tut*?! <*T the yefi.r 1822, and also of
4 823 unt 1 182i, nn parr of the annu
al appropriation of S t 0.000,000
constituting the sinking fund, is
comprehended, except what is ne
cessary to disc harge the interest of
the public debt, and the reimburse
ment of (lie six per cent, defer
red stock. On the Ist of January.
1825, and the three succeeding
years, the debt contracted during
the years 1812, 4 -Sl3, 181 h and 1815
becomes redeemable at the will of
, the government. These sums great
ly exceed the amount of the sinking
fitful applicable in (hose years to the
redemption of (he public debt. As
the current value* of the five per ct.
stock, created during the lust and
present years, exceeds that of the
seven per cent, stock, and of (he six
pr. r ent stock of 1312 and 1813, it
is presumed that the holders of (hose
stocks will be disposed to exchange
them for an equal amount of five
per cent, stock redeemable at such
periods as to give full operation to
the sinking fund, as at present con
stituted. According to this view of
the subject, £2**,000,000 of the
stocks which wifi he redeemable in
the years 1825 anii 1826, tuay he
exchanged for live per cent. s*o k,
tedeemahlc, one third on the first
of January, 1831, undone (hi and on
tin* same dajs of 1832. and 18j3.
This exchange of six per et. stock,
if effected on the lr of January,
4823, will an amual re
duction of^the interest of the public
debt, from thai time to the tirvt
mentioned period, of £2l-0,000 At an
aggregate saving, tiimogh flie w.bole
period, of $2,160,000. if me whole
of the seven per cent sb>.k should

But, it is passible, that (tie prn
gve<>b ve increase of le re venue,
Vrhi“h a* been anticipated, and
wli * h eoessary to the full ope
ra’ion of ihe Slaking Fund, may
noi he realized. Isi tliar event, the
public expenditure authorized by
tiv may, ifter the Ist of January,
1825, exceed the public- revenue
The remedy iu such cas* must he
j—-1 st an increase of the public re
vcmTed.y an addition to the existing
imnositiufjs; or, 2d, a redaction of
the - inking Fund.
First. A general revision and
correction of the duties imposed up
on f ♦reign merchandise s* cm to he
required. Many of the articles
which pay but fifteen per cent, ad
valorem, might, in justice as well as
policy, to he p aced at *25 per cent,
which is the duty paid upon the
[yjo-ipal articles of woollen and
o-Hc* manufactures. The same
tli* art iciest Uich pay twenty live
> en *. Aeo reciimi
of he existing urn ies> w ith a view
tb mi increase of tha*mblie rave I tie,
eouhlliardly fail foeffect(liit o*|eot
to the extent of nearly tVoGO 000
(M ars annually. It is highly pro
hibit. however, t f i*t an increase
of duty on some those druries
might evertually circle a #|suetion
Ot*the revenue.; bui *liis can only
teke p!a**e where similar articles ace
manufactured in. the country. In
that event, domestic manufactures
have hern fostered, and the ge
neral ability of the community to
coot* ibute to the public exigencies
will have been ppopm tioiubly Xn-
C reused.
Second. If it should be deemed
expedient to reduce the 8i .ki.ig
Fund, in preference to the intposi
ti nos additional dunes; it taay b*
satisfactory to know tlmt an annual
appropriation for (hat object of
8,000.000 dollars, ccwitme eutg on
the first of January, 1825, will ex
tingaish the who-e of the public
delrf, exclusive of lb© three per

B/ the 53 I section of the penal code

In this high grade of felony, whe

the court. The positiveness of the

SOUTH J.UEIIICA.
There is one remark in Mr. Mon
roe’s Message, whiea deserves a
says that **it is under
stood” the Colonics of South Ame
rica have met with great success;
and that it w ill be the object of the
government o promote the ai koow
ledgement of their independence by
fi’ieudly counsel with the govern
ment of Spain. This w.iuhl not
haps have claimed a remark, did we
not consider ii so much of a piece
with tlie policy of the government
towards tue republics of South A
met ioa. They iiave struggled thro*
a bloody a id exterminating conflict
of thirteen years, against a govern
ment whose tenderest mercies were
to them cruelty, and in a cause like
that for whi fi our fathers contend
ed and bled, (not however unassist
ed and we have looked on with the
cold ah ulatiug policy of a specula
tor, who only considers the effusion
of blood as affecting his profit and
loss account, without an eff >rt to
se ve or to save—a ;d now, whe )
this oppressed people have broken
iheir chains, when they can com
mand terms, and are in fact and
must remain free, sovereign, and in
dependent, thte President of a confe
deration of republics which should
have been bounu to them from the
fir>t impulse of their tevolution by
ties of sympathy and £ncudJ*ip,
comes formrd and offers h’s coirt*
■el to the government of Spain *n
their behalf! Ilia counsel! Ibis is
mockery—and from America too J
Why was uol this interference offer
ed long since, when it might perhaps
have been umental o sa\ing the
effusion of blood. How true it is
that revolution is onfy successful re
bollian ! Had the patriots of ?oufh
America been unsuccessful; bad
tliey been unable to attain the high
stand which tliey have, they would
have been left to the vengeance of a
vindictive government. But they
have attained the objects of their ar
duous contest without foreign assis
tance, and have not only given to
themselves the blessings of a free
government, hut the impulse has
been communicated to Spain, and
pr iestcraft and kingcraft have fal
len before the contagion of freedom,
and wo aid and assist them by our
‘•friendly counsel to the Spanish go
vcrn^leut.’, How generous!
