The object of impos ing duties on impoits should be to rai-e reve nue to pay ihe necessary expenses of govern, ineut. Congress may, undoubiedly, m the ex ercise of 11 sound discretion, disciinimale in ar.nuging the rates of duty on difX-reul a/11 rlcs; but the disciimiiialiniis sliould be witniii ihe retenue stand nil, and ho made ttfth :• ttiuv to raise money; fur the su'ppoi t of gov- pi 11 in-n-'. r It beconips imporfutt 10 understand dis (inct'y what is meant by a revenue stand ird, the maximum of whit h should not be exceed 1 d in the roles of dutv imposed. It is con ceded, and experience proves, that duties may bo hud so high as to dunini-h, or prohibit al together, the importation of an y given aiticle, und thereby lessen or destroy tho revenue whu h, at lower rules, would bo dented from its importation. Such duties exceed \tho reve nue rates, nnd are n it imposed to raiso monev for the support of government •«. If Congress levy a duly, for revenue, of one per cent, on a given article, it will produce a given amount nf money to ihe treasury, und will incidentally and necessarily afford protection, or adva u lage, t o ihe amount of ono per cent, to ihe home manufacturer of a*similar or like article over rite importer. If the duty bo ruiseckto ten per cent., it will produc e a greater amount of money, an d afford greater protection. Jf it be j-till raised to twenty, itveuiy^five. or thirty per cent, and if, as it is raised, the reve nue derived from 11 is found to bo increased, the protection or.advantage will also be in creosod ; but if it ho raised to thirty-one per cent , aiiil'it is found that tho revenue pro diiceil at that rnieOis loss than at thirty pot- cent , it teases to be ;i revenue duty The precise point iu the ascending scalo of duties til winch 11 is ascertained from expen euee that the revenue is greatest, is tho maxi mum Tat.? of duty which can be laid for the bona fide purpose of collecting money fur iho support of government. To raiso tho duties higher than that point, and thereby diminish the amount collected, is to levy them for pro- U'Ctiuu merely, and nut fur revenue. A s taiic^. then, a« Congress ma y gradually hu rense the r.uc uf duly on ^ green nrticlo, and the\ revenue •V-is ini-rcasi-j t-y surh incie , ise . 0 f cluiv, shev •11 c itiihiii tin, retenue standard. When they go bet oud that point, and, as ihey inciease the duties, the retenue is dim.ni-hed or de stroyed, ihe art celiacs to have |,, r nsohie.l 1 lie rai-ing uf money for tho support of gov erumetit, but is | or protection mt-ruly. It docs not f.d'ow dial ('ongresssh'nuldl 0V y the \highest duty on all articles of import which they mil bi-iiririilnn the revenue stand ard ; (or sin h rates would probably produce 9\ inui-li Unger amount than tho economical ad muii.u.iiionoC ihe govpin.ni-iit would require duty than others. Below the maximum of the roviluie st.mdiitd Congress may and ou^bt indiscriminate in the rales imposed, taking care so to adjust them on different articles as\ to produce 111 the aggregate the amount which, when added to the prorcuds uf sales of public lunds, m iy be needed to pay (he economical expenses of tho government. In levying a tanlfof datios, Congress exor cises the taxing power, ar.d for purposes'ol revenue m iy select the oliject-s.-of taxation.— They ma y exempt ceitain articles altogether and permit th-ir importation fiee of duty. O n othois they may impos e low dunes. In thes£ classes should be embrace d such articles of necessity as are in genera l use, and espornilly such as are consumed by tho lubiwY tfiid die poor, as well as by the wealthy citizen. Car should bo taken tint all the gre m interests of the country, including manufactures, agricul ture, coriiniTce, navigation, and the mechanic arts, should, as far as in.iy he practicable, do me equal advantage from tho incidental pro lection which a just system .of revenue duties may afford. Taxation, direet or indirect, is 11 butdcn,and it should be so imposed as to ope ta'.o a s equally as ma y be, on all classes, in the propoition of their ability to-bearit. To make the taxinar power an actual benefit t o one class, ,i.L J iJt\.h.iiny iticrmisev ilm bin duu'uf iliD'uilien beyond their proportion, and would be mani festly imjust. Tho terms ' protection to domestic industry,' are of popular import; but they should apply under a just system to ull tho various branches of industry iu our country.. Tho farmer or planter who toils yearly in his fields, is engaged^ in. 