V\ e are gratified to present lo our readers tlie ( following letter from Washington, shewing the very decided Opposition of Mr. Adams to tlie Ta -1 riff, and paiticularly to Mr. Ci. tv’s shameful pro | ject of reduction. Though wc have seldom ap ! proved nt Mr. Adams's politics, wo have gcncr -5 ally looked upon him as a good man, and as a j . weak aud misguided, rather than designing or i . dishonest politician; learned rather than wise, ! and knowing more es books than men ; and wo ; are now more than ever gratified, fiat though j we warmly advocated llio cause of his opponent, j | ' n the late election, tve did not join in any of tlie ! violent abuse oi ii in, nor urged against him ei- | tlier tlie “Bargain” or “Coalition,” all the j blame of which wc believed, and still believe, I alii ibutable to Mr. Ci, ay, who succeeded in do-j coivijig rather than corrupting linn.—Tho letter > , in question is copied from the Charleston l.vq- ' ning Post, the editor of which observes, in re- . lation to it, “Mr. Adams lias elevated Itiin self incalculably in our estimalioii, as a Patriot tuul Statesman, by tho manly and enlightened \ view Which he lias taken of our oppressions, ini denouncing as it deserves, llio execrable project ' of Mr. Clay. Tho South lias found an ally where j an ally was never looked for, tun! we confess that hopes which were nearly extinct have been revived by the consideration of llio benefit to the j good cause, which such an avowal fi am such a, quarter must necessarily involve.*' Washington, Jm. 11, 1833. i Mr. Adams, you know, is chairman of the j committee on mamifactu • js. At llm meeting of, the committee this morning, lie came out in the 1 most decided manner in favor of a reduction of j the duties, usitiir substantially tills strong lan- 1 giiage : —“Mr. Clay’s proposition is entirely in admissible; it keeps tlie word of promise lo the ' car and breaks it lo the sense. lam lor afford : ing suhstunlial relief to tin; south ; their com- i plaints are just—limy am oppressed —they can not, and mill nut bn satisfied with any delusive j scheme of modification. I tell gentlemen they | must relieve the south or Flour them. I, for one, , declare that 1 will not hazard tliu union for any scheme of policy like the present tariff.” The gentleman from whom 1 received this report may have misunderstood the ex-president in llio , strength of los language, but it is veiy. certain I that ho expressed in strong terms ins opinion that tlie south was oppressed and must be relieved, mid that Mr. Clay’s project was illusory, using the strong expression that 'hey most relieve or fight the south, (have no time for speculations; the probability is, that in the senate the tariff party will bo‘ (inn—but that in our house wo shall obtain an indication of a disposition to re dress our wrongs. Mr. Adams, lam inclined lo hope, is honest in llm views winch be lias ex pressed—you will perceive that lie biings great weight to onr side, in assorting that wo are op pre-iied, and that Clay’s scheme is deceptive. \r«rsT.\ oau.v nitioxichn. Jl will be seen by reference lo llm “ Piopo sals,” in our advertising columns, that wo have dctoi mined to pnbiir It tlie Augusta Chronici.e ! Daily, ns oat ly as a sufficient quantity of New Type and other materials can be obtained from the North. And, in olVoring tills project to the patronage of the public, we bug leave to lie un derstood ns appealing solely lo their interest, as the only solid and piopor b.isisot'such tin under taking. Our own interest prompts us lothoon terptize, from tt belief that it may be profitable to ourselves, as well as useful lo the public; for, unless it bo usefu', and therefore profitable, to tlie public, it origin not to be, and we are sensi ble cannot and will not bo, profitable tons; and \vo therefore tlesi.c no one to patronize it, but f.i.m an expectation of “value received” for their money, or to continue their subset iptions thereafter, should they be disappointed in that expectation. Tho eo.uect principle of all busi ness Iransactiins (and this is, of course, as much a business transaction as any other) and the only one on which they can bo safely, honestly, pro ■ fualtly, or pc nianentiy -maintained, is mutual, belt iJit and si IJ" interest. And, inlying u oaihis, in llm present entorpilze, wo shall look closely and actively lo the interests,of our subscribe!s, as tho best means of pionmting our own—sensi ( bio Unit whether they like or dislike us person ally, they will patronize the paper, if wo make it lo their interest lo do so, and that the more in dustrioiisly and j crscvoringly we labor for them, i the more general and valuable will bo their pa* j tronago. And, should we at any time, become forgetful of them and our duties, the best way of correcting tho evil, and arousing our energies and proper sense of llio source from whence we derive our profits, will bo to withdraw llmir patronage, till it shall be to their interest to re new it. This will bo due lo themselves, and nothing more than jost to ns. And, while no editor Inis tho’iight lo enquire of a subscriber the cause of a withdrawal of bis subscription, to com plain of him for it, would be lo attach lo others,the blame, which, in nine cases out of ten. is due on ly to ourselves. Isa tnan docs not consider it bis interest to continue his subscription longer, i whether right or wrong in his opinion, ho is just as free to do so, as to withdraw Ins patronage liom any Store—and lo enquire of him llic cause, is impertinent, while to blame him for, it, Is arro gant and unjust. Tlie patronage of a paper should always ho given, or withdrawn, from a sense of the value of the paper to the public, or to ones self, without any reference whatever to tlie editor personally, whom onCmay like ordis- j like, without