TIIE ROMAN BEGGAR BOY.
Alas ! the little beggar boy,
He had a look beyond his years ;
His idle limb* were half unclothed.
His mouldy crust was wet with tears.

The world bad welcomed him with blows,
The world had welcomed him with scorn,
Thus, wnere there should have bloomed a roe,
There grew a black anu blighted thorn.
HI
I sent his wretched rndther bread,
When in a inoilier’s agony
She lay upon her painful bed,
That yet another hie might be;

She who had nought to live for, lived,
And h*r young heir of misery,
The beggai boy, hung round my door.
And, glad and grateful, greeted me.

To-day he watched tin'll I came,
Then tun'd, doffed his ragged cap,
And laid the first sweet flowers of spring,
Meek violets, upottniv lap.

Poor little one ! thou knewest not
It was a charitable deed,
Nor that mv languid thirsting soul
Had of thy grateful offering need.

May He who gives the ravens bread,
Who teaches every thing to live,
Who said, ‘They likewise shall be b est
Who but a cup of water give

If th re he, as then; is, in iji;s ‘valley of ten’s,’
One remeniKrance more sweet than at o’her,
It is that which runs hack to our infantile years—
The remembrance of thee—dearest mother!
In the wide spdn of nicm’ry now circling the past,
There are loved ones long lost to each other,
And as thou wort the first, so thou still art the last,
To sinilo fondly on me—dearest mother !
Though endeared, ns it is—think mu< h as we may
Os the love of a sister >r brother,
Yet it borrows the wurmih of its brightening ray
From thy Heaven of Love—dearest mother!

Which age upon age cannot smother—

Oh, be it then, mine—dearest mother!

