;ves and children of the Tartar troops | General Hamilton declares himself, to hold
north, who sacrificed themselves, when | an undefined position—that "the embers of
the day against them ; and besides j party spirit are extinguished” in his bosom—
that he is neither Democrat or Whig, for on
certain points, he has “differed and agreed”
with both parties. He may therefore he re
garded as an impartial witness, and we do him
the justice to consider his production a true
picture of his opinions.
Thus brought up to the subject, the General
does not forget himself, or the part he acted in
the exciting party contests in which he has
played his j art. He became acquainted with
Mr. Clay in 1S23, when that gentleman was
Speaker of the House of Representatives;
was promoted by him to the chair of an impor
tant committee of the House, and soon cult i-
vated an acquaintance with him which ripened
into "tlie strongest social intimacy.” Taking
different sides in politics, this iutimacy was
soon destroyed, and he became so inimical to
Mr. Clay, that he passed him in the streets
“without even a distant recognition;” for, says
he, “I then had the folly to regard an oppo
nent of General Jackson, almost as a public
enemy of the country.” But an occasion soon
occurred, on which his hatred of Mr. Clay fled
on eagle wing. He became the second, or one
of the seconds of Mr. Randolph, in his famous
duel with Mr. Clay. Mr. Randolph made it
known to him that he did not intend to lire at
Mr. Clay. Col Tattnall, the other second of
Mr. R., was also informed of this determina
tion, and thus both went on the field to see
their principal shot at, while he had resolved
to do his adversary no harm! The result is
known to the world; Mr. Clay fired at and
missed Mr. Randolph, and Mr. R. discharged
his pistol in the air. And now it became Mr.
Clay’s time to act the hero; he no sooner saw
the pistol of Mr. Randolph fire in an opposite
direction, than he became alarmed for fear his
own ball had hit his antagonist, and he rushed
forward, extended bis hand, craved a recon
ciliation, and in a moment the enemies were
friends. General Hamilton, also, touched
with the fine feelings evinced by Mr. Clay, of
fered him his hand in testimony of a friend
ship which remains unbroken to the present
day. Thus is this affair of purposed murder
wrought up into an attractive tale, and the
niinJs of our youth poisoned with the moral
pestilence which yet lingers amongst us.
This account of the duel is not introduced
without a further motive than mere gossip.
Its tesults are traced down to strange con
sequences. The General shall tell the influ
ence it had in arresting the civil war which
was so near breaking out in South Carolina on
the tariff question. This war was not hinder
ed by General Jackson or his troops! These,
General H .milton with his volunteers would
willingly have met; hut they “knew that on the
discharge of the first musket, the streets of
their city would run with fraternal blood.”
“Mr. Clay lent his hand to stay the torrent.”
He retired from his ultra tariff notions and
came into the compromise act.
“I need not (says General H.) recapitulate
the circumstances which precipitated this mea
sure, or the fearful situation in which the coun
try was placet], when Mr. Clay and Mr. Cal
houn, standing as it were, over tfie trouoicu
waters, approached nearer to each other to
still the angry flood. Apart from all public
considerations which could adequately find
their origin in his own patriotism, I have al
ways believed, alfhough pride an 1 delicacy
have hitherto forbid an explanation, that the
touch of our hands on the old battle field on
tlie banks of the Potomac, was not without its
influence with Mr. Clay, when uniting his ex
ertions to those of Mr. Calhoun, to compose
this seemingly disastrous quarrel, he took an
anxious and friendly estimate of what he deem
ed the difficulty of my own position.”
r e have heard of great effects from trivial
causes, hut this “bangs all.” “The touch of
our hands on the old battle field on the banks
ofthe 1a^mac.” What battle field? Afield
chosen for the violation of the laws of God and
man—for the perpetuation of a custom suited
to the ages of barbarism and superstition; and
whose history is written in the blood of mur
dered thousands. Whose hands? One, which
that moment had held the pistol at its marl;,
and but for a mysterious Providence, would
have committed the highest crime known to
our laws. The other, a voluntary witness of
this attempt to take the life of his unresisting
friend!! These are the sainted hands whose
touch is to rescue a nation from the shedding
of torrents of blood! These are the men point
ed to as tlie objects of admiration, and select
ed for the places of power and confidence!
