AID DUTJES.

Remarks of Henry Clay, in the United States

What are the other principles of the act ?
Compromise act.) First, there is the principle
that a fixed advalorem duty shall prevail and be
in force at all times. For One, | am willing to
abide by that principle. There are certain vague
notions atioat as TO The utility and necessity of
specific duties and Determinations, which ara
persuaded arise from a want of a right under.
standing Of the subject. We have had advalorem
principle practically in force ever since the COM
promise act was passed and there has been no
difficulty in administering the duties of the treasu-
Ty on that principle.
Compare the system of specific and the adj
yalorem system of duties, and | maintain that the
latter is justly entitled TO the preference. The
one principle declares that the duty shall be paid
upon the real value of The article taxed the
specific principle imposes an equal duty on arli-

THE FRENCH

The last election in France has added great
strength to Nj. Guizot, the present Minister de
Jacfo, and by the next steam ship we will be en-
abled to Judge if he has abandoned his Quixotic
Balance Of American power" system, or not.
We are inclined TO believe, that Frenchman, will
give this country, a great deal of trouble. He does
not like us. and will throw every obstacle in our
way 10 defeat the accomplishment Of a Just and
honorable peace with Mexico. The last election
of members of the Chamber of Deputies having
given him a clear majority of one hundred, he
will not fail using his power wherever he thinks
it will have the most effect. We wish the
"Rodin " of France no personal i'll, but it would
afford US great pleasure to hear that he was hurl-
ed from political power. as we are convinced that
in all France a capable man could not be found
who has so much at heart the desire of injuriug
this country. The people are with us, and the
only way he dare iajure us, is, by secret diploma
cy and chicanery. and having the command of a
large secret service fund he will not fail using it
freely in Mexico 10 our disadvantage.