THE “KANE LETTER” AGAIN.
V\ e did not suppose it possible that, in any
event, ibe name of Cyril V. Grey could have
appeared in the columns of ‘*the Union’*—a
Swiss scribbler, first for Bennett’s Herald,
(winch connexion he was forced to cut.) and
next as a scribbler for the “Charleston Mer
cury,” and, us we shrewdly suspect, a hireling
correspondent at the same time for J. YV.
Webb’s whig Courier—and a man who has
been utterly regardless of the decencies of
the public press. But the following commit
nicalioii reached us this day; and we have
determined, forumce, and lor once only, to
stain our columns with (he productions ol lus
pen. Here are his communications :
Washing!on City,
Sept. 27, 1845.
To the Editor of the Union :
Sir :— 1 take leave to hand you the accom
panying, in reference to my statement ofthe
authorship of the Kano letter, and request us
publication in the columns of the Union.
Should it not appear iu your paper of this
evening, I shall conclude that you have re
fused* its insertion.
CVRIL V. GREY,
Correspondent of the Charleston Mercury.
Washington City, Sept. 27, 1815.
To the Editor of the Union :
Sir: lii a letter addressed by me to Ihe
Charleston Mercury, I staled‘’that llie cele
brated Kane Iciter, pul l'orlli by Mr. l’olk, is
understood to have been written by the pre
sent Secretary of the Treasury.” In your
paper of the IStli inst., were some reinurks
which I did not consider a denial of tlie above
statement ; and in my letter of the 19th in
stant, published in the Mercury of tlie 24'ii
I called for an authoritative denial, which 1
expected in your paper of last night. You
have not given it. In your editorial of tlie
19th instant, you pronounce my statement
an “impudent humbug fable,” which “it is
unnecessary to contradictand you char
acterize it, with o'lier consequential facts ]
stated, (such as Mr. Walker electioneering
for Mr. Polk as the anti tariff, and Mr. Bucli
anan advocating turn as the true'protection
candidate,) as “fables” and “ absurdities.”
You conclude your remarks as follows :
In making these reinarks.it is not our
desire to show any disrespect to the ‘Balti
more American.’ On thecontrary, we frank
ly assurd its editor that we would pay any
editor, for whom we feel less respect, the
compliment of contradicting such fables as
lie lias condescended to endorse by his sanc
tion. Fables they are—gross, gratuitous,
shameless fables ; tor we state upon the best
authority, that the whole statement is false
from beginning to end, without a. solitary cir
cumstance of any kind, however remote, to
base it upon. This is strong, unqualified lan
guage that we employ ; but we are aware
of its power, and feel authorized to employ it
in all its force.”
And in your paper of tlie 231 instant, you
say further:
“ The scribbler who puts forth the other
story of Mr. Walker’s having written Mr.
Polk’s letter to Mr. Kane, also pretends to
say that we have not directly contradicted
his story. Why, what do the authors of
these statements expect of us 7 Must we
not only say that both these statements are
false—that they are idle, and contemptible
fabrications ; but we must add, that they are
tlie shameless fabricators of absurd false
hoods? True, as the Tribune says, we ‘are not
a party in the controversy ;’ bat we make
our statements upon ‘undoubted authority,’
from those who are tho parties.”
Now, sir, if you mean to deny what I said
of Mr. Walker’s and Mr. Buchanan’s course
during the presidential election, you call in
question the most notorious facts ofthat peri
od—of which tlie witnesses are innumerable
—and ycu would lose tlie power of giving
force to any den al. Bui lam compelled to
suppose (since you do not respond to my call
[VOL. V.—NO 42.
for an authorized denial) that you do not mean
to be understood as affirming, that the state
ment that Mr. Walker was the author of tlie
Kaue letter “is false from begimiihg to end,
without a solitary circumstance of any kind,
however remote, to base it upon,” and iha’
you profess to make this denial upon the
“best authority.”
1 did not assert that Mr. Walker wrote
that letter ; but tlie caution of my language
was from no want of full conviction of tlie
trutli of what 1 put forth. I, 100, have spok
en on what 1 deemed “the best authority,” be
lieving my “ statement ” to be true from be
ginning to end, based in all its circumstances
upon actual occurrences, i have liesilated
some time, but at length have date mimed to
give you my authority. The Hon. Reverdy
Johnson, now United S'ates senator from
Maryland, was informed by aiutther senator,
that Mr. Walker himself had tldd linn that
he was Ihe writer or author of the Kasc let
ter. Mr. Johnson has made no secret of this
information among friends, or even acquain
