Your memorialist)! believe that the an nual exports oi Hie products oi our country thrn Tli Ucracock are not ovrrate wneu est i ma tn at live millions of dollars, re quiring for their! transportation, and actu ally employing tvo hundred thousand tons i. iey find from calculations carefully made and combated, that the charge on thes ; Vessels for lighterage and detention at tl e Swash, averages one dollar per ton, ant! arnbunrs, annually, to , two . hun dred thousand dollars ; that the additional : rate of insurance, because of the risk and and nd dete;ition at the Swash, averages three luarters of one per cent, and amounts, on nuarters ot one pe the fcxpbrtsi and! imports, to; seventy-five .thousand dollars, and ou the vessels, to sixty thousand dollars per annum- This annual; tax of three hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars upon the navigation of our cpctmni nf thf cbuntrv. ibilencndentl V bf the minor evils, the vexations and difficul ties vhich will be readily perceived, can not but enhance the freight or cost of con veyance jto market. The price of freight from Norfolk, and Wilmington, j N. C (the atter but 126 miles distant from Ocra--cockj to ihe West Indies, is from 20 to 25 per i ent. less than from the ports depen dent on Ocracock Point, which difference on bulky articlesv such as lumber, staves and shingles, amounts to between 30 and 40 per cent, of their original value This freignt and charges on articles shipped coastwise for reshipment to their places pt consumption, amounts on naval stores, to 25 percent, on cotton, to between 10 and 15 perjcefit. and on staves, to 50 per cent, of thfeir "original yaluei" : j "j Tllese charges are all borne by the in- duatrly of tne country tney are aisce,rnea ow nrice of the Products of N in the! Carolina i nd u st r y, i n th e ports dependent uponjOcracock Inlet, compared with those wnerpitne costs or uetention ana prus oi lightlrage are ? nbt to be i encountered.- While at SutfolkL in Va- pipe staves com- manci 40 dollaris tt thousand, at Murfrcea- boro' and Wintop, (about thirty miles dis- tant) they are sold at 25 dollars. Red Oak staves, which at Washington,- N C Newbern and Edenton; scarcely command ten dollars per thousand usually sell at WiMingtpn for 18 and 20 dollars." . This shpal was examined by a board of Unitell States Engineers under an act of Congees.1 passed about two years ago. They state in their report jthat The pre sents ate of the navigation at Ocracock is deplo; able in the extceme." It must be obvioi s to the Committee from these facts, that t le. imposition of this! additional duty win operate as a complete interdict to our Westllndia trade : and that will be in ef- tect fd our whole foreign trade.' -Hie Con- stitution prohibits a taxi upon exports : here will be such a tax upon their substi tute representatives, that I (si the commo dities if or whichthey are exchanged, as effectually to prohibit their exportation. We might jwitt great justice, it seems to me, Mr. Chairnian, before this additional burthen is imposed on us, call upon Congress to place us on an equal footing with the other states engajged in this traded by re uioving: the obstructions to our commerce. that wo might be equally qualified 'to bear it, othirtyise the greatest iniury must re sult to J us from, the: peculiarly oppressive ope ran hi oi tne lax upon us. . 1 trust, Mr. ChairV an, Jthat the brief review which I have made of the navigation and cbVrjmerce of Norih-Carbnna will ac4uitCme'of beib a trespasser upon the time and patience of the Hoibse. -As I have the floor, sir.

It seemslthen, sir, that we are in the 1 tirst place, co create oy legislation a ue mand for whiskey, and by excluding for eign spirits;and molasses, to compel its use. I would here pause, and ask this House to reflect upon the character of such a propo sition. It, seems to me, sir; monstrous, both in a' political and! moral point of: view.
