plies of breadstillb to Europe caused such a
heavy balance in our favor, even,though4t did
increase our imports from the very douse alto—

When it is remembered that a very largo
N;
hen
of the citizens of this country are
t , ,,engaged in the business of farruidg f and bow -
much of the permanent wealth and 'true glory
of the republic depends on thew well being and
prosperity, it would seem to be the dictate of .
enlightened selfishness, as well as a duty of pa
potriotism, so to mouldwf possible, the laws
regulating tradt. and revenue, us to turnish for
'them at home a permanent market with remu
nerating prices. As no such market can be
found abroad, it may well suggest the inquiry
whether the legislation in providing, ul neeesi
ty; for revenue, shill) nut, by encouraging a di
versity, of employment in our owii country,
secure the ugly solo and sure Minket- for our
farming preductiens which can be obtained.
The policy herd suggested is strengthened by
-a comparison o 1 the value and amount of the
home as compared with .ffieforeign market. It
lies been estimuted lim i t Our consumption of
• food, raiment, furniture, ssc., is about $lOO for
each individual. 01 this sum from $6 to. $7,
as shown hy - statetrient, areal foreign produc
tions, which, say at $6 50 per head, would re
quire an importation of about $150,00,000.
It will at once appear how insignificant 11118 a
mount is when compared with the amount of
home products consumed. Upon the basis of
$lOO per head, the foreign production furnish
..—es..B6,so per head, or, in .rho aggregate, $150,-
000,000 , the residue, or $92 50 each, requiree
annually the sum of about 100,000,000 to be
supplied by our own industry. ...-"c'
By reference to table it will be seen that our
average cumsumption of imports per head, for
thirty years, has been $5 94. Any material over
that average, us in the years 1835-6, and 1839,
has been surely followed by the most disastrous
•. results. The imports of the past year have
been exceeded in amount only by the year
1836 ; and if the official figures could be made.
to represent the true cost of the imports of the
former year, even 1836 would, it is believed,
not be an exception. The imports of the first
`civarter of the present year 13110.W.110 iticrease•of..
more. than 618,000,00 U over the corresponding
quarter of lest year, itnikating an importation
for the current year, greater, by many millions,
' than the imports of any 'previous one, and a
consumption per head proportionably larger,
whilst the markets abroad indicate no ruespect
of an increasethdetnned fer our exports. •
These exports, as already staled, consist
principally of articles 01 necessity, and nearly
all of them raw materials in their crudell
state, and if. we therefore wish to occupy the
place among commercial natims that our ad
vantages of position and our vast resources
warrant, we must greatly increase rho amount
of those exports. This can only be done by an
. increase of manafncturea. - During the past
-year our exports of cotton have amounted to
$71,984,616, while of domestic cotton menu
lectures we have exported only to the 'extent
of $4,734,424, and Jeri.% the same period the
importation ut cotton manufactures entered fur
consumption, have amounted at the foreign val
uation to 899,685,926.
The exports of cotton from the United Stites
exceed in importance those of any raw mate ,
riot exportedfrom any other country, - and.at
the pi esent lime it is our only export that, is
essential. to any other nation ;.but is, believed
to he a mistakem.poliey for ally nation to seed
its raw materials' to distant countries, to be
manufactured into fabrics for its owe use.
'Possessing, this most useful staple in abun
dance, and of the best quality, we ought great

ourselves a portion of the pram which other..

