additionaNtity tin il some other tariffshould be
ail 'i'he history of the tarifflaw shows that, from
17H9 down to 1816, if protection was designed
to be given to domestic manufacture. it was
none other than such as aros<‘ hum the nects-i
ties of the Government in levying duti/s to pay
debts, defend the frontiers, protect our commerce
against the Barban Powers, and vain on the
war with England. The duties were generaHy
uniform, of a given rate per cent; and when
higher than medium duties were levied, they
were placed upon sugar, tea, coflee, molasses,
and salt, and not upon articles of domestic man
ufacture. That die manulacturvs of iron,
woollens, and cottons had no special legislation
w hatever, and that no branch oi American man
ufactures had any encouragement or proteclion
bevond what would be afforded them by laying
duties for revenue. In the first tariff‘act’ en
couragement was held out to die fanners of the
South to raise cotton, and io those of the West
to raise hemp, by imposing high duties on both;
but this was an encouragement to agriculture,
and not protection to manufactures.
We ask of the reader to reflect upon the char
acter of the duties levied hitherto; for we shall
presently seek their comparison with those le
vied in 1816, for the purpose of showing that
protection then, tor the first time, commenced
when the American system was first establish
ed, and who were its authors.
Under all the tariff acts which had previously
passed, every article, except a few before stated,
paid a duty according to its value. The lariH
act of 1816 changed this system, and made ma
ny articles which were manufactured hue pay
a duty upon their supposed and not their rent
worth. For example: under all funner tariffs,
cotton goods paid a duty according to the value
of the article; that is, if a yard of calico or home
spun cost twelve cents. under the high duties us
the war, it paid a duty of twenty-five per cent,
which was three cents a yard duty; but, by the
act of 1816, this calico or homespun w as assum
ed to have cost 25 cents instead of 12 cents, and
was then charged with a duty of 25 percent, so
that the duty was six cents instead of three cents
as before. And the less the article cost the
higher the duty became. If it cost only 5 cents,
it was charged with the same duty, six cents, as
though it had cost more, so. that live cents was
the first cost, acd six cents the duty. Now, it is
my purpose to show, from their speeches, who
advocated this system of prohibition and pro
tection, who voted for it, and to what party they
belong, that it may be known whether Whigs
or Democrats voted for and supportedit.
The principle hitherto adopted and acted upon
was to levy a duty for revenue, and so arrang
ing the duties that they would the more readily
afford revenue, and if, in doing this, protection
was afforded to manufactures, it was believed to
be legal and just. But the new principle adopi
. ed in 1816 did not levy duties for revenue upon
some articles at all; but upon such as were man
ufactured in the United States duties so high
were imposed as excluded foreign manufactures
and gave the market to the home manufactur
ers. This is what was called the American
system by its advocates in those days; and it is
to inquire who arc the authors of it, and to what
part}' they belong, that we shall now direct our
attention’ Os those who voted for the act. and
who are now living, or have died so recently as
to have attached themselves to either of the great
parties, are AlbionK. Parris, now at Washing
ton, Enos D. Throop, Samuel D. Ingham, Phi
lip P. Barbour, Henry St. George Tucker, John
C. Cilhoin, Alfred Cuthbert, Wilson Lumpkin,
Richard M. Johnson, Nathan Sanford, Win. T.
Barry, and Samuel Smith, all of whom w« re
Democrats of the present organization; while
John Sergeant, Jonathan Roberts, and Jeremiah
Morrow are the only Whigs who voted for it.
Os those w’ho voted against it are Erastus Root,
of New’ York,NVm. M. Gaston, and Lewis Wil
liams, of N. Carolina, Richard H. Wilde, of
Georgia, Benjamin Hardin, of Kentucky, and
James Barbour, of Virginia, all Whigs, while
Wm. H. Roane, of Virginia, and John Forsyth
are the only Democrats who voted against it.
We have, then, twelve Democrats voting for
the bill to three Whigs, and six Whigs voting
against it to two Democrats. Thus far it seems
that the Democrats were a majority of the friends
of to domestic manufactures, and are
the authors, founders, and builders <4 the Aine
rican system, and that the Whigs a major
ity of the opponents ot that system, and of a pro
tective tariff.

