Woollen*?, cotton bagging, aaJ sugar, wore the par’icularJv favored objects! of their care. After a vain effort to restore the minimum principle in the arrangement of the duties on woollens, they succeeded in inducing the Senate to increase ; :hc duties on woollens to 57 from 50 per cent. ; m restore the old duties upon cotton bagging and sugar. The duties on unprotected articles were further diminished by almost unanimous vote. In that form the bill was returned to the House of Representatives. The House agreed at orn'e to the amendments reducing, and re rr-cted those increasing duties. Committees of conference were appointed, and the last project was defeated by the agreement of the conferees to take the bill as it came the second time from the representatives of the people. On the dis cession of the report of the conferees, Mr. Clay denounced the arrangement as a sacrifice of the woollen interest of the East; as at) un warrantable surrender of the interests of Ken tucky and of Louisiana, as one with which ho would never be satisfied. Mr. Clay and Air. Webster united in reprobating in stjrong terms, the conduct of Mr. Dickerson and Mr. V\ ilkins, members of the committee of conference, who, the Senate were emphatically inform d, repre s nvd the iron interest in Pennsylvania and Now Jersey. It is true, Mr, Clay, after the Senate adopted the report, claimed, with his accustom c I adroitness, on the passage of the bill, the cro- 1 dit of success, and that his newspaper advocates sung notes of triumph on the great victory he had achieved. The motive could be easily un derstood. It was not the fir.lt time that the v anquished claimed the honours of victory. It was obvious, from this short sketch of what oc curred, that southern efforts in Congress had not been useless. All had not been accomplished, hut something had been done. M hat had been done, Mr. Forsyth proceeded to show. The year 1828 was the epoch of tariff* ex travagance. In the interval of the last three; years, it has been losing ground. Taking the net duties of 1830, as the ground of calculation, there was a reduction made by the act of May, 1830, estimated at $3,403,000, On Tea, - 1,151,000 Coffee, v - » 1,501,000 Molasses, - - ■ 358,000 , Salt, 325,000 Cocoa, ... - !hOOO Jlrpi alcd duties on tonnage, 110,000 1 3,403,000 Os these, salt and molassO* were ol tiie pro tected class. The amount of net duties takci? off ie I )ro * tee ted class in 1830, was $093,000.* By the uc f of July, 1832, according u- 1 a ment lately made from the Register’s Oi. ‘ ;e as W ashington, there has been a further reduce '*o r*f excluding in the calculation the, cost of collection, an 1 the amount of drawback ; i of this sum nearly one half is from protected ar ticles. .Some of the principal i ctus Mr. For- ■ svtii stated : O.i r.nv wool, there was a reduction of $20031 1 On woollen goods, .... 554,775 On cotton goods, ...... 1,260,291 j On iron and steed, .... 123,211 On bats 83,000 On sail duck, ..... 71,313 O r sugar, ...... 445,504: On iron and steel wire, ... 205,720 On hemp, - 33,782 On indigo, - - • - - 1)7,990 (>n a variety of articles ho would not take *hc time to enumerate, rising in till to above three millions of dollars. In arranging these reductions, the burdens of the south were intended to be relieved. For this, purpose the duties upon plains, believed to bej exclusively used by our blacks, there was a re-! duetiou of *131,507. The present duty pro duct'd a gross revenue of $114,870 The duty which will be paid next year, would i tie, snnposing the same importation as in £ 13,303 1830, ‘ S j $131,507 With the same object there Was a reduction of $80,196, on blankets —afTcCiug principally the coarser and cheaper articles, chielly used in the southern states. The duty on cotton bogging was reduced from sto 1U cents the square yard, against the earnest remonstrances of Mr. Clay, who con sidered Kentucky as sicrified by it, and the re duction of the duty on hemp, to what he termed the groundless complaints of the south. In the space of three years there had been then a reduction of the duties on the protected articles, of between three and four millions of. dollars, in a reduction of little more than $lO,- 900,000 of revenue derived from duties on im portations. Mr. Forsyth said it was not designed by these j details, to reconcile his. assembled fellow-citi yens, to the principle of the act of 1832, or to i * AVri-.—This estimate is made on the basis of the treasury leport to Congress, at the last session, of the, r venue received on customs, between the Ist «t Jatiu rv, 1830. and tlio Ist of January, 1831.