tances ; and doubtless is both able and wilting
to vindicate the truth,on a matter w'Wch is
connected with great public questions and
the general interests ol the country. Not
content with knocking, you have knocked
open tlie door ; and now, sir. permit n o to
introduce you into the presence-chamber of
TRUTH. (Jod send you a safe deliver
ance.
The Correspondent oj the Mercury.
We wili pot condescend to criticise every
part of the above communication. We tvil!
not stoop to argue with Mr. Cyril V. Grey
upon the speculations winch he lias so idly
and impudently advanced. But we will con
fine ourselves to tlie great issue of fact which
lie lias Keen so absurd as to make. We will
not say, with him, “Cod send linn a safe de
liverance !” It we do not call him a reck
less calumniator, we will, as Junius says, at
least “prove him so.”
We are authorized by tlie President ofthe
United Stales, and by the Secretary of the
Treasury, to stale, that the statement ol the
correspondent of the ‘Charleston Mercury,”
whose communication we publish above)
“that Mr. W alker, the Secretary ofthel
Treasury, is the author of President Polk’s
letter to Mr. Kane, on the subject of the
tariff”’written on tlie 19;Ii June, 1814, is
“false in its parts, from beginning to end,
without a solitary circumstance of any kind,
however remote, to base it, upon. The whole
statement is unqualifiedly untrue.” Mr.
Polk wrote dial letter at his residence in
Tennessee, on the 19th day of June, 1814.
where it bears dale, and mailed it at that
place to Mr. Kane, at Philadelphia. Mr.
W’alker was at Washington city at that time,
and was as ignorant that any such letter had
been written, or that Mr. Polk intended to
write such a letter, until it was published in
the newspapers, as any man in the country,
who never had heard of it. Mr. Walker
was never consulted hy President Polk about
writing the letter, or about its contents.
President Polk, in that letter, reiterated
his opinions on the tariff-—opinions which he
had often before publicly avowed, and upon
w hich lie had acted during the period when
h was a inemberuf Congress. Air. Walkci
did not know, even, that Mr. Kane intended
to write, nr that he had written any letter, of
any kind, on any subject, to Mr. Poll;, until
some time after it had been written ; and
never had any communication, either in con
versation or in any other manner, with Mr.
Kane, about wrilling any letter on the tariff,
or any other subject, to Mr. Polk. The
whole storv, as we have heretofore said, is
basely I also.
And now, we ask, what appears to be tiie
facts of the case? Tint tlie correspondent
of tlie Mercury, who lias issued such fabulous
and gross misrepresentations in the form of
letters from this city, is Cyril V. Grey.
We are glad that we have now tlie opportu
nity of exposing the author of these letters to
the Charleston Mercury. And who is Cyril
V. Grey ? An Englishman who lias been in
tlie United Slates but three or four vears, —
has never been naturalized in tlie United
States, and at this moment owes allegiance
to the crown of Great Britain. And has it
come to this, —that a straggling Englishman,
owing no allegiance to the United Slates, hut
having, it may be, all ihe feelings, sympathies,
and opinions of an Englishman, shall be
pensioned as a lured writer of letters, sta
tioned at Washington hy such a paper as the
Charleston Mercury, to send forth daily his
base calumnies upon ihe government ol the
United States and its public functionaries?
in charity to tlie Charleston Mercury, we
cannot believe that it could have known the
true character of the foreign iris'rumen tit
has employed to slander and misrepresent
Mr. Poik, his administration, and his friends
At all events, it is proper that our leading
democratic friends in the Soulli, and through
out the Union, Bliould know who ■ lie instru
ment is who has been thus employed. \?e
ask tlie proud and gilted “friends of Mr.
Calhoun” liuw long tlie Charleston Mercury
will abuse their na lienee by such reckless
misstatements, or how long they will suffer
the Mercury to abuse their confidence ? We
say fun her in the American people, how long
will they suiTer a morbid curiosity after not
what is true, but after what is circulating in
tlie kennels of this city, to be gratified by
such gross misrepresentations ? It is for
them to determine.
We ow e an ai>ologv, perhaps, to Mr. Rever
cly Johnson, for publishing his name in con
nextonjwith so gro-isa fahrica'ion. We do not
suppose him capable of making so unfound
ed a statement. But if we were to mutilate
Cyril V. Grey's communication, he might
make it a subject of couap'aint, and perhaps
of attack ; and if we did not publish Mr.
Johnson’s name—why, C. V. G. would. —

