The prcdicamcnt in which the IIouso thrust thcmselvcs yesterday.by supporting a proposition as ono cf Mr Clay's but which he had nevcr ullcrcd, or in olher words, a forgery, was the subjcct of ncar y anolhcr day's dcbatc. For scveral hours, nscene of excilement, that thrcat encd at onc timo hard words at Ieast, oc cupied the atlcntion of the Houso. Tho ninht had becn devoted tohunting over all that Mr Clay had said upon thosdbject of tho TarifT, in hopcs that somcilung mignt bc found approximating to the scntiment which had bcen attributed by Mr Clay. All such labor had provcd a failure and uc der such circumstancea, with this subjcct asthounfinishcd business ofthe day, the Wnnsn reassembled this morning tho majority prcparcd to take "Iho back track" in theiraction ngainst Mr Clay, and the minority delcrmined to prcss them to an honcst confession, if possible, ofthe en dorscment by the mr.jotity ofa gros for gery. A half way nonesty only was aS tempted, wiih a promise, howevcr, to bc more hcncst by and byc. Postponmcnt was thc first attcmpt of the morning. but this did not succeed. Reconsidcration followed, first one vole then another, unlil the House returned to tho point of tho or iginof tho difficulty. The Speakcr then dcsired that thc subjcct should go over to tho next rcsolution day, and the mnjority determined that what could ba done should bo dono. Jlr Brown, the author of tho Resolution which amounted to a forgery, rose now tn. NUMBER 50. exleniintion of his conduct. His cxcuse was, that whilc the whiff-j were bringing forward Gencral Jackson's letter to Mr. Colinnn, in behalf of "a judicious Tariff," hc thought he could bring wmu evidencc against the intcgrity of Mr Ciay. Ho had rend in the Ohio Slnteyman remnrks purporling (o coinc from Mr Clay, upon Ihe subicct of Protection, and without pausing for one moment to tsst Iheir ac curacy, or lo inquire whethcr Ihey were truo or not, hc copied the libel acd scpt it lo tho Chair.as an amcndmcnt to the pen ding Rcsolution. T'his was all the dc fence tho nuthor of tliis proceedmg in the Hoiisc had to maXe, cxcept that ho had not bsen able to find any place whure nn y such rcmatks had bcen mode. lle, howevcr, belicved that JT. Clay had made the rcmarks allcgfd ngninst him, nnd he had written to the cditor of thc Ohio Stntcsman to pnint tham out.and give thn nuthnrity. Iflhis could not be done, he would at some future dny make n more frank confession ! I his was but the a pology for the outrnge cf ycstcrdny. and bcing so lame. Mr White, ofKy. who hnd last evcning pledged his honor as to thc forgery, now usked lcave to rcfer to Mr. Clay's opinions in bohalf of Protcction and upon the Comproroise Act, with a viow of showing the cxtent of the misrep rcsenlatiou. A first thcte was great op pnsition to lhi, and all alon thero was opposition, and with so many intcrnip tions thatMr White, could only spcak on lcave, and was liable to be callcd lo order for cvcry aentcnce he uttcred. Enouch was said. howevcr, to show the cntire lal 8i ly of thc accusations from first to lat. nnd thus for the day Ihe suhject endcd, not, howevcr, without having its moral effect here, as it inusl cvcry whcrc abroad You scc in the procccding what hm bocn dono. and what will hc donc, to fjlsify rcputation as well as principlp.

