Mr. SMITH, of South Carolina, present* ed the following Protest ot the Bute of South CaroUne, agalm the ijntcm of duties lately established by the Government of the Unit ed StuU-?: ?7*e I'rotett?which hat been ftrtvfotuh/ flub tithed in our /la/tar?it omitted.] Mr. SMITH Mid, the legislature of the State of South Carolina, .one of the primi tive States of this Union, had imposed upon hit colleague and himielf, whose immediate lepresentatives they were, the duty of pre* senting to the Senate of the United States, in the name, and on behalf of the good peo ple of that Commonwealth, their solemn protest against the system ok protecting du ties lately established by the Federal Gov ernment in favour of domestic manufactures. In discharging this high and. responsible trust, it was not his purpose, (said Mr. S.) to enter into a full and minute investigation of all the grounds of objection that so justly spd so plainly existed against that protect ing system^ hut it was Ills wish to offer u few prefatory remarks on a subject thut so deeply interested the people of his State. 'I be people of South Carolina believed, that when the States surrendered into the hands of the general government, a portion ?f their sovereignty, it was in trust for the nccomplishmcnt of certain specific objects, und every exercise of power beyond the at tainmc nt of those specified objects, is a viola tion of the compact bet ween the several States nnd the United States, and when, ever thut compact is infracted :>y the government of the United States, it belongs to the svvernl States to cxcrcise their reserved sovereignty, to re iluccthe General Government tothcexervise of powers within its legitimate, constitutional limits and restore the compact to its origin id purity. The State of Sooth Carolina floes not assent to the postulate, that the General Government ever had, or ought to have the power to exercise an uncontrolled, and unlimited authority over the whole capi tal and labour of 12000000 of people; nor is it twssible to imagine why such a power should nave been concedcd. Ii was totally unne cessary as icgarded the public interest* and was moreover, if an) conmnil was necessa ry, within the controul of the States them selves. South Carolina had a deep interest in this government. That interest was founded on claims of no ordinary charactcr. In tho be* ginning of the Revolutionary contest, a con test that gav,e this government its freedom and independence, she disuluyed as ardent devotion as any of her sister States, and brought to that contest as much patriotism, at much treasure for its support, ami spilt .is much blood as any other State in the Union. In her deep privations, and destruction of private property of her citizens, there was no parallel. And in the hour of her tri umph, and returning peace, the face of the country was little else than a dreary waste; but she had her independence and an uticon* trolled sovereignty. She had from the com mencement of the confederation, obeyed all the requisitions of the general government. And was bound to pay it no tribute, except her proporthm of the foreign and domestic debts; which she had alwcys done in good faith She hud all the rights of sovereignty that belonged to any other nation or people. When it was proposed to form the present government, she nad no inducement to be come a party thereto, but to secure the pro tection of the Union. She had nothing else to gain by It. She surrendered a port that was second to but one hi the Union, ami un der existing circumstances, had she retained her sovereignty and separate independence, so far as wealth and pecuniary means could contribute, she would huve been amongst the most powerful States of America. All this she was willing to yield, ami had yield ed, without any |Htssible motive than that of securing the protection of the Union, and perfect security to all hor private rights. She had no l>oon to risk. This government had none to give her. But instead of that protection, which alone She sought, she had nothing left but the mere honor of being a member of the Union, if that can bu called an honor, to pay a heavy tribute from the proceeds of her labors to augment the wealth of a few northern and western capitalists, We arc often told (said Mr. S.) that the Constitution was founded on a compromise. South Carolina, in this compromise, had compromised away her beat and dearest fights, and made concessions to enrich othei portions of the Union, to nay the public debts, and improve other States, and had given a pretext to a majority to live upon ncr labor, hut there was no compromise foi her emolument. Kouth Carolina never refuted to contrib ute tier full proportion of the bunlcmi Im posed by the general K"vernmcnt for the public service. During the late war there was no contribution that ahedkl not cheerful ly and promptly render, that was necessary (or the safety and defence of the country. Me Mid, he would Challenge the annate of