calc. For example—x*b cn an article costs one
dollar a yard and 20 Jcr cent duty is imposed,
it amounts to 20 cents on the yard, or 20 dollars
on the 100 yards.
With these explanatory remarks, let us com
pare the duties of the acts of 1342 and ’46, on
some of the leading articles of consumption, and
we shall be able to determine, whether the altera
tions made by the latter act, arc important and
beneficial.
By the act of 1 f*42, there was a specific tax laid
on each gallon of Brandy and spirits distilled from
grain, amounting on an average to 180 per cent.
A this was a specific duty, the better the ar
t.cle, tha lower the duty, in proportion, and the
more infenor the article the higher the duty in
proportion. Hy the act of 1846, a duty of one
hundred per cent is laid, on the same articles ‘ y
and therefore, the better and more costly the ar
ticle. the higher the duty.
b t the act of 1812, the duty on plain mould- ]
ed or pressed glass articles (such as common de
canters, tumblers, cruets, &.c.) weighing over 8
oxs. was 10 cents a pound—all weighing 8 ozs.
and less was 12 cent a pound.
AH common window glass net over 8 hy 10,
2 cents per square foot, Or $2 a 1 ox—not over 10
by 12. 2$ ernts per square foot, or #2 50 ccnty?
|>er box; making the tax on all there articles
generally used, about one hundred jer cent.—
By the hill of 1846, they are taxed 30 percent.
The duty laid by the act of 1842, on pig iron,
was 59, per ton; on iron bars and holts not reli
ed #l7 ; on rolled #25 per ton ; Smoothing and
pressing irons, hollow ware and hinges, 2 j cents
per pound ; on wrought i r cn, (out of which are
made all mechanical ana agricultural implements)
mill irons, iron for ships, &c. and malleable irons
or castings, 4 cents a pound, equal to #B9 60
cents per ton—ranging from 40 to 150 per cent.
—By the act of 1846 they are all taxed 30 per ct.
On woollen Fiannels a duty of I 4 cents the
square yard was laid by the act of 1812, and on
other woollen goods a duty of 40 per cent. Some
coarse Flannels cost as low as 10 cents a yard,
and some fine as high as one dollar a yard. The
coarae thus paid about 100 per cent, and the
fine about 14 per cent. No woollen gcods for
clothing could be imported at less than 40 per
cent.; on all these articles by the act of 1846, 30
per cent is imposed.
On brown Sugars a duty of cents a pound
or #2 50 cents a hundred was imposed by the
act of 1812, equal to 75 or 100 percent.—being
higher in proportion on the inferior, than on the
superior articles—By the last act 30 per cent is
imposed.
On Salt, a duty of 9 cts. for 56 pounds— as a
bushel of Alum salt will weigh 85 pounds, and a
bushel of silt c'nly costs 8 cents, the duty was
equal to 150 per cent, on Alum salt; and not
less than 100 per cent, on aily kind, for blown
salt, the lightest of any, will weigh at least 56
jMMUIds. By the act of 46, only a duty of 20
|er cent, (that is 1 cent and 6 mills) a bushel,
is laid. Much clamor is raised by the Whigs, be
cause we refused, to make salt free in the bill.
Wc voted to keep the duty of 20 per cent, on
salt, because, we believed if it were rfiadc free
the bill would not pass. For the same reason the
Whigs voted to make it free, that the bill might
not pass : and so leave it taxed, from 100 to 150
per cent, under the act of 1842, which was pass
ed by the Whigs.
By that act, “ cottons not printed, and worth
not more than 20 cents per square yard, shall be
valued at 20 cents ; printed cottons (what we
call Calicoes) worth not more thifri 30 cents shall
!• valued at 30 rents—Velvets Moleskins, Fus
tians, Ac. (made of cotton) worth not more than
35 cents, shall lie valued at 35 etnts,” and all
are (axed 30 per cent, on those prices respec
pcctively. By the act of 181 C, they are all
taxed 25 per cent on their actual cost. There
are some cotton articles manufactured, whose
cart, is not more than two’ and a half or three
cents a yard, and from that up to 20 ct.nta a vd:
all these were taxed alike, ur.d all virtually pro
hibited. On ail these tlitts prohibited, not a dollar
of revenue could be collected by the United
States, and the increase of price, which we were
compelled to pay for such articles, made in the
I ttited States, and for which, they could charge
as much as they pleased, all went to the msnu
lacturers, and not to the government ‘Che same,
may be said, ol all Calicoes which cost less than 30
rents, and of ail coarse woollens, fit the face
of the demand lot high duties, the manufactur
ers of the United States, are exporting coarse
Cottons, and we are told they can rimke them
cheaper and better than they can be made in
England. Why then, impose on them a onty
which amounts to prohibition ? Either the state
ment is false, or the duty is wanton oppression.