Mr. Prcsident I will now proceed to notice some oflhe o'.ijcctiont to thU policy. The first in orJer and in iinportance is that it destroys coinmerce. A greater fallacy than this cannotbe conceivrd.Genllcmcnask with great ciuhi-;?, "Will you destroy coin merce 2 No Sir, We design no such thing, we anticij'ale no sucli thin?, we ajipre hcnd it not. Our piirposc is so to rcgulate it as to make it suliervient to the gencral proi pcrity rnther than a perpctual drain of your rcsoiirccs; to give it a dilferent rcsult'; to limit our iinjiortation to the amount ofour exportation, and prevcnt the overiinportnlion of foreign fabric3, aud the congequcut burthen offorcign debt. Nor docs thc policy which wc adrocatc tend to such a reiiilt. The cxpetieuce ofthe world shews the contrary. Look at Kngland. Sho to her protective policy. Shc has protcc ted her agricultural induatry at honic. and fos te'rcd her niauufacturiiig iutcrcats for ccntu rics. What is thc rcsult ! She is thc most commercial uatiou upon carth. Her manu facturcshave bcen the baiis of licrcommcrce. Slic has becn tho workshop ofthe world. Her manufactures have found thcir nay inlo evciy civilized and many ofthe uncivihzed natians. ofthe carth. and. in this way, thc rcsourcc3 and the energics of the civilized world havc bcen made tributary to hcr prosperity and her glory. Sir we are foilowiug in hcrsteps. Thc exportation of cotlou fabrics has already com mcnced. We fornicrly sent spccie to China iu cxchangc for her teai. Wc now sei.d cot ton goods Docs any maa imagiiic ihat onr irade with China uill be diminished hy the change I Thc samc fabr.cis scut to S. Amcr ica to the East aud West Indies. The amount of this article exported in tbe ycar 1812, exceeded three milliom of doliars. For this the proiluctions of forcign countrics are reccivcd iu cxchange, or, if not. the very rcp rcstntative of wcallh gold and silvcr is rcmit tcd. Thc ability of cvery uatiou to suslain its productiou at hoine. A pcople who cxport notiiiug can import nothiur. This has becn the expcricuce of thc world aud suchit evcr will bc. If you would purcbase you must secure the mcaus of paymcut. Give to your pcoplc the mean9 of cnjojing the luxuries of forcign importalion, aud you may rest assur ed that the disposilion will not bc wanting. By adding to the quanlity and raricty of jour domestic productiou you add to your capaci ty for cxportafion, aud of course for importa- tion; your importatiou will correspond to your exportation. The great mass of the cfiorts of this nation must aud will be return ed in the nroductions of other countries. "Thus your coinmerce will be increascd in- cvitably increascd auu mai upon tne Dasis, not of your crcdit. but of your domestic pro ductions. This is the basis upon which it should rest. So long as it remains upon this footingit will bc prosperou'J aud profitable. But renew thc system of Freo Trade, and of exccssivc Importalion, and thc result will be as ithas bcen. Your commercc will be un dermincd by the gradual exhaustion of your means your currency will be prostrated as it has bcen your crcdit abroad will be sac rificcd, and what is worscyonr natior.al hon or and characler will be sacriGced with it. Why is it that your foreign commercc has fallen ofT! Is it not that your pcople havc becomc impoverished andunahle to purchao forcign goods. Large importations have been made and thc goods re-sbipped return ed whence they came for this reason. Now if vou will restorc your commcrce and your revcnue, you must restore the ability of your people. Diversifj your labor. add to the va ricty of cxportable production, bring foreign na'iqns in your debt, and you may rcceive what you plcase in payment. Sir, my own observation has satisfied rae on this point. When tho produce of tbe i-nnntv in which I rcside horc a good price. nnd mct with e readvsale, the people of that seetion indulged freely in the consumption of foreign imports. ut no sooner aia inat pro dnppfall.than accneral reductfontook place. The dcalcrs in foreign goods will tell yon. that, after the falhng ott ol tne priees ot aj IIAMDBILLS, Of evcry dcscription will be ncatlv nd fashiouably exccuted, at short notice. riciiltural production, not more than fifty nor cent ofthe amount offorcign goods was con sumed. Sir, if yon wonld foster commerce, yon muit dirersify the pnrsuits of labcr, give it a reward in all its walks, suflicicnt, not mercly for snbsistence, bnt to lcave a sarnhis to bo expendrd upon thc comforts or the Juxnrio of life. This done, yur commerce will pros per and your revcnue will bc abuudant. Your own experience teachcs this. While yonr protective policy was in operation cnmmercc flourished, but w hen you departed from it, commerce was destroyed anil revenue failcd. One of thc rnles ai'onted by fiuanciers iD esiimating the sourres of revemic, is, that tho amount of your exportation detcrmiccs tho amount ol your imports the greater the a mount of your cxports the grealer will bo your importation. This is a correct rulcbe cause in a heahhy state of foreign tradc, it i bnt nn exchaage of commodilies. What wo desire is to bring that trade back to its prop- erioonng io prune its excesscs to bring np your means to your importation, cr what is the same thing, to bring down your impor tation to your mcaii". Do uot ge'ntlenien seo the inevitaUc consequence of the protective systetn? The more yon diversify labor, and the creater varietv vou produce of .trticles dcmandcd ar saleable in a foreign marl et.tho more you iocrease your ability to expcrt and cousequcniiy your ability to" import.