bo netessmy for other nations, exchange them

present system, the gold. obtained from ,our
mines will soon be exhausted in paying for ex
cessive Imporiations.
With.a profound eviction of their truth, I
repent the opinion and words of my predecesot .
on this vital subject, in his annual-communlpa
tion to Congres's at the lastadaideni "All history
shows that where aro the workshops oldie
world, there must be 'the marts of the world,
and the heart of wealth, commerce and power."
It has'bgeri shown by the experience of sev
eral years, that the average rate of dul.Ms
im
posed by the present revenue laws is twenty-',
three per cent, upon too foreign value. of our
importti,- including free as well as dutiable
goods.
During the last fiscal Ye'nr;'we imported of
merchandise, including specie, $1.78,136,318,•
and we exported, of domestic products, foreign
,898,720,.1eaving a bal
ance against as of 06,247,596. "
A large proportion of this balance Inns doubt.
lees been paid by our domestic stocks, which
find a ready sale at this thus in_European mar
kets. These last, however, as they only post
pone a present payment in coin, cannot bo ex
pected to liquidate similar balances ,in coming
weirs, siren if it were the wish of ,the govern- I
meet to meats a largo, foreign debt 'of thiel.l
_lad. 110 Imp_olic,y_of such a measure_ivill_
not be questioned, and it is doubtless-the true
interest of the country to avoid it. .
In regulating our commerce with foreign na
, lions, we are therefore compelled to take, as
the true basis of safe importation froirmillcoun
tries, the amount of our own products, which I
we may reasonably calculate may find a mar-
It et abroad
It is certain that the increased ability of thin
country to consume- foreign goods will at this
time safely admit a larger importation than in
former years; yet the experience of the past
year ban shown that our imports have been
greatly beyond our exports,which last must be
regarded as the true measure of our ability to
consume, for any given number of years.
If upon the large importations of the past
year .the increase should continue at the same
ratio as that, of the past quarter, which, as al
ready stated, is $18,000,000, the aggregate a
mount for the current fiscal year ending 30th
June, 1851, will not fall much'short of $250,-
000,000. A sinvev of,the markets of the
world, it is believed, furnishes no reason to ex
pect that our exportatioilS' Will exceed those of
last year, which we have. , seen wore a fraction
less than 152 millions. This would leave on
the trade of the current fiscal year, with fq.
reign- countries, an ' alarming balance,.
.which could not fail to be felt' In results fatal
to all branches of business at home, and highly
injurious. to the revenue of succeeding years.
These considerations forced by the existing
state of things upon the earnest attention of
this Department, are submitted to the wisdom
of Comrs„ss In the belief that' they present
reaSoniTeT ale most imperative character for a
modification df the present revenue laws. The
large prospective importations should be check.
ed by a higher rate of duties, 50 as to. bring
the aggregate amount within the limits of our
capability to pay. if the exports of the last
year define that limit, then our imports for the
ensuing year should not greatly exceed $152,-
000,000.
IL is believed, however, that we may calcu
late safSly upon an.export of gold, for several
years to - come; of at least from ten to fifteen
millions annually, exClusiVe . of what goes a
broad, direct from California, without any
detrimental effect upon the currency or busi
ness-of our people. The supply of this metal
from our own mines may at present be estima
ted at $50,000,000 annually, including that
sent directly from California to other countries,
- and - this supply, it is treffe:ved, will not be likely
.to diminish is amount for the twit two or three
year 3.
If then, we can afford to spare thisemount of
;the precious_ metals, 40 payment of foreign
merchandise, it may bo fairly assumed that our
exports, including all-articles, will be equal to
about one hundred andaixty.tive millions, sup•
posing always the - trade - of thii -- world to remain
unaffected by any disturbing causes. in lho o•
poison of this Department it would be unsafe
to assume an amount of imports as a basis up
on which to levy duties for revenue beyond this
latter sum.
If the present rates of duties be applied to
that amount, we should receive from Customs
only 637,950,000, and the amount of revenue
required for the present and succeeding years,
would fall short of the estimates for the cur
rent your, by a fraction over seven millions.
It cannot.be doubled that a rate of duty
higher on many articles Milli that paid by the
present law might be established without af
fectmg injuriously tho revenue. The extraor
dinary influx of foreign awn:Morlist, for the
last year and the first mlarter — ol the present
one must be regarded as conclusive proof that
an increase of Julies, so as to advance the a
mount of revenue seven millions on the same
auiouht of imports, is entirely practicable.
That such increase will be found necessary .
to the demands of the treasury, is believed to
be beyond doubt, unless Congress shall discon
tinue many of the objects of expenditures
which ori k onated m our recent teritorial acqui
sitions, uud this, in the opinion of the Depart
ment, would be equally impolitic and unjust.
Id - regoing emisrderatluils, the — De- - I
purtruent would submit the following modifica•
• tions of our present revenue laws :
I. A change in the present ad valorem sys
tem, which should impmm specific duties on all
articles, to_which_sucb.dutteama,Y.heflafelY 41t
plied, with home valuation upon all such as are
necessarily subject to ad valorem rates. _
11. II the principle of specific duties shall
not be adopted, that the home tialuatidiOnstedd s
of the foreign, shead limn be applied' to all ,
imports eut)Jeet to ad valorem duties.
111. 11 neither 01 the toregolitg changes
shall be thought proper, then it Is deemed high
ly necessary t h at the present rates of dutie . B
should be incre,,sed on a great variety of arti
cles a hien it will he bound could bear such in
crease with the most salotai y affects upon both ,
trade and revenue..
Either of the two first modifications , sugges
ted above would undoubtedly correct Many ' of
tile inequalities of the present system, place
nil impurthrs, whether purchasers or manufac
tures, on equal grounds in respect to, valuation
for duty, guard therevenue against the flagrant
fraudi, which are'sooasily perpetrated under
existing laws, and insure stability and perina•
vent increase of the revenue. They are there
fore earnestly commended to the favorable con
sideration of Congress.
In'any systeM it is believed that experience
has settled the true policy to be pursued ih '
several particulars which enter into our system
of revenue laws, Among these . are that all
raw material should be admitted at a moderate
rate of duty, when assessed at all, that all non- .
enumerated articles should be assessed at high
er rates of duty than the average of manillas.
lured at ticlea, and that all articles composed of
the some material should pay in general the
same ratesof duty. •
• In order to insure uniformity in :l the business
of the custom-houses, and equality in the vat
' nations under any system, I earnestly recom
rimed the creation of a corpse of appraisers at
large, whose duty it shall be to visit the princi

