LETTERS on MIR. MADISON.

The history oil the two letters which We are
about TO publish, is briefly As follows:
These letters were not originally intended
70, the press, but are now authorised TO be
pubi,shed, on the earnest representations OF
some Of the friends of MIR. Madison, 10 whom
the publication appeared to be OF great in'er-
est. and Of deep importance to the nation.
In the present state of our country these pa
pers cannot but be highly acceptable to the
hubble. The opinions OF the distinguished au-
thor. one OF the trainers OF the Constitution
;f not the father OF 1t, cannot but carry with
them great weight. They are OF the gres-
aer authority, from his having been appealed to
hv those who sustain doctrines opposite to
those which he avows and defends. he stands
in this respect a. the arbiter between contend
ing parties, and tits hoped that his lucid espo.
sitions will 60 far TO convince many VITO have
heretofore seriously questioned the power OF
Congress which he maintains.
In the calm philosophy of his retirement from
shs turmoil Of the world. the judgment whlch
he has deliberately formed. and now argu.
nentstiyeiy sustsins, cannot be suspected OF
being influenced by any political bias or casu-
al excitement. His is the wisdom Of age--the
fruit of experience. plucked from the tree OF
knowledge.

LETTER I.
MONTPELIER, Sept. IS, 1928.

MONTPELIER, sept. IL, 1878.
DEAR SIR: Your late letter reminds
me Of our conversation on the constitu'
tionalty of the power OF Congress to
impose tariff for the encouragement
of manufactures; and of my promise to
sketch the grounds OF the confident o.
pinion had expressed, that it was a
among the powers vested in that body.
HAD not forgotten my promise, and had
even begun the task OF fulfilling it, but
frequent interruptions, from other caus-
es, being followed by bilious indispo-
sition, have not been able sooner to
comply with your request. The sub
Joined view of the subject might have
been advantagesusly expanded; but
leave that Improvement to your own
reflections and researches.
The Constitution vests in Congress,
expressly "the power to lay and collect
taxes, duties, imposts and excises." and
"the power to regulate trade"
That the fermer power, if not parti-
cularly expressed, would have been in
cluded in the latter as one of the OBJ
iects of general power to regulate
trade is not necessarily impugned 10y its
being so expressed. Examples of this
sort cannot sometimes be easily avoided,
and are to be seen elsewhere in the
Constitution. Thus the power Ito de.
fine and punish offences against the law
of nations;" includes the power, after
wards particularly expressed, "to make
rules concerning captures, sc. from of
Tending neutrals." So also power to
"coin money" would doubtless include
that Of regulating its value" had not
the latter power been expressly insert
ed The term taxes, if standing alone,
would certainly have included duties,
impost, and excuses. In another clause
ii is said "no tax or duties shall be laid
on exports, &c." Here the two terms
are used as synonymous. Pleonasms,
tautologies. and the promiscuous use of
terms and phrases, differing in their
shades of meaning, (always TO be ex.
pounded with reference to the context
and under the control of the general
character and manifest scope of the in
strument in which they are found) are
TO be ascribed, sometimes to the pur-
pose OF greater caution; sometimes to
the lmperfections of language, and
sometimes to the imperfections of man
himself In this view of the subject, it
was quite natural, however certainly the
general power to regulate trade might
INCLUDE power to impose duties on it,
not to omit in clause enumerating the
several modes of revenue. authorised
by the Constitution. In few cases could
the Tex MAORI cautela" occur with
more claim to respect.
Nor can it be inferred, that a power
TO regulate trade does not involve a
power to tax IL from the distinction
made in the original controversy with
Great Britain, between power to regu
late trade with the Colonies. and DOW.
er to tax them. A power to regulate
trade between different parts of the EN-
pure, Was confesssdly necessary; and
was admitted to lie, as far as that was
the case, in the British Parliament; the
'axing part being at the same time de-
MED to the Parliament, and asserted TO
DC necessarily inherent in the Colonial
