Col. Towns Again*
The Telegraph in explanation of the vote of Col.
Towns in the Legislatu r e in 1830—says :
“ Even the Messenger we presume, will admit that
np to 1840, both parties end all men ofevery party hi
the Stale, were oppoa# and to a protective tariff or one
framed to benefii a particular branch of industiy to the
prejudice of all others. The difference between the **o
called Stutes Rights ami Union Parti, a of this State
previous to 1840, was simply a question of remedy ai:d
not of principle , both weie alike opposed to the Tanfr
of 1828. The Slates Righ t party were in favor ot iid
ding themselve* of its onerous burdens, by extreme
measures of resistance, while the Union party, of which
Col Towns was a memb r, prefered appealing to the
justice of their country men and the calm convictions
of the public mind for a redress of grievances. Such
in pari, were the issues involved in the resolutions to
which the Messenger alludes, against which Colonel
Towns voted while a member of the Legislature, and
not as that paper would have its readers understand,
upon the naked question of the Tariff itself.
Unless the Messenger can bring other and belter
proof than it has, to show that Col. Towns has like it
self, changed his views upon the tariff, it will hardly
succeed in convincing: any one that he has.”
Well, we will bring proof, and sucb as cannot bo
controverted. In the Telegraph of last week, we were
challenged “to stale definitely wherein Col Towns,
hud changed his views upon the Turiff in the slight
est particular. 11 In ieply, we stated that Col. Towns
bad changed (not in a slight particular) hut upon that
great and momentous point— the constitutionality of
a protective Tariff. By way of a rejoinder, the Tele
grph tells us—that previously to 1840, we all thought
alike upon the question of a Tarifl!—that the only
difference between the IState Rights and Union par
ty wua simply a question of remedy and not of princi
ple. This is not only an evuion of our direct state
ment, but a mistake. The opposing parties in 1830
waged a bitter war. never befoic or since parallelled in
Virulence, and the is-ue was principle —it was ; n a
word, the Tariff , and this fact we shall proceed to
show, in a very few words.
When the House took took up the preamble and
resolutions from the Senate, upon the subject of a Ta •
riff, Internal Improvements, and the re-election of (Jen.
Jackson, Mr. Towns from Talbot, offered a substitute
comprising a preamble and a aeries of resolutions
which me admit, rather involved question of remedy
than of principle —But to cue of these resolutions, an
amendment was offered, which involved a simple ques
tion of principle , and ‘ nothing else,” and the vote
of Mr. Towns upon this question, shows conclusively
what his views then were upon a vital principle.
In the Jout rial of the House, we find that Mr. Beall
of Twiggs, mo\ed to insert the w ord • unconstitution
al ’ in one of the resolutions, so that it might read that
the Tariff law of 1828 was manifestly unconstitution
al and unjust/ Upon this motion, the Yeas were *OO,
Nays 26. Many a democrat voted in the affirmative,
but Mr. Towns was not one of them , he voted in the
negative , thus positively dsclaring his belief in the con
slitutinoality nf a protective Tariff. Has he not
changed then in a slight particular ? We ask again.
Another Falsehood United.
In * fiendish spirit, the dfcinhcracy nut only nfiw
theii sympathies to poor cheated and betrayed Penn
sylvania, but actually make their wailing* and lumen
lationa subject es ridicule. It ia not enough, that ihey
have ruined lha*e thick headed iron-monge ra, hut they
make cruel eport of them, for being such easy good
riatured dupee. They have lately taken another tick,
and are now initiating upon the fact—that u reduction
of duties fiom 75 to 30 pet cent is actually a benefit
to the iron interest, and, a* a confirmation of Ihia novel
principle, the pieas cites a particular inslar.ee, giving
name and place, where the Manager of some iron
works had raised the wage* in hie eelal liahment on ac
count of the passage of the new tariff bill, thereby con
veying the idea, that hie interests were to he so much
advanced by the new measure, that he could afford hi*
workmen increased wages.
