without offence to any party, 1t is not drawn with
remarkable care either for Revenue or n just dis
tribution of mposts. 1t seems strange, but we
must admit the fact, that the appearance OF the
measure in this House with prospect OF its passage
has struck the country with surprise, do not de-

country is greatly surprised at any probability
that this measure should have am prospects OF sue

justify immediate proceeding. There is no man
within hearing of ms voice who will say that the

without as with this measure. | SHALL therefore
at the close Of my remarks, move to postpone tins
measure till next Session.
There cannot be any increase OF revenue by this
bill There cannot be an increase OF revenue by
augmentation OF imports But we are told that we
