ed upon me. This I was (irmly resolved
upin, that I could not have met, in this ees*
non, the motion of the honorable gentleman
[Mr. Viliers] for tlie reconeideraion of the
corn-la#*—i pay i could not, with this con
viction, have met that motion with a direct
negative. [Loud cheers.] Now, sir, let me
again repent that 1 claim no credit whatever
f r these arguments. My conviction has
been brought about by observation and ex
perience; and 1 dould not, with this convic
tion, have undertaken the defence of the
corn-laws, either upon the public ground
that this country, being highly taxed, the
continuance of protection was necessary, or
upon tl.e ground that it was for the interest
ttf the labonug classes thai high prices should
continue s a guaranteed high wages; [hear,
hear;] and I coull not have undertaken it
upou the ground that the interference with
and >ui2*t:C industry must necessarily paraUzo
commerce. [Hear, hear, hear.] TBut this l
wieb most ardently: 1 wish to have the op
portunity of frankly stating to those gentle
men who have honored me upon so many
occas tins with their confidence, that I can
continue this con est no longer—that they
ruu-'t devolve it upon other persons, howev
er 1 may respect their arguments. I doubt
whether it would not have been advanta
geous if, in another Parliament, this ques
t.un should have been met; but it would have
been my bounden duty to have committed
the defence there undertaken—of protection
to other hands mure able to maintain the
condct.
From the Georgi t Con aitutunalist.
Upon the first page will be found the pro
visions of the Tariff Bill proposed by the
SSecretsry of the Treasury, andan adjoining
column showing the duties tinder the pre
vent Tar ff. The whig presses have already
e,cnetl their batteries upon it. That they
would liud fault with it was to be expected.
It has at one tell swoop abolished the
yßtein of minimum a, which is as gross a
t ystein of deception and fraud as was ever
pel pet rated, in the shape of legislation upon
•ny people. That mode of swelling the du
ties to lour and five limes the amount which,
according to the general terms of the B 11,
vcctued to be imposed, will no longer be tol
erated by a tree and honest people.
The specific duties aLo imposed in some
Instances a duty upon articles which was
b yond a fair rale for revenue, and which
therefore to a certain exteut, cut oiF reve
ls u-', while it afforded unreasonable protec
tion to the home manufacturer. Though not
so objectionable as the odious minimum
princ pie, and in some issolated cases per
haps not objectionable at all, yet we are
phased to >ec it give way to the general
principle of ad valorems. The per oentum
4*l revenue will be up n the sworn value of
the mijHirtcd article, & the promotion will be
therefoie the per cent fixed by law. VVe
see no reason why this is not tair. It is ob
jected that importers may take false oaths
of the value of their importations, and that
even the appraisers will not be a sufficient
check.
These especial favorites of our legislation,
the h *me manufacturers, do not seem com eat
to be protected against a fair competition of
Jvb <r, but rq lire to be protected against
possible immoralities of their fellow citizens
Vrecious moralists lli-se. \Y T e dare say
ih°y have committed quite as many depre
call ns upon their fellow ri'izens by means
if Taritf Laws as ever will be perpetra
ted upon them. At all events, while v;e
v, ©eld wish to see the Got eminent carelul
to protect the levenue against frauds, we
are t.rcd ol beholding its legislation on this
tu'ject directed exclusively to the interests
if a particular class. It the view of lliepro
l vt.ve tarifiii'.es could be carried otr, they
would require the privilege of naming the
amount and rates of duty and inode of impo*
t ‘-.on to suit the pockets of the manufactu
r r>, and call upon the Government to regis
ter their decrees.
Wo see no valid reason why those gen
i own | the nhg party who claims to be
hJvocrics of a ‘Vanjf for revenue, with inci-
J :.'al protection to American industry, should
