Governor Troup haa written
suhjeut of the Tariff and the Presidential election,
which the democracy are publishing in band hills
and eoiiding over the Slate to affect the elections.
If the Governor’* opinion* are so valuable, why
were they not given to us before, so dial we mighi
examine them, and sue if they were right, und not
fling at us a day or so beforo the election, in older
to control our votes 1 Thn Governor might to
know dial wo ure not children to be scared by the
sayings of any man, however big lie may think
him-elf. Iu his own county, where ho lives, he
citnuul influence a single neighbor, and the reason
is, lltul they know lie is mad with thn Whigs be-
cause they would mil run him fur President in 1840.
und has quit them, and now abuses them. In iliat
your, lie said the democrats had been stealing and
plundering the public ircnsurv—he has now joined
them. Wlio would join u party, when lie believ
ed they hud In oil plundering the public treaso.
ry 1 Who would believe n mail that Imd joined
• party, which he know Imd boon stealing the puli
lie money t Tho Governor speaks very dogmati
cally, und tells us, such and such tilings are so. just
as lie spoke in 1840, about tlie Domm-rais stealing;
lull he has given us no proof of wltul he says. Now
1 believe wltul is said, just in proporliun to the proof
which is furnished. He tells us a good deal about
thu rich of England being driven to tho continent,
to support themselves after they have been broken
down in their fortunes, and he speaks of her high
taxes, and the poverty brought upon the country hy
Ilium. Wltul has this to do with our country I II
the tariff of 1842. hurls our country so badly, why
du the British manufacturers muko large contribu
tions to circulate politicul tracts in this country to
break it down ? More than two millions of dollars
have been subscribed in England to circulate
trade tracts in this country to control our elections.
British gold, is the menus to be used to client Amcr.
icau freemen out of their rights.' Dons England
treat us so kindly, and tax our productions so low.
lltul wo ougiu to let hor bring iter productions here
freo of duly ? What does Mr. Jefferson say on
this subject ? ho was tbe nttlhor of the declaration
of our Independence, and while Secretary of Stale
in 1793, he laid down this rule, by which we should
ho governed iu our trade, with England. ‘•When a
nation imposes high duties on our productions, or
prohibits them altogether, it may be proper for us to
do tite same by theirs.” This he spoke in refer
ence to England. Now let us seo how she taxes
our productions. It is true taut every dollar which
she evi a as duties on our productions, comes out of
the pockets of our farmers. In 1840, we sent her
841,000,000 worth of cotton, and before she would
lut us sell it,she took from the pockets of our farmers
83,300,000-.we sent her $3,380,000 worth of lobuc
co, and before we lauded n, she made us pay her
for duties 822,537,000 ! We sent England thu
year $54,000,000 ol produce, and before she would
let us land it, she took out of it lor duties 828,360,
000! und left us only $25,040,000 to trude on.—
She sent us that year $15,500,000. nnd we ehtirg
ed her no duties on that umount ut ail—she sent us
$30,200,000 und wo charged hor only $6,000,000
duties on that amount. Just look at the difference Iu
the way she treats us, und that in which we treut
her. We cuine very near losing all tho specie
from our country, by this sort of trailing, and we
have stopt it, and us long us England taxus our pro
duce.lgo for taxing Iter pruducc. Sue brought
about tho rovulutiun by taxing our labor—und she
nas gone at it again—und tho true doctrine is to
play the game ol ‘lit for tat,’“you kill my dog, I’!l
kill your cut”—and if Euglund taxes our produc
tions, we will tax hers in return.
Gov. Troup tells us, that we are to be ruined
by the high tariff of 1842. He says this, but does
not prove it—now l will show from the prices
current published in the "Constitutionalist" at Au.
gusta, Georgia ; thut prices huve not risen since
the passage of the luw—and if they huve not, then
he duties have not increased the prices, auu wears
not hurt by them- -

