VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
lioute of I telega let, Saturday, Feb 31?
Mr, Dodnrklge called up thv Ami-Tariff
'Resolutions.
The questions were the* taken separately
on each Resolution. The first Revolution
VfaS HI fbllowsl
M Rctotved, As the opinion of t!?i* com
mate*', that the Constitution of the U. State*
being .1 federative compact between sover
eign states, ill construing which no common
arbiter it known, each state has the right to
construe the compact for itself."
Mr lJodbridgc called for tlie uves and
noes, iiikI tltc resolution wan carried by (he
following vote?ayes 134, noes C >.
The second resolution wan as follows:
" Rctolved, That in giving sueIt Constuc
tion, in the opinion otihis com mil tee, each
State should be guided, an V-rgiuia has ever
been, by a sense of forbearance and hrspett
for the opinion of the ot ler States, and by
community of attachment to the Union, so
far as the same may be consistent with self
preservation, and a determined purpose, to
preserve the purity of our republican insti
tutions."*'
It was also agreed to by the House?nycs
106, noes 36,
The third resolution was as follows:?
" Rnotvcd, I'nat litis general assembly,
actuated l?y the desire of guarding the Cou
stitutioii from all violation, anxious to pre
serve and porpetuate the Union, and to ex
ccutc with fidelity the iru*t reposed in it by
the people, as one of the high contracting
Earties, feels itself bound to declare, and it
ereby mn?t solemnly dedai es it* deliberate
Conviction, that the acts of Congress, usual
ly dentin mated the i'ariff Laws, passed
uvowedly for the protection of domestic
manufactures, are not authorised by the
plain construction, true intent, and meaning
of the Constitution; that they are impolitic
and oppressive to a large portion of the peo
ple; and <>ught to be repealed."
Mr, tinodc moved to amend it by substitu
ting the following:
" Nrto/vrd, TUat this General Assembly
of Va. actu ited by tlie desire of guarding the
Constitution from all violation, anxious to
preserve 4iid perpetuate the Union, and to
execute with fidelity the.trust reposed in it
by the people, as one of the high contracting
parties,feels itself bound to declare, and it
hereby most solemnly declares Its delibcrate
co ivntHKi, that the aets of Congress usually
denominated the tarifflaws, passed avowed,
ly for the protection 'if domestic manufac
tures, are nnt authorised by the plain eon
ntructi-ai, true Intent and meaning of the
Constitution,
*' Resolved, alto. That the said Acts are
partial in tht ir operation, impolitic and op
.prcssivr to a large portion of the people ot
the Union* and ought to he repealed."
Mr. Graxle remarked that he submitted
the Resolutions in thisforai, to give gentle
men an opportunity of separately express
ing their opinion upon the eontlitutlo-ality
and the ex/tedteney of the Tariff Acts.
Mr. Rives of C. remarked, that he was
pleased with having the Quest ion thus divi
ded?that some gentlemen who had not
he ud him the day before or only seen a
sketch of his remarks in the newspapers,
seemed suprised at his having voted for the
lsi ind 3d Resolutions of the Report?that
lie had not t'lid he should vote against the
1st and 3d Resolutions; but that while he
opposed them he could not think of voting
that the fai iff acts were unconstitutional.
The H'aise accepted the Substitute; and
Mi'. Gordon called for the ayes and noes on
the lit Resolution.
Mr. Anderson of of Botetourt wished to
amend ihe 3d Resolution, by changing the
"repealed" into "modified "?While he
wlshedthe present tariff to be modified, he
could not vote in favor of repealing all the
Tariff acts.
Mr. Mav rose to a point of order. He as
ked, whetner as the House had adopted the
Substitute by way ?f amendment, that:
amendment could now be amended?
The Chair expressed the opinion that it
could not. . ' I

Kx tract of a letter to the Editor* of the Mil
Ict/grvU/e ( (Seo.J Journal, a a ted
Washington, 3d Pki. 1\29.
