of the Constitution limiting and qualifying
the enormous Executive power, and espc-

in The two Houses OF Congress competent
to the passage of wise and salutary laws,

and silver laeo embroidery; laccs Of SIX,
thread, or cotton aud uIl articles compos.
cd wholly or chiefly Of gold and silver:

The amendment was opposed by Mr.
Calhoun, Mr.. Wright, Mr.. Smith OF Con.
Mr.. Woodbury., and Mr.. King, on The
ground that j, would raise the duty on all
these articles to 20 per cent ead as they
were Of great value and little bulk. and
could be introduced with great facility,
smuggling would be the consequence. A
duty Of 10, or even per cent. il was ar
gued, would producc a larger revenue.
Mr.. Clay of Ky. Advocated the arneial-
meni. lie had, he said, been wpiied on
~ committee of very inieIligcni.persoss,
representing that particular interest. who
had urged upon him the imposition Of
duly OF 20 per cent. He told those gentle
men they would be cheated, and the reye.
nue. cheated, BY the efforts that would be
made TO smuggle those articles in TO avoid
so high a duty. Thoy answered tina, they
knew there was smuggling, but they also
knew all the importers Of those articles,
and they meant 10 establish a System that
would guard agains. smuggling BY bring-
Ing the perpetrators TO punishment. Tho
committee considered there would be very
little done in that business any how and
as they were articles OF luxury, they
though, j, better 10 prevent any dissaiis.
faction which might arise from placing
less amount Of duty on these afticlcs than
on accessories In a matter Ike this
general satisfaction wss worth the loss OF
a little revenue. For the sake lisen Of
their friends ia Pennsylvania OF elsewhere,
and in deieTeDce to that feeling, he wnuid
like the amendment 70 bc retained. He
would ask ihe yeas and uaxs on the pso-
position.
