The resolution proposes a larifTon “ revenue princi

produce more or less revenue, and m one s nse, there-
lore, are founded on “ revenue principb s. ” But a
tariff in which revenue shall be the sole object, and
winch shall al the same time discriminate m favor
of particular brancht'S ot industry, is a palpable
coniradiction in terms; for the sitnple reason, that
zens of North Carolina, (the whole stock of the
Bank is J$500.000.) and that all the Directors
