Convention,
j
k !
the Committee oi 31, who Were
instructed "to considei and iepo»t ■
the measures proper to be adopt
ed by this Convention, beg leave
respectfully to report:
That they have bestowed upon the ;
subject referred to them, the utten- I
,jo« which Us importance demiin.is.
Time does not |iernut noi does the
occasion perhaps require, an elabo
rate examination ot the subject in all
its bearings; and this is the less ne-,
cessai), as the able documents re
cently punished by the Convention,
have exhibited in the clearest light,
ami demonstrated .n the most conclu
sive manner, every point «Inch it
could he important tor us to establish,
Indeed the whole question is om-
braced in the single proposition, that ;
it is the interest and duty of the ,
Slau -holdmg States of this Union,
to improve tlieir natural advantages,
In- seeming to ihemselveB that por
t.onot iho commerce Ol the coumry ;
wbicii rightfully belongs to them; a
proposition winch, it it be not' sell-j
evident, cannot derive much support j
from argument or illustration. VV e i
rest our whole case upon the fact, i
whie.h is beyond all dispute, that the j
Southern and South-western States
furnish three fourths of the entire
domestic exports ot the whole l ition,
bile they import but little more
,i;<! productions
received from abroad in exchange '
for these exports. It 1ms been shown
in the documents published by t he
Convention, that when the imparts j
of tlie United States amounted to !
8190,000,000, those of nil the At ian- |
tic States South of the Potomac and j
the States ou the Gulf of Mexico, |
amounted to only $20,000,000, aud !
while the domestic ez{»orts ot the j
Uniun amounted to 8107,000.000,
the States of the South and South
west exported $78,000,000. South j
Carolina and Georgia, while furnish
mg exports to the extent ot 8*4,- j
000,000 actually imjiortcd less than
three millions and a half. The a
mounts have varied indifferent years,
but this may he taken as an exe.ni
plification of the condition of Sooth
ern trade. a
The mere statement bf these facts
must surely convince any unprentdic
ed iruntJ, timt this unnatural state of
affairs could only have been brought
about, by the most powerful and ex
traoi dinary causes, and that from the
veiy nature of things the effect
must have been highly injurious lo
the Southern States. Without at
. . h
tempting to trace all the causes
which liav«? had au agency in produ
ring this result, we will merely ad
vert to one of the most, dbvious, and
which is perhaps sufficient of itself,
to account for it—we allude to the j
UNEQUIVOCAL ACTION oF THE FED- j
ERal government, especially in the
mode of LEVYING and DI.sBLRsmo
the PUBLIC REVENUES. If, instead j
of throwing nearly the whole of the
public burdens, in the shape of du
ties upon those foreign goods which 1
are received almost exclusively in ex- :
change for the great staples of the !
Soiith, the revenues had been levied i
in a direct tax, (however largely ex
ceedingthe wants of the government) I
the burden would have fallen, at least !
equally, upon the different portions
of the Union. But by the system :
which was adopted, while the labor
and capital of the South was borne
^own by a weight of taxation, which
in many; instances amounted to one
half of the whole cost of the articles
received in exchange for their pro
Auctions, the labor aud capital of
ether portions of the Union, were
substantially exempt from taxation,
an <! evë» stimulated bv enormous
bfi; tnties. Nor did the evil stop here,
Under tlie pretext of encouraging
4 'domestic industry," duties on *for
««"goods were imposed to an a- of

fl ncnceg were combined, all having
t |, fc sarne Object j n view, and rending
to produce the same general result,
; (> XI these, time does not permit us to
I dwell.- f, fa sufficient for us merely
, 0 mention, the long cre.litx, thr aim
tlon system, the centralization of the
exchanges, and the concentration of
the whole patronage, power and in
fl| Jen ce of the government in favor of
the North, and especially of the city
0 fNe\y York—causes of themselves
abnndantlv sufficient, to secure them
those »dvänttgcs, against wdjjfh we
it so long struggled in vain. The ea
families under which the South labo
, ; m l, under the operation of tins sys
; tern, belong to that class which one
, of the ablest writers on political econ
om y has declared to be worse than

:■'{nclemeirev ufllie Heavens''—for if
; 0 ur fields were ferule ami (he licav
a e ns projutmus, the harvest was for
those, "who reaped where they had
j not sown." Under these circutn
e i stances, so far from bung an invin-!
i cible necessity, that the South and
j South-West should bo thrown into
the hands of the northern merchants,
that the exchanges shoulil he central
ized at New- Vol k; und tlmt we
should be rendered tiributary ' to our
\or1hcrn brethren . To show, that
' we have not mistaken the true char
ucter, or mutual effect of the causes
to which we have mentioned, we will
j advert to one among many facts, il
! lustrative of the truth of our position.
| Before the introduction of the i"'0
j tecting duties, a farge and profil able
| direct trmie war act it a Hi/ carried on,
! between the cities of the South and
j the polls of Europe, by Southern
merchant?, and hi Southern ships,
For several years prior to 1807, for
j instance, our imports in the city °f
Charleston amounted to several mil
j lions ot dollar» annually. I rom this :
period, under the opeiation of the :
"restrictive system," they gradually
dwindled doVVu to i«*ss lii.iu haif a mil
lion. From the period, how ever, j
when the American system received j
a fatal blow, and the Government
commenced retracing its steps, back 1
to tlie free trade system, o»n* imports
began to increase, and have been
steadily increasing ever since—thus
showing conclusively, ihe.fcrue sour- '
ces of Southern de ; r.essLÉi on the :
one hand, and of Southq^prosperi- |
ty on the other. Fre«*do»r is the v«—
ry element of the South, in vfhich j
f, i- , iii ;
"she lives, and moves, ami has her |
being." Freedom in "all thé pur-]
suits of industry" is essential to our |
well being. We look back with sur- j
prise to the fact, that a people |hw- j
j sessed of such vast advantages', should j
j have so long ami so patiently submit- |
ted to a state almost of "Colontai j
Vassalage," and w«* hesitate not to
j say that the page inourhistoiv, which
shall record the rise and progress of
the "American system" (so called )
1 will be regarded hereafter us disrep
: «table to the intelligence of the age,
! and to the public spirit and virtue of
i the American people. But, hajipilv .
for our prosperity, and we will a«l«i, i
I for the peace and harmony of the En
! ion, this system has been broken )
down—we tmst and hefaxre forever; j
: and vve are coming back, bv slow but
snVe steps, to the great principles of
free trade and unrestricted industry,
To avail ourselves, however, of all
the advantages of this great and sal
utary change in our system, it is in
dispensibly necessary, that we should 1
free ourselves from the trammels of.
Jong established habits, opinions and
prejudices.
It is one of the greatest evils of misgov- I
