TONS gratitude 20 Gen. Ia Eayotto none
Of these dificrenf acts can be brought with
in the enumerated powers Of the govern
ment. Aud if its revenue Is 70 be expen-
ded, only in sustaining these powers, not
only must the acts in question, but very
large proportion Of the numerous acts on
our statute book, involving expenditure, be
pronounced violations of the constitutional
charter.
Nor is this all. Under every other con-
Struclion than that for which / contend, the
people will have eifectually defeated an in
judicious distribution of their powers and
resources, their own prosperity: for having
given to the general government the eG-
clusiUc power of raising revenue from COM
merce, while to the states they have re-
served many ofthe most important powers
of government, they will have given to the
one, abundant resources which cannot be
used for want of objects on which to ex-
pend them and to the other, important
powers which cannot be exercised for want
of revenue to sustain them; and the only
possible mode of avoiding this difficulty,
will be to give the appropriating clause of
the constitution the construction warranted
by its terms--a construction authorising
its application to- every measure of general
interest, whether it be to the education of
the people, the improvement of the coun-
try, or the removal fan injurious popula-
ton from our shores.
I have thus, my dear sir, in compliance
with your request, given you in very great
haste (t.currente calmo," as you will per-
ceive,) my thoughts on this interesting sub
ject. If il will be of any service to you
to show, that such sentiments prevail at the
south, you are at liberty to make what use
you please ofmy letter.
With very sincere regard, your friend.