Oh honor!—thou fool—thou scoundrel—thou
curse!!
General Hamilton finishes his studied eulo-
gium on Mr. Clay, by denying that he is his
partisan; he assumes an air of disinterested
ness, that his opinions may have the more
weight. But he shall not pass without being
reminded that lie makes a poor figute in at
tempting to claim for Mr. Clay the gratitude
ofthe South for staying the torrents of blood
which his odious American System had near
ly caused to hurst forth. Gratitude to the in
cendiary who had heaped up his combustibles
aoainsi our habitations, but snatched the torch
from the hand of tlie desperado who would
have fired them. And we will remind the
Whig party, if any of them should so far for
get their rule of blind obedience as to read this,
That they are claimed as those who were ready
to plunge our country into a civil war, to put
down Mr. Clay and his system of revenue;
and yet have, without any change in his pur
poses, become his supporters! They who, ten
years ago, denounced this same Henry Clay,
as the author of tfie United States Bank, an
engine of aristocratic corruption and irrespon
sible power—the American System, an engine
of legal robbery ofthe South, and a system of
Internal Improvements by the General Gov
ernment, a still more corrupt and corrupting
influence, intended to render permanent this
combination of agents for Southern spoil and
devastation, are now his supporters! And to
cap tlie climax of absurdity, they bring forward
James Hamilton, who represents himself as
the arm which held the uplifted sxrord, ready to
be plunged into the heart of his country be
cause she had obeyed the councils of Henry
Clay, as their witness to prove the gratitude
due by the South to their late sworn enemy!

R. W. Pooler, Jr.
We insert with great satisfaction the follow
ing remarks of the Recorder. They evince
a charity of construction and kindness of
heart, too seldom seen “ in these degenerate
days,” aud stand in enviable and bold relief
above the kennel ribaldry of the Athens
Whig.
“In the unfortunate case of one of thecitizens of our
State, R. \y. Pooler, jr. of Savannah, it has been gen
erally slated, that the money which he has been accused
of purloining, was found in his drawers. This we are
happy to learn from a source at the point, and unques
tionable, is not true. The money was found in a pair
of drawers which were handed to him by, and belonging
to, tlie Prosecutor, when be Pooler pulled off his oivu
drawers to submit them to the search.—Young Pooler,
although ample bail was given, has gone back to jail, and
refuses to leave it, but will remain there until he comes
out acquitted of this accusation.
These statements, which are unquestionable, give an
entirely different view to the case, and we feel happy from
this anil other matters connected with his position, to trust
that our youthful citizen will come out unscathed from
this terrible ordeal. ”
To Messrs. Park Sp Rogers:
Permit me, though unaccustomed to write
for newspapers, to use your columns, to ex
pose a letter written by Mr. Stephens, a mem
ber of Congress from Georgia, upon the sub
ject of the tariff. It must be a circumstance
ol deep regret, to every reflecting citizen,
that in times of high party excitement, so lit
tle confidence, can be placed in the statements
of public men, and the editorials of many of our
public journals. It certainly was not so much
the case, when I was young. The time has
been, when such a letter as has been written
and published, by Mr. Stephens, would have
fastened upon him, unchangeably, public rep
robation. Vv ith his blackguardism, in tioticeing
the editors ofthe Times, I have nothing to do;
such a method of vindicating himself, for his
votes given in Congress, is a mere matter of
taste, and may he the result of education, or
some peculiar instinct. In the letter to which
1 have alluded, there are errors, gross and pal
pable, when analized, well calculated to de
ceive a confiding, or superficial reader. Be
sides his notice of the editor, what were the
purposes of his letter? In the first place, to
publish the sentiments of the Georgia whigs,
upon the subject ofthe tariff. He says, “they
are in favor of a tariff'for revenue, and for rev
enue only, to the amount necessary, for the
support ot the Government, but with such
wise and judicious discriminations, in the
manner of laying as may make the burthen of
taxation fall as lightly upon the people as
possible, and promote, as far as can be legiti
mately done in this way, all the great interests
ofthe country, whether mechanical, manufac
turing, agricultural or shipping.” Now, this
annunciation of the creed, of the whig party
of Georgia, does not accord with the spirit or
arguments of his letter. After laying down a
doctrine, which comes fully up to the doc
trines of the democratic party, he professes
not to comprehend what is meant by a tariff'
regulated upon revenue principles. He as
sumes to make such a tariff' consist in impo
sing duties alike on every article; and there
fore, he is opposed to a tariff', regulated upon
revenue principles, while he advocates, a ta
riff'/or rerenue and for revenue only. I will not;
charge Mr. Stephens, with an attempt to de-.
