that, because 1 supported protection in
1624,1 am bound to advocate pnmibitioii
in 18*27 ? Did m.V course then compel me
now, in order to be consistent, to vote for
crude and undigested measure which
mar be proposed, merely because it iscul-
fo,Yn tariff? Certainly not.

effectually prohibit the importation of
nearly all the woollen goods in common
use. whose value, at the place of export'll*
(ion, shall uul exceed three dollars and fif
ty cents per yard. it embraces peculiar
ly vvitliill its grasp, those articles worn bv
ilie poor mid middle classes of society.
•> ,\ s a I’cprosentntive of Pcnnsv Ivania,
a I'rienil to the tariff, and feeling a deep
interest in its popularity, I can never look
on with indilTcrence at tiie passage of a bill
which will at once prohibit the importati
on of foreign woollens ; mueli less can 1
do so when that bill contains no provisi
ons calculated to protect tint suffering do
mestic industry of my own State.”
Mr. Hamilton, of S. Carolina, complain
c,| diat the House and tiio country wore
ttoken by surprise. He added —
“ After the passage ol the tariff of 1821.
iihe People, Ht least from that section <>l
country from which I came, supposed th.it
they were to have a respite ami repose for
fsev. ral years from the agitations of this
vexatious and disgusting topic, flat it
seems that this blessed compromise has
net brought peace & security, and wo were
agon to be thrown iuto commotion and
combat. The chairman of the cummin* e
on Manufactures consoles us with an ac
count of the number of thriving villages
•dial have been built, and may be built, by
what be is pleased to call even a partial
protection of the woollen manufacturers
of the country. Yes, sir, these villages
have been built at our expense, bv a duly
oi forty-five to sixty-five per cent, on the
aggregate”consumption of the country.—
ftlie sum is easily worked, sir: If you will
levy a tax of five dollars on the coat, waist
coat and pantaloons of every poor man in
<he country, and carry the fruits of this
Imposition to the banks of Jtm Connecti
cut or Merrimack, villages, of course, will
spring up, without number, although
thousands at ii distance are, in want and
.misery, compelled to contribute to these
i line creations.”
This hill (said Mr. Stevenson, of V a.)
disguise it us you will, is most obnoxious
land unjust. It was infinitely more so than
jibe one of 1824, under which the Soul hern
j ot South-western country were now bleed
ing at every pore. Could gentlemen Hope
[fa drivfe on by detachment this proteel-
|«g-duty policy, to the utter ruin of the o-
ter interests of the countiy, and expect
opposition ? It was impossible t It
was m vain to preach up conciliation il
this fatal policy, this political colossus,
Which is to overshadow and reduce a por
tion of us to beggary, is to ha persevered
|n nml adhered to. It must beget divisi-
>o oml hatred, and interrupt the harmony
fail peace ufthe Union.”
Mr. JlPLant, of Delaware, remarked
“ Although lie was, and ever had been
kn advocate for the tariff system, be was
[ot prepared to say that lie could voto for
tia bill in its present shape, although lie
ray prepared to co-operate in modifying
bid improving it.”
Mr. Camlreling, of New-York, said—
n As to the present bill, 1 say boldly,
tat it is a fraud on the Committee of
laaufactures. They come into the
.-e proposing to protect the revenue,
ad bring a bill which destroys tho reve
ille,and throws ns upon an ocean of sqio-
Vlation. The House has not yet acted
i any of the great subjects which lie he
re it. It. has not touched the bankrupt
111. Jl has done nothing- on the West
pdia question. It lias passed none of the
ppropriation• bills ; and it is now asked
i occupy the residue of the session on a
kliject, which, I will venture to say, no
|an in tiie United States ever expected to
[discussed by this Congress. The gen-
[man fi.om Delaware says, that tho city
| New-York is well informed as io w hat
• are doing and have done in relation to
lb* matter j lor one, I have written a
limber of letters to that city, requesting
formation on the topics of the bill, and I
k'e bad time to receive but one letter ill
i'ly.”
The very discussion of the subject has
famous effect. If this debate go on for
v.eclc, speculations will take place in
■lieu goods tq the amount of millions
[dollai s. Tim object of the bill is prolii-
fiou—nor js there any thing in the bill,
|lu'r in its form or substance, wliirh will
[■rate to ensure the collection of the re-
lime. It goes on the other baud to ati-
date the revenue.
1“ I consider the present hill as the most
piiiidable inetieuiK of the kuid ilpitwas

