In any provision of n public Revenue, Congress ought so to- fix it as to admit of die pnv- tnent of honest and proper demands, which its justice cannot reject or evade. I hope too that Cither in the udjustnieut of the public revenue or, wiiot would he prefer»Tile, 'in - tire appropriation of the tnorceds of tho public lands, effectual and permanent provision will be niadt for such Internal.Improvements as may he xanc tioned by Congress.

During iis continuance of eight years, owing to die embarrassment* of the Treasury, the ten illtons were not regular!^ - applied to the or propriety which admits of the States becoming such i ncipient' - of gratuity from die Genera!

Although it may he impracticable to say what the exact amount nf the public revenue should he, for Ihe future, and what would be the precise produce of any given system of imposts, we may ssfe- ly assume, that tlm revenue may now be reduced, and considerably reduced.
