" MrJ Verplank from the Committee pa Ways and Means, made a report intended to accompany the bill No. 641, reported from the Committee of Ways and Means yesterday, to reduce and otherwise alter.the duties on imports, &c. From the foregoing report we; make the following extract : i " The Committee perceiving no sufficient reason why foreign luxuries should not pav tJiHr share of the public burthensjpropose to raise the duties on silks nearer to the average rate of duties imposed, by the bill; than they now are under the act 1832. They also pro. pose lo fx a moderete specif c duty, equal to about TWENTY PER CENT on the value upon lAA&fland also upon COFFEE, which were made wholly free of duly by the act of last summer. This jhas been added from a motive of financial prudence, lest the re- venue from the customs, should,' from any modifications oft the. bill, or other cause, fall short of tho estimate, or lest the proceeds of tke public lands! should be in part i diverted to srme other channel; in either of whereases an increased revenue would be derived from this source of about ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS, calculated on the rather short importation of Tea in the last ycarj Should this sum not be needed for the public service, itsmay be. repealed without affecting the other parts of the system."

In pursuing this object, Mr. Polk took Trequent occasions to discuss the " Federal principles," as ho was pleased lo term ..them, of .Mr, ,Clay, and . to - condemn them in strong and unequivocal language, and as utterly ai war with his own doctrines, the former doctrines of Judge White and his friends and the ' favorite doctrines" of Ten: nessce." Ia this way, Mr. Clay's ' American system" was made a leading theme by Mr. Polk, and j" a PROTECTIVE TARIFF" treated as the Vnain branch of that system. We shall see in the following authentic ex. tract from his j" address to the people of Ten; nessee," published in pamphlet: form at the time, and jalso inserted in: the Nashviila Union. of the 10th of April, from which we quote, in w nat estimation he then held the ta: riff policy.
