From The N. Y Amnrienn


one word as to the argument of Mr. Berfien in
tended to prove that the laws of Congress imposing
duties are so framed to render it impossible 10
BRING the question of their constitutionaIty before
She Supreme Court; and that therefore, ssan act in
ats erect and oPeration subversvc of the prnciplcs
or the Constitution may, its face, be superior to
all just exception on that ground" If we are not
mistaken there is conclusive reply to this allega
ton, IN the fact, that the first Ial1 for Iavnp and
collecting duties,-the law 1885, which has never
been repealed,-whch is the basis of our whole
Revenue System,---of which all subsequent laws re
speeding the Tariff, have been expressly acts in
amendment; and which, therefore, subsists in full
force, except so far as its details have been modi
ned by those acts in amendment, has this pre-
amble:-"Whereas it is necessary for the sun
port OF Government, for the discharge of the
debts of the United States and the enconrape
ment and protection Of manufactures, that duties
be LEVIED on goods, and merchandise i'm
Professionalism, &c" Here is a contemporancous
assertion by the trainers of the Constitution itself
OF the right and of the necessity under it, to Law
outles Tor the encouragement of manufactures
Inc preamble, containing this assertion is in fair
construction OF law, the preamble, not only of
the original act, but of all acts amondatory of it.
Tor they constitute one whole. Under this preamble
then winch so directly asserts the right to lew du
ties tor the protection of manufactures case can
be made, and submitted 10 tile Supreme Court and
thus, tile whole question be tested by tribunal in
which, IN this part of the country happily. mir

contrary Notwithstanding all parties have entire

tshed with ITS acts and doings, we certainly have
no cause OF complaint. We had intended In IL, tbe
ADDRESS pass without comment and we do not now
i'ehd TO attempt an answer to its reasonincr or
ioe'S' comparing it with what we miplt reosona
o'v nave expected from SO highly respectable 4 BODY
We cannot but express surprise that its sopb;srs
should have been so ransparently yelled. and tlst
SONIC o. It's propositions should have been so bold
ana startling, and so solfevdcnlly inconclusive-
we doubted at first whether it could have emnnatcd
from the pen of Mr.. Bcrricn, and we thoupht we
could perceive IN 1t the finger of very distinguish
ou dscoverer OF the unconstItuiionalitv of the In

~ very unfortunate, that its beginning should be
