	Tariff of 1833 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tariff of 1833, also known as the Compromise Tariff, was proposed by Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun as a resolution to the Nullification Crisis.
		It was adopted to gradually reduce the rates after southerners objected to the protectionism found in the Tariff of 1832 and the 1828 Tariff of Abominations, which had given cause to South Carolina to threaten secession from the Union.
		The compromise reductions lasted only two months in their final stage before protectionism was reinstated by the Black Tariff of 1842.

		Missouri Compromise, 1820: This agreement, worked out in the House and Senate, allowed Maine to be admitted to the Union as a free state, allowed Missouri to be admitted without restrictions on slavery, and banned slavery in the rest of the Louisiana Purchase territories north of Missouri's southern border.
		The compromise measures kept the conflict over the extension of slavery relatively quiet until the repeal of the Missouri Compromise by the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854.
		Clay brokered a compromise that allowed California to be admitted as a free state, while the territories of New Mexico and Utah were organized with the slave question left open.

	Henry Clay
		On 12 February, 1833, Clay introduced, in behalf of union and peace, a compromise bill providing for a gradual reduction of the tariff until 1842, when it should be reduced to a horizontal rate of 20 per cent.
		Clay, in December, 1833, introduced resolutions in the senate censuring the president for having "assumed upon himself authority and power not conferred by the constitution and laws." The resolutions were adopted, and President Jackson sent to the senate an earnest protest against them, which was severely denounced by Clay.
		The compromise of 1850 added greatly to his renown ; but, although it was followed by a short period of quiet, it satisfied neither the south nor the north.

		Congress, for its part, passed a "Force Bill" in 1833, authorizing the President to take whatever actions he deemed fit to enforce the law.
		Clay's tariff bill — quickly approved in 1833 — specified that all duties in excess of 20 percent of the value of the goods imported were to be reduced by easy stages, so that by 1842, the duties on all articles would reach the level of the moderate Tariff of 1816.
		This tariff is known as both the Tariff of 1833 and the Compromise Tariff.

		Many in the North and South saw the compromise as a final solution to the question of slavery, states rights, and balance of influence in the nation and would bring an end to the threat of secession.
		Compromise was becoming more and more of a failure between the Northern and the Southern points of view.
		This Congressional compromise effort would have been an amendment to the constitution, but is almost never discussed by present day historians because it discredits their banner of a "war to free the slaves" and the northern icons, people they hold up as the moral beacons of America.

	Tariff of 1842 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tariff of 1842, or Black Tariff as it became known, was a protectionist tariff schedule adopted in the United States to reverse the effects of the Compromise Tariff of 1833.
		The Compromise Tariff contained a provision that successively lowered the tariff rates from their level under the Tariff of 1832 over a period of ten years until the majority of dutiable goods were to be taxed at 20%.
		As the 20% level approached in 1842, industrial interests and members of the Whig Party began clamoring for protection, claiming that the reductions left them vulnerable to European competition.

		This was a single, continental process of compromise, since the interests confronting each other were largely alike in the two countries, whatever the differences of language, religion, or legal system.
		The 1833 political compromise in each country made concessions to both the old-line conservatives and the new-style opportunity-seekers.
		The crises were the "same," too, because pressures to compromise these problems were drawing military leaders everywhere to line up on the side of consensus and "order." Santa Anna simply took a little longer to clarify his shift from a liberal to a conservative position.

		In the Congress, Clay was the statesman behind three historic compromises that had earlier preserved the Union.
		In 1820, his Missouri Compromise maintained an equal number of free and slave states by admitting Maine (formerly part of Massachusetts) at the same time as Missouri was being admitted to the Union.
		In 1850 Clay fostered a third big compromise with a set of 5 bills, which included admission of California as a free state and a strict law on runaway slaves.

	John C. Calhoun
		Almost all of the Democratic Party, and many of the Whigs, held that the constitution was a compact, but denied the right of nullification by a state; and some of these denied the right of secession to a state, holding the indissolubility of the union of these states because bound by a perpetual compact.
		Calhoun was equal to the plausible and powerful support of this theory, which, however inconclusive from his premise of the constitutional compact, can not impair the truth of that premise, which, with transcendent ability and accurate historic research, he established on an impregnable foundation.
		When the tariff question came up again in 1842, the compromise of 1833 was rudely overthrown, and the protective system placed in the ascendant.

		President Jackson in reply dramatically issued a strong proclamation against the nullifiers, and a force bill was introduced into the U.S. Senate to give the President authority to use the armed forces if necessary to execute the laws.
		Jackson, however, felt that the South had a real grievance and, behind his show of force, encouraged friends of compromise, led by Henry Clay, to prepare a bill that the South would accept.
		This compromise tariff was rushed through Congress, and after its passage (1833) the South Carolina state convention reassembled and formally rescinded the ordinance nullifying the tariff acts.

		Calhoun's gravestone in Charleston, SC After a one year break as Secretary of State, Calhoun returned to the Senate in 1845, participating in the epic Senate struggle over the expansion of slavery in the Western states that produced the Compromise of 1850.

		But it is a notable landmark in the efforts to compromise the inevitable results of Secession.
		Clay's enmity already was buried deeply in his opposition to Jackson over the establishment of an all-powerful Central Bank, and over the issue of tariffs, in which Clay had supported South Carolina's threats to secede, and Jackson had replied with a threat to send Federal soldiers into that state if it tried.
		Calhoun's voice, while proved by history to be on the losing, as well as the wrong, side would become more and more powerful, as conversely, Jackson's force and leadership diminished to the vanishing point even before he served out his second term.

		That is the point of view maintained in the "Tracts for the Times" from 1833 to 1841, which gave its familiar name to the "Tractarian" Movement.
		Keble's sermon in itself not very striking on "National Apostasy", had marked 14 July, 1833, as the birthday of a "second Reformation." At Hadleigh, H.J. Rose and three other clergymen had met in conference, 25 29 July, and were endeavoring to start a society of Church defence, with machinery and safeguards, as befitted responsible persons.
		But he never doubted that the movement of 1833 was a work of Providence; or that its leaders, long after his own departure from them, were "leavening the various English denominations and parties (far beyond their own range) with principles and sentiments tending towards their ultimate absorption into the Catholic Church."

	Today in History: June 29
		On June 29, 1852, statesman Henry Clay, known as "the Great Compromiser" for his feats of legislative reconciliation between the North and the South, died at the age of seventy-five at the National Hotel in Washington, D.C. In his will, Clay freed the slaves of "Ashland," his Kentucky plantation.
		In 1820, Clay negotiated the passage of the first of the three pieces of legislation which were to earn him the title of "Great Pacificator." The Missouri Compromise soothed the anxieties of both Southern and Northern factions by maintaining a balance between the number of states that permitted slavery and those that prohibited slavery.
		With orators Daniel Webster and Stephen Douglas, Clay argued pleadingly for tolerance among factions and for the preservation of the Union.