duties n(*<4no hiimirej, dYn? rule hftntfitjlT
and fifty per cent, t#n a large part ol all the
woollen goods which now lorin the sub
ject of commerce, l earnestly hope the
muiion to discharge the committee will
prevail.”
<• i tho day following the subject wits
resumed, when, after a long debate, the
motion to discharge the Committee of the
Whole from the consideration of the bill
respecting H'nollenr, was negatived by n
vote of 112 to 76.
When the discussion of this bill wits re
sumed on h subsequent day (Iflltli Jknunrv )
Mr. Vluifmvnc declared utr Ins opinion that
the vital interests of the country required
its prompt rejection, hi relation to the
agriculture of the South, lie Contended
that Sliuh was the depressed condition uf
the murkets for tobacco and cotton, that |t
was extremely dilfn-ult for those engaged
in it to get along. Tho profits oftlio mer
chant were small, and the .situation of
trade was very alarming. Is this then a
proper time to venture on the ore:ui ol
experiment? He contended that it was
not. Me was opposed to tint bill, heenusa
he considered it as unequal in its uperaii-
on ; because it presses down olio part ot
the community, without uffectiug the o-
ther. And, again, he was opposed to it
because it introduced u policy mole destruc
tive to human happiness than any other.
Mr. Mitchell, of S. U. said, after every
investigation which hp Imd been able to
give the subject, lie could not understand
it. We find woollen goods imported by
our merchant at an advantage over the fo
reign merchant of (55 percent. The Hri.
j itsli merchant, when lie opens his goods
in New-York or Baltimore, starts against
the American merchant with a load of US'
per cent. This in tint all. The British
manufacturer then imports his wool; he
pay s a duty on it in England ; lie is then,
inevory process of the manufacture, taxed
by government. The American govern-
in nit imposes no taxes on the manufactu
re! ; tho farmer will give him a bodes to
take bis wool. Yet with all these mlvuii-
tapes, wc are told that the American ma
nufacturer cannot rival the British manu
facturer. Tins is a most extraordinary
fact; and if any thing could show that we
could not g> further in this system of pro
tection, the arguments of the friends of
tin- bill -how it. ffany brunch of industry
is so conducted that, to exclude from
•'tunpetition w-n must impose a duty of
from 250 to 300 per cent, it is not worth
protecting ; hut he would any be believed
that a great deal of the distress presented,
was affected, and consisted in the fact
that they now only obtain a profit often.,
instead of a profit of 25 per rout Tnat is
the circumstance of which they complain.
He had conversed with a most intelligent
planter, some time since, who said he
could not make both ends meet, unless
cotton would bring him fourteen cents in
Charleston—that was the point of zero :
yet lie was then selling it at 0 cents. lie
was therefore sinking 7 1-2 per cent, when
11 jier cent, was necessary to support his
family. How, (said Mr. M.) will tills bill
operate on tlio physical force of the 24
States ? How will it bear on tlioso who
dig the earth, who navigate our ships, who
build our fortifications, who man our na
vy, all of whom are peculiarly entitled to
the fostering care of the goveTi’.ment. —
Tho poor man must pay a duty of 200 per
cent, on the cloth lie wears. This is paid
i'or the advantage of a few capitalists.
How many individuals own the forty
millions embarked in manufactures ? —
Not more than 500, ornfmost 1900. The
question is between these 1000 capitalists
and the residue of the United States. You
impose taxes on the poor, while the rich
are exempt iti proportion to-the fineness of
their apparel. While a certain descripti
on of cloth pays 50 per cent, if it is higher
than 40 ctjttts; the first most pliant and
most indicative of opulence, pays 331-3;
while the poor man at the plough pays200
per cent. Thus the law is unjust in its
operation. He would oppose every bill
which operated unequally, for it was the
birthright of every citizen to he equal.' -
He hud shown the cotton-planter did not
receive, by > r >0 per cent, enough to main
tain his family. If you make laws for
one, you must make them for all. He had
endeavored to tdtbvv this policy was differ
ent from that of uur ancestors.

