PENFIELD, GRaEN Co., GA., July 8, 1844. To the Hon. G. M. Taour: Dear Sir-As State Rights men who have ever looked up to you as a politician of stern integrity not to the glory of Casar, but the wt elfare of Rome, and who ever regarded 'you as the fair exponent of our creed-now that new issues are being made-now when the Northern Whigs are congratulating the South for having "ac knoteledged and agreed to thie great doc., trine ofprotection to the labor of the country is a political axiom cf the highest impor tance"-now that Congressmen from the South have for the first time openly ad vocated and supported the protective poli cy, and now hope that the people will sustain them in this momentous change. Believing that you never swerved to the right or left of sound Republican principles -that after having stood at the helm of State at a time that tried man's souls; warding off with the sovereign arm of Georgia the combined shafts of federalism that were aiming to crush the liberties of the country by destroying State distic ions and consolidating all power in the G3eneral Government-that now in yodr retirement nothing could induce you to ralter or recede from your long cherished opinions, we call upon you who yet regard ibe doctrines of our party in '33, which were practically enforced by yourselfin '25, a the only guarantees to constitutional liberty, and respectfully ask your views apon the following questions. 1st. Is not the tariff of '42 a faithless violation of the compromise act of'33, un constitutional, unequal in its operations in taxing the many for the benefit of the few and prejudicial to Southern rights and Southern interests. 2d. Are those Representatives of Geor gia who have advocated and voted for the continuation of the tariff of 1W2, worthy of the support of Republican State Rights men ? 3d.What policy should State Rights men of the South putsue in our present difficult :ircumstances. Respectfully, your obedient servants, A. JANES. . ki..PORTEA. 1. N6oTHEN. B. E. SIENCER.. E. C. LAWR ENCE. VALDOSTA, ILAUIENS COUNTY, Sept. 6, 1844. Gentlemen-Nothing has postponed an answer to your late letter but the belief of the w6rthiessness of my opinions, of whith you ask my expression-I give them 6 you now, because I have, though very re luctantly, giveo them to others. My own judgment has brought mejo the conclusion, not to be easily shakten that if my opinions had been of any, the east value, the people of Georgia would never have exchanged their Republican principles tor the Old Essex-Junto Feder slism !as inconsistent with those principles as with their rights, fiberties, and interests of every kind. 1st. On the subject of matinufactures, my reading of the Constitution fron its con text. has been this:-Congress shAll have power to regulate commerce, but Congress shall have no power to interferein any msnnet *hatsoever, with any other in lusify. either agrlcttlittal de tiarftvtii ing, exceptitdg in . gfadtidg di limited imes to authors and inventors the exclu iive right to their respective writings and :iscoveries. The power to regulate. com iterce is not an absolute power-it is lin Ited t- the comuerce with foreiga natious Get w~ef the Etates, adid *iil the indian tribes-a power over the commterce be tween individuals is not given, ad is, of course, prohibited. The power to en : :ourage them in any manner it pleases, but is limnited in the, particulars of mode and time, " by securing for .limited times to authors and inventoris the exclusive right to their tespectie ejriings and djef cries." liaving thus carefully prescribed limhastions' to limnited powers over indus try, 'how it' is. conceivable that the Con vention intended to give absolutie and un limited power over all industry, or that if it intended to give absolute power over man tifacturing industry, or that it intended that such powrers, being merely incidectal to tome other powers, would be fairly dedu ible by construction or impliestion'1t SNow, .gentlemen, I contend .for this reading of the Constitution, becauseITitn slst that no covnto ever held, or widen ever can be hotden. would giveio' liit ed government ant absolute power over the industry of the country-. poer tre or largest of any tbet can be graniid.Catjid which, on that accoutrt, would bliea aided with the greatektTjelodisv, -andi rsiif.

