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.

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.

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. loud ot milk diet, tlu pasturi d in the laud of yy liidi is a spacious jiro'pect of laud and leaking of. a Major ui I, his family being trail had seyeral cows that , nf the United Slates, the oiigiu ot'lhe Federal . !!■ publican parlies, the principles of each—tin i- . y of the measures now pending in the Coti- . th-I n ted States—tlie pccuniary cmharrass- ■ t! : country —the promises of Relief and Re- dr liy the party now in the asiendant, during t • IV id utial canv a-', and which has proved i ; i i i d-e and deceptive, hut in fad, additional iavi- been imposed upon the people.

J. B. PAYNE, I*. E. i f Fort Gaines District. / ’< 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 Mr. Payne knowingly ass. its wliat is not true, but The itistant Peace witti England is to he preserved by a sacrifice of National honor, that boon, precious as it is, costs ton Hindi.

R. E. BROWN. D-ioly fount v, 2 till July, l-'dl. 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.
