j saved from the ruinous shuck of a too
| -addon transition, by tanking the roduc-
I lien gradual and progressive. Accor
dingly the duties upon cotton ami wool
h a m mut'ii lures were placed at the ml
valorem rate of twenty live per centum,
with (lie provision that no cotton fabric
should iie eatijUiited as of less value than
twenty live cents per square yard that
being about the existing price of the
eon ’sc cotton manufacture:; then usually
imparled. The duty on hammered bui
lt on was lived at the rate of forty live
cents j.n r hundred weight, which did not
■weed twenty-five per centum on the
existing value of that article, and the
luly oil all manufacture!* of iron vv as
placed at twenty -five per centum ad va
lorem. in fact, it in iy he stated general
iy, that the average of the duties impos
ed upon tile protected class of articles by
the Tar If of l&ld, was not more than
twenty five per centum »u ihvir value
having reference to the then existing pn
ces, of atieh ns vv» re subjected to mtiii
iiuiiii or speeiiie duties; while the mere
revenue duties upon collie, tea, and
w ines, averaged at least tiiiy percent!! ti
I ( tie priueijiio was here ihsi;ne*ly assum

jdaced from twentyAivo to twenty per

Uut,still unsatisfied with the protection
so generously yielded to them, the man
ufacturers continued to clamor lor a >et
£icater increase the duties, until tlu \
succeeded, in IwM, m Imving them rais
ed on woollens from -o to 003 per cent;
on iron to DD cents per hundred; while,
on cotton manufactures, the minimum
vvns raised from -5 to 30 cents the square
yard, being equivalent to an average in
creusc of 10 or 15 per cent, ad valorem ;
and, on most other manufactures, a very
considerable addition was made to the
duties. The whs passed with
the aimo:.t unanimous opposition of the
representatives from all the Southern
Slates; and nothing induced the people
of the South, at that time, to acquiesce in
{:t, bat the solemn assurance of its leading
I advocates that no further call for pro
lection would ever be made in behalf ol
llie manufacturing interests. This pledge
was most distinctly made in Congress
luring the discussion ol that measure,
jjul this as soon forgotten or disregard
ed, and, in Istwii, renewed efforts were
j made to extend the protecting duties,
| particularly on wool and woollen maim
(iicUti’es, efforts u Inch were porsevering
|y prosecuted until when they were
crowned with eomjdete success by the
enactment of what has been appropri
ately denominated n “bill of abomina
tions " This net increased the duties on
woollen niamdactures on an average,
more than id jar cent, and most of the
protecting duties to a considerable ex
tent. though not quite so much.
Much is a brief history of the progress
of the protecting system since the late
war—a history which the people ol tin
Southern .‘■States can contemplate with
no other than the most melancholy re-
I ilee I ions. They < miuot but perm v e time
j what was modestly s«iV.7 cl r.ml gene-I
| rously granted iis a Icinjioriin/ protection |
I against liie disasters of a sii.nl -n change. |
produced by the net of the Government j
I itselt'. is now iinpi-riiii.!;/ iluiuiiuleil, with a I
more llisii twofold increase, no a matter
of Tight) and ns a measure ol pm'uuincnt
puitcj, They cannot lad to perceive.
.Iso - ilmt, after the progress and im
oivveiuenls of forty years—-sixteen ol
ibem under a protection ot from twenty
live to lifiy live per tjcnt.—during which
our manufactures have laid lull (i- •- to
reach their maturity, a rate of jirolecuog
duties is now established ns (be peiinu
aent policy of the country, four times as
I high as that, which was recommended
jby Alexander Hamilton, when those
j niamdhetnres were in their infancy.—
j t pmi i very principle of reason and jas
| tiee, ami upon the avowed principles of
I *1 r. Hamilton, the author of the prolee
I ting system, no manufacture can have
any claim to protection which cannot
dispense with it after a few years of pro
bation. itiit these principles are entire
ly disregarded and reversed by the pro
ject advocates of this system. The ex
perience, maturity, and improvements
which, according to those principles,
should induce the nianmacturers to dis
pense with even the original protecting
duties, have had no oilier effect than to
increase their demands. The infant
which was getieiously nourished la its
f cbletjess, now grown up to maturity,
proves to he a gigantic monster, which
turns upon us bcnctaetoiv, and devours
their substance, with tin appetite increa
sing wlflt its stature, urd which nothing
can satiate.
