V E T 0
of the Ifrevisional 'fi‘.at:'iff' Bill.
To the House of Reprcsenlal1'i:cs_: _
I return the bill which originated In the
House of Representatives, entitled “An act
to extend for a limited period the present
laws for laying and Colletlllfg d_““eS 0“ ml‘
ports,”witli the following objections .
It suspends, in other words, abrogates for
the time, the provsion of the act of 1833,
commonly called the ‘compromise act.’ The
only ground on which this departure from
theisolemn adjustment ofa great and agita-
ting question seems to have been regarded
as expedient is. the alleged necessity ofestab-
lishing legislative enactments rules and reg-
ulations for assessing the duties to be levied
on imports, alter the 30th June, according to
the home valuation ; and yet the bill express-
ly provides that ‘it before the lst of August
there be no further legislation upon the sub-
ject, the laws for laying and collecting duties
shall be the same as though this act had not
been passed.’ In other words, that the act
of 1833, imperfect as it is considered, shall
in that case continue to be, and to he execu-
ted uudcr such rules and regulations as pre-
vious statutes had prescribed, or had enabled
the Executive Department to prescribe for
that purpose, leaving the supposed chasm in
the revenue laws as just it was before.
Iain certainly far from being disposed to
deny that additional legislation upon the
subject is very desirable; on the contrary,
the nccv:-3.:i¢ioo no uvoll ac the diff-I--altico of
establishing uniformity in the appraisements
to be made in conformity with the true inten-
tion of that act was brought to the notibe 0!
Congress in my iuessrige to Congress at
the opening ofthe present session. But how-
ever sensible I may be ofthe embarrassments
to which the Executive in the absence ofall
aid from the superior wisdom the Legislature
will be liable, in the enforcement ofthe exis-
ting laws, I have not, with the sincerest wish
to acquiesce in its expressed will, been able
to pursuade myself that the exigency tin
the occasion was so great as to _l|1Stll_V
me in signing the bill in question.
with my present views of its character and
effects. The existing laws as I am advised
are sufficient to authorize and enable the
collecting officers under the directions ol
the Secretary ofthe Treasury, to levy the
duties imposed by the act of I533-
That act was passed under peculiar cir
cumstances, to which it is not nescessary
that I should do more than barely allude.
Whatever may be in theory. its character I
have always regarded as importing the high
est moral obligation. It has now existed for
nine years unchanged in any essential pa r-
ticular, with as general acquiescence, it is
believed of the whole country, as that coun-
try has ever manifested for any of her wisely
established institutions. It has t'nSl1|’9Cl t0
it the repose which always flows from timely
wise, and moderate coiinsels—a repose the
more striking because of the long and anury
agitations which proceeded it. This saluta-
ciple which, while it led to the abandonment
ofaseheme ofindirect taxation founded on a
false basis and pushed to dangerous excess
justifies any enlargeiiient ofduties that may
be called for-bv» the real exigencies‘of’ the
public service.’ It provide-s‘ihat duties shall
be laid for the purpose of raising such reve
nue as may be necersary to an economical
administraiton of the Government.’ It is
therefore in the power of Congress to lay
duties as large as its discretion may dictate
for the necessary uses of the Government
without infringing upon the objects of the
act of 1833. I do not doubt that the exigen-
cies of the Government do require an increase
of the tariff of duties above 20 per cent; and
I as little doubt thatCongress may above, as
well as below that rate, so discriminate as to
give incidental protection to manufiicturing
industry——tlitis to make the burdens which it
is compelled to impose upon the people, for
the purpose of Government, productive of a
double benefit. This, mostofthe reasonable
opponents of protective duties seem willing
to concede and if we may judge from the
manifestations of public opinion in all quart-
ers, this is all the manufacturing interests
really require. I am happy in the persua-
sion that this double object can he most easily
and effectually accomplished at the present
juncture, without any departure from the
spirit and principle of the statute in question.
The manufacturing classes have now an
opportunity which may never occur again
for permanently identifying their interests
with those of the whole country, and making
them in the highest sense of the term, a ra-
tional concern. The moment is pro piiious
to the interests ofthe whole country, in the
introduction of harmony among all its parts
and its several interests. The same’ rate of
imposts and no more, as will secure to the
manufacturer all the protection he ought to
desire, with every prospect of periiianence
and stability which the hearty acquiescence
of the whole country, on a reasonable system
can hold out to him.
But of this universal acquiescence, and
the harmony and confidence and the many
other benefits that will certainly result from
it, I regard the suspension of the law for
distributing the proceeds of the sales of the
public lands as an indispensable condition.-
This measure is, in my judgement, called
for_by a large number, if not by a great
majority of the people of the United States:
by the State of the public creditand finances;
by the critical posture of our various foreign
relations: and, above all, by the most sacred
of all duties, public faith. The act of Sep-
flemlit-‘t‘ l«'1St. which provides for the distribu-
tion, couples it inseparably with the condition
that it shall cease-—first, in case of war:
second, as soon and so long as the rate of
duties shall, for any reason whatever, he
raised above 20 per cent. Nothing can be
more clear, expressive, or imperative, than
this language. It is in vain to allege that
a deficit in the Treasury was known ii) exist
and that means were taken to supply this
deficit by loan when the act was passed. It
is true tbata loan was authorized at the
same session during which the distribution
law was passed; but the most sanguine of
the friends of the two measuresentertained
no doubt but that the loan would be eagerly
sought after and taken up by the capitalists,
and speedily reimbursed by a country destin-
ed, as they hoped. soon to enjoy an overflow-
ing prosperity. The very terms ofthe. loan
ry law proclaims in express terms, the prin--
—
atrate this beyond all cavil.
Who at the time foresaw or iiragined the
possibility ofthe present real state of things
when a nation that has paid off her whole
debt since the last peace, while all the other
great Powers have been increasing; theirs,‘
and whose resources. already so great, are;
yet but in the infancy of their development;
should be compelled to haggle in the money
market for a paltry sum, not equal to ore.

