Facts vs- theory No one can hnva failed
lo perceive that all the argument! adduced by
the opponents of the American system, «r«
merely speculative, chiefly based on Adam
Smith's system of political economy a sys
tem, which, however ingeni >us ar.d profound
it may be, has been long agoesploded in the
practici of every na ion which has niado any
considerable advances towards wealth and
power. The greatest commercial nation in the
world acts upon directly Hdverse masiins, and
the effect of her policy has been to make her
among the mosi powerful, likewise, in arts and
arms. It enabled her to withstand, single-ha ri
de,), the power of France, when every nation
in Europe, one by one, had liven over rim by
her armies. And it at length supplied her with
means wtierehy to subsidize the forces of the
League which overthrew the schemes of Napo
leon I' now enables her, though her ten itory
is comparatively small, Si though she is bowed
down by a weighs of debt, to take the first rank
among the nations of Europe, and lo act as
mnnire mthetr disputes.
It it not, however, for reason* »tich as these
that we wish to see the proscriptive policy

Our opponents may say. (notwithstanding
the example vve huve cited,) that these views
are merely s| eculaiive and theuretical, and
are therefore emitted to tin more weight than
their own. What, then, say* experience T |i
has conclusively supported the tlieuiy. It has
fortified it bv facts which no sophistry can I
pervert It Im* shown that I lie evils anticipa
ted from its operation will not ensue, and that
the benefits predicted must—that every article
of foreign fabrics tins been reduced in price,
While the value of our own products lias not
decreased. But this fact lias been often reit
tinted, and conclusively proved by refereme
to official documents and those who are ad
verse lo the tyslein know it. although they
cautiously avoid touching on it in their learutd
dijqrkitious.” For our own parts, one such
'a.: as the foregoing would outweigh all that
could he said in a century by political empirics,
a though they should he fortified by all the
writers on the Iheorv n( the science who have
evei deluded the wor'i with their prublemati

If the Southern people would divert a portion
of their populaiiin from the pa. subs of agricul
ture, and employ a part of then immense re-1
sources in the establishment of manufactories,
we venture to predict that they would find the
face of their country improved and their pro
perty enhanced in value, and become the war
mest ailvuca'es of the system w hich they now
denounce. And we have no doutit that to
this conclusion they will come at Iasi.” I
Mr. Clay's Defence of young tVickliffe.—That
Mr. Clay 11st- bem most grossly apersed in re
lation to ids defence of WinklilFe, in being siyl*
e the accomplice of the murdereris not
dt>»r ot aiionidiment. No mailer what he
or does, he is vilified and tbnsed by men
who are capable neither of comprehendi tg nor
appreciating the grandeur of his cbaiacter.
Acting from their own contracted and narrow
^iews, they are not a van* that Mr. Clay pos
sess-*sa mind which cannot he brought dow n
to a level with their own that he is urged on
hy Hn impetuous spirit, united with a cautious
ja«l^ nnnt, (tw q talities which the1/ think arc
incompatible with each other;)—and s'imulat
e<l by a mor tl honesty of purpose, which we
"'l l wish his enemies would imitate. He takes
m i)ye*paths and dirty lanes to acq iitv fame—
I*ms not the advocate today, of a measure,
,(*n which, tu-morroic, lie will turn his back
Br* Jacks *n, Calhoun ami Benton. With
g'anceaJiDJSt of hint,ton, he perceive the
(ruths which ought to tie laculcated nr.d un
tended, and tlie errors which should lie ex
posed and defeated and unit an intrepi
dity equalled only by the talent, zeal and
prrseveiance which hare so olteu cruwned Ins
efforts with success, lie marches boldly for
ward in the path of duty, regardless of all the
clamor winch interested or deceived men
raise against him.
He acted thus in defending young Wickliffe.
In bis character of Attorney, he did not think
it his duty first to examine the evidence hv
which alone he could have anived at n true
knowledge ol all thenrcuni-lances nor if lie
had done so, would it have been his duly to de
clare llie pt isnner guilty or innocent. V ague
rumor, we know, had spread abroad what were
Said to lie tlie facts connected with the uiifoilu
nate affair. Hut, how s Idoin i„ it the case that
the stories which nre whispered among the
community are sutiiiurd in their most mnteiial
parti* by ttie evnl »nce, when it ciines to be giv
en under tbe solemnities ami sanctions of an
oath, anil when its extraneous mid irrelavont
parts are sifted and rejected. He have read
the evidence in the case of VVicklifle, and we
aver that it most essentially varn-a in all the
particulars which, before the trial, weie related
by those political partisans, (for the act grew
out of a political dispute) who had long been
I he deadly and implacable enemies of himself
and hi father. If wliat they said had been true
—if the facts reiterated in the Washington Tel
ograph au l its hopeful pupils and copyist*, had
been mist lined before the tribunal ot justice,
which.acquitted WmUhtlV, then lie icould have
been guilty of .nurder, and the jury on their
Oa'li- would so liuv«* said. Although, however,
they went for the in »*t part false, we will ad
mit them to be true—we will admit, lor argu
ment sake, that young Wick lift was a murder j
er. And pray, wlial tort of a doctrine is it
which would associate hi* counsel in hi* guilt
And who is there, t iat does not at the first
blush of I lie q lestinn, revolt at its monstrous
absurdity and injustice Vet, there arc men,
44 honorable men,” who can gravely sit down
and declare that Mr. flay is a wui ilcrer’s ac
complice, Iwcaiite he defended a man whom a
jury has since declared to be. guilt less of all crime
Blind infatuation or despicable hammess, which
resorts to such a weapon to injure a political I
opponent
Mr. Clijr is not the only advocate who lias
met wi*h this disingenuous treatment. Lord
Chancellor Fiskinu, before he was advanced to
the highest judicial office in Great Britain, w as
similarly h sailed—a <d M Clay might justly
adopt, wi h a lew alterations, as Ins own. the
'«"g iage used hv Lord K. on that occasion