The last article which will claim our atten
tion is cotton bagging, made of Hemp and Gtm
ney cloth, which is the India bagging, made ot
grass—by the act of 1542, Hemp bagging was
taxed 4 cents the square yard. You know, that
Hemp bagging is from 14 to 46 inches wide, say
45. and then one running yard, is square
yards, making the tax on each running yard
equal to 5 cents—that is, from 60 to 80 per
cent:—The tax on Gonney cloth or India
bagging of the same c*idth, which is equal to
Kentucky bagging, is 5 cents the square yard,
equal to 6± cents the running yard. This bag
ging costs not more than five cents, and the tax
therefore on it, is from 420 so 140 percent;
while the tax by the act of 1"846, is only 20 per
cent on Hempeml India bagging or Gunney cloth.
With all these articles, you arc well acquaint
ed. and it requires no argument, to prove the
beneficial effects, the act of 1846 xkrill bring to
yon in thus lessoning the price of the necessa
ries of life. I shall not occupy my time, and tax
v.'iir patience, iu trying to disprove the absurd
statement, that high duties make low prices.
The lachrymose wailings of the manufacturers,
the panic cry of ruin, and the threat of repeal ,
speak too loudly, that the reductions made by
the act of last session, will lessen the prices of
all these articles.
Another objection has been made to the act of
1846. bv our opponents —that it will not produce
rutTicirut revenue. If this be so, the monev that
i-* not collected, will rfct be lost. It will remain,
i:i the pockets of the people, and not in the jiurse
of the manufacturer; and what is not collected
the ensuing year can lie the year after, to sup
ply the deficiency. It is undeniable that the
revenue has been decreasing annually tinder the
act of
succeeding year and the surplus on doposite, is
not N great this year as in the years 1843-4 and 5.
Hut the objection is made at random, without any
reasonable data, on which to base the assertion,
and cannot be sustained. The committee, which
p asented the bill, believed it would produce suf
ficient revenue ; and the es imate of Mr. Walk
er, the Secretary of the Treasury, was more
than $28,000,000. to be raised by it Some ex
perienced meiehants made the estimate $30,-
tMO *KH>. and I have entire confidence, in their
The act of 1842, produced near
$ 16.000.0*0 by ad valorem duties, out of near
$2.000,0 ? collected under that act Admit,
what is alleged, that frauds were committed in
the ad mliirtm duties, and by those frauds, the
I*. States were cheated out of one-third or one
fourth of the revenue, and it only proves, that
ttt could have raised the same amount of reve
nue with ad valorem duties, one-third or one
touth leas than those actually imposed, when the
tesnptattior to commit fraud Would probably have
hren taken away. We are told of the expenses
of the war, and that the expenditures of the
government will be 50 or 60 millions this year.
I mill not pretend to dispute this—but only ask
it ai>v person is so foolish as to believe, or if it
ha* ever been known, that any government (with
in the last 100 years) has raised by taxes during
a mar, money to carry on that war 1 The can
did answer must be, they never have. All that
is asked, or ever attempted, is to raise money to
pay ordinary expenses, and to pay the interest
f the money borrowed to carry on the w ar.
This was not done daring the war with England
and that large debt was paid otf in less than 20
veaffe, during the administration of Gen. Jack
son ; and we exhibited to the nations of the
world, what they behetd with perfect astonish
ment—“A KiTiox OfT or Debt.”
