In the winter of 1828 a tariff bill reached the Senate, of a character which the wisdom of the country soon afterwards essentially modified. Public opinion in New York had not yet fully learned to respect that freedom of trade which can furnish to our looms wool from flocks ...that pasture at the antipodes, and supply the inland provinces of China with tea-chests from the mines of Wisconsin. The Legislature of New York took the subject into consideration, and, with the concurrence of all parties in the Legislature, by a unanimous vote on the main question in the Senate, by a vote of ninety-eight to three in the House, the sen- 152 Life of Martin Van Buren, ators of New York in Congress were in- structed to vote for the bill. Van Buren, holding obedience to instructions a cardinal doctrine of Democracy, overcame his own repugnance to the provisions of the tariff act of 1828, and gave to it a reluctant as- sent, " in obedience," said Senator Benton, " to a principle which we both hold sacred."
