In the year 1748,(21 of George II.) abounty
of six-pence on till-pound of PinniHtimi In
digo, when it was worth thru* fourths on
the price of tin- best French Indigo, was
granted bv the Bnii-li Parliament, this in

From the above statement of the rise and

rate to the injury of the manutacturcr.
I'll 1st opinion is suslained by tho following
remarks of Alexander Hamilton, in nis re
port ou Manufactures'll 1790:
“Bounties are aomeiun s not only the
best, liui the only proper expedient, for uni
titi£ tho encoiii.igeitie.iil of a new nhjoc.t ol
agriculture. L ia the interes! of itie far
mer to have the proiliicliun of the raw ma
teria! promoted, liy counteracting tho inter
feriMico of the foreigu iiiaterinl of the hmiii«
kind ; it is the interest of the manufacture
to have ilia material abundant and cheap.
If prior to the domestic production of the
oiuteriul, in sufficient quantity, to supply tn
manufacturer ou good terms, a duty bo 1*6
upou the importation of it from abroad, w iiii
a view to promote the raising of it at home
the interest boihvif the manufacturer ami
the fanner will be dissevered B, eitliei
destroying the requisite supply, or raising
the price of .the article, beyond wliat can be
afforded to lie given for it, by iho conductor
uf an infirm manufacture, it is abandoned
or fails; and there being no domemic miniu
factories, to create n demand for tlie ruw
material, whhtb is raised by tin* farmer, it is
iu vniu iliut tbo conipelitiou of tlie like fo
reign articles muy have been deeiruyed.
“ The true wav to conciliate these two in
toresis, is to tap a duty on foreign uianufitr
tures of the material, the growth of which
s desired to be encouraged, and to apply the
produce of that duly by way of bounty, either
upon the production of the material itself,
nr upon its manufacture tit home, or upo
both. In this clispog'lion uf the tiling, the
manufacturer commences bis enterprise, un
*ler every advantage, which is attainable ns
lo quantity or price of ibe ravv material
end the farmer, if the bounty be immediate
ly given in him, is enabled by it to euter into
a successful competition with the foreign
material.
“ There'is no purpose to which public mo
ney can he more beneficially applied than
to the ai-qui-dtioii of a new ami useful branch
of industry ; no consideration more valua
ble than a permanent addition lo the general
stock of productive labor!”
In conclusion of this part of the subject,
your Committee would allude to ihe exam
pie uf ibe British government. It hus been
seen that when ibe Southern Hiates were
British Colonies, Ihe Government eneour
aged the growth of Indigo by a^bounty ol
six-pence sterling per pound. Every arti
cle of foreign growth used in their maun
faruires,il has always been the policy of the
nation to admit at a low rate of duty. Ac
cordingly we find by the British Tariff ol
|gl9_lii,|igo paid a duty of 5d. sterling on
ly. *.r about nine cents per pound.
The Tables of Exports and Imports of In
digo for several years, annexed to this report
will exhibit the importance of this article to
our commercial interests. Indeed, it has
been shown that the importation of this ar
ticle with other dye stuffs and the oil requir

from the imports, in the year 1820, the a-
mount left for homo Consumption will be
found to exceed 800,000 pounds, part of
which may have been afterwards exported.
Vnd as the amount of Domestic Indigo pro
duced cannot probably be estimated at over
50 000 pounds, we consider it lair to suite
ibe present annual consumption of Indigo
in i he United Hi Meant about 800,000 pounds,

T'qe New-York papers are filled with statements

oned by nis appearance in New-YoVk, under cir-
ruraslnnces evincing the perpetration of one nf
the most tiigh-handed and illegal measures on rn-

less increased by the suspicion, perhaps not well
founded, that the British Consul had connived nt
ids se'zure, and deportation from Savannah, with
Ihe intention of sending him eland,'stwujy to Eng

at least shared the fute (hey deserved. Instead of
lingering the large reward which wos to gratify
their cupidity and compensate for the violation of

said the thousand pounds could not be paid Unless

Mr. Adams' Correspondents continue!* to
attrnci the attention ef the newspapers—
By far the greater part of the.papers that
most zealously supported him for the Presi

verity of reproach. They not only brand
him as a false accuser hut repeat the old
charge against him, that ha deserted his paf

with respect to the federal party, he had
said of them years ago nnd that publicly

