The effect of an entire abolition of debt. —
Every oliservor of human notions must have
noticed, that amongst individual men, tlierc
. is a difference in intellect, in physical power,
ia industrious habits, and in enterprise, which
render some far more etlicient than Others in
the accomplishment of the work to which
labor is directed. This diversity of qualifi
cations, no doubt, has an influence upon pa- 1
rents in the choice of professions and trades
for their sons, so as to put one apprentice to u
blacksmith, rather than to a watch-maker, or
to a tailor, rather than a ship carpenter, al
though oilier considerations also operate in
deciding upon the choice. liut of this we do
not propose particularly to speak. We wish
id call the reader’s attention to the fact, that
amougst individuals of the same calling,there
is a wide difference in the quantity of work
which different men can perform in the same •
time. Thus, an active bricklayer will lay
three thousand bricks in a day, whilst a bung
ling or a slow-moving one will not lay two
thousand. The estimation, therefore, of the
labor of a whole class, at so much a day, put*
1 ting them all on the same footing as to wages
would he an unjust mode of remuneration ;
sind hence vve find, that in all those branches
of business where the nature of the work will
admit of it, the workman is paid by the piece
or job, and not by the day. Every mechanic
is acquainted with this fact ; and, ns it is too
well known to require proof, we shall assume
it as the basis of an argument.
Now, under this view of Ihe case, would it
nqf at .first sight,appear as the efiect of this
difference in