“the chirm, ari.iigned in the C unt where lie

alarming consequences may he expected to

44 from \rhot he may think of the charge or of
4‘ 'be del nee, lie ass lmes the character of the
judge nay, lie assumes it before the hour of
4 j idgmmit, and, in proportion to his rank and
44 rep tation, puts the heavy influence of, per
44 haps, a inis aken judgment into the scale a
gainst th** accused, in whowfaoor the benev- 1
*4 cuent p*in< iple of A :ie ican law makes all
44 presumptions, and which com mands the very
“Judge to be his counsel
Such is the true attitude in which every plea
der at the bar stands towards every indivi f«»• I
who may be charged with crime. It would
ha'e been Mr. Clay’s duty, therefore, to defend
WicklifTe, if applied to, though, instead of l*e.
iicviug him innocent, lie had believed him to he
guilty. We. have said more mi this subject
than vve had intended, arul more thail its own
intiins:c importance merited. Bn', view if in
nnpther light, and it abilities more interest—in
smuch H* it shows how inconsiderately, wan
tonlv and falsely charges are ma le against
Mr. Clav—not one of which rests on a better
foundation than that on which we have been
commenting. The gome men who have said
that lie was the accomplice of a murdeier/'
beeati e he defended WickliflV, have Raid that j
he was a corrupt intriguer.M because he voted j
for Mr. Adams—and an electioneering dema
gogue because he has, in the conduct of sum,,
of his opponents, painted 44 Vice, ns a monster

President of the Contention—II is generally
admitted ilrni neither Judge Manlinll, Mr. Ma- I

Several vounger members of that body have been
therefore named among them Philip P. Bar
brur, R*d>ert Stanaid, Robert B. Taylor and
Wni. F. G ii don. [We would remark, en
passant, that if the last named gentleman ob
tain it, he will have been the most successful
electloneerer sve hive ever known, having
been iticcewvely elected a Senator, to the
Convention,and in Congress, since the first o*

POWKLL, of Kr.-derick. It is incumbent, par
ticularly, on the friends of white representation
lo concentrate their strength, in the choice of
that important officer, on a gentleman who a
grees with them in opinion. For although we
have no doubt perfect fairness would be mani

any event, yet we should leave nothing to