Both A and H will say this is folishness,-bet ter let us keep our money to encourage each his own industry, because, Isi, you give us the trouble of putting our hands in our pockets so oflen for nothing, and, sec ondly, because we have to pay the tax collector, who has nd industry of his own for receiving money from one and paying it over to the other. Do you believe it possible, I mean, for any convention to grant a power to Congress to tax the whole country at pleasure for the support of New England manufacturers 1 You know this would be done, and yet you know tnis is the very thing that is done. A State has the power to lay taxes to encourage indus try--why? because a State has all power nor probibited. But what State has exer cised the po*erof levying taxes ta:e courage niaufactures? States haveigran ed charters incorporation fur this purpose, but have in a spirit tfjustice, granted them equally to all who, under like circum stances, applied fot them. The parlia ment of England possesses the unlimited power to encourage industry, hedause it prssesses all power without limitation; and how has it exercised this power? By taxing all industry for the support. of each -each for the support of all? Englatid like the States, acts in a spirit of impartial justice. If she taxes A for the honefit of B, she equally taxes B for the support of A. So that there every body is taxed-it is not for manufactured only, but for every kind of industry; for you know she has her corn laws but in all this, England, although she he unwise, is impartial, just,, and equitable. She never refuses to B the measure conceded to A. But would you take England for a model, and give to Congress the unlimited power over human industry whic belongs to the British Par. fiament? I see nothing to be gained by following this example. I think I see a great deal to be saved by avoiding it. The taxation' of every thing, under this system, in England, which their statesmen would lie glad to get rid of, is so great, that the prices of :hings that make up the neces saries, and comforts, and luxuries of life, rise in proportion and make her the dutr est, when otherwise she would have been the cheapest country in Europe. Th consequeneekis, that when a rich man there happens to fill into poverty he Oeci to the continent, where the taxes being lower, he lives cheaper, and hascomparative com fort and enjoyment. I make these statements, gentlemen, to show what your own Congress is doing under a limited constitution, having but a very partial and limited power over hu .man industry, and what England is Jroing with an absolute and unlimited power over the same object. The one is unjustly and oppressively taxing one portion of the country for the benefit of another, the other is taxing, however foolishly, yet cer inly more fairly, all for the benefit of all. If Congress has pb*er over manufac turing, it has equal power over commer cial and agricultural industry, and if it has a power over taxa)ion to support and cher ish the one, it has an equal power of taxa tion is not confimed to duties on hnported goods. It must comprehend every des cription of taxa-ion direct and indirect. Surely it will not be said that Congress has an especial power to encourage man ufacturing industry, Itirt of encouraging it by indirctt tates atone. The genius of lrotedtion has not adventured to much. Now let us see, gentlemen, wvhat would lie thre reguftof a direct system of taxation. We have a poor farmer, who, with cotton at 6 cents, is scarcely able to buy a second shirt to his back. The tax collector comes and asks a return upon oath of all the tax a'ble article lhe has consumed, cot too bag ging, salt, sugar, iron, molasses, &e. The farmer says he has never yet paid for the encouragement of the industryof the man ufacturer in making them, and for this lie. must pay according to law, if it cost him the bed of his wife and children. But have yen brought nothingin return, re joins the farmer, for the encouragement of *my industry ? My'industry is as 'vatua -ble as their's. If thre tat man says tio, tile famrseyes are at once opdned- to: the bejpties of the American system. -The illusions of party are dispelled.. He sees for the first tine clearly that he'is payimrs try the sweat of his ifrote to stupport people tNMassachusetts and -Ohioa lthott get ting anything .in retuftugand that if he does getrany thing in retUrn, 'it is the merest foolisbem-he is pirging sti much to -en courage the labor ofr B-and AB-is paying. just as much to encoturage- his-labor, aid that both of those have to paf the tax deallectore w bo does :otiui4 itt collect from A andF *, to pay ;over to C-and I), and from C and:D,' to pity oer to 'A and B. But:if the tax man sayshehas brought nothitig this is the lawdrtbeIfrmer sees for' the-first timO that .st*:hainjustfee anti oppression are insupportabl-4hat it is as much as-he-can support-. his town famnilyl anid thatIhe must.. be broketlidown 'if he isob~ged lid contribute tbo atre sufpport of families