tion, Mr. President, how ftr it is possible to con
vert the public lands into, a great source ot reve
nue. Ceriam it-s, that all the ettovja here'ofore
made for this purpose have most signal jy failed.
The harshness, if not injustice tf the" procfl-
jnr. puts those upon whom u is to operate upon
the alert to contrive methods of eyadlnj. and
connteractinff out, policy, and' hundreds ot
schemes, ip the,4hapeov approprKtious'of landr
tor Koacis, uanai ana acnoois, grants to aci.u ti
seiHers, &c. are rt-siorted to for the ptirjbae of
Controlling our operations. 'But, sir, let us take
it for granted, that we will, be able, hereafter, to
resist these applications, and to reserve -the'
whole of your lands, for fifty or for a hundred
years, or for all timej to comie, to furnish a great
fund for permabent revenue, is it sir-ible thht
we shoula do so? Will.it promote the welfare
of the U. States to have at our disposal a per
manent Treasury,- not drawn from live pockets
of the people, but to be derivedfrom a source
independent of them ? Woyrld it be safe tocon
fide such a treasure 4tb'thekeeprng ofs our na

haps 1 stand al-me here Nin the opinion, but it is
onfJ have long entertained; thai one' of ihe
jrre.est safeguards Of liberty is ai jealous watch
fulness on the part of the people, oyerthe collec

tbe command ot money by means unknown to,

security. Even the revenue system ,-of this coun
try, by whicb the pecuniary eyoUrces are deri
ved from indirect ttucutitn from duties upon iui
norts -has done much to" weaken the resnonsi-
bility of our federal" rulers tor the People, and
lias made, them, ; iii,; some measure, careless of
their t rightss and regardless of the high trust
committed' to their care. Can any man believe.
a J
sirVthatif $28,000,0.i0 per annum was no w levied
by direct taxation, or by an appertionmeiit of the
same among the States, instead of being raised
by an indirect 4 ax, of the severe effect of which

the unauthorized imposition of duties, and 'ap
