The fact is easily proved—during that epoch the
planter got from ten to eighteen cents a pound fir
his cotton—well, he bought negroes at SIOOO to £ISOO
lands and all consumed in his family, at between two
and three times the price they now cost. The Car
penter could then sell his day’s labor—what, then !
he paid from five to six dollars for a hundred weight
of flour, he new gets it at two and a half—his bushel
of meal then cost a dollar and a quarter, now it costs
37 or 40 cents, so that the low wages he receives now,
represent as much of the comforts and conveniences
of life as his $3 a did formerly. The want of em
ployment and not the low wages, occasions the dis
tress of the working classes, and the scanty employ
ment results from the impoverished state of the coun
try, produced by a career, infatuated extravagance
and maddened speculation, stimulated by the thous
and stamped rag manufactories called Banks.
In that period of insanity, luxury and corruption,
the foreign debt of the States was augmented to the
tremendous aggregate of two hundred millions of
dollars, as we have shewn the excess of our imports
above the exports in our last number, all eaten, drunk
and worn out, and like the baseless fabric of the air
vision, left not a work behind —except an annual in
terest of tieclre millions of dollars, which is one of the
bribes Mr. Clay offers for the voles of the indebted
States in that detestable fraud, the American System.
In common honesty, each Slate should pay its own
interest, but if the General Government, assume the
State debts, Georgia, though owing but a trifle, will
have to pay her share of the whole twelve millions,
the additional tax on her would he at least £500,000.
Seeing it intimated that the present supposed low
prices, were the result of Clay’s Tariff. We have
thrown out these hasty remarks to obviate the illu
sion and excite attention to the subject. Had time
permitted, we should have been glad to have treated
it more methodically.
THE POLITICAL CANVASS IN MAINE
Is of the most active and spirited character, and
calls forth all the talent of the able editorial corps on
either side.
|jNo press conducts it with more ability, spirit and
wit, than the Editor of the Portland American.—
With such an advocate, our friend Kingsbury, as we
sec,he is called by the Democratic editorial corps, our
good cause must triumph. We fear not the result of
the rapidly coining co; flict. The election takes place
in a few days. Success to our friends. May Vic
tory perch upon their stamlaids.
THE TARIFF AGAIN.
Although at the request of many of our friends,
we have occupied much space ujion this subject, we
recur to it once more, to draw the public attention to
a most important development. Which is, that the
Courier ij- Enquirer, the most prominent Whig or
gan in the city of New York, has come out in favor
of an ad ralorum duty of twenty per cent. We make
the following extract from the Mercantile article of
the New York Herald of Sept' 10th.
“The existing tariff, is in our opinion, in very ma
ny of its provisions, too ultra lor any of the legiti
mate purposes which caused its adoption. * *
* « » * * ♦ We have
said before, anil we now repeat, that a tariff of twenty
per cent ad talorum on each and every article import
ed into the country, with the exception of woollens
and iron, would yield an abundance of revenue at
thesaine time that it would afford all the protection
that any interest in the country requires. Woollens
may require at present a protection of ticenty-Jire per
cent, and we would therefore, give it.”
How great must the evil be, when the most reck
less of the organs of the party which i nposed this
tariff, confesses that there is no resource, but to go
back to the lowest grade of the compromise act, viz:
a “horizontal” duty of 30 per cent. The present
tariff averages 35, 83 per cent, and woollens pay 50
per cent. The people have now ascertained, that
these duties must be cut down one half! Such is
ever the case when experiment is substituted for prin
ciple.
We should like to have some of the Democratic
leaders in Wdlkes county, who arc so bitter on the
subject of the Tariff of 1842, explain how it happens,
if that Tariff is so unreasonably high, and the con
sumer pays the duty, that the necessary articles con
sumed by farmers are lower in price than has ever
been known before in Washington. If they will
give us the explanation, our columns are open to
them.
We extract the above from the Washington News
and Gazette. We have no doubt that our friends in
Wilkes, can readily answer in reply, that all import
ed articles, (as well as land anil negroes,) have fallen
fifty per cent and many articles a great deal more,
among the operative causes, arc improved and cheap
er means of transportation, immensely increased pro
duction; the unparalleled contraction of the curren
