THE NEW TARIf F.
M P leasure we Publish the letter of Mr.
~,** ier ’ as it enables us to explain more
5 lie remarks we have heretofore laid be
rore our readers upon the new tariff, and es
pecta y the reasons we had lor our coudemna
, . jn 0 the vote of the Georgia delegation in
oi'gress lor an increase ot duties on certain
articles of necessary consumption by the pco
v.e C * l!s counl, y- v. ill be seen that Mr.
Meriwether with the Georgia delegation and
ourselves are completely at issue. Mr. Meri
wether that no bill such as we have de
-(..lbed, and containing such provisions as we
nave censured, was ever passed by the House
ot Representatives. Mr. Meriwether says,
that no bill has passed the House of Repre
sentatives to tax molasses, salt, and sugar, nor
to exempt from taxation the articles we men
tioned in our remarks. As we never venture
to make assertions without sufficient authority,
and as we have it in our power to support the
grounds we assumed in regird to the new ta
riff, we shall proceed to show that we have
uot acted fiercely and unfairly towards the
Georgia delegation.
Before we commence our explanation, we
must call the attention of our readers to the
new tariff bill, which will he found in another
column of our paper..
We charged the Whig House of Represen
tatives with having passed a bill laying a tax
oi* 2U per cent on tea, moiasses, salt, ceiiee,
sugar, and other necessaries ol ilfe. Ard now
we charge the whig liouc-e of Representatives,
with having passed a bill increasing the tax
now paid on Coarse Blankets and Colton Bag
ging, two articles of absolute necessity in
Georgia and the other southern cotton growing
states.
The articles of coffee and tea, by the exist
ing tariff or what is commonly called the com
promise act of 1833, published in our last pa
per, are imported free of duly. By the new
tariff these two articles of tea and coflee, are
eubject to adluly equal to *0 per cent ad valo
rem, which duty is equal to nearly 3 1-2 cents
per pound on teas, and to nearly 2 cents per
pound on cottee. As no one can deny this
statement, supported as it is by the report of
the Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr. Fill
more, the Chairman of the Committee of Ways
aud Means of the House, we shall proceed
to examine the other articles mentioned, su
gar, molasses, salt, blankets, and Cotton Bag
lllg.
Mr. Meriwether says that sugar, molasses,
and salt, are subject, by the compromise act,
to specific duties. We asserted that coflee
and teas were not subject to any duty by ex
isting laws ; but we uevdr asserted that sugar,
salt, and molasses, were also free of duty.
We know that sugar, brown, was subject to
a specific duty of two and a half cents per
pound, and wmte, to a duty of three and a half
cents per pound; that molasses was subject
to a specific duty of five cents per gallon • and
that salt was subject to a specific duly of ten
cents per bushel. What did we assert?—
That a whig house of Representatives passed
a bill laying a lax of 23 per cent on molasses,
sugar ami salt. How ! By the new tariff it
is provided that a duty of twenty percent ad
valorem, shall he collected on articles now
admitted free of duty, or u liich arc chargeable
with ad yof less tuan 20 per cent ad valo
rem, ex— >1 the articles enumerated in the bill.
Are the articles of coffee, tea, sugar, moldeces,
and salt, among those excepted I No. Then
the articles of coffee, tea, sugar, molasses, a‘.id
salt, are subject to duty. Tea and coffee, now
admitted free, will have to pay a duty equal
to twenty per cent ad valorem; and the articles
of sugar, molasses, and salt, which are now
subject to a specific, duty, will be also subject
to a duty of twenty per cent ad valorem, if
flic specific duty chargeable on each amounts
to a less duty than twenty percent ad valorem.
Can the position we have assumed be denied \
Certainly not. ‘Then the question arises, is a
specific duty on molasses of five rents per
gallon, on salt of ten cents per bushel, and on
brown sugar of two and a hall cents, on white
of three aud a half cents per pound, more or i
less than an ad valorem duty of twenty per!
cent ? if less, the new tariff in.*—ases the I
duty to twenty per cent ad valorem ; if more,!
the people will have to pay the same duty that j
they now pay on those three articles. Can !
