VI invone of those who do not believe that a nation al debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic 5 inasmuch as it is cal culated to raise around the administra tion a monird aristocracy, dangerous to the liberties of the countr. Thit Tariff I mean a judicious one possesses more fanciful than real danger. I will ask what is the real situation of the agri culturists t Where has the American Farmer a market for his surplus p-oduct I Except for cotton, he has neither a fo reign or home market. Docs not this dearly prove, when there is no market cither at home or abroad, that there is too much labor employed in agriculture; and that the channels for labor should be mul tiplied f Ommon sense points out at nee the remedy. Draw from agricul ture this superabundant lbor ; employ it in mechanism and manufactures; there1 by creating a home market for your bread at tiffs, and distributing Ijbof to tbe most prf.ntable 'accbutitr nd bencfita- to the country will result. Take from agricul ture in the United States six hundred "thenmnd mnwomcn ancLchildrtnand .you will at once. give a home market for In6re bread stuffs than all Europe' now furnishes to ut. In short, sir, we have been too long subject to the policy of the British merchants. It is time that- we should become a little more ameritaniied ; -and, instead of feeding the paupert ana labourers of England, feed our own ; or else, in a short time, by continuing our present policy, we shall all be rendered paupers ourselves it is, tnereiore, my opinion, that a rtareful and judicious XlMm&Mtim vfiC.J$,.ce'n' De dimin riff is much wanted, to pay our national ""iebrjTim- atTor tis the means of that de . fence' withihx ourselves, on which the gaiety of our country and liberty depends and last, though not least, give a proper distribution, to our labor, which must prove beneficial to tbe happiness, indc pendence, and wealth of the community.

But it it possible, that the progrtislve inrreaM of the revenue which hat Wen anticipated, and which It necessary t the full optratioB ( the Sinking Fund, may not le realised. In that event, the pub lic e ipenditure autborited by law, may, after tbe lit of Jan. 1135, eiced tbe public revenue. The remedy In tuch case muu't lit, an increase of the public revenue jy sn addition to eiiating impactions j or3d, s reduction of the Sinking Fund. Tr, A general remlon snd correc tion of the duties imposed upon fo-eigo merchandise, seem to be required. Ma ny of the articles which pay but IS per ct. ad valorem, ought In justice, as well as policy, to Dcpiacco ai i per tcm, wmv Is tbe duty paid upon t&e principal aru dfi of woollen and cotton manufacture Tbe aame observation is applicable to tome ol the articles which pay 20 per ct d valnrrm. A rorreetlon of the Cllst ing duties, with a view to an increase of the public revenue, could hardly fail to effect that object to the eitent 01 nearly - . . f a t 1,000.000 dollars annually. Jt is nigniy probable, however, that an increase 00 some of those articles might eventually cause a redaction of the revenue ; but this can on lv take nlace where similar articles are rninufjcture in the country. In that event, domestic manufactures will have been foatered, and the reneral ability of the community to the public csigencict A f I S will have Men proportionaDiy merest u. oVronrf If it should be deemed eipe client to reduce the Sinkitis; Fund, in pre fcrence to the impoaition of addhirmal do ties, it may be satisfactory to know that the annual appropriation (or that object of 8 .000 XX) dollars, commencing on ihe 1st of Jan. 1825, will extinguish the whole of the public debt, exclusive of the three per cent. Mock, in th yaar J8??i Should the Sinking Fund be reduced to 8,000.000, an exchange ol 36.000,000 dollar of six per cent, for five aer cent. mav be effected in the course of the year I833,il the present price ol the latter stock should continue, without diminish imr. in anr derree, the operation of that fund, in the redemption of the public debt. Such n r exchange would reduce the interest, annually, 360,000 dollars. Extracts from the Secretary of the Treasury's Utter, of 23d December, 1S22. It is probable'that the annual revenue will be equal to that sum. To provide for the estimated deficits of years 1835 and 1 826, as well as to meet any extraor dinary demand upon the Treasury, which unforeseen exigencies mey require,, k it. believed to be expedient that the revenue should be increated. This may be conveniently effected by a judicious rrviVai of the Tariff", which, while it will not prove oneroua to the consumer, will simplify the labors of the revenue. At present, articles composed of two, cotton, lax, and hemfi pay differ ent ratet of a duty. Difficulties frequent ly occur in determining the duties to which such articles are subject. The provisions in the Tariff, that the duty up on articles composed of various materinls shall be regulated by the material of chief value of which it is composed, is produc tive of frequent embarrasment and much inconvenience. It is, therefore, respect fully lubmitted, that all articles composed of wool, cotton, Jlux, hemfi, or tilk, or of which any one of these materials is a component part, be subject te a duty of 35 fier cent, ad valorem. The duties upon glass -and paper upon iron, and lead, and upon I all articles composed of the two tatter materials, mar also be in- ereaaerl with a view to the augmentation ot the revenue, in an these cases, ex cept articles-composed of silk, it is proba ble, that the effect of the proposed aug mentation of duties, y gradually lead to an amhlt lufifilu of thote article from our domcitic manifactoriei. It is, however, presumed, that the re venue will continue to be augmented -by the proposed alterations in the Tariff, un til the public debt shall have been re deemed ; after which the public ejepen ished to the extent of the $ inline Fund wMtbis at present j5 1 0,0,000. But if. contrary to present aDtirlpuilobs? ; the pro posed augmentation of duties should, be fore the public debt be redeemed, pro duce ajHminution of Jthe revenuo arising from the importation ofKosTarticTes, a corresponding, if not a greater augmenta tion may be confidently expected upon other articles imported into the United States.