Dr. Lathrop, of London, wnsa man of genuine
piety, but much opposed to the noisy zeal that
seekelh the praise of men. A young divine, much
given to enthusiastic cant, one day said lo him,
“Do you suppose vou have any real religion T”—
••Nono lo sjieak ot,“ was ihaexcellsnl reply.
The prices, in me tnmtih <>l September,
year have been taken Now, I respect Gnver
Troup us much n.s any ollu-r man; ami what
ays, I would believe as .soon—hut Here are facts,
which every body knows, and they ure directly
opposed to what lie says; now which shall 1 believe?
his statements, or these fuels.
Now, I believe nothing about (he tux on cotton-
bagging increasing the price the amount of the du-
for if tins was so, why does not the lax on raw
cotton increase the price uf cotton at home ? 1
bought in Savannah, last year, cotton bagging 42
inches wide, for 14 cents per yard. 1 Iinve been
looking at the Commercin'. Register’s report to Con
gress-and I find tb it tho cost uf cotton-hugging
laid down iu New York, without the duty, is 9 1-2
cents the running yard; the duty is 5 cents the
yard—this would ttiuke tiie cost 14 1 2 cents the
yard, without any profits to the importer, and yet 1
bought it for 1-2 cent less than what it cost. The
truth is this s the foreign manufacturer has his
prices; when lie sends it here lie has to lake off tho
duty, and sell i fur whnt it will bring; if there is no
duty, ho would get the full 14 cents—but if there
is a duty, he has to deduct the amount of it, und
lake the balance. It makes no odds vvlmt he prices
it at at home, he cun gel no more for it here than
the demand and supply will authorise. Alter the
tariffof 1842 was pussed, tho British manufacturers
held a meeting, nnd in the debates they stated that
the increased duties would he so much taken of}',
from their profits, and that they would liavu to ro-
iluce their prices accordingly. Tills they did, and
sent their circulars lo their customers in this coun
try, suying that they would reduce prices in propor
tion to the increase of duties, And it is because
they are made to lose these duties, that they have
raised two millions of dollars to circulute free trado
documents iu our country.
Gov. Troup sins there is hut one wav to get
clear of the Tariff', und that is to elect Mr. Polk
President. When did the Democrats ever reduce
a TurilT? They were elected, pledged to repeal
the Tariff of 1842, and would not doit, though they
hud a majority ul'69 in the House. And if they
believed it was as bad, us they say it .s, what ex
cuse can they give for not doing it ? They pro
mised to reduce our State tuxes, and instead of do
ing so put 25 per cent more on. They passed the
high Turiflsuf 1816. 1824. 1828.1832. uud can any
ono believe they will reduce this? Look oul, they
will put on 25 pur cent more !
The South Carolina millifiers say that nothing is
to bo oxpectud from Mr. Polk’s election.
Mr. Rhetl, a member of Congress says—
-The Democratic party can no longer be looked to for sup
port. Nothing ii to bo liopod from the Presidential nlnctiou.
MR. Polk has alkeaot been tkimmino his mails so am to
CATCH TIIE BREATH or BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH."
Tho leading puper of the Party in that State
says :—
The Prehiuential Candidates.— The Tariff.—The

Observe, then, that die program of TanflT taxation ban been
uniformly upward, from the i-ommniieemeot of die Uovern-
ment to thin d.y.wiUi a tingle exception. All die iriumplit of
all die free trade men in tbe country—all the .iff on I overt tiro we
of Federalism end nioiioply—have ended nomeliow in increna-
ng ill.duties on imports. M e have made die tnrift* an inane

