Mr. J. R„ndnlpb said he was about
to rail the attention of the House to a
j ful j-cd, which he fliould not have pro
■ bub. y have b ought into view, but for the j
1 change wrought in the rt.te of the re
-1 venue, in confrqucßce of the peace con
’ eluded with Tripoli. Ain >r.g the dit- !
i ferent articles from which monies were I
j drawn, there was none so heavily burthen- j
I id as fait ; at.d it wou/d be rccollccfed
: that it wasoneof the nccdLtries of life,
j end an article the free ute and confump
| tion of which uas of material importance
Ito the agriculture of the country. Two
atts had been ptff.d laying a duty on
tin* ar icle. It was no new thing to
tv.(h—it wa9 indeed extremely dtfirable
—to ditnintlh, if not to take otf this du
ty ; and for that purpose lie submitted
the following resolution ;
Refo.'ved,'Vfiit the committee ofWays
and Miatis be inflrutlcd to enquire into
the expediency of repealing so much of
any att as lap a duty on fait, and to re
port iuch provilion, as may in their o
pinion, be calculated to meet the de
iiciency oncalioned by that repeal.
Mr. Thomas said, the committee of
Way* and Means, of which the gentle
man from Virginia (Mr. J. Randolph)
who haß made the motion, was and ltd!
is chairman, were initruftesl, by this
House, in the early part of lait session,
on a motion which he had the honor
then to tubmit, to ei quire into the ex
pedtency of reducing the duty on fait,
and if he recollected right they were di
tefted to report by bill or otherwise, but
Irom fome citife or other, to him un
known, that committee had never yet
made any report on that fubjed—cour
tcly might induce him to impute this
negltd to the multiplicity of buftnefs
put into the band* of the mctr.bers of
that committed.
He, Mr. T. always corfidered the du
ty 011 this article too high, and failing
particularly heavy on the agracultural
pait of the community. It was now and
always had been his wilh to reduce it as
soon a* our revenue would permit, if con
lifteut with the provilions made for pay
ing off our national debt, and meeting
the other exigencies of government—so.
his part he was at a lol's, however, to
ditcover that the present situation of our
icvenue, and the calls on government for
npcndituie, together with the prelint
afped of our foreign relations, warran
ted this mejfure more now than la A year.
It was time that the war with the Bar
bary powers up the Mediterranean ha u
ccafcd, but it was also true, that the
two and an half per cent additional duty
on goods paying ad valorem duties, hac ,
likewise ceased with the peace conclud
ed with Tripoli—This Juty was laid for
the support of, and was more ti,an ads
quate to theexpence of that war.
lie repeated, that he was in favor of
reducing the duty on fait, whenever we
could part with so much of our revenue.
He regretted, howner, that the gentle
man from Virginia (Mr. Randolph) had
not brought th's fubjed up at an earlier
period of the fefiion when it might have
been in our power to have examined into
it, and if found pradieable to have re
duced the duty ; but as the gentleman
is himfelf chan man of the committee,
1 aud has it in bis power to ad on it im
mediately if he pleales, he hoped he (Mr.
Randolph) would obey the irdtrudions
of the house when predicated on his own
motion, although he did not when in
truded by a resolution iubmitttd by him,
Mr. T. and, therefore, he would volt
for the resolution with an expedition
that we fhail, now at leait, have a report
on the iubjtd.
Mr. J. Randolph, said he had but two
or three words to offer on the fuhjtd or
the motion said to have been offered du
ring the lass year on this point. He
had a diftind rtcolledion of such a mo
tion having been offered ; and he also
recolleded that he bad told the mover of
it, that it was not then poffkile to take
off the duty upon fait, inasmuch as they
had only the session preceding been com
pelled to r.ift additional revenue for the
purpotc of carrying on the Tripoiitaß
war. He did m t recoiled whether the
resolution had been agreed to by the
houle. But it would he recolleded chat 1
during the latter part of the fefiinn the !
moll adlive members of the committee of {
Ways and Miens were ahnoll cxclulively
engaged in conducing an impeachment
depending before the other braiieh of the
legifiature. If the committee of Ways
and Means had failed in their duty to
make a report, the Houle would per
ceive that it was on one of these trivial
motions, which had been made under
circumttanccs that did neit entitle it to
refpeft. For when it was coufidered
that they had recently been obliged to
resort te> new taxes for carrying on an tx
itling war, it couid not have been cxp.c.
ted that they were in a lliuation to dif
pcafe with old ones. Tiie rcafon why I
tins resolution had not been brought tor
ward at an tailier period of the fcfiuin,
Mr. R. laid, was molt obvious, lie hau’ i
not heard of the cooclulion oi peace
with Tripoli till Saturday, and this was,
therefore, the earheil occafioa that eiLr
ed for making it.
Mr. Cb-na cr said he hoped the mo
tion would prevail. He hxu hunted con
templated making a limilar motion.
Mr. Smi.ii iikewtfe supported the
bio! ion.
Mr, p.'jhn laid he heartily concurred
ji.l the propriety of taking off the da y
lon fait ; but he thuugnt ttie house
lought p-evio’ally to know what equiva
lent Could he biought forward Tins
fa'cjtd had been thought of before this
proportion bad been luLnutted, and the
continuation of the duty of two and a ;
half per cent, had been conlideied an !
acivifa'ole fubHitute. He nail no doubt
that the duty on lalt might be difptti
fed with, and that which he had referred
to would answer as a substitute. But
he had doubts of the propriety of the :
•iiredion pmpof.d to be given to this
jbufi. efs. He thought this resolution, I
j together with that t ffered by a gentle j
man Horn M?.ffachufett3, fnuuld go in :
baud with each other—whether they j
went to the committee f the whole j
house, or to the committee of ways and j
means, was immaterial to him—that it!
one of these fourecs of revenue were j
given up, the other fltould be at the
fame time fubtlitutcd in room of it.
He said he did uot know in what iitua
tion the resolution offered by the gen
tlemen from Massachusetts was, which
he would wilh to know before he vated
on this resolution.
A member olfeived that the house
had never agreed to confider it.
Mr. ‘1 humus said, as the gei tleraar.
from Virginia appeared to have forgot
that the committee of wh.ch he was
chairman, were inlt'.uded to e quire in
to the expediency of reducing the duty
on lalt, in the early part of the lass fes
liou, he wiffied the clerk to read that
part of the journal. The resolution he
laid passed about the firft of December.
Mr. J. Randolph said he certainly
did not deny the exiltence of such a re
lolutton. He had only observed that he
did not recollect having received it
irom the cleik.
The clerk read the resolution offered
lass 1.-ffion by Mr. Thomas on the 7th
of December, 1804, which was Inch as
he had Rated, ana which appeared to
have received the sanction of the house.
Mr. Alylon then moved that the rclo
lution Humid be referred to a committee
of the wtioie, which, after a few words
in opposition to iuch a mode of reference
by Mr. Leib, was difagrecd to—Ayes
2 2
When the original motion obtained
without a diviffon.
The bill tor the lafeguard of merchant
vciEtia in the vicinity of the Z/uited S.
WAS read a third time.
Mr. Dana oblerved that the yea* and
nays had been called on several occalions
10 ffiew the difference that fu'ofifftd in
the house. He hoped they would bt
take 1 on this occasion to manifeff their
concurrence in opinion.
The yeas and nays were accordingly
cken, and were—Yeas 87 —Nays 5.
The bill for carrying into effect cer
tain Indian treaties, was read a third time
and passed.
Air■ J. C • Smith, from the committee