ti id tiult for its not eueniing adequate pro.
*->cl when the duties range principally
l'rom,*dO to MO per cent.
Iv is objected that tea and coffee are free.
Now. though t! icre is no reason in principle,
v hy these articles are duty free, this much
in iv he sai I toco n nend if, that as they are
articles of universal use, it will be a benefit
1> the whole country, and to every class ol the
Cv'tnnvjnity. It will out be partial in its op
eration, as was tlic free list of articles used by
tiie manufacturers alone, and which was ex
clusively for their benefit.
t>o:ue rs the details ol this bill are objec
tionable. It is in fact an'y th c project ot the
ments wII l\maJ?. and we defer more ex
tended oniwAit, until we see the sort of
lei! that Congress is like to p iss. One thing
is clean” We cannot well be worsted* An
other thing is equally so; Ttie auvoeales
f free tr.:de cannot reasonably expect to
have every thing their own way, by an ab
rupt and total subversion of the system which
it is so king obtained. We make this remark
i’>r the benefit of the Charleston Mercury.
This result must be accomplished gradually,
and we consider that the bill recommended
is almost as near an approximate as we had
reason to anticipate.
The correspondent of the Mercury objects
that by the home valuation, the amount of
revenue raided will be too great. That the
duties will be higher than under McKay’s
t ill. The correspondent of the New York
Courier & Enquirer objects that the duties
will not be high enough. The one swells
the costs andcharges of articles imported
to the utmost extent in his estimate, to make
the duty high. Ti)e other objects that im
porters will put them down at the lowesi
l.mit in their oaths, to make the duty low.
“Who shall decide, when doctors disagree.”
CURIOUS PIECE OF HISTORY.
The Washington correspondence of the
Uch nond Enquirer makes the following
reference to the speech of Mr. C. J. luger
froll, delivered in the House of Representa
tives on the 9.h u!t, and just previous to the
taking of tire notice vote :
Mr. lugersoll has been alluding to the pre
dictions made in different quarters that Eng
land was in ampler preparation to demolish
us, and that, on the moment of intelligence
reaching her that the nctice bill had been
passed,h?r fleets audarmies would lay waste
in every direction. He illustrated the falla
of such predictions with an anecdote of the
times ot the late Canadian troubles. He as •
serteJ ‘‘upon the highest authority,” that
when McLeod was seized and imprisoned,
Mr. Webster, then Secretary of State, wrote
a note (marked private) to the Governor of
Near York, counselling that functionary to
release McLeod instantly; or the sacking of
toe groat city of the new world would be the
conseq jencs. The Governor, somewhat in
credulous, before making up bis mind ven
tured to write to Mr. Webster to know when
Britain proposed to adopt that measure ot
retaliation lor toe assumed wrong inflicted
cn her by the imprisonment of McLeod.—
Mr. Webster replied “immediately—instant
ly,” and tlut the only way to prevent the
city from being reduced to ashes, was to a
baudon all attempts to vindicate the laws of
the State of New York, and to let the pris-i
oner go scott free. When Mr. Webster found
that the Governor was not to ba operated
on, and, at any risk, was determined to main
-1:0 the laws of the State, he employed the
district attorney to defend McLeod at a fee
five thousand dollars; and an attempt to
tf*t him off without trial, wag made under |
—qg
a writ of habeas corpus, which having failed,
then another,by advances to the marshall in
charge of the prisoner to connive at an es
cape. The people became so enraged at
these manifest attempts to trample the State
laws under foot, as to jnfortn the marshal
that if the prisoner was not forthcoming for
trial, his own body should suffer the penalties
which would be indicted on that of McLeod
if convicted after a final triah From this
anecdote he deduced a strong argument to
show how groundless are such fears in the
present crisis.

