The uti ity of such an tnvestitration must It' rKx to all. as the spiiit of tl ft and KKh section of the cone which pro rides that no state shall 41 emit bills ! of credit;" and that nothing but and silver is a legal tender merit of debts, has been in tl ion of many, too lone permitVd tol slumber ; for everv body knows that these bills of credit (bank notes) nitisy j drive the gold and silver out of Circulation, and leave nohting else but paper to tender in payment. When th local bank pap r i?sues are put a Stop to, specie will then, and not till then, be sufficient for the ordinary purposes of trade. These aie our sentiments, without pretending to anticipate what the honorable secretary's may be. .V. RegUter. From the Pittsburgh Gazettt . It has become a common vi mongst a certain clus of anti-m lecturers, that commerce atid ml iacturcs ought to be let alone, and tl if the latter cannot flourish without governmental aid they ought not to be touched until our population becomes as dense as it is in Europe. Not to attempt to establish the impolicy of thc position about the want ol population, would not any one, ignorant i i our laws, presume from these threadbare assertions, that commerce Mas actually a plant ol volunteer growth amongst us, and that gcvurnw 1 1 n ver interfered to restore a defective oi withering branch. u But mark hoe a plain tale will set them down " App ropriations for the exclusive b( t. tit ot commerce b:m cv ' '' prominent features of the liUtit i ndw l of our count y. i V i; i Vl the attention ol oui readers toV.- w ol these appropriations, and w e doubl not the inference which must be drawn.

we have not before us at this moment a copy of the nmoiaenu vx pemfiturts, we will confine .uiielvcs to those we have, and let these l,,rm a standard. For the year 18 f7, f instance, the expendi urcs relatiie to this subject, stood as fellows : For Light Houses, S7

nanoc Hospital, Custom Houses, Foreign Intercourse, Contingent ditto, Relief of Seamen, Bounty on Fish, fcc. 187,423 To this if we add thc expenditure for a navy, winch in some respects may be viewed as a commercial creatine, 4 900,290 It will amount for 1817, to 4,900,290 Suppose one half of thc Navy to be placed to the account of glory, 2.74.1,856 It would have 2,74;,856 T bus the case stands for the year 1817, a year of peace, when the Navy received by no means, any thing like uncommon attention. W e do not pretend to say that there is anv thing improper in this state of commcrcial patronage; wc highly approve of it; our object is merely to iake Erora the merchant thc spui ious crecit ol succeeding by the intrinsic aptness of commerce tor the genius ot the American people and govern ment, acreoit by no means merited ; if manufacturers had been so eariy, so long, so much cherished, it might have been, that an equal revenue would now have been derived fiom ibis source, much more compatible with our happiness and national pfOBpei itv . Be sides the general expenditures and yearly appropriations which form SO prominent a part of the peii.. lieal duty of our legislators and c iv il ofliC ei s, a burst of partiality occasionally occuis which puts the question be -ond a doubt In the ear 1813, the mere bants bonds given i0 the United States for certain fines and penalties wt re entirely remitted to thc amount ot 12,ex,0,000 dollars, and thev were remitted taw after the merchandize was sold to thc retaiierand iJu amount added to the cost of the goods ; this circumstance was also given bv the importer as a leason for the high pn. ces of the articles! Numer. us instances could be given of the individuals who bf.jStt:j of having cleared large fotunes by this remission alone, a ithout the aid of the usual ai d leiMii. mate profit on their trade ! Here then was an act of the most rvaln-n mvounteism the ictailers had been taxd by the merchants to the full amount of these fines ; thc retallera in turn, in their usual way, liatl actually levied the same sum on the people at large, with an additional lem of 35 per Cent proit; the importers then could have lost nothing -the people had paid the full amount due to the government, over and bovetlM st ot merchandize in the usual way of trade Thc act can then be only viewed in the light ol a doi aikm to met chants for the encourage nitnt ol" commerce. Again, the credit allowed at the Custom House on the duties accruing htm many irtfclee? n iy be vaj,, actually to fuu.ish thc n.t irV I.. .. . i. a capita!. T , r instance, on salt from the W est Ira ies, ti e credit is nine months -on wines it is twelve cn ill u lodi imported from Europe, other tl an salt and teas, one third of the tic is required in 8 months r i.c I.irdin U and enc third in llmMH . . on all goods, except wines, ?at, 9rA u u from anyplace excent Kumr mm me m csi nicies, one half in 6 rnentne-esie morth in 9, and one fourth in 12 months and on ihcle of tea, a credit of 2 months is given ; tnua allowing the merchant time to sell tiic article receive the snsotmt with the additiesvol tt.e nam tssessed for doiies, end to n ake a second aial in me cases a third voyage before he is ceiled tiK)n by the collector to pay his bondl No wonder out tivj At iiriibrs no aqpttet we ire bundated to ruin with Brit ! nmricks ! We are rot influenced I y sm pecnhai hcatsSty So rwn merer, but as we onceive much of our mbi rrnaa n em prcs eeds lion, the ecluaiv tention on thf pan of our goverrm.i nt to this pursuit, we deem Hi I j . ......v. .viuuu mot a, -, t i 1 is idle to ssy that ur goverrm i t draws an immn se revenue from tl it M.ntM ; it is true thin I a bcn the case but if it is found that great national distress fiows fu,m it. ih