ceive such as may have confidence in his judg
ment and integrity, for.this would be a grave
charge, totally disqualifying him for a public,
trust; and I am reluctant to assail his intellif
geuce, for its lack would make his positioij
equally fatal to the interests of those whom ho
represents. A tariff upon revenue principle!
recognises discriminations, as Mr. Stephen*
admits, that the resolutions of Mr. McDowehjt
against which he voted, fully disclose. Th}
only question in issue, upon this branch oftha
subject is, whether those discriminations sha,
he made in favor of necessaries and articles i
common use among those in moderate ci
cumstances; or whether the discrimination
shall be made to benefit or protect manufai •
lurers. To what Mr. Stephens declares 1
be whig principle, his arguments stand oppt
sed; and while he professes well, he uses the
language used every day, by those who seek
to make popular the protective policy. To
depict minutely, this strange epistle, would
protract this communication to too great a
length; but I will notice the summing up of
his remarks, as showing definitively his views
and those of the Whig party, upon the tariff.
Speaking of the Democrats, Mr. Stephens
says: “The truth is, they know, that high and
onerous as “the odious whig tariff of 1842” is
I
" c *- O ivill nor vielrl a sufficient
revenue, to support government. Hits is the
conclusion intended to justify the tariff of
1842; and to prove that those who speak of its
repeal, are humbugging, because they know
it does not raise revenue enough. A tariff for
revenue, according to this position, consists in
the amoutit raised, to be adjudged only by the
sum necessary for the government. If it does
not raise enough, no man but a bumbugger,
will think of its repeal, is the idea this letter
seeks to impress. Does not Mr. Stephens
know, that a tariff so high as to prohibit im
ports, would fail in raising revenue?—Does
he not know, that it may be so low, as to fall
short of the amount desired? If so, he must
know, that a proper revenue tariff, does not
consist in the rates of duty, but in the manner
of their adjustment. A tariff adjusted upon
revenue principles, will meet with objections
from no free trade man, but when adjusted so
as to favor one class of our citizens at the ex
pense of others; although sufficient revenue is
not raised by it, I shall not consider it a hum
bug, to clamor for its repeal. This entire let
ter seeks to reconcile the reader, to the tariff
of IS12, because it is emphatically a whig ta
riff", aud must of conseqence, be palliated or
sustained. Among other things to accom
plish this general purpose, Mr. Stephens pub
lishes a letter, in order to show, that the tariff
of 1842, is not so high as the tariff of 1S28 and
1S32. Suppose his table sustained bis posi
tion, would that justify the last tariff? For
the two former brought the leaders of the
present whig party in Georgia, into a state of
open resistance. But, unfortunately for the
gentleman, his table will aid in proving, that
the tariff of 1342, is a more onerous tariff, and
the duties higher, than either of the tariffs of
1S2S or 1832. I will, for the sake of brevity,
present Mr. Stephens’ table—I will then make
some corrections, which the writer or printer
has made in the table, and then proceed to
prove, that by this table, the tariff of 1S42,
taxes consumers higher than the tariffs of 1S28
or 1832:
Mr. Stephens’ Table.
iron. The tax was enormous, and the people
of Georgia protested against it. I will not
notice particularly the per cent, upon Russia
and Swede iron, because upon these the tax
was less than upon English iron. But take
the Bristol iron costing 33 dollars and 60 cts.
per ton, and you will notice, that the specific
duty of 37 dollars per ton, was a tax of nearly
one hundred pet cent, upon the cost. What
is the tax upon the same article in 1842? Mr.