liking or disliking Ins paper—and j ■ therefore an editor should never consider tlie j withdrawal of subscription,as a personal matter, in the least, or feel tho less respect or regard (or the individual who withdraws it. Its only effect should bo to prompt him to an examination of Ills conduct, and the correction of any errors lie may discover, and to stimulate him to greater exertions—determined, at least, neither to deserve censure, or lossufpationage, so far as his honest efforts can avail lo prevent it. As to the withdrawal of patronage fora difference of political or religious opinion, that is a thing which should never pain, or move for a moment, any honest and independent editor, as, amid the endless variety of human opinion on those sub jects, the same expression of opinion which would induce one mao to withdraw, would in- m i i n mihii ducc another or more lo subscribe—at least, so we have found it. Commercial patronage, however, Inis little or nothing to do with personal controversy or con flict of opinion; but is founded,principally, on in dustry, energy, honesty, and perseverance, in tho quick publication of all important facts, and altlo and intelligent comments upon them, cal culated to devclopo their true nature and conse quences. And, commercial men, undivided and I unprejudiced by party,will,as all others ought to . do, always carefully examine both sides of every | question, looking more to tlu; intrinsic value of : the opinions A arguments themselves,than lo tho j persons who utter them,. However, then, we ■ may differ from any of onr merchants politically, ] while wo shall continue freely to express our po | lit leal opinions, iminlhicnccd by any man or any patty, we have no doubt they will patronize us, so long as we may make it to their interest to do iso, commercially; and the Daily paper will be j devoted eliietly to their interests. And they can , not be unaware, that no paper can honestly a groo with them altogether, and that while they differ from ns m some things, they will probably 1 agree with us in others, and the same also with j any paper that boldly and honestly expresses, as evciy one ought to do, its own opinions, and not those of a puny, or of any other paper or person, i We believe that a Jirsl-rate Daily Paper, such ' as we are determined that ours shall bo, will bo ' highly valuable lollio place, and profitable both ilo its patrons and to oursolves. Tins groat ob ject of commercial men, in patronizing papers, is j to obtain tlio earliest commercial intelligence from all quarters; and to etfect tins, many mb ! scribe for several daily commercial papeis, pub lished in different quarters. Vet still, us few,-if any, canTifiord to have one from every sen port, ! or commercial town,intelligence will often arrive by papers which they do not lake, which will give i those who receive those papers, the advantage of them. And beside Ibis, many of them have scaicoly time to look through all llio commer j cial matter of every paper they receive (and of tten to no effect,)lo find such as concerns them ! selves or the particular business of this city. Onr object will ho to have every commercial pacer that is desirable, throughout llio Union—to get them from tho Post-office, each evening, tlie 1 the moment they arc received there—and to se lect from them, set in typo, during the night, and publish by sunrise, next morning, all tho im tant commercial intelligence tlmy contain —al- so, tlie important political and oilier news, so far as the time will permit—giving tho preference, always to the commercial, and all that mostly concerns the commercial community. Tims lay ing before the Merchant, each mo.ning, before lie leaves his residence, all that valuable in formation which is calculated to govern his transactions throng limit the day. To effect all tliis, tlm paper will lie consider,ily enlarged, 11« o bust of woiUmen will be engaged, and tlie giniunoicial dopaitment placed exclusively un der tlie control of a commercial editor. By thus concentrating all the valuable common ial intel ligence from all ([Uni tors, the Merchants of this place may lie saved llio great expense in cuired in duilys from abtond, and tlie onerous trouble of searching through a bushel of com mercial chaff, for a grain of wheat, and often not even that—and will roeeiv. It also some hours earlier than they could obtain the foreign po.—rs whieli contain it, from the Post Office.—lt will be both an expensive and laborious cntorjirize; lint, neither labor or expense are lo he cured for, in anv undertaking, so long as they can ho suc cessfully and profitably employed; anil of this we have not tlio slightest doubt in the present : enterprize —at any rate we have determined not lo sparo them, in tlie effort for success; and some generous fiienls, who entertain sim ilar opinions of its success, and eonfi Iciicc in our exertions, have hid the kindness D step forward volmita ily with ofieis of pecu niary assistance, should we need it.—Wo are in treaty with a gentleman of extensive commercial ns well as general iiileiligenoe-aind information, for a sale to him of one half of the establishment —lie to take upon himself the entire control of the eommoi eial department of it. But, should not thin arrangement he made, an able, intelli genl, and capable commercial editor will be en gaged. —Wc shall slake e.very tiling upon Ibis ■ enterprize, and wa trust the community is suffi ciently acquainted with ns to believe, that we art; not disposed to do things by halers. Tho question, then, is, Will such a paper lie valuable to them—worth Ihe price of it! All we ask, is, giro us a fair trial, tit the start, and. if you arc disn/i/minteil, withdraw your patronage, ntonee, without Ihe least, hesitation. COMV!I;MCA I EH, AUGUSTA U\UU TURF.

