Oeneiml Dm* 8mn on the Tariff. mo. n. To thi Hon. R. M. T. Huntsb:? The "principle of the tariff of 1946" I anderstanl to be an ad valorem duty. I now prxseed to prove it to be unwise, and inconsistent with the obligation* imposed by the constitution. It will not be denied that one ef the chief en da of the federal oonatitutbn was to form a government to be charged with onr intercourse witi foreign na tiona; aor can it be denied th*t maiy questions mac, ariae which nec?ssuily aff ot our pros >erity, and upon which the action of oar government should depend upon the rela'. or 3 whtc'i exist betreea foreign government! and ? are. Than Congress has power not only to "regulite o mmsroe with foreign nations," ao aatopretoc* uur interests an t proaite the common welfare, so !ar as it oan be d .ne by a proper exercise of that pow<*r, out Congrats a so has power to declare war, it it bsoomrs accessary to that parpoae. It mast, th*r?r'ore, be admitted tiat tha power to "repnlate oo jiaterje" is a mnch more oomprehe naive grant than the power to "levy and collect duties." The pa po e t this latter power la to create a revenue, ami it is therefore sab jrditaie aud aux'Uaiy to t!ie po<*er to "regulave com marcs with fortign attloaa." If the power to levy and collect duties be labor u ate aud auxiliary j to the power to regu ate comne'oe, thra 1 the power to " levy and ool.e t duties" should be so administered aa to aid th* proper exeroise of tbe power to "regulate e-'inmerje" with foreign i tatlona. For aa each power la a aeparate and dis tfnet grant, and both are intended to promote the "genual welfare," it m tie duty of Congress to ai m in later each in such manner aa tlat etel may aid tbe purpose for which tte oiher waa grauted. Let na apply thia principle to ad valorem da tes. The conatttutlon give* to Congress power to "coin money and to reg.ua e tue vatuu thereof," and to "fix a standard of weignis aud measures." The purpose was to give * a um and lixea standard of ; value regulating the exchanges aad o>eratioaj of commerce, ao as to protect liie property of indi viduals and determine >.ne relation between dob lor j and creditor. Gold a d silver ate, by the common ; ?oasent of naliooa, tbe atsucard of value, and | henoeali obligations for paymeat oi money are held to bepa>able in go.d or aiiver. Yet it la now admit- I fed that the value of tbe property of commercial | countries bears a relation of tiurty to one of t ielr , currency. It follows, taerefore, that if sue co inner cial nation becomes indebted to another, under an Implied understanding that tne debt is to be paid iu produce or property, and the creditor, instead of receiving produce, denands and reooiras gold and silver, the effbet will be to diminish tae value of tbe property of the debtor nation thirty times the sum of tbe payment thus demanded. It is tne duty of Congress to ao "regulate commerce win foreign nations" as to protect, as far aa uouilble, from such a contraction of oar uurreuoy. will an ad valorMiduty do tMs? It does tae very teveree. Take the case of railroad iron ?say that the price is sixty dollars per ton, the duty will be twen'y dollars. In case of a pressure In tie L mdon market, and iron falls to thirty dollars per tou, taen toe daty is but ten dollars. It n?eds no a'gumant to prove tnat there would be no such redaction in prfoe were it not for S3tne coiitlngency c ea'.lag an extraordinary demand for bullion in tie Baukot Eagltnd, and in a sales, atthisreduceo price, would not be made, were it not for the purpose of Bbip.ing our specU. Tne effect would be that we wool 1 save fifty dollars 1a I the price of a ton of iroa, aud lose twelve honored 1 dollars in the depreciation of the value of property, j I refer you to Mr. Calhiun's speech upon toe jur* rency, win re he admits that tae value of the pro peity of a commercial nation is thirty timas tbe 1 aum of its currency ; and 11 we assume this data to . be correot, I have demonstrated tnat an ad valorem duty is not only unwise, bu'. most uujust, and alter. y inconsistent with tbe duty imposed upon Coagresa , by the "power to regulate c.mmerce with foretga ' cations. The coalition between Mr. Clay and Mr. Adam* adopted ae tbe basis of their party orgauizition a j bgn tariff and internal improvement? a high tariff ? to collect a large surplus rt venae, lev?ed u.;oa tba , tinmtrd, paid for chit fly by 8ju.he:n exp >rts, to be expended by oombln.mons chiefly in ttis North and West. This, the South sa d, was unequal and aa just, and unconatitotio&ai because tt fit uaeuail aaa unjiuit, and texdiug to < orrupt legieUtioa. You wdi, 1 1 am tore, admit tn*t there u a palpable distiacuon between a tariff levied for the pur,>o*? of creating ? | Is ge au'pius rennae, to be expended by Congress on local wm ka of Int ernal improvement, and a tariff li.fcndt'o to so " regula e our commerce with toreiga nations" r- to prevent thosa periodical contrac tions of oar cumn;y which have caused such ruinous de preciatins of the value of property, and cacti and all of which can be traoeJ to the extraordinary d* roand for bullion, and the meMnrea adopted by Ei ropesn baikei a, coercing the shipment of speoie. I ap?nt the greater part of 1B42 and 1843 In Landon my chief purpese being to study for inyaelf to* ope rations of trade between England and the United States. I knew tHat the theory of free trada is, that commerce la a re .ipiocal exchange of the products of labor, and I wished to know way a demand for bullion in the Bank of England necaeaartly produced a ruinous contraction or our oarrency. I became satisfied that, as ours is the weaker part of tae Brit- , hh financial system, a financial cri is in Eugltud, whatever might be its cause, whether produ:*d by overtradiog, a bad harvest, speculations in railroad shares, or Spanish American bonds, or Soath A. me- j ncaa or Mexican mir.ee, was always made to ex i plode bare; and its worst effccis wen transferred to us. 1 will give a few facts by way of illustration. The lefoaal of Congress to re carter toe Btak of the United Btates compelled tie shareholders to accept a chatter from tbe State of Pennsylvania. Tbis made it necessary to withdraw tha branchei located in other Btates; this was mostly done by sales of the assets in tbe branches, watch were chiefly paid for ia the notes of local banks. Had tbe Bank of tbe United States demanded specie, most of tbe local banks would have omptnded; tbe directors of the United S ates Bank therefore made large advances on Bute bonds, end for cotton and tobaooo, and sent Mr. Jaadon witi ths bonds to Londoc, and Biddle aud Humphries to Liverpiol, in charge of the cotton and tobacco. TLe biak advanced some live millions la b'lls npon London, to enable the merchants who hal suffered by the great lire to pay thatr B itisb cre ditors. When Mx. J an Jon saiied for l^ndon, Penn sylvania and Maryland sixes were worth Hlx>?n per cent premium; when he reached Louiou he could not bell at any price, aod I was crediby informed that tbe bank would have been protested had not Mr. Morrism, at the last moment, advanc-d the funds, npon an hypothecation of his best securities at ninety Are per ctnt, to enable Mr. Jaodon to pro tect the credit af his bank. Do jou ask why Mr. Jaud.n could not sell hisS'.ate bend*? I reply that tbe interest cn tae pa otic d< bt <jf tbe s> vera! European governments, payable tha greater part in Loudon, and toe gmt'?r par: af which Is coutrolled by a few bankers, who are tne ageats of these government! for the sale of these ee unities, and also of the principal fundholders to reeeive and re Invect their dividends, amounts to stent tao hutdrtd aod fifty m>llions of dol lars per annum. Tbete banters laid that if Mr. iiiddia was permitted to esuo.ish an agency ia Lon don for the sale cf six aed seven par cen a, in oou Beution with their Eorop tan three per oent?, Mr. iddle could furnish any required amount of Ameii i an six and seven per cent*, and that the inevitable eonrequ nee would have been that many of the holders of European three per cents woull have sold out and puiot-ased American six aid seven par cents. It was, therefore, wi'-h them a matter of ne cessity , sh well for themselves as for their clients, tha monarchical governments of Karope, and these beakers combined to depreciate Ant toaa credit. They saw that this cotud most readily be ?cooupitsh ed by breakkg down the Buk of the United ritatee, and t: ere fore they refused to purchase the Slate bonds held by Mr. Jaudcn. Do you ssk why the bank did not sell cotton and tobacco through their agency at Liverpool, aid thus obtain tbe means of meteng the drafui given to tae merohet U of New York ? 1 will explain: ? Up to taat time tie commerce between the I'niteo B'ates and E 'gland wai conducted caiefly through tbe egen %j of ttree L ondoj boms*, kn >wn as tbe tbiee w.'s. The Am<s icaa merchant t.ough from tbe Biitlsh msiinfac.urer on a long oieiit, and drew a bill upon one of these W s. Th> ?oois were brought >o the Uaited Stains, and bonds a', long dates given far tbe dnti.