of the tarifl'bili of 1816, w ill show to what an ex

be considered to have cost that sum. anti be
charged with duly accordingly. The mo:ion
was lost; yeas6l, nays 82: Messrs Calhoun
and Johnson voting in the negative.
The views ot these two distinguished and
leading Democrats will be better understood,
by the follow ing extracts from Mr. <-alhoun's
speech, on the foregoing motion, ; n which he
goes the whole length an I breadth of the most
ultra protection.
‘‘The debate heretofore has been confined n»
the degree of protection which ought to be a hord
ed to our woollen and cotton manufactures. The
present motion proceeds on the assumption that
they ought not to receive any pro! •■•■tion. (mil
this question had I >een raised, he had intended
to be silent.” “The question was connected
with the safely of the connin’. The security of
a country depended mainly' n its spi it and i s
means.” He spoke of the embarrassments re
sulting to the agriculture of the country during
the war, having no commerce nor m in u fart u res
to consume in productions, and said: “When
our manufactures arc grown ton certain per
fection, as they soon will, under the fostering
care of our Government, we will no longer ex
perience these evils.” “To give per fiction io
this state o‘ things, it will be necessary to add,
as soon as possible," system of internal imgrot'e-
an extension of our navy." After
speaking of the distressing st w of affairs then
existing, he said: “To this distressing strte of
things, there were t”o remedies, and only two •
he meant the navy and douwsttr. nuinntti’lures.”
“Domestic manufactures arc now established
among us. But iLwi'l no doubt be said, if they
were so far established, and the situation of the
country' is so favorable to their growth, why is
it necessaru to a flu nd them protection! IT IS TO
PUT THEM BEYOND THE REACH OF
CONTINGENCY. Then? is in fad, from

present crisis; should such prove to lx* the fact,

In these views, Mr. Calhoun was sustained

reported die bill. He said: “As respects

what siiaerily of purpose the Democratic party
has railed ai lhe Whig party for lhe act of 1812.
The comparison will show’, that whether the
Whig-, he tariff men or not, still that lhe Demo
j r . are such; and w hether they advocate pro
tection or not, that the Democrats have advoca
t'd and passed more oppressitx and higher tariffs
than they. From these facts the People will
see that no reliance is to be placed in tne com
plaint. and accusations of the Democrats.—
That while they condemn lhe Whigs, they have
I •‘hd niorf gu /< v(han those they assail, and that
lhe whole object of such continued and heart
less aesanits has been to get in power them
xc lvc-, io perpetra legreater trits in the advance
ment oi’ their own policy. They 7 are (nut tree

party 10 tio an act, and then censure others it
they pci iorm .< similar one. No confidence can
be ropc.-ed in litem; for they act without refer
ence in any fix<?d principles whatever—always
taking care, however, 10 govern their conduct
so as best to subserve iht views of their party,
by reiving alone on the prejudices of the people

