experience has since given such calamitous evi
dence ; and his the' inert ol taking ihe most intra
prd aland against it, while others were unheeding
or mdillereiii to sohsequeuces. To guard agamt
this danger, every article imported that did. no)
come in conflict wirn ihe protective policy, was
made, by the compromise act, duly Ire 10 the 31Mb
of June oext, which, in trie aggregate, equalled in
value those on which the duties were retained
that is, one half the duties were forthwith repealed;
but to prevent Ihe wsic-ility ol abuse, and haguard
in the most eflecmal maimer, tho two leading pro
vision of tbe act, it was expressly provided that,
after Wat time, all articles of import, except a
small Iml contained in the Olh section, should be j
ubject lo duiy, and lhat no duty vhuuld thereafter 1
exceed U per cunt, ad valorem. Tne intent 10a ol

proportionally htaher ou the dutied articles! and of
the latter, lliat under uo pretext whatever, lor pro

per cent, which Mas regarded as the extreme lim

preul a return to .the protective policy, or the
tailing of the revenue beyond whut toe uoceasary
and economical want of the government might
require, and which, if the should be respected,
wul prove all sutlicitut fur the purpose.
Having secured ihee essential poiuts, as far as
the Siate and the I' 11 1011 at large were concerned,,
the next oltjnct was ao to reduce the duties 00 the

what occurred at'the exlranrdinary acaion, pro.
pose, as he ha in these Uoaolulioti, to repeal tbe
proviaion'in ihe distribution act which make it
void if the duties ahould be rtuted above 20 per
cent. It is well known 10 all, lhat M could not
have pasted without the iusertion of that provi.
ion, and lhat on it passage depen led. that of ihe
bankrupt bill. , Now I ask him how, after having
secured the passage of two such miportof t me.
sure, can he reconcile it with what ia fair er
honorable, to tym round and propose to repeal the
very provision by which their ptssage wa ef.
fcclod ? .
But the Senator demos that the necessity is of
his creating, and iiuisi that if ihe revenue from
1 'ho land were restored, rigid ecooo'my enforced.
ana an me provision or me compromise respected,
there would not bo sufficient income lo meet the
necessary and economical waula of Ihe Govern
meut. I take itue with him on tho fact, and
shall uow proceed to show, lhat even on bis own
data, there would be amplo revenue ailhrut rais.
tug the duties above SO per rent.
According to the estimate of the Senator, the
whole amount of appropriation excluding public
debt, required for tho eurvtce id the year, perma
nent and current, under the various beads of civil
list and miscellaneous, army and navy in all their
branches, is twenty millions five hundred thousand
dollars. To which he adds I. other annronrhi.
tious, not included iu these, one million five hundivd
aitachod lo contingent appropriations, but such
unforeseen exteiMhiures s are not usually included
under tho various headset civil list, miscellaneous,
army and navy. Tbe Senator ha clearly attempt
ed to make a distinction that does not exist, aud iu
consequence made a double provision for Ihe ssme
object. Of tha two, I lake the less sum, a I
regard il ample aa a permaneut contingent fund,
which will moke hia estimate for tho year, thu
corrected, to be twenty-four millions of dollars a
sum surely amply large.