corcu.red.
The bill making appropriations for

Mr. Varnum confidercd the objeft*
contemplated by this bill too important
and the ful jest too abstruse, to be likely
at so late a period of the Itlfion to com
mand that attention they merited 5 and
therefore moved that the committee

When the bill was coufidcrcd by lec
tions, and fome progress made in it,
when the committee role, aud obtained
leave to set again.
The following message was received,
from the Rrcfident of the U. S.
To tbs senate and Itoufe >f Rsfrfentativcc
of the U. States.
During the blockade of Tripoli by
the iquadion of the U. S. afmall cruiz
er, under .he flag of Tunis, with two
prizes (all of trifling value) attempted to
enter Tripoli, was turned back, warned,
and attempting again to enter, was taken,
and detained, 1.3 prize by the squadron.
Her reffituuan was claimed by the Bty
if Tonis, with a threat of war in terms
so feriou3, that on withdrawing from the
blockade of Tripoli, the commanding of
ficer of the squadron thought it his
duty to repair to- Tunis with the
iquadren, and to- require a cathe
gorical declaration whether peace or
war was intended. The Bey preferred
explaining himfelf by an ambassador to>
he U. i>. who 011 his arrival, renewed
the requrft that the vcflel and her pri
ze* Ihould be reffored. It was deemed
proper to give this proof of friendship tc
the Bey, and the ambassador was inform
ed the vtffcls would be reffored. After
wards he made a rcquifitiou us naval
.tores to be font to the Bey in older to
ecure a peace fora term ot three years,
with a threat of war, if refnfed. It has
been reiufed, and the ambassador is about
to depart wi hoot receding from his
threat or demand.
Under these circumftsnces, and co
fidtring that the several provilions of the
aft of March 25’ 1 804, will ceale in con
fcquence of the ratification of the treaty
of peace w.th Tripoli, now advised and
consented to by the Senate, l have
thought it my duty to communicate
these fafts, in order that Congvef* may
oifidcr the txpediency of continuing
the fame provisions for a limited time, or
making others equivalent.
