frron th Augusta (Ga.) Conatitutionabst, Aug. 26. 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 •recording the veil? aj e nays upon certain &■_ inendmec s ma te in commutes of the whole,! -fie should! no*, jrive o. opi’d the time of the 1 {--usd iii ’Kiffmg ava n q msiiou, fer a vain • v- i * 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. Washington City. Aug. 17, 1841. From the New ILampshire Patriot. 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.

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. E. SIMPSON.
