He was aware that the necessities of the Government required more means than that rate of duty wonld But the same thing was equally well known at the time the act was and in full view of the fact that much more than 20 per of would be required after the 30ih of 1842, the clause in that act restoring the land fund in case of such contingency was introduced and upon by Senators whose votes were based on that and but for which the act never could have been Now the contingency was at and be for carrying out that in good was perfectly willing to lo a temporary continuance of ihe laws imposing a higher of duty than 20 per as contemplated by the first part of the But he wai willing to give his assent to he held that it mutt be taken with the and j quences contemplated by the state of the distribution By a measure the of which received as solemn and a as any ever before it was declared if al any time during the of ihe distribution the rate of duties should 20 per fiom that moment tha distribution of the tales of the proceeds of the public lands shall and continue suspended so leng as the of suspension He did not believe that it was contended gravely that the rate ol contemplated by this measure now before them would not exceed 20 per on many but not on Then they were entitled to tie id for himself and his strict and faithful compliance with the stipulations contained in that act. It was strong in the recollection of that the 20 per proviso was sanctioned by he leading friends of distribution The proviso ratified in and it was conceded on all sides that it should be a and essential part of the distribution With regard to the amendment of the Senator from it postponed the until the 1st of at which time it was proposed to lake anything in the distribution or any other to the contrary But no man had admitted that they had the constitutional power to distribute if they had to raise it by and yet all these principles must be trampled to grasp at distribution as a practical Nor had any man that bad a right to except ia ease Clay in 1833, and the of all the advocates of from that time to the recent revival of the when distribution was contended for on the principle that by duty of 20 per on in the fashionable language of the there would be more than a sufficiency of means for the support of the the proceeds of the public laads could be distributed among the indebted But there was now no dreamed of and yet a distribution was contemplated and insisted on by notwithstanding the impoverished state of the and the difficulty of negotiating loans to carry on the millions of dollars in revenue was all that could be under existing from Twenty-seven millions was the least sum according to the estimate of the chairman of the Committee of Ways and in the other But where was the balance of twelve millions to be got Upon The most thriftless resource ever thought even by the prodigal son He showed that little dependence was to be placed on Out of all the luan of the extra session and this a million and a half had been obtained since the last act and at the sacrifice of national and a half per he understood from heing the rate at which that pittance How much money was likely to be in the treasury on the 1st of When navy appropriation the army appropriation will have been thirty days in how much money ill be left in the treasury is the money to be which this proviso says be distributed to the States on the of instead of the 1st of July Did mean to borrow if they of and at what sacrifice of national honor and national And ibis to be done in spite of the want of constitutional power to borrow money lor admitted by every one? No man even dared to a unless from a When the Senator from Kentucky Clay) made his celebrated report in favor of it was on the ground that the treasury was then bowed down by the of surplus which it necessary to get rid of. the proposition is to distribute from an exhausted which can have no unless created by borrowed be was 60 utterly indefensible as the assumption that the public lands are the property of the and not of the United This argued at great in opposition to the expressed views of the Senator from and SMITH of Indiana interposed to explain as the Senator appeared to refer to him as authority for the that it was contended by the friends of distribution that all the lands called public lands belonged to the whether covered by the deeds of cession or he far as related to to correct the He had never so His as would be seen by his public that the proceeds of the lands covered by ihe deeds of after the objects of the cession had been were due to the as to the lands not coveted by those they were subject to the of at its as was declared in the and contended for by General the head of the Democratic He hoped he was and be would not further interrupt the RIVES He understood the Senator to say after the accomplishment of certain the of the ceded lands belonged to the S. nodded assent ] He quoted the deed of with a view of showing that the language was perfectly justified by the condition ol alliance which held ihe Stales together at that There was to be a common to which the States were to that compact ever be carried but by bringing the proceeds into the common to be applied to the common be expatiated apon at and quoted the declaration of brought forward by him for the first having accidentally ered it in the archives of After quoting evidence from various authorities Mr. R. deduced whatever may be Mr. views when he first advocated and for many the idea of anything beyond distribution from an inconvenient surplus in the to the subjects of revenue ahd national he maintained that the only way to resuscitate both was to restore the basis of national public He repudiated the idea by any form of a permanent revenue of twenty-seven millions can be raised from He showed in a recent as acknowledged by Sir Robert a horizontal daly of 5 per added io certain imports ia instead of raising as produced only mere the anticipated If twenty-seven millions of dollars must be raised in this country to supply the annual wants of the Government for years to it must be either by direct taxes in or by Would the people submit to direct taxation by the General Government for or ihe repayment of loans was this abrogation of the good faith pledged in the clause of the distribution to be justified in such a condition of Did gentlemen really expect by any tariff to millions of annually from the imports of this Did they make no