cy and depression of business affairs in the country,
induced by the revulsion which has taken place in
the last few years, and through which we are now
dragging our slow strength along.
The price of Iron in that lime has fallen from fifty
five to sixty percent in England. The Gazette cer
tainly will not contend that imposing a duty of sixty
per cent on Iron has a tendency to reduce the^irice
Ol that article. Or that imposing a duty of one hun
dred arul sixty dollars on a hundred dollars worth of
sugar, or that a duty of one hundred dollars on salt,
has a tendency to reduce the price of either of these
aiticles. Without a shadow of a doubt all these
things would be vastly cheaper were it not for the
present unjust and oppressive Tariff. Negroes and
land have fallen to one third of thsir value, in 1836
and ’37, surely nobody will contend that the tariff
had any influence in producing this, other than its
general tendency to impair the means and impoverish
the people of the Southern States. We think it
would be just as proper to charge the tariff with the
reduction in the price of property as to say that it has
caused the diminution in the price of Salt, Sugar and
Iron.
WHIG INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT.
We accidenta'ly omitted to mention that this arti
cle in our paper of the week before last, should have
been credited to our able friend the editor of the
Constitutionalist, with the exception of a few lines
°f introduction.
Col. A. H. CruppKt.b has been nominated by the
higs, as theircandidate to fill the Congressional va-
Can<7 ‘ thc resignation of the Hon. John 13. Laiuar.
MR. CLAY’S WHIG TARIFF.
The extract following the clear and unanswerable
expositions of some of the enormities of the last tariff,
we copy from Mr. Burkes’ speech, lately published
in the Columbus Times. We recommend our read
ers to read and study carefully, the following extracts
relative to Woolen and Cotton Alanufactures, Sugar
and Salt, that they may see the outrageous manner
in which the consumers and producers of the whole
Union, but particularly of the South, are Ilobbed to
glut the cupidity of a few millionaire manufacturers.
Read and Rcjlect, and if you then choose to vote for
those who directly or indirectly support Air. Clay,
the great author of the protective system it is not our
fault. In our next we shall recur to the same speech
on the subject of Iron.
Manufactures of Woolen. —The amount of
woolen manufactures imported into this country in
the year ending September 30, 1840, was £6,226,630
The amount of duties on this sum,
at 40 per cent, would be £2,490,652
To the amount of duty, add 10 per
cent, upon the duly for the im
porter’s profits, and 20 per cent,
for the retailer’s, viz: 30 per
cent. 747,195
3,237,847
Thus the original cost of the article is increased
about 50 percent, when it reaches the consumer. It
increases the price of the domestic article in nearly
the satue proportion. Let us now see the amount
the people of this country pay on the whole quantity
consumed, in consequence of the duty imposed upon
the foreign artic.e.
According to the census tables, the whole value of
the manufacturers of woolen, in the year 1840,
was £20,696,999
50 per cent, added to that sum, in
consequence of the duty, which
increases the price to that
amount to the consumer, is £10,348,499
Add to this the duty on the im
ported article, and the profits
ol the metchant and retailer
upon that duty, amounting to 3,237,847
And the result is 13,586,346
which is the amount the people of this country have
to pay, in order to get £2,490,652 into the treasury.
But a still more striking result is exhibited in con
nexion with the
Cotton Manufactures. —The amount of cotton
goods imported in 1840. was £6,504,484
On which a duty is to be levied
of 30 per cent, ad valorem,
(the ellect of the minimum
valuation 1 do not consider,)
amounting to £1,951,315
To which are to be added the
profits of tile importer and
retailer on the duty, amount
ing to 585,303
2,536,648
which sum is 39 per cent, on the first cost, in conse
quence of the duty.
The value of the manufactures of cotton in this
country in 1840 was £46,350,453
The price of which will be in
creased to the consumer in
consequence of the duly,
33 per cent. amounting
in the whole to £18,076,670
To this add the duty on the im
ported fabrics, and the prof
its of the importer and retail
er on the duty 2,530,048
The sum of the whole is 20,613,324
Thus the people of this country pay the enormous
sum of £20,013,324 on the cotton fabrics they con
sume, in order to get £1,951,345 into the treasury.
The next article l will notice is sugar. The quan
tity imported into the country during the commercial
year of 18-10, of brown sugar, was 107,953,033 lbs.,
valued at £4,742,492, or 4cents per pound: of white,
clayed &c., 12,984, 552 lbs., valued at £838,458, or