The story is so supremely ridiculous, as to carry
with it in own refutation. The Manager of the iron
establishment alluded to, haa thought it worth while
to give it a flat contradiction, and as he ia lnni-vlf a Lo.
foco, we suppose his authority will hold good with
thoae of the same stripe.
From tht New Jersey Fredonian.
Mr. Edward Cooper, manager of the Trenton Iron
Works, himself we undereland a Lcicofneo, who was
reported by the free trede advocates to have raised the
wagea in this establishment on account of the passage
of the new tariff bill, feels himself constrained to the
subjoined contradiction:
Tiikktois Ihos Wunni, Aug. 31, 1816.
UiUTliMae —About ten day* since, my attention
waa called to a paragraph in your esteemed paper, mid
which I believe has passed the general round of circu
lation, stating that the wagea of the hands employed in
the Trenton Iron Works had been roisid in conse
quence of the passage of the tariff of 1 846. I forbore
to contradict the eieieinent at the time, as it seemed te
me clear that every intelligent men, at all conversant
with the state and prospects of tha mm business, would
■ee at once that it was an entire error, and had origina
ted in some misconception. But finding that it haa
been lten*iely copied and widely quoted and com
mented upon by the advocates of the new tariff. I am
compelled lo contradict the statement entirely, and to
beg that you will giva the correction the benefit of
your eilenaive circulation. It must be apparent that
the reduction in the tariff will and bia already reduced
!h- price of iron, and that the loss which will accrue
must fall alike on capital and labor; and wages, so far
from being advanced, must, as a matter of absolute ne
cessity, be very considerably reduced between this and
the firet of December next, eo as to meet a tailing mar
ket, aud after that still wore considerably, unless Con-
I’.iess, at its next Session, shall make toe requisite, mod
ifications in the tariff to enable labor to receive its just
reward.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.
EDWARD COOPER,
Manager of (be Trenton Iron Works,
Direct Taxation Coining.
I oe reduction of the Turiff of M 2, us well as certain
indications, prematurely made perhaps bv the zealous j
advocates of Free Trade, were ominous of a radios I
change that was contemplated in the whole financial,
system of tho country. This change is nearer at hand j
than we supposed. The loeofneo press at the North
have made a demonstration, and boldly broach the doc- j
trine of Direct Taxation. The new doctrine, it is he- 1
lieved, will be received with flh'orby the masses at the
North, for without property themselves, and with no
expectation of accumulating,ihey will be relieved from ,
all the burthens of Government The state of things is
very different at the South. Should direct taxation be
substituted far indirect taxation , the burthen will main
ly. certainly very unequally, fall upon the South. The
holder of slave property, mid the industrious poor man.
who invests his hard earned gains in this species nf prop
erty, who constitute the masses with us, would partic
ularly experience the oppression of this system. There
is no disguising the fact, that direct taxation by the
General Government, has always been,and will contin
ue to be, in bad odor with the people of the Southern
Siutep. We eheerftilly pay our State and county taxes,
knowing that they are applied to our own immediate
use and benefit ; but the exactions of the Federal Gov
ernment, a very small poitionof which will he returned
to us in any substantial benefits, but will be applied to
the improvement of roads, rivers and harbors, the con
struction of forts, building of ships, maintaining an ar
mv and navy, and a thousand other objects of national
interest, this species of tribute will be most reluctantly
yielded. The people of the South, democrats as well
us whiffs, will brook with n bad grace, the periodical
visitations of a double sett of tax receivers and tax col
lectors.
“But to this complexion must they come at last.’’
The svstem may be repudiated by the southern locofo
co press, and disclaimed with a certain degree of indig
nation, (an ominouseymptoth is exhibiting itself in the
recent silence of the press upon the subject) but that in
a very short time it will be the cardinal and recognised
principle in the democratic creed, there can be no ques
tion. It is the special office of the leading loeofoe**
presses at the North to smooth the way, and prepare
the public mind for the “experiment.” In due time the
“progressive” principle of democracy will make it*<
way South, and this odious system, when its rough edg
es are smoothed down, and we become more familiar
ised with it, will be first endured and then embraced, as
the only true democratic mode of taxation.
