nave no apology to make for the freedom with which
.ne opinions OF the Chief Magistrate on this interest
ing and delicate subject, have been examined.
In framing the Tariff, they believe that the acknow
euSed principles OF the Constitution have been applied
as faithfully as washington. Jefferson Madison and
nonroe, could have desired: that the present Tariff

principles which those great statesmen approved Had
