To the Planters and Farmers of Virginia.
Tin* late returns from liu rope bring most gloo
my tidings for the planters anti dealers in Tobacco.
• neat losses have been sustained upon the last
shipments ol this article, and blasted the prospects
of the capitalists who invested their funds in it.—
I his will, of course, give a death-blow to the in
tercstol the cultivator, and it behoves us now to
turn our attention to some other object by which
our firms may bo made to support us, at least, if
we do not advance our condition. By the present
commercial condition of the whole world, and the
policy of our mad statesmen now at the helm of
our all.iirs, the agricultural interest is prostrated,
and unless we change our »*»*>»»<-» >«cm and uuntte
tuent we shall ali become bankrupts, or “ hewers
of wood and drawers of water” for ttic manufac
turing interest in our country. Our State probu
bly alliirds as many natural advantages as almost
any other in our Union. We have as many eligi
ble situations and as much water-power as any o
ther part of our country. Why then cannot we
manufacture for ourselves ? We discover that the
agricultural community flourish around all the ma
uufacttirlng parts of our country : for the plain and
obvious reason, that the manufacturers allbrd them
a good market at their own doors for all their sur
plus productions. By these moans too. they keep
their money circulating in their own neighbour
hood, and keep up a mutual exchange of their sur
plus provisions for their necessary manufactures.
W li.it is to prevent us from doing the same thing ?
I If we are to create whaL is termed a “ Louie mar
ket ’ lor our agricultural productions, let us bring
• one as near home as possible. Why do we stand
■ idle and growl at the prosperity of our Northern
| brethren, who have more enterprize than our
s d vos ? W'e have been complaining too long of the
unjust protection which our government has been
affording to the Northern manufacturers. We have
discovered that it has become now, a fixed policy
of the government to encourage this interest, and
let us place ourselves in a situation to reap the be
nefit of it,or at least, share them with our brethren
of the Nortli arfd West. Virginia has been for the
last twenty years pursuing a ruinous policy. In
stead of improving her soil by a judicious mode of
cultivation, she has been like the man in the fable,
whose goose laid golden eggs, ripping ope.n her
"oo*e to get all the gold at once. Wo have been
killing our soil by cultivating that most destruc
tive weed, (Tobacco) and now that our fields are
made barren and unproductive, wliilst our sister
states have been pursuing a more judicious policy,
we growungiyut tlieir prosperity and tret because
we are not in as good a condition as they are. i
do not approve of the measuse.s pursued by our go
vernment to foster the manufacturing interest to
the extent to which they have carried it, hut ap
prove of a judicious encouragement of particular
manufactures, which would he useful and neces
sary for us, particularly in a time of war : liut
whilst 1 express tliisdisapprobation, I cannot blame
the manufacturers for being willing to take advan
tage of the favourable disposition of the govern
ment towards them, and we give incontestihle
evidence of our folly and want of enterprise, by
not placing ourselves in a situation to enjoy the
benefits of tlr* patronage of the government exten
ded towards this interest. We have every tiling
necessary to place us in this situation but a dispo
sition louse them.
To those wiiodo not feel willing to engage in an
enterprise of this description 1 would say, attend
more to the improvement of your lands, (live tip,
at least for a time, (he cultivation of the Tobacco
crop. Turn your attention to the iinprovemont ol
your lands by clover and plaster. Seed more of
your lands in grass, and whilst the market for your
grain continues so thill and so low, turn your at
tention to raising stock. Ilow many thousand dol
lars »re sen! annually out of our State to purchase
horses, hogs and beef? How much more profita
bly would your farms be, appropriated to raising
stock to meet our demand tor it ? Why not sup
ply our own market with these necessaries ol our
subsistence ■ By these means wo shall keep all
our money within ourovrn state. Whereas now, we
pay it .dl away to our western brethren, and it
never returns to us, because they never take from
us any of our surplus productions in return. Of all
the people of t tie U.States, those of Virginia have
paid the least attention to their own interest and
to the advancement oftheir own condition. They
live high and arc the most open-hearted and hospi
table set of people in the world, without consider
ing the manner in which they are draining their
coiTers and enriching their sister Stales at their
own expense. It is time—high tune—that we
sh uI»I he looking around ns. We are all i i .idly
gliding to ruin and bankruptcy. Let us begin to
change our mode ol liv ing. Let us begin to erect
manufacturing establishments oftmr own. Let us
raise within ourselves all necessaries for living.
Let a spit it of industry and wderpri/o spicad abroad
amongst us, and w e may again raise our heads.
We may again recover our lost standing in tho U
niou. New life and energy will take possession of
us, and the “ Old Houiiriiou” lie again looked up
to as the standard for virtue and intelligence, ami
her weight in the Councils of (he nation e ao’tiin
felt. V.'e have the materials within ourselves to
do all lids now,and why shall vve longer delay"?
I5y indulging in our present state of apathy and
iucrtm ss too long, we may sink too loVf to he re
eovered. As a patriot I mge you to exertion—as a
>i dive of Virginia 1 feel for her fallen condition.—
My pride has been humbled by her great decline,
and l could weep6vcr her fallen greatness. I en
treat \ou, therefore, do all you can to lesion her.
Mace her once more upon that elevated stand
whicji she once occupied, When she was looked up
to as the mother of our Republic—when asked for
her jewels she may point to her sons.

