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 cate. 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.” Extraet from a letter dated, Louisville, Ky. Inly 25, —“ VVe lay three hours at Cincinnati, where the Cholera is severe.
