advantage of being represented at

There is, however, no reason to be
teve that any of tbe transactions of
the Congress were of a nature ti af
feet injuriously the interests-of. the
United States, or to rvqaire the in

th )t they a-e less exuberantly pros

severe shock so extensively sustain
ed by lhe commercial and manufac

not been without a preemptible reeoil
upon ourselves. A reduced importa
tion frooi abroad is necessarily suc
ceeded by a -reduced return to tbe
Treasury at home. Tke net revenue
of the p-esent year will not equal that
of the fast. Aud the receipts of that

those in the current year. The di

It is within our recollection that even
in the compass of tbe same last tea
years, the receipts of the Treasury
were not adequate to the expenditures
of the year: and that' in two sucees
sive years it was found necessary to
ments of the nation. The returning
tides of tho succeeding years repleru
ished the public c fler, until they
have again begun to feel the vicissi
tude of a decline. To produce these
alternations of fulness and exhauslar
tion, the relative operaiion of abun
dant or of unfruitful seasons, the
regulations of foreign Governments,
polities! revolutions, the , prosperous
or decaying condition of manufactures
coiuiii tciui pncu nons nnu many
other causes, not always to.be traced,
variously combine. We have found
tna alternate sweftr and diminutions
embracing periods of from twi1 to
three years. The last period of de-