I KLLOW-ClTlZKKs:
1 dedicate to you a transcript of the brief expo

e*l during the discussion of an interesting public
(que stion, li this transcript bo a just exponent of
vos r seutinionts in relation <>> these wrongs, my
otyt ot win nave been attained, as it was no part of
my plan to indulge in an elaborate argument, on
an i ‘xlmusttMl subject,over which not reason, but
prt| iudice, presides.' 1 trust, in the sincerity of
my feelings, I have not mistaken the depth of
you rs. I have endeavored to avoid mistake. The
res> lit is before you.
1 his result 1 should not have invested with the
formality of a dedication, if I did not desire the
ucaasiou it ahords, in expressing my profound gra
titit le for the coulidence with wirich you have ho
nored me, to signify iny deteriuiDation not to he a
caii' lidate for re-election at tlie polls the ensuing
Aid mini.
it would indeed be an idle,if not an ungrateful af
fect a’ion of philosophy .to say tli.it this decision has not
cost me a struggle,when the feelings of an honorable
ami ition have been nourished by the marks of your
unabated kindness and favor. If, however, 1 a in
coni trained to feel no little regret that the public
relations which have subsisted between us lor six
ye.u. s, are about to be dissolved, 1 trust it will be
no reprehensible token of self-love, that I should
express the gratifying consciousness that at the
inoi nent it is announced this dissolution is to take
plarc, the proofs of your partiality have so much
acc.limulated, that il there is now a man among you
who is opposed to my being your Iiepreseiitativc,! do
not know him. This may be vanit}; but as it is the
only reward which 1 have ever proposed to myself,
in being your public servant, I must cherish it as
a u ieuiori.il of some little value.
1 feci that it i< clue to the confidence which has »ub
stated between us, that 1 iliouhl state, however p;i
rate their nature, tiie reasons which have induced j
ine lodeiiro to terminate uiy service in Congress, !
at t be close of the next session. These reasons are i
to he found in the claims of a large family to a i

1 should, two years since, for these causes, have
declined the honor of a re-election, if it had not
worn tin; aspect ol a desertion of a party with
which 1 have been, 1 tru.it, on principle, in warm
association, in the honest effort to redress the vital ■
pijnciples of the Constitution, by ejecting from !
puwer that man by whoso election we consider :
them to have been most signally violated. As the |

having done my duty, 1 hope you will permit me
to seek liolli my happiness and most appropriate
occupation, iu a more intimate association with you