But to the indications of the press. The N. Y. Jour
nal of Commerce, soys:
“'There is one idea which all the papers who talk in
this wav seem not to have thought of, viz; that there
are various way a of raising revenue by what is ordinari
ly termed direct taxation. Excises and stumps arc not
tariffs on imports, and do not apply any especial burth
en on the r>outh. It such a tax were proposed as ihe
constitution directs shall he apportioned, according to
representation, our impression is that the South would i
vote for it. But if we must threaten, we should like to
ask these defiers what they would think of adopting the
system, so successful in England, of an income tax—a
tax,>*b von ail incomes greater than five hundred dollars
.annual) v ; a tax on gold watchea, coaches, notes of hand,
&r, \\ ould such a plan displease the masses.and up- I
set the democracy ?’*
Aga.n:
The • Journal of Commerce,” noticing some charg
es the Providence Journal and Richmond Whig have
brought against jt. of favoring direct taxation instead
of a collection of taxes by the customs, says:
“We state the truth about a rising favor for direct
taxation, and eive it a* our opinion that further agita
tion of the tariff question will be likely to result in fur
ther reductions ; and these papers meet ths mallei with
slang and 101 l us we threaten.”
The “Globe” has an article something in the same
vein :
••It is now no uncommon opinion among a large
number of our people that a system of direct taxation
will have to be adopted ultimately in this country, and
we believe throughout the world. But few who be
lieve in the truth of this doctrine attempt to conceal
their opinions. An expression of their opinions no
longer injures, but rather strengthens their popuiatity
with the people. Thete is a disposition among Demo
cia’s to give the new tariff a teir trial, so that capital
invested under it mav have a fair chance to prepare
for a change, still farther reducing the duties; for,
res’ assured, there will be no change but one of ctiil
further reduction A system of direct taxation would
benefit ninety nine men out of every hundred. ‘I here
fore we are willing to appeal to the interests of the peo
ple in settling this question.”
Ih Democratic Review, high authority with the
party treats the subject verv elaborately. Speaking of
the inconveniences of the Turiff it says:
‘/The evil has become so great as to lead to the con
sideration, w hetlier ti should not be counteracted by in
entire, rtbandoimrent of indirect taxes, and an abolition
of tbs Custom House. By such a course t* patronage
of some 11,000 offices will be taken out of the hands of
the Federal Government, and n source of vast corrup
tion dried up. The wants of the Federal Government
rnay be 22 millions per annum, besides the land ieve.
hues. This could easily he raised bv fax appoi tinned
among the .Stat# a.
A**, for instance, the mill tax of New York yielded
$655,007. a two mill tax would give at least $1,500,000.
w hich would be collected without any increase of ma
chinery by the Comptroller of N. York, with the .State
Taxes, arid placed to the credit of the Federal Treasury.
The collection would not coat a dollar, and the support
of ibe Federal Government would fall upon property in
*tsad of upon labor. ‘The economy and feasibility of
such a system is superior If# that ofc •atoms. Bv’the
removal of the l itter, many evils would he remedied,
particularly that of every few yea-s nrra\ing the innr.tr
ficturein against the Government, and making the dis
tress or work people the means of warfare.”
A democratic paper out West, the Quincy Herald
holds out a feeler us follows :
“Direct taxation is the very reverse of indirect taxa
tion. It is a taxation upon property, not consumption.
Under such a system ot taxation, rerv man pays, ea
nearly as may be (for no system approximates to exact
justice) upon the amount of property he ow ns, and not
upon the quantity and value of the article he eats, drinks
and wears. It i#., therefore a just and holiest system of
taxation, under w hich every inun know s how much he
pa vs, and for what he pays. It is always called by its
right name, viz : tax , and not price. It deceives no
body.”
‘These are sign* not to be mistaken. But aside from
rurh extra official indications. What other alternative
is left to the party ? They condemn protection as a
principle . and it is plainly indicated that what they have
already achieved in reducing the tariff, is hut “the be
ginning of the end.” The great “consummation so de
voutly wished for” bv nil true democrats is speedily to
follow— the removal of alt import duties. an entireaban
dohmentof aft indirect taxes, and the abolition of Cus
tom Douses. Then if our public debt, which will soon
he one hundred millions, is not to be repudiated, and it ,
the wheels of Government are to be kept greased and !
moving, the only resort is direct taxation.
