Having appropriated the fun of seven mil lion three hundred thou land dollars annually to the payment of the imcrdc and gradual ext nguifhment of the principal or the national debt, the prefrnt admirfftr ation have made die following tctrcnclimcuis in the public ex pcnces, viz. [Here follows aftatement which has already appeared, making the retrenchments amount to 1,021,55? dollars.] Ir followed that so ne of the public burthens might bed fpenle l with. T e externa] re vevenue derived from i npo'ls& tonnage.col- Ecled in comparatively few places, and of few persons, a f an expence of less than five per cent, and by a set of officers who m i r was necessary to ictain in ferviece : and the interna! revenues, derived from another set of collected by a different set of officers, at at an ex pence of fifteen per cent, were before them for fblefi. ion, & which ought to nave been preferred ? The dunes on bit, on bohea tea, on brown fjgar be coffee were comprehended in the impost ; were hud by rhe fir ft congress, and from time to time increased by i’ubfc ouent laws have been collected at a final! ex pence, and with a ceitainty net applicable to the inturnai duties. A reduction offo much’ of thehtipoft would reduce the whole expence of thatfyftern but ve, y little, and not dii hargt a fingY officer The internal duties on t( doimeftic diddled ipints and lulls, on refin ed fug.irs (that A, of American manufacture, net imported refined Jugars , which are fubjecl tc to fji impefit duty) on carriages, retailers iicecccs and llamps upon vellum, parchment and pa per,” were unco ial in their application to in dividuals and lutes, vexations in their opera tion fo.me of them - x. remeiy obnoxious, iomt ciiredhlv counter ..£bng the policy or duimeftu manuft.dtures, ethers evaded by coiluhon o; fraud, moil of them to be col cited in almost every town inu villa-e in the United States, req liriug the vigilance of more than four hun dred officers, and an annual expence of two hundred and twenty-fcven thousand, four hundred and thirty-one dollars in their.col lection ; ujminifhing the rdpelt of oaths, of fering strong temptations bribary and perjury and thus corupting the moral, both of officers and people. h it poflible that a wife and prudent legifiature should helltate between them ? is it not obvious, that the whole if any part, of these internal taxes ought to be repealed, because a partial repeal would retain all the collecting officers and confequcntly increase the expence of col 1 e fit ion compared with the amount To]’edit'd ? is it not evident, that the proposal to repeal the duties on fait, on brown l’utyar, dec-, was either 211 at tempt to defeat the repeal of the inter nal taxes, or a grasp at that popularity which the majority alfedlto despise sit down, fellow-citizens, by your selves, haffifh if polfibie, al! distinctions of parties, take the statements furniihed by official documents, make your in to rest the criterion, and form your own calculations, camparifons and con clusions. Is there in Mafiachufetts an individ ual. even if he approved of the system of patronage, of loaning and taxation, adopted by the laid adminifixation, would consent to the continuance of a burthen lb unequal, and so oppreiiive to the citizens of this flare ? who can de r.y the merit of the prelent congress, in contracting file wants of government, and lightening the burthens of the peo ple ? or, who, in fine, can withold his admiration at the macnanimitty of the chief magi [irate, in commending a mcafure which mud diminiih his own influence and power, while it dilmifies from public service, and returns to pri vate fta cions, four hundred active dif zppointed spirits, to increi le the pro portion cf his political enemies, and add to the number and zeal of his calumni ators? between the calumnies of such a fa cl ion, and their own true irtereft, the people now have leilure to decide. In Torming rite ultimate decision, there is less need of inutility and refinement than of candour, common sense and arithmetical computation. If there is any certainty in principles, or any de pendence cn rc.ifioii and experience, the diicharge 01 e/Tiefs officers, efpcclaliy of thole c-Ticerncd in the pecuniary op era dons of government, is effentialiy fa vorable to freedom and rcpublicanifm. If two and two make four, if a part L less than the whole, tlie retrenchment of unneceudi y public exoences, the cor refpomlent reduction of public taxes, and the consequent fimpiitication of oui public concerns, are (b many points gained in favor of the people, J el iow-citizens of Mafiachufettts, themea lure under consideration is particularly interesting to us. Jf the repeal of that unequal lyftem of internal taxes is not materially beneficial to cur interoft, calculation is reheat and arithmetic a liar. for the Georgia Republican. Mr firs. Lyon & ‘Morfe, ft Publication has appeared thrdugh L iu the generous channel of y.our pa per, recommending the cle&ion of Mr. M’Alilter, in preference to that of Mr. Bryan. The claim of the latter, as recognized by the Democrat, on the fuifragesof the citizens of Georgia, is very excenfive. It is generally conce ded that he is a gentleman of good ta lents and unimpeachable integrity, and one who is no Ids firm in his republican ism than he is willing that it be made uno vvn. It is further observed that “theelec tion of Mr. M*Al-.fter will befir promote the cauie of republic anil m and the public good. 0 Thus gentleman has ever occu pied a refpeclable feat inlbciety and is, in my opinion, a man of incontrover tible refiiitude, but chat his election will more beneficially advance the cause of republicaniTm and the public good, than if Mr. Bryan was to be defied, ] can ot readily accede to. If ability, com bined with many of the moll diftin guifiled virtues, are fufficientto promote rep able anilm, rest allured that they are well centred in Mr. Bryan. I\ a huh lien. IV.
