 BnfalO. .... Desiring always to avoid extremes, and to observe prudent moderation in regard to the sproteetive system, yet hold steadi- ness and perseverance in maintaining what has been established to be essential to the public prosperity. Nothing can be worse than that what concerns the daily labor, and the daily bread of whole classes of the people, should be subject to frequent and violent changes. 1t were far better not to move at all, than to movo forward and then fall back again.

 My sentiments, gentlemen, on the Ta- riff question, are generally known. In my opinion. a just and . leading object in the whole system is tho encouragement and protection of American manual labor. l confess; fhat every days expeFienee4eea svitices mb more htid mora of tho high pro. prisfy of fFegafding this object. Our goy-' eFnient is Inade for all, not for few. Its object is, to promote the greatest good of tho whole; and this ought to be kept con stantly in view in its administration. The far greater number of those who f,aintaif thesgoyernmene belong to what may be calS led the industrious or productive classes of she community. With us labor is not de- pressed. ignorant and Itiintelligent. On tho contrary, it is active, spirited, enterpri- zings seeking it's own rewards, and laying up for its own competenc0 md its own supp port. The motive to labor; is tho great stimulus tc our whole society and no sys- ten is wise or just, which does not afford this stimulus, as far as it may. Tho pro- tectioR of American labor against the inju- rious competition oi foreign labor, so far at least as respects general handicraft produc- tions, is known historically to have been Ons end designed to be obtained by estab- fishing the constitution and this object and the constitutioRal power to accomplish it ought never to he surrendered or com promised in any degree.

 Ou: political institutions, Gentlemen, place power in the hands of all the people ]; and to mako the exercise of this power, in such hands, salutary, it is indispensable that all the people should enjoy, first the means of education, and second, the reasonable certainty of procuring a competent liveli- hood by industry and labor. These insti- tutiols are neither designed for nor suited to nation of ofignorant paupers. To dis seminate Knowledge, then universally, and to secure to labor and industry their just rewards. is the duty both of the General and State Goyermenas, each in the exer- else of It's appropriate powers. To be free, tho People must be intelligently free; to be substantially independent, they must be able to secure themselves against want, by sobriety and industry; to be substantially independent, they must be able to com prehend and understand the general inter- ests of tho community and must have n stake, themselves, in the welfare of the community. The interest of labor, there- fore, has an importance, in our system, be- yond what belongs to it as mere question of political economy. 1t is connected with our forms of governments ,and our whole so- cial system. The activity and prosperity, which at present prevail among us. as eve- ry one must notice, are produced by the excitement of compensating prices to la- bor; and it is fervently to Do hoped that no unpropitious circumstances, and no un- wise policy, may counteract this efficient cause of general competency and public happiness
