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. “RIP RAPS.” This able, powerful and brilliant political writer, ha written another letter to the Editor of Ihe Peters burg Republican, if possible more convincing in ar gument and brilliant in illustration than either of his previous letters. Rip Raps st-eems to be a true de scendant of the Old Virginia Democratic Republican School of'9B; with all the forcible reasoning and the fine, chivalrous, gentlemanly bearing that distinguish ed that School of patriots, and statesmen, ia the time of John Taylor of Caroline. CHEROKEE. We see that our friends of the Cherokee Advo cate, the Rome Sentinel, the Cassville Pioneer, and the Dahlonega Times, are conducting the present canvass in the most active and energetic manner. From the intelligence derived from these spirited Journals, we have liltledouht that we shall not only maintain our Democratic ascendancy in the Chero kee country, but increase our majorities in every sec tion of it. The far-famed “ Hero of Taliaferro” seems not to have been so successful in his gladiatorial conflicts with Messrs. Styles and Cohen, as the Jubilations ot the Whig press would have induced us to believe. 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 CHAMBERS HERALD. Is the title of anew democratic Journal, published at LaFayette, Chambers Cos Ala., of which we have received the first number. It is an advocate of the nomination of our unrivalled patriot and statesman John C. Calhoun. The Herald is handsomely print ed, and promises to be an able advocate of Democrat ic Republican principles—Subscription 53,50 payable in advance. Bones of Black Hawk.— The Edi tor of the Burlington (Iowa) Hawkeye, states that the remains of Black Hawk were stolen, and Governor Lttcas made a requisition for them in behalf of the wid ow and children of the o and brave, and found them in the hands of an anatomist at Quincy, well cleaned and ready to be wired. They are still in Burlington, though it was the desire and expectation of the family that they should be depos ited in the Builington burial ground. I We have noticed a communication in the San. dcrsiille Telescope signed “ W. A. Thompson,” ad dressed to the Editor of the Am. Democrat. In jus tice to this individual, we state, that having taken no pains to ascertain the fact, we at present are acquaint ed with no instance in which either W. A. or C. Thompson have attempted to collect the dues of this establishment since their connexion with it termina ted. The object of our “Caution” was to prevent any such occurrence. But from all we know of them, and all we have heard of them, we believed it to lie our duty to our subscribers and ourselves to publish the “Caution.” [for the American Democrat.] 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. HOMESPUN. [for THE AMERIGAN DEMOCRAT.] To the Editor of the Little Georgian ; 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.” W.

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. VY e learn that 17 of the Perote prison-. ers have made their escape, and orders , have been forwarded to the various sea i ports in Mexico, to have every vessel that leaves strictly searched.— Bee.

Thomas, Mer chant, at Talladega Springs, Alabama.] Talladega Springs, Talladega Cos. Ala. ) 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. ISAAC M. THOMAS. [From Mr. Adam Riser, a popular Merchant in Talla dega County, Alabama.] Risek’s Stoke, Talladega Cos., Ala. ) August 16, 1842. ) 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. County, Alabama.] 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. J. DARBY, Sec’y. 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. 23= For Sale by J. 11. $• W.