tlda government to she* a state that had been more patriotic during the late war. Her ehixens were devoted to their common country-~thcy not onty rigidly regarded the public law* theinftcKea, tat used unusual vi gilant e to prtftect the laws against the In fractions of other* They scrupulously re* <*rded the embargo law*, and the non-Wi MrcnurM law*. lWit.g the whole of that lieriod the produce ot their toil wa* locked up, whilst in enme other States theft- citi sent were making large profits upon tt?. ??roduct* of their talxmr. The magnanimity <4 Sooth Carolinian* during that period, he wm proud to say, did thorn honor. Upon the return of this second pence. In 1S15, at the very moment it wm Announced, the ma nufacturer* claimed protection. And claim ed it ns a mutter of right, because Ccmgreas had hid a high duty on good*, what few came in during the war, the manufacturer* claimed a* a tacit agreement to continue that duty for their exclusive emolument. And it was Insisted upon, that Congress should lay an extraordinary duty on Import* for the purpose, as they alleged, of indemni fying, by prohibiting foreign manufactures, the only claaaot citizens who had, whilst the war raged, carried on an immensely profitable buslucss. And this gave the first Impulse to the system. The next session, in 1B16, they had collected strength, and their demsnds were yielded tot And here the system commenced. A system of pro tection to one portion of the States, and a svstem of oppression to the plantation States. I'heir demands of protection have been in creasing ever since. Appeals were made first from the manufacture of one article, then from another, until the majority of Congress became determined to extend the ay stem and fasten it on the agricultural States for ever. All opposition had been unavailing. Urge that it is in opposition to the principles of the constitution, no gentle man chooses to answer it; they feel too sc curc in a majority to notice a constitutional objection. Offer a remonstrance, it is only ffead and thrown aside. There hud not been an attempt since the act of protecting duties of 1810, to increase the duties on im portations, that had not been met by numer ous remonstrances, and memorials from the people of South Carolina, in their primary assemblies, from associations of her mer chants, and some trom her legislature, set ting forth their violated rights, and seeking | relTcl? Ami whnt had been the result *, Wny, (said Mr. S.)*we had never seen or heard of even u succiut report, when it was the duty of the Committee on Manufacture* to which they were uniform ly referred, to have given a detailed report, and to have shewn in that report the princi ples upou which this protecting system wa* founded?if founded upon constitutional principles, to have given the arguments in such toraa a* they could have been met. In stead of pursuing this usual course, as in all other cases, the committee had always marched directly op to their object, disre garding the claims of the people of South Carolina, set forth in their memorial* and remonstrances, and tfven you no report but lona teeming with more and higher duties, amounting to a prohibiting system. Dutie*, | more duties, was all their care whilst our | memorials and remonstrances were quietly laid to sleep in the archives of the Senate, (?f,*hcvwhad ever bceu permitted a plauc there,) never to be seen or heard of again. In all other questions before Congress, both sides an heard through the reports of your committees. A claimant of a quarter sec tion of land, or a petitioner to be paid for a dead horte, can alwuys have their claims to justice set out at full length in the reports of oxuraittees. Instances of individual claim ants have given you reports, printed reports, of fifty or an hundred page*, showing both sides, and shewhig you thu reasons upon which the report wu* made. But in ques tions of protecting duties, It has been thought suflRciert tor manufacturing gentlemen to in trench themselves behind a strong majority, Ki up from the various Interests of all who ve put suit* to protect, and lay your re mouktranccs at rest. Mr, Pbksidknt, Mia Mr. 8. South Caro lina, although her ehiicni hod at no period of her history, been more borne down by op pression in tneir pecuniary affairs, attribu table to your tariffs of protecting duties, her interests were not limited to the calcula tions of dollars and cents only. She has a common interest in the properlty of this Re public; in its protection; in its splendour; in all its high relations with other nations. Look at your great snd important naviga ting interest, once to extensive and so dis tinguished, now nothing but a remnant, and that if report spake the truth, was fast crumbling away; broken down and oppress ed to afford a system ot protecting duties to the growers uf hemp, to iron masters, and to every manufacturer who asked for it. Look at the Navy of the United States, so lately the pride and boast