S-i hsve they been on account of the greater pro (Mtrtiomte bounties and drawbacks which are now mnmed on several artichs, and soma benefirial iler'itin antiriMted from the Iodeptodeot Trea ury in checking speculation. OA the contrary, the resuUion in business which tin V occurred 4 nee the middle of 1839, and deeply alii icted" the revenue of same other count riea as well h iMir own, and the protracted aupensioo of specie i.ivnifM hv manvof the banks, which has coo- tinned over a large part of iba United Stales since October iu thai yesr, will probably terminate soon, by the salutary reaction or great commercial Drincinlns: and that event roust be accompanied bv a coumd?rable increase of imports and duties. The amount l the latter, therefore, baa been esti mated higher than the actual receipts in the present year, but not so high as tbey were in 139 by about two millions, nor so high aa many anticipate tbey will be. But if the baukaoo not speedily resume, it is lo be feared thdt the eat 1 matt will prove larger, instead of smaller, than events will verify. , Tlie Wvenu from lands must continue to be low er under the present lawa than might otherwise be expected, because that portion of the vast sales in IdW and 18:J6 which were made to speculators, must, for some years longer, come in 14 the market in compel ai w with the Government ; ar.J the emi gration to Texas, as well aa the continuance of the supemioa of xoecie payments by the banks over much of the West an4 South-west, is likely to ope rate injurKaiely somewhat longer, though probably with a force much diminished. In rcsAuct to the estimates for expenditures, it need only be ohierred here, that any conaideraLle addition mad by -Congress to the new sppropria. tious csllt.l fMr would require a provisioa of further m,' "I meet jbero, corresponding id amoun'.; iny dnnmutido in tboae appropriations would eeeded by many of ft-d," a'aa, reduce, in i similar matinlr, the amount of;quence. in 1810 and 1820.

The transactions of individuals upon which our revenue depends, roust of course, have undergone an unusual chsnae at th same time. v.The imports fell within two years, in case Brut referred to, from near one hundred and oinely mil lions to one hundred and fourteen 5 and in the sin. gle year just pasv-d, fell almost sixty millions. Such infljiioH and eonlracliona must ba destruc tive of ufl confidence in calculations for ihe future, while the causes of ihem shall continue to operate unreiiMMlied. What were those cause f i Tbev will be found lo have been chiefly connect ed with Ihe abuses of banking. On the occasion first referred to, they were the superabundance of a fictitious medium of circulation, with the attend ant overtrading and speculations in 1936, and ihe , consequent susperuioM of specie pay menu in 1837, aa well aa toe l waiters ana scarcity 01 any meuiui till the laiter part of A. D. 1838. Then another expansion commenced, extending into 1839, and accompanied by another increase in imports of nearly fifty aiillions, which ended again in the eon tractions by tanks, suspensions, and commercial reverses, which have suddenly reduced the imports of 1840 more than one third, and in many places augmented seriously tba erobarrasmenU before ex isting from similar vacillation in the paper cur. rency. ' ' ' ; IIow far some imprudences, abroad, at the same time,aimilar lo these, though in country et.joy. in any advantaaea which can result from Na tional Bank, may have augmented the evils here, !. sneaae of the inlimats moneyed relations .be twees us, need not new be discusseo, ibouah prob ably their influence waa large and unfavorable.
