Mr.. JOHNSON of MARYLAND then submitted the fol,

Ordered, That a select committee of nine be appoint

" MESSAGE.
We suppose the surprise expressed by the Nationa
Intelligencer at that part Of the Presidents message
which relates TO the Tariff, is pretty common to all wht
know any thing of his past opinions on this SUBJECT. q
Virginia Republican, standing hitherto on the extreme
8 verge of opposition to a protective tariff, IT was hardlI
! TO be expected-even after he had approved Of the Dis
tribution B%ill-would ecommend the adoption OF TIT
a principle of laying discriminating duties, with a view
Of projecting capitalists, by granting bountes through
q n monopoly. To this extent, however, his Language
t appears to US TO 60. After maintaining the right OF tn
I Government to discriminate in laying duties on lmpor
n ~tations, the President says: $50, also, the Government
e may be justified in so discriminating, by reference y
n OlHpT COHSlUtTdllOuo VI ooAhCoti PohSy
: our manufactures. So long rs the duties shall be lar
with distinct reference to the wants OF the Treasury
: no well founded objection can exist against them.
e Here discrimination in the duties laid TO give bount
e to manufacturing interests is recommended, and tn
e old fallacy is affirmed, that duties can be laid for reve
nue. and protection at the same time.
e We do not deny the right or the policy oil the Go
$ vcrnment discriminating on the duties laid on imports
: when their object is revenue. Undoubtedly, one com
modify can often bear higher taxation, and thereby pro
f duce more revenue than another; but this can general
: ly only be affirmed of commodities not produced II
e this country. Ifan article is manufactured here,
!, duty honestly laid for revenue on a similar article pro
e duced abroad, for revenue, must be laid so low as t
II continue and encourage the Importation Of the iorelg
d article; for SO soon as the importation of the forelg
article ceases to any extent, to that extent the dut
n ceases, and revenue is, OF course, impaired. Renee
!, protection to our manufactures, to any degree, by i'm
h port duties, must necessarily be at the expense of re
venue, and at the same time the expense OF the con
sumers. The object of duties laid for protection, is t
i exclude the foreign commodity on which the duty
r laid and revenue is dependent. The object of dutle