In making this election, I should be very sorry !
to suppose, that even the very limited faculty id

indeed, all men, more or less, are supposed to pos
sets,should heroine absolutely inert am! unpioduc

realize. In this vineyard, large enough for us all,
1 shall be prepared to work, 1 jliopc, among the
iiu.it industrious, it not among the most successful
ol its lalmrers. 1 shall carry with me at least this
settled conviction, the result of a painful exp \-ri- !
cnee, that South Carolina, without some radical
change, must not look to the (Government of this I
Union, toh ivo her interests fostered; that tier only I
hope of securing a piospcrity which cannot be sta
tionary, which is absolutely retrograde without it
is progressive, is founded on her own domestic re
sources; in the skilful cultivation of her soil; of
those arts by which, in the abi ulgemont of human

that sentiment M State pride which h is m ,dc the
name of a Carolinian not absolutely valueless in

aliment—knowledge and virtuo.
in nniumg yon farewell, i mnnot but recollect
the affecting circumstances «l kindness which ac
companied your first invitation that 1 should he*

as well as -incc, your selection a (Sec ted me with
more humility than pride. Humility, because y ur

with that man, who, whilst living, wa* the oej ci
of your iilihoundcd confidence and'admiration, and
whose memory, now that h is dead, ymi may well

can I say aught hut this? lake hack your trust —

firmness of spirit and purity of soul—one so wise,
so modest, and so just—if you can, thrice blessed

In Closing my account for tlio I ist siv years, I
s»-c many omissions,from inability, and a retaliation
from hi hot, which is worse. Pefhapsfloo, l can
discover much that i have both sai l and done,
which I would willingly lake, b.^k, the indi-em- ;
lions of a temper too easily excited; hut there is
one thing of wliirh I will not abate* jot, and that
is, the consciousness of my leaving borne true alle
giance and perfect loyalty to your interest and ho

with that gratitude which now impels me to Mib

SPKKCH.
Mr. Spra * vb: If I have abstained from par
ticipating in this discussion, it has not aiisen Jrern
the absence of a ronviction of (ho utter injustice
of the measure which now seems about to pass
this House. •
I should most unworthily represent the I-clings
of my own ennstiuents, If i condescended to dts
cuss the detail of the bill before you. H.
rare not by what rnlc of division or propoition, yon
settle the contribution wliirh you aro determin
ed to levy, on tin- only portion ol this Union
which i> destined not to participate in the tainty
with which the bill it-elf I. freighted. I have
’considered that I should as little consult the »
i (crests as the pride of my roiwtiiiiciit-*, by < |r,,i
Mr-ring for a reduction of this or that duty. r>n in
’effect telling you, that however grossly we 4m-m