six and a half cents per pound; making, in the
whole, 120,939,585 pounds. The bill from the Com
mittee of Ways and Means proposes to levy a duty of
tw o and a half cents per pound on brown sugar, four
cents on white, clayed, &c., and six cents on a loaf.
I make my estimates on the whole quantity at two
and a half cents per pound. The amount of duty on
120,939,585 pounds, at two and a half cents per lb.,
would be £3,023,489
To which add 30 per cent, for
profit on the duty to the im
porter and retailer 907,140
3.930,635 t
The quantity of sugar made in this country in the
year 1810, was 155,110,809 pounds; which, at the
cost of the foreign article at 4 cents per pound, would
be woith £0,204,432; which would be increased in
piice to the consumer two and a half cents per lb. by
the duty ; amounting, on the whole
quantity to £3,877,770
And 30 per cent, to be added
to this sum, tor the profits
of the manufacturer, mer
chant, and retailer, amount
ing to 1,103,331
5,041,101
To this add the amount of du
ty on the imported article,
and the profits of the im
porter and retailer on that
duty, viz: 3,930,035
8,971,730
Thus the sum of £8,971,736 will be paid by the
people of this country, in order to get £3,023,489 into
the treasury, on the article of sugar.
The next and last article 1 will notice is salt, so
important to every community, civilized and uncivil
ized. The number of bushels imported in the com
mercial year of 1840 was 8,183,426, at a cost of £l,-
015,426, or about 12 1-2 cents per bushel. The bill
from the Committee of Ways and Means proposes a
duly of 10 cents per bushel on all imported salt;
which, on the quantity imported in 1840, would
amount to £818,342.
Add 30 per cent, for profits to
the importer and retailer on
the duty, viz : 215,504
1,003,846
The cost of the quantity im
poited added 1,015,426
Would bring the whi ie t ost
to the cousttmcr at 2,075,27-
or a little less thin 25 cents per bushel. It in fart ;
costs the consumer a grc l deal mote. i”>u; t is is in
favor of my argument. I’h quantity un.iijt .lured
in this country in Lilt) was 6,179, 421 bushel- ; tin
value ut which, at the price of the foreign arte le, j
would be £772,378, which would be increased in
price to the consumer 10 cents on each bushel, or on
the whole quantity £617,942
To which add 30 per cent, for
the profits of the manufac
turer, merchant, and retailer,
viz: 165,382
803,324
To which sum add the a
mount of the duly, and
the profits of the importer
and retailer on the duty,
viz: 1,063,810
1,807,170
And we have the sum of £1,867.170 which the
people of this country must pay, in order to get
£818,342 into the treasury, on the article of salt.
Mr. Bu>ke then recapitulates the amount of trib
ute paid by the people to the manufacturers, upon
the articles of woolen and cotton manufacturers, Iron
and Salt. This unprincipled system of public rob
bery would most certainly in the end create a facto
ry nobility and convert tile rest of the people into
bearers of wood and drawers of water.
I now recapitulate these results, in order that they
may be seen at a single glance :
Amount ofdu- Actually paid by
ty paid to the the people to the
Articles. Government. Government and
the manufacturers.
Woolen manu. £2,490,052 £13,580,374
Cotton do. 1,951,345 20,013,324
Iron, pig 55,157 3,801,413
Iron, bar, rolled, 1,833,950 10,076,235
Sugar, 3,023,489 8,971,730
Salt, 818,342 1,867,170
£10,172905 £58,910,282
Thus it appears, by this calculation, that the peo
ple of this country pay the enormous sum of £58,-
910,282, in order to get £10,172,905 into the treasu
re, in the articles above enumerated. I am aware
that there should be some deduction made from the
amount actually paid, on account of the fact that the
foreign manufacturer bears a small portion of the in
creased duty, in the slight reduction he makes in
price, in order to get his gxxls into our market ; and,
also on account of the fact, that the domestic article
is valued at the piices in this country, and the foreign
at the prices they cost in the country whence import
ed. For these two considerations I allow £20,000.000;
which is sufficiently ample. The result, then, is, in
round numbers, that the people of this country actu
ally pay the astounding sum of thirty-nine millions
of dollars, in order to get ten milliions into the treas
ury, on the five articles above enumerated. Where
does the remaining twenty-nine millions, which the
Government does not get, go 1 It goes, sir, into the
pockets of the manufacturer, the merchant, and the re
tailer.
Thus the hard working and industrious population
of this county are compelled to pay the enormous
amount of thirty-nine millions of dollars, in order to
get ten millions into the treasury. Will the people
submit to this unprincipled system of spoliation long
er than next Congress. No, they will not. Millions
for defence but not a cent for Tribute.