Mr. M erivvetber controvert our statement?,
lie cannot. But the Georgia delegation had
it in their power to relieve the people of the 1
south from the duty they now pay on salt, su
gar, and molasses, and they had it in their
power to prevent the same people from being
taxed twenty per cent on the coffee and tea
they drink, which have become with them ne
cessaries of life. And it is because the mem
bers of the Georgia delegation iiad that pow
er, which they did not choose to exert, that
they have neon ceusured by us, and by ilia
people of the south.
The Georgia delegation had the power to
defeat the tariff bHI • tney did not exercise it.
‘J'lieyliad the power to exclude from the arti
cles subject to a tax of twenty per cent tea
and coffee : they did not exercise it. They
had the power to include the articles of sugar,
salt, and molasses, among those admitted free
of duty : they did not exercise it. On the
contraiy, they exercised the power they had,
in imposing a tax of twenty per cent on tea
and coffee, and in continuing llte specific du
ties on sugar, salt, and molasses, llovv did
this happen 1 In the House of Representa
tive?, July 30, the tariff hill being under con
sideration, Mr. Lawrence moved an amend
ment to the bill ex, mpling from duty the arti
cles of tea and co-Jee. Mr. Clifford moved an
amendment to tue amendment of Mr. Law
rence, by adding molasses, sugar, and salt, to
the articles to be admitted free of duty. Mark
well, reader, the result of these proceedings.
The question was taken first on the amend
ment of Air. Clifford, to the amendment of
Air. Lawrence. The amendment of Mr. Clif
ford to the amendment of Mr. Lawrence, by
which sugar, salt, and molasses, were added
to tea and coffe , as articles to be exempted
from duty, was carried by ye is 11 2, noes 84.
So it appears that the whig House of Repre
sentatives agreed to add sugar, salt, and mo
lasses, to tea and coffee, as articles to be ex
craptcd from duty. But what was the sequel 1
On the question being taken on the amend
ment of Air. Lawrence, as amended by Mr.
Clifford, which went to exempt from duiy not
only tea and coffee, but molasses, sugar, and
salt, there were for the amendment 57 only,
and against it 112. The amendment was re
jected, and the whig house of representatives
decided that lea, coffee, molasses, sugar, and
salt, should be taxed. Were not the members
of the Georgia delegation among the 112 who
voted to tax tea, coffee, molasses, sugar, and
salt 1 What can Air. Munweilier say to this
statement, made iiorn the proceedings ol the
House 1
With regard to Cotton Bagging, an article
exclusively consumed in the southern states,
and which is of p remount importance to the j
cotton planters, the new tariff imposes an ad
ditional duty upon it, uot in a direct manner,
but by laying a tax of twenty per cent ad val
orem, oii bleached and unbleached linens,
which, by the existing tariff, are admitted tree
of duty. We shall produce a u-hig. member
of the House of Representatives, as authority
for our statement. Air. Wise, after the new
jlariff bill had passed, and the question was on
Adopting its title, rose and moved to amend
the same, by striking out the title which had
M .teu read, and inserting in lieu thereof the
‘words “a toil io violate the compromise act ot
M.j Mjrcij, hr Ml.’ lie said “that every head
should suit its b-ffy, and every body should
suit its K id. Every caption should suit its
chapter M e the cb.-Mer simuld suit the cap
tion. So • iouid tiie’iok. o! a bill suit the bill
itself, ff'the opportunity k-M been given of

question, he was satisfied it would ha. If the
amendment which he had offered in committee
of the whole relative to unbieached linens ; it
he could have had the yeas and nays on that
question, he would have been content to let
the bill pass with its original title. The Cot
ton Bagging of Kentucky already had a pro
tection of three and a half per cent and the
new tariff bill gave it an additional protection
of SEVENTEEN AND A HALF FEB CENT under
tiio lona of bleached and unbleached linens,
which was in direct violation of the comprom
ise act” \Y e will ask Mr. Meriwether if the
cotton planters can submit to increased taxa
t.ou on an article of such immense consump
tion ? The present duly on cotton bagging
is three and a half cents per square yard, and
the cotton bagging of Kentucky is to be pro
jected by an additional tax of seventeen and
a half per cent! !
