lin opposition to the wishes of 181,000. When
I will wonders cease?
I 2nd. Because the inequality of representation,
I,he great evil of which the people complain
I ’ nder the present constitution, is increased in-
I stead of remedied, by the proposed alterations.
I Vjr example, under the present constitution the
I < 7 counties, containing a population of 181,004
I white inhabitants, are represented by 83 mem
Ibers, which is one member for every 2180 per-
I sons'. While the 62 remaining counties, con-
I taining a white population of 133,614 are rep-
I resented by 94 members, making one member
I for every 1421 persons, this shows plainly an
■ inequality of 759 persons to each representative,
I'm different parts of the country, and constitutes
I the strongest objection tu our present Constitu-
I tion. To remedy this great evil, was the pri-
I inary object, for which the late Convention was
■ called by the people. But what does the alter
lation, the offspring of that convention propose?
■To give to the 27 counties having a population
■of 181,004 white inhabitants, 69 representa-
Itives, equal to 2623 persons for each represen
tative—and to the remaining 62 counties, con
taining 133,614 white inhabitants, only 75 re
presentatives, equal to 1781 persons for each
[representative—producing an inequality to each
[representative of 842 persons. A beautiful
[remedy this is indeed,which increases the evil 11
loer cent, or produces a wider difference from
[equality of 83 persons, to every representative.
■ ‘ 3d. Because the proposed reduction, is not
[sufficient to produce any saliitarv effect upon
[the interest of the great body of the people ; but
■on the contrary, the reduction of the taxes es-
Bbcted thereby, will produce a saving, mainly to
■he ridw, and not to the poorer classes of the
feople. Letu3 examine this position. Sup-
Ko.se the reduction of the whole tax at $20,000,
■ a Utile above the real amount.) The whole
K u m m ust be reduced rateably upon every item
E taxation —therefore the negro tax,—the town
Kroperty tax—(he Bank Stock tax—the Land
Ex —and the tax upon the Merchants stock in
fade, all claim their equal reduction with the
foil tax; the only one in which tho poor man is
■nterested. Now the Poll tax is assessed on
Ease persons only, who are entitled to vote,
End it is a reasonable estimate for round nura-
Bbors, to set them down at 40 thousand. This
■vould make the whole poll tax of the state
K 12,500. Whereas the general tax is fairly es-
Iliniated at $136,666— making all the other
ferns of taxation, bear a proportion of nearly 12
[a l, with the Poll tax. The saving then to the
■vhole of the people of the state, who are sub-
Bcct to a poll tax, arising from this wonderful re
faction of $20,000 in the taxes of the state, is
liere fairly estimated at $1666, or about four j
Kents to each person. Take then into consider-
Ktion the fact, that the four cents a head, (and
■vhich constitutes a part of this sum) is saved to
■he rich man, as well as to the poor, and that
■he whole of the residue of the $20,000, say |
*18,331, is a saving to the Negro properly, j
End money tax: And I submit the question to
Kay candid man who has three grains of com
mon sense, if the advantages of this reduction,
f rc not much more favorable to the rich, than
Khey are to the poor. Yet the poor man’s ears
■re almost deafened with the continual cry of
H W le for ratification, and you will save $20,-
■00” !!! Such a palpable and shameful attempt
Ho impose upon the people, calls loudly for their
Indignation, and shows the great necessity for a
Brompt exercise of their better judgment on the
■abject, by rejecting a proposition that would
Barter the rights of the majority, to an aristo-
Brah'c minority, for the pitiful saving of four
Boats ahead in their taxes.
