We publish, to-day, the report of the Secretary ofthc Treasury, with the ac | company ing bill on the subject of the Ta- The tluciinVent was long since cull ed for, nnd has been long expected, and will doubtless, be rend extensively. V\ e have not time, nt present, to give to the public ottr reflect ions on llie pro -1 jeet proposed by the Secretary, nnd must r confine ourselves to a few remarks on its - leading features. The render will see - that, on many of the important articles. M specific duties are still retained, so that it is dillieult to say, to what per cent, ad r valorem, they would amount. On a 1 slight examination, however, wc would • suppose the nvVrage duties on all heavy s protceied articles, do not vary ninteriul • ly from the tnrilfoi' 1M I. They, nt least, . considerably oxceetl those of Ill'll. The minimum principle is yielded as to woollens, but retained as to certain tle • scriptions t f eolton goods. Cash duties • are substituted for credit, n gVcat and iiintcrinl change in onr system of imposts us established lixmi the ciimmciiceirieill. of the Government, caleuhiled to add • very considerably to the nominal rate of ilnties, ns (INetl in tbe proposed project, 1 wo would suppose, not less than six per I rent. Another new principle is the tax upon mictions of one uml a half per cent which must also he added to the iioinin- j al duties. This feature involves ail h i I portant principle, and to these wo may i add another feature, involving pria. Spies ! and consequences, still inure Impurlut,/. We menu the system of HOl'N’l IE!S to I lie shipping interest, inserted under n pre tence of drawback! These, with same change ns to the amount of valuation, constitute the peculiar features of the plan. The hill is to go into operation on 1 llie fit! of Alarcb, ISdd, ami is pernitinenl in its provisions, contemplating no fur ther reductions. On review ing its provisions, wo con clude, on the whole, that the plan will . not ho nnexeei table to the maim fact nr* 1 ing Intel est. ll makes some reductions, i it is true, on the protected articles, but it also contains new provisions, which can not fail to lie highly acceptable to that interest, to which, if we add the almost entire exemption from duties of tho un prot ehd, mill which nets ns a bounty, to that extent, to the prohcled articles, the manufacturing interest would be in a sitiititihn cet t.iinly not less desirable (ban the present. We do not think flint the project will he equally acceptable to the grert opposing nntl tax paying interest of tlte country, judging from till the indica -1 tions which we see in that quarter. Air. Kiehie himself, who certainly is mm ll disposed lo second ihb “Executive ] 1 view.” its will he seen by an extract ■ from the last liitiliniuml Enquirer, con- ] siders twenty or twenty live per cenl.ji as the extreme rate of duty, and even ; that to be iiccompiinicd w ilii a prot ision j i .if a gradual n tliiclion of duties down tor the lowest rex emie point, in this, we do 1 m ♦ doubt, be spe nks the language of the 1 entire Smith. As to the probable idiionnl i of revetiiie w liich the hill will give, it is : dillieult lo speak with certainty. Wc i would tnppose, s| caking conjee turn) ly, that it cannot tit 11 shot tef sixteen orsev- 1 h tlceii iiiillibalt of dollars, the l sum nt which it is estinii i'd Under this project, and which, added to the pdblic lauds, and bank dividends would leave a ( er mtinent revenue «.f fr« in eight! en to I wet ty millions of dollars, and leaving a b surplus, at letist, ofseven mii!ionsi- r ii sum - stiliicicnlly large, we feat', lo divide, dis trut I, and corrupt the whole country.