in Massacbusets and:hiy, about whom he knows or cares adoshing.: It wilt he wakt. for the sprotectionistadutitell him thea commoditiev are cheapened - by the aee be tiRl see aid feel *hatathe tariff tax or duty, wbothef it he amiuector indi tees tax,:is a grievisnce, agr'eat grievancre, adthatt anyrita~ fine heieid for' thsihet cessaryapUrpotEs di ouverUmeii,f, nf be uconstitutional in te degree that it Is un jt5t and oppressive. So long as this poor man is connected with party, and the tax is indirect, lie can be made. to believe, either that nobody pays it, :or that it falls. on the shoulders of the importer. A like. kind of dialogue happens, gentlemen. whenever a tariffsystem is to be patc6bd up in Congress, the process is called "L4g Rolling," if you help me,.1 %ill h yl~jou. The man of Boston, says to themnnao of Lousisfana, if you vote fihty pe ent for iny cotton cloth, I winvote fity.per cent for your sugar-ygeedsays the other; but the cotton 'fantbt must bae a word. What wiiie give me f'oi my industry? Whj will give you flifty per cent -likeis'e. If the cotton planter is ninny!d' says agreed, and gives his vote ztdanioIgly fI he~ hap. pens to be as cuilnigias the dther. he says no gentlemen, unless you cati pay me. t some other waye ivote against you. -You will certainlyi gt~ yoni 50 percent, in gbod -sterling moneybecause a rreat. deal of -otton dloth, and a great deal of sugar ill be imported aed' of coutse a great deal of duty paid; I will get niothinig but paper and moonshi., because ther will be no cotton imported, and of coutse-no duty paid.. This isprecisely the relation in which practically these parties stand. to each other- now. If the governrent iutend the Bostn tfiantifactuter,' and the Louisiana sugar planiir to have in good faith the full benefit of the 50 per cent, duty, it must take care if they do not get it one way they shall get another-in the ordinary course of things-they can only get it by enhitanced'price of cotton cloth, and sugar. the consequence of the duty if as the protectionists contend there is no enhancement of price; then the cloth-mau and the sugar-man receive no benefit. If as they further contend that so; from enhacement their is reduc'ioi o price, then the manufacturer and rroducer a tain loss instead of hecefit, and lose in pro portion to the redaction of price. What is then the ob'vious duty add indispensible obligation of govetniddnt 1 Certainly to siake good the benefit of the 50 per cent, i d some other way-the only other way ldft IN to ptovide that from the duties on .sugar and cotton cloth there shall first be paid id the Massachtisetts and Louisiada rmen, the full amount of 50 per cent on the value of the yard of cloth4 and a pound of sugar produced by them-but if the duties aforesaid should prove insufficient for this purpose then the deficiency to he made good frorn any other monies in the Trea sury not otherwise appropriated. Now here would be a blow up. Here for the first time the cotton planter would come in for his 50.pef ceni,, dud here, for the first time in the practical operation of the sys tem, would there be the slightest mani festation of equality or justice. But at the very moment ef this m:tnifestation the manufacturer seeing that he must contri bute to the treasury to enable the govern mefitJ8 pay the cotton planter 5U per cent, on the value of every pound of cotton he makes, he is the first zo withdraw from the American system. Thus it is, gentlemen. that this protee tive policy is such a mniserable and wretch ed business; that whatever mode you re sort to carry it into emIect with any seeming regard to equality, is so fraught with in justiceoadd frequently with f(lly and ab srdity that it requires the passiveness of a Russian slave to hear with it. Different from this is a tariff of low duties for reve nue only. Whatever may be the degree of inOqulity and injustice inseparable fronr it. is exempt frorff that severity of oppression which is sure to be followed by compliant and discontent. It creates competition without giving uionopoly-itr festrains importation to the extent of ailbr ding ntode'rame profits, and sufficeiently re wards industry without building up large factories. In One, as its hardships are not worth complaining about, there is no conm plaint. In some itnstances, the State have had recourse to premi'ums and bouIIfies to encourage particular manufactures in their' incipient stages. Whenever any of them shall adopt the system on a large scale; whether they do it wisely or unwisely, the people seeing and kowing exactly what they pay, and having taxed themselves with their eyes open, and will have no right to complain. Whren tihe decnstitutiou granted the pow to ray duties it was not for protection of atnufactures, or it would have :said so 'but "topay the debts and provide for the' common defence. and general welfare."' If the powver to protect manufactures is is derivable from the general welfare, sois. any other conceivable power. not express tif prohibited.
