My worthy collecgtie (Mr. Williams) has, on several occasions, brought this subject before Congress and, heiftofore, always w ithout success. The army, Mime how or oiher has grown upunder hia jipposiLiun,und flourished under his speeches : but 1 hope a sea son has now come, more favorable to its reduc tion. The first argument that I shall urge for redu cing this establishment will he drawn from the present state of the finances of the country. Sir, we have reached tbt prUl In our tdiiury, wtien the ordinary revenues of the country arc insu;T cient to meet the ordinary expenditures of the government. This must arie, either from im perfection in the system providing the revenue, or from defects in the system expending it... .jJe it chargeable to either it equally merits 'serious inquiry und speedy correction. I pretend not to be deeply learned in the science of finance ; but it does not require much sagacity to discover that the finances of this govetnmcnt are in a declin ing and dilapidated condition ; and that there are only three alternatives set before us, by which to supply the deficiency in the Treasury. 1st. Hy loans. 2dly. By imposing taxes. And,3d!y. By retrenchment and economy. The question is, to which of these alternatives shall we resort ? Shall we go on as we have begun, with the bor rowing system, making loans fter loans, as long as wc can obtain them? For one, 1 think not. The readiness with which capitalists lend their surplus funds to the government is no induce. ment why we should borrow them, air, the fa- imp nnt- n( hand on James itenshaw. for R120 45. ctlity ot obtaining money on cremi, is one ol the most untortunate ana seductive temptations that can be held out, either to individuals or to govern R34 : with other notes and valuable papers among which arc three notes of hand from myself and Capt.

If any proof of this position is required, we need only look to the history of this coontry for the past four or five years. What man of extravagant habits will forego his gratifications, ! and give over his projects, when he can obtain money on credit, merely by asking for it ? What I set of office-holders will willingly give up their snug births when they can retain them by bor rowing money at 5 per cent.? But, as the indi vidual who is always borrowing, will soon come to bankruptcy and ruin, so the government that draws its revenues from loans, must sooner or later reach the period of taxation and oppression. Loans are but temporary expedients, and should never be tesorted to but in cases of extreme em ergency and then only in anticipation of the or dinary revenues of the country- Is thivourca.se i I s there, at this time, any such emergencies press ing upon us ? Certainly not. In times of pro found peace we resort to loans, and for what pur pose ? To meet the ordinary, the regular and ev ery day expenses of the government. Sir, to what will this lead i It will lead to a large na tional debt, and then, as an inevitable conse quence, to oppressive taxes. Do gentlemen con sider the operation of these loans i That eve-. ry loan only increases the necessity for another, at least in the ratio ol the preceding loan : As an example : for the lastvycar we authorized a fcwn of three million ot dollars i .we are told that aioan of eveii wiUiorir year; and, for ought Tcan' scF loan of five million at least will be require eac h of'thcTc m alningy e a rs o f "thcrpTesenr ad mmistratioti -making in all twenty-five millions. That much for principal ; but at the end of thut timet it will be found that the debt contracted during the last five years of the present admin istration, will be within a fraction of thirty mil lions. Again : at the last session we directed a loan of three millions of dollars ; but, from the Secretary's r?poj:ia apytears that, only? ?,545,43 1 dollars have been received into the Treasury ; so that we are actually paying interest on three roil fiohsj when' bhiy about two'.m -.fcfriattitmhave ment. I only mention this, to show how profita ble loans areven on the favorable terms of sper cent. ;fetf . . . v, ' Sir, as welf tntght you expect to quench thirst in dropsy, by drinkingias to restore your finances to a sound state by loans t every draught only in creases the want f another. There is no end .to this borrowing system ;Jt is like, therchie of Anafine, me lurtner you pursue it, wc aeeper u involves you in the inextricable. labyrinth. We have the awful example ot England before us, and we ought to profit by that example? V hijt is it but the grfcat national debt that presses down willows up le greater portion of.U) rertnyt? ofihiit pmr rnmrjt ; cfebU forihe jvtneiTtff the inrrrcst bf;whichf the pcopl: 9TC taxcd'liter ally Irom the, cfownt of their. heads to the, soles . or their feet. And,' sir, let mc here remark, that the national debt of Digland, as indeed the debts of all the other states of Europe, were