On this motion, Mr. Montgomery addressed the House nearly as follows Mr. Chairman—Before 1 enter into a com parison of the amendment proposed with the original 1 deem it proper to remark, that I de sign to bring into view not only the bill now under consideration, but also the bill for lay a direct tax on the people ofthe United States: I believe ibis will be correct, as the whole has generally been considered and spoken of as one entire system, and as the bearing of the a mendment will thereby be the better under stood. Sir, I am as deeply impressed with the necessi ty of adopting some system of internal taxa tion as any member of this House 1 believe the fate of this nation rests upon it; without it public credit will sink, and the energies of the nation be paralized and disordered But, sir, with the necessity, lam strong ly impressed with the importance of so mo difying the system as that it may operate justly upon the different portions of the states respectively that it may not be in the power of whole counties or sections of a state to say in truth, that we are unjustly burthened in comparison with our fellow’ citizens. Under these impressions and with the most firm belief that the bill under consideration, taken in con- nection with the bill iay®hg a direct tax on the United States, as they now stand, will operate unjustly on many portions of our common coun try unless the amendment which I have propos ed, or one similar thereto is adopted. I say, sF, the injustice will be gross and flagrant, throw ing on particular counties and sections of the country a much larger portion of the public burthens than according to the principles ofjus tice they ought to bear. That the people ought to contribute in a just proportion to their wealth for the support of the goverment, according to the specie stand ard, is a proposition having on my mind, some thing like the force of a mathematical axiom; it is most certainly true in theory, but I will admit that precise and exact justice is not to be attained in reference to the subject of taxation but this admission will not go to prove, that because we cannot come at com plete and exact justice under a correct princi ple of taxation, that we ought to abandon all just theory and resort to principles in them selves unjust and absurd As well might it be contended, that because inaccuracies will a rise in the admeasurement of Land under those mathematical principles applicable to the art of surveying, from the unevenness of ground, mistakes of chainmen and the wrong use of instruments, that we ought to abandon the art, although perfectly true in theory and producing nearly a just result, and resort to guessing. Let us now test the bill under consideration with the bill laying a direct tax and apportion ing the same among the several states and coun ties, by the principle which I have stated. The direct tax bill not only assigns to each slate its quota, but it goes on to assign to the several counties in each state respectively their quota or portion of the state’s quota in doing this the committee of ways and means have proceed ed upon two distinct principles the one the principle of taxation according to certain of the state revenue laws, applicable to states where revenue is paid into the state treasury for state purposes, taking the amount so paid by each county as the data of the present apportion ment making the quota of each county bear thesame proportion to the state’s quota ofthe di rect tax as the tax of such county bears to the whole revenue of the state; the other a principle drawn from a comparison of the valuations of the year 1799 with the census ofthe year 1800 and the census of the ye r 1810, taking the numbers of each county as the data of the ap portionment and taking it as true that population and wealth since the year 1799 has increased in the same ratio. The first of these principles has been applied to Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginis, North Ca rol ns, South Carolina, Georgia, Ohio and Ken tucky The second has been applied to New- Hamphire, Rhode Island, Vermont, New York Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Ido not pretend to an intimate acquaintance with the revenue laws of all the states, to. which the first principle has been applied but I have by enquiry obtained such information respecting several of them as has convinced me that they are unjust; that the main princi ple of them is taxation by quantity and num bers without regard to the specie value. In the state of Kentucky, the revenue law divides the lands for taxation into three rates, first, second and third, according to the fertility of the soil of the greater part of each tract; and each hundred acres^of the same rate, pays the same amount of tax be the specieivalue what it may no regard is bad to the increased value arising from contiguity to commercial towns, high ways or navigable waters it is a truth in rela