Stephens, in his table says: 324 dollars per ton,
but really it is not so bad; the duty is 25 dol
lars per ton. By publishing to the world, that
the tariff’of 1S28, imposed a duty of 37 dollars
per ton, and the tariff of 1842, hut 25 dollars
per ton. to one unacquainted with the opera
tion ol specific duties, he would conclude there
was a very handsome reduction. But what is
the fact? What is the tax paid by consumers,
on this iron? In order to ascertain this, you
must ascertain the present cost of the article
in Bristol. The table makes no allowance for
the vast improvements in machinery, improv
ed skill in manufacturing, and the lessened
expense of its production, for the last fifteen
years. It barely presents how much was paid
upon each ton, without respect to its cost. In
182S, a ton of this iron cost in Bristol, 38 dol
lars and 69 cents; in 1842, for the reasons I
have mentioned, it cost 22 dollars and 22 cts.
per ton. In this consists the imposition, and
renders it important, that duties should be as
sessed advalorem, that all may understand
how much they are faxed. Although the du
ty on iron, was in 1S28, thirty-seven dollars
per ton, the tax was not quite one hundred
per cent. And while the duty m 1842, is 25
dollars per ton, the tax is 1124 per ceut. Let
it be further remembered, that under the last
tariff, the duties are such duties which make
a further difference of some 24 per cent. And
yet this is the first article selected to prove
the tariff of 1842, reduces the former tariff.
I repeat, that either Mr. Stephens, was igno
rant (>f his subject, or in order to make the
whig policy palatable, has permitted a letter
published, calculated to deceive and mislead,
the people by whom he has been honored. If
I should find time, I will in a subsequent num
ber, take up the other items in his table, and
point out some gross errors, in the table itself;
and will farther prove, that nearly every arti
cle he enumerates, pays now a higher duty
than in 1828, and some of them fifty per cent,
more. I will make but a remark or two more,
upon this celebrated “whig tariff,” which Mr.
Stephens says, does not raise revenue enough.
So particularly was it passed, for the benefit
of manufacturers, that almost every article im
ported for their use, is duty free, while all ar
ticles which they make and which are neces
sary to every house keeper, are heavily taxed
in order to keep out competition, and give
them the home market. Ought a representa
tive of the State of Georgia, so far forget the
interests of his State, as to attempt to recon
cile by deceptive tables, his fellow citizens, to
a tariff which taxes the blacksmith's anvil, 70
per cent., and his hammer 67—which taxes
the halters sad and tailors smoothing irons,
140 per cent., and the sauce pans, kettle, &c.,
used by their wives in their kitchens, 45 per
cent.; which taxes the bright trace chains 144
per cent., and bright ox and log chains 160
per cent.—to say nothing of cottons and wool
lens, many of which vary from fifty to 250 per
cent. The people of Georgia, have stood un
til 1S40, like one man, openly opposing a pro
tective tariff; and l trust, that under the cry of
a tariff for revenue and for revenue only, they
will not be cheated into the support of a mea-

may be permitted in this number, 1 would be
seech every friend of his country, not to suffer
himself betrayed into a clamorous excitement,
but calmly and dispassionately, examine.eve-
ry measure, arid make such a decision upon
each, as will be calculated to perpetuate the
free institutions of the country. The manner
in which the political canvass of 1840, was
conducted, did more to dethrone reason and
set aside judgment, than any occurrence which
has taken place since the government was
founded. Men who love their country, and
its institutions, ought to discountenance the
means which substitutes clamor, noise, and
songs, for calm and sober deliberation. Any
set of men, who hope to get power, by practi
cing upon prejudice or passion, ought to be
taught, that the people from whom all power
is derived, are too sober and firm, to be sung
out of their rights, by ludicrous songs, or cheat
ed out of them by deceptive tables, which bring
their minds to improper conclusions. The
church is interested, to put its face against
such impo-ition; and I honestly hope, that the
banner of the Gospel, will not be made again
to trail in the dust, as in the last Presidential
canvass; but that morals and sobriety will
characterize the church of Christ. I have
scarcely ever written an article for a newspa
per, and have undertaken the task to call at
tention to a letter, which the Editors of the
Recorder, recommended with great warmth
to their readers. The letter so far from de
serving commendation, merits the censure or
regret, of the honest of both parties. The re
marks are deceptive; the table is erroneous
and deceptive; and the object sought to be ac
complished by its publication, a fraud upon
the rights of the people. You will probably
hear from me again before long.

One of the errors to be corrected, in the a-
bove table, is the year 1841, and substituting
therefor, the year 1842; as the tariff'of 1841 is
not now in existence, and never had any such
scale of duties as those above: The first ar
ticle, iron in bars, it will he noticed, was taxed
under the tariff of 1S28, at 37 dollars per Ion.
