letter of one of our Washington correspondents. We are to have i 1st An ailJiitm ot lOO pet cent, on the duties of imposts and tonnage 1 theSecretary might as Well have said a 1000 per cent. It is the firs'; time, we believe, that tlie impost and tonnage of a time of peace, was relied' ipon to furnish supplies in titne of war. "'What i.ipost And what tonnage, excepting the tonnage of orivateers A tax wn land of all descriptions, to raise three millions. This lax we trust all farmers, who are desirous of taking Canada, vrill gladly pay.

Lastly comes mi exriae on domestic tisliried spirits, including Whiskey. All the rest of Uic taxes may be submitted to 1 but as to this, I con? fiss 1 have some doubts.

1 feur Mr. Gallatin will ioon find 4 fui est of hiskey poles rising up and bristling through all the Western country. as Gallatin lumself once officiated secretary to On insurrection nwtrng, consitinjof his particular friend and neighbors', which (heeling passed a vote not only to oppose anV officer should attempt to collect this tax, but to hold no intercourse and give no aid or comfort to any that did not join to do so also, for all which he had very nearly been hung, I say as Mr. Gallatin once acted so conspicuous a part in opposing tli is odious tax, and had like to have acted one still more conspicuous, I cannot but a little won der at his nourape in being the author himself of renewing the same tax and to a much greater a mount." Joui Atltinu come again.

Tlie Secretary of the Treasury has at last fur nished the Committee of Ways and Means, ith hi scheme offinance fur tlx new' state of things in this country, and 1 am enabled from rcjKirt, to give you a statement of it, in its general results. He recommends a loan of ten millions for the exigencies cf the present year, and calculates that a like loan will be necessary for several years to come.

As, however, he means to meet tlie extra ordinary expenditures of the government altogvth by loans, it is obvious that the yearly loan mt'tt be much larger than the sum he mentions, as Con girssbavc adopted and have others in which will create a yearly expence addition to our ordinary expenditures, of some where bctwten tventy and thirty millions. I men tion this with, a view to the taxes whitJi must be laid it leins suflicieutly obvious, that if iLc eli 1 mtCtuUStfrrtawoalctdated tncet otrly tlie Interest Un millions, tLc laies must lit in enrred in amowt to ptj the interest of a jurgcr, siim.

It will occur to you however that with a prostrate com mercc and pressed by a war the government ill not have the power to make yearly loans of 20 or even of 10 millions.

On the question ol engrossing the volunteer bill for a thiid reading, Mr. BIceckrr aeldresscd llie chair. Mr. Hrzx.KKi 'J" I am prepared to vote for tlie bill onour tables. As it is now framed it seems lo Ix wholly free from the constitutional question which lias been discussed liere for sone.

days.X Bui it appears from tlie observations just now made by tlie gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Cholson) that our votes on this bill will still have reference to that Question, and aI do not perceive that they Will show our individual impressions on 4 subject of so mach importance and interest, laVail mvsclf of this occasion, to express mg uisapprooaiioii in uic doctrine wbicli has been mainlainod with great a bilitv and imrenuitv rcspectinr the power of this irovcrnmcnt over the militiu. A power, utterly in comput ilile ith the design and prumment features of the constitution. A power, compared with wbicli the horrors of the French conscription siv meic; and dreadful as the levieo eii matte of those whom we call the tyrants of Europe; Wlien the existence of such a power in the jreiierai govern went is seriously contended fur, aiid'whci) it I tt ted 011 this floor that it is believed that tho cniel Mairbtrate of the United States, of opinion that such a power is conferred by tlnf constitution, it certainly behoves us lo exprcsfi our sentiments respecting it. When the renrieman from Shuih Carolina, (Sir Cheves) on Suttirday contended foe Jhis power, my faculties were lor a msmcnt confounded uv ur no velty and strangeness of the doslrine, the talent and mtrenuitv with winch it was urged, aiiOi; liitrh authority which as supposeel to lie in fa vou of it.

The knowledge of tlie most familiar niax ims, principles and rules of construction failed me; and to discover whether I completely misumlerstood the precisions and character of the constitution 111 relation lo the.poinl in question I left ibe house during the debute to examine that valuable commentary 011 it, ot which, it has been justly and eleminUy said that it compresses we wisdom of ages, and pours original light on the scx nce ot irovrrnmcnt. But in theieiieis 01 J'ubtiut I conld rind nothing like new exoo i After a little reflection, however, on wna' had been iireed, no arvumtnt was left ou my mind in supp'M't of this strange doctrine, but the argument aa vr enn ariom tiieauilioruy aiiuin nuence 01 name ami lale nt I hasdly know, Sir, how to make an argument on sue a subicct. It is so plain to my tmml that but for the sineular skill and ir.cTiiuiiy of. tli gentleman, (Mr. Cheves) J.

j.ouldhavc Mipposed it utterly unsusceptible of discussion. But whnt is tho round on hich he relics He savs Congress l.ave the power to declare wan Chat this xwer is national and sovereign in its na litre, thm 11 involves all tlits.co nse qttences ol war and the means of ciiirviueiton. lt us for a inoniviillook at the Constitution Is not its prominent ieature a delegation hy the States or bv the people of specifie powers to the general government tor the purpose of effecting the ends and objects of Ihe confederation These nov ers arc ciearlv and wrecisclv cehneu. Hire latkm to the s'lbject before lis, we have first, the power, to declare vnr. Ami hat does this on leT Surely; nothing more th'an the right to dc termine the oitestionof war or peace: It was in tended that this "should be 4 matter of national concern, that no state should individually engage in war, but that a subject' of such importance and general interest should belong to the lgisia ture of tlie The termi of this grant of power do not include the or nil ot carry.

