We are gratified to present to our readers the fallowing letter from Washington, shewing the very decided opposition of Mr. Adams to the Ta tilV, and paiticulnrly to Mr. Clay's shameful pro ject of reduction. Though wo have seldom ap proved of .Mr. Adams's politics, wo have gener ally looked upon him as a good man, and us a weak uinl misguided, rather than designing or dishonest politician; learned rather than wise, and knowing more of books than nun; and we uro now more than ever gratified, dial though wo warmly advocated the cause of his opponent, in the late election, we did not join in any of the violent abuse et it ttt, nor urged against him ei ther the “Bargain” or “Coalition,” all the i blame of which wo believed, and still believe, attributable to Mr. Clav, who succeeded in de ceiving ruiher than corrupting him.—The letter in question is copied from the Charleston Eve ning Fost, the editor of which observes, in re lation to it, “Mr. Adams has elevated him sell incalculably m our estimation, as a Patriot and Statesman, by the manly and enlightened view which he has taken of our oppressions, in denouncing as it deserves, the execrable project ot Mr. Clay. '1 lie South has found an ally where an ally was never looked for, and we confess that hopes which were nearly extinct have been K -i hv the consideration oftho benefit to the good cause, wnic. - , ... , •* ’ ; “.u avowal Iromsuch a quarter must necessarily involve,.. Washington, Jan. 11, low. , Mr. Adams, you know, is chairman of t>'* committee on manufactvrss. At the mc»’-’S °f the committee this morning, he came out in the most decided manner in favor of n reduction of the duties, using substantially this strong lan guage :—“Mr. Clay’s proposition is entirely in admissible; it keeps the word of promise lo the ear and h eaks it to the sense. lam for afford ing substantial relief to the south; their com plaints are just —they are oppressed —they can not, nnd will nol bo satisfied with any delusive scheme of modification. I tell gentlemen they must rclieec the south or fruit them. I, for one, declare that I will nol hazard the union for any scheme of policy like the present tariff.” The gentleman from whom I received this report may have misunderstood the ex-iitesidcnl in the st ength of his language, but it is very certain that lie expressed in strong terms his opinion that the south was oppressed and must he relieved, and that Mr. Clay’s project was illusory, using the strong expression that they must relieve or fight the south. 1 have no time for speculations; the probability is, that in the senate the tariff party will he firm—hut that in our house we shall obtain an indication of a disposition to re dress our wrongs. Mr. Adams, lam inclined to hope, is honest in the views which he has ex pressed—you will perceive that he brings great • weight to our side, in asserting that we are op pressed, and that Clay’s scheme is deceptive. AUGUSTA DAILY CHRONICLE. It will be seen by reference lo the “Piopo sals,” incur advertising columns, that we have determined to publish the Augusta Chronicle Daily, us early as a sufficient quantity of New Type and other materials can bo obtained from the North. And, in offering this project to the patronage of the public, wo h,,g leave to be un derstood as appealing solely to their interest, as the only solid and proper basis of suclt an under taking. Our own interest prompts us to the en terprize, from a belief that it may be profitable to ou selves, as well as useful to the public; for, unless it be usefu', and therefore profitable, to the public, it ought not to be, and we are sensi ble cannot and will not ho, profitable to us; and we therefore desire no one to patronize it, but liom an expectation of “ value received” for their money, or to continue their subscriptions thereafter, should they he disappointed in that expectation. The correct principle of all husi. ness traueactiins (and this is, of course, as much a business transaction as any other) and the only one on which they can be safely, honestly, pro fitably, or permanently maintained, is mutual benefit it ml self-interest. And, relying upon this, in the present entorprize, wc shall look closely and actively to the interests of our subscribers, as the best means of pi emoting our own—sensi ble that whether they like or dislike us person ally, they will patronize the paper, if we make it ’ to their interest to do so, and that the more in dustriously and pcrsevoringly we lubot for them, the more general and valuable will be their pa tronage. And, should we at any time, become forgetful of them and our duties, the bust way of correcting the evil, and mousing our energies and proper sense of the source from whence we derive our profits, will ho to withdraw their patronage, till it shall bo to their interest to re new it. This will bo duo lo themselves, and nothing more than just to us. And while no editor h is the right lo enquire of a subscriber the cause ofa withdrawal of his subscription, to com pi iiu o; him for it, would he to attach to others,the blame, which, in nine cases nut often, is duo on ly to ourselves. If a man does not consider it bis interest to continue his subscription longer, whether right or wrong in his opinion, ho is just us free to do so, ns to withdraw his patronage from any Store—and to enquire ofliim the cause, is impertinent, while to blame him for it, is arro ; guilt and unjust. The patronage of a paper should always he given, or withdrawn, from a sens.! of the value of the paper to the public, ot to ones self, without any reference whatever to j the editor personally, whom one may like or dis | like, without liking or disliking his paper—and | therefore an editor should never consider the j withdrawal of subscription,ns a personal matter, 1 in the least, or feel the less respect or regard for the individual who withdraws it. Ils only effect shotdd bo to prompt him to an examination of his conduct, and the correction of any errors | lie may discover, and to stimulate him lo greater exertions—determined, at least, neither . to deserve censure, or loss of patronage, so far as his honest efforts cun avail to prevent it. As to the withdrawal of patronage for a difference ol political or religious opinion, that is a thing which should never pain, nr move for a moment, any