to wit:
“ A. B. SOCIETY HOUSE,
New Void, 25th September, Isgfi.
George U'. Werner, Km; ;
Dear Sin—Yoar letter undertime ofjnne 9th,
came to Iinnit in due time., nml hits linen laid tic-
fore the managers of the institution. The reso
lution of the Hoard of Managers of the Morgan
Comity Auxiliary Bible Society, nnrtiely. “that
in the opinion ot’ the Hoard, an animal Conven
tion of Delegates from all tlie County Auxiliary
Hitile Societies in the State, would essentially
contribute to the prosperity and usefulness of
these, institutions,” appears io the managers of
the Parent Institution, an important resolution;
and they wish to express to you their earnest
desire, thnt it may be carried into effect.—
Nothing creates such efficiency among any com
binations of men, as union — union in feelings
and action; and nothing can be better calculat
ed than the Convention proposed, to produce
such union. Delegates coming together from
different pnrts ofthe Slate will he able to in
struct each other as to the best modes of early-
ing into operation the designs of the Society, as
they will learn where their efforts are most need-
ed, ivheie they can obtain new helps, and how
they can best allav sectional and paity prejudi
ces. There seems to be (lie same propriety in
convening occasionally, the members of a religi
ous institution, that there is in convening a State
or Congressional Legislature. VVtmt Slate
would long act imderstaiidingly anti efficiently
in Hie management of public affairs, il* they were
to assemble only ill counties, with no great legis
lative bond to unite them t Should il he said
that such a Convention of Bible Societies will
cost time, and labor, and expence, 1 w ill say, ad
mit it—and will say too, that the cause .deserves
it. If it is important that three millions of desii-
tute countrymen should be supplied with the Bi
ble, and that provision should he making for the
half a million of annuel increase which our po
pulation gives; and ifit is important t hut sixteen
million* of South Americans, lung oppressed,
shobld be supplied with the Bible: if ibcse con
siderations arc of consequence, then it is proper
that there should be Conventions, and labors,
and prayers, and tears, and every species nt et-
fort to carry iuto effect the designs of our Bible
institutions.
“ By such a ejinventioii as is contemplated
bv your icsnlulion, the managers hope, thnt
besides its utility to Georgia, its example will
reach other States and cause them to do like
wise. There is a tendency in most ol our Auxi
liaries to lose their first v.eal, to'languish more
nud more, and sometimes expire. Any mea
sures, therefore, which go to counteract lids
tendency, arc always noticed with pleasure try
the managers of the Parent Sueicty. Ihry
have thus noticed, as has been s lid, tiie resolu
tion of vour Society ; and they hope, ere long
to hear that such a convention lias been held ;
that its effect was good among yourselves ; and
that it prompted many other States to Imitate
vour example. Thnt your labors in the Bible
cause may be abundant, and that you may, ill
Divine blessings, lie rewarded tor them all, is
the wish and prayer of our managers, aud ot

Afore Indian outrages.~-Tlie intelligence
which we give, below, has not corno to us
through a direct channel, but hears so far
the slump of authenticity that we venture
to give it, not merely as report. A man,
df whoso name we are not liilormed, had
taken up Ins residence with his family,
consisting of a wife and four or live chit
dren beyond the Flint riv«r, opposite Pike
county. A few days since, in his absolute,
his children were all murdered hy tho lu
(liana, in a most barbarous inuirtter.—
Splinters of light wood (according to their
most refined manner of torturing victims,-)
were stuck into their llesli and then set on
tiro, hy which means they were burnt to
death. Their mother was attempted to
lie murdered in a manner equally Imrritl.
and probably left for dead. Her husband
soon after returned, found her alive, and
conveyed her across the river into l ike
county where she was living at tlm. date
of our information, hut without hope ol
recovering.. We have not obtained imj
further parfietdars, nr hoard any reason
assigned for tire outrage, or ny what Indi
ans it vvas committed.—Messenger.

reported murders, we conclude that mull
ing'of tlm kind bus happened.]— Ed. liic.