—but the Democratic parly presented for the conteai oflH48
to Fondly and apparently so staunch an aapect on llda ipiea
on, end after their terrible defeat they itemed so deeply con-
sad If raiseJT
WbM did we eoo then t Ain
our foolish credulity I Democrats gave the easting vote,
n tho Hums and tbe Senate, for the Inlstaoua Tariff of 1842
Yet thay gave eiioh plausible excuses for h—they epoke s
well against tariff oppression, aed in favor of unfeltcrsd con
inerce, end promised so ospliciUy to wage war to the deal
with a syatem which for certain exigent present considers
ions they felt compelled lu assent to, dial even then, thong 1
all our doubts wore roused, we still fell bound to check iTi
expression ofthain. anl wait for that teat to which they in-i
ed us. What did we neat sue 1 A House of Representative
composed of two-thirds Democrats,commencing its labors b
rejecting in quick succession three resolutions proposing i
revise the luriffof’42on itevenue principles—and closing b
luying on the table a hill that wont only part of tite way !
therei.ofof the country from I to! restrictive system t W,
have learned sioce the adjournment, from authentic eoiirre-
(hi,t it a direct vote lied been taken on die passage ol Mr.
McKoy’e Bill, ten more Democrats a ere prepared to sustain
the present atrocious lurifl*! So much for hoping, Forour
purl we shall hope on more from tile Jeginlutiou ol Congress.'’
We aue, ft out lliia stale muni, that hud the vote
cine up directly on the repeal of tho TurilT, it
would huve been lost, by u majority ol 23 vote-.—
Now, when cult the Democrats expect to get more
than two thirds majority in Congress, und yet, with
that largo number they would not repent it ? Res'
itNsurod llioy will never do it. And even some ot
the Georgiu Democrats, Hon. E. J Black would
not vole lor its repeal, nnd Dixon (I. Lewis, from
Alubuniu, left the House the day before the vote
whs taken, and would not stay to vote lor its repeal.
And the substitute offered by the Democrats for
tho Tariff of 1842, was so had, thut Mr. Rhett,
from South Carolina, would not go into the iHuuse,
though he was at the door, nnd vote to save the
Bill. And the Globe says thnt Mr. Calhoun’s
friends did not want the tariff of 1842 repealed.—
Can we hope then for any thing from Mr. Folk’s
election ? The Democrats Bay not!
Bill here again—The Chus. Mercury says : —
n The federal ex- cutivi* r:in revise n-iilier tii ir opinion
nor their policy. Blit even if they could, Messrs. Clay and
Fhklinghuyskn, if successful in the pending content, would
not redress our wronsjH, being both avowed Tariff men, nor
have we a right to count upon a jot more ot redress from the
successolour own cuuditlutes,—both of whom voted for thu
Force Bill,one ofwhotn Air. Pallas, is an avowed Protec
tive Tariff mun—and the other, Mr. Polk, though committed
nnd believed true to iim and our nuti protection principle* up
to the time of his nomination, bus since gone over to the one-
inv, uud occupies the suiue position with the Whigs.”
That same puper says iiguin :—
“Shull we wait until it suits the Northern and other Tar\l'
Democrats, to cease playing the hypocrite at Baltimore, and
the traitor at Washington? £ hall we look for relief through
Congress, at 'lie bunds of the Democratic party ? A bure enu
meration of their acts will settle this questions
“ They assisted to pass the Tariffof 1824.
“ They passed the act ut 18*28.
“ They voted for the force Bill.
They helped the wings both in ITonse mid .Senate, in the
base violation and overthrow of the Compromise act of 1883.
“ They voted for the present Black Tariffof 1812.
“And at the late session of Congress, with u Democratic
majority of two-thirds in the House, They overthrew n bill,
which retaining tho principle of protection, proposed merely
the modifying und pnitiul equalizing of the odious exactions
of the Tariff.
Lei us turn from inis nnd see what the Northern
Democrats say about Mr. Polk and the Tariff of
1842.
The Harrisburg Democratic Union, a paper per-
Imps of the greatest influence with the Democrats
of Pennsylvania, says :
“We happen to know, nnd tote upon the authority of a
Tenne-sean, with whom we conversed ut Baltimore, a near
neighbor of Col. Folk— that he holds the doctrine or free
trade IN unqualified auhokrence. He nev* r advocated
it and never will. He is iu favor ofu judicious revenue tnriff
affording the amplest incidental protection to American
industry. He is the especial friend nnd advocate of the coal
and iron interests, those t vo great objects of solicitude w ith
Pennsylvanians, und believing permanence in our laws to b«> of
incalculable value, is opposed to the disturbance of the
existing TARIFF. These facts we state on the verv best au
thority, and caution the democracy oj this rreat State against
listening to the misrepresentations oj the coons.”
Does this look like repealing the Tariff? A
Whig editor at the North said that Mr. Polk was
a Free Trade man—the Democratic paper replied
at once—(the Danville Republican :)
“True to Instinct.—Not ono Whig paper have we sceu
which does Gov. Polk the justice to correct their misrepre
sentation of his views in relation too Tariff.
“Will they have the honesty to proclaim that he in in favor
of just such* a tariff us Mr. Clay! Such is the fuel.”
Mr. Polk, in 1841, on the subject of prolection,
flays.”! am in favor of n tariff for revenue, such
an one as will yield a sufficient amount to the tres-
ury lo defray the expenses of the Government
economically administered. In adjusting the de
tails of the revenue tariff, I have heretofore sanc
tioned such moderate discriminating duties us would
produce the amount of revenue needed, and at the
same time afford REASONABLE INCIDENTAL
PROTECTION TO OUR HOME INDUSTRY.”
Plio Albany Argil* Hie oelebiated organ of De
mocracy in N-w York, says—
“The Whigs dare not present their lender (Mr. Clay) in
the position which he has placed himself, in his recent avow
als of opinion on lb“ tariff. They know thnt he and CJov.
Po k occupy the same ground on this subject—and all their
efforts to conceal thn fact, by garbling and lulsifying language
will only serve to fuoten it more Irmly in thn minds of those
on whom it was designed to operate—and to increase distrust
of the cause and the partisan, whose chief reliance is
THUS SHEWN TO BE FRAUD AND IMPOSITION.”
The Age, tt leading democratic pupor in Maine,
says—
“Col. Polk is opposed ton “protective tariff” properly so
called; thut is to say, lo u turiff for protection merely and
without reference to revenue, He is in favor of a revenue
tnriff with incidental’protection. 0 This is all right,* and it is
preciselythe GitoUNDTAKrN by Mr. Clay. One of the
most important ohjec-ions taken by the democracy to the tar
iff of 1812, is (hut many of its duties upon the raw products of
agriculture ark too low and ought to be raised ”
The Troy Budget insists upon it, thnt tho letter
of Mr. Polk affords inco-tesliblo evidence thut he
is iu favor of Protection.
In Pittsburg, Pennsylvania a cnil furs L-ico Fo
co mass meeting is addressed In "all the friends of
the Tariff, whu arc exhorted to support Jumes K.
Polk, unless they want tho Tariff' uet of '44 re
pealed.
A Mr. Melville, an itinerant Locofoco orator, is
engaged in an electioneering expedition in tiie Stale
of New York, expressly to muke the people believe
that Mr. Pollt is “» warmer protection man than
Mr. Clay.”
At a Democratic Convention ii New Jersey, tiie
President, the Hon. Mulilon Dickerson, avowed
himself a turifT man, in favor of the tariff of 1842.
Al tlie same meeting, tite Hon. Benjamin Wil
liamson told his Democratic friends thut the views
of Mr. Clay nnd Mr. Polk as ton protective turiff
were identical.”
A few days since tite [Ion. Silas Wright of New
York, made u speech, in which he declared that the
ly ground of objection lie had lo tiie tariff of 1842
was its duties on Wool were too low.
Tiie Philadelphia Mercury, u few duys since,

