Th presenting the estimate for the year 1820, it may be proper to observe, that when the internal duties were repealed, on the 3trt December, 1817, the permanent reve nue, including those duties, was estimated at g24,52=.,DOO, whilst the annual authoris ed expenditure was ascertained to be less than 822,000,000. The repeal of the internal duties reduced the former to 22,025,000 i dollars, whilst the payments from the treasury, during the year 1813, ex ceeded 26,o;m,'.ioo dolurs; and those of the present year will, probably, full but little short of 25(500,i5oo dollars. Jn the annual report of • the treasury of the 21st of November,'' 1818, the receipts lor the present year were estimated at manufactures, a considerable portion of the manufacturing skill and capital of those countries will l>e promptly transferred to the V. .states, and incorporated into the do- mostie capital of tlie union. Should this pectation be realized, the disadvantages re sulting from such a monopoly would quick ly disappear. in the mean time, it is be'- liewd that a system of' internal taxation would be severely felt by the great mass of our citizens. Whether the revenue be augmented, cr the expenditure be diminished, a loan of some extent will bo necessary. The. aug mentation of the one, or the diminution of the other, cannot be effected in sufficient time to prevent this necessity. As the six per cent, stock of the U. States is consider ably above par, the sum required to be litis- ed by loan can be conveniently and advanta geously obtained by the sale of s.ock of that description; or it maybe obtained by the is sue of treasury notes, if the revenue and expenditure shall be equalized, tlie issue ot treasury notes, not bearing interest, is re commended in preference to the creation or sale of stock, as the loan, in that event, will be small in that amount, and temporary in its nature.

But it is probable that tlie receipts of that year will be diminished by the non-pay ment of the bank dividends, and by the ap plication ol a portion of the proceeds of tiie public lands to tlie redemption of the out standing Mississippi stock. The receipts for tl:e year 1820, applicable to the ordinary and current demands upon the treasury, may therefore be estimated at 22,000,000 dollars, viz: Customs, Public iar.ds, . , A wears of intemi! duties and direct lax, Second instalment due by the U.

This deficit of nearly 5,000,000 dollars, resulting from me excess of expenditure beyond the receipts, cannot be supplied by any application of the ordina ry revenue. After paying the interest and rimbursement of the public debt, and re- (reeming the remainder of the Louisiana slock, about 2,500,000 dollars of the sinking fund will remain without application, if the price of the public stocks should continue above the prices at which the commission- el's of the sinking fund are authorised to purchase. During the years 1821, 1822, and 1823, (he average sum of 5,000,000 dol lars of the sinking fund will also remain without application, if the price of the pub: lie stock Should prevent its purchase. Any application ol that portion of tlse sinking fund which, on account of the price of the public stock, may remain unemployed in the hands of tfie commissioners of the sink ing fund, to other branches of the public service, if allowable under the provisions of the act making the appropriation, would only postpone the period at which addition al impositions would be required to meet the public expenditure.

Should congress deem it expe dient to modify the present rate of duties, '•■iil' a view to aiford that protection t& our cotton, woollen, and iron manufactures, which is necessary to secure to them the domestic, market, the necessity of restoring to a system of internal taxation will be aug- .meiited.

The sit uation of tiie countries from whence our for eign: ^manufactures have been principaHy ilravh, authorizes the .expectation,, tint, in the event of a monopoly of the home mar ket being secured to c ivooiien the territories of the United States west of tlie Mississippi.” Mr. Strother made a few remarks, the purport of which was, that, although the question was already before the house, asin- volved in the biil for the admission of the Missouri territory into tlie Union; yet, when a proposition was made having for its object a compromise ofcifnfiictiug opinions, it be came numbers to meet it in a spirit of har mony.