We have passed in review the articles ol
tea, coffee, mo usses, sugar, sail, and cotton
bagging. YVe shall not dwell on the article
of coarse blankets, as H is admitted on all
hands that the duty, by the new tariff', is in
creased from 5 to 20 per cent., or, a3 Mr.
Habersham said, in a speech delivered in the
House, to some 25 or 30 per cent, according
to the home valuation alter the Ist ol July
nt-Xf. Mr. Habersham added, “ that this ar
tide was a necessary of lile e\ery where; an 1
article principally used among the poorer
classes, and especially among the negroes uf|
planting stales.” He said also, “ ti.at it had |
struck him that this case was a strong evi- :
deuce of the protective character of the bill, at !
least on a particular article.” And yet, not- j
withstanding the protective feature of the bill; i
notwitsialuting that tnis additional tax on 1
blankets would fall most heavily on the plan
ters of Georgia, the Georgia delegation voted
for the new tariff bill!!
Mr. Meriwether regrets most deeply the
necessity of levying the duties proposed by
the bill in question. YVe believe in hi3 deela
lalion ; and we belieue in the honesty of his
vote on the bill. But we firmly belisve also,
that tiie time will soon come when conviction
will strike his mind, that the necessity of an
increase ol revenve did not arise irotn the
mismanagement of the late administration, nor
from a debt of sixteen millions of doilai s left
to he provided for by the present administra
tion. Can any man not see that tire necessi
ty for an increase of revenue has arisen since
the present administration have come into
power? Will not the distribution bill take
from the revenue three millions of dollars?—
W ill not the fortification bill, tiie home squad
run bill, the pension bill, the post office bill,
and other appropriation biffs which have
passed and may pass at tiie present extra
sesi ‘-m, absorb five hundred thousand dollars
of the public revenue ? Will not the interest
of the public debt created at this extra ses
sion, of twelve millions of dollars, if all bor
rowed, require an annual expenditure of a
bout eight hundred thousand dollars? Aud
can Mr. Meriwether say that the necessity
lir an increase of the tariff arose from the
measures of the administration ? Yes, we
repeat the belief v.e entertain, that the time
wiff soon come, when the good sense and in
telligence of the people of tins country, will
overcome all the obstacles that have preven
ted them so far tiom forming a just and
correct opinion of the measures of the last
administration; and we repeat also that we
are willing to abide by the opinion and the deci
sion which tbe good sente at:d intelligence of
the people will express eff’ the measures of
the present administration.
’ To the Editor of the Georgia Constitutionalist:
| I see by your paper of the 14th instant, that,
you have arraigned the “Georgia Delegation,”
myself included, tor having voted for the rev
enue bill passed at the present session of
Congress. In tins article you have endeav
ored to hold us up to public censure, for having
discharged a duty which the highest dictates
ot patriotism demanded. Under ordinary cir
cumstances I should not have regarded the
article, but as it contains statements directly
at variance with the facts, and as your attack
upon myself and Colleagues, is but a part and
parcel of that which has been commenced
elsewhere out of the State, to remove the
present delegation from office, because it is
supposed they may not bs tributary to the
ambition of others; for myself, I have to ask
the use of your columns to correct several
errors of fact, into which you have fallen, in
reference to the subject of your attack. You
say:
“It will be for the people of the South to
remember that as a relief measure, the Whig
; House of Representatives of the U. States
! passed a bill laying a tax of 20 per cent, on
■ Tea, Molasses, Salt, Ciffet, Sugar, and other
I necessaries of life, and that such things as
i Precious Slones, Quid and Silver Epaulette,
| Hems, Engravings, Sialuary, and other arti
! c,les of tins description, can be imported free
;of duty. Not one democratic member of
j Congress voted for the bill.”
Allow me to say to you, no such bill as you
I have described, and containing such provis
ions'. was ever passed by the House of Repre
sentatives. No such measure was ever
j voted for by the “Georgia Delegation,” nor
any part ol them, nor uas such a bill ever
j reported to the House to be acted upon by it.
