, lixtmct from Mr. Teuton's remarks, in the tsenat? ctd.e Undcd Stt;s, cn the Silt Duty. Tlte gentleman from .New Jersey Mr. DickerscmJ was oppesed to the repeal of the; tax on alum salt, because he believed it would rdllct the manu-

in the United States, .Mr. D. appealed to the Senate to these membejs who looked to the relit f of the people from a part of their burthens he ealkd their attention to the doctrine auva? cod bv that gentleman, and asked them to makei: application to ether articles, and halow it out to. its legitimate consequences, it would prevent the re peal f any taxes. Worsted stuff goods an article of such general wear, and so essentia! to tho jhoe manuf;eture for women and children, might be kept tax-d, although we madeno such gcoJs, Uit because tlie free importation of them might efk-et the .Voa!en inaiiufactiire. The mmuidctuiers of leather nvght object also, because the more prunePo and stun shoes worn, the less the demand tor leather shoes. Lven the reduction on tea mheht be resisted, because iim freo me of tea might lessen the consumption of milk and apple pies, and tliereby di mirash the value o(coxy and oxen, and orchards, lie, Mr. Ih had fixed his eye on this monstrous doctrine, and wished its hirst approaches to be marked by the Senate. lie wished to know if the Senator from New Jersey proposed to compel people to ue i"mpro)cr and unsuitable thing-, by way ofsubsti tute for a proper and suitable one, which' was taxed out oi the country, lie Mr. R. had a bill to bring in for reducing the duty on Indian blankets the best blanket in the wot Id and indispensable to the Indian trade; was that bill to be resisted, and a superior blank et the bo?t and cheapest, if the duty was eff, that ever the laboring classes beheld to be taxed out of the country to make room for a base substitute'; A great sensibility was manifested for the interest of the manufacturers : but ! taere are otaer interests in the country waicn a;so reserves coasueration. There was the agticuKural and com e mereial intcrrsis bes'des the manufactuihg j all great interests; all to be considered by the man w ho was entrusted 10 make laws for the nation; and no one to be sacrificed to the others. They were each of thr-m important, but they had their degree of importance. g. riculture ranked first because it furnished the mean? cf subsistence for man find beast, and elements of employment to the other two 5 manufactures came nc?:t, because they fashioned and piepared th.e products of agriculture for the iho, convenience and oroament of n . - ; , '-iv'lf,"lu tr.e super iUittes o uiherent counti'ei . i-o.iiU.L3; i.i:i;; yi 1 it. . nir n .vhan, .... , rr num:ui race, came third.

S hall we be compelled again to nay CO cents to the Fed e ml Government (foV there is a proposition to raise the salt tax to the old federal standard of '93.) far the privilege of buying C cents worth of salt? Pfas there ever, since taxation commenced, a more odious tax than these upon salt? One which bears more unequally upon the rich and the poor ? One which went so completely to prevent the use of a prime necessary of life? The gentleman from New .Jersey (Mr. DIckersom) objects to the Finance Committee: he wards the bill to go to the Man ufictu ling Committee: Well, 1 will compromise with him. 1 will agree to a select committee with, power to ?eed far witnesses, and swear loem, and report the taidu ce to the Semite, ibis is the way they did in the Critish Pailinmcnt: this' is the v.Tny they blew up th.e salt tax there. x i.i.i e. na .U.Uli.or ViCW Ot tr.U fr;v ! w men must not be otrdtte.h Eefor ld0 thv-re was a drawback on exported beet and pork, as wtdi a3 on cpor cd fish, to reimburse t!;e duty on used in curing thre provisions.

Ii would not do to argue that tie1 reduction of the duty had it, creased 'the piice id the foreign articles; that ai gument woeld cut up the protecting m stem. The fact was the; tilect of raising or reducing duties could not be regular at-first. Adventitious circumstance's may control it. When the duty on lead was raised to three cents a pound in 1C :d, the pricei of lead on the Upper M's-assippi fell to one and nhalfcenti. Excessive produe iun produced that 1 ifecf.
