any pari..'; of lite United Slates who may construe the i i iron; but the benefit is confined |o those per- j sons who are engaged in making iron, and j ( those.who live so near them that lltoy ran ' i ilw.i,. in,;> 1,1 i|lf. larlo- ! : CUli\CIIIUIIl 4> ' i iikm.uvv ? lies, in lad, I his sort of manufacturing is ' confined i?? the Stale of Peuii.svlvar.ia, and l perhaps a lew oilier localities, lint my con- : .siilnenis can no more pay the manufacturers of Pennsylvania lor iron in tin: production of ( iheir farms than they could the ritish iron masters Ji is therefore to our advantage, 1! as uc musi pay f.?r it in cash, to get iron at the lowest rate. This is true ol the JSonth- '< ern and Western people generally. This , i illustrates iheeiihet of our revenue and pro- ' 1 leclive svstem. The hurden isd.tlused over I 1 . .. I I:?..i , lilt: whole country, urn me iiuucui is imnicw lo i!io manufacturers and to those persons i w ho result: so near as lo have i he re by a bet- ; ler market; very h'llc more than one-third ; < of the Union <;e!s the bench! of lite system, i in exclusion mainly of the South anil West. j1 It snot easy to incaMire tlie precise extent ji ol this burden. !i has been estimated that I two-thirds of nil the artieles which would, : I if imported, be subject to pay a duty, are jj produced in the. United States. To return, 11 lor ready illustration, to iho case of railroad j I iron, li two of c\cry three tons of iron j I consumed in the United Stales wore made h in this country, it would follow that the per- J I s in who consumed those three tons of irOn. I I while he paid twenty dollars to (lie Govern- i itieul on the ton imported, would pay forty I dollars to the home manufacturer; ami n no i? lived so far from the manufacturer that he j < could not pnv hint in produce: it would fol- ] low that, in fact while lie paid the Govern, j i men! but I we'iy dollars he would loose six 11 tv himself on account of the duty. V/lien, therefore, the Government gets, as it is do- j1 iiti, tiiirly millions of doliars revenue, tiie 11 whole bunion of the consumers of this coun- i try, would be on Itundrcd million of dollars; i ol this amount the South pays, according to i its population and consumption, forty mil- < lions of dollars. The sum I think loo low in fact, in the Patent Otlicc report, made to ! I the li>l so:*.-.on of Congress, (the last one j published.) it Wiis slated hv the Commission- I or, I\!r.

Our imports lor thai year was unusually lame on account of the famine abroad. Nevertheless, all the ; rliclos iin ported, on which a duly is collected, including tlie above omitted in the statement of manufactures, are in value only one hundred and eleven millions on^ hundred and ftl'tvfotir thousand three hundred and fifteen dollars, Jl thus appears that the amount man. ufactu-od in t:.o country is more than six times that imported. It is not pretended Ili)\\ever, llim lllis (;wiii|jui ia?ju uuuiua u pi?F. per measure of the amount of the burden which the country may sustain, and that, while it pays to the government thirty-three millions, it pays two hundred to the manqfactuirrs indirectly, thereby making the whole loss to consumers, in the first instance two hundred and thiity-threo millions.? Some lew articles arc manufactured here as cheaply as thev can be elsewhere; and a very large number, at the place where they are made, are cheaper to the consumer that}, would be the foreign article when transport-. i:d there. It is also Iruc however, that in a great mnnv cases the consumer looses even 3 i rnorc infill nit; wuufuuiv, in;r.?u^ iiu is nut r?n!\ obliged to pay it to the manufacturer, nr refund it to the importer, but also a pro. fit or per rarity on this duty to each trader, through whoso hands the article passes fftforo it rrachcs him. In other instances, the price is intermediate between what it would be without any duty and that which it would imount to bv the addition of the duly.? Want of accurate knowledge of all the facts renders it impossible to determine precisey the effect which our revenue system proluces; but that it is most powerful and conruling cannot be denied. The Government ldually raises more than thirty millions per icar by ilicse duties. 'J'he Manufacturers, ivlio certainly arc interested in selling their i reductions at a high rather than a low rate, Kid who understand their true interests, atach the g'ratcst importance to the tariff svscm, and attribute to its operation effects Men greater than I have staled them to be. These has been less complaint among tonsnmcrs, bemuse the cost of most manuiiclurcd articles has been diminishing Irom imc J;> lime. This fall of prices, however, s partly aitributablc to the great discoveries, nade during our day in chemistry, mechansni and the arts generally, by which these iriiclcs are produced with much more {&-. :iiily. It is also attributable to the comparttive repose of the world, which has dirccud capital and labor, formerly consumed u wars, to indus'rial pursuits. Hence, though here is a gradual reduction of prices in tiie United Stales, yet it is still more striking on he other side of the Atlantic. In Great n... i o i rtnrtifnlnrk- wo 11 as in certain nor ions of I tie continent, such is the accumuaiion of capital, and so great the number of aborcrs who arc obliged to work for a mere mbsistcnro, that prices arc at the lowest possible rate. We have a right to take advantage of this state ol things, just as the Europeans do of our cheap production of cotton. Instead of giving us half a dollar i pound, as they used to do, they, as well [is the people of the Northern States, seem glad to got it for five cents per pound, in c mscrpjonce of our overproduction of the article. We have therefore a personal right lo purchase their productions at the lowest iate n! which we can obtain them, to counter-balance the disadvantage we suffer from !lie accumulation of a different kind of capita! and labor. To alleviate tiiis burden, we of the South pet back very little in the lorm of protection. Why, then have Southern m?*n been willing to submit to a system so unequal in its operation? Be* cause, as I formerly had occasion to state, , in the Convention which made the Federal Constitution there was a bargain made between the North and the South, that, pro t ided they would allow our slaves to be rep. haunted, to permit importation for a time, 11 ..,,..,1,1 Hill li> (leli VCT Up Itlgil l* i:."!, mi; tj'iuiii tiwinu, ^n its part, agree that a majority of Congress might have power to pass navigation >r tarifl'laws. As the gift of the power un-' ;ier the circumstances necessarily implied, that ii was to he exercised, we felt bound in^> lionoi'ln acquiesce in the action of the majority. Because, in the second place, prolection to such extent as might give our infant ninnofaetnres a fair start, was ca.'culaled to advance the interest of the nation as i whole, though for the time il miyjit bear lianilv on us. Ami because, thirdly, we tinned that liie Southern Slates would after \ time yettn manu'nrlming themselves, as their interest required them to do, and thus ?sr:apc the burden. It was thus that Southern youth men, ever, after the North had [ nitially failed to pay its share of the consideration, with great magnanimity, contin ucd to sustain 1 he system. The manner of disbursement is also adverse Id our interests. Of the forty odd millions which the Government purposes to ilishurso this year. !do not be I eve that five millions will in anv way ho expended in ail slave.!in!din<j Stales. North Carolina, for example, is burdened to the extent of not less tin) ; throe millions, and yet does not oct hack one hundred thousand, dollars in any vvnv from the Government.
