Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Patton, of Virginia, on the Tariff Bill, and in Reply to a Speech of Mr. Adams, of Massachusetts: Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 5 and 7, 1833 This view ofthe question is fully sustained by an authority which, in Vir ginia, has always been regarded as entitled to the highest respect, and cannot fail to be so regarded every where, for the ability with which it treats of the origin and character of the Government, and the lucid manner in which it ex pounds those doctrines of constitutional construction upon which the republi can party came into power in 1801. I beg leave to read a passage which places this matter, which I am now considering, in a clear light. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
