relates to •such further reduction in tho revenue

- ernroodt, aud amouiitiug r.t its original or jHir val

the commcucemciit of the next year the epoch of
that happy and memorable event,” on the near
approach of which the President has justly con
gratulated Congress aud bis fellow citrzens, “the
cxtiuction of tho public debt of n great aud free
nation.” Tho time and the occasion whilst they
are fitted to awakou tho noblest feeliugs of tho
, patriot, aud to give confidence aud ardor to tho
. principles and hopes of every frieert of republi
can institutions, cal! also upon us-witli equal force
to discharge thoso weighty :uid honorable anti
praciiral duties to which wo have been cordially
invited by our Chief Magistrate. The removal
of those financial “burthens which may be found
to fall unequally upon any,” and the reduction
af.tlie revenue to awli a limit as “shall be con-
'<istent with the simplicity of nu economical Gov
ernment, and necessary to au ciiicient public ser-
'\•ice. ,,
Tho examination of the general accounts of the
seceinis nod expenditures of the United .-Ratos
inr the last six years presents tho following re-
• subs: The aggregate expenditure for the six years
ending the 31st of December, 1832, including tho
estimate expenditure of tho present month) a-
mounts to 162,100,000 dollars.
During the same period dial expenditure has
—been supplied by an aggregate amount of reveu-
from vu rim,., ^ u i thie fiy f lom ,h u cus
toms, of 157,600,000. In qtWiwn \9 »“ hues-.
^5n<ied balance in the Treasury at the com -
" ineuccmcutof that term, of 6,353,630 dollars a-
hout ono-sixth of which consisting of ttis p iper ol
broken banks, and similar feuds, has remained
unavailable iu tbc Treasury.
Deducting from these receipts and expendi
tures the amount received aud paid out oa ac
count of claims of Our citizens agaiust foreign
Governments, of which the Treasury was merely
the channel of receipt aud payment, there will
result an annual average of twrntj sir millions of
dollars of annual.income, and an annual nverago
wKpc,..t'.iuru yb.orbing this amount, together with
the balance in the Treasury at the cod of 1326,
amounting to nearly twenty-seven millions of dol
lars a year.
During the same period 83,173.003 dollars of
dttblie debt wai paid off, leaving an average an
nual amount of expenditure! fbr rill other purpos
es, of something less thou 13,500.000 dollars.
These antouuU are stated in rouud numbers,
as they nro sufficiently- accurate fur all the pur
poses of ibis report, and present the views of the
co'tnuihtee uueiiibarrassvd with minute detail, in
X inmate perspicuous manner.
In the gross sum upon which this average nn-
-nual expenditure is calculated, were included the
•payments for the settlement of tho claims of Mas
sachusetts, Virgiuia and South Carolina, the t.,rge
expenditure consequent on the emigration of tho
Indian Tribes, and tho extinguishment of Indian
tiilos, nil made during the fast three years. Jla-
. king allowance for theso extraordinary e'penses,
the income necessary for the ordinary operation
* of Government, providing liberally for nn efficient
civil, military and naval service, need not amount
to nrn.-o than thirteen miiiiuu of dollars annually,
including tho Pension system of former years.—
This calculation, deduced by the committee from
.tho Treasurer's accounts from 1827 to 1332, in
clusive, corresponds in its result very ocavly with
one furnished by tho Treasury Department, foun-
- ded on somewhat different data, by which the av-
-ermre expenditure of six years, from 1326 to 1331
inclusive, for all ordinary and fixed expenses, to
gether with those of a loss permanent character,
but growing out of tho regular and long coutiu-
tied policy of our legislotiou, as for fortifications,
navy yards, light houses, .ke. is stated at 13,113;-
-000 dollars. To this Mim tiie ict at the last ses
sion ext. nJing the systi in of revolutionary pctl-
-sinus will require for some years an additional
arum, which i-> not vet fully ascertained, but is
c. rtai.dy not kn than one million if do‘1 r . in
another annaal million bo added to tiiii enlarged
expcnditureaof cmr present. ndian policy, for the
erection of custom houses and public stores, for
future aud uuToreseeo contingencies of all coins,
including th'ise of temporacy collisions with for
ei.rii powers or :bo Indian tribes, the clear reven
ue of fifteen million- seems to cover all tbit can
be • required* for Rational Axpenscs m ordinary
-times- This sum. it will be remarked, is that e/-
titnated as the proper permanent revenue of the
'Nation by the Secretary of the Treasury iu his
■reports of the last and present year.

