The miuialry backed them wtih a cull for the continuance of the levenue ; one mii lion five hundred thousand pounds ster ling, derived from the tait tax ; and with a threat to lay that amount upon senve- thing else if It waMakru off of salt. All would not do. Mr. CatcRArT, and his friends appealed to the hiouts and I.v .J.SS.SJ.xabf the rtorLt, as overiulmg considerations in questions of taxation. They denounced the tax iirlf aa tittle lest than impiety, and an attack upon the goodness and wisdom of God, who had filled the bowels of the eaitb, and the wavea of the ses, with salt for the ute and blessing of man, and to whom it was de nied, its use clogged and fettered, by odious and abominable taxes. They de manded the whole repeal ; and when the ministry and the manafacrurersrover' pintl)vih:eke ofeihetftplgiojffeirt d to give up three fourtha of the tax, they bravely remitted the proportion, itood out for total repeal, and carried it. Mr. B. could not doubt a like res-ilj here, and he looked forward, with infinite st'.ibfjction, to the ero ol a rata tbadc n tall. The first effect ol such a trade would be to reduce the price of alum salt, at the jmport cities, to eight onjnijcait vrnr sremn,-cip.rrttoa.3' cy to get rid of ,tha tariff regulat ioa, wdiich tuwiuuieorwcieni lor measure, ana return to the. measured bushel ot po lo. intead of p9 weighed one of 50.

He examined the operation of this t&rief at Sew Or leans.

FtlLow CtTitaNS : The first session of the 21st Congrett has terminated, and duty, as well as inclination; prompts me to lay before you the result of our delib erations. Many of them have been of a grave and interesting character, and well calculated to have an important Ocrin cpr the future destiny of ouf jcournrv. Our pti'lfi"c 'debt' has afwa y s been con sidercd worthy of the easiest attention of those wbo have cee;i entrubteu win, the nanjicement of our national concerns ; and, indeed, when we reflect that it was, in part, the price of our liberty, we are not at all surprised that its extinguiih imiu has always been looked to as an object -of the very deepest solici tude. There are, indeed, iu some portions of our country, interested po iiiLuns, wbo di not aeern to feel the same solicitude. These men speak ex ultitily of a splendid government and of a luUotul debias.a. uaUonal Westing t a cuUitfd to bind us logelber,'and to pre serve tnd to perpetnate "the Union."'

Economy in our private relations is a vir- tn imperative it may very well suit the policy 6f ' govea-rimentt intended to oppress the people, lJ encour thei: iia.ional debt, and, by becoming ikotors to the weahh and aristocracy of tne coutuiy, iatercu iheiu i.i the prcser vntioii of a government wnicb ihey would otherwise be disputed to subvert and des troy But 1 iruti (be day is tar, very far utsunt, wnen it snail become i.ecessary to appeal to the avarice of the American people, in order to secure their attach ment to American lioerty ; when, instead of exclaiming with our fathers, " give me liberty or give me dea;h ! ' mere will be heard Trotfciflg-tMit-4be oIUI-gfwlig of avarice, preferring tin own personal gratification to all those blessings of a tree government, for which our fathers so freely poured out their blood and trea sure, and counted them but dross in the comparison.

But o7,0f J.OOOoi ihe5 percent- stock of the p iblic debt is due the Bank of the United 3tates, lor stock subscribed far by the Government. This stock is telling in too market at a pre mium of 26 per cent- Thia iterr, there fore, in our public debt can hardly be looked upon as debt that is burthen tome to the nation ; for the Government could at any moment tell her stock in the bank, uay off her suusipptioit, and have a balance left ot at least K I J JO.OOa! The balance of our Kevolunury debt bears aa interest of only 3 per cent, and it not, therefore, tn object of very gieat anxi ety. If, then, we except this and our bank subscription, the whole of ou.r other debt may be discharged by the 3lit De cember. I have been the more particular on the subject of our public debt, because 1 know fhe laudable anxiety you fctl fcr ita complete extinguishment ; and wLen we look to the history of public debts in other natbns, we re most solemnly dilirm.which we have nukt wufully depar monisbed of the propriety of making cv cry possible exertion, in time of p :ace, to relive the people from this national t)rThefl", '-"- - As the public debt approximates to ex tinction, the taiitf daily becomes a sub ject of more interest, particutarlr to the agricultural part of ie Unioa, whose in terest is more directly and more serious ly affected by it. While revenue contin ued to be the main object of the tariff, and the duty imposed a reasonable one. no one was heard to utter the languige of complaint. But the system it now chang ged ; its main object ia no longer reven ue, out protection, cxciution oi. xoreign trade, and ultimately a destruction of the revenue.
