JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN
coupled together in his recommendation lo Con
gress at the extra session? If there was no af
finity between the parties, why did he join them
together? If the Union was illegitimate, who
was the administering priest of the unhallowed
rites? It is objected to this bill that it is both
a revenue and an appropriation bill. What
hen? Is not the act of September 4, 1841 , ap
proved and signed by the President himself,
both- a revenue and an appropriation bill?
Does it not enact that in the event of an insuf
ficiency of impost duties not exceeding 20 per
ent. ad valorem, lo defray the current expenses
-of the Government, the proceeds of the sales
of the lands shall be levied as part of the same
revenue, and appropriated to the same purposes?
The appropriation of the proceeds of the sales
of the public lands to defray the ordinary expen
ditures of the Government is believed to bo a
system of fiscal management unwise, impolitic,
improvident, and unjust; and it is precisely for
that reason that the bill now before the House
provides that they shall not be so appropriated.
The public lands are the noble and inapprecia
ble inheritance of the whole nation. The sale
of them to individuals is not a tax upon the pur
chaser, but an exchange of equivalents scarcely
more burdensome to the grantee than if he
should receive it as a gratuitous donation. To
appropriate the proceeds of the sales to defray
ihe ordinary expenses of the Government is to
waste and destroy the property. This proper
ly is held by Congress in trust. Mr. Tyler
speaks of the distribution as if it was giving
away the properly. It is precisely the reverse.
It is restoring it to the owner. To appropriate
ihe proceeds to defray the current expenditures
is to give it up to dilapidation and waste. It is
in political economy precisely the same as if an
individual landholder should sell off, year after
year parcels of his estate, and consume its pro
ceeds in payment of his household expenses.
The first principle of political economy neces
sary for a nation is to raise by taxation within
the" year the whole sum required for ihe expen
ditures of that year. Every departure from this
principle is a step in the path of national bank
ruptcy and ruin. The daily demands of the
Treasury must be supplied by the income de
rived from taxation by the year, and not by the
-dissipation of the common property.
The second reason of the President for ob
jecting to the passage of this bill is not more
ponderous than the first. It is the destitute and
embarrassed stale of the Treasury, and the im
policy, if not unconstitutionality, of giving away
a fruitful source of revenue, which if retained
may bo seized by the Government and applied
to meet its daily wants. But the President had
just told us that this fruitful source of rovenue
was a subject wholly dissimilar in its character
from that of revenue raised by duties of impost
so dissimilar that the union of them formed
in ms tmna an msurmoumaoie uojecuuu iu uiu
passage of the bill. "I most respectfully sub
mit (says the message) whether this is a time
io give away the proceeds of the land sales,
when the public lands constitute a fund which
of all others may be made most useful in sus
taining the public credit." And how could it
be made thus useful? Precisely by giving them
away. By giving them away forever! For if
the principle be once established that the pro
ceeds of the sales of the public lands shall be
substituted in the place of revenue by taxation
to defray the ordinary annual expenses of the
National Government, never more will the peo
ple of any State in this Union have the benefit
of one dollar from this richest of mines of inex
haustible wealth, bestowed upon them by their
bountiful Creator for the improvement of their
own condition. But given away yes, to the
last cent given away, forever, to pamper the
reckless extravagance of a Government forever
preaching retrenchment and economy, and for
ever heaping million upon million of annual ex
penditures "to suckle armies and dry nurse the
land."
The committee submit to the House their un
hesitating opinion that the appropriation of any
part of the proceeds of the sales of public lands
to the ordinary annual expenditures would be the
only effectual and irretrievable giving away of
that great and inestimable inheritance of the
American People. That, if once that growing
and inexhaustible fund shall be doomed to form
the whole or any pari of the ways and means for
the annual estimates of the receipts and expen
ditures of the National Government, the People
may bid farewell, a long farewell, to every hope
of ever receiving a dollar's useful improvement
from that gift of God to them, thus cruelly and
perfidiously wrested from their hands.
Nineteen of the States of this Union, in the
ardent, perhaps, in some cases, inconsiderately
ardent, pursuit of this improvement of their own
condition, have become involved, some of them
heavily involved, in debt. The greatest portion
of this debt has been contracted for the accom
plishment of stupendous works to expedite and
facilitate the intercourse of travel and of trade
between the remotest extremes of this great Re
public, swarming, from year to year, with, re
doubling millions of population. It is no exag
jjpraK'd estimate of the value of these works to
say, that the saving of time, of labor, and of ex
pense to individual citizens of the Union, enjoy
ing the benefit of these public works, more than
repays, in every single year, the whole cost of
their construction.
But, while these immense benefits hare Been
thus secured ta the people, as a community of
individuals, the States which authorized them
have contracted a burden of liabilities heavier
than they are able lo bear. They jieed the as
sistance of a friendly and powerful hand, and
where should they find it but in the sympathies
of the Natioual Government? in their fidelity to
the trust committed to their charge in this im
mense and' almost boundless public domain?
