Our people have been accustomed to think the con

sensitive at the cry of “ 'Farit)

tion, and upon which the facts can lit" more readily
ascertained than most others, hut are w illing to take
any other item. Il' our prediction proves true, we
shall then have throw u down the greatest strong hold
that theorists hay e, against “protective duties."’
1 lie above e\t nordinary statement is taken from
tile Savannah Republican o.'tlie 5th of August. We
can imagine no other motive lor an assertion so pre
posterous, than an apprehension of increased hostility
to the majority' in Congress, who are about to fasten
an improper and oppressive Revenue Bill on the
country, and a desire to protract, /or the present, an
expression of disapprobation which must inevitably
attend the operation of this law.
“Our people” will now be shown, says the Repub
lican, that the consumer does not pay all the duly.
It was hut the other day tiiat a nu mber ol Congress
observed that it w as no v imiv t-allv conceded that
the consumer ilitl pay all tie duty.

Hackin'' on his Deiithlml.— An incith lit is related
ol Buckingham during his I.
as a deathbed anecdote and
cinicii of his peculiar humor, w ill he read with inter- j should have voted liiuiself lor the
est. The circumstances in (jnestion is related by the
younger Richardson; who, however, unfortunately
omits mentioning his amhoiilv. “As George \ il*
li rs, Duke of Buckingham, yva» dying, w liieh lie did his appeal, and leas ing lis case with the (Quarterly
at an inn, the Duke of OueeiisheiTV. going down t
Scotland, heard of' it when he was within a f'eyv mile
of the place, and went to make him a visit. Si
liim in this condition, he asked him il lie would not
have a clergyman? ‘I look upon them,’ said the
duke, ‘ to be a p ii cel of y ei y silly fellows, w ho don’t
trouble themselves about what they teach.’ So
(|ne- ii'bcrry asl.nl him if' he svnuld have lus chap
lain, for lie was a Dissenter.'' ‘No,’ says Bucking
ham, ‘those fellows always make me sick tvitli their
yy bine and cant.’ The Duke of (-Jiieensherry taking
it for granted he must be of some religion or other
then supposed undoubtedly il mint be tlie Catholic;
and told him there was a Popish I >rd in the neighbor
hood, named aim and asked ii lie should not send lor
his priest? ‘No,’ say s lie,‘those rascals cat God; hut
il y ou know any s, t ol fellows that eat tlie Devil, 1
should he obliged to ymu if" you would send lor one ol
them.’ ’’—Jessy's M'wioirs "f th (.'ourl of I.n.rlanil

say that you may impose in a certain amount, and no
alteration in cost will occur; but transcend 111i- limit
and the price increases ? 11*so, w hat is tlie maximum
to which duties may go, an 1 not affect the value of
them tide taxed.' Or, is this the ijea of the Repub
lican, tli it the production w ill In >u increased, or,
from other causes, it w ill lie sold so much lower in the
Foreign market, that it can he re-s.dd here at its pre
sent price? If this he the siipusiti m, why then, if it
were duty free as it is at present, it would lie uflordcd
lion of the Constitution ol’the l . States, esc.. ;it a lower rate than it is now commanding, and
I!. Pryor, of Harris county, then succeeded, of course ihe consumer would be correspondingly ben-
e fitted.
W e ask tlie Republican if the duty laid, on cof
fee is not soniew here or somehow incorporated into the
price o| the article, ami who pays for it.'
'lake the article ol iron, the manufacture of yvliicli
is regular, and not controlled by climate or seasons,
am! wliirli, besides, is of absolute, indispensable ne
cessity, w ill tlie imposition of 20 per cent, duty ail'd t
no change in the price of tiiat article ?
The Republican certainly cannot be serious in its
assertion that the price of at tides are not in the slight
est affected by tlie imposition of duties upon them.
The Reptiblii an must have de-igmd to quiet for
the present public disapprobation, which is assure
to follow the passage ol this bill as that the sun
shines.
Besides, it appears that the articles heretofore duty
free,(and many of yy liieh are of essential importance to
the South) yvill, if the importation be tlie same, raise
under tin? new law about three millions of revenue, the
amount yearly derived Irotn the public hinds. .Now
wliat does the Republican think of the action ol its
party to giveaway a proper and fei'ilinutfc income,
if not in order to levy a tariff, which necessaiily for
ces its imposition? It does certainly to a plain, com
mon sense man appear to he most extraordinary legis
lation—unless the re al object were to subject the coun
try to a protectiy e tariff.

storm, yesterday afternoon, a little before two o’clock,
the conductor atta lied to one o! the chimneys ol
the \ ictorin Hotel, on the South side, received a very
severe shock by the lightning. The fluid passed
down the rod as far as the roof of the building, which
was covered with inutallic composition; it then tra
versed the rmif and shattered one ol tlie wooden urns
on the parapi t wall on the north east corner of thr-
Imilding, some of the splinters were thrown a great
distance. The shock was felt very slightly by some
of the inmates of the house, and strange to say, the
persons in the neighborhood li lt it very sensibly. M e
are happy, to state, however, that no other damage
was done to the building.— Char, t'miner.