Recent Kruption of Mount
The following account oi the recent eruption
of .Mount yEtna, is from a correspondent of the
London Despatch. The eruption took place in
the tbre-pari of December lasi:
Av e Hailed from Palermo, by the Messina
road, al hall"past 7 o’clock on Monday morn
ing, December 5, and towards sunset on ihe fol
low ing day, arrived at Adeino, ("144 Sicilian or
1 15 English miles from the capital) and thence,
while changing horses, we had the first view of
the eruption. We could plainly discern lhe fie
ry' stone.' rising and tailing, but at that distance
lookinglike sparks. A ball ot fire seemed to
roll up itom the crater, swelling as it rose into
the form of a vast balloon, from the top of
which proceeded a blazing column, which, al
length, burst at its summit, andleil in soft show
ers ui slowly descending lire. Next morning,
we a: ranged for our excursion up the mountain,
and started al 12 at night. The lava light grew
stronger as we advanced, and on turning a pro
jecting point of ihe mountain, the crater and the
upper part of the stream of lava burst upon our
sight, in all its magnificence. We were now
43Ji»ieei up rhe mountain, and about six mites
distant from the crater. Ido not think it looked
grander at any higher point. The volcano was
spouting »ut lire and red hot stones to a prodi
gious height (fully twice as great as that of fee
t one’, w hich is 1100 feet high) in a large column,
apparently ot ihe size of a ma rtello tower, at the
mouth of the crater, and distending, to an enor
mousbulk, till at its utmost height, it burst into
myriads of fiery fragments, those on the left be
ing particularly conspicuous, because there was
n<> lava there, and the red hot stones contrasted
with the dark side of the mountain. As they
fell, they cast a bright glow on the snow, and
each particular fiery fragment lighted up its
own portion of the rnowy surface, while a col
umn »if illuminated steam arose wherever lhe
hissing balls of tire sunk upon the ground.
The higher we climbed, lhe longer line we
saw of lava ; and after another hour and a halfs
ascent, we reached a plaifi of seeming sand and
(being in fact, pulverized scoria?,) of about a
mile square in extent, and studded with genista
or broom, the only' plant that grows at this
height, which was above that of the Cassadel
Bosco. Here the guides required us to stop, as
it would be highly’ dangerous to proceed further
during the night. We were, however, well
content to halt in the position we had now at
tained, as we enjoyed a complete view 01 lhe
crater, and of the whole stream of lava from its
source 10 lhe lowest depth it had y’et reached.
The crater thus seen, resembled an enormous
bowl brimming over with molten metal, such
as one sees in the carron foundries, which
streamed down in cascades of living lire, and it
struck against some stupendous rock upon the
mountain side, and separated into various cur
rents, twisting and winding in rivulets of fire,
snake-like, along the surface ot the mountain:
so tortuous in its course that where the stream
of lava was full ten miles long, no part ot it had
yet reached above two miles f rom its source in
the volcano. A long with the volume of flame
incessantly’ vomited forth by the crater, we now
heard al every' burst a booming sound like lhe
roaring of the sea against an iron-bound coast,
gradually swelling louder and louder, as if be
ginning far down in the bowels oi the earth, and
bellowing more fearfully as it approached the
oiiilct, whence it issued ever and anon with
fresh explosions, like terrific peals of thunder.
In the prodigious blaze of light, we could not
for some lime perceive that the lava did not, as
we at first.‘ opposed, brim over the lip of the cup,
but burst a pas-age through the sideofthe rone
some 36U feet fitnn the top, whence it gushed
forth in an impetuous flood, and presently flow
ed in bubbling runnels of liquid fire, that ran
along the ground, at first in narrow streams,
sometimes as line as chains of forked lightning
linked together, flashing along the snow, but
thes •, as they descended fell into another, and
unit .d in one wide meandering lava flood.
Another current swept down the hill-side
with a statelier march, theflo.nl of fire occasion
ally’ evcirtou ing its banks, and flingingagolden
11 e upon the sutioundibg : now, till at a dis
tance of about two miles from its source, it
struck against a kill ro< k overhanging a shelv
ing pie ipice, many hundred feel deep, and
splitting iiselt on ihe rock into two divided tor
rents. like the kills of the Rhine, at SchefiTiau
sen. ii leaped in twin cascades of tiery r flood
sheer down into the gulf of desolation that yaw
ned below. <)• rasiunally, w ecuiild see huge
rocks sauted uni from this fall of fire, and shot
away’ in st‘paralc masses into the ravine, thun
dc» iii.g iilong ihe blocks of old lava in the Vai
del Bove, into whi'li this fresh stream poured,
stretching like strings of burning beads along
the distant snow. —When the first excitement
which this sight “horribly beautifully,” produ
ced, had partially subsided, we began to feel the
pinching cold insufferable. (mr feet were sto
ny, as if all circulation had departed, and on
di:-mounting from onr mules, it was with great
difficulty that we could stand. Indeed, no won
der, for we were within a tew hundred feet of
the line of perpetual snow, and the wind, though
happily very model ate, cut through us like a
razor, bringing water to our eyes, and freezing
oureais and noses. Rut any temporary stiffer
ine, any toil would have been amply repaid by
th' l splendor and magnificence of the majestic
sight upon whi h w were gazing. It is pleas
ant to know that the eruption has not caused,
and is not likely to cause, much damage, by
reason of lhe desolale. soil over which the lava
lias this time directed its course. It is not ex
pected to last much longer.
A Hahd B vrgain.—FioHTi.xii by the Month.
—An elderly gentle.nan residing not far hence,
who had iieen notorious for his fighting propen
sities, though far from a bully, was finally’ com
pelled to knock under to most every one who at
tacked him, by Ire age and infirmities. His will
for lighting was as good as ever, but his power,
he wasfoiced t<» aumil, was gone.
Ile was accosted in this dilemma by a flout,
double-fisted Kentuckian, anxious to procure
some situation. He had worked on a farm,
bnft horses down <;n a flat-boat, whipped every
tiling ol his size and weight, and in short, was
“all sorts us a chap” ai rough wu;k generally.
The old hero ufour tale bethought him that
he had now met \Visii exactly the man he want
ed. Ile was involved in smulry annoying difti
ukiesrwilh his neighbors, and being utterly un
able to light himselfout of them, he asked the
Kentuckian if he would undertake to do all his
quarrelitig foi him at so much a month. The
latter - ahi he had taken a hand at almosi every’
thing and was willing to undertake all his rough
fighting if he were well paid for it. A bargain
was st 1 uck papers were j assed, and the Kentuck
ian hire.l himself to do all the old gentleman’s
lighting ala month and found—slo more
than he had ever before received for his services,
Thi. wa* in the morning.
About noun, and while the two personages
were walking toward a lavem, the old gentle
man met a lieigiihuj.’ again: t w hem he huualong
time had a deadly grudge. Here was an oppor
tunity to settle ii, as his fighting man was at his
elbew. and heal once commenced abusing his
neighbor. The latter, a stout, tall fellow, re
torted in a bold manner —the old gentleman
threw back at him as good as he sent. From
high words they were about coming to blows,
when lhe Kentuckian interposed. He pushed,
hi-employer back with his brawny arm, and*
looked the other full in lhe eye, told him him that
he was a pretty fellow to want to tight an old
1 man. “Why don’t you take a man of your
own age and size ?” said he, squaring off, and
beginning louauce round his adversary in a man
ner truly belligerent. To cut the story short,
they w ent at it pell mell in a most furious style.
The battle was a long and severe one—now
1 both were rolling, biting, and gouging upon the
i ground; then they were on their feet hammering
j away w ith the utmost fury. For some time it
looked like a drawn game, but at lenght vietorv
was declared in favor of the Kentuckian, though
he was considerably bruised and f battered.
HH employer took him home, washed and
put clean clothes upon him. and expressed him
• elf tiighlv delighted with the fight, and more
parti- uiaily with the result. This was all very
flattering 10 the Kctuckian: but when he began
to think over his bargain, and reflected that he
had been employed a few huu»‘ oniv. and had
aheadv had one tremendous tight, he was in
clined io think hi situation nos at all so agree
able a> he had anticipated. The old gentlemen
-aw what wa< pa -ing in his mind, and accost
ed him with
I hope you like your new ituation
The Kentuckian hesitated. As we have -aid,
he thought over the haid fight he had been en
gaged in. and reflected uj»on the chances of hav
ing a gumi many mote like. it. Bui ibvn there
was no “back out * in his breed, and he thu
aivwered the qtn • ikm :
‘ Y c-< I’m tolerably well salUtied. I wish
vou distinctly to under'land that I m a man of
mv word. I’ve agreed to do your fighting at
‘hitiv «hdiais a month and t.»m*ib and whenever