; No hill has passed the “House of’ Represea
| tatives,” to tax “ Molasses, Salt and Sugar,
’ nor anv to exempt from taxation the articles
vou have mentioned, ‘l ire article of sugar
; pays a duty now from 2! to 31 cents per lb.:
Sail, 10 cents on every 58 lbs.; Molasses, o
cents per gallon. Under tiie compromise act
those duties are to be reduced after 30! Ii June,
1841, to 20 per cent, act valorem. Now, the
revenue bill, passed at the present session ot
Congress, by the House of Representatives,
; has nothing whatever to do with any article
paying a duly over 20 per cent, ad valorem,
out relates exclusively to those which are
free, aud paying a duty less than 20 per cent.
Now I think, that had you looked to the bill,
and not relied upon the assertions of a letter
writer from this place, who doubtless knows
nothinf- of the provisions of (he bill, and it he
; da!, being paid lor what he wrote, Ad not c.aic
whether lie told the truth or not, you would
not 1; -ve attacked the Georgia delegation so
fiercely, nor the Whig party, for doing that
whir., they d;.i not do. As to the Precious
Stones, I*l -auletts, Gems, Engravings, Statu
ary, and the like, of which you speak, if you
will but turn to the law, you will ilnd that the I
bill leaves them where the law Las hitherto j
placed them, and still places them. YV he never
Engravings and Statuary are imported, espe-,
daily for the promotion of science, they are i
admitted duty free. Precious Stones and j
Gems pay a duty of 12i per cent. In these!
particulars the law has not been changed, as]
it existed during the great tariff excitement.
No man of any party seeks to stifle the pro
gress of science, by taxing specimens of line !
arts. For, lam sure, you will not condemn :
?oliberal a principle, .is to the other articles, j
experience has proven that if you tax them:
beyond the duty now paying, being of small j
bum, and great value, they are smuggled iif,
and pav no duty at aii. No man of any party
here thinks it prudent to change the law in
that respect.
You may censure the “ Whig party ” for
the bill which passed the “ House of Repre
sentatives,” but let me say to you, that they!
have only carried out the proposition made to
the last* session of Congress by your own
{•arty.
Air. Woodbury, in Lis report under date
18th January, 1811, recommended to Con
gress to put a duty of 20 per cent., the very !
duty imposed, upon a variety of articles, and !
among them were tea, coffee, worsted stalls,;
and wool, under 8 cents per lb. And he pro
posed to admit “precious stones, epauietts,
gems, engravings, statuary, and other articles
of this description,” under the same rules and
duties, as the bill prescribes, of which you
comolain. And notwithstanding Mr. Wood-;
bury said that this law* was necessary to be
passed, to meet the defect in the Treasury,
yet the democratic party, for no other reason
than to escape the censure of having imposed
these duties, determined to leave the measure
to the adoption of the whig party. This they
have done, and now you censure them for
doing what your party recommended to be
done !
I submit to you, Mr. Guieu, if you treat
your opponents with justice, in pursuing such
a course towards them !
That the bill which passed the House was
indispensably necessary for the government,
I am prepared to show whenever its necessity
is denied ; and further, that the past adminis
tration, after expending §31,008,000 more
money than it received, lelt the government
with a debt exceeding §lo,ooo,ooo—unpaid.
You have published a letter written from
this place to Philadelphia, with acommunica
tion from a correspondent, attacking the Geor
gia delegation, and by way of rendering tiie
letter more obnoxious, it is said that they voted
for the bill, but that the Massachusetts dele
gation were divided. Now, sir, the very rea
son which prompted the one to vote for it, was
the avowed reason why the latter voted against
it. The Georgia delegation voted ibr the bill,
the revenue be.ng wanted, because it carried
out to the very letter the compromise law.
The Massachusetts delegation divided be
cause a part being high tariff’ men, refused to
recognise in any way the obligations and bind
ing effect of that law, u inch abandons the
principle of protection.
1 can but regrot tixat the unfair representa
tion which you have made, has been made at
oil. It is calculated to prejudice the public
mind as to the truth, and to create divisions
upon a subject on which we at the south
should le united. It may be a game well
worth playing, to turn tiie ins. out and put the
oafs in, to misrepresent the acts of our oppo
nents, to fasten upon others what we may do
ourselves; but we do not subserve the cause
of justice by such a course.