The mean of camine on the war, are express ly and directly granted, xk of consequence canpot he included in ihe power to declare vur. Tl.i would be inconsistent with every rule of intrrpre tatinn ami the hole complexion of the sonstitu tion.

Why attempt to Vet any thintc by implica tion? Why resort to construction, where yau hare an trtittt erant of power I he only power cranled with respect to tnc use youcan make of the militia for warlike purposes is to broviJe for etulmtr thtin out to rrhH mvatln iou have no powers, sir, but those delegated all others are reserved to the people oruie state. With respect to the militia vou have no power but In call thesn out to execute the laws ef the Union, suppress insurrections and reprl uirasion. 1011 can comnuiul their services 111 110 other ca.cs, tor you havtt no poaer but what is expressly granted 1 he rnriit to u.c tlie militia, and to march thein out ot ihe United States tor thepuqiose ol active, ol fcnsivc war, ii not irnmted therefore ou liave no such riiiht. Can any thing in the world he plainer i It requires no argument. He that runs may read it.

lietereiicc has been made to the discussion on the question of the constitutionality of the Bai.k of the Uuilcd Stales. That subjvrt affords me an illustration of the subject now in de bate, which, if it is understood, 1 think must be satisfactory. 1' was contended bv the advocates of the Fank, thai the federal government was sovereign as to all the objects for which it was instituted, and that a sovereign power incl 11 aright to all the means applicable to the attainment of 1 he ends for which tlie power was given. The Bank was supposed to be one of these moans. But, sir, suptKise that among the powers of Congress enumerated in the Constitution, there had been a power ts incorporate a Bank fir a tpecifie ami limited pwpoe, would Cwigress have Im the rower to ii 8 itute a bank for an other purp'tse than that tpeciiied Certainly not, sir there could have been no de b.ite about cli a question.

i Case suppost ad the one before 111 are perfectly punlle l. Con gress would have had power to incorporate a bank ir the pecinc purpose, but could it have esta blished uny ctlier o.ii'K, tor any nt'ier purpnsc, or with a sphere of operation diriereiit from that pre scribed. they cn nrtiuire the servirt of he militia in the three cases, and in no Unix. But annther consideration is pressed with great confidence It is said that the power given lo Congress by the Constitution, to provide lor calliua out the militia to execif the laws of the 011x1, iiiuiicliir.i, and r.cj'el ir.va sion, has referent etrl nm ly to a slate cl peace; that the invacinn of our tcm'orv drws' not necessarily soppua sta'c of ffar. and that wri crs on iraiion.d and pnlmc Uw bli.at ol luvaujii at an event distinct rom war 1 have red.

ad an pportuniiy to 'y on the suhject but me, viranin, the. term used in the ensutu ion, 'Ls a plainXi.Tlisli word. It is possible that a losule iiicursi.hi on cur territory nnvn.it wlwavs amoM.it to or le cuitcident with a state war but invasion iiut in most Instances amon it to ar. Is it not i i'elf in alm.ist every instance a piratic uneq iivoc.il act of war It is ver, er.o.co for the lion. irab'c riitlrnian 11 slirw that iutasion mti exist nlio'it Tj b.arl i oat in this part oi" his ar imei.t he must thai rnvxwn is necessarily ami' always an'tvent distinct from and uitcomn clcil ith war fir if it niav bft coincident wtlb war, il'it cn inagycasic be "itself an.

art of ihen the wist iliuWii bus provided that in that event of a war tlie militia may be called out and having provided tnr 1 bat particular ca.se, Congress can have no' to i alt1' them out fur any other warlike 'pni poe. This part of 1 hi; arjtiuic nt on the other side tlKtvfbre wliolly fails. The power contended for is certainly Snconsist cut with the sign of the frumers of the constitution. It was mended lliat the hia'cs re uufvu in tton uti frY.nr ilk tllM rnerm sjiecified) Ihe militia as their own jculiar military force. This was wise and it is lappy tor uf.

lliatthoConstitutiwn is so A regular army alont is fu for active offensive war. he militia may be useful in repelling sudden invasions they may be the best force for suppressing insur rections ana enforcing llie cxecQUon ot the, laws; because they are less odious to tlie people than regular troops, nut sir, 11 wum dc exiretaely iu convenient, as well as incompatible w.ith tht principles of the Constitution that the general govern nnt should car on var by moans of the militia. Thy commissions of the oflicers depends on state autliwrity they msy expire 10 day or to morrow you know not when when you were out on an important expedition with your militia army, tlie authority of its officers might cease. There is an another objection The constitution provides Unit all officers who serve the United States (except in the three cases in which the militia may be' called, out) shall be appointed by the lresidcrt and Sen ate, Wot if the exposition now urged be just, and the militia inav 1C used for1 llie purpose of oCeiv sive war, Ihe United States would have officer? in their wrvice, in i'ier wars, not apjioinled by the authority to which tlie constitntion Ias given tlie right of appointment. It whs wisely provided that tlie President and Senate fWould be responsihle for the character of the officers' of the United State.

Hut, sir, the construction now tet up would ia this respect defeat this wholesome prov ision. This construction sir, is to me entirely new The opponents uf the Constitution were 4 lariried Ly the power enabling Congress to call out the militia fir lite purposes mentioned in the constitution. They complained that it was yryhanl that Congress" should have pow er to order the militia from i.ie extre initv of the union to the other execute the laws or suppress insurrections.