Discrimination against Home L.n
bor, iiuil in favor ol ftrilisli Interests.
The new Tariff bill possesses s distinctly* feature,
which is so outrageously anti-American, that it has not
received the notice and opprobrium it merits. The
Democratic party have not only evinced their determin
ed hostility to American capital and industry, hy so
precipitate and extravacant n reduction upon imported
fabrics, ns to withdraw beyond a doubt capital from
manufactures, and which, in time, must break up the
whole system of home industry .—but by a large in
crease of the duties on the raw material imported into
this country by manufacturers, have actually discrimi
nated in favor of British and against American labor.
Most of these articles used in the raw state in the va
rious aits, and by our manufacturers, Imre a very small
duty. The Democracy, in their tender cure for the
British manufacturer, have imposed duties upon them
ranging from sto 30 per cent. These increased duties
on the raw material, and diminished duties on the im
ported fabrics inadt from those materials, amount to a
prohibition. not on imports, but an manufactures.
Can any ore tell us the motive of this netuble mote?
It could not he to increase the revenue, for that would
be at variance with their own doctrine. Can it be for
nnv thing else than to daatrov American and onaouragu (
Foreign industry ?

A Speculation*
We learn that the Mules which were bought up here
for the use of the “Army of Occupation,” ano which
have been for Borne time fattening at Blakely, opposite
Mobile, will he offered for sale. ‘These animals, with
all the incidental expenses of keeping, attendance, Svc..
will cost the Government about $l5O a head. At n
(limiter .Masters sale they may possibly bring S2O.
But what's the odds ? it is the people’s money that goes.
To those who are not particular about the age of mules,
a speculation is now offered. But perhaps they may
prove a hard bargain on any terms.
15 read-stuffs.
The democratic papers are copying from the Wash- j
ington Union, the most deceptive print in tha country,]
and which oftener makes mistake* than any other, an
article going to show that the new Tariff has created an
creased demand in England for bread stuffs, and ronse- 1
quenlly an increased price. Every intelligent observer
knows to what cause to ascribe this increased demand
for bread Bluffs. The some thing took place this time a
year ago. and for a similar reason. It is in prospect of
a failure ot the potato crop, and the prices current, and
commercial letters,all state the fact explicitly, that the
state of the corn market in England will depend upon
the condition of the crops.
If the new Tariff has occasioned a rise in bread stuffs,
how happens it, that flour is lower now in England,
than it was the same time last year?
The American Tariff has no more to do with the regu
lating the price of bread stuffs, than a Mexicun pronun
ciamento.
Lnie Foreign Newft.
The steamer Cambria arrived at Boston on the 19tli
instant, and brings dates from I.iverpool to the 4th.
There had been soma improvement in the price of
Colton, and considerable sales. Speculators had taken
it at one-eighth to a fourth of a penny advance. This
was in consequence of the accounts by the Hibernia of
the lateness of the crop—a circumstance w hich may not
result to the benefit ot the speculators, as the amount
of the crop is yet to be decided.
There lias been an increased demand for Torn at an
improvement of two shillings cn 4CO lbs. The highest
price for 480 lbs. being 30 shillings, $6 34 1-3 cts.
Flour has also advanced some, and “good Western
Canal” woald command 26 s. and 6 and. to 28 shillings,
w ith tke duties paid, per barrel—being $5 92 per bur
rel—and only about 92 cents over w hat common coun
try flour sells at in our streets At these prices a large
loss must result to the American shipper, as has been
the case on all our late exports of flour to England.— •
The demand for earn and flour even to this extent, has
been occasioned by the failure of their potato crop.
The grain crops have been gathered in ihe British
Island, and the general impression is that wheat will he
an average yield. Oats the same. Tolutore, owing to
die see, are every where a failure.