Adverting to the several steps by
which this system has attained its pre
sent dimensions, it will he seen, that, by
the act of IH‘2l, the protecting duties
were only raised, on tin average, übo.nl.
ten percent; and even this increase was
carried in the ilouse of Representatives
by n meagre majority of five votes only ;
whet cas in IS'iM, the amendments of the
Semite, which raised the duties on wool
len niMnufaclui'es train IKIJ per cent, on
an average of more than 50 per cent, cs
timnting the effect of the minimum*, and
other protecting duties in proportion,
were curried in the House of Keprcscn
tut'ves by the overwhelming majority ot'
117 to t»7! It is thus apparent that the
system is not only progressive, but (hut
j each successive advance has been grea
ter than the preceding, ami that the num
ber of its support--rs has steadily increas
ed at every successive struggle in Con
gress.
Considered in reference to the condi
tion of the country, and the wants of the
Government, the recent struggle, and
the measure which has resulted limn it.
form no exception to this remark. In
deed. it may be affirmed with confidence,
that the system is. at this moment, strong
er than it ever has been at any former
period.
In IMlf?, with n vast public debt to dis -
charge, it was necessary to provide un
annual revenue oftjcil.OffO.OOO. It is not
necessary now, to provide more than
half that sum. If, therefore, in ISit;, the
protecting duties did not average more
than 'Jo per cent, when it was necessary
to provide twenty-four millions of reve
nue, it clearly follows that, upon the j,rin
eijdes of the act of I —lA, without refer
ence to its prospective reduction*, tin
protecting duties should now he reduced
to lt*4 jser cent, when it is hot necessary
I to provide a revenue of more limn
000.000.
\ et. what are the provisions of the act
ji\ cently passed ! The burthens of the
j ///•■',Vr/har (Aid. # are decidedly increased,
estimating the cash duties mu! diminish
ed credits, and they now actually stand
at an average of more than 50 per cent.
while the duties oa the uitprutsacd ur tides,
which, upon every principle of equably
and Justice, should sustain the prmeijtul
pm t -•! the burthens of taxation, are. w ith
a. few inconsiderable exceptions, entirely
repealed Upon those inaiiaf ielures which
•ue received in exchange, ibr the staple
productions of the Southern abates, the
agrcgide increase ot the bunions of tax
a ion, beyond what they were, under the
tariff’of ta'JS. is behevad to ho upwards
of one million of dollars; whiUs the re
duction or repeal of the duties on those
m orts which are received in exchange
for the productions of tiic tariff’state's
and are principally consumed in those
Males, amounts to about lour millions ot
debars. .\\ Idle, therefore, the t*ggre
j gate burthens of taxation are diminished
1 four millions ol’ dollars hy lliis bit!, the
i positive burthens of the Southern (States
t arc not diminished at all. and their rela
! live burthens are very greatly increased.
The relief which those chutes will derive
as consumers, from the reduction and re
peal of the duties on the exchanges of
the iNoytii, will rot be more than equiva-
lent to the increased burthens iniporedl;
on the exchanges of the Mouth. 11
other hand, those increased but the ns on
the exchanges of tho Mouth, operate as
bounties to the manufacturing stales, to I
die amount of more than a million ol dol
lars and the reduction and repeal ol du
ties on their exchanges nnd consump
! tion operate as a relief to them cl a. h u-*
three millions more. It results bom all
this that the manufacturing States are
relieved and benefitled by the provision
ot the new tariff', to the amount ot lour
, millions of dollars annually, while the
> unequal and oppressive burden© oldie
i pluming States are not only uiidummsU
. ed, hut greatly aggravated by their m
, creased inequality. Their burthens arc
precisely the same now, that the Govern
ment requires only twelve millions ol
1 1 revenue, that they were, w hen it required
. double that amount. The extinguish
, meat of the public debt, to widen they
. looked forward with the most cheering
. anticipations, brings them no rebel. On
. the contrary, it gives them tho most un
equivocal assurance of their hopeless
. condition and Ijnai destiny, so far us these
. can be iixed by Congress, It may ho
, 1 -mid with perfect truth, that even ” hop*,
. which comes to nil," comes not to them.
- There never will occur again, a period
so propitious ns that which lias just gone
! hy for urging upon Congress the claims
| oi’llic planting .States, to be relieved from
■ tlie inn then’s of unconstitutional and oj>-
jirc.isi ve taxation. Vet, those claims!
have been urged in vain upon an intcr
, ested and irresponsible majority.
