view, in tn nrst place, to tne law as
they now aland, and not aa it haa been pro,
posed to .extend them. During the three
years I v have mentioned, the pension list
was very Jarge ; ainca then, however the
number of pensioner has been rapidly
diminished by death. 8e that, whereas,
in 1829, the turn expended on this object
was nearly two million, it it now lust
than ao milhon, notwithstanding the
great number of pensioners since put upon
tbe roll,Hby epcinl,acts of. .Ctngress, nod
the relaxed rules of the .War department.
It may fetrly be presumed, calculating
upon the probable mortality among men ;
none of them leas than seventy years ol
age, that in the course or some f ve years,
thia branch-of expenditure will be reduced
to a very considerable snm. '

I will hare remark, sir, that the people
of the aoyth, ( whet hnr , correctly , jot not, I
will hereafter consider,) are firmly impres
sed with the belief, that under auj system
of duties, while the revenue is derived al
most exclusively from import, their pro.
portion of the burthens imposed by roer-
al-taxation, will be much greater than It
ought to be according to the principle of
the constitution wliich regulates the a p.
portionment of direct taxes. Under these
circumctaruies, they think they have
