1831 · Washington
by Hambden
Washington, 1831. 15pp, uncut and untrimmed, partly loosened. Tanned, some dampstaining to top corner, light scattered foxing. Good.
The anonymous Hambden lends qualified support to President Jackson's assertion that Congress may constitutionally levy a protective tariff in order to foster the development of domestic industry.
He scolds the South's devotion to free trade, "which can no more exist as a general principle than universal and perpetual peace." He counsels that we "adhere to the Union as the rock of our safety," a warning unheeded by South Carolina when, soon thereafter, it sought to nullify the operation of the tariff within its borders.