K 4th. And because the proposed amendment
Biterferes with the established basis of repre-
Bentation in the constitution, unauthorised by
H c people, and inconsistent with the great con
■ictmg interests of the country; a reconciliation
j which, can alono secure peace and happiness
the people, under any form of government
whatever. For instance, a considerable effort
Was made in the convention that formed the
Wederal Constitution, to deprive the slave j
Holding States of a representation in that
Hrovcmment, equal to the wealth and popu-
Bntion of their section of country; by depriv
ing them of the enumeration of persons of
H°lour, in ascertaining the census of the repre-
IKenlativo population of the states. It was
IBontended by the states holding slaves, that
Bey ought to be numbered on the ground, that
[Kiiy composed the great effective labouring
I Klass of their population, and that as the taxes
|.K>r the support of the Government would be
[plainly derived from those sections of country’,
| which exported the largest quantities of produce,
|BkI consequently, would become the largest
IjKnporters of foreign articles: And as those ar
iKcles of export were mainly the product ot the
|boiii , ‘ofthe black population of the sections of
I lountry, where they resided, it was but an act of
|Ktstice to those states, that they should have a
Bice in the Government, for Jhe protection of
■Big great anu iinpCrttPl interest; equal at least,
w the advantages the GviiCrnmmt derived from
laboifi, as a part of the population of the
PKould suffer their slaves to bear a portion of the
I ii'ed taxes of the government in times ot war,
■c.—as well as the indirect in times of peace,
■at they might be enumerated in the represen
■tive population of the states, upon what is now
■rtned the federal basis. So that it is clearly
Ben, that if the slave holding states had not re
vived an equivalent in the constitution, by m-
Bcased representation in the government, that
Bey never would have submitted to the imposi
|wn of burthens or taxes on their slaves, either
Brectly or indirectly. The same position held
Bod in the adoption of our state constitution,
Bd it was agreed, that as an equivalent for the
Rht of the Government, to tax persons of co
■ur, that the counties in which they resided,
lould have the privilege of enumerating
cm, upon the principle of the federal basis, as
part of their representive population. (This
ivilege is not secured to the masters of the
itu, but to the counties where they reside.)
ow I lay down a plain proposition addressed
the understanding of every man : Is it not, or
ight it not, to bo the first object of government
secure the highest interests and happiness ot
the people under its control—and when the
people themselves are the conservators of their
own rights, is it reasonable to suppose, that one
class, would yield a vital right into the hands ©f
another, and place it under their exclusive con
trol, withoutany security whatever, that the power
would not be abused ? It therefore the govern
ment should now deny to the slave holding
counties, the right of numbering their slaves as
a portion of their representative population, then
it must relinquish the right of ‘axing them; for it
is altogether idle to suppose that any people will
for a long time together, submit to be compelled
to bear an undue proportion of the burthens of;
tho government, without having secured to them, ■
an equivalent in their advantages. And if the
representation of the slaves is denied, and the
payment of taxes on them refused, the deficit of
the slave tax, which is upwards of $69,000,
would have to be added to the poll-tax, in com
mon with the other objects of taxation; making
the increase of the burthen to the poor mar, ten
times as great as the advantage he would gain
by a transfer of his legitimate rights and liber
ties for a few cents.
But you are told in connection with this sub
ject, “ that the poor man is now put upon a
footing with the rich man’s slave.” Never was
there a statement more palpably false, or a po
sition, more deceptively taken. Suppose a
county entitled to two representatives, on the
white basis; who votes for them ? Every free
white man who has attained the age of twenty
one years—who has been a citizen of the state
one year; of the county six months, and who
has paid all lawful taxes required of him by the
government 1 Suppose the same county, on the
federal basis, entitled to three representatives;
who votes for them ? Do not the very same
identical free white citizens, qualified as above
stated ? flow then can a negro be put upon a
footing with the poor man ? I submit it to your
common sense, if the contrary is not the fact;
that the poor man has all the advantages of the
rich man in voting, for he votes for tho same
number of members, that the rich man does,
and of course must have the same number of
votes; whereas the rich man is paying an addi
tional tax on his negroes, which the poor man
does not pay. Therefore, while the poor man
derives all the advantage of the representation
of the negro population, which may happen to
be in the county where he resides, by voting
himself for an additional member, he also de
rives an important advantage from the tax paid
on the negroes, in as much as it has a direct
tendency to lessen that which is paid by himself.
