Becabse we think that the adtlption of any permanent law, for such a purpose, required the fullest and mist ..laborious investigation. Nor would it have been sufficient fur our satisfaction could we have heen convinced of the general policy of so hazardous an ezperinsett.

On all these particulars, as they respect this questitm, we think that Parliament is almost wholly uninformed ; on all we see -rams foe the utmost anxiety and alarm from the opera' ion of this law Lastly. Because if we could approve of the principle and purpose e this law, we think that no sufficient foundation has been laid for its de tails. The evidence before us, unsatisfactory and imperfect as it is, seems tons rather to disprove than to support the prupriety the hiidk price adopted as the slam: hid of importation aid the fallacious anode by which that price is to be ascertained. And on all these grounds we are ansious to record our dissent from a measure so precipitate in its course, and as we fear, so injurious in its consequences.
