consideration. A brief notice ot these ob

jections here, w ill not the if lore, 1 trust, be regarded as out of place. They rest, as far as they have come to my know "edge, on the loll -wing grounds: 1st An objection to the ratio of distribu lion: 'Jd. An apprehension that the existence of such a regulation would produce

improvident and oppies-ive taxation to raise the lutals for distribution: 3d. That the mode proposed would lead to the construction of woiks of i I'-cal nature, to the ex. lu-iou cfsuch as are general ; and, lat, that it would create an injuiiousand discreditable depentlance, on the part of Mate Governrrents upon the Fe. eral power.

The ratio of lepreseutation pre--,eu!ed it-elf to my mind, and it still does, as one of obvious equity, because of its being the ratio of contribution, whether the funds to be distributed be derived from the customs or from direct taxation il does not loliow, however, that is adop lion is indispensable to the establishment . .i 1 T I . , i

one ground. Itrra,rt, in the judgment of those whose right it is to fix it, it be deemed politic and just to give it that character, have regard losevml. In my first message, I slated it to be mv opinion that " it is not probable thu' any adjustment of the tai dt upon pi inciples satisfactory to the peonU- of the Union, will, until a remote period, il ever, leave the Government without a considerable

there be no such tu:nl, its adoption will,

in mv opinion, work no injury to any inter

In respect to the lat objection, its probable effect under the dignity and independence of the State Gov triimetd.s, it app ears to me only necsary to s. ate the case as it is, and as it would be it the measure ptoposed were adoped, to show that the operation is most likely to be the

se of that which the objection

very revei supposes.

that every evil attendant upon its op elation is not necessarily indicative ot a b id organization, but may nioceed from temporary causes, yet the habitual presence, or even single instance of evils which can be clearly traced to an organic defect, will not, 1 trust, be overlooked through a. too scrupulous venerati. n for the tvork of their ancestors. The Constitution was nn experiment committed to the viitue and intelligence of the great mass of our countrymen, in whose ranks the framers ot it themselves were to perform the part of patriotic observation and sciutiny; ami it they have passed from the stage of existence with an increased confidence in its. general adaptation to our condition, we should learn from auth"iity mj higu the