'i’hey have now made their ultimate
concession, and even that was yielded
with great reluctance, and accompanied |
by the decinlioii of their leading ndvo-j
rates, dm! tlie protecting duties would I
bo heretifler increased, particularly on |
j woollen inanuli*clures, if tidy per centum ;
j would be (bund an insufficient protection 1
with cash duties, that are equivalent to t
r ten per centum more. W hat, then, is |
the boasted compromise offered to the
Muntheiii States by this new tariff? It is
nothing more nor less than such an artful
arnuigeinent-ot the duties upon imports,
us throws iiic entire burthen of federal'
taxation uj-on tlie productions of these ■
Stales, while the tariff’States arc not on- 1
ly exempted from any portion oi that bur- j
then, (jut actually gain more than they 1
lose by the entire operation of the sys•»
tern. Nothing is more obvious to those, t
who look through the whole scheme, in |
all its bearings, than that the rnunafactu 1
ring States would not consent lo an on- i
tire repeal of tlie federal taxes, viewed
m the light of:i mere question of jiceuni
ary gain, and without reference to the
fiscal wants of the Government, Their
whole course evinces, what is undoubt
edly she fact,that they have a proprietary
ih farin the. laris, ins tead of feeling them
ua tv burthen. As a necessary eons©
queue© of tills state of things, the produc
tions cud the property of the phiating
•Stales, are absolutely sul>je< t to the con
trol of nil irresponsible and despotic mu
jority, who have converted tiic wiioie
■Ssetd operations of the Government, Hi
lo the mere means of levying 'contribu
tions from the industry of those States,
to nourish uad sustain the rival industry t
oi the mamifaeturing Mtnies. The sub- j
siamtal rigtu of property, .in the piuniu- |
lions ofthe Mouth, is in the majority who I
exercise this irresponsible power of ex
action, and those who vainly 1 unglue
they arc the proprietors, are, in truth,
mere stewards, receiving ju l such pro
portion of the annual income, as tin.-
proprietary government, the majority,
may chose to allow them. The natural
eileet of iliia anomalous action of the go
vernment, is that reckless extravagance
in tlie ujiprojniulion oftiic public money
. for every purpose,-whether cunslitutiun
. id or unconstitutional, by which the to
; gi.-lniioo of Gongress has been charac
terized ibr several years past, and never
to a mote, ui inning extent than during
the present session, 'i ids has been slid
kmgly ©xemplilied by the establishment

. all iuu volunteers and militia, who serv-
I c ’d s * x months during liie revolutionary
war, without any regard ti> their pecuni
ny circumstances, tind involving the
annual expenditure of several millions of
dollars; by new and extravagant appro
prialions 1,,r iatcnit 1 inijaovemeiils ol' a
mere local nature, to an extent a'toge
. ther Without example; by an uUemjit,
i successful in one brunch of the i,cgis!a

in both, t,> distribute annually among the
Mtak-s, three millions of the public reve
anc: and linnlly. !<y un aggregate in
■ crease of the appropriations of the (ire
sent session, beyond the estimates of the
« he i reasnry, and beyond the ordinary
i j expenditures of the* Government, of not
I Ivss than live millions of dollars. No one
can witness the proceedings of Congress
. on these appropriations, without per
. reiving indications not lo he mistaken,
that the Federal (»- >verninenl has degen
erated into a mere political engine, for
regulating the labor, nnd distributing die
wealth ot the country, tqjon the most ar-’
biii’iiry principles, nnd by levying the
i most oppressive exactions on one por
| tion ol tlie Union, to bo bestowed in jts'o
lific bounties on another. Already ha\ e
the principles, consecrated hy oar an
cestors in the revolutionary struggle, un
dergone u radical change, nnd a large
majority of the jieopie of this Union actu
ally regard taxation as a public blessing,

TROM THE CHARLESTON EVENING POST, JL’LV 31.
MliiiTlUl Ol'
THE STATE BIGHTS PARTY.
We were in hopes ofiiavinglhe oifie.i
al account, blit not receiving if, we to:.y
from the Mercury ofthis Morning, the
notice of tne crowded and spirited f.tsiol
of the State Rights and free Trade Par
ty, last evening.
It was the most numerous public meet
ing ever held in our city, Nothing couid
luive been more delightful to witness,
than the overflow ofieding with which
Gen. Hayisk was greeted. Wo were
pleased to observe that a number of the
Union Party were in attendance. It is
to be wished that the whole Union Party
not only of Charleston, but of the fat,ate,
could have heard that gentleman’s
speceh. He tore flic veil of delusive
modification from the new Tariff Bill,
and exhibited the oppression and injus
tice of the system now rivetted upon us
by Congress, in one of the mo.-t satisfuc
! tor}' and perspicuous expositions that
we ever heard. He showed by compar
ling the new bill with Mr. McCone's,
i which was intended to reduce 8,000.001)
on protected articles, that it was Imposed.