Deeply impressed by these considerations,The
committee have prepared a hill for reducing, and
otherwise altering the rates of duties upon foreign
merchandize, wiiich-, should'it meet with the ap
probation ef Congress, iiihy servo as a basis lor
ottr financial'system for many years.
Throwing out of view for tbc present, the pro
gressive reduction that expediency iuiu even jus
tice may require, they have fixed’ the revenue to
be ultimaieiy raised at a sum not exceeding fif
teen million. The stocks oivnad by Government, I iWmcuh
they regard solely as au effect to the remaining large wsi
debt.
_ Neuhcrjustice, nor any principle ofiiberal pol
icy, cau permit, witln.ut urgent' ueccssjty,^ that
the Post Ojjice thonld be made a. soiircO of fe-
veuue. It should bear its own Expense and no
more. Its witole profits should bti applied as
they have heretofore been, to the improvement
ami extension of the systeifr; giving the greatest
po-sihie fucilitu v at ihe lea^t possible private
charge, to the diffusion of intelligent e :.nd the in
terchange 0 f corrcspvii'vHec,
Tho onlysource of revenue on wliicli the com-
inittvc JkCr??? to rc ! y, are the 1’uxito Lands aud
tho Customs.
The PUBLIC LANDS, at tho then present
system of sale, may now bo safely calculated as
ptoducing an annual iucome of lieu millions and
a half.
It is tree that various plans for disposing of
these lands in cueli n manner as to withdraw the
proceeds from the general'funds of the Treasury,
have been proposed by the highest authority.—
The committee do not propose to outer info auy
di-ciisRou of the merit of these proposiftoas.—
Until it be altered by legislation, they most re
gard the actual system ns the set tied policy of
tho Government. * They must, however, observe,
that should that policy be changed, such altera
tion would not of necessity overthrew or disar
range the pian offinauceno.w proposal.
_ Throw ing out of account altogether, the large
suta3 expended in former venrfe by the Luited
States in a-quiriiig this territory, ci.h.-rby arms
or by purchase, together with the past expenses
of our land system, as yet unliquidated by the
proceeds of the sales, there nhj other current ex-
peu-os now defrayed from tlte goiier:.! funds of
tito Treasury which might 1 e justly « bas^eali'o
tipoh the hicoruo tram the lafids*,. should that he
made a distinct fund, and which, if mini from
tuotice, would thus far diminish me nmouat ofre-
venuc necessary to be drawn from other sourcis
Th 'se are; 1st. The expense of She Land Sjsfeiu
itself—about 230,003 dollars imuuaHy.
2d. The eXppnscs of Indian annuities, educa
tion, and qthof stipulation's arising under the trea
ties by which we have obtniued possession of
theso lands. These, wholly exclusive «d' the
charge of Indian emigration, amount at present
to 302.700 dollars a yuar, a ml will probably bo
much increased before the final extinguishment
of the Indian tide.
3d. Revolutionary Pensions. The original ti
tle of a great part of these lands arose from the
grants and releases of th-i •“ fates to tho cowfeder-
hcv for the (furjxixe of common defence aud gen-'
eral welfare, during th# war ofthe revolution, aud
they have been again and again solemnly pledged
for the debts of the nation. Tho" pensions now
received by t!»e surviving soldiers of the revolu
tion were at first granted under tho' harsh aud un-
ju\t name of national bounty. But tbo act of
1823 and that of Jo32, have now placed them on
the more sound as weH as mere constitutional
ground of payment of revolutionary debt, and an
equitable, though not literal fulfilment of Idiag,
neglected and violated contracts.
The pensions for tbip n&xt turn years will prob
ably be (for as yot the ex.ait irmounr cannot be
ascertained) about two willMsa year. .But tlii,.
sum depending upon the lives'of old men, all a-
hove seventy years of ago, niust rapi’dly doerpase,
and in a very few years cease entirely.' Should
these pensions be considered for die prcstfin ak a
chargo Upon tbe lauds, itwouldbe temporary on
ly. _ Withiu four or five years the greater’ part of
the income, and in a few-years more the whole,
would be liberated, aud at either period the sur
plus from ibis soli roe might be applied as the wis
dom of Congress/nay direct, leaving tbe revenue
from the customs sufficient for all other heads of
public expenditure.

Tho committee, 'perceiving no stiUTelcnt rc.astm-
why t!ie*6oii?umer of foreign luxuries should r.ot
pay a share of the public burthens, propose to
rtrise the rates of duty ep'insHks'nearcr to the av
erage rato < f duties imposed l.y tin; bill than tlicy
are under :bo actof 1332. They alsojirbpcsff to
Tlx a m'oi!eriitc specific duty, equal to about "20
percent on the vaitA: upoft'fe-as, wiiich were
made wholly free by the act of the hist summer.
This has bcea addwl from a motive of fmaiici;:’,:
priulciK-e, lest the -revemte from tho 'customs:
should, front any modification of tho bi.ij, or other-
vise, fall short of the cs'.imate, or the proceeds
of the public l.iuds should lie’in part diverted uf
some other source, iu which case an iurre.ascd re
venue would he derived from this source of about
703,060 dollafS, calculated on the r alter short
importnfJou 6f teas (ftiju last year. ’Should this
sum not he neeitcd for the pubUy service, it may
he repealeil without affecting the' other parts of
the system.
A detailed Uatemeul of the operatiou of the
bill has been prepared, c.ilcnlatcd upon the tn tu-
rI imports of 1331, a year of larger importation
than any former year, but whjjc/ji will, it is tboAght
not excel d the average o^fptio-c years, under the
opuratioo of a tariff such astliat now proposed-
