DISCRIMINATING DUTIES-AGA1N
To TILE EDITOR


Lin my letter 10 you of -, point
ing out an error Ill Your remarks, No.
2, upon the Presidents Message, fad
have inadvertently, towards the close,
committed myself, one SO palpable, that
am quite chagrined 10 think Of it. 1t
did not occur to me at the time, and
now iastento correct it, III recolIect a.
right, the two concluding sentences of
that letter, are iii these words: g II is OH
ly when British vessels come from ports
III Europe or elsewhere, not lii the West
Indies and on the continent of North A
merica (meanng British pO>sesSlonS,) TO
and with which our vessels are ordinarily
permitted 10 go and trade, that they are
entitled TO the benefits of the convention,
which even then are extended TO the yes
sells only and not their cargOes, unless
the latter be of British origin" a Bri-
fish vessel, for instance, coming from
Bordeaux with cargo of French goods,
would pay the same tonnage duty only
as an American vessel, to viii; six cents
per ton and no light money: but the
merchandise would be subject to the ad-
dltional duty of ten per cent"
Al the particular moment of penming
the above, had, some how or other, lost
sight OF tie navigation taD, and was think
ing Oh Tie treasury exposition OF the con-
vention, and of the acts OF Congress pass
ed III pursuance thereof, pyiOr to dat htU.
| should have said" II is only when
British vessels with cargoes of british o.
r'gtn, come from ports in Europe or else
where, not from the British possessions
in the West Iadies and on the continent,
OF North America, &c. that they are en-
titled to the benefits of the convention
and are admitted to all entry upon the
same terms as our Own"--OmiItiug the
balance of that sentence beginning with
which even then, &c" and in the in
stance cited, in the last sentence, of a
British vessels coRiing from Bordeaux
with cargo of French goods, | should
have said not chat she would nav the
same tonnage, &C." but instead Of be
lnS admitted to all entry at all, she would,
under our navigation law, become for
telted." This however, so far from one
rating IN favour Of what you have adyanc-
cd, makes the case still stronger against
YOU. The other statements in M, for.
mer letter, are perfectly IN conformity TO
law and the Instructions of the treasury >"