No one regrets more deeply than myself the
necessity of levying the duties proposed by
the biil which has passed the House of Repre
sentatives—but that necessity has arisen from
two causes: first, tiie reductions under the
compromise act, and, secondly, the deranged
and embarrassed condition of the government
produced by the mismanagement of tiie late
administration. The obligations which 1 owe
to my country require me, regardless of all
personal considerations, to maintain its plight
ed faith. With sentiments of personal es
teem, I remain your obedient servant,
JAMES A. MERIWETHER.

TAXATION.
We were utterly astounded to find in the
last Statesman the following paragraph:—
“Should we raise our national as our state
taxes, directly from our pockets, the disagree
ableness of it would, no doubt, be abundantly
repaid by the greater economy it would cause
in the application of our funds.”
YVhen it is recollected that Daniel Web
ster at Saratoga Springs denounced the last
administration as being in favor of direct tax
ation, enumerating it as one of the enormities
for which it ought to be hurled from power,
representing it as fraught with the most des
tructive consequences, and accused the sup
porters of Mr. Van Buren in the South of
declaring that they went for direct taxation
because “ it will bring the Norik to ike grind
stone,’’ attributing the language quoted to Mr.
Rhett of S. C. who afterwards compelled him
ignominiouely to retract the slander—when it
is recollected that the democratic parly intend
ed to make direct taxation the hand-maid of
the Sub-Treasury, painting the k rmer as
hardly less horrible and odious than the latter,
distorting the sentiments of the democrats and j
falsely imputing to them opinions they never
entertained and declarations they never made
—when it is recollected that tbe writers and
orators of the federal party every where and
on every occasion decked up the proposition
of direct taxation in all tiie dark and forbidding
habiliments which could serve to embody and
picture forth a most terrible creature, whose
bare appearance would suggest and conjure
up fearful ideas of oppression, despot ism, mis
rule, desolating famiue, wasting poverty and
miseries unutterable, in order to make the
people believe that the democrats werepursu
.ng a policy to render them slaves and serfs
—is it not past all comprehension that a paper
which was then the’ leading federal organ in
this State, should now, so soon after its parti
cipation in this hue and cry, openly declare its
approval of direct taxation? Verily, the
Statesman has abandoned some of the errors
of its party since it was postponed to the Cou
rier. it is only one of the instances occurring
daily and showii g the falsehoods and depravi
ty of the federal party, and the honesty and
sincerity of the democratic party. It is the
tribute that vice pays to virtue. But Mr. Ela
goes farther and states what will procure for
him more castigation from the hands of Mess.
Prentiss, Beard, Warland, and others. He
says—“ still our taxes are 100 high, but we
trust that under our Whig Administration
they will be materially reduced,” and this he
says when his party are passing a tax bill in
Congress, taxing tea, coffee, sugar, molasses,
salt, and other j necessaries, which will add
about §12,080,080 to the coffers of the Treas
ury for wasteful; and profligate expenditure by
tiie party in power, and increase the burthens
of New Hampshire, to enable a federal Ad
ministration to riot in extravagance and splen
dor, about §250,000 1 “ Our taxes are 100
high,” exclaims’ Mr. Ela; well knowing that
by a system of “Mexican legislation” his
party in Congress are increasing our taxes
and contracting debts to render farther and
more oppressive taxation necessary to redeem
the engagements, which the country is forced
into to carry out. party purposes.
l);d tiie people feel the operation of tariffs
and indirect taxation as they feel that of direct
taxation, no man and no party would dare to
impose upon them the measures which a fed
eral Congress are fastening around their
necks. YVe wish that our custom houses
were demolished and their officers disbanded.