He was not, ho repeated, satisheJ |witli either. His purpose was to show .he dis position of the m ijority of the las Congress, land to do justice to the intea.ions of ilkw; who being with us friendly to Genera! Jackson’s ad ■ ministration, were yet determined to sustain the manufacturing interest. He was most anxious that no unfounded prejudice should be indulged in Georgia towards many of dm me to hers be longing to that majority, as they tad on the vital question of our Indian rela ions stood by us in Congress, and defended us at home, when those who were eager to press us “onward ’ to vio leut measures against the tariff*, showed us a cold shoulder or a hostile face. There was .mo ther class of our fellow-citizens who were in this matter treated unfairly. The Eastern peo ple were abused as the authors of this new sys tem, got up to make us their tributaries. The' larilfof 1816 was aided by distinguished southern politicians, against the wishes of the East. The protective clause which he, himself, proposed to strike from it, was retained by a majority ol four votes, five of the persons forming that ma jority were from south of the Potomac, and three of them from South-Carolina. In 1824 all Massachusetts, with the cxccp tion of Mr. Barites, opposed the system, led on I )by Mr. Webster, who, in the discussion ot the Iqu.-s ion, made his most happy effort. Os Mr. • Baylies, it was proper to say, that standingalone against us on lhat question, of all the representa tives of Massachusetts, he stood alone also on another, that between Georgia and the Luited States, about the Creeks and Cherokces ; and I fur ids part it might be selfish, but Mr. l orsvth inever could recollect" Mr. Baylies’ heresy on the tariff’, without remembering his orthodoxy on the Indian question, to us one of higher in terest and then of pressing danger. Subse quently indeed all New England was for the protective policy, because, as it was alleged, large capitals had been, on the faith of the gov ernment’s adhering to it, vested in manufactur ing es tablishments. There was another cause, not less powerful, although not acknowledged, In 1828, and at this time, the political hopes of . the leading men in New England, were identi j lied with tlie maintenance of the American sys tem, and it would not be abandoned by them jj while there was a chance ofsuccess for its chief |! supporter. Annihilate these hopes for their ( restoration to power under the auspices ot Mr. , Clay, and you will go far to re-adjust their erroneous opinions on the constitutionality and policy of the hot-bed system for raising manu factures. In the mean time, let the New Eng : laud opposition members have justice lor their early efforts to defeat the acts of 1810 and 1821, and be condemned only fur their conduct in 1828 and 1832. Butin New England itself , ‘’here were since 1828, manifest changes, and it’ rhe wishes of the dominant party in Maine and -New Hampshire, could have been accom , pUshed, she recent alterations of the tariff would j have been 1 TOrc extensive and more satisfacto ry. It was p ‘‘limps not known, three senators durimr the late session, voted in violation of the wishes of their s’aft .Ngislatures, for retaining the highest duties upon protected articles, and that many of the important questions in the Senate wore decided against the by a majority varying from one to throe. The failure to adjust the tariff * iil correct prin ciples, at the last session of Cong .dess, was spo ken of by many as conclusive evidence that there Was no hope from Congress. hope from Congress? Mr. F. had all his hopes fixed r on Cortgress ; not the Congress whose ter.ut °f ; service expires on the 4th of March next —fr.oiM them till had been that probably could be ot>-| tained. On the 4th of March next, u new house i of representatives began its term, apportioned under the fist census. There has been a new adjustment of political power. By the 4th of March next, one third of the Senate of the Uni ted States would have to be elected. Are these events to produce no change on the character ol Congress? Who will venture to assert that there is in these events no ground for hope? His own confident expectations were founded upon his personal knowledge of the condition of parties in the Senate of the United States, at present the , strong hold of the manufacturing interest. In the W est actual changes had been made. Many of those who still adhered to the system, did so, more from a deference to the supposed! i opinion of their states, than from any settled con- j victiou of‘dieir own ofthe policy of adhering to | ■ it. The East was misrepresented by some ot j the senators from that quarter, and many op ! those senators formerly confided in implicitly when against the system, are now i s advocates, j from what would prove to be temporary causes. Have any of those who are giving up Congress in despair, calculated how small a change in the , representations in the two houses, would put down forever the delusive system ? Cannot this change bo wrought ? Have ho just and natural j and rational means been used to nsure success ?j Who has gone to the high tariff districts to make! converts to the true political creed? The great) southern champions make statements, prepare pamphlets, circulate inflammatory speeches, in the