It has been charged, as a bill for the protec
ted on of Foreign labor, and against “ American
Industry.” Those who made this, objection,
dare not make the explanation, and tell you it is
because it does not, protect American manufac
ture* atone, but carries out the great principles
• f the President, in extending protection to all
brandies ofindustrv. To agriculture, in the dti
t.e> imposed on Wool. FlaxsctrJ, and other arti
cks, grew nin the United States. To commerce,
in lessening the duties on Foreign merchandize,
that it may be imported. To navigation, in lessen
ing the duties on all articles necessary in the
construction and equipment of vessels and fur
nishing employment for them in transporting
merchandise from Foreign nations. To the me
chanic arts, in lessening the duties on all the tools
and implements of their respective trades, and
to manufacturers of all kinds, in imposing du
ties from 20 to 30 per cent, on all Foreign man
ufactures imported into the United States.
Ask your merchants from the towns of the
different counties, and they can tell you how
much coarse Cottons and Woollens have fallen
this season. While admitting the fact, they may
tell you there is an overstock of those articles,
and endeavor to induce tho belief that the fall
in the prices arises from that cause. There is
no doubt, too many goods made by our manu
facturers, which have been held up at high pri
ces in the belief that the act of 1842 would not
be modified. They could not believe that the
“ shibboleth ” of “ American industry’” had lost
its power—thjt the people, had at last found out
their true interest, and would enforce their rights ;
and, that the influence and money, of the mil
lionaire-owners of the factories, the lords of
the Forges, the Spindles and the Looms, had
lost their power. They did believe “ that mo
ney enough had gone to Washington to prevent
the passage of the new Tariff bill.’* But the
hill did pass, and the duties on those articles parti- ’
cularly, have been very much reduced, & are now
comparatively low, and so soon as the first day of
December arrives, large quantities, will be intro
duced into the United States, at prices, on which
fair ]>rofits will tie made, which will astonish
those not acquainted with the cheapness and fa
cility with which they can be manufactured.—
Hence the overstock, and not because there are
now more goods in this country than are suffi
cient to supply the demarfd. The bilj did pass,
and in its passage, we have great cause of con
gratulation. The interests of the masses, of
nineteen twentieths of the people has triumph
ed, over the cupidity and rapacity of the other
twentieth. ‘The day star has appeared—the
bright dawn of free trade, has illumined the East
and is spreading its effulgent rays over the Wes
tern world! The repeal of the Corn Laws in
England., has stricken the fatal blc*w tc protec
tion, and the passage of- the act of last session,
has established the principle of ad valurem duties,
and a Rkvkxpe Tariff. Undpr such duties,
all mdy know, how much is paid for the value,
and hove much to support the government
on the consumption of imported articles; and
that those duties, are imposed for the collection
of revenue, and the pro'ection afforded, must be
really incidental. That the act shall be what
the Constitution contemplated, and the title pre
tends “ an act to raise revenue for the sup
port of government,” and not fn act for the pro
tection of manufacturers.
As auxiliary to the Tariff kef; and for the pur
pose of enabling men of limited capital to engage
in the importing trade, a Bill for the establish
ment of the Ware-h.ouse system, was passed into
a law. By this act, Importers are permitted to
store their goods 12 months before they arc com
pelled to pay the duties. Before they are
taken out of the Warehouse the duties must
be paid in cash. Heretofore, all the duties had
to be paid when the goods were landed, and it
necessarily followed that only men of large mo
nied capital could pay some, one of two hun
dred thousand dollars in cash, with importations
of three or four hundred thousand dollars worth
of goods which could be purchased on credit.
Now-, the merchant of limited capital, and of
good character and credit, may purchase, his
go ds on time, bring them into the United States,
place them in the Ware-House, and when he
can make sales, pay the duty, take them out and
deliver them to the purchaser. Competition, is
the life ofbusiness in all trades, and when all
can enter into this business, the Importer must
be satisfied, with fair and reasonable profits. This
will induce the importation of more goods, the
collection of more r venue, and necessarily a
greater reduction in the Taxes for the benefit of
tli* people.
The last matter of legislation, to which your
attention is called, is the war with Mexico.