COTTON MARKET.
Columbus, March 11, 1846.
The demand for cotton continued regular
end free throughout the pas-t week and the
better grades gradually strengthened in price
until 7 cen’s was freely paid and in some in
stances choice lots brought 7f. So far this
week the demand continues at the current
rate of the last.
The falling off inthe receipts as compared
with the same period last year is 346,739
& this is calculated to increase the confidence
of buyers, and as the accounts receivedjyester
day from New York are quite favorable; prices
would doubtless improve still further were it
not foF the lightness to the buyers in the
money market from the present position of
the Banks, who are curtailing their issues
from the necessity of finishing their re
ports by the Ist proximo; this is but a tempo
rary cause, however, which will soon pass off.

DIED,
At his residence in thU city, on Thursday morn
ing the &h, int. Fhasois N. Ruse. Born in the
ciiy of Philadelphia ■ n the 14th Sept. 1316, the de
ceased had not reache 1 his 30:h birth-day. .Alan
early age he rein wed with his father’s family to
Richmond, Virginia. From Richmond afier the de
cease of his father he in we I to A ’gusla and thence
to this city, in the year 1835. Mr. Ruse fell a vic
tim, to that disease so fatal to the human fttnily, and
which in this country annually sacrifices its thousands
—Consumption. During the last three years the
disease had been mailing its insidious and certain ap
proaches, until it completed its ravage on a broken
constitution, an lon Thursday last, tired nature gave
Ufi the contest, arid with it, t’le spirit which animates
the mortal tenement.
It is alike due to the sentiments of the living, and
to the memory of t >e dead, to say that the deceased
was a good man. Asa citizen, as a son, a brother,
and in the still more tender character of a lusband
Francis N. Ruse, was a good man. Scrupulously
correct in bis avocations as a merchant—mild and
gentle in Im manners, amiable in his tern *er, high
toned in his sentiments, fuilv appreciating and faith
fully dcichargiag the duties of tile ; it is no id.e pane
gyric, to pronounce the deceased—a good man. And
yet, how rare the praise! how few, who tiuly meri l
the inede of applause—he is a good man !
Mr. Ruse, was a member of the Protestant Epis
copal Church., and died in its fell communion, and in
calm but confident hope of that blessed immorlality i
wlvch the Bible holds out as the reward es virtue
and Christian faith.
Mr. Ruse has left a laige family circle to feel the
terrible weight of their bereavement. Mother, wife,
ststeis and brother, bewail his loss. May the turf
rest lightly on the ashes of the dead, and time bring
healing upon its wings, to-the wounded hearts of the
living !

Dear Sir—l perceive by all the newspapers, that
you are the General Agent of that very useful and
highly popular Medicine called Wistar’s Balsam ot

; have used Uiat medicine in my family with decided
, success. Last fall my wife was quite sick —had a
. very bad cough, I consulted a physician who vtsit
! ed her and prescribed some medicine, which did not
i remove he cough. At last he ordered Dr. Wistar’s
; Balsam of Wild Cherry. I immediately procured a
: bottle of your agent io this pi&ce, Mr. Daniel W.
j Dotv ; she toot it, and it cured her cough entirely,
j During the winter I had a fever myseif, which left me
i very weak aud feeble—l bad a severe cough, which
I troubled me sometime ; I had recourse to your Bal
; satu again, and found it h'ghly beneficial ; I was ob
liged, however, to take two bottles before I was en
tirely well. All wli.o have had Colds, severe Coughs
or diseased Lungs, l would advise to try

Whereas Die measure of making contract* for cros
sing the bridge by tie year has increased to au ex
tent, such as to threaten a serous domination of ih,;
annual income of the p.iy.and to make it necessary
to increase die city taxes, which are already snffi
ciently burlhepsome, and wh e, eas the privilege
granted, in these contracts is liable lo g eat abuse
from the utter impossibility of confining the contrac
tors to make such use of the br dge as contemplated
by council, at the ii/113 of making r(ie cuntrac s
Therefore, in order the more effectugMy so guard a
gainst the necessity of increasing (he city taxes
whicl| would become neccssaty should there be a
serious dimuiialion of tlie receipts from the bridge
across the Chattahoochee, and in order to make tlie
terms of contract more equal among the beneficiaries.
Be it Resolved, that the bridge keeper shall be pro
vided with a book, suitable tor the purpose, and lie
shall there n keep a true account of the use made
by the biidge by each and every one of the pcr-oris
who may m ike annual contracts wi.h the Mayo* end
council of the city of Columbus, charging such per
sons respectively wyh the regular 10l s.
Be it further Resolved. That when any person, or
peisons shall have recured in tolls from the Mayor
and council of Columbus, according to die account,
kept by the bridge hwper, the atpount of his con
tract threbble the amount paid by said contractor,
thep his con'ract si ail be considered as at|an end,
but from and after that time to tne close of the year
year, he shall be entitled to crosasaid bridge at half
toll,provided nothing herein cquiained shall be so
construed as le cany any contract beyond the cl- sc
of tlie year, IB4S, for the purpose of enoblu);. tny con
tractor to use his account up to threbble the amount
of his contract.
Be it further resolved, that, these reso'utions shall
be considered as pari on a pareil of each contract,
which may be tr may have been passed in 1846, by
the Mayor and council of the city of Columbus.—
