merchants bonds, notes what not, which il is
proposed to deliver up Now, there is not one of
our readers who does not know that such pro-
ceeding is violation of the laws of the United
States The revenue law which MIR. Secretary
Walker procured To be passed contemplates just
two things. First that the duties shah be
paid in cash Secondly, il they not paid in
cash, then the goods must be warehoused; that is,
the United States must either have the money, Or
like mortgage, they must have specific hen
This law is positive, and there is escape from it.
Bonds and notes cannot be recepted for money
for they may never be paid. But if the goods on
which that money is due is in the hands of the col
lector, then the Government has specific lien by
which it can collect the money, and save the col
ector.
The sole of Mr.. Collinss difficulties is, that
he has not acted IN conformity TO atD. public Off
must conform To the law of the land. If the
late collector shall produce in money and legal
bonds the whole amount of the Government claim,
he will not have cxonerated himself by law, but he
will show that he is not morally defaulter. He has
committed an error; but if the Government
ceives its dues, hereafter, he may be
charged with no higher offence than violation of
the revenue laws. But yet the account is not

was forthcoming. Ii was discovered, that ON diff

the Commercial bank. The bank was duly mott