If a forcign debt has becn conlracted which hat p:ostra tcd ihe bauks, destroyed ihe currency, dcpre ciaied prnpcrly, and thrratcns general bauk rujitcy, is it not ihe part of trne ecoticmy to rrtrtncli?

In one cae you tax thc la bor of this country to the amount of forty milliuns to pay for foreign commodilies, in the otlier you not only avoid tbe tax, but yon iocrease ils pruductiim at home to the snino exlcut. 'ihc ditierence is l.ighty niluons.

Sir, if wc wcre a piirelv agricultuial peo ple, Ihe world wonld not furnish a martct h-r our prnductions. We have exceeded the de- mand already; nmlnh.it will he Ihe state of things for thc i'nturr, with an increasing pro duction which no mort:tl ran estimatc,l lcave scnaton to coi.iccture. Mr. PreiJei:t, Itrt n first look at tho rffect of our policy upon lli jreat articles of pro ductiou nnd epcrtatiun. The Senator hom New Haiiipshirc looks lo Ihc agricuhiiral in tcrcst, striclly Kprakiug. tha production of bread stuli" aud olher articles of huninn sus tcnancc and thc Senator from South Caro liua to the plautiug intrrcst, or thc growing of cottim aud tobcco. Thc Senator from New Haiiipohire ;mk, will you excliangethe t.reat foreign mniket for asricultural produco for thc paliry aud iuVi.nificant markct crea ted by a fcar manufacturrrs? No sir, we de sigu no such ihiu;: but we intend to creato an additioHtil iiKirket at home in aid of tho foreign market for Ihe consumption of our agricultural productiou. The nsiumption that ihc creation of ihis domestic market will dcsttoy the foreiitn, t one lif thoe errnneons ansiunptions wh.ch havc ini-tleil thc Senator aud given to hU array of farts a wrong direc liun. As a grnrral rulc, oach nation prodn cc within itsclf enough of agriculturnl pro ductiou for in own ubsitcucc; nio-t na tious have a siirplus, and thosc who liave not all snpply thcnnelves to a vcry great extcnt. Thcdem'aud for foreign comnioditics is cven with thcm confined tu thc deficiency. It is Ii.nitcd lo their nccessitiei. Buyot.d that point they will not go. f.ill hort of it they cannot. 'Thc market then is one which can oot be enlargcd by any addilion of curs, nor can it casily be diminishcd by any economic al rcgul.ition on their part. 'Tho great rrror of tho Senator consist in supposing that tbe foreign markct for bread stulfs depends upi n our importalion of foreign fabrics instead of thc nccessiticsof other uations. Expcricnco lias taugbt us so.nrthing on this head. Du riug thc period nhcn the wholc country was prostrate nndcr the pressure of our immnj debt to England. the produce of the nnrth wcstern farmcrs thc class of mcn to whoro the Senator appeali nnd to whom his argu mcnt was addresscd, wa rolting on their hands unsaleable at any price, becouje it would not bear transportation to market. If thcre wcre evera state of things favorabls to the operation of the Scnator's thcory it was this. Our importatious had been cxten ded cnormously. Wc had incurred a vast debt which wc" could not pay cxcept in our producc, and that they would not take; yet they could gct cothing else. If the importa tion of manufactured articles from England would crcatea corrcsponding markct for our produce, then surcly. the importation in ad vance and upou a crcdit would have that ef fect. Our indebtedness to thcm wonld havo a powerfurteiidcncy to rcdncc to thcm the price of ocr productions, while thc imposi lulity of saiisfying the debt in money would fumuh a strons inducemcnt to rcceive those productions. Yet thcir ncccssitics did not call for it, and thcir policy forbade it. Docs the Senator imagine that if the ex perimcnt were repcated, the rcsult worild he dificreut? Docs he suppose that cven if we imported the vcry hat aud sliocs which wo wcar from England, she woulil take from us an article which shc docs not want,aud which shc will notsuffer to be imported exccpt un dcr the. pressnre of necesslty? Sir, thc thc ory that we can cxtend our exportation :n definitely, by increasing our imports i3nne of the stranest fallacics which evcr foortd Iodgment m the human brain. You can ex. pottwhat isdemanded shroad, what the ne-. cessities of other oations call for, you can go co further. If you have luxuries snper fluities to spare, you can exchange them, I admit,for the Inxuries aud superfluiti's eS ' othernations, and in that way find & rojrket :