tion to that state, that lands in some sections bear to others the proportion of three to one in spesie value, and yet the same tax is paid under the #tate revenue law. The revenue law of that state is obviously unjust, and as the apportionment ofthe direct tax among the se veral counties is bottomed on that law as data, or the criterion of apportionment, it must be also unjust. The principle as applied to Vir ginia, I believe is at least as exceptionable ac cording to the ravenue taws of that state, some twenty or thirty years past, the lands were di vided into four clases; the lands binding on the tide waters were placed in the first class and made to pay the highest taxes; the region adjacent in the second class extending to the blue ridge; the third class between the blue ridge and the Alleghany; and the fourth be yond the Alleghany, and the tax made to de crease in an arbitrary proportion as the class receded from the first. To my mind this sys tem of taxation is grossly unjust, first, because, it regards not the enhanced value arising from convenience to great leading roads, navigable rivers, and fertility of soil; and secondly, be cause it regards not the changes in specie value, produced by the progress of population and cultivation. The Virginia system is un just in itself, and the apportionment among the several counties of that state dependent Upon it must be- unjust. But if the apportionment among the counties of Kentucky and Virginia, dependent upon the revenue laws of those states, are exceptionable for their injustice; in those states where something has* been done for the purpose of advancing towards the specie value—what shall we say of North Carolina Sc Tennessee; in the states last mentioned, ac cording to the revenue laws every hundred acres ofland pays thesame tax; it is perfectly taxation according to quantity without regard to value; and 1 believe 1 may venture to assert, that in the state of Tennessee counties may be selected the lands of which, upop an average valuation compared with others upon the like valuation, woaid bear the proportion of five to one. In North Carolina 1 know not that the disproportion is so extremely great, but have no doubt from the nature of things that it must be great. An apportionment bottomed upon tiie revenue laws of the states last mentioned, must strike every person as being monstrously unjust. With respect to the other states to which the principle under consideration has been applied, I will say nothing, but have no doubt it wid operate unjustly. here is one consideration in relation to this principle which ought not to escape notice, it is that the i jus tice ofthe apportionment depending upon the injustice of the state revenue laws is increased in the proportion that the state’s quota is great er than the revenue raised under the state laws, which in some of the states is nearly as three to one. With respect to those states where the prin ciple of apportionment has been drawn from a comparison of the assessments of 1799, with he population of 1800 and 1810, in which it is assumed as true, that population and wealth since iheyear 1800 have increased in the same ratio, I will say but little, not being intimate ly acquainted with the internal situation of those states to which it has been applied but I cannot refrain from remarking, that f view it as a very fallacious standard. How often does it happen in the settling of new counties that there is a great and sudden increase of popula tion in particular districts, by emigrations from others without a correspondent increase of wealth. This I believe may have very probably happened in the frontier parts of New-York Pennsylvania in the time between 1800 and 1810. 1 know such an increase has taken place in Kentucky as would have rendered it monstrous ly, cruelly unjust, to have applied the princi ple to many of t.'ie counties there. I cannot hesitate to cone’ ule, that in many ofthe states the principle will operate unjustly; it is in truth but guessing at the sum to be raised on each county, for no man can know that it is any thing like a correct .standard. Sir, the want of uniformity in the principle by which the apportionments have been made,is to my mind of itself a ground of objection to the system in its present form it is certainly desirable that a single principle which would probably produce a just result in i ts operation upon our wide extended country should be ap plied we could not then be charged with partiality or a disregard to the interests of any portion. Local dissensions would be prevent ed. Another objection to the system in its pre sent form is the repugnance of thaparts. The bill for the assessment and collection of direct taxes, contains in express terms the principle, that all direct taxes shall be assessed upon the value of lands, houses, lots of ground with their improvements, and slaves the very prin ciple I have contended for; and the bill