than they could he, were we actualy involved"
in war? it appears to me to be the indispeni
sable duty of all concerned in the 8(llfllUIS_
tration of public affairs to see that a state o
things so humiliating and so perilous shoull
not last a moment longer than is absoliitelv
unavoidable. Much less excusable should
we be in parting with any portion of our
available means, at least until the demands
ofthe Treasury are fully supplied. lBut
besidesthe urgency of such considerations.
the fact is undeniable, that the distribution
act coitld not have become a law without the
guaranty in the proviso ofthe not itself.
This connection, thus meant to be insepa-
rable, is severed by the bill presented to me.
The bill violates the principle ofthe acts of
I833 and September. I841, by suspending
the first, and rendering, for a time, the last
imperative. Duties above 20 per cent are
proposed to be levied, and yet the proviso in
the distributation act is disregarded. The
proceeds ofthe sales are to be distributed on
the lst of August; so that, while-.,tbe duties
proposed to be enacted exceed 20 per cent,
no suspension of the distribution to the States
is permitted to take place. To abandon the
principle for a month isto open the way for
its total abandonment. If such is not meant
why postpone at all; Why not let the distri-
bution lake place on the lst of July, if the
law so directs ? (Which, however, is re-

Mr Cushing moved that the message be

Mr W C Johnson. again gave notice that
should bring in a bill at the earliest moment
to pledge the public lands for payment of
the State Di-bts, which would relieve the
country from the many embarrassments in
garded as questionable.) But why not have
limited the provision to that effect? Is it for
the accommodation ofthe Treasury’.l I see
no reason to believe that the 'l‘reasury will

be well entertained, according to strict legal
rules,whetherithe condition, having thus been
expressly supended by this bill, and render-
ed inapplicable to a case \\ here it would
otherwise have clearly applied, will he not
considered as ever after satisfied and gone.
\Vithout expressed any decided opinion on
this point I see enough in it to justify me in
adhering to the law as it stands, in preference
to subjecting a condition so vitally affecting
the peace of the country, and so soleinnlv
enacted at a momentous crisis, and so stead-
fastly adhered to ever since: and so replete,
if adhered to. with good to every interest of
the country, to doubtful or captions interpret-

In discharging the high duties thus im-‘

the House my entire willingness to co-ope

and proper, which in its wisdom it mayjudge
necessary and proper to re establish the cred-

sufficient to maintain the Government in

IV/rile S/cod oft//e Prrtrics.——MI‘. Ken-
d.ill, of the New Orleans Picayune, is giving
some account of what he saw and suffered in
his late expedition toward Santa Fe, which
resulted in imprisonment at Mexico. After
noticing flocks of small white horses in the
Prarics he adds the following:
"Many stories are told of a large white
horse that has been seen often in the vicinity
of the Cross Timbers and near the Red
River. lie has never been known to gallop
but paces even faster than any horse that has
been sent out after him can rim: and so
game. and untiring is the ‘White Steed of
the Prairies,’ for he is well known to the
trappers and traders by that name. that he
has tired down no less than three race nags
sent out expressly to catch him with a Mex-
can rider. The latter had nothing but a
lasso or lariat with him, along rope made
either of horse hair or hemp, and which the
l‘Jexicans throw with great dexterity ; but
although he took :1 fresh horse after tiring
one down, he was never near enough the
noble animal to throwa slip noose over his
head, or even to drive him into a cantor...
he has been know to pace a tulle in Iessthan
two minutes, and he can keep up this rate
hoiir after hour, or until he has tired down

have been offered to any one who would