Mobile, Thursday p. m., Feb. 2.
The market opened ihis morning with a brisk
inquiry, and several thousand bates were sold in
the early part of the day al full prices of yester
day, though at no perceptible advance. Subse
quently, liuwever, in consequence of the rapidly
advancing rates of exchange, holders demanded
higher prices, and further sales were effected nt a
considerable advance on prices of yesterday. The
sales of the day estimated nt about 10,000 bales.
From the extremely unsettled state of the mar
ket, we omit our figures to-day, remarking, how
ever, that at the close of transactions ay advance
on our previous quotations has been obtained of |
to i cent on most descriptions. Considerable por
tions of the purchases to-day have been fir remit
tances to New Orleans and the North.
Exchange— lt cannot be disguised that confi
dence in the currency of Alabama has received a
severe shock. It would be out of place in a short
daily notice of the market to attempt any expla
nation of the causes which are producing such
disastrous consequences. Exchanges have been
.mining “wild” for some days, and to-day the
rites were absolutely appalling. We hear of
transactions in sterling bills at from 3? a 38, 30
days on New York 33, sight on New Orleans 31A
a 35, and sales of gold and silver at 31, 33, 35, 37,
38, and even at 40 per cent premium. It is rather
humiliating to be compelled to chronicle such
enormous rates, but we submit with the best
grace we can.
Freights—No freight engagements to-day.