incurred pnnapinijr br the military ViiaMthmenii tit these" states, first, from keeping up, in times of peace, standing armies unnecessarily large, rnd, next, from tb'war' carried biCwKJi iKose'lttnTelT" It Is not, haj!irdin much to iayythatW Idsit'two thirds of the revenue of every government in Ivtiropo i consumed by the arnrn or by penons connected cither directly or indirectly with the military. W e sec, then, the consequences of loans. They only put off the evil day, which, when it does come, we will only feel the heavier, by the pre vious procrastination. Uut, sir, the honorable Chai r m;. n of the committee of Way s and Means? in his speech the other day, tells tis not to be larmcd ; that the condition of our finances is not so bad as we fancy ; and, he kindly consoled us by promising better times. I always listen with great pleasure to the speeches of that gentleman for he always speaks good tense he always gives fnt, 1 nftM , (, liii. wiwl I l tie the information he imparts, J cannot think that his calculations are always infallible. Sir, I dis tinctly recollect that the gentleman at the las session promisea us ocucr umci , inu i icavc i to memlers to say, If his predjetions have been verified. fiuUslMbTt gentleman is not the only person that has been deceircd in his hopes and mistaken in his calculations. Even the Secreta ry of the Treasury himself has now and then fallen into an error. Sir, not a year since the present incumbent came into ofiV.e, have his csti mates of the revenue come within two millions of the mark ; sometimes exceeding, and sometimes falling short by that amount. In his annual report for 1818, he lays that the revenue of that year may he consjdercd as the average amount which will be annually received; this amount was about twenty-six millions ; but, we find tint the revenue of the very next year, (1819,) fell short of that estimate by about two millionsof dollars that the revenue for 1820 fell short about tour millions, and that for the present year will fall short by a still larger sum- Even, sir, in ordinary calculations, we find that mistakes may sometimes be made, The Secretary, in his report of 4th December last, informs us that the deficit for the present year will be about seven millions and nearly a half of dollars ; but, in his supplemental report of the 20th of the same month he ssys that the deficiency is only about four millions six hundred and fifty-eight thousand dollars : thus making a difference between the two reports of two millions seven hundred and ninty-three thousand dollars. Hut, a worthy gen tleman from South-Carolina, Mr iropkins,) gives us to understand that there arc a few more errors still behind.! and a gentleman from Penn sylvania has dropped a hint more consoling than all the rest. He tells us it will be found that the deficit of the past year Is only about sx hundred thousand dollars. hich of these Ingenious fi nanciers will prove right it is rathe1 r difficult to say : but, from the Secretary s report, one thing . . t a.a is plain, viz : mat our nnances are in a uecnning state, while the expenditures of the government remain stationary. Take the years 1819,1820, and 1821, and there is a falling off of about (our millions annually. Sir, I make these remarks not in disparagement of any gentleman, but merely, to show how little reliance ought to be placed upon calculations of the revenue of years yet to come. Our revenue is principally drawn from commerce our com merce lcpcids upon the statcpr.the.frorld, and who ean say .what that will be. a shprt time hence f No, Mr, there is no dependence to be placed on these calculations for better times; if we sit here wait nvg for letter times, we maWait until - ruin tumbtesabourour heads. lltttrgentlemcn may say if you will not wait for the flowing of the wa ters, and in the mean time supply our wants by loans, what will you do ?X Will you, resort to the next alternative and lay taxes I Sir this, question -of taxation is a very trying one ; it comes, home to the feelings of gentlemen Now, although I do not claim to possess more independence thai) othcrstte is no other 'alternative, 1 would prefer a gentle system of taxation to this everlasting still beginf hlng,and never ending business of making loans opon loans;' until the resources of tht country will 5 be absorbed in the payment of bare interest : but, tbere is another alternative, and until that is tried - and found wanting, 1 for one will not consent to impose taxes. 1 tm alternative consists m tne reduction pf useless establishments, ui retrench ments of u n necessity experidilureaftd in a word,- : t) bringing the expenses of the government with in the means of) the country. Sir, in. making these remarks, ! would not be understood as cast ing the. smallest censure on any department of the Executive : the burden oT censure must fall " upon us and our predecessors. .