Why dues Gov. Troup censure the Wings lu»

that lie will say anything lie thinks will injure them.
Here are the facts und lei them he contradicted if

posed to increase the doty, on coarse flannels worn
by the poor. 9 per cent higher than the Whi*, s ha
made it—the duty on wool hats was increased, nnd
that on coarse wool made four times greater than
that imposed by the Whigs. And when they re
duced any duties, they made a greater reduction
on the articles used by the rich, than the poor.

If the whig tariff was unjust, the democratic one,
was much more so. Let every honest man read th» ae
vaets for himself and say if Gov. Troup wished lo abuse
the Whigs for what they had done, why did he not
abuse the Democrats for doing worse ]
The Democrats have always been in favor of a high
ariff. They p-issed as tiieir own papers admit, the
tariffs of 1828 and 1832; the first raised 610,000,000
■annually more than was wanted, and the latter $5,000.

extravagant system of internal improvement—General
Jackson promised us to stop it, he vetoed one little b

time he spent more money than any President before

to reduce the expenditures, hu; they added on, instead
of taking off. The following statement shows how
much each party has spent.

Mr. Calhoun, in 1819, as .Secretary at War, recommended to
CongMBR n system of roads and Cauuls, connecting l.ouisi-
with Maine, Suvnnunh with Boston—including a line of
ship canals on the Atlantic coast 100 miles long—Albuny

jad from Tennessee river to New Orleans—and a canal
connecting New Orleans with Mobile! He recommended o

pursuance of hia recommendations.