Will the writer tell the farmers of the coun
try, what per cent, that tax was upon the cost?
The tax imposed upon the ton, does not show
the tax advalotem, by which alone the amount
of tax can be known. For instance, a tax of
3 cents a yard u;>on cotton goods, which cost
but 3 cents, would be doubling its price, ma
king the tax one hundred per cent; whereas a
tax of six cents a yard upon goods costing 24
cents a yard, would be but 35 per cent tax.
Those duties called specific duties, fixing a tax
upnti the ton, pound, yard, &c., instead of up
on the cost, enables those who choose to avail
themselves of it, to impose upon such as have
not the time to examine the subject. I en
quire, what tax was imposed by the tariff of
1S2S, upon bar iron, rolled or partly rolled?
The answer is imperfect, when I am told in
the table that it was 37 dollars per ton. .What
per cent was 37 dollars per ton, in 1828? In
order to ascertain the amount of tax, you must
certainly be informed what a ton of such iron
cost at that time. By reference to a table ot
prices, then published, I find that in Russia
and Sweden, it cost 57 dollars per ton, and in
Bristol, Englaud, 38 dollars and sixty cents per
ton. Now it is easy to tell how much tax,
this law of 1828, imposed upon this class of

PENNSYLVANIA.
This little letter speaks volumes:
Senate Chamber.
Harrisburg, Pa.. March 6, 1844.
Gentlemen: Our democratic State convention, upon
the third ballot, nominated the Hon. H. A. Muhlenburg
as the candidate for governor. Marlin Van Buren was
nominated, upon the first ballot, as the candidate for the
presidency, receiving ninety-one votes. Colonel John
son received thirty-five votes, and Lewis Cass one.—
Colonel Johnson was nominated by acclamation for the
vice presidency. The democracy of Pennsylvania will
respond to these nominations at tlie next election, aria
the whole democratic ticket will triumph by a glorious
majority. In haste, your friend.
JOHN S. McCAHEN.
Messrs. Blais A Rives.
The patronage of the State and general government,
everybody knows, has been arrayed against Mr. Van
Buren for three years; and if ever the art of “the scurvy
politician” was used to circumvent the will of an honest
and patriotic people, in its effort to promote the common
good of the democracy in choosing its presidential can
didate, it has been employed by federalism in Pennsyl
vania. Thu posture of things in this State was never
more propitious to the intriguing enemies of any man
than they have been to those who foster deadly enmity
to Mr. Van Buren as the leader of the democracy. Be
sides the command of the double patronage wielded by
unscrupulous men within the Stale, the namea of belov
ed and justly influential rivals have been brought to ope
rate against him: Cass and Johnson, endeared to Pennsyl
vania by service in the same field with hex own troops
duriug the war; and Buchanan, the pride of the Com
monwealth as its great statesman and debater—have
been used by those who loved them as little as Van Bu
ren, to destroy him. But the sense of duty to a great
common cause outweighs, with Pennsylvania and her
preferred son, and Mr. Van Buren'sother honest rivals,
all personal considerations. Mr. Buchanan, who bad a
right to expect, and would certainly have received, the
nomination of his State, in advance took the step which
he thought essential to promote the good of the cause
with which he is identified, and remove all obstruction
from the course of self-sacrificing patriotism which his
State has so often shown her alacrity to pursue. How
promptly, disinterestedly, and cordially this Keystone of
the democratic cause has taken its place, to bind together

TENNESSEE AND COOSA R. ROAD.
The Legislature of Alabama, at its recent
session, chartered a company with a capital of
five hundred thousand dollars for the purpose
of constructing a railroad from some point at
or near Gunter’s Landing, up in the Tennes
see river, to the most eligible point on tlie
Coosa river, between the base of Lookout
Mouutain and the Ten Island Shoals, to be lo
cated with a view to its extension, at some fu
ture day, to some point on the Alabama river.