The application of the proceeds of the public
lands to alleviate the burthen of these debts
pressing upon the peopleof almost all ihje
States, is, if not the only, the most unexception
able mode of extending the mighty arm of the
Union to relievo the people of the States from
the pressure of the burthen bearing upon them
a relief consisting only of the distribution
among them of their own property a relief fur
nishing them the means of paying to the Uni
ted Stales themselves no inconsiderable portion
of tho debts due from the Slates to them; so that
by one and the same operation the People of
the States will be received from the intolerable
pressure of their debt, and the common Treas
ury of tho Union will receive back in payment
of debt no small part of tho same sums allotted
lo the States as iheir respective portions of the
distribution.
The committee regret that the shortness of
the time which they have allowed themselves
for the preparation of this report constrains them
to pass over numerous other considerations
amounting to the clearest demonstration that
tho distribution among the States of the pro
ceeds of tho sales of the public lands will be
infinitely more conducive to the ends of justice
and to the relief of the People from their em
barrassments, than the devotion of the same
funds to be swallowed up in the insatiate gulph
of ihe ordinary annual expenses of tho Federal
Government to perish in the using, like the
nine millions of the fourth instalment promised
to the Slates, the seven or eight millions of
slock in the Bank of the United States, and the
five or six millions of Indian trust and Navy
pension funds, all sunk, during the Van Buren
Administration, without leaving a wreck behind.
This review of the reasons of the President
for objecting lo the passage of the bill might be
extended far more into detail, and all leading to
tho conclusion that ihey are feeble, inconsis
tent, and unsatisfactory. It remains only for
the House to take, by yeas and nays, the ques
tion upon the final passage of the bill, and as
the majority of the committeo cannot indulge,
even hypothetically, the absurd hope of a ma
jority either in this or the other House of Con
gress competent to the enactment of the bill in
to a law, they leave the House to determine
what further measure they may deem necessa
ry and practicable by the legislative authority
in the present calamitous condition of the
country.
They perceive that the whole legislative
power of the Union has been for the last fifteen
months, with regard to the action of Congress
upon measures of vital importance, in a state
of suspended animation, strangled by tho five
times repealed stricture of the Executive cord.
They observe that, under these unexampled
obstructions to ihe exercise of their high and
legitimate duties, they hare hitherto preserved
ihe most respectful forbearance towards the
Executive chief; that whilo he has, time after
time, annulled by the mere act of his will their
commission from the Peoplo to enact laws for
the common welfare, they have forborne even
the expression of their resentment for these
multiplied insults and injuries they believed
they had a high destiny to fulfil, by administer
ing to the People in the form of law remedies
for the sufferings which they had loo long en
dured. The will of one man has frustrated all
their labors and prostrated all their powers.
The majority of the Committee believe that
the case has occurred in the annals of the Uni
on, contemplated by the founders of the Consti
tution by the grant to the House of Representa
tives of the power to impeach the President of
the United States; but they are aware that the
resort lo lhat expedient might, in the present
condition of public affairs, prove abortive. They
see that the irreconcilable difference of opin
ion and of action between the Legislative and
Executive Departments of the Government is
but sympathetic with the same discordant views
and feelings among the People. To them
alono the final issue of the struggle must be left.
In the sorrow and mortification under the fail
ure of their labors to redeem ihe honor and
prosperity of their country, it is a cheering con
solation to them that the termination of their
own official existence is at hand; that they are
even now about to return to receive the sentence
of their constituents upon themselves; that the
legislative power of the Union, crippled and
disabled as it may now be, is about lo pass,
renovated and revivified by tho will of the Peo
plo, into other handsj upon whom will devolve
the task of providing that remedy for the public
distempers which their own honest and agoni
zing energies have in vain endeavored to supply.
The power of the present Congress to enact
laws essential to the welfare of the people has
been struck with apoplexy by the Executive
hand. Submission to his will is the only con
dition upon which he will permit them to act.
For the enactment of a measure earnestly re
commended by him&elf he forbids their action
unless coupled with a condition declared by him
self, to be on a subject so totally different that
be will not suffer them ta be coupled in the
same law. With that condition Congress can
not comply- In this stato of things he has as
sumed, as the Committee fully believe, the ex
ercise of the whole legislative power to- him
self, and is levying millions of money upon the
people without any authority of law.
But the final decision of this question depends
neither upon legislative nor executive, but upon
judicial authority, nor can the final decision of
the Supreme Court upon it be pronounced bo
fore the close of the present Congress. In tho
mean lime, the abusi ve exercise of the constitu
tional power of the President to arrest the action
of Congress upon measures vital to the welfare
of the people, has wrought conviction upon tho