hoped that before he attempts to U’acli others the

A TROUP MAN OF 1825.
House CONSISTING OF A LARGE MAJ
W HIG M EM BE RS. Why ? It teas to have been hoped that
a Democratic House would have been ns ENERGETIC
AND CONSISTENT as their Whig predecessors. The De
mocracy of Ihe South did not expect such a jc mrse on the.
question of Abolition. On the question of the Tariff, the same
tergiversation is exhibited by a large portion ofthe Democrats
of the House. Con the Southern portion of the party be satis
fied with the proceedings of Congress 1 It it not evident that
these proceedings ure so shaped aa to have some influence on
the next Presidential election And the Southern Democracy
ore appealed to; they are called upon to keep united; and
vet the essential rights of the South are trifled with, or disre
garded, because votes must he ohtuinedfor a Presidential can
didate? The proceedings of Congress, so far, have produced
dissatisfaction among us, because of the large Democratic ma
jority in the House.”
The Democrats with a majority of I wo-thirds did not
repeal the tariff, and upon a direct vote to adopt the
rule rejecting abolition petitions, it was rejected by a
majority of TWENTY VOTES!!! Can the people
of Georgia support a party which sports with the great
question of slavery, to make votes in the Presidential
Election? And yet the Democrats have done it f
The‘Globe,* the leading democratic paper at Wash-
ingion, is endeavoring to excite the abolitionists against
Mr. Clay, because he permitted his daughter to marry
a mtn that sold negroes. An individual named Cae.
siiis M. Clay had written a letter on the subject of sla
very and some of Henry Clay’s frieods had called on
him to say whether he approved his sentiments 1 Hen.
ry Clay replied, 41 so far as he (C. M. Clay,) ventures
to interpret my feelings, he has entirely misconceived
them. lie is equally mistaken as to those in the circle
of my personal friends and neighbors*” The Globe
seizes upon these remarks, and says, 44 Mr. C. M. Clay
ough t to havo known that, Mr. Eruf ig—Mr. Clay's
next neighbor and son*in-lavv—has been a slave-trader
by profession and sold thousands in the New Orleans
market, erect standing in rows like rolls of cotton-bag*
ging in the ware-houses. It was the fact of his being
engaged in this horrible traffic, that induced many of
Mr Clay’s friends and relations to oppose the match
between Mr. Erwing and his daughter. But it formed
n objection with Mr. Clay. And now Mr. Clay agrees
with his friends and neighbors, on the subject of slavery,
Mr. Erwing among the rest, wo suppose.” Can any
Georgian read this infamous attack upon Mr. Clay hy
the leading organ of the Democratic party, because of
his being a slavo-holder—see the attempt to break him
down at the North, because he 44 agrees” with us, on
the subject of slavery, and not resolve to stand by the
man, who stands by us?” No man should hesitate.
Look for one moment at the dishonest game now play
ing by the Democratic party. They have been circu
lating the lion. Mr. Walker’s letter on the annexation of
Texas, and in that, he advocates the measure, because it
will extinguish slavery. This sentiment proving ob-
jectiouable, they have issued a new edition for the
South, leaving this out, and another edition for the
North putting it in. Here is the sentiment published
that the public may see the fraud. Can the people
confide in the honesty of a party which thus acts?
“Admitting 1'exas secures the extinction or slavery.
Is slavery, then, never to disappear from the Union ? If
conniii’d within its present limits, I do not perceive when or
hovv it is lo lorniinale. It is true, Mr. George ’Tucker, ihe
distinguished Virginian and professor in their great university,
.liasdi’inoustraled that, in a period not exc-eding eighty years,
land probably less, from the penalty of population iu ull the
slaveholdiug States,hired labor wold be ns abundant and cheap
as slave labor; and (hat nil pecuniary motives for the continu.
auceof slavery won Id I hen have ceased. But would it, there
fore, then disappear? No, it cerluinly wouid not for. ut the
jowest ratio, the t-luves would then number at leust ten mill
ions. Could such u innssbe emancipated ? And if so, wlml
would be the result ? We have seen, by the census and other
pi oof, that one sixth of the free blacks must he supported at
the public expense ; und thnt, at the low rule of $50 euchjt
would cost $30,000,000 per annum to be raised by taxation
to support the free blncks, then in tbe south, requiring sup.
port, namely, 1,666,666, it manumission were permuted, but as
such a tax could not lie collected, emancipation would he, as
it now is. prohibited by late, and slavery could not disappear
in this manner even when it became unprofitable. No, tpn
mil lions ol free blacks permitted to roam at large in (lie limit*
of tbe Souihcould never be tolerated. Annin, then,the question
is asked, Is slavery never to disappear from tbe Union ? Tlii*
is n still tling and inoinei.tuus question; but the answer i>* easy,
and the proof is clear. It trill certainly disappear if Texas
is annexed to the Union ; not by Abolition, but against and
in spite of all its pbrenzy, slowly and gradually, by diffusion,
ns it has already thus nearly receded from several of the more
northern of the slaveholdiug States, and as it will coutiuua
thus more rapidly to recede by the reannexulion of Texas,
lid finally, in the distant future, without a shock, without
ubolition, without a convulsion, disappear into and through
Texas, into Mexico and Central and South America. Thus,
Iliut same overruling 1'rovideiice tliot watched over the land
ing ofthe emigrants nad pilgrims at Jamestown and IMymoth,
that gave ns the victory in our struggle for independence
iliut guided by bis inspiration the framers of our wonderful
constitution; (hut lias thus far preserved this great Union
from dancers ho many and imminent, nnd i* now shielding it
from Abolition,its most dangerous and iuternul foe—will open