New Orleans, February I.
Cottun — Arrived since the 27th ult., of Louisi
ana and Mississippi 23,442 bales, Tennessee 1263,
Arkansas 420, Florida 78, together 25,203 bales.
Cleared in the same time, for Liverpool 13,335
bales, Glasgow 3217, Havre 9073, Marsdlles 421,
Bremen 245, Antwerp 1230, Hamburg 1977, New
York 423, together 28,941 bales—making a reduc
tion in stock of 3738 bales, and leaving on hand
inclusive of nil on shipboard not cleared on the
31st ultimo, a stock of 160,705 bales.
In our review us last Saturday morning, we re
ported the cotton market as having closed on the
evening previous with a lair degree of activity,
and with a tolerably steady character as to prices.
The market since then has been entirely devoid of
animation —indeed, neither buyers nor sellers
have appeared at all desirous of disturbing the
very unusual degree of quiet that has prevailed,
both parties awaiting with much solicitude the
arrival of the steamer’s accounts to the 4th ult.,
which are now past due, and which would proba
bly have reached us yesterday, had we received a
mail from Boston. The sates of Saturday amoun
ted to 2300 bales, on Monday to 2000, and yester
day to about 1900—in all only 6100 bales.

undersigned propose to publish,
after the first of March next, a Newspaper
in the town of Rome, to be called
THE GEORGIA COURIER.
The North-Western section of Georgia has been
for a few years past rapidly increasing in impor
tance. Its great natural advantages, as yet, but
imperfectly known; its inexhaustible mineral re
sources, becoming every day more developed; its
abundant, and vatied Agricultural products,—its
prospective and mutually beneficial connexion
witlt the chief Commercial points upon the Sea
board, together with the immense political and
social influence, which it is capable of exerting,
render it more interesting than perhaps any other
portion of our widely extended Territory.
The want of a Periodical which would suitably
support the true policy of the State at large, and
the peculiar Interests of this section of it, while
jts location would enable it more widely to dis
seminate political truth, has been long felt. To
satisfy tins want is the object of our present en
terprise.
The columns of the Courier will be chiefly de
voted to the liberal and moderate advocacy of
Whig principles, and to the support of Internal
Imprartmmt; endeavoring, if possible, to avoid
party heats and jealousies, and basing our opin
ions upon sound and practical expositions of th a
Constitutions of the State and General Gover_n
ments.
It will also contain the current news of t l jedav;
a tastefully selected Miscellany, and the, medley
of matter usually served up in such publications.
In short, no effort will be spared on Jut pa it. to
make it a pleasing vehicle of insjttretion and
amusement.
