IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS.
Mr.. Benton has submitted series of resolutions
TO the Senate Of the Uni,el States, which have
been discussed and committed. They propose, l.
TO make purchases OF the public Debt, at its cur
rent market price, whenever they can be made
beneticiay for the public intete ss, and consist
emily with existing engagements; 2. TO reuire the
LIST sect OF the Sinking Fund Act OF $780, which
directs the ichois Of the surplus money in the
treasury 20 be applied 10 the public debt. and to
repeal the 18th sect of the act OF lSl7, which au-
thorizes a retention OF 2.0G0,000 of surplus reve-
nue. IN the Treasury; 3. TO require coiupe nsaon
from the United States Bank for the use of the
balances OF public money in It's hands; {. TO re
ieoe the people rs soon as possible from the bur
then OF the public dcbt which the resoluoo state
may be effected IN four years by timely and
Judic'ous application of the means within the pow
er OF Congress; and D. TO abolish the duties 10 the
amount OF the Slo.0O0,0oo (now annually levied
on account OF the public debt,) as soon as that
debt ispaid; which abolition may be made ac-
cording to the present indications of the revenue
without Diminishing the protection due to any
branch OF domestic manufactures, and with mani
lest advantage to the agriculture and commerce Of
the country
There Is some opposition made TO these rcsou-
tons Some persons doubt, whether the curren:
revenue will not be so Car abridged by the future
operations OF the tariff, as TO prevent the eNin-
gufshment OF the public debt in four years. Tho
the revenue has suffered less from the present
ertrdrGgG7it tariff than has been expected, be-
cause so many more goods were ordered in an.ici-
patton OF the passage OF the act; is suspected
That fewer goods will be hereafter brought in by
the fair Traders, and more will be smuggled i'm 10
the injury o! the Reconnaissance also entertain
doubt, whether the stocks will rise as soon as
the government goes into the market 10 purchase:
and therefore, think that i, may be its interest TO
wait the present course of events.-Leaving these
questions 10 be decided by experienced. ;inanciers
we can only say that we are perfectly willing TO
hasten the eXiingushment OF the public debt; if
possible, in four years. nation, that is out OF