The Huntsville Democrat contains the act
incorporating the company, and a letter on the
subject from Mr. Calhoun. Remarking on
this letter, the Democrat says: “It will be seen
that Mr. Calhoun intends to be present at the
meeting to he held here on the 20th of May
next, provided a general meeting is called and
his engagements will not prevent his attend
ance. We trust that every exertion will be
made to get him here on that occasion; for we
believe a mighty impulse will be given to the
spirit of internal improvement. Every part
of this State, of Georgia, of South Carolina
and Tennessee, should send delegates. The
people of Huntsville will be proud ofthe oc
casion to offer their warm hospitality and at
that delightful season our village and the
neighborhood are particularly attractive aud
picturesque.”
The Democrat also says, that “at the meet
ing in May, steps will he taken to incorporate
the Tennessee and Coosa Rail Road Compa
ny, and to have a minute survey and estimates
made of the cost of the work, preparatory to
the meeting of the Legislature in November,
when another effort (and we doubt not a suc
cessful one,) will be made to obtain a part of
the 2 per cent, fund in aid of the enterprise.
We hope these objects will he ket in view and
this subject extensively agitated, especially by
the people throughout North Alabama.”
The following is the letter of Mr. Calhoun
referred to above:
Fort Hill, Jan. 10, 1844.
Dear Sir:—You are right in supposing that
I take a deep interest in the completion ofthe
Rail Road to connect the Tennessee river
with the Southern Atlantic ports. I am of the
impression, that one of its branches ought to
terminate at Gunter’s Landing, where your
address proposes, and that branch (in connec
tion with the river and the Decatur R. Road)
ought to connect with the Mississippi at Mem
phis; and with the Cumberland at Nashville.
The completion of the whole, I regard as of
the utmost importance in every view; com
mercial, political and social, and am prepared
to render every aid I can towards it. It will
effect a revolution in the trade of the Great
Valley qf the West.
From some delay of the mail, I did not re
ceive your circular till after your proposed
meeting. I would suggest as the best means
of giving a decided impulse to the great en
terprise, that efficient measures should be ta
ken to obtain a full attendance from the Sou
thern Atlantic States, and those in the Great
Valley, at yout proposed meeting in May
next.—There is not a State in the Valiev of
the Mississippi, that has not a deep interest.
There ought to he put out a pressing call, sta
ting some of the principal advantages, and urg
ing a full attendance of all concerned, which
should be widely circulated. It would afford
me great pleasure to attend and give my sup
port to it every way, if I should not he una
voidably prevented by my engagements, and
if a full meeting shall be called.
With respect,
I am your obedient servant,
J. C. CALHOUN.

TERRIBLE STEAMBOAT DISASTER.
By the Mail of yesterday evening, we have
extras from the N. O. Picayune aud Republican
of March 2d, giving an account of one of the
most frightful accidents that ever occurred on
the Mississippi. We give the statement of
the Picayune. ■
We have just received the distressing intel
ligence that yesterday morning between 2 and
3 o’clock, the steamers. De Soto and Buckeye
came in collision in what is called Old River,
just below Atchafalaya, and that the latter boat
was sunk to her hurricane deck in less than
five minutes.
The Buckeye was ascending the river with
upwards of three hundred souls on board,
white and black —of this number between 60
and SO are estimated to have been lost.
A gentleman who was on board the De Soto
describes the whole scene as heart-rending be
yond description. The passengers were all
asleep at the time of the accident, and such as
were saved, only escaped-in theirnight clothes.
Mothers rushed frantically about in search of
their children; husbands in search of their
wives and sisters. Mr. Hymes, of Alexandria,
whose family was with him, lost his daughter,
a beautiful and interesting girl, with his wife’s
sister, described as an accomplished young la
dy. He also lost some fifteen negroes. Col.
Richard King lost two children ; Mr. Alexan
der McKenzie, late of Florida, lost his wife,
seven children, and several negroes. Mr.
John Blunt, also from Florida, lost his wife,
one child, and several negroes. A young man,
name unknown, lost his two sisters. Mr.
Bean attempted to swim ashore with a little
nephew, and both were drowned. Of the
deck passengers on board the Buckeye, but
few were saved, so suddenly did she go down.
Many of the passengers lost every thing, but
it is impossible at present to estimate the full
loss. The captain of the De Soto, which
boat was but little injured, succeeded in sav
ing the lives of many, and also some of the
property. At this late hour we find it impos
sible to give farther particulars in season for
the mail. The De Soto is now at our Levee,
and the lamentatiods of those who have lost
children and other relatives are still heard.
