wtt a rcfo'ution oifcred by a gentleman
ffOia Pennfylvania (Mr., Gregg ) VVhen
heconfidcrei that our importations ffroin
Gfeat Britain amounted annually to about
a? ,000,006 of dollars, and that' the whole
ot this trade was according to 'the propo
fition of the gentleman, to be prohibited,
and it was alfo confidere J that- average
amount of duties on articles imported
from Great-Britain was t wenty per cent,
it would at once be feen that the mcaluic
wouli affecl the revenue to the atnouut of
five millions annually.
Nor did it, in offering thofercfolutionJ,
appear to have b.een taken into view, that
wnile the meafuns had a very material cf"
feel, on the revenue, it had likewife an
immediate eft'l on the habits of our citi
zens who con fumed goods imported from
Britain. VViih regard to theung!e arti

created in proportion to the brohibition of
cotton joods j, rn th fecondpla?e, the re
venue would be affccled by it; and to the
la(l place, it was extremely probable, that
thejtorcign demand fur the raw materials
we furnilh would be confiderably dimi

Mr. NichoKoii concluded by remarking
that he would nut undertake to say that lit;
had made the best selection of articles. It
was with great difudeiice he had mode the se

discussion when the subject came Wore llie"

this time, "to avoid any delay which mljjht a

should haveeutere'd upon the t.uLjtt.
This resolution was immediately con-'u'er.

ordered to be printed.

Mr. Crowtiinshield said the gentleman
from Maryland (Mr. Nichihon) had rlcicd

in tihirur such a step. Mr. C. said he did
not lnhtvcthe adoption of that pi oposltion
wuld ailcct the revenue to any such extent.
He tlid not believe it would afTcct the revenue
to the amount of a miilion'of dollars. liee&ue,