Another Fugitive Stave.
We learn by the Philadelphia papers ofMon
day that.a young colored-tan calling himself
Adam Gibson, was arrested by three white
men on Saturday on the pretended allegatioq
of stealing chickens, but really as a fugitive
slave. He was taken before E. D. Ingrahamt
Esq.", U. S. Commissioner;by whom he was in:
RrurieWat he was arrested as afugitive from
labor, am' that it was alleged his name was
Emery Rico, and that ho was the property of
Wm. -fiiiight, of Cecil county, ltld. A matron
was made to pogtpone the cane until ltiontlay,
but the commissioner observed that tho lair in
relative to the case, required the matteitto be
proceeded with in a summary manner, and that
the examination must go on at once. Further
attempts were made to postpone the case, but
the Coinmisslonerflecided that a proper adhe
rence to the spirit of ihelaw•would not permit
nor allow of any postponement.
After a hearin of flit evidence the commis-
:toner ce are nurse salts e - that -the ac
cused was the person claimed, and that the
fight of the master was established. Ho ()eel
ided that he should be delivered up to the a
erit.aTtlie TllO proper piffiers were
made out and he Was given in custody of the
representative of Mr. Knight. No disorder
was manifested, and no attempts to rescue or
distarb the peace made. The, accused was re•
moved without any tronble in time to be pladeil
in the cars for Baltimore at the depot at Elev
enth and Market streets, and was einveyealAW`
Maryland. 'Throughout the whole pro‘deedings
ho appeared unconcernea he " reehilt, and
on one occasion at least, 3 might have: ,

CbtWe, but has not obtained his orders yet. Mr.
Hulsemann ,ifte - Cfiiirge from Austria, it is al
so said, acts as if there was mischief brewing.
Independently - Of these intimations, we have
similar hints from other quarters.
Rumor says there is a flare up between the'
American Secretary of State and Mr. Hulse
man n ; that the latter has been deincaning, him
self discourteously, in consequence of the hind
treatment we have given the Hungavip„reir;

Mr. McCurdy-11'111 not be in,tructed to go out
of the country until Mr. Hulsemann renders
something of an apology for hard, 1 d harsh
mirth ; and that these are the causeiof lne de.
lay.
Mr. bass indirectly alluded to lids ilifficully
in some remarks made on Wednesday, in 's tha