It soon became noised about, among his

tlie body, and carried it to one of their own

with faith that t hey could restore him to

sang over the corpse nearly all Sunday night.
It is perhaps needless to say that they did
not make a raise.

From Ihe Augusta Chronicle and Seminal
GOVERNOR CRAWFORD—THE TARIFF.
Woodvt lle, Greene Cos. Ga., )
September 16, 1845, J
Dear Sir: —There being a number of
your frtenas in this region who voted for
you in 1843, & would do so again, were they
sati'fied you were not ultra on the ‘Tariff
question. I have made a statement to them
of a casual conversation which took place
in the cars on your return from Athens;
which conversation was immediately ad
dressed to Esquire Gtllara, in my pre
sence. The statement 1 have made is en
tirely satisfactory to them, but there are
those cynical doublers who insinuate that
mv partiality might have made me miscon
ceive you on so complex a subject as the
Tariff.
The statement which I have made of
your sentiments as expressed on the cars*
is as follows i * That there are features in
tho Tatiffof 1842 that were not only unjust;
but w icked - lor instance, the duty on cot
ton bagging and iron; the duty on the first
being enormous and burtheosome to the
whole cotton growing Slates, and benefit
ing the hemp growers of Kentucky alone}
the doty on the last beiug enormous and
hurtlieiisome to the whole agricultural in
terests of the country, for the benefit of the
iron mongers of Pennsylvania. That those
feautures of the Tariff, took from the many
lor the benefit of the few, and were con*
sequently unjust and wicked. That you
were in favor ot a strictly revenue Tariff
with just discriminations, that is, to put on
as high dudes on luxuries as they would
hear, hut, upon articles of prime necessity;
to discriminate so as to protect home indus
try, yet not interfere with a just competition
iii market for such goods, to the end that
we might not only have a cheap but a good
aiticle.” Now if I have represented your
statements and sentiments rightly, please
to signify it to me at as early an opportuni
ty as possible, as I feel my vetaciiy slightly
involved from the doubts expressed by some
who like not the satisfaction which your
views (as above stated) have given to the
wavering in this region. I shall make use
of your answer as you may advise.
Yours, respectlullv, &c.
JAMES M. DAVISON*
To his Excellency, Geo. W. Crawford.
Mii.ledgf.vh.le, Sept. 23, 1845.
Dear Sir: —Yours of the 16'h inst., is
just received. My absence on the State
Rail oad has delayed a reply; which I now
briefly and hastily make, and say, that your
recollection of our conversation about the
Tariff of 1842 is correct.
In tlie adjustment of a Tariff, the stale of
duties should be levied iu reference to rev
enue. This constitutes the necessity and
rigiit. For instance; laces, jewelry, and
other articles of small bulk but of great val
ue, and universally admitted to be luxuries,
cannot be taxed according to any of the ap
proved rules and principles of taxation, be
cause, by tliis application, tha temptation to
smuggle, and its facility of success would
cut off'revenue from them. Hence, articles
of this class are put down lower than those
of prime necessity. This is, then a case
of discrimination for revenue, in which the
competition between domestic and foreign
labor is completely overlooked. Assuming
it, then, as true, that revenue is to be main
ly, regarded and discrimination permitted,
in the details of a Tariff, we tnay be met
by the objection, that this discrimination is
only lor me sake and benefit of revenue.—
Let us see whether the objection, or rather
restriction, is really so narrow. The labor
of a seaman and husbandman differs only in
kind. The one, is skid applied on water —
the oilier, as applied on laud. Now, coeval
with the government, have been tonnage
and navigation laws, by which a broad dis
crimination is mdde between foreign and
domestic bottoms. The avowed motive of
this discrimination, wa<Fto build up a ma
rine. Titus, we advance, that for national
defence, on and by the sea, we have always
discriminated in favor of tlie labor of our
seamen. If we discriminate for the benefit
of tlie marine service, why not for the land
service'? Ati army is as necessaty as a na.
vy. Seamen and soldiers, however, must
have no’ only arms, but also food and rai
ment. These give employ menl to the ag
ricultural and mechanical arts. If it he al
leged, that these objects do no give autlior
ty to discriminate as to ali the details of do
mestic labor—the answer may then be giv
eu in tlte language of Mr. Madison, on lire
debate of the navigation bill, in 1789. (I
quote from memory.) “The States have
Delegated to tlie Federal Government the
power of protecting domestic industry. If
it lie not in Congress, it is nowhere.” Gen.
Jackson, in one ol itis messages, reiterates
tlie same idea.
Thus we see that discrimination is per
mitted for the sake of revenue, for national
defence, and as claimed by Mr. Madison, as
an inherent right of government if not del
egated. But to what extent oughtdiscrimi
nation to go? To promote competition be
tween the domestic and foreign fairies in
our market. This would give to the largest
class (the consumers) cheaper and better
articles. If carried beyond litis point, dis
crimination becomes odious, because partial
and unjust. Adopt these general princi
ples and the people of the Union will be
content.
Since you referred !o two articles, Iron
and Cotton bagging, allow me to say only
a lew words in relaiinn lo ihe duties on
them. Iron has a duly of 80 to 120 percent
on the prime cost—cotton bagging about
100 per cent The people of the Union
have been making iron since and before we
were colonies. Cotton bagging has been
manufactured almost as long as Tennessee
and Kentucky have been Slates—certainly
for the last dinty-6ve years. With such a
ripe experience in those manufactures, such
as time has given, and which u is said can
only be given by it, what shall I sny of that
skill and labor which are one half less pro*
Stable than foreign skill and labor? Fait
competition implies an equality of profits—
at least 9ucli ought to be the standard. Now
to equalize these—ihf foreign fabric must
pay a duty, on an averageot 100 per cent,
iur this competition. The consumer m gen
eral, has to pay this. It is a pretence. The
ironmonger and collon bagging weaver, are
not so deficient. Cupidity is intended as a
substitute for this inferior skill and labor.
I have written this letter at your request,
and for your defence of what you have al
leged about my opinions in this respect, and
you may use it as you think proper. Whilst
1 seek no concealment—l covet net notoriety.
As your controversy has been only conver
sational, I would desire that its use might
bo limited tu the circle of your acquaintan
ces aud friends. The press, of late, has
given to my motives, opinions and acts,
such a piratical reception, that as a quiet
and unambitious man, I would choose to
avoid such tin unscrupulous crew.
Yours, very respectfully,
GEO. W. CRAWFORD.