-e. T--e goods were sold aad A mericia produoe remitted, so that the mar ahsBt wss enabled to plate finds in the hands o bis London corieeponuett ia ampla time to make his oa>mm.ts Tbe British flaanciers saw that Mr. B'dlU coald protect bis credit througo tha sale of tha cotton aad tobacco i eit to Biddle Allsmp iriee, at Liverpool, and they therefore resolved not otly to anninilite oar credit, bat to destroy oar commeroe. What I , am sow sboatto say I btvs from tbe best ant'i >rl ty: Ore of the w.'s, fearlag a moaetary crisis, srote to his American co respondsau tiat he ooali ?ot aocep*. their bills as he bad done. The Governor of tLe B?ak of England called npon him a^d swil that tha bank wisoed to encoarega trade with t'e ' I'niUd Htatee, aad by a pledge of aid in cvse of ne cessity induced W. to rtcaU his lattore. the eonse faecce waa. tbat when tbe tlsse osme W. was aadw acoeptanoe to more than twelve millions of dollars, and, instead of carrying Urn through the cr?is, the Bank of England tafosed to dleoouat any ' bill drawn on accoont of the shipment I An.eriraa produce, aad the nooenineaoe was tbat W., who hod a poetUre oapiW at ? >ra I than two milliona of dollara, became bankrupt, and his brother, who tad retired from bnrinaaa, expend cd even a greater ram la the froltloaa effort to sere him. Now, why did the Bank of England urge W. to aid them In their effort to aend a large que itity of British merchandiae to the United BUiea? and why did the bank refoae to dUeoont bUla drawn on aocoaat of shipments of American produce? Do you not are the motive? The tine hud come when it btcame neoeas?ry for British financier* to so regulate their commerce with the United Htates as to enable them to re<nlste the value of our mutey by oontractisg our our rtcoj . It wa < not e tough for the n to refuae to par chafe State bonds? they a*w that It wm indispensa ble to eei-ail our credit thr ng i our commerce. fo do this it was necessaiy to create a large c ?mm *oial balance agaroat up, and to prctxt their tnrae per cei'ta ft. m tie competition *lth oural* and aevea per certs, it became nejesiary to a> regulate their ccmnm ce wits ua that, Initrad of acting upon long credit* and this Riving ua the aid or their capital, th> y now required ia?o oaymeats 'or their ui.aufac turea *h''et they uacd their credit In the pntchtae of i cor pto.'uoe. .. ? .

What wculd ba the condition or Engl ml and other European nations, If they sere compelled to give seven per cent for money '< How long would Eng land continue 'be war with Russia if consuls were depreciated to forty ? Do rot suppose that I intend to charge that the warfa-e on our credit, or the oontrasUon of our cur rency by the exportation of our specie, la dooe wan- , toulv for the purpuse of doing us injury. What I do obarge ia that such warfare is an indispensable part of the British financial system, and will o.ntiuue to be so as long as oar oommeroe, as regulated bv Congress, furnishes to the Bank of Eagland the surest and che ??f means of recruiting ner bullion. What I would iuipiees upon you and upon Congress Is, that as England has reorganized her system of eummerce so as to increase the facllltlei by whtih i the Bank of England can tranafor our bullion from Wall ttrcet to Lond <n, and inasmuch ae the export of our specie diminishes the value of our pro >erty In the ratio of thirty to one ot the sum of the diminu tion of our cnrrency , which must neo -ssartly be mnoh more than the sum of the specie exported, we lose, by the contraction ot ihe currency, and conaequeot iimimtlon of the value of onr prop irty, much more than the benefit which accrues from any reduction in the price of foreign merchandise, and It ia there - lore the duty of Congress to protect us, not agatnat the cheap labor of Europe, but against the measures which foreigh bankers have adopte *, by which they can create an expansion or contraction of our enr iency at will. How can Congress do thU ? I reo'y, by so regnlatlng onr commerce with foreign naMons as to regulate the value of monej. Th# power Is expressly granted, aud the duty is imperative. Let it not be said that England is oar best cm tetter, and that commerce and exchanges Will regu late themselves, or that, a? we are the grestsrt cou ?umeis of Bnti-h merchandise, England i? int greet ed in prrtu .ting onr prosperity. Let me ask jou to look to ir?l?nu. to India, aad to Portugal. Are not Ireland, India and Portugal consumers of Britina merchandise? And who does aot knur th.it the wealth ai.d lesouroes ot eao'i have bee a exhiueteJ by the tpe ration of Biitlsh com tierce. Do ycu not sae that the real is?ui ot the pru3ent age Is between the monarchies of Europe and their a\stem of taxation, represented by their funded debt, and our rejinbdcau tJrm of govirnra-i', and cur system of progress, repiesented by our nl'rovl# as the b&sls oi financial aad comnercUl credit ? Do you not see that the crises of 1840 anl 18i4 are 1 attributable to the stme cause? In 1840 the coinpe- 1 i tltlon was between three per cent cons >U and six per tent. Stale bonds.

And what aasnranos have youth ?t if r<fce cao haiuble the pride of R'issia, she will not tjea cieate combinauons to arrest our progress, ana thus destroy that competition for the trade of India which onr possession of California necesearily cnatei ? I>o von ask for pro >fs that sad is her pariiose ? Loth at the late Insolent Interference of the British and French agents at St. Domingo.