FROM ini: CMI Ml KT.n EV TKI.KOB.VPII, CO.NUJKESiSKLNAI,. Friday, January 13. In llio Senate, yesterday a report was re ceived from tlie Secretary of tho Treasury, I containing the names of the applicants under tlie act for tlie relief of certain insolvent debtors of tlie United States, and the amount of tlie debts due from each ; also, of the names of those who have obtained a release, together with the terms of compromise made in each case, the follow ing bill was passed ; Tlie bill providing for the laying out and constructing a road from Lino' creek to Chutahoochie, and for other purposes. [ In the House of Representatives, Mr, Jenifer | inti educed a resolution for the appointment of a i select committee to inquire into the expediency | 0 a removal from the country, by tho genera government, of the free colored population, winch, after some discussion, was postponed till .Monday, , Tuesday, January 17. ' Fiic Senate, yesterday, resumed the conside n ration of tlie special order of the day, being the A following resolution, submitted by Mr. Clay : “Httsoleed, Tli.it the existing duties upon ai ti des impoi ted from foreign countries, and not coming into cumpolition with similar articles, 1 made or produced within the United Stales, 0 ought to ho forthwith abolished, except tlio du ties on winus and silks, and that they ought to t be reduced. 1 hcsulrnl, That tlie Uoinmitloo on Finance a report a lull accordingly,” j Mr. Hayne moved to amend tho first rcsolu tion, by striking out all alter the word '‘conn ’ tries, ’ in the second line, and lo insoit llic fol - lowing : f “Be so reduced, that the amount of the p üblic revenue shall bo sufficient to defray llic expen ’ scs el government, according to their present • scale, alter tlio payment oflbo public debt ; and i that, allowing a reason able time for the gradual . rctl"ctinn of llio present high duties on the urti eles'eoming into competition with similar urli jclcs made or produced in tho United States, tlie I duties he ultimately ct/aalizetl, so that tint duties i uni no article shall, us compared with the value ol i that in tide, vary materially, from tlie general average.” Mr. Hatnk then addressed tho Senate in an f eloquent and interesting argument, of groat . ! length, (which will bo given as soon as prepared , I for the press) mid, when he bad concluded, Mr. | Dickerson moved to postpone llic further con i'sidoration of the resolution ami amendments, to 1 j Monday next. This motion was adopted after • j having been discussed by itlessis. Dickerson, , | Forsyth, Clay, Tyler, Smith, and Wilkins. j In tlie House Representatives, Mr. McDur . fie, from the Committee of Ways and Means, ■ | introduced a bill making appropriations for oli . jocts of internal improvement, which was read p twice nnd committed to a committee of the Whole on llio stale of the Union. Mr. McDui- - ' fie also reported a resolution from tlie same i committee, calling on the Secretary of llm Trim . sm y, for information of tho extent and condition, l generally, of tlie ni.iiinfaclurcH of wool, cotton, hemp, iron, sugar,salt, Ac. in the United Stales, 1 and also for such a tariff us duties upon imports, ns, in Ins opinion, may be best adapted to the . advancement of tho public interest. It was laid upon tlie table one day. Wednesday, January 18. In tlie House of Representatives yesterday, 1 Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky, from tlie select com , mittco appointed for that purpose, reported a bill to abolish imprisonment fur debt, which was rend ! twice, and, together with the repot oflbo com • mittee, ordered to ho printed. Tlio provisions , of tiiis important bill areas follows: Section 1 . prohibits tlio issuing of any process by any of tho courts of the United Slates to arrest or im prison the body for debt accruing aflcr the 4lbof r July next. Section 3, renders unnecessary bail , or security for defendant in action for debt, , where the cause of action shall have accrued after tlie dill of July, unless oath is made that there is reason lo believe tho defendant intends i to remove from the Slate or Territory, or olltcr . wise abscond, in which case, bail for double tlio . amount of the debt shall be required, though the application for it shall ho dismissed by tlie court, ' if llio allegations of the intended (light of lint debtor appear unfounded. No person shall be held lo bail hut in tho State or Territory where till) debt was conn anted, unless tho debtor Inis absconded or is about to leave tho United Stales Section It, nothing in the net shall prevent the Issuing of ne exeat by any of the courts of the United Stales. Section 4, no females, or males above 70 years of ago, shall be held to bull on special bail for debt ; and all process against them for recovery of debt, shall lie by summons or attachment. Section 5, extends the provi sions of tho act to the Territories and tin; Dis tricts of Columbia. The House went into a 1 Committee oflbo Whole, and look up llic lull ' for ilic apportionment of representatives. Tlie amendment, to fix the ratio at liuly-six thousand, ! was negatived.
