DISTRIBUTION 10 withdraw from the public treasury the proceeds ol the public lands and dsir bute them, is one of he modes oi taking from the many to give 10 iew-to take from the industrious to be squandered by the idle and to take from the poor to bestow upon lhe rich

 Iftwenty millions o dollars, say fifteen, from rev enue on imports, and five from revenue lands be proper 10 be expeHded by Government for the common benefit oi the people, and the revenue from lands be distributed, then third higher duties on imports must be paid by the people to produce the necessary amouni ofrevenue for the of Gov crnment, and should the people's abilities to buy | aud consume in quantity of imports much al lhelr enhanced value as previously, be mol increased then still higher of duties in proportion 10 the fall

 ing of in the quantity of consumption would be required.

 The chief expense of the Government in the army, navy md cyIl list, is for the protection iproperty and vel property is mol taxed to pay any part of the expense, which exemps the rich from pa, ing any

 more for he support ol Government than the duties he imports they consume, and they being of lle finer kind, discriminating very How, while the duties what the poor and ihe great producing class consume are dscrlminaied very gh;-by o hich those VI ith families, who have to give some daii, personal service in reiurn for their of support, bS consuming moIe of the hish taxed or cDInnoaer k.nds oi imports, ci their substitutes in the place oi those pi iolibed, pay much mere ior tue protection oi others property, than those others pay themselves Every increase ui duty on articles m general use is an increase oi the uslce that prevails; and every appr'prlainn oi tie public mon ey not necessary to discharge he necessary expen- ses of the Government is an nppropriati Of op- precision the tax paying people, thus dospolled of theIr earnings. If the proceeds of the public lands be distributed to the States, and the States apply them to their debts, or for any other use to which property would be liable to be taxed, here would be another case o exempling property and throwing the ourlhen oi | taxation on consumption, and using the General Government as an exc,seman to make up from the crums of food and clothing of the poor, what is talk en from the treasury to the property of the ch. g-

 If the proceeds of the public lands be surplus in the treasury, then the great producing class should send men to Congress with orders to reduce the dutles on consumption to the amount Of the sur plus, as being the only equitable way of making a distribution of it, and the only just way of difusing its benefits.

 For the payers of duties to authorise thelr Con. gressional agents to distribute or otherwise mlsap ply any part of the public funds, would be equivalent to employing them at eighl dollars day, besides stealages of letter frankins, &c.,, to fper away so much of the hard earnings oi industry. in paying sa lares to officers in it's disbursements, and per- haps on projects useless to the tax payers who make up the sun distributed without ever receiving cent worth of the distribution.

 To withdraw from the industrious theIr earnings to be dlstrbuted by which the iale, ?rodigal, fpecu iating, and others who are very shy of producing any thing valuable either to themselves or the pulp lie, may become possessed of products Of industry without labor, is measure runous to the body pol itic, (sayng nothing of the high handed tyranny, robbery, or whatever else it may be caled) mas much sS t s promoter ol idlspees and destroyer
