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trie aggregate, equalled in value those on which the duties were retained that is, one half the duties were forthwith repealed; but to prevent Ihe wsic-ility ol abuse, and haguard in the most eflecmal maimer, tho two leading pro vision of tbe act, it was expressly provided that, after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.

Going; then back, and passing over trie minor poiuts, I Charge upon, tha Senator end his friends, ia the first place a' palpable infraction of the compromise, in raUing the duties witUoot making Ihe least ellbrt to' reJuce the expaoditures of Uie (Government, lo wjial vmt nr.cessary Jo its economical administration. The act'ia positive, that no more revenue should be raisod thau what adiiiiuist ration might require t a provision just aa esHti'utiat as that which requires that no duty should be imjiosed eWl for revenue.

Not an eftgrt was made to ascertain what the wants of the Treasurycquired; not one lo reduce the expenditures, although the Senator and bis -, party had come in ou a solemn -pledge tonake great reduction. 'Instead of thai, every effort was mado fo increase the expenditures and add to tho loans, fvrgntful alike of the compromise and pledg. ei to Ihe people, and at tho same time; tu 1 educe the revenue by giving away tho income from the r lands, with tbe iuteotiouol increasing the duties oa the imports. . : : ;-TBe iiexr cbarg I makaii a creat enlaraement . of-lhe liMt of free articles by the act increasing tiio duties passed ai tjie'laal session, in direct violation of the fifth section of, the cotnprornite act.' .

I go farther, tyid call op him to eipluiu how be can, in fsirne and tionor, after 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.
