| TO THE EDITORS or THE ENQUIRER
have read with the deepest interest the remarks of
Mr. Cambreleng the Bill TO amend the laws regulat-
ing the collection of the Revenue &C. published in
,he Telegraph on the 18th ult In the beginning he
defends NJ York and her commercial population against
the most unwarrsntabe attacks; he repes the charg-
os against our officers employed i'm the Customs, and
successfully shields the nation against the violent
Citations OF interested made through their
Representatives. He unolds the motives which prompt
all these things and shows that the destruction of New
York, would he matter of pleasuse a certain quarter
the manufacturers and the East could profit thereby
The embarrassments of and the probable re
suits oil our new mode OF imposing and collecting from
he Customsare so clearly pointed outthat il
DC believed that these arrangements have been made
Tor particular and not for general interests.
Whilst he corrccts M -HcDuiIies poi,ica economy
ana shews that duties must finally fall with
weight on consumption, whatever of suffering may be
produced before the article is consumed be-
tween its manufacture and consumption; he wisely de.
cides that the floor of Congress not ALWAYS the nlace
Tor examining aud sustaining the truths of political
economy; yet he could not do otherwise than expose
the hcresy that imposts did not fall finally on the
sumer
Most cordially do agree with him that this is not
question Qhe Tarif) Of pounds, shillings, SC. but a
great constitutional question, TO be settled by much high
er his very of the cues
tons TO be settled, he has infused so much of the
importance TO the u States and to the cause of liberty
and free government that not human SOUL save him
who is blinded by passion, interest could fail to give
the most profound attention TO the subject and to nves-
tigate it with all his powers-He then proceeds TO show
the ruin which this odous, unjust and abomnabe sys-
TEN has brought the various Interests in the u States
ana mat even Massachusetts, has not been exempt from
the most extensive suffering The illustrations the
evils oil taxation just and strikngHis eulogy of the
President is admirably drawn and his late acts Give

tribued 10 him by Mr.. c. Upon the whole without
gong through every part of this Speech cannot but
say That It'll worthy OF being read and studied by every
one-Too much commentator canret be bestowed on
that portion of 1t which relates the firing back our
measures and with the exception of the proposition that
the altered and extended condition of conede racy
claims from us amore enlarged exercise OF powers" the
whole speech is in accordance with the best and pures
views oil constitutional right, and just policy. Even
the sentiment proposition adverted to- may be in
Intended as to be correct, tor it is not sufficiently de-
yeioped TO judge Of conclusivelybut the dissemina
ton OF this speech would be productive of so much
good that beg you 10 publish it,
u The authors request shall be most cheerfully
complied with, as soon as we obtain copy of the
Speech-wii the u. S. Telegraph be 80 good as to

Speech-but have very little doubt that il deserves
all that our respected Correspondent says of it-EDI
