A navy i an expensive force, ami is only formidable when manned with regular bred sailors. In our case, both of thci -e depend on commerce, ('omrnerce is mdispcii-ihlc to firm a eouimerci.il marine, ami that to f'.rm a naval marine; while commerce is with us, if this bill should pa, the only source of revenue. A flourishing commerce is, then, in every respect, the b.iis of our naval pott er ; and to cripple coiiimeree is to ciij. pie that power to paralyze the right arm of our defence. Uut the imposition ot onerous ilu'ies 011 commerce is ihe most certain way to cripple it. Hence this ete-t abb- and mischievous mea-ure, which surrenders the only other source of revenue and throws the whole but. leu of supporting the ioveriiuient exclusiv. ly on commeice, aims a deadly blow at the vita! of our power. The fatal -licet ot high duties 0,1 commerce, is no longer a matter tif sjM-culalion. The country haspised recently through two periods one of protective tardlsand i high dotes; and the other of ;i rduct oil of duties ; and we Lave the fleets of each lu our ol icia tabes, . , , , "...
