DiCKLNSON'S REPOR I . The committee to whom was referred so much of the President! Message 69 respects tho disposition of the surplus funds of the United Slates, after vur public debt shall be extinguished, beg leave to report. That, from an examination of the late annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the state of our finances, they find that, with so much of our present revenue as may be applied to the discharge of oiir public debt the whole may he extinguished in the year 1354. 1 his, unltss, there should be a reduction ol the revenue, would leave a surplus ol more than ten millions of dollars a year in our Treasury beyond what may be wanted fcr the current services of the government ; and probably much more than half that amount, after all the reductions that arc contemplated, or that will be adopted, upon teas, coffee, cocoa, wines and ether articles upon which the situation of the country requires there should be a redaction of the duties. That there will be a large surplus of revenue, after the payment of our debt no one can doubt, who has been attentive to the operations of our government for the last ten years ; nor will any one doubt that there ought to be a surplus, though to a less amount, to meet contingencies connected with our national defence, not foreseen, but against which the govern nent should always be provided. The future surplus fund, whether it is to be crs'to' small, is looked to with intense in terest by the people of the United States ; and the proper disposition of it

must ba attended with, much difficulty

but it is a difficulty which Congress is! bound to meet and obviate as far as practicable. The apportionment of these funds, a mong the several states, accoring to the ratio of direct taxation, is the nearest practicable approach to just distribution, tvhile the application of them to the making of roads and nanals by the General Government, must, in its operation, be unequal, partial, and unjust. The most irequent objection to the proposed distribution among the states, is, that it is an unnecessary to raise money from the people, to be restored to them, through the states, for the purpose of internal improvement, education, or any other object. That it would be better, that money for such purposes should be raised by state taxes. This objection, so easi

ly made, is satisfactory to those only who

do not trivc themselves the trouble of

examining? the resources of revenue

which belong to the United States, re spectivcly.

When our Federal Constitution was

formed, we had, besides the usual ex penses of supporting our government

a heavy public debt to pay; to make provision for pensioning the invalid officers

and soldiers of the revolution; put our country in a situation for defence, in anticipation of future wars; to erect fortifications; procure armaments; and what was of more importance, to build a navy. It was evident that these objects would, for many years, require the entire revenue of the General Government, while the states, with the very limited sources of revenue left them by

ihe Constitution, could do but little more

than support their respective govern

ments. It was, therefore, foreseen, that

ie plans of internal improvement by

roads and canals could not he carried to

a great extent, until the public debt shall

extinguished, and the other expendi tures mentioned be considerably redu

red. At the same time, it was foreseen ;hat such a state of things would take

place after the lapse ol i few years, and

that a portion cf the revenues within the

6cte control of the General Government

Touh be applied to the purpose of educai n and internal improvement, either thr- Ji the agency of the General Gov cm .",r.t or of the state governments All revenues arising from commerce are under the control of the General Govcrr.uKrt, by direct provision of the Constitution, and those cases, with a few exception, ari beyond the reach of the state-; fc no state can l3y excises upon the pr ducts of her agriculture or mar.-ufactu-.es without driving the capital inTeste r -ich agriculture or manufar-

1 - -urcs into the neighboring states. Ex ciscs, therefore, as well as imposts, are vested in tht United States. Direct taxes aloae arc left to the states; and over these tne United States have concurrent control In many of the states, the governments are supported by a land tax. But the legislatures cf such states would not venture to raise money, except for

of revenue, either by the distribution of our surplus funds among them, or by an application of those funds to the accomplishment of their purposes, by the agency of the General Government-, for it will not be believed by the people of the United States, that our Federal Convention deliberately adopted a scheme of government, by which the great sources of our revenue, when not wanted for the payment or our debt or the defence of our country, should be locked up and rendered inefficient, while the great in tcrcsis of the states loudly call for their application. The experience of the last four years leaves no doubt that our surplus funds will, to a considerable extent be devoted to objects of internal improvement, either through the direct agency of the General Government, or that of the regpec tivc states. The manner in which this b to be done, is a subject ct deeper interest to the Union than any other one that has attracted the attention of Ccn

gross. To this subject the President cf

the United States has thought tt his duty

to invite the immediate attention of Con

gress. This he has done in the Mes f I. j-i . i r i

gage oi ine em or uecemoer last, in

which he says: "After the extinction of

the public dept, it is not probable that

any adjustment of the tariff, upon prin

ciplcs satisfactory to the people of the

union, win. until a remote period, if ever, leave the Government without a considerable surplus in the Treasury, be

yond what may be required for its cur

rent service: as, then, the period ap

proaches when the application of the revenue to the payment cf the debt, will cease, the disposition of the surplus will

present an object for the serious delibe

ration of Congress; and it may be for

tunate for the country that it is yet to

be decided. Considered in connexion

with the difficulties which have hitherto attended appropriations for purposes of internal improvement; and with those

which this experience tells us will certainly arise, whenever power ever such subjects may be exercised by the general government, it is hoped it may lead

to the adoption of some plan, which will

reconcile the diversified interests of the states, and strengthen the bonds which unite them. Every member of the Uni on, in peace and in war, will be benefitted by the improvement of inland navigation and the construction of highways in the several states. Let us then en deavour to attain this benefit in a mode which will be satisfactory to all. That hitherto adopted has, by many of our lellow citizens, been deprecated as an

inlraction of the Constitution, while by others it has been viewed as inexpedient All feel that it has been employed at the expense of harmony in the legislative council.-To avoid those evils, it appears to me that the most safe, iust, and

lcderal disposition, which could be made

of the surplus revenue would be the

apportionment of it among the states,

according to their ratio of renresenta-

lion."

In accordance with th.a view of the

subject, a majority of the committee 1 . ? A . 1 1