The. news from America announcing that the Ameri
can government hud made overtures of peace to the re
public nf Mexico, caused a great change in the nspect
of Mexican affairs, and produced quite a revolution in
the niarket value of that stock.
The Bank of England has lowered its rale of interest
to 3 per cent., and the effect has been visible in improv
ing the price of public funds. This movement gives
greater facilities to trade, ami is intended to obviate all
evil consequences ot the failure in tire potato crop.
Considerable discussion has taken place in the French
journals relative to the leceut alterations in the Ameri
can tariff
The Constitutionel thinks the tariff still too high, and
enforces on the American government the necessity of
establishing docks and “entre pots.”
Later from the Rio Grande.
The U. S. steamer Telegraph arrived at Nf w Orleans,
from Brazos Santiago, on the 18th inst. She left the
Brazos on the 12th instant, and brought 35C sir k and
discharged soldiers.
I!v this arrival we have news from to the

The whole force on the inarch so Monterey is estimated

By this arrival we do not hear a word more of the

Volunteers and Regulars.
We are sorry to see that the vofuutreis and regulars
who compose the “Army of Occupation” do not har
monize. The newspaper correspondents from the ar
my, and who are V. &. officers, have no particuUrysiu
than/for •citizen soldier*.’ They witte moi disparag
ingly of volunteers, representing them as fiadioue and
contentions, dissatisfied with every body and every
thing, murmuring with (heir rations, as well ss their
duties, and in general insubordinate and unmanagea
ble. Tbit is a snd account of those who have left ibeir
homes and families to fight the battles of their country#
and the slandtr, if it be a slander, is a sorry requital
sot their many sacrifices. Soldiers, however, ns well
ax statesmen, are very apt to experience tbe truth of
the maxim •Republics are ungrateful/
That among raw recruits theie are many hard rase*’
there is no doubt; that marry of the companies, regi

are satisfied; and that volunteers, as a class, are defi
cient in that essential of a soldier, which that famous
veteran, Sir Charles Napier, pi scat* ahead of valor—
discipline, any one who has served a campaign will
freely admit; hut there aie exceptions, many and hoti
orable, and when they do occur, should be noted and

the gratification of the many friends of the volunteers,
who are not only solicitous for their aafriy, but eenri
tively alive to their fair fame.
Piddtering u not an agreeable vocation aoy way it
I can be fixed, and, except when followed as a profes
sion, is poor business. Fighting constitutes a very
small pait of it: labor and drudgery of the most servile
kind have to he endured; fatigue, exposure, and every
possible privation encountered ; the amgance and con
tumely of superiors, •armed with a little brief authori
ty* have to be submitted to; and the demoralizing, and
often degrading associations of the camp make the life
of u soldier an unenviable one, and volunteers after a
very short experience, regard it with unmitigated dis
gust. We fully concur in the opinions expressed by 1
the disbanded volunteers from Louisiana, that if the i
Government has o job of fighting on hand in an ene
my's country, it should have a regular army large e
nough to do it, and volunteers should be left to their
proper and legitimate duties, the protection ol the coun
try from invasion and indirection.
We heartily wish our friends at home We have no
fears that they will incur any censure for misconduct
or insubordination, but as we have not the least idea
that there will he any fighting lor them, or that any
honor or laurels are to he won, we with to nee them
back again in Ihtir propet sphere, the walks of civil
life.
I hese reflections have been occasioned by reading a
number of letters from the officers of ihe U. S. Army,
and published in the different papers of the country, re
flecting in harsh tenns upon the volunteers. The fob
lowing extract from the correspondent of the National
Intelligencer is to the point;
Out regulars are the be4 troops in the world ; they
probably have not the polish of the rogulart of Euro
pean armies; but. in all the essential* of discipline, they
cannot he They cam’ to Texas without a
murmur, endured the ennui and discomfort of camp at
Corpus ( hriNti, and made the fatiguing much from
that place to the Rio Grande, all in good spirits, hut
without any particular enthusiasm. ‘They worked hard
at Fort Brown, arid worked willingly. They coolly
sustained iqe fight of the Bth, and duiing the fight of
the 9th was ttie first lime that I ever saw them show
the least feeling ul esc tement. But this soon died a
way. I hey eutered Mdlimoros, but without au air ol
triumph that w uld irisull the feelings of Hie Mexicans.
