The government, under which = IS our
hapniness 10 live, owes its eSistonf to tao
spirit Of coorr1promise which prevalted a.
mong III DEMONSTRATING and dtscordnnt
%opinions could only have been reconc'led
by thai noble spirit OF patriotism, which
prompted Cancellation, and resulted IN haf.
monv. IN the same spirit the compromise
bill, as it il commonly called. Was adopted
nj the session of 1899. While the people
of no portion Of the Union will ever hos'-
tato 10 pay all necessary taxes tor tn" s''p-
nor. of government, yet m innate rcp1c.
nance exists, to the imposition of burthens
not really necessary Tor that OBJECT. IN
imposing duties. however, Tor the purposes
of revenue, a right to discriminate as to
the articles on which the duty shall he
laid, as we'll az tho amount, necessarily
and most properly sts.-Otherw'se the
Government would be placed in the con-
dition of having to levy the SAME duties
upon all articles, the productive, as well
rs the unproiuctive. The slightest duty
upon some might havcsthe effect OF caus-
ing their importation to cease, whereas
entering exclusively into the con-
sumption Of the country, might besr the
heaviest, without any sensible d'minution
in the amount imported. So also the TO
vernment may be justified in so discr'm'r
mating. by reference to other consldera-
tons Of domestic policy connected with
our manufactures. So long as the duties
shall be laid with distinct reference to the
wants Of the Treasury, no well founded
objection can exist against them. II
might be esteemed desirable that no such
augmentation of tho taxes Should take
place as would have the effect OF annulling
the land proceeds distribution act OF the
last session, which act is declared to be
inopcratiyc the moment the duties are H.
beoond - per cent, the maximum
rate, established BY the Compromise net.
Some Of The provisions Of the Compromise
act. which Will go into effect on the aoth
day of June next, may, however, be found
exceedingly announcement in practice IN
der any regulations that Congress may
adopt. I refer more particularly 10 that
to the home valuation.
4 difference in value Of the same artl-
Giles TO some extent. will, necessarily, cxis!
at different ports-but that Is altogether
insignificant, when compared with the con-
flicts in valuation. which are likely to arise,
from the differences Of opinion among the
appraisers of merchandise. In many in.
stances the estimates Of value must be cen
and thus as many different rates
of value may be established as there are
appraisers. These differences in valua-
ton may also be increased by the lnclma-
ton, which, without the slightest itnputa-
ton on their honesty, may arise on the
part of the appraisers in favor of their re-
ports of entry. l recommend
this whole subject to the consideration of