south, where public opinion is already right, neglect the benighted districts, or leave them to | the exclusive care of their own agitators. Withj half ofthe time that had been employed, half of the industry and talent that had been exercised in producing and maintaining the excitement South ofthe Potomac, a revolution might be ac complished in New.Aork, New Jersey, 1 enn sylvania and Ohio, without whose aid the high tariff party was in a hopeless minorily in the Union and in Congress. The admirable memo rial of Mr. Oalktin, the detailed statements pre i pared by Mr, Lee in Boston, had already pro j duced a sensible effect, although confined in cir- I culation. They should bo scattered over the ; whole country, be sent to ev<?rv cottage in the 1 middle states' to every log hoiise beyond the mountains. Instead of stimulating aMiome conviction into prejudice, let us reason Witn our brethren who arc erring for want of light. -lO us not begin by admitting what is not true, and ! what is to them insulting, that the tariff policy ! is life to them, but death to us. Let us not say, I abandon it, or we Abandon the Union we have formed under the hope it would endure forever. This is neither the language to tempt, to con vinco, nor to persuade. Prove to them that the noTicv is injurious to them as it is to us; that we detest It because it is ruinous not to the south on jlv bat to our country, our common country, our >1 whole country ; that there is nothing m the con ildition ofthe north or south, east or west that ! renders this policy ruinous to one, and whole, j some to all or either of the others. It is ruinous i every where, those only excepted who, engager in manufacturing, have by the industrious ust of a monopolized press, deluded their tel low fel low citizens, in o the belief that it is good for them to be taxed, that manufacturing profit might be enlarged. .. Shall we indulge angry and resentful feolmgs use harsh and menacing’language owards thost who are taxed like ourselves, burthened as wt ! are and differing with us only m his, tha they are onlv taxed and deluded into Dm belie that it is a public good. Wc are taxed, au know that it is a public evil. Was it over Ve ‘ found difficult to satisfy a reasoning and reason ! able people, that taxs wore burdensome, and, - I| should be so levied as to press leas upon the la- : , hour, and take least from the profits of their in-’ > dusfry ? When the experiment, to carry con-: . viction home to the bosoms of our brethren in ; the western, in the middle, and in the eastern j states, by direct, powerful, frequent appeals to 1 the people themselves, has been fairly made and . i failed, we may despair of redress from Congress. 1 Un il then, to urge that there is no hope from 1 Congress, is unworhy of our cause, a confession ; jthat it cannot be sustained at the great tribunal of public opinion. How little has been done, 1 ! may be known from the statement of a single j I fact, not at all creditable to our southern liberal- 1 1 iity. A public journal established in the heart! , ofthe infected districts, and conducted with; , jgreat ability, devoted exclusively to the causcof :*1 free trade, has been once or twice on the eve of I i I being abandoned for want of patronage, almost starved out by neglect. Establish it on firm , 1 foundations, give life and vigour to others of a ; ;* similar character, spread them gratuitously far and wide for the benefit of those whose imme diate representatives never favour them with a I :liue or statement in favour of soutiiern doctrines. Translate them into all the languages spoken in our country, for the lie net if of every ekizen who! is ignorant of the English tongue. Make the truth be known every where, and leave it to at chieve its own victory. There were many southern politicians who, . looked forward to the late session of Congress, 1 and taught their constituents to do so, as a pecti-l ; liarly favourable period for an adjustment of the; ; tariff on just principles. Mr. Forsyth said he had never considered the time as particularly fa vourable to the re-establishment of the true sys tem. The extinguishment of the public debt being near at hand, a diminution of duties was inevitable; but how did the extinguishment of the public debt affect the principle upon which the duties were to be diminished ? The acts of ; 182 4 and 1828, were not passed to increase pub-| lie revenue more speedily to pay off the public| debt. They were passed to protect manufac tures. Public opinion on those acts was indeed changing, but not changed. The pendency of another matter, the Presidential election, was particularly unfavorable. 