1 lie people here have for the regulars a respect, aim *st
an alicction—the same at Keynosu, which place! visit
ed. I hey may enter the houses, hut they pay a strict
regard to the conventionalities of good breeding. 1
know of families who encouraged the visits of the reg
ulars, for the purpose ol having them us guardians u
gainst the volunteers. The instances of drunkenness
in the i-lreetsby regulais have been few, those of brea
ches of the peace fewer still. ‘These two fig its nave
dune great things for the morale of oui men. They
do not boast and brag of wlul they have done, but
they think much ot it, end feel proud and grateful that
the people of the United Slat# s should speak so highly
of it. Congress cun do much at the present time to
benefit our army. Let those medals be struck that
were spoken ol; let the men wear the same as the offi
cers; and let euch regiment be authorised by an act of
Congre s to have on its baiters the name of the fights.
This will serve to fiive a tone and a rallying point of
feeling in our service which it has long wanted. With
our regulais I would trust myself any where, relying
firmly on their forbearance, their discretion, their cool
ness and firmnc.-s 1 must ray that ‘.he volunteers have
made no favorable impression on my mind. The ma
jority came evidently impressed with the feeling that a
slate of war is a state of license. They have destjoyed
the property, insulted the women, and maltreated ihe
men of ihe cuii ly, and convened Matamoios into a
thaatie of drunkenness and brawls, with awaggenng
and swearing actors. The officers seem to have no
control over them. They say they came to fight, and
not to work ; and they manifest a thousand such agree
able traits of character. How they wifi be it! a tight,
I cannot say ; but I expect they will be good for one
impulsive charge, arid that is all we want, I think.—
The majority ol them are sick of soldiering already . I
kn >w that the six thousand Irom Louisiana were; the
majority went home not only sweating never to volun
teer again, but to insist upon the United States having
a regular army large enough to do her occasional jobs
of fighting. ‘J’he good behavior of our soldiers, and
the kind treatment they receive from their officers,
struck these men very forcibly, as it contrasted very
Rtrorrglv with tbe conduct of ibeir own tioops and their
own officers.

Our friends of the Republican, direct our attention to
the frequent instances of absence from his Congression
al duties at the last session, by the member from this
District, Col. Towns. These deln quencies have often
been spoken of,and the question bus been raised, wheth
er his absence was occasioned bv a desire to avoid the
responsibility of responding to the yeas and nays,or
whether he was engaged in other a\ocation6. We re
member a motion w as made at the last session, to reduce
the pay of memheis, and another, that when absent their
pay should stop. Did Col. Towns vote upon either of
these motions, and how T
Eight dollars ad iv is good pay, an J the voters of Ibis
District desire thut their public servant should earn his
wagea,

This is another of impracticable schemes of the
Adiniiiitre'iq,|. |, y every Secretary of ihe
I regap. r y | egcvpl the sapient Sir Koherl Walker, ab
•''id in O',eery,every one predicted that it nevrr would
ot carried into effective Operation. The very brief peri
"d it haa been in existence, has verified the predictioo.
It ia in fact, a nullity, and every pitiful shift haa been re
sorted to, in order In evade its requisition*. Checks, cer
tificates, and time drufla, are received aaa substitute for
inaaev, and in lart, Ihe operation of the syaiein will
eventuate in what the democracy prolees su much lo
abhor, ail exclusive paper currency.
The following exhibit, shows how it works in practice:
Sub Treasury in New York. —The New York Itt
let writer of the National Intelligencer, under date of
14th inat. save
Out city this morning has been in somewhat of an
excilenient in relatiun to Treasury notes, I had nam
< il lo me ono liihk which has $20,000 of these notes ;
‘another bank from SIO,OOO lo $15,000; all payable
one year alter date, with interest at the rale of out mill
per annum.
