On Friday, Mr. Dickerson, from the
committee on rttanufttctures in the Senate,
made a report in part on the subjects to it
referred, in cnrinexiort with the resolution
of Mr. Clay, Mr. Dickerson explained
the reasons which had operated in the
minds of the cornirrittce, for not matting -.t
full report. When the bill accompanying
the report ltad been read a first and second
time, Mr. Dickerson moved that the re-
port rtnd bill be printed.
Mr. Hayue thereupon rose, and uric;-ed
"P0" ‘he WIN”. bill, and coriimittett of
ntarttrfacttrres, a very severe and eloquent
dt.-itunciation, insisting that this partial re-
port h.td not been expected by the St.-irate,
nor did it in any degree heal the objec-
tions to the original iesolu.i_on of the serra-
tor trom Kentucky. Indeed, Mr. Hayne
expressly contended that the report ofthe
comniittre was designed and calculated to
exempt certain luxuries from taxation, and
to keep up the l resent rate of duties upon
articles of primenccessiiy; in other word,-
reluasing frotit taxation the luxnrie, 01 me
rich, and sealing the system oftaxatron up-
on articles of indispensable consumption
by the poor. ,
MIR Clay replied tvitlr unusual elorprence
l9~»MT-_ Hayne, and fully expressed, for
one, his determination that the policy of
P'°l°Cl|0|l should not, tvithhis consent, be
abandoned. - ‘