While our political opponents have lavished
abuse on Mr. Polk, for bringing on the w’ar, and
called it unjust, infamous and oppressive,
many of them v .te Jfor it, and few had the hardi
hood to vote “guiost the appropriations neces
sary for carrying it on. The President has
been censured for placing our troops on the banks
of the Rio Grande. It has been contended, that
the Nueces is the western lne of Texas, and
that he should net have permitted our Troops to
pass that river. I shall not now entgr into the
discussion, whether the Nueces or the Rio Grande
would have been established, had Mexico entered
into negotiations with us for that purpose, after
the annexation of Texas. It has been alleged,
that the war has grown- out of the annexation of
Texas, and this allegation is certainly more
consistent with the Mexican claim than that
which rests upon thfe banks of the Nueces.—
Those who did not blame the President for plac
ing the troops on the Nueces, and would cen
sure him, for removing them from that river to
the Ilio Grande, should recollect that Mexico
does not claim to the Nueces only, but to the
Sabine River ; and contests the right of annexa
tion, not of the whole, but of any part of Texas.
She insists that the whole of Texas from the
Sabi e to’ the Rio Grande, is aYi intcgrel part, a
province, a department of Mexico. .Her minis
ter at Washington entered his protest against
annexation, while the treaty was being consid
ered. and upon the passage of the resolutions in
1845 demanded his passports and retired from
that city. After Texas w’as annexed, and until
the boundary was settled by treaty with Mexico,
the President had only to look to the claims of
Texas. By the victory* ofSan Jafhito, she had
scaled her independence; end in the convention
with Santa Anna, the President and command
ing general of Mexico; the Rio Grande was
fixed as the western boundary of Texas, Bv
her constitution and laws, all the country East
of that River was declared to be within her terri
tory’, and she was admitted into the Union with
that boundary. A member’ es the convention
who framed her constitution came from that
part of the Territory*, between the Nueces and
the Rio Grande, and it was embraced in the
District now represented in Congress ; and the
President was bound to protect and defend all
the Territory of the United states. His duty
and his'oath of office required him to apply the
means within his power, necessary for that de
fence and protection ; and had he failed to have
done so, those who are now most clamorous
would have been loudest in their denunciations
of his weakness and imbecility. It was the
territory of the United Btates, and he would have
been recreant to his duty and the high Obliga
tions of his station if he had failed'to protect it;
he has not done so, and has proved to the world
that the moderation cf h!S councils i*Tonly equall
ed by the promptness, vigor & energy cf his actions.
Those who suppose that war was produced by
the position of the troops on the Rio Grande,
have read the history of Mexico and the United
States for the last twenty years to very little
purpose. Duriiig that period, Mexico his added
injury to injury in robbing our citizens and
making spoliations on our commerce, and if the
abuse, the blustering and bullying ol imbecility,
could have insulted us, ample cause for war has
long existed; and we have only escaped the
imputation of cowardice, from the impotency ot
Mexico. We have borne from her, what we
could not without indignity and disgrace, have
borne from Englahd'or France.
Our own minister as soon as Gen. Almonte,
the Mexican minister left Washington, deemed
it his duty to remove from the city of Mexico.
After a convention was formed and Mexico had
promised to jiay more than $2,000,000 indemui
ties for spoliations, she failed” to comply with her
treaty stipulations. When she had promised
to receive anew minister to settle by negotia
tions, the difficulties existing between us,
and Mr. Slidel was sent from the United States,
he was rejected with abuse and insult to his
country by Mexico; and finally her forces w ere
marched across the Fio Glrandc against the
American Troops. Americah blood was spilt
and some of our officers and men captured and
made prisoners. The cup of forbearance, which
was before full, now overflowed, and the victo
ries of Palo Alto and Resaca de las Palmas, plac
ed the Star Spangled Banner triumphantly upon
the soil of Mexico.
Much ban hcon and vvi* 1. no doubt he j?aid
about the cxpetlscsofttie war. Notwithstanding
this cry of expense,, and of the infamy, injustice
and oppression of the war, when thMPresident
communicated to Congress, near the close of the
session that it was probable it might be closed by
negotiation, and asked an appropriation of #2,000,-
000 to enable him to do so upon favorable terms;
Honest John Davis, a whig leader, took the
floor and refused to yield it,, and spoke till the
hour of adjournment arrived to defeat the ap
propriation, which the whigs would not do by a
direct vote; They are against War, and also
against Peace when the administration desires
either. While I deprecate extravagant expen
ditures for any purpose, this was with me a mat
ter of no consideration. As your representa
tive, I did not count the dollars and cents, when
the honor of our beloved country was involved.