I you would rob your injustice of a little of its op
pression, he would bear your burdens with com
mendable philo-uphy and inode i at ion. No, s!r,
my constituents believe, as a sovereign party
to the compart of this Union, that South Caiolina
never did confer upon this government the power
to tax the industry el her own citizens lor the .ex
elusive.belli tit ol the industry of the citizens ol
the oilier States, Helving on the truth of tins
principle, we disdain to impair its strength, by ta
king refuge under miserable expedients to gup
; plicate your mercy.
it any bill is to pass this House, to cater for
an appetite which seeius as insatiable as the vul~
ture ol antiquity—an apjnditc which may he fed,
hut can nover be appeased—I trust, that the one
on your table is drained to become a Ijw; be
cause, out of the extreme evil, the remedy is to
come: that oilier and larger portions of this Union
than the South, will then be made sensible of thn
injustice of the system, by feeling its severity.
Do not suppose, Mr. Speaker,that 1 mean todis
cuss the political economy of this question. No,sir,
| 1,1 an enlightened age,when we appear to haveim
ported a Professor from Germany, in ab-olutc vio
lation ol the doctrines of the American System, to
lecture upon its lessons—to convict Adam Smith
j Mlupidity, and iticardo of error, I will not say
one syllable upon either the solid truths, or jlm
subtle abstractions ol this much contemned sci
ence, more especially in the presence of come
statesmen, who seem to glory in their utter igno
| ranee oirts principles, as a matter of just and hon
orable pride.
Jl, Sir, I have neither risen to discuss the gen
C|r'U l‘,*uc'i^t'j ol‘ the practical details involvctf n
the bill, or those views of the-constitution by
winch your power to pass it is absolutely deuied,
vou may well ask—lor what 1 have risen? Nor,
10 sjgnalize the thriftless iflort of reasoning,
when argument has been exhausted though yfror
is not subdued; not, Sir, to combat that mania which
lias iastened-u|ion the question of how much the
poor mail is to be taxed tor the benefit of the rich
the cunning stratagems of another question, on
whom the pelf and power of this government shall
tall—but toenter the tit in and unfaltering protest of
the ficcmeu I represent, against this whole sys
tem ol restrictive or prohibitory imposts; which
w e consider as originating in *a radical miscon
ception of the powers ol'thi? confederacy, and
leading to a ruin no less certain titan iru parable,
to our interest—interests which are unchi.ugeajlo
as the physical lawsolour soil and climate.
i a.-., you to pause.' 1 bat is too idle.—
SIijJI 1 ask j nu to relent? That, indeed, would'ho
rain, hut let uie entreat you to listen, when L
say that this romous trance comes from a Spate
which, in proportion to lieu population and the ex
tent ot her surlaoe, lias ot all others in this Union,
the rii hc.-t and most varied staples; which, ne
vertheless, hy tlic pioccss of a taiitft f rapidly iu
crea-ing tv rapidly exhausting high duties, is last
? hiking into that condition in whit h it is no treason to
Uod.il it is to man, to implore him to ti ll us how.it
c-oinos to pass, with his blight >uu pouring its ge
nial torrent on our plains, quickening into life a
once tin- products ol the temperate zone and the
truits ol the tropics, that we are glowing py< r,
even amidst the abundance of his blessings? l l o
voice ol (<oJ is only to he heard in the truths
which he reveals. Ihro'-.gh these he tells | s,
that the curicut t ihc^o blessings is turned, bv
t!ie pernicious hand of Governincnl; that what ho
makes simple, it is the pride pi man to make com
plicate; w hat he makes good, it is the selfishness
of man to make evil; and that we arc oinking hy
a psrvei -ion ol those inigh'y laws ol production,
which signalize, as first pimciplcs, the providence
of his henciiccnce. Let any man look at the
State whose humble representative I am,and>nv
that this is not true, M ilh exports that have ave
raged, lor the last thirteen years, at least nine ipil
iions of dollars, which ought to have purchased,
in the ordinary profits ol exchange, at least teti
million.- ol import*, we are nevertheless becoming
hourly more impovei ished. The solution of .our
ills is to he found in the operation of Government,
il the consumption of our Stato of articles, paying
a duty at your Cu.-tom-House, is equal *o eight
millions of dollars, annually, we pay at least, out
ot t.iese eight millions, 2’millions in tribute-tu
“ your American System ” \Vliit»t tlrts trihuto is
levied in a manner the most burdensome, it tilings
with it no recpiiting or redeeming benefit The.
moi-lure extracted trom the parched and suffering
earth, docs not return, in refreshing showers, -to
pay hack, wit ’ accumulated blessings, its tempo
rary exaction. No, it is gone for ever: and Jho
only initaclc to be considered is, that a State,
with so small a population as South Carolina,
should have bet n able to pay, since the late war,
at least 25 millions of dollars, in the undeniable
shape of a bounty loan industry, no part of which
is i xercised within her own limits.
Sir, the surfeit which this Uouso has had Of
statistical details, admonishes me ol the propriety of
abstaining from the financial calculations, which
arc at liandgo demonstrate this position. Anavtiago
duty of only 20 per cent., for the last It yeftr*.
on only eight millions of imports, auuually con
sumed in South Carolina, would justify somethin -
more limn this estimate, which rests on the great
piinciple of political economy, tir.it, in the Jqi>£
i un, the imports ol a country will lie equal to lu”
exports; and although the exact measure of the
former is not turnisiicil at tiie Custom-1 loujc at
Cliai lesion, because a vast proportion—perhaps
►even- ighth ot ti-e a li. Im thus consumed—cotno
cosdwisa into our State, and the lute are go

vcrlheli -s, they arc refunded by the coustiuip

returns to file coiniuercial and manufacturing
States, in the shape of dir. ct hounty.