laying a direct tax makes an arbitrary and unjust ap portionment among the several counties in each state, without regard to the value ofthe pro perty upon which it is laid. Having offered my remarks to shew the in justice, want of uniformity and repugnance of the system in its present form, I will proceed to shew the effect ofthe amendment, which I have proposed The amendment proposes to proceed upon the principle of taxation according to the specie value, and defers the apportionment among the respective counties in each state until the valu-. ations are m 'de it provides for the appoint ment of an officer, whose duty it shall be to collect all the valuations in bis state, and as certain as a mere matter of arithmetical calcu lation, the quota of the several counties and the per centum necessary to be collected to make such quota: it contains several other provisions deemed by me necessary to carry the main principle into complete operation and provides for cases of transferred property. I will not say that exact justice will in all cases be done 1 believe that some injustice may be done by the frauds of assessors, but not to be drawn into comparison with the monstrous injustice of the present apportion^ ments. The amendment in its main principle I know to be theoretically just and that it har monizes with an important principle of the bill already stated and which has formed the basis of my reasoning: the details I am not anxious about, gentlemen may change them probably for better. That objections my be stated against the a mendment which I have proposed I have nr doubt, I have heard some, but will not now anticipate and meet them, If the amendment proposed is adopted, the 15th and 16th sec tions ofthe bill tor the assessment and collec tion of direct taxes will be stricken out, and also alt the sections of the bill laying a direct tax, which apportions the same among the several counties in each state. Mr. Montgomery subsequently spoke ’n reply to observations of other gen tiemen, nearly as follows Mr. Chairman—-When I opened the discus sion on the admendment under consideration I endeavored by alb the arguments which pre sented themselves to my mind, to evince the injustice of the system of taxation so far as regards the apportionment of the direct tax in this 1 have been much aided by several gentlemen from Virginia, who have by refer ence to several counties shewn the injustice of its operation and by a gentleman from New Hampshire, shewing that a single county in that state will according to the apportionment pay seven thousand dollars or thereabouts more than its just portion; and by a gentleman from New York, who has shewn that the city and county of New York will pay from seventy to eighty thousand dollars more than its just proportion of the state’s quota. Still further to expose the injustice and ab surdity of the-system, I will enamine the sub ject in reference to the valuation of houses in Kentucky and some of the other states. In the states of Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, and in short I believe in nearly the whole of the states, houses are not taxed undei the revenue law; in the system which we pro pose toadopt houses are to be valued and taxed; the just operation of the tax upon houses would be the lessening the tax upon all other sub jects of taxation thro ghout the state in the proportion which the value of the hoases bore to the value of all the other subjects of taxation; .but. this is not i’ s effect under the present appor tionment; thevalue of die houses extends not be yond the limits of the county in which theystand. The consequence of this is that landholders in different counties of the same fertility, will pay sums different in amount, on account of the higher s*ate of improvement in some counties than others and it will'be in almost every in stance land of less specie value paying a high er tax than land of greater value. Is this just, is it politic’ I think it certainly is not. Was it for this purpose that states have been subdi vided into counties I take it that it was not, I have supposed that it was for die conveni ence of the administration of justice, &c. and not that by encircling the richest lands and the most val able improvements within the lines of a county, the value of those lands and improve ments were to be lost to a certain degree in the estimation of taxation; 1 will now proceed to reply to the most pro minent arguments advanced against the amend ment which I have proposed and in support of the bills in their present condition. It is ob jected to the amendment, that the assessors with a view to favor their own districts will undervalue i he property, and thereby lessen the amount of taxes. To this 1 answer, first, that it is not to be presumed, because they will act under the sanction of an oath; secondly, t’ own individual interest will be so incoAs' rable as to affb.rd no temptation; 3dly, that it