( nent mamilacltiters, and other gentle-, 1 men at tpuiinlctl wltli the sul Jet t. (>omf of those, however, who had been ; ! st let-led us agents, declined acting; ami 1 owing to lint, anti other c uses, withj which it is m»l necessary to trouble the" House, more time lias been employed in 1 executing the intentions of the deport meat than was anticipated. The ini 1 portnnee of despatch was fully nppreci- i 1 tilt'd, but diitil the rt turns t oulil be t'C-j 1 eeivctl, toenabh* llie undersigned to com . 1 miinii-ate the liiets called for by tlie|' House, he Hit! not deem himself author- ' ixed to submit any suggestions, or re- ' : coiiiinend any put lierilur inodiltt ation ol [ existing duties. These leturns have but recently begun 1 to come in. and have yt t liceii only par- I dally received; but rather than incur any ‘ delay, ut this ml vnnrcd period ol theses-j; -ion, or longer disappoint tbe expectation of the House, the undersigned has thej* donor lo communicate tlte ret urns as tar as they have come to hand, and will eon 1 dime to transmit others as they may he j , received at the department. , 1 1 n eonipl Ving tviffc so much ol the re-d Millions of the HotisS a*t require M <- Sc-11 crtUiry of the Treasury to conum nic >te|' .us own suggestions, he is well i.w i ' i'lhe delicacy and responsibility (t t > ' sk be has been instructed to petiorm; i •e is profoundly sensittle, however, • j th-.s tnpoi-tnnce of the crisis xxltieli ha- in ueed the deniaml; and iie has entire 1 ■onfidente in the liberal patriotism with 1 which every honest ctlbrt for he utmost b merit of its acknowledged difficulties will be received. If the raising the proper amount of re venue were tne only object, or could n lone guide these suggestions, the task would be comparatively easy; hut she crisis presents.n different imd far more complicate subject, 'fhe impost syrVeVn of the I nited States lias been, for. ihflny years, incidentally, but so intimately con nected with the growth and protection of American capital and labor ns to have raised up great national ihtereMs, indis pensable to the prosperity of the coun try, and w hich cannot ho tost sigh t of in any new adjustttient of the system. How far other interests, in dillereiit portions of the Union, can be satisfied in the system now to be framed, without inju ry to fhos'e important interests is (he question which makes a compliance with the direction of the House, « labor of great delicacy, and of still greater difll citlfy. In the circumstances which at present require a general reduction of the reve nue, it is not believed practicable to pre serve, K>r any length offline, the degree of protection liitheild afforded to I,hose interests which have grown up under the past legislation. The slate of pub [lie feeling throughout an important por tion of the country, which, with greater |or less intensity, calls for ti revision of i the existing tariff is not to lie disguised. I Colli patriot): in and wisdom dictate that ihisscnliment should be I'bispe.cleil, and, [as tarns may bo compatible with the I common wear, that it be satisfied, not from any unworthy motive, blit under tliaf obligation of dlity, Which requires that ail be regarded with an equal eye; and that all lie borne upon with nn equal hand; ami, umler that no less solemn obligation, to preserve, by any reason:! hie concessions, nnr inestimable Union. fully impressed with these considera tions, and in the belief that, by their re solutions, the Mouse has required sug geslions lor a general reduction of duties on the artiek it comprehended in the ex- , isting tarilf, the undersigned lias felt it Ids duty to deal with the subject in that spirit, and hits now thu honor to submit the result ofliis investigation and reilee tion in the t’crin of a bill accompanying this letter. He does not intefid it sin much for a , perfect scheme, as to embody tliosb sag | geslions which lie lias been called upon to make in a deffniile and intelligible shape; in <1 while looking to the patriot ic object of the resolution, w hich has al so guided his own judgment, he cheer fully assumes the responsibility of the scheme now presented, tie will ilbrlVe ho less gratification if that object edn be better at (rilled by any another j lan w hieh wiser counsels may devise. The basis ofthe bill now submitted, is a total repeal ol the net of the 19th ct May.

If a reduction of #10,00(1,000,- of up wards, should be made, to go into opera- i lion immediately, il would t i'lei t not only i the fulin o revei >ie, but that nliirfi hits l already accrued, tiud which forms ttieli chief liasis of the nci ipls into tl.e Trea li -ury during the present year.

For the objects mainly intended to be , prov ided for. mi annual revenue of #ls.- : dlltl. (HU) is estimated to be necessary. Os i this amount, until Uougross shnll other- , wise determine, the sum of #5,000,000 i may be estimated to be received from ' ' 8 ' JP ■ I the public Inuefs.

The elitlerencc, how ever lift ween the raleofduties since 1850, and thtW under the bill, will not bw ejuite so great owing to flic reductions already made in the duties on lea, collce, tnolass es, and salt. \ great number of nfflelesof the first necessity, or partaking of the character ol raw materials, haX'e lieen retievelf. froiu duty altogether; and ton ninny es the necessaries of life, and those princi pally consumed iiy ttio poorer classes, a duty almost nominal has been imposed. Ait opinion has been heretofore ex pressed by the undersigned, In favor of a prospective and gradual reduction ol the existing duly on articles embraced by the protective system ; but it bus been departed Crum in the bill, in delfcrenee to respectable opinioith from oilier quar ters, Iml principally to what is under stood to be* the wish ofthe innnUlaetur ersthemselves, who prefer per mnnent in its eharactbr to one liable* to change. It has not been supposed practicable to oiler any reasonable scheme of com premise, and for the iiiljiistine at of exis ting dillerenees, vv hich should not avoid the incongruity in the art of fib in the extravagant duty on the raw materi als, and the vvell-folliiiled objections to tlie system ofTninimiims. It islielicvfd that the producer of the raw material, and especially the grower of wool, will receive an ample indemnity iiir the concession now required, in the eonsfaney and steadiness of the innrket, which the sure and permanent success oflhe manufacturing Cshddishhibiits will not tkil to uftofel !bl* his commodity, and in tlie cheapening of his general supplies. Independently of these crjbkkleKations, however, it O.ill appeal* by the statement accompanying (he hill (marked A) that, by lllft ilnty imposed tiy the hill on raw wool, a price not less than forty cents a pound is secured to tlie domestic produ cer of (hat article. Other statements, showing the operation of other parts of the* bill. Will be* prepared liiid transmitted as they may be iouild accessary. Tlie system of minimums is regarded as imposing an unnee-cssiii’y and extrav agant rule ofdiily, mid ns eneoiiraging tlie eoii.imissiun ofTrnikls dillicull, if nut impossible to prevent. It.
