"Among the numerous causes Of con-
graduation. the CONDITION Of our imp0sl
revenue deEeTyes special mention. mas
much as il Promises the means Of exIin.
gushing tho public debt sooner than was
anticipated. and furnishes q strong illus
traIIon Of the practical effects Of the pre-.
sen, tariff upon our commercial inter-
eSis.
"Ths object Of the tariff is objected
TO by some ~ unconstitutional; and il is
considered by almost MI as defective in
many Of its parts. :-a.t g.. !
"The power 10 impose duties on i'm
ports originally belonged to the several
States. The right TO adjust those duties,
with view To the encouragement OF the
domestic branches Of industry, is SO com.
plelely incidental 10 that power, that il is
difficult TO suppose tho existence &c the
one without tho other. The States have
delegated their whole authority over i'm.
ports TO the General Government, with
out limitation or restriction, saving The
very inconsidcrable reservation relating
to their inspection lave. This authority
having Inns entirely passed from the
States. tive right 10 exercise il for tho pur-
pose Of protection does not exist in them
and consequently, il il be not possessed by
the General Government, II must be ex
ii nS ne , oar Rs Sisi sEs!s S~ S4Hd My:
and 10 counleracl the most selfish and dc.
slructive policy which might be adopted
by foreign nations. This surely cannot
be The case. This indispensable power,
thus surrendered by the States. must DO
| within Tho scope Of the authority on the
subject, expressly delegated TO Congress.
I'm this conclusion am confirmed as
we'll by the opinions Of Presidents Wash
{ ington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe,
, who have each repeatedly recommended
, The exercise Of this right under tho Con.
, s,itu,ion, as by the uniform practice o.
Congress, the continued acqniescence o.
: the States, and the general understanding
OF the people. 81, .....-.... :
!. aThat our deliberations on this Inter
: estiug subject should be uninfluenced bl
: those partisan conflicts that arc inclden
= 10 free Institutions, is the fervent wish
II nv heart. To make this great question
n which unhappily so much divides and ex
l. cites the public mind, subservient 10 th
20 short-siph,ed views Of faction, must de
D sttoy all hope Of settling it satisfactorily
to tho grea, body Of the people, and 70
the general interest. | cannot, therefore
in taking leave Of the subject, too ea1
Of neslly, for my own feelings or the con
Ofl mon good, wan you against the blighlin
o. consequences Of such a course"

10 1.-THE confidence with which the 9

no. be injurious TO those interests, is deem