is as probable that one will do it as another, and if the whole do so, the general result may be the s; me as though they bad v hied honestly 4thiy, this is an evil which mry per chance happen, but according to the present apportionments the injustice must happen. sthly. If this injustice should happen in some small degree, under principles just in them selves, it is what ever has happened from the foliy or fraud of ministerial officers; it may be ..scribed to the imperfections of human nature, and we cannot be held responsible for it; but if the gross injustice is produced which must result from the present apportionments, we alone are responsible and it may be an awful responsibility. It has been objected, that the amendment will increase the expenses of the system. 1 admit that it may eventuate in a small additional ex pense, perhaps 4 or 5000 dollars in the U. S. but can this be opposed to the gross injustice of the apportionments, by which single coun ties will pay thousands more than their just; portions of the tax. Is a little expense to be saved by doing the most flagrant injustice Away with it—it is absurd to speak of the difference in the expense. It has been very emphatically objected, that a new officer is to be created with vast pow ers. Those who have urged this certainly do not understand the amendment; for by looking into it, jt will be seen that those vast powers consist of the power and duty of riding to the
Page 3
principal assessors to collect the-r certificates of the valuations in the respective counties to ascertain the quotas of the counties by the principles of arithmetic and to certify the same to the assessors. Vast! —immense pow ers It has been objected to the amendment, that it would procrastinate the collection of the re venue. It is true that if the bill contained no section for postponement, that the plan of the amendment would require about 20 days long er to carry it into operation; but certainly this delay ought not to urge us into an unjust apportionment. But if my amendment is a dopted, and a majority of the committee take the same view of the subject which I consider as politic, the part containing the principle of postponement will be stricken out. Gentlemen talk strangely indeed, when they speak of the importance of expedition, and are at the same time in favor of postponing the operation of the revenue laws for five or six months without anv reason. But there is a cure for all the injustice of the apportionments, say gentlemen, in the power vested in the state legislatures to alter the same. To this I answer, first, that 1 cannot pee the correctness of doing injustice and trusting to others to correct it; it is very un certain whether the state legislatures will in terfere—it is in a word leaving the matter to chance. In the second place, I doubt the con. stitutionality of transforing this subject to the «tate legislatures, and will find considerable difficulty in voting for the bill until it is strip ped of this provision. It is a matter of impor tance with me to get clear of it It has been said that we ought to adopt the present plan as a temporary one, that the valu ations under it will be just and that upon them we can build a most perfect system, upon them y/e can make a just apportionment. How strangely, how inconsistently gentlemen argue when speaking of the valuations as they relate to the amendment, they are to be unjust and made so with a view to lessen the quota of par ticular counties; but when it is necessary to find an apology for present injustice, the valu ations are to be just. In the same breath it blows hot and cold. I have now examined all the objections urg ed against the amendment, and can find noth ing in them to change my opinion; they are such as are always at hand, and will lie th any system however perfect; and indeed the main principle of the amendment is exactly correct in theory, but subject like all other principles correct in themselves to be in some measure perverted by the imperfections of human na ture; the bills under consideration are imper fect. in themselves and liable in some degree to be rendered still more so by the imperfec tions of human nature. I have proposed to substitute a just plan for one which will pro duce gross injustice. I have proposed to sub stitute a plan operating uniformly and consis tently for one which is directly the reverse. I have proposed it Under the most thorough sense of duty, and not from a disposition to be cap tious; if it sccceeds it will give me pleasure, because I can then vote for the bills with plea sure, and can with ease justify my votes; if it does not I assure gentlemen 1 will vote for the bills reluctantly and will find it difficult to jus tify my votes. I will, however, as I now ex pect, vote for them, believing as I do that par tial injustice will not be so great an evil as the loss of public credit at this eventful crisis of our national affairs.