of this country* dwindling away under this common ?courge, scarcely able to enlist * crew, your seamen driven to other pursuits or into some other service. The reports from the Navy De partment bear testimony to these facts. Where, ami how, was this bulwark oi your national safety employed? Not m convoy ing the abundant products of your soil to other nations, there to be exchanged for their fabrkm return. That cannot be per mitted; it would reduce the per centage of your manufacturers. It Is only employed in convoying that fragment of your commerce, consisting principally of those wry manu factures that you are protecting by Tariff taws at home, at the sacrifice of every other interest ami every other emnloyment, In search of foreign markets. A few sloops are employed in the west India seas, to sop press the the pirate; but vour Southern planters, whose labour contributes so targe* Iv to its support, derive no other Interest from it. S. Carolina wis willing to enlarge that Navy, but wanted some share In in Cection. When southern planters could j?en to And a foreifaship to carry tlkeit cotton, tobacco or rke, they were obliged to employ It without the benefit el ? Oetnroy from the navy. When Sowth Carotin* entered into this rnfn|>?ct, and surrendered a portion of her power*, It *u th*t the might secure equ?*1 protection to the retktae. In thk ?he hat [ween mistaken. There ?u no de?pntk government In ehtHtnwlom bat what paid some respect t?? it# own fanrismental prin ciples. It teemed reserved for the govero merit of the United State*, the only Republi can government existing, to prostrate and trample upon those sacred priutiplrs.?The reserved rights of the States are f? r jot ten, and the right* of certain cLsses only respect ed. To protect tn? rights of ten miliums of citizen* is hv n<< means an object of this gov ernment: whilst, to protcrt a jobber* ? a bungler in the mechanic arts, is a matter oi national Importance. The ayptem has grown up from a very small, Winning In the fine instance, and every protecting law ha* in creased the number, and with it, the appli cations for more protection. One beget* the other, and thu* they magnify. And every man who becomes a manufacturer, or Interested in a manufacturing establishment immediately becomes an advocate of the l^ntecting system. Members of Congress that are manufacturers, or interested iit manufacturing establishments, have voted for the Tantr lav/*, to *dvsnce their own immediate pecuniary profits; which were to be drawn from the labour of the agricultu rist. ?n?t that in no sparing drgiee. Mr. & said, should he be called upon to do *0, ho could name the member* This la legist* ting with the Southern State* under mat disadvantage*. Agents had been sant hero by manufacturer*, upon pay, to lay their pamphlet* upon the table*of the member*, and littng about Congress, and trumnet their cause, and to give Information ot favorable momenta for action. Some of whom hud been rewarded with seats In Congress, for their faithful services. He hud Haiti, then was no despotic govern ment that did not pay some regara to the fundament*' principles of their own govern ments. It might justly be laid there wa* no despotic government, in the clvlliaed world* where such tnuroachmruts had been mwdc, in so -hm-t a time, upon the rights and liber ties of its people, as have been made upon the rights and liberties of the people of tho southern state*, within the last twelve yearn It ia utterly Impossible to imagine, that such a state of thing* could have been conttmpla tci' at the formation of the constitution, un less the English language can be distorted to mean any thing we are determined it shall mean, as some late expositor* hnd endeavor ed to make it. One distinguished Wr'ter iu the newspaper* had, to rearh his imrpose, given the word " commerce" a new version. He had first changed the word " commerce'* as it was expressed In the constitution, into the word44 trade then it heenme necessary to transmute the word "trade" Into the word "manufactures." And therefore, If commerce could be made to signify "trade," anil " trade" to signify " manufactures," the constitution had vested in congress the pow er to impose dutie* upon foreign manufac tures, to their total exclusion; because it had given M the power to rrgnlate commerce with foreign nation*." And by thin far fetched exposition, the constitute??the first written constitution the world had ever seen, instead of defining uttd limiting it* power** gave the majority In congftas unlimited con trol over the minority. For what pur|>ose was the constitution adopted f Surely not for the protection of the majority, because majorites want no rich aid ; but to protect, minorities, which are always under tne per fect control of majorities, unless there be ? marked limit beyond which they *h*ll not go. If the constitution does not afford this limit, it affords nothing but an instrument of oppression that la worse than tyranny.