J. B. PAYNE,

/ ’< rn/, June 20/// 1841.
Tlie duly yyliich I owe to inysel!, niv fami.'y , and
my b lends, demands that the gross misrepresentations,
coin.oiled in this ofiicial attack upon my chai n, ter,
should not pass unnoticed. I had Imped that tlio-e
who hav. been my persecutors, would have been >u!i.-
tieil when they had ejected me from tlie Chur, h, ami
taken from me my lii’pnse to pleach, imt it seems
that, like ail ungenerous foe, they are not content to
let me lie when they have knocked me down, hut are
determined to stamp upon me, while I have life or a-
bility to feel. I have always known, since their first
proceedings against me, that I have been h i-ely slan
dered, the victim of oppression atul high-handed ty
ranny. My respect for the Church, and regard for
the feelings of soui“ who have joined in the hue anil
cry against me, hail determined me qu rtiv to s..li
mit, an I stifler yy rung rather than, in v indi. a'.ing niv -
self, expose to the public eve, the weakness and folly
of some who rule tlie Church, not by its discipline,
hut according to their own whims and prejudices. The
attack upon me, however, Int' tu rn ma le p.-ibhc; and
0 much of the truth, at least, shall now be made
known, as yvill save mv character from lire ruin
attempted to he cfleoted. If others are hurt, the
lault is not mine. They mav thank themselves
for the exposures which they have forced upon me
It is true, then, a. Mr. Payne a-- it', that charges
were preferred agiiii.t me. It i. u >t t il . l;o.v,-ycr,
that they were proved before a commit i ioeai
preachers, or any other body. The fuels are these,
and I boldly challenge Mr. Payne, and all his “vari
ous brctliern and friends,” to establish, liy evidence,
the falsity of any one of them. In the spring ol'fS-10,
1 was summoned to answer to these charge - before n
committee. For several days before and afo r tin-
day ol trial, I was tumid. 1 lo leave mv house. I did
I not, hec atise I mold not attend the trial, nor could
I make any preparation for it. The cause ofmv ab
sence was distinctly known to all of the committee.
Strange as it may seem, however, the eomn i lee did
proceed, in disregard of the discipline ami of common
justice, and did suspend me. But wliat was the evi
dence? I low were tlie charges all proved.' ’I’I it- re
was not a single witness to prove a single charge.
All the testimony received, was the loose and vague
rumors in circulation, taken when I was not, and
could not he present to explain and disprove them.
Again. Mr. Pay ne says these charges were all prov ed
before the Quarterly Conference. I w ill not say tiiat

promptly rectified by an old matter of fact Church

Ii may be a i led ton, that, if Mr. Bayne will expose

But, Mr. Bay it says, I am mm “preaching w itliout
authority of the Church, ami to the injury of -ome so-
sietics.” I have y et to learn, that he or any one else,
has any right to bridle mv tongue. In llie retire ot"
the last w inter, I removetl in Dooly county, where,
lor ye o-s pa-t. I had lieen in tlie habit ol" preaching
oeca'io la’h , ami w le rt I had been the instrume.it of

ference not a single xvittic
ny xvas introduced, unless it was when their do *rs
were closed, and I was excluded. He sav*. too, that
I disproved none of the charges I was mo suinmoiieil
there for that purpose. I xveut to hear evidence
against myself, not to proven negative. Xoevidi-uce
was brought again.t me. I had nothing to disprove.
I ditl not make a statement in the Conference, in which,
while I admitted that mv conduct ha 1 not been as
rircuui'pei t as it should have been, I exprcs-lv and
di'tiucllv denied the truth ol the charges, and called
for the proof, In this I ditl not ask the sympathy,
Imt the justice of th-.* Conference. M'iien the question
was taken, il was without anv evidence, except the
statement made hv myself, and it was decided agaitisi
me hv a majority of one, and not of‘‘three or four.”
I did not impugn the motive of the Conference; and.
therefore, in the sense Mr. Bayne wi-he* to he under
stood, never did m-knowledge they hail done right
If those were inv feelings, why should I have consent
ed to an appeal, which he says I caused to he made.
The one assertion flatly contradicts tlie o her. But
again, there is another error w liicn more gros'lv shew-
the treachery of Mr. Bayne’s memory. He say-
“at tlie fourth Quarterly Conference, all mv friends
voted against ine;” and hence, that my expulsion wa-
by a unanimous vote. Now, I have been lol I h\
some of the members, that'lie majority was small, and
I have a letter from Mr. Bayne himself, communicat
ing the result, in which he say., tiie vote was about
the same as at the oilier meeting of Conference.
The last paragraph of Mr. Payne’s article, evinces
the spirit which lias dictated all these pi o-eedings a-
gainst me. Ift!i**re were indictments and warrant
against me, why, living as lie does, at tlie Court-1 loose.