I knew& I felt that you, one and all, were ready
to give your last dollar and “pour out your blood
like water” to protect and preserve her Honor,
and without hesitation, I gave my vote for that
war, and all the supplies necessary to conduct it
to a successful termination. All those measures
had not only my sanction, but my warmest and
most ardent support, and to you, by whom the
delegated trust was committed, most cheerfully
do I submit the decision on those measures. It
would beasource of deep regret to me, to have in
curred your censure, whilst your smiles of ap
proval will cheer the evening of my days. Hav
ing discharged a pleasing duty, I cannot take
my leave of you, at this time without the expres
sion of my sincere thanks and gratitude for
your kindness, in accceding to my wishes in the
selection of another to represent your interests;
and with the best wishes for your continued
prosperity and happiness, I subscribe myself your
obliged representative.

The undersigned have seen in the papers an
agreement between the candidates for Congress,
that neither of them will sanction an objection to
voters on the ground of non-payment of taxes.
We feel bound to make known to the tax-payers

quires, we shall perform our duty in holding the
tax collector to a rigid accountability. The coun
ty is not yet out of debt, and it is important that
all the taxes due to it shall be promptly collected.

OBITUARY.
Deceased in this city on the 7th inst., after a
long and painful illness, Mrs. Barbara Catharine
Epping. formerly of Savavnah, in the 23d year
of her age. Her amiable and respectful deport
ment had gained many friends during the short
period of her residence among us. Her affec
tionate disposition and transparency of character
endeared her in an unusual degree to her com
panions and associates. Persons of all ages and
of different denominations tendered their services
during her illness and crowded around the coffin
and the grave at her funeral. She was loved in
life, and lamented in death. By this sad event a
link in oiiY social circle is broken. A sweet
voice in the clioiY of our church is silenced. A
fond husband is widowed. But we sorrow not
like those who have no hope.
Beyond the flight of time,
Beyond the reign of death,
There purely is some blessed clime
Where life is not a breath;
Nor liles’ affections, transient fire
Whose sparks fly upward and expire.

PRESENTMENTS.
Os the Grand Jury of Marion County—Sep
tember Term, 1846.
The Grand Jurors chosen, sworn and selected
for the present Term of said Court, do make the
following presentments :
In as much as a critical examination of the re
cords kept by the Clerk O's the different Courts of
our county was made at the last Term of our
court, we have not thought it a matter of impor
tance to institute any examination of the same at
the present Term, especially as we have been
very much occupied with the other duties of the
Term both civil and criminal.
In relation to our public roads and bridges, we
are much gratified that there has been no com
plaint from any quarter, we believe they are gen
erally in a good condition; ,
Believing as we do, that the public interest o
our citizens generally, would be greatly promot
ed by not improving the public site lately select
ed for tire location of the Court House and other
public buildings, it is earnestly recommended by
this body, that the Inferior Court of this county
do not commence or attempt to build a Court
House or other public buildings until there can
be further action had before and by the next
Legislature on the subject, as by so doing they
would incur a debt which cannot now, by the
provisions of the act passed at the session of the
last Legislature, be legally met. ~,
We are the more inclined to this course, be
cause we do not believe that the action of the
last Legislature is agreeble to the wishes of a
majority of the citizens of this county ; we how
ever, approve of the action of the commissioners
in making a selection, as it will answer for the pre
sent and temporary purposes, until the free opin
ion of our people can be had again through our
members to the next Legislature, as to the proprie
ty ofa change ofpolicy on this perplexing question,
and therefore approve of the location made by
the Commissioners as it is convenient to the pub
lic offices and records ; they having been driven
to the necessity of such action as they have had
by the action of the Inferior Court.
We are sorry to say that there has been an unu
sual number cf indictments, presented to our
consideration at the present Term. This, we
regard as an. unfavorable index of the state of
the public morals. Yet, we are much gratified
to know that steps have been taken to arrest this
evil, and we do earnestly , recommend to the
civil officers and all lovers of good order to be
vigilant in enforcing the penal code and bring
offenders to punishment,“for the law is powerless
and a dead letter, if not” strictly enforced; eur
dearest rights and the perpetuations of ourcivil
and religious liberties depend upon a faithful dis
charge of duties in this respect.
We present Solomon Thompson and Madison
M. Welton and others for on the 31st
of May last, in this county a violent riot on the
Sabbath day, and that too, while returning from
church, to the general disturbance of many per
sons, such conduct ought not to be permitted to
pass unnoticed in a civil community. ..
