Governor Giles, of Virginia, took his stand last
winter against the American System, denying the
power OF Congress TO lay duties on imports in
the manner and extent proposed. Gov. Troup,
lately proposed that the g states having common
interest with Georgia should concur in a non-con-
sumption agreement. Gov. Burton, of North-Car-
DINA, recommends that his State should Join their
neighbours. And Governor Taylor, of South Car
ona, is quite provoked at the Convention at Har.
risburg, composedlof Farmers and Manufactures.
His Exceency has discovered that it is exceedingly
improper in them to meet and consult on common


interest, and sign petition to Congress in that as
semby rather than in their own respective neigh
bourhoods. These Excellencies would have us go
to foreign countries for what can not only be had at
home, but which may be procured, in this country
quite as cheap; while labourers aad farmers, and
manufactures will be much benefited by this sys-
TEN of domestic industry.


As every protected article Of home manufacture
is said to have decreased in price, in consequence
of domestic competition, what sufficient reason can
be given in opposition to the encouragement Of the
American System The Southern people can OBJ
tain them reasonably from their brethren in the
middle, western, and northern states, as from for
egn countries, and why should they be willing 10


send their money abroad for those things which


they may obtain on as good terms at home, at the


sametime that they promote the prosperity of our
t own citizens Do they prefer the encouragement


of foreign agriculture and manufactures to the Anne
rican Do they fear diminution of the sales OF


their produce, If further duties laid on the


importations of foreign goods Other nations take


our produce, not because their productions are not


excluded from this country, but because they cat
mot do without them.