JOHN RANDOLPH AND THE BULLY.
Mr. Randolph in one of his speeches, had cut so
deep in the sensibility of a certain editor, he vowed
that nothing but horsewhipping the aggressor could
heal his wounded honor—he accordingly, a few davs
after, (with several of his friends,) attended a public
meeting, and posted himself where Mr. R. was o
bliged to push through the crowd, on that gentle
man’s approach, the bully blocked up tile passage,
exclaiming—“ 1 nevet give way to ad and rascal.”
Randolph, in his blandest manner, I always do, pass
on sir. The hero of the horsewhip, perfectly crest
fallen, sneaked off, murmuring “ and n the fellow,
he always unmans me.”
John Randolph, after listening to a Kentucky
member, noted for shaving his antagonist in debate,
with the roughest kind of razor, turned to a friend
and observed, “ That man’s style of attack, reminds
me of a Butcher's knife sharpened on a brick!' 1

TO THE VOTERS IN THE DISTRICTS
OF 8188 COUNTY.
Fellow-Citizens : —Permit a plain man, one of
yourselves, to draw your attention to the different
manner in which you have been treated by the Dem
ocrats and the Whigs, as far as the appointment of
delegates to represent you in the next Legislature is
concerned.
The Democrats, instead of presuming to usurp
your right of selecting those you judged pioper to
represent you and express your will in the Slate
Legislature, appealed to eul’h precinct, to unite with
the Democracy of Macon, let the choice be made by
the majority of the whole—you responded manfully
to the call, and at a numerous and respectable meet
ing, the present Democratic Ticket was chosen, by
an unbiassed majority, nocaucausing, no conjmittee
ing, no cramming down the peoples throats, the
choice of a few; the present Democratic ticket is
therefore the choice of the democrats of every pre
cinct in the county, and will lie gallantly and tri
umphantly supported.
The Whigs transacted the business after an
other fashion, a small caucus of the wire pullers,
formed ?. ticket, as I am informed, a small body of the
Whigs of this place, assembled at the Court-House,
the Meeting called to order, the cut and dry, ready
made ticket, produced, announced, adopted by accla
mation, an oily tongued lawyer pronounced the Ju
bilalum, and the meeting adjourned sine die —the peo
ple, the while, knowing no more about the matter
than those in Jericho. Well, well, this is Whig
Republicanism—Whig respect for the rights and
opinions of the people.