Wc would further present John Joiner, John
M. Wilcharand Patrick Brady for gambling in
the Town of Tazewell, during the present term
of our Court, and also John G. Fletchor for keep
ing a gaming house.
In taking leave of his Honor Judge Alexander,
we tender him our thanks for the able and courte
ous manner in which he has discharged the re
-sponsible and important duties of his office at this
Term ofour court.
To Solicitor Campbell, we tender to haft, rbt
only our thanks for his courtesy to this bpdy, but
also for the energetic and fearless manner in
which he administers the Criminal Law in ferret
ing out crime, and bringing offenders before the
court for punishment. .. .
We request that so much of bur .presentments
as are of a public nature be published in the
Columbus Times and Enquirer.

HAMILTON FEMALE SEMINARY.”
THE citizens of Hamilton,
take great pleasure in announcing to Parents
residing in Harris and the adjoining counties,
who wish to have their daughters thoroughly in
structed, morally and intellectually, that they
have secured the services of Miss Mary A. and
Miss Amafda C. Wilson, for the ensuing scho
lastic year. In addition to the facilities usually
enjoyed at other institutions for the acquirement
of knowledge, the Hamilton Female Seminary
will afford many that are peculiar. Not the least
of these advantages, in the opinion of the sub
scribers, is that it will be under the exclusive con
trol of young ladies, who are sufficiently experi
enced, and who are deficient in no qualification
requisite to a faithful and judicious performahee
of the task they will Undertake. It will be ob
served by a glance at the list of studies pursued
in the different departments, that no useful branch
of education is omitted, - and that the pupils of
( this Seminary will have no cause to lament the
inadequacy cf the Course, fftit besides this, the
Misses Wilson have exhibited tq the subscribers
the most satisfactory testimonials of their exalted
moral worth, amiability of manners, and their
competency to impart a full knowledge ofthose
sciences included in the subjoined course ofin
struction. Parents who reason correctly Upon
the subject of education, will estimate very high-
I ly these Unrivaled advantages.

BARNES’ PILE LOTION.— This is to cor-,
tify, that in the year 1809, I ;,pras afflicted,
with a severe attack of the Piles, ard suffered to.
a great extent for a number of years ; at time*!
the protuberances were as large as walnuts, and,
confined me to my bed for fi@vc.ral weeks at.%
time. Since the year 1823 or ,’24, a change took,
place in the character of niy disease ; at that
time they changed from the -outward to the,
bleeding Piles. The discharges of blood in the,
last eight or ten years have, been so great as |q.
reduce me very much; at. times the bleeding has
been so great and of such long continuance, that
I have been compelled to use cloths saturated
with fine salt, to stop the blood.. I had an attack
of this kind during the laetjear, which was so se
vere that I almost fainted from the loss of blood.
Frequently after an evacuation of the bowels, it
has required a very considerable time, with the*
assistsnee of salt, ice, fcfe.* before I have been!
able to leave the place,’ I have tried almost eg- ;
ery prescription which has been recommenced
to me by friends, aud have had the best merjfcal
attendance, bnt with little or no effect; thd vio
lence of the disease appeard to set iheir skill st
defiance and the frequency of the attapkpand the,
extent of my suffering caused me to despair, of re;,
ceiving any permanent benefit. Sonic time ia
the month of August last, Mr. John.R.‘ S. Barnes,
bf Trenton, New Jersey, was informed of my
sufferings by Capt. liingle, of the steamboat New.
Philadelphia, and sent me a bottle of his Pile Lo-.
tion, which I used, and, to my great joy and sur
prise, it soon gave me relief. After using it lire,
or six weeks, the discharge of blood had stopod,.
and 1 discontinued its application. After some,
time had elapsed, the bleeding slightly recoin*,
menced, when Mr. Barnes sent me another.bop-,
tie, and having used it two or three .weeks, the
bleeding was again stopped ; and from that time
to the present, m.v health has continued to im
pro <e, and I nq w feel scarcely any inconvenience
horn the Pile?, and my general health is good.
I consider myself as cured, and my health re
stored by the use of this valuable remedy, and
cheerfully /Scorerr,ended it to all who are afflic
ted with this painful disease.