Direct taxation is in truth the least oppress
ive, the most just and equal mode of raising j
the means to support the government. The !
costs of collection by this mode are less by j
about three fourths, and by it economy and ’
frugality w ould be ensured in the expenditure ■
!of the public money; and no more money j
j would be raised than would Le necessary to!
i support the government. But as Mr. Rhett
j and McKeon say, the hope of the adoption of!
j the system at yesent is worth but. little. An i
j immense pile ot errors, old and rusty, preju- j
j dices bitter and strong, and rubb.sh of all i
; kinds must first be removed. j
Election in Al.une.--Oi’ the glorious tri
umph of the democracy in Maine a! the ap
proaching election we have not the Slighest
doubt, provided our friends do their duty.—
Trie democratic papers of that State are no
bly and powerfully engager! in awakening
ar.J rousing up the democrats to tire vital im
portance of mieeeming Marne from the stain
of tederai sm, at tins juncture in the affairs of
the country. We teel proud of the ability,
faithfulness and zeal of ti.e democratic jour
nals of Maine. Their efforts must produce
a correspondent effect, but vve gather the
opinion from various sources, that a great
degree of apathy ar.d indifference prevails in
our ranks there. It is now but a little time
since the unparalleled excitement of the
Presidential election, and it is hard to rouse
the people to the requisite action. If our
friends in Maine will move as one nun, adopt
the vigorous measures they ought victory is
certaiu.

TO THE PUBLIC.
In tho “Star of Florida” issued in Tallahas
see, 14th July 1841, an article was published
by its lying and corrupt editor Cosam Emir
Bartlett in the following words, to wit: Allu
ding to the failure of the Chattahoochee Bank
he says—
“ The first suspicion we had of the standing
of this Bank, was the appearance among us,
ol - the notorious Eiias Simpson, who has lately
hailed from St. Josephs—and who lias been
more or les3 connected with every outrageous
Bank Bamboozlement, which has occurred
during the last ten years, both in Georgia and
Florida—with a lot of these bills for the pur
pose of buying negroes.”
Now, so far as this base production has re
ference to myself, I have only to say, that I
refer the public or any individual to the Offi
cers, Directors, or any other person or per
sons who were directly or indirectly connect
ed with said Bank, for the veracity of the au
thor’s remarks; and they will find that I nev
er have had any thing to do or even any trans
action with either the said Institution, its offi
cers or its Directors ; and the public will thus
find that this mid-night assassin must have
been instigated by Satan to stab an innocent
man in the dark.
Now as lor my being a short time before the
explosion of tins Institution in Tallahassee,
and in the language of this sentinel of the
public interest, this moral, honest, and appeas- i
dig creature, Cosam Emir Bartlett, he had -no
suspicion of this Lank fraud until he saw “The
notorious Enas Simpson among U3,” 1 can only
state (and what 1 state I can prove,) that I
had some claims in Florida, and amongst the
many was one against tins honest him
self, for a few hundred dollars ; and for which
1 would have bean glad, at the tune, to take
this same money, (Chattahoochee R. Road
and Banking Company of Georgia.) For as
this same honest Emir is not in the habit of
paying honest debts, I, of course, was bound,
in justice to my self, to sue, and I Visited ‘1 al- j
iahassee to see my attorneys; These facts
this straw colored editor certainly knew, not- j
| withstanding he states that lie had no suspi- J
! cion of tins Bank fraud until he saw me in j
i Tallahassee—thus much for the first charge, i
I In the second charge against rue he says : j
‘•ile is the same chap that played a similar j
! trick in the purchase of cotton with the bilis j
| of the commercial Bank of r lori.ia.”
In reply I have only to say, tliat it this hon- i
• cst editor can produce a man within or with- j
I out the limits of these United States, who can \
j prove satisfactorily (and he must be honest— |
I not like the author of this base article.) that I
■ have ever bought cotton for Commercial mo
! nev of Florida, unless whilst its Bank bills
j were bankable in the city of Columbus, I eav
j it he shall be able to prove this fact, I will pay
j him one thousand dollars in specie, and be
! sides give him the debt he owes me. Now
; here is a banter to a man that will lie for mo-!
i ney to make something handsome in an honest!
1 way.
I think that I have repelled the charges
this unprincipled editor has thought proper to
heap upon me, and will therefore, leave him
i to the contempt he so justly merits.

editor sooner, but did not meet his lying pa