Sir
Having seen in the last No. of your paper an arti
cle reflecting on the Editor of the American Demo
crat, as having treated practical pointers with disre
spect and illiberality Now we, the undersigned,
Practical Pi inters, who have been employed in the
office of the Democrat for several months past, de
clare the implied charges, and the insinuations, con
tained in Thompson’s paragraph in your paper, to be
in every particular, false and malicious. Dr. Green’s
conduct towards us, being in all respects gentleman
ly and liberal, we consider the paragraph insulting to
us, as it is dishonest and false respecting the Editor;
had it been true, we would have been basely deficient
in duty to ourselves, and our brethren of the craft, to
remain in the office, where both were mal-treated.
Notwithstanding the loss we have been conqielled
to submit to by the absconding of the Messrs. Thomp
son in our debt, (lo the amount of £152 50. for work
done for them) we should have taken no further no
tice of them; but as it has been forced upon us, we
have a few words to say to them at this time:
Briefly, then, we would merely caution W. A. not
to piovoke us to publish “A Sketch of Bill Thomp
son’s Travels and Adventures in Alabama, with an
Appendix, containing his, and his brother Charley's
transactions, while in this city, accompanied by legal
authentications.”

By the sclir. Amazon, which arrived
here from Vera Cruz yesterday evening - ,
we have received our files of papers from
the city of Mexico, to the 19th August.
By a decree of the 14th August, the
list of articles, the importation of which
has been prohibited, is increased to an
enormous extent. The Courier Francais
gives the general features of this ordi
nance. Carriages, cabs, and every spe
cies of foreign vehicles; harness, hats,
furniture, pianos, dolls and toys; gold,
silver, copper, gilt and plated manufac
tures ; iron and steel do.; tin and zinc
do.; are all prohibited under penalty of
confiscation.
The ordinance goes into force four
months after its publication in the capi
tal, in respect to cargoes arriving at ports
on the Gulf of Mexico, and six months
after, in respect to those arriving in ports
on the Pacific, Gulf of California and
and California Sea.
One year is given for the removal of
tire goods included in this prohibitory
decree and now in Mexico, after which
period they will be confiscated.
The exclusion shall not apply to the
privileges granted tor the exercise of any
profession or business carried on by for
eigners in the Republic.
Since penning the above, we have re
ceived intelligence announcing that the
primary elections for Congress had taken
place, and in all the departments heard
from up to the 22d ult. the Santa Anna
party was shortly expected at Manga de
Clavo, his hacienda near Vera Cruz,
where it was believed he would make
his arrangements for the overthrow of
this Congress.
The law prohibiting the importafion
of various articles hitherto allowed, is
looked upon by the mercantile commu
nity in \era Cruz, and throughout Mex- j
ico, with great dissatisfaction.

They are particularly recommended to all those
persons who are afflicted with any kind of Chronic or
Lingering Complaint, aa there is no medicine before
the public which has so natural and happy effect up
on the system in correcting the stomach a-d liver
and to the formation of healthy chyle and thereby
purifying the blood. '
iti -y are acknowledged by the hundreds and
thousands who are Using them, to be not only the
most m l i ami p c i-nut in their operation, but the

soon as the headache is felt coming on, will cure it
in one half hour entirely.
Asa remedy in Summer and Bowel Complaints,
they display their wonderful powers to admiration,
and are far superior to any thing in use tor these
complaints.

rivalled. Many have been cured in a few weeks,
after having suffered under the dreadful complaint
for years. ,
In Habitual Costiveness, they are decidedly supe

which females alone are subject.

clear the system of bad humors, quiet nervous irra
tability, and invariably produce sound health.

and Boxes of these inestimable Pills have been sold
within the last twelve months in three States alone,
and more than three times die same quantity in oth
er States.
As an Anti-Billious Medicine, no family should be

August 17,1842. $
This is to certify, that I have been afflicted with
Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint,
and Costiveness for the last eight or nine years, du
ring which time I had taken, as well as I recollect,
about sixty boxes of Beckwith’s Pills, twelve boxes
ol Peters’ Pills, and a number of boxes of Champion’s
and Brandreth’s Pills, all of which afforded me but
little or no relief. At last, I was recommended to
try Dr. Spencer's Vegetable Pills, and well I did; for
Inever had but one attack of the Sick Headache af
ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about six
months) and 1 candidly confess, that I have derived
more real benefit front the use of Spencer’s Pills,
than from all the other Medicine sand Pills that I
have ever taken, and I would earnestly recommend
them to all, as being in my opinion, the best medi
cine in use fur all lingering complaints. The Pills
have done me so much good, that I would nut feel
willing to be without them for five dollars a box; and
I caunot but feel very grateful to Dr. Spencer for
having prepared such a valuable medicine, and the
distribution of it is conferring a very great favor on
the public, as it is a thing of the utmost importance
that every family should have a supply of Dr. Spcu
cer’s truly valuable Pills constantly on hand.