allowances for the stimulus to contraband If they make the they will be by It must at last come to direct and then the people would feel ihe policy of such legislation in every fibre of their bodies and every pulse of their most respectfully called upon bis friends to pause in their consider well the results of a course so to ask themselves if the safest policy was not the maintenance of their He asked not one tittle beyond their but be claimed the fulfilment of their CRITTENDEN observed that the circumstances which called for the passage of this at were of such urgent nature as to the delay which would be occasioned by a lengthened It was only in that view he could regret the loss of occasioned by the very eloquent dissertation of the Senator from on such a variety of for he could hardly have thought it to waste so much learn aad on a little temporary the existence of which would be but one only refutation he thooght necessary to offer to the Senator's was a reference to his own he if lime only ask to oppose the Senator to He would set up his vote in favor of the distribution ot last as a complete answer lo his arguments RIVES reminded the Senator from Kentucky that he had been induced to vote for that measure by the solemn stipulation of the His arguments to-day in favor of carrying out the provisions of that in good CRITTENDEN said was only a small part of the and did not affect main principle of distribution; and did not the Senator vote for that distribution at a time he knew there was no surplus in the and there was no that there wonld became of his argument that it was not constitutional to distribute anything but But the gentleman says it is not constitutional to distribute revenue or yet be voted for the twelve million loan of last to supply the treasury which was to disburse this distribution; and also voted for the distribu lion if no additional tariff was would not the distribution go on from money in the and would the Senator sty be did not know whence that money was to be with these recollections fresh in the minds of all they had heard the reiterated arguments and denunciations of the 8enator, as if he was not a Sorely the Senator would not himself under the declaration that he did not know the condition of the when he gave such and he was certain be would not state that he meant io mock the by giving them his vote for what he knew would be inoperative and Mr. C entered into a lengthened review of the grounds taken by the Senator from Virginia relative to the national right of property in the public next reverted to the subjects of revenue and national aad decried the idea that a great country like abounding iu so many sources of and with a population of enterprising and industrious be dependent fot its credit on the possession of a source of income yielding not a million and a half of while it had a hundred millions of dollars worth of imports to rely upon conceivable amount of necessary revenue to meet the its If it should ever come to that direct taxes should be resorted he tell the Benator he would be as ready as he was to take back the land for he could then see no difference between giving so much to the people with one and taking it back with the under disadvantageous There was nothing in the Senators arguments about the of entering every that was not equally applicable to the of the as well as the of the General and if the distribution saved the necessity of visitation from 8iate the people would have reason be grateful to that and would hail the measure of distribution as a great to breach of be would be glad lo know whose faith was Was it that of the friends of They did not want any restrictive If gentlemen talk of he would be glad to know who made According to the own no stipulation was made with at cannot say any faith was broken with never regarded this distribution act in any other light than that of of common and ordinary subject to revision and It is very true at the time of passing the friends of the in order to carry it earlier than they could carry for the content to modify it so as to insure a sufficient number of votes for its but that was not to preclude when ever they should have a maj strong enough to amend the from the obnoxious clause forced upon them by the circumstances ot the Did the Senator mean to contend that an act is to be or even to continue moment longer in full force than Congress when prepared to repeal or modify There was no violated All parties got by this act just what they could and no mnst be ihe case in relation to any Congress may choose to seemed to him strange ibat any doubt should be entertained as to the import of the proviso now under is the That Congress is called upon to pass a law continuing the revenue laws now existing for one What Is on such an with regard to the friends and of That the operation of the act of 1841, in relation to should be merely suspended during the rise of revenue after 30th of 1843, for one month pending the of the whole If the compromise act were to be carried in on the 1st of wonld not the duties be 5, 6, or 7 per higher than 90 per the home valuation and cash was but for one short And was it right that this temporary act should be allowed to suspend the operation of a great national distribution act to long agitated and so solemnly The proviso will continue in will the distribution act. could gentlemen con tend that it wonld have jhe effect of a This act will expire on the 1st of If then the duty should be higher than 30 per how can the be made after without some fresh or duties fall down to 30 par was ha to have any other view of the if gentlemen would bnt collate all the laws lh existence on the subject He hoped the would be WALKER said he had listened attentively to the construction which the Senator from Kentucky had attempted to give to aod he would acknowledge if he could bring his mind to believe that the proviso would have no other effect than merely to postpone the payment of the fund the day of leaving the provision iu the uninfluenced in any other be should be in favor of the as it came from the But he was compelled say that all the arguments be had heard on this point had failed to convince Senator from with a view te avoid the conclusion that ihe amendment now proposed should have any other effect than which it purported upon its stated that it merely provided that the distribution act should be modified so as to until ihe 1st of the payment of land This was the very thing Mr. complained of.