Permit me, Fellow Citizens, to ask your
candid examination of the reaso is, herein sub
mitted to you. Why you should net vote for
“ Ratification;'” and surfer not tho shameful,
degraded slang of the country, about the poor
man’s rights to mislead you. Rely upon it, the
more you examine into this matter, the more you
will bo confirmed in the fact, that the rich and
the poor man’s interests in the same communi
ty, are inseparably identified, and whatever
goes to the injury of the one,equally bears upon
the other. Our government is correctly predi
cated, upon the dependant condition of every
class of persons upon each other; and however
widely the nature of this dependence may dif
fer, yet it is the strong ligament that binds us as
citizens together; and he who would break it,
by disseminating error, for the purpose of pro
ducing discord among the people, or in any
other way, is worse than a traitor to his country.
The writer ofthis article is a plain man among
you. One who does not seek for either office
or di-tinction, nor can he boast of wealth, be
yond the common lot of his fellow citizens.
He theiefore believes that he has a higher claim
to their candid attention, because there is a per
iod identity of interest between himself, and the
great mass of the common people, to whom
these considerations are particularly addressed.
A CITIZEN OF HALL.
We extract the following from the Augusta Courier,
for which paper it was communicated by some letter w ri
terat Athens, as an evidence of the way they do things
M down East.'’
“But a moment’s truce to politics. I will
give you a touch of life. The display of equip
age and finery in Athens is astonishing. Their
houses are furnished like those of Princes, and
splendid carriages dash through every street.
I was told I would be surprised at the wealth
and splendor of the Back Country of Georgia.
There are many fine specimens, from what was
recently the “woods,” now in this place, and
bath mothers and daughters have all the grace
and polish of a city life. Intelligent, beautiful
and gay, they would shine with distinguished
splendor in any constellation. I presume, how
ever, every body here, on such occasions, puts
the best foot foremast. All activity—ostentation
dashing display.—Their motto seems to be,
“Push along—keep moving.” The men look
as saucy as politicians, though uncommonly
courteous, except at the Public Tables, i here
they appear all to have taken lessons from the
•* , „-,. £ ' r ''dlc<elife. The games olsnatcli
necessities oi r
and Cut and Come, are playeu in P Brfec £°";
But getting a seat seems to be the giC-at object
of ambition—eating forms no part of their en
joyment-swallowing is all, and off they go
again in a perpetual hurry. Whatever may be
their party designations elsewhere, heie they
areall Davy Crocket men. “Goahead” is their
creed and practice. Such sedate fellows as you
and I, would starve here, but for the kindness ot
the Landlords, who, when they can find a modest
man, mark him. A ludicrous incident occurred
in one of the rushes to the public tables : Iwo
very polite gentlemen made a simultaneous of
fer to take the same seat. Being acquaintances
their politeness withheld them both from the
chair; and while they were mutually urging each
other to accept it, an “expert,” who was near by,
ended the amicable strife by taking it himself.
The Public houses are at present perfectly in
adequate to entertain the company which crowds
Athens ‘uring commencement. They talk of
building by a company, a splendid Hotel, Ine
conductors of the present ones do all that men
can do to accommodate their visitors, but what
can they do with the sudden influx of not less
than one thousand strangers! Under this state
of affairs- vou need not look for comfort, partic
ularly in August. If you have only one bed tol
low, thank your stars; and if you can get a mat
tress to stretch across a bed-stead, whose slats
are not mere than a font apart,you arc in a par
adise, even if vou and your slats should all reach
the floor before morning.”
The Benefits of a Reduction of the Tariff. —
Mr. Editor—lt is trulylgratifying to see iu the
signs of the times the fulfilment ofthe best hopes
entertained of the consequences of State inter
position. Although not six months have elaps
ed since Mr. Clay’s Bill was passed; scarcely
more than time for tho news of it to pass to Eu
rope, and for us to learn the impression produced
there—we find cotton has risen here to 14 cents,
and in New York to 16 cents, with the calcula
tion by good judges that the present crop will
bring 18 cents. We already learn, moreover,
that the importations of foreign goods were so
great, ‘hat in New York alone the duties will
exceed 12,000,000. How do these effects of a
reduction of the tariff” even prospectively, con
firm against all cavil the truth of the State
Bight’s Party doctrine. We all along said that
a consequence of a repeal of the tariff’ would be
an immediate increase of the price of our great
staple—that this would be attended by an in
crease of the consumption, and of course of the
importation of foreign goods. The British
manufacturers want nothing more than the pros
pect of a good market here, to induce them to
anticipate that market, even at very low profits
to themselves, in order at once to compete with
the home manufacturer. This ol course in
creases the demand of the raw material and as
a corollary enhances its price. Hence all the
nonsense we heard of cotton being brought to a
low price by the great supply, is apparent. Be
cause it is very clear, that the demand is incal
culably great —that nothing but a free exchange
is necessary to keep it up and increase it; and
that the consumption all over the world is rap
idly advancing even beyond the ability to aug
ment its growth in a commensurate degree.