Sirs?The tubular stutinticul views, of
Watterson aotl Vmii Z.utt, recently publish
id, afford* much useful information. In
endeavouring to nvail myself of the Aids
which tliiH publication affords to the states
m-tii, 1 discover many facts which they
have collected (mm documentary evidence,
which would excite the surprise of any in*
dividual, who had not turned his nttcntion,
to the most carcful manner, to such subjects.
From this work it appear*, that the whole
estimated value of the exports of th" United
State*, taken from .he from the forest,
from manufactures, und from agriculture, of
ever*- description, from the end of the year
1817 to thecV'se of the year 1827, including
u period' I'ten years, amiamted to the sum
of .<141,*10,945. Of this num. the article of
cotton al-ne, imouots to ?752,511,871.?
I he-efore nearly one h:df of the wh<4t value
of our domestic exports for the last ten
years have been derived from the article*of
cotton alowe.
However, it may b>j proper to remnrk,
thnt the whole value of the export of the
United State*, for the tco ye.irs named, In
cluding, with <Hir domestic productions the
the articles of foreign countries, which are
brought into our country from abroad, and
then re-exported, (a part ot which are enti
tled to drawback) amounts to the suin of
?770,391,210.
The whole population of (he United St.uc*
ii rMlmtied .?t thU lime, at nearly 12 mil
limit. And it l* evident, that the whole
population, in- hiding every description of
pel-sons who reside in thut section whit h
grown the article of cotton lor market, will
not am-aiut to three-millions. Therefore it
is demonstrated, that three million* of impu
tation, in the cotton crowing section ot the
United States, contribute more to the ex
ports of the country, than the other nine
millions do, who are engaged in all the other
variegated pursuits of the country.
My position Is fully sustained by farts
which cannot be controverted; but as my
object i? to communicate to other*, I will
corroborate my statement by remarking,
that the aggregate imputation of the states
of Virginia, N ?rth Carolina, South Carolina,,
(ieorgij, Alabama, Mississippi and Lou-!
isttna, is esti-oHted at 3.3.16,391. I admit,
that considerable cotton is cultivated for ex
portation, in Tennessee, Florida and Arkan
sas, Hut then let it be remembered, that in
the northern sections of Virginia, the two
Carolina* iiimI Georgia, cotton in not culti
vated tor exportatkai at mII. ' The tobacco,
rice, whe it, lumbe* and other commodi
ties eX|H>rtcd from the seven southern states
named, verv largely overbalMnce in value,
t?ie uinouut of cotton exportetl fr?>m all other
places, except these states. We know,
that much the largest portion nf the whole
exports of the United States are from the
seven soutlie: n ?tates named and that the
population of these states, does not much
exceed one fourth part of the whole popula
tion of the Uui'<n.
Does not this exhibition of facts, clearly
demountrat<', that the prosperity of the
southern states depends vitillv upon a free
and unrestricted foreign tram? And that
*?? long hs our labor and industry are so e>
clusivcly devoted to raising cotton, and cot
ton alone, and the present miserable Tariff
system is continued, |M>vcrtv and ruin await
us. We make cotton to buy every thing
elite. Is it not common for planters in the
S*>uth to buy?-their meat, bread, clothes,
work beasts, potatoes, ropes, horse collars,
broom* and every thing else? The im
mciiM amount of our exports proves clearly,
that we are not wanting tn industry. More
over it proves, that we are favoured with a
productive soil, and fine climate.
I do not myself believe, t>at any section
of the world afford* a soil and climate more
favourable than the southern state*, to the
bountiful production, (within it* own bor
ders) of every thing which is necessary, not
only to comfortable, but luxurious and boun
tiful lining. Yet we ?o abroad for every
thing. Let i* hencefoith, raise our own
com, wheat, oats, rye, barley, hones, mules,!
cuttle, sheep, gout*, hogs, roots, ft uits, vines,
sugar, rice, cotton, hemp, tax silk?mak<
o?r own ekithea, vehicle*, ploughs, collars,
brooms and mate?end if we most drink
let us make our own brandy, whiskey, win*
Si eider, besides the inno?uer*Me' other arti
cle , which are pmperlv wMMuour capacity.