'The Presidential e 'l lection protruded itsrll' into every political ques • tion; no where more intensely than in Congress, I were the hopes and fears it engendered deeply 1 felt; no where was it so essentially an element ; in the adjustment of every disturbing interest. On the tariff its commanding influence was vi sible at every turn. The protective system was ■ the ground upon which one party hoped to suc ceed. To increase their chances, the game was j to stigmatize their opponents as the destroyers ot the manufacturing interests, the friends ol ; the administration residing in the states favora : able to the protective system, yet firmly adher ing to the present administration, were no doubt 1 deterred from larger concessions, by the appre hension that file administration would be deemed ; in their neighborhoods the enemies of the favor ed policy, and they themselves as sacrificing the known wishes of their constituents, to secure southern votes fur the present chief magistrate. From the south one party could gain nothing without sacrificing the hope of success in the eastern, middle, and western states. The other j could lose nothing by adhering to their former policy, which was approved ut home. Under such untoward circumstances, what had been done might be claimed, if not as a signal tri umph, yet us an earnest of future success. Now ' adjustments of the system would inevitably soon occur. The act of 1832 would bring larger revenues than would be wanted for the public I DSC. Every occasion might and Would be seiz- ; r, k d, peaceably to accomplish the great purpose. : Mr, Forsyth said ho was ready, alone, in con- | junction with a portion of his fellow-citizens, with llv whole state, or with the southern states, to cxccuV t'-oy an d every measure, honourable in itself, to ensure success in this most righteous cause. No n; nsure was honorable, that pm in jeopardy the i’u'tr'grity of the Union ; and he had little patience With those whose minatory : denunciations seemcJ *0 increase as the burdens, of the sytem diminislk'd. Mr. Forsyth eonclitJotl by saying, that lie did not intend to discuss the merits of the two , sets of resolutions before the meeting. lie Caine to express his opinion upon them by his vote as 1 a citizen of Richmond countyr In voting tor lj the first, he must deny the justice of the suggea j tion that had been made, that they displayed a ; spirit of proscription. Among the class ot persons, j who were called nuiiifiers, were many for whose) | character, talent, and information, he had uu- . feigned respect. Yet he would no consider them at this juncture, as safe depositories ot legis lative power. Beyond this, the obnoxious resolu tion did not go. Upon the doctrine ot nuilifica- , tion he would not enter; his opinion had been ; long since formed, frequently expressed, and i doubtlessly was well known to his constituents. : Fi'Oih ihe Charleston Conner.

Indeed,) . I it may be said generally of the reports of my. 1 remarks, (and I do not pretend to speak ot the) ? | remarks of others because my attention is not; . i drawn to the reports of them) that they not on-i . Iv do not contain whaT I do say, but that they | . 1 contain the grossest misstatement of my views,) .1 founded, I believe, upon misconception, inccrn-j j) petcncy, and indolence on the part 01 the Re-, j) porters. Indeed I have abstained from reading 1 J the reports of my remarks almost entirely, be-) ; cause it is distressing to look at the disgusting rj caricature. t 1 “My remarks in relation to the continuation J oft the Cumberland Road, had reference to a pro- j position to extend it beyond Zanesville, by act ’1 of the present session. I have always coaced- I ed that the Road was a oromment part ot a na ; tional system of In ternaT Improvements, & have ft only contended that wo ought to wait until the 0 /surveys are completed, and the leading Roana B and Canals determined upon, before we car r\ . the execution of any part of it beyond the ex r tent to which the contracts are now made. The .! remark that the legislation of Congress on this t subject had been all wrong, had reference to . the manner in which wo had proceeded in the s execution ofthe work on the Cumberland Road, d It has cost the Government twice as much as it sft ought to have cost, or as rt would now cost, be t ' C au-;e we began prematurely to do the work, ’ft without survey and estimates from competent s scientific men, nnJ indeed without any systema tic superintendence of die work itself. £ hile 5 i it was conducted under the auspices £>* tueTrea ei surv Department, it cost just as much as tae e' contractors would ask, as I ana induced to 00- u liovo. from the great cost and little value ot tac •f work done. By the estimates Submitted from d! the Engineer Department this session, it appears •ft that it will now' cost nearly as much to repair ft ! the Road as it would to make it de novo. i . oln a word, the Cumberland Road, the Che ■ sapeake andjOhio Canal, the Canal connecting Pittsburg w ith the Lakes, the line ol Inland Na yi gat ion from Ncw’-Orleans around the coast, through the neck of Florida, and thence 10 the extreme north, and finally the Post Road troim Washington to New-Orleans, are the principal national works which I have always regarded as entitled to the patronage ot Congress. And I am prepared to carry them on pari passu, as soon as our financial resources will enable us to do it. “I think the Southern and Western States are the natural advocates of a system ot Inter-, nal Improvements; anil I regret that the con-j . -stitutional scrapes of a portion of the Southern 1 ; People should prevent a hearty co-opteration. This is the only form in which the Southern j States can be indemnified for the far levied upon them to sustain the manufactures oj the Eastern j States. I enclose you a report, which will in! !some degree convey to you my views on this point. “ Yours, sincerely. GEG. MCDUFFIE.*’ AUOUSTA MARKET, August 31, 1832.