That it is and will continue to be substituted to
a great degree for woollen and flaxen fabrics, as
it is so much cheaper, and is within the means
of the humblest classes.
But, Mr. Editor, there is another effect which
will grow from this state of things, that we should
not overlook. There will result from such
great importations, an overflowing treasury —
Avery large surplus will be produced; and, ac
cording to the principle of Mr. Clay’s Bill, will
demand a r ipid reduction of the Tariff to bring
down the taxes to the revenue standard. fVitl
this be done ? Or, as Col. Drayton has said,
will it be declared that no such compact exists ?
And will high, duties be kept on solely for pro
tection to inunulactureis ? And the Coercion
Bill be relied on as a precedent to prevent any
resistance to them?— Charleston JMercury.
Our Rail Road. —The pamphlet, published
at Augusta, whicii we reprint at length, in our
preceding columns, from the pen of A. A. Dex
ter, one of the resident Engineers of the Sou h
Carolina Kail Road, furnishes many practical
and sensible details, tending to shew tho superior
facilities and advantages enjoyed by the South,
as compared with the North, in the construction
of Rail Roads. The entire cost of our Rail
Road, running over a space of 135 miles, is es
timated at $904,500, or $6,700 per mile. The
estimated cost of the Camden and Amboy Rail
Road, tho thoroughfare of travel between New
York and Philadelphia, 61 miles in length, is
$1,120,322, or $18,366 per mile—exclusive of
engines, cars, wharves depositaries, &c. which
would swell the amount to $1,3 iO,OOO, or s2l,
311 per mile. The Company'interested in this
Road, is said to have advertised for a loan of
SBOO,OOO, which, if expended on the Road, will
make the cost $2,100,000, or $34,000 per mile.
The stock of this Company is now quoted at
155 to 160. The New Castle and French Town
Rail Road, across the Isthmus of Delaware, the
great highway of trade between Baltimore and
Philadelphia, a single tract of but sixteen miles
in extent, cost sluo,ooo, or $25,000 per mile;
to which is to be added the sum of $40,000 for
a complete supply of engines, and freight, and
passenger cais. Tho stock of this Road is now
quoted at 66 per cent, above par. The Hudson
and Mohawk Rail Road, from Albany to Sche
nectady, 15 3-4 miles, is supposed to nave cost
SBOO,OOO, or over $50,000 per mile; with SIOO,
000 besides, for land, locomotives, &c.—and its
stock is now about 32 per cent, above par. —
The Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, a stupen
dous work of American enterprise, intended to
pass over tho Alleghany Mountains, will, when
completed, be 330 miles long. Only about 78
miles are now finished, at a cost of about $30,-
000 per mile; no expense, however, incurred
tor steam engines, horses being used as the mo
tive power. The comparative cheapness of the
South Carolina work is thus conclusively estab
lished, the average of tho cost of Northern
Roads, with double track, being not less than
$30,000 per mile or 500 per cent, over that of
the Carolina Road.
The advantages of constiuction in the South,
in comparison with the North, are summed up
as consisting in the greater abundance and
cheapness of good timber, as regards Roads
passing through the pine region within 100 miles
of the sea board, in a less undulating chaiacter
of profile ; the absence of injurious frosts, occa
sioning at the North an additional expense of
SI,OOO per mile ; in slave labor, effecting a sav-
in workmanship of at least 30 per cent, and
lastly, in the cheapness ofland, affording almost
a gratuitous right of way.