'domestic industiy,' and is us much entitled to havo his labor 1 protected,' as^lbe tnanufac lure/, the man of commerce, the navigator or (he mechanic, who are engaged also in • do mestic industry' in their different pursuits. less amount of revenue tksin-tvould be derivcT from lower rates-. They operate- tis- ' protec tion' merely 10 One branch nf' domestic indus try,' by taxing other branches. By the intriduyioi i ol'm nimums, or assum ed and fa'sp values, and by 'bo imposition til specific duti.-s, the injustice and inequality of the act of 18-12, in it- practical operations on great interests nf the country the inoulentnl pro- ifciinn which can be afforded by our revenue l-iivs. Such a system, when once firmly estab lished, would be permanent, and mil be subject to the (Mttsunl complaints, agitations and changes winch must ever occur, when duties are not laid 'or revenue, hut for the ' protection' merely of a favored interest In ihe di'lihcrojions^f Congress on litis subject, it is hoped that a spirit of mutual concession and compromise lie!ween conflicting interests may prevail, nnd that the result of their labors may be crowned with the-happiest cunsequenc.es. By ihe Constitution of die United States it is provided, that 'no money shall be drawn from the treasury but inconsequence ofappropriations rnnde/hy law.' A public treasury waTundnubl- ly 'contemplated and intended to he created, in winch the public money should be kept from the period of collection un'il uecded'for public uses, in the collection and disbursement of Ihe public money no agencies -hove ever been employed by ktiv,-except such as were appointed by 1 he go vernment, directly responsible to it, and undec its control Die safe keeping; of Ihe public money should be confided to a public treasury created by law, and under like responsibility anil control. It II nut to be imagined that the framersof the con shtutiun could have intended tha t a treasury should be created as a place of deposit and safe keeping of (lie public money whicji tVos irrespon- ble 10 the government. The first Congress Caztnovia, iV. Y. ew M'ill October 2,18-15. i nery under the constitution, by the act of the second September, 1789, ; to establish the Treasury'De- parlment,'provided fiir the appointment of a trea.- surcr, and made it his duty 'to receive and keep the miintys'oftheUnlred States,'and 'at all times to s'uhnnt to the Secretary of the Treasur y and the Comptroller, or eitfier of them, the inspec tion of the moneys in his hands.' —'Pfrat bonks, national or State, could not have been intended to be used as a substitute for the treasury spoken of in thccdristitutkin, as'keepers of the public money, is manifest from the fact, that at the time Utere was no national bank, and but three or four 'Stale banks of-limiled capital Trmt — <\oi does 11 lolluw ili.it the dunes on nVar.

Articles of primo necessity or cl i oarsie qunhly nnd low prises, u»ed by tho mas ses of the people, arc, in-many mstance?j-suu- jeeled by il to hoavy taxes, while articles of finer quality and higher prices, or of luxury, which con be used only by the opulent, arc lightly taxed- It imposes heavy and unjuM burdens on the furmcr, tho pi nlcr, ihu commer cial man, and those of all other pursuit* except the capitalist who bus made Ins intestments in manufacture?.

The well-known fact thnt the tarifTact of 1812 was passed by a majority of one vote in the Senate, an d two in the House of Rep resentatives, und that somo'of those who felt themselves constrained, under the peculiar circumstances existing ot the time , to vote in its favor, proclaimed its dcfecls, nnd ex pressed their determination to aid in its mod ification on the first opportunity, affords strong and conclusive evidence that it wa s not intended to be permanent, an d of the ex pediency nnd necessity of its thorough revis ion. In recommending to Congress a reduction of the'presen t rates of duty , an d a revision an d modification of the net of 1842,1 am far from entertaining , opinions unfriendly to the manufacturers. On the contrary.Tclesire to see them prosperous, as far as they can be so, without imposing unequal burdens on other interests. The advantage unde r any system of indirec! taxation, even within the revenue standard , mus t be in fuvor of tb e manufacturing interest : an d of this no other interest will Complain I recommend to Congress the abolition of the minimum principle, or assumed arbitrary an d false values, an d of specific duties, an d tho substitution in llieir place of ad valorem duties, ns the fairest an d most equitable in direct lax which can be 'imposed.