This is to certify, that I have used Dr. Spencer's
Vegetable Pills in my family for the last six months,
and I consider them the best Pills I ever used. I
was appointed an agent for the sale of them about
six months ago, at which time the travelling agent
left me about one hundred boxes, and I have sold
out every box long since, and could have sold as
many more if they had been left. I think every
family should keep a supply always on hand. I have
neversold any Pills in my store that have been liked
so well as Spencer’s Vegetable Pills.
ADAM RISER.
[From a very respectable Planter in Washington.

Washington Cos., Ala., March 8, 1843.
To Dr. Spencer :
Dear Sir—l have used your Vegetable Pills in my
family the list year with great success, and I consid
er them the best Pill I ever used. I have made con
siderable use of many other popular Pills, but I atn
convinced that yours are superior to any of them.
For Sick Headache, they are an excellent medicine.
For Bowel Complaint, I think them the best medi
cine in the world, and also for the Bloody minx. I
can say to you that I made great use of them last
season. I had twenty of my blacks sick with the
Flux, and I administered your Pills freely, and I did
not loose a single case. My neighbors speak in the
highest terms of them. Respectfully yours,
JESSE JORDAN.

IMPORTANT CAUTION
A PROCLAMATION.
To the Citizens af Georgia:
WHEREAS, for several years past, the good IVc
ple of this Slate have been gToatly, and very ser -
ously imposed upon in times of suffering and sick
ness, by being 1 obliged to pay the enormous price of
One Dollar and Fifty Cenls for a Box of PILLS, or
a Bottle of MIXTURE , to cure CHILLS AND
FEVERS , and other distressing complaints : Now
therefore, know ye, that an effectual means of relief
have been discovered in Dll. HULL'S VEGET
ABLE FEVER and AGUE, and AXTI-FEVER
PILLS; which are offered by the Proprietors and
■their Agent® at the low price of only One Dollar per
Box —from 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper than the majori
ty of all other medicines for the cuie of such com
plaints; and as to the comparative safety with which
they can be taken, together with the simplicity of
their cornponent|parts'(\vliich are entirety vegetable)
and the real value of Hull’s Pills, as adapted to the
wants of the community, there can be no longer the
least doubt of their great superiority over ail other
medicines, not only in their superior properties in
the safe and speedy cure of Chilis and Fevers, but
also as a remedy in Fevers of every description.
It is particularly worthy of remark, that out of up
wards of Twenty Thousand Boxes of these Pills sold
in Alabama alone, within the last twelve mont'is, not
a single case has come to the knowledge of the pro
prietors, where they have failed to cure the Chills
and Fevers, when they have been used according to
the directions accompanying them. And besides
these pills are no “qnack medicine;” they arc the
scientific preparation of experienced medical men,
who, after having prepared this important recipe,
most positively declared that from all the discoveries
up to the present time, in medical science, they saw
no way by which they could possibly be improved, or
made in any way more effectual in the cure of those
complaims for which they are recommended : so that
the happy ■ nmMtnti m of the ingredients and their
proportions ; ■ snob as to produce a medicine which
never fails to relieve wheu relief is at all attainable.
Upwards of one thousand certificates might here be
added, of imp >rs ; i tires effected by this medicine j
but it is no n oy to publish them, as a single
trial of the Pah is i, . e satisfactory evidence than a
volume of pri:! 1 and testimonials. We would, howev
er, refer tint 1 j 1 ,• to some eight or ten thousan
families in this Bta e, who it is thought have experi
enced their i Hi. acy, and who would bear ample tes
timony of ihcir uiirivailed virtues.
