It is probably the next moat important docu meut nf all the large mass of atate paper which will be submitted to the new Coueiu by Ihe new admiuistraliou. It require no ordinary nerve to propose an important revo lution in the financial ntfuirs of a great nation a how organization of the tariff, which is to effect the iuleiel of the whole community, as well as to control, in some debtee, the st-ong wishes of a powerful class. But, great as the responsibility is, Mr Wulker has met it as becomes his character, atid the elevated office which he now. fills under the govern ment. His tepott bears the mark of unusual industry. It i founded upon a large body of statistic, which it has cost him ' much pains to collect. We understand front the members of his department who are the best acquaint ed with the character of these documents lhat no report from '.he treasury has ever been laid before Congress which was accompanied by more voluminous and impot'.ant docuinen . The repott is very long iu itself, as it was expected to be very caiefully compiled and contains many bold and impoitanl propositions It will speak for itself ; and we cannot doubt that it will receive the attention of the people. Rut it may be well to lay before them a brief analysis and summary of its riincipal positions. The great question discusseJ in the report arises out of the second proposition, which is as follows : "That uo duty be imposed on any nrlicle above the lowest rate which will yield the larg est amount of revenue.'5 1 - This posittou is fully discussed, and main tained on constitutional principles, as well as upon the grounds of equal rights and justice. Two new constitutional argument are pre sented against protective duties. The first is based upon the words of the con.titation grauthi" power "to lay aud col lect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises.'' All these taxes are grouped in the same clause the power as to all is the same aud all must be laid only that they tnay be collected ; and, if they are so imposed they cannot be collected, in whole or in part, by making the duty so high as to amount to n total or paiiial prohibition, or nny reduction of the revenue. Such duty is considered as violative of the authority given iu this elausevof the constitu tion to collect tales, duties, Sic. The second position is based also on the words of the constitution, requiring every ta riff to originate in the House of Representa tives, because it is a bill "for raisiuo leveuue."- That is deemed the only constitutional object of such a bill, and not Ihe protection of classes or tncir pursuits. .' :' It is show u lhat the protective system does uot increase the wages of labor thai ihe sys tem it to augment the profit ' of capital- and not the wages of labor and that the result of the system uuhl be, iu a series of years, as the power of manufacturing capital is aug mented from lime to lime, to bring Ihe wages of labor under its control, aud ultimately to reduce those wages, so as to increase the profit of capital. Mittimums and specific duties are proposed to be abolished ; aud. their effect illustrated, in making the duty much higher on the cheap er article consumed by the poor, aud much leav er 011 ihe finer article purchased by ihe nioe wealthy. It is1 shown that the tax collected by :the tariff -is f only the 27 tnillious of duties paid oft imporlfty but 64 millions in addition in enhanced prices of the protected domestic article, , In illustration of this position, it is shown that the du:y is not paid .by the foreign producer, but by the consumer ; and that Ihe duty constitutes as much a part of Ibe price at the cost of production. . The making of laws to incrense the profits of particular pursuits is opposed, and the view taken that legislation Cur classes is against the doctrine of equal rights, nd rcpugnaut to the spirit of Ihe constitution." The argument of couutervailtnng the effect of foreigu tariffs by our ww is auswered. It is shown that the manufacturers who urge this argument are;' not the patty injured by these tariffs, but the great iutcrestg of agricul ture, commefre, and navigation; and that, J a a - a mjiirea as tnese interests mar ne ny loreign tariffs, ihey ask no countervailing tariff at home to increase the injury. The great loss imposed upon our agriculture by the tariff is illustrated. It is showu that the-reductiou of our tariff" would lead to thr repeal of the corn-laws of England, aud the res-frictions in other foreign markets. . The warehouse system is recommended, aud the loss of our trade iu foreign exports for the want of such a system is clearly illus trated. 1 ' The favorable effect of the bill allowing a drawback of our duties on foreign exports car ried through our ports to Canada is shown, and an extension of the system recommended, so as to permit the ep.riation of Canada goods in transit through our own po-ts to foreign countries., A reduction and gradua tion of the price ofpublir lands unsaleable at n.eent rate- In favor of settlers and cultiva tors, is recommended, as one of the means of increasing Ibe reveuoe- n nowo mat sucn reductioa of-tbe pricein favor of tbo settlers mould increas the wages bl labor. Tea "constitutional treasury " is earnestly recommended, having no power to make loans or di-cotrot, or issue any paper, aud confined exclusively to the use of gold aud a sliver. Id cAonexion with the M treasury of the constitution," tbe location of a branch of ibe mint at New York ivreeorn mended as a-place for keeping safely the vast amount ef revenue collected at New Yoik, and also a means of increasing the coinage, and the circulation of gold and silver. ' This, whole report is marked by the great clearness aud boldness which are characteris tic of its author. Its propositions are emi nently entitled to the attention of ibe people ' " From th Union. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE ISAVY. The navy during ihe year has been called into uuusunl activilyt and the repoit:docs jus tice to ihe service of our various squadrons. It looks ahead to its future operations, and presents ibe most gr atifytag evidences of the energy which iu!es over the department. It is difficult, iu a hasty sketch" like ibis, to pre seut a complete aualysis of its various state meuts and suggestions. The very condensa tion of the paper tupersedea the necessity of au exteuded summary. The Secretary of the Navy steps at ouce in madias res. There is no preparation or preface to the work. Like a working man of this working cabiuet, he proceeds to the task in hand: He tells the country where our xquadmns bate been employed during ihe past year; what our vessels have been doing in the Mediterranean, on the African coast, on the Rrazil station, on the Asiatic station, (embracing Commodore Parker's cruise to the , Chinese coast, as well as Cum. Riddle's destination to the same station;) and what vessels have constituted ihcPacific and the Home squadrons. He devotes a short but striking passage to the employment of the home squadron under Commodore Con uer wbichyhe says, " was much larger than has usually sailed under one American pen nant. It gave efficient protection to our in terests in the Gulf of Mexico, nnd contributed to spread a sense of security over our country tls extreme limit of th Del JVorte." It refers to our uavy yards, to the naval asylum in Philadelphia, and to the naval hospital fuud. It presents an interesting sketch of the uetv naval school at rort Severn, at Annnpolis which, for less than the sum of $28,200, already appropriated by Congress' for employing professors to teach the young officers of the navy, is calculated to teach a greater number of midshipmen and to imbue them better with some of the most im portant elements of their gallant profession. It refers to Ibe Observatory at Washington, to whose superintendent (officers if the" navy) it pays the corapiimeuta to which they are so justly entitled for their attainments and services. It calls for a liberal provision to extend aud improve the navyyard at Pensa cola; and whilst it doubts the adaptation of a navy yard at Memphis to Ike repairs of ships of war, it explains ihe decided advantages it possesses fur building' steam-ships, aud estab lishing a manufacture of cordage, in Ihe im mediate vicinity of ihe hernp-growiog region. Il reserves the subject of lake defences for s special communication to Congress.