August 10— WASHINGTON CITY MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 Co/iy nJ a letter from Captain John H. Dent, commandins' naval officer at Charleston, (S. C.) dated August 28 1813. SIR—It is with regret I have to in form you, that the weather for some time past has indicated a gale, which came on yesterday about noon from the N.E. and by 9 P.M. increased to a hur ricane, which blew with greater vio lence until 12, than I have ever recol lected to have experienced. The city and wharves present this morning a most melancholy aspect it is impossi ble as ?et to give any idea of the dam age, but it has been greater than that sustained in 1804. The Nonsuch, Ca rolina, and hospital ship, are the only vessels safe—the latter dismasted. Some of the barges, in seeking safety in the docks, were carried in the streets, with the general wreck, and are much dam aged. The tide rose so high that ships are now in the wharves'. The beauti ful new bridge over Ashley river’is en tirely destroyed and washed away. The prison ship parted her cable, and is now on shore at James’ Island. A wreck of a vessel on Fort Reef—not known whe ther the people on board were saved. I had the honor to inform you in my letter of yesterday, that I should pro ceed to Port Royal, with the barges the weather prevented it, at the mo ment of departure, which I consider a fortunate escape. I shall be able, to morrow to give you a correct report of the damage sustained by the schooners and barges under my command. I have the honor to be, with great respect, your most obedient servant, JOHN H. DENT. Hon. William Jones, Secretary of the Navy, From the same to the same. Charleston, Aug. 29, 1813. SIR, I have the honor to report that the schrs.Caroline andNonsuch have receiv ed no injury in the late gale; the hospital ship’s decks were torn up by the falling of the mast; barge No. 7 bilged kis o therwise much injured, lying on the ruins of houses, &c. her armament and stores saved, two men much hurt.— Barge No. 8 lying on Johnson’s wharf, not injured; barge No. 9 lying in the st above Gadsden’s wharf, a little injured in her bows barge No. 12 received no injury having been driven into the marsh and got off. I shall in the morn ing proceed to clear the mass of tim ber, &c. that obstructs the p issag. of the barges to the water, and have them put inorder for service immediately. I have not received any information from the Ferret and barge in Steno, or the one at Georgetown. I have the honor to be, with great re?- spect, kc. J. H. DENT. Hon. Wm.

Fort Stoddert, July 29, 1813, I have no conclusive reason to be lieve that the majority of the Creek na tion are desirous of war, or that the council, which is the legitimate organ of the public will, had any disposition to deviate from that pacific system which they have hitherto maintained. But certain it is, that a large party is decid edly hostile to us; that some of their leaders are disgusted, because they have lost that influence which they formerly possessed that others are envious at the prosperity of those who have adopt ed those industrious and civilized habits which have been recommended so forci bly by the United States and that many are exasperated in a high degree by the executions of such of their countrymen as have been put to death for their mur ders committed on American citizens. These appear to be at present triumph ant. The friends of peace arc borne down by their clamor and their violence some have been murdered, others driv en from their homes, and the expecta tion is entertained, that if they can suc ceed in cutting off eight of the chiefs, an entire revolution will ba effected in their government, and a destructive war be carried on against the people of the U. States. I regard it, however, as a ramification of the war with England. The Little Warrior, a chief of the Creek nation, had been a considerable time with the northern Indians. It was he. and his party, that committed the shock ing outrages on the Ohio. ItjWas stated that he had a letter from British gene ral in Canada, requesting the governor of Pensacola to furnish them with arms and ammunition. On his return to his own country, justice overtook him and his accomplices Through the vigor of the chiefs of the nation, they were found out, and as they could not be taken, they were killed on the spot. It was sup posed that the letter was lost. The gov ernor of Pensacola had heard of it, and discovered much solicitude to procure it. If it were in the pocket of the Lit tle Warrior when he was buried, he re quested that the body might be dug up again, and the letter secured. It was, however, in the hands of his family, and between two and three hundred Indians, carrying the letter with them, -went down to Pensacola for the purpose os despatch on the sub ject of ulterior negociations for peace. Yet that such negociations are going on with some considerable prospect of success, seems to be a very prevalent opinion in most parts of Europe. Various rumors prevailed both in France and England, as to the expect ed arrival of negociators. At Calais, a suite of apartments was said to be en gaged for a British minister and at Morlaix a diplomatic messenger was d dly expected to sail for England. French papers to June 27, received in London, continue to hold out the idea of pacific negociations to be carried, on at Dresden. Among the ministers expected there, they mention those of England and Spain. The Times of the 30th of June, remarks—“ It is next to impossible, that there can be any real ground for asserting that a Spanish mi nister is expected at Dresden and we b. jieve there is almost as little reason for expecting an English minister there.” An article from Leipsic, June 8 says Our Gazette announces, that the day before yesterday an interview was to take place between the emperor Napo leon and emperor of Russia, at Gits chin.” The emperor of Austria had ar rived at Gitschin [Bohemia J for the purpose, says the Austrian Court Gaz ette, of actively exerting himself in the restoration of peace.