August 31 “ PROPOSALS For publishing a weekly Paper in the city of Augusta, GcO. to be called the korth-adierxOak gazette. HE subscriber proposes to publish a weekly paper iS. in Augusta, to be called The North-American Gazette ; and as it will be his endeavor to make it use ful to the public, he will venture to hope for such a share of patronage as to insure to himself a reasonable remuneration for liis labors. While so many papers arc published in Augusta, and spme of them so ably edited, it might be thought ptfhaps that an additional paper was scarcely necessary. But it is believed, that even with all the papers now published here, and even with flic daily papers which, from notices given, are contemplated, that still a weekly paper may be so con ducted, as to become a very acceptable periodical, both to those who take, and to many who do not take the other publications. How far it may be in the power of the publisher of The North-American Gazette to make it generally acceptable, can only be known after the experiment has befen made.—He can however, in ad. vance of the experiment, venture to engage that no cf forts of his shall be wanting to render his paper gene rally useful, It w ill contain an account of the general occurrences of the day—will present to its readers all such foreign and domestic intelligence as may be sup posed to be of an interesting rir important character— such moral and religious information as may hp appro.' priate to such R publication, and such miscellaneous or political communications, as shall, in the Editor’s judg ment, be calculated to benefit his fellow-men—and it will be fiis endeavor to have the pages of the Gazette diversified with such occasional selections, or original communications, as may he deemed worthy the attem. tion of such female readers, as may be willing (o pat ronize the undertaking. 1 As to the political complexion of the paper, it will be rlrcessary to say but little, as it is not to be exclusively a political publication—but as far as political subjects find place in it, thaVcourse only wall be pursued, which ' in the honest judgment of the publisher will be best cal culated to promote the substantial good of iiis fellow men. In a country like ours, the people all have the same rights and the same interests : to advance these interests and to sustain these rights, wall be the endea. vor of the publisher of The North-American Gazette, according to the best of his ability—and with them, that happy Union of the United States, on which their prb. serration must in fits view inevitably depend. To the contests of mere patty scribblers, he can promise no' countenance. To do good, will be the Editor’s cndeaJ vor—if in this lie fails, it shall in no case be a voluntary failure. CONDITIONS. The North-American Gazette \till be issued the first week in October. The materials to be entirely new; the paper of good quality and equal in size to any paper now published in the State. The publisher pledges to his patrons, that the me. chanical department shall not be surpassed by any news paper in the Southern States. Price of subscription Three Dollars per annum, of Four Dollars if riot paid within the year. £7" Persons holding subscription lists, will please make a return of subscribers by the first of October next. BENJAMIN BRANTLY. Augusta, August 31, 1832. 22 The Thorough Bred Stallion QUIDNUNC, HAS arrived at Ids stable in Washington, nkhi county, (Ga.^- —and will commence the fall season on the first day of September ensuing, at Fifteen dollar? the single service, to be paid at hand—Twenty dollars the season, to be paid at any time within the season—and Thirty dollars for insurance, to be paid as soon as the mare may be ascertained to be in foal, or transferred from the possession of the person wh®‘ engages her. Fifty cents to the groom, in hand, for every marc. The Fall season will expire on the first of November. The next Spring season will commence on the first of March at his present stand. Any gentleman becoming respon sible for the season of five mares may hive the season ot a sixth gratis. Good pasturage will be provided gratis, for mares sent from a distance, they will be fed with gran: at 25 cents per day. Every care will be taken to prevent accidents or escapes—but the proprietors of the horse will not be responsible for any that may occur. 4t is out expectation to make the present stani of Quidnunc a permanent one—and every effort will be made to do jus ticc to those who may encourage his services. QUIDNUNC is a rich bioetd-bay, with black legfiT mane and tail, fifteen hands three inches high, six yeard old next spring, of fine action, bone and hair. QUIDNUNC has been purchased at Baltimore, on high recommendation, with a view to improve the stocA of Southern horses. , His high origin justifies the cx-' pectation that this object may be accomplished. He was gotten by the full bbiodetl imported Arabian Bagdad, (who was sold in New-York for §8,000,) out of the fa mous thorough bred mare Rosa Carey, by Sir Archy— Rosa’s dam was Sally Jones, by the imported Wrangler —he by Diomed, sir. of Sir Archy—having two direct crosses of the Archy blood with thorough Arabian Wood-. His pedigree is not only first rate, but authentic . See American Turf Register, Nov, 1831, page 152. It presumed that Quidnunc the esscmial properties of a racer—for be was entered for the “Maryland Stallion sweep stakes,” against all dtaflions in that state, and no entry was made against him. (See American Turf RG&tit, Dec. iMhp. 105)—and he was sold onto, training by P. Wallis. Esq. to the oresent proprietor* Tur/K V iOdr.Jg.Veß i £ R. A. TOOMBS. 1 Washington, Aug. 21, 1832. 2t *2 Dr. I.