Avery flattering estimate, calculated to ex
cite golden hopes in those who have embarked
in this work, which our author terms “the great
pioneer of the South in these enterprises,” is
made of its probable annual receipts, expendi
tures and prolits. — Cnar. Courier, 10 th iust.
Shocking Murder.—A few days since, Esqr.
M’Kinza of Hardeman county, missed a little
son live or six years of age. On interrogating
a negro girl in his employ, belonging to the es
tate of James 11. Sheppard, she informed him
that he had gone to a grocery, some short dis
tance off; lie made immediate search, but the
j lad could net be found. o win g t 0 a circum
stance that had transpired a tew weeks previous,
he became alarmed. He had a spring, with a
barrel sunk in it for the purpose of getting water
with more facility, in which the same girl said
she accidently found one ofhis younger child
ren, a little boy about three years of ag<-; but
from the place that the girl said she saw tho child
in the spring, and from what the little boy said
on being restored to animation, Esq. Mc’Kinza
was induced to believe the girl had put him in.
He then interrogated the girl again, and she told
him he had gone somewhere else; but he imme
diately repaired to the spring and found the lad
in the barrel, standing on his feet, with his head
under the water. The girl has since confessed
that for some trivial cause she induced him to
go into the barrel and that she held his head
under the water until he was drowned, She
now stands committed for trial.— Tem. Advo

Philadelphia and Trenton Rail Road. —This
highly, important work, says the Commercial
Herald, is progressing with unexampled rapidity.
The whole distance is 26 3-4 miles. The
grading for a double track was commenced in
the latter part of April, and the enterprising con
tractor, Richard Morris, has already completed
upwards of 15 miles. No doubt is now enter
tained that the remaining portion of the grading
and all the bridges and culverts on the line will
be finished this season. The laying of rails has
been commenced at Morrisville and Biistol; a
single track connecting those points, (about
9 1-2 miles,) will be ready for use by the Ist of
October. About one mile is already laid—The
superstructure is of wood, of the best quality,
laid on coarse gravel, with 2 1-2 by 5-8 rolled
iron plate rail. The construction of the super
structure varies some what from the mode in
common use. The transverse sills are of besi
white oak, 4 by 8, laid flatwise; and instead of
being notched, a cast iron chain secured to them
receives the longitudinal yellow pine i ail, which,
is kept firmly in its place by a spike on the one
side, and a thin edge on the other, The plan is
highly approved of by good judges who have
examined the work. The cost has so tar been
within the original estimate.
We take the following from the French Cour
ier du Hard of the 11th June. “About 10
o’clock last night, four young men of Uzes,
Messrs. G ,F , G ,and C ,none
of them more than 20 years of age, but noted
,or the violence of their philosophical and re
publican opinions, having come to an agreement
to destioy themselves, left a coffee house, where
they had “been carousing, each armed with a pis
tol, and carrying with them four bottles of wine
and a bottle of liquor, proceeded to the farm of
Air. G -,which was about a quarter of a
league from the town. Here they lighted a can
dle, and loaded their pistols, first coolly cutting
the balls, which were too large lor the barrels.
This being done, Mr. G , took out his watch
and found that it wanted 5 minutes to 11, the
hour at which they were to deprive themselves:
ol life. When the clock struck, he again t ok
up his pistol, upon which M. C proposed
that they should wa : t till midnight, to which llie
other replied, No! no! it is useless, I will show
you how the act is done. He then went to the
door, placed his pistol under his chin, drew the
triggei, and in an instant lay dead at the ti“*t of
his companions. The other M. G. then seized
his pistol, and said it is now my turn; but he was
stopped by C. who after some uitticulty prevail
ed upon him to desist, and by continued per
suasions at length overcame the resolution ofF.
also, who at first was inclined to resent with
violence the interference of C. The three sur
vivors then proceeded to acquaint the Procureur
du Roi with what had occurred, and at one ir.
the morning,the officers of justice proceeded to
lake ihe usual measures as to the disposal of the
oody of the deceased.”