: ble that such a reduction could beefier t d ■
Iby the Jji iUU'. He raised the indigna
tion and i-scli xi the laughter of the uudi
cnee hy recountioc facts illustrative of
die views of the monopolists—-their min
gled era It, impudence, and open and un
blushing sacrifice of justice to their ova n
interests. We will not attempt a sketch
ofthis speech, which we hope'will he
given to the press. Eloquent as he al
ways is, we never heard General flayne
; more eloquent. Repealed hursts of en
s fhusinsm testified the effect efhis words
1 upon his audience, and we doubt not that
I extensive benefit must result from this
I most auspicious opening of the so cmer
campaign.
FROM THE MACON AUMiHTIsTH, JULY 31.
THE RANK OK MACO.N HAS
PA I LEI)!
Within a few days past, much excite
meal has prevailed in our little hustling
community, by so important an event ns
the failure ofihe Bunk of Macon. It hns
closed doors, stopped payment of its
bids, and there is every prospect of its
never resuming business. From all that
we can learn, and we, have sought so he
come acquainted with the facts, yet we,
like others, are un ddc to state, what par
ton ofihe etbis v. ill lie paid. The Raid*
lias constituted assgi secs, (Messrs. !■',}}. 1
Tracy, t,'. R. f'ole, and A, is Freeman.) j
and turned over to them (lie entire man i
ageintfit of the lutsincss—to whirh ihey
are devoting active attention, and ns
soon us they can do so, they will more
fully acquaint the public with the cmdi
lion <■( the Rani;, and the facts which
may bn developed.
We commence this morning, the pub
lication of the speech of Mr. llojjuy, of
Georgia, a? the late celebration of the -'ltlt
of duly in Appling. Wo shall publish
it in portions, that ms one may he deter
;ed by its length from reading it—and
vve ask the people to read the extracts
as they successively appear, and to rend
them carefully, it is not for its ability
alone, (though we have seldom met with
a more masterly argument in support of
the State Rights doctrines,) but because
it is a voice from Georgia, (and an ardent
and hnpnssi mod voice) in favor of South
Carolina—doing {’all justice to her mo
tives—approving her conduct—sustain
ing her principles—and breathing the
most firm and patriotic determination to j
sustain her in any attitude she may think
proper to assume, and to share her fate,
whatever it may be, in the event of a
conliict with the Federal Government.
Mr. H. answers “Oglethorpe,” who,
amongst ns,had been sufficiently answer
ed ulieady, and puts an end to tbe sophis
try by which ti: :» writer had attempted
to p'ove that Nullification must result
in war and revolution. lie shows that I
there is nndiftercnce ia principle Ik-i ween 1
the Nullification of Georgia and that of I
f 'arohna, and that Georgia is bound by
political consistency, as well as by her
high wrought love el liberty, to net upon
her principles, and to unite with Caroli
na in resisting the monstrous tyranny cl
the protective system, which is now
proclaimed as the settled policy of the
Government. lie draws a forcible pic
iurc of the present situation of the Smith
—strenuously urges (he duty of resis
tance—explains the consequences which
should and those which rn<nj result from it.
and seems a iiitlo jealous of tin- honor
that belongs to ‘ 'aroltna, from hcrhaviiu;
led the van in such a glorious struggle
for Liberty and the t on aitution, even
whilst he admires her principles, lauds
tu r conduct, and candidly admits that
siic deserves hat honour. To every
tr.-c friend of .State Rights, the whole
cceli will he acceptable, and much of
*• '"g'y'y animating mid inUresting. The
style is perspicuous and eloquent—(lie
i> a sorting clear mul cogent—the seati
iii> nls manly, elevated, and patriotic
am! the spirit worthy of a Georgian—-n
spirit w hich we wish couid lie transfused
lot.ie bosom of every ( arolinian. 'i’hc
'i eecli ot Mr. 11. is one amongst a host
oi evidences, that resistance to the Tariff
is rapidly gaining ground in Georgia, and
that as Georgia is said to bo somewhat
radons that •'South Gapoli.u. --liouGl have

• some reason to ajstirehend on her pat )
that her noble sister may vet overtake,