honest and independent editor, as, amid the endless variety ofhuman opinion on those sub jects, the same expression of opinion which would induce one man to withdraw, would in duce another or more to subscribe —at least, so we have found it. Commercial patronage, however, lias little or nothing to do with personal controversy or con llict of opinion ; but is founded,principally, on in dustry, energy, honesty, and perseverance, in (lie quick publication of all important facts, and able and inte.lligoiit comments upon them, cal culated to develop© their true nature nnd conse quences. And, commercial men, undivided and unprejudiced hy party, will,ns till others ought to do, always carefully examine both sides of every question, looking more lo the intrinsic value of llie opinions & arguments themselves,than to the persons who tiller them. However, then, we may differ from any of our merchants politically, while we shall continue freely to express our po litical opinions, uninfluenced by any man or any party, wo have no doubt they will patronize us, so lo.ig as we may make it to their interest to do so, commercially; and the Daily paper will bo devoted citielly to their interests. And they can not be unaware, that no paper can honestly a g.ee with them altogether, and that while they differ from us iu some things, they will probably agree with us iu others, and the same also with any paper that boldly and honestly expresses, as every one ought lo do, opinions, and not those ol a party, or ol any other paper or person. We believe that a first-rate Daily Paper, such as we are determined that ours shall be, will ha highly valuable to the place, and profitable both to its patrons and to ourselves. The great ob joctof commercial men, in patronizing papers, is to obtain the earliest commercial intelligence from all quarters; and to effect this, many sub scribe for several daily commercial papers, pub lished in different quarters. Vet still, as few, if any, canuffo.d lo have one from every sea port, or commercial town,intelligence will often arrive by papers which they do not take, which will give those, who receive those papers, the advantage ot them. And beside this, manv nf„-V i.uyner-1 cial’ro&ttcr of every paper they receive (and of- { * iMawnwn in ■ i Mrnrsß ten lo no effect,)to find such as concerns them selves or the particular business of this city. Our object will be to have every commercial paper that is desirable, throughout the Union—to get thorn from the Post-office, each evening, the the moment they are received there—and to se lect from them, set in type, during the night, and publish by sunrise, next morning, all the im taut commercial intelligance they contain —al- so, the important political and other news, so far as the time will permit—giving the preference, always to the commercial, and all that mostly concerns the commercial community. Thus lay ing befuie the Merchant, each morning, before he leaves his residence, all that valuable in formation which is calculated to govern bis transactions throughout the day. To effect all this, the paper will be consideraly enlarged, the best of workmen will be engaged, and the commercial department placed exclusively un der the control of a commercial editor. By thus concentrating all the valuable commercial intel ligence from all quarters, the Merchants of this place may bo saved the great expense in curred ir\ dailys from abroad, and the onerous trouble of searolling through a bushel of com mercial chaff, for a g ain of wheat, and often not even that—and will receive it also some hours earlier llffh they could obtain the foreign papers which contain it, from the Post Office. —It will he both an expensive and laborious enterprise; but, neither labor or expense, are to be cared lor, in any undertaking, so long as they can ho suc cessfully and profitably employed; and of this we have not the slightest doubt in the present onlerprize—at any rate we have determined net to spare them, in the eftbrt for success; and 1 some generous f.tonls, who entertain sim ilar opinions of its success,.and confidence ' in our exertions, have had the kindness to I step forward voluntarily with offers of pecu niary assistance, should wo need it.—We are in treaty with a gentleman of extensive commercial * J _ ns well as general intelligence and information, for a salo to him of onn half of tho establishment —he to take upon himself the entire contiol of the commercial department of it. But, should j nol this arrangement bo made, an able, intelli gent, and capable commercial editor will be en ' gaged.—We shall stake every thing upon this entcrprize, and wo trust the community is .suffi ciently acquainted with ns to behove, tllat wo are not disposed to do tilings by halves. The , question, then, is, Will such a paper bo valuable lo them—Worth tho price of it ? All wo ask, is, gice us a fair trial, at the start, and if you are disappointed, withdraw your patronage, at once, without the least hesitation. COMMUNICATED. i AUGUSTA RACE TURF.

Friday, January 13. In the Senate., yesterday a report was re ceived from tho Secretary of tho Treasury, containing the names of the applicants under the act Ibi the relief of certain insolvent debtors of ■ the United States, and the amount of llio d 'bls due fiom each ; also, of tho names of those who , have obtained a release, together with the terms of compromise made in each case, llio follow ing hill was passed : The hill providing fin the i laying out and constructing a road from Line , creek to Chatahoochie, and for other purposes. In llio House of Representatives, Mi. Jenifer 1 intioduced a resolution for tho appointment of a i select committee to inquire into the expediency. [ of a removal from the country, by the general . government, of the free colored jo; illation, which, alter some discussion, was postponed till Monday. Tuesday, Jtttury 17. The Senate, yesterday, resumed the considc ! ration of the special order of the day, being the following resolution, submitted by Mr. Clay : “ Repaired , That the existing duties upon arti i cles imported from foreign countries, and nol coming into competition with similar articles, made or produced within the United States, ought to bo forthwith abolished, except llio du ties on wines and silks, and lhat they ought to bo reduced.