The deposits banka receive these notes in deposite,
ao long us they ore kept at par and the Government
has money in bank. On ihe first of (Ins month the
public deposits in ihe ciiy amounted to $2.400,000.
More than this sum, on that day, remained in the banks
but all the checks drawn on them hod not yet been pre
sented. My opinion is that ihe present som total of
Government deposits does not exiedc $2 000,000.
I Ihe deposits hanks have an arrangement among
j themselves that the banks whose week it is lo receive
Ihe money from the Custom-house, shell, during that
week, receive all the Treasury n ilea that may he col
lected.
I wag present in the Custom-house this morning
when several eiitiies were making, and the duiieswe e
paid in I reasury notes. One gentleman inform dme
dial Ihe Treasury notes were paid him at the bank, and
that the bank had received them from t. broker.
Anolhi r bank officer stated that tho Government had
remitted a large amount of llieae notes to a Paymaster,
or some other disbursing officer, who had taken Ihetn
10 a bank, and deposited them lo bis own credit, and
then drew his check or checks on die hank for such
suniK as ho had lo pay oil account of die Government.
.Now all ihia serves to show you that, thus far, it
amounts to a complete adandoment ot the Sub Treas
ury law. That law, in the course of a few moot s,
will suffer so tnidy violations that no further notice of
them will lie deemed necessary or even expedient.—
I heap I Inter, are now being paid into Ihe Custom-house.
I ho Secreturv has given certain instructions, as to the
cancelling ol them, preparatory to a re issue, which is
to he done by a new note, and not by placing the same
note in circulation. Is it intended lo carry the
law. and die Trrasuiy instructions, founded thereon,
into effect ! I doubt It; but we shall see. If any gro-s
violation on this subject is resorted lo I shall probably
know it, and wdi keep you advised.
d.i ILp citizens of Macon, must bear in mind, that

i’o flu* Hliigs of Hie ‘1 liird Congrcf
siimal District.
As die election is approaching an old comrade wish
es to address two considerslijiia lo you, that should a
rouse us all up to action—
I he ti si is, lhat if Col, Towns again succeeds, Ihe
Dislricl is democratic lieyond dispute. At the list e
leciiou many causes operated lo induce a stale of
things, which rendered the result in the opinion of all
parties accidental. Democrats and VV tugs have regard
ed Col. I owns eleclion as fortuitous, and even die in
cumbent himself, has clearly intimated on ihe floor of
Congress, that lie represented a Constituency the major
ity of wnom ililfered with him politically, Fellow
Whigs, if Col. Towns is re-elected, it will not he again i
the result of accidental causes.it will not hai* tube
set down to the apathy or divisions of our parry. No! j
11 will be a fair democratic triumph accomplished by j
superiority of numbers, and candor will compel us all
lo admit that the District lias changed us politics. It ‘
then, wo wish to continue the Third District a Whig j
District, let us rally for the contest, and win a victory,
that will decide Hip quesil m.
I be second consideration I offer you is, lhat the e
lection ol die next President may lie thrown upon lb*
House of Representative*—upon the vole of the Hep ‘
resentalive of this District, may depend ihe vote of die !
Slate of Gent git, and Georgia may have die hnnor of i
making the President, 4 es. fellow-citiZ'T.s, our Rep- |
resentalive mav have lo deride whether the gallant old ‘
Harry of die Weal, or die unlerrified “Old Rough and
Ready.'’ or snaiemher illustrious Whig, shall be our 1
next President. We hope and believe the Whigs of
the Union will sweep every tiling before them in ’4B. j
as they did in ’4O, but to exercise a prudent forecast. |
let ua, follow wings, send lo Congress a Representative
who will relied nur sentiments, ts the eleclion of Pres
ident should chance to fail by die college of Electors. ■
Ponder upon these tliingn Whigs of the Third Dis
trict, and let them nerve us for the Contest—let us or
ganise at once—let every man determine to enme lo
the pulls, and orge his neighbors to do the sune. Our
candid Ite is a sterling Whig, then let us support him
as the exponent of oor principles.