A hill has been passed hy the legislature
of Louisiana, which forbids nny person to
bring into that State nny slaves, with the in

owner or the person carrying them shall also
bring with them n rertifienta for each slave
above n certain age, signed hy two or more
freeholders of the County from which thpy
are brought, that the said slaves, (dascrihin
them most particularly,)ltave not been gmltv
or convicted of ony crimes, but have born
a good moral character. This rcrtificnto is

precautions for identifying the slaves. Any
of the citizens of Louisiana, who shall intro
duce nny slaves for hia own use, ahull, bring
tbo same kind of certificate of moral char
acter and pood behavior. No persons emi-'
(rating with the bona fide intention of set-

sell any of their slaves Until tho expiration
of 2 years—and these tacts nre lo he nn

A penalty nf $ 1.000 is to he levied for a

A decision hns been made ir* the Court
of Appeals of South Cuoltna, akin to lliftj
f Ju 'pe Davies, which we published a few
days since, relative lo liability of Justices
of the Inferior Court to perform milt'ia du
tv. Ih the Court in South-Carolina, the
rase was that of the Hon. Wm. Johnson,
if the Supreme Court of the United States,
who claimed by virtue of llis office, to b
exempt front the fierfiirniaiiee of patrol duty
imposed by the State l,i w; and the rule ns
laid down hy tho Court wns, that when
pqual but conflicting public duties are im
posed upon art individual, he hns the right
of solccting the performance of either, and
that a paramount duly absolves from tlx
performance of tin inferior one. Iu nppli
ration to tbo Judge, therefore, his official
obligations arc considered to supercede his
obedience to a Statu enactment w hich is in
consistent or interfering with their perform

by Judge ColcOck.—Sov. Georgian.

Upson County, Go. 19th Feb. 1829.
His Excellency John Eortylh;
Sin—Oh die evening of the 16th insT. a mastf
xviltul and Atrocious milder wus perpetrated on that
body of Mr. Jethro Jackson, a most worthy anil
respectable citizen ot this county, byacertuin Fid*'
lip Hiillo.\,o( imd county, on the road leading Iron*'
Tlioinastoh to Kendal's Mills. Mr. Jackson w ua
returning I’l-oiii Ins son’s residence iu Merivi tther
county, end met with said Haltox in ’ihoiaastoii.
und residing in die vicinity of each other, they ana
i,titers rode together towards hmna, and on tiielt
way Iluttox dragged him off irora his horse on tha
public road and beat him cruelly, and in the act ot
be ny rescued by a gentleman ill com; uny, lie stuck
lii.it in die forehead witli a rock, winch produced^
u.niost instantaneous death, having only lingered
la.'t a few hours niter—said Hutto* having prcvV
ously threatened to murder him and si me offers.
This Mr. llutox is a man of u most turbulent and
desperate character. It is hut little over twelve
months since he dirked or stubbed a citizen of Lay
ette county, whose liie was despaired of, but baa
survived his wounds. Iu that instance he escaped
tl,« just punishment of Ihe law, by piiyingacotisiunp-
utile amount of money to the injured party. Tbo
instances are numerous in which he lias hefetnioro
been guilty of the violations oi the law, nnd whichf
have been overlooked hy those who were mot*
iimuediatoly concerned.
Suitable' picrtionc have been used to bring him
to justice in this recent (ra’iisaction, but be has thu*
far eluded nil search, and we know of no other
moans by which he can now lie brought to justice^
but through the interference of your Executive hus
thority. This, Sir, is a case ol the deepest dye,
and tho murder lias been wilful (ami from all tho
circumstances ol the CRsetbus far developed) de
signed. The respectability of his family and con
nexions in this aitd the adjoining county, (us w ell
us the citizens of Upson county) cutis loudly that
lie should be brought to justice. As a further
proof of the feeling evinced on tills occasion, tit*
accompanying document will satisfy your Excel
lency of the enormity of the man’s guilt— Th#
near connexions oi the deceased, have thought fif
to offer the suui of Five itended Dollars as an ad
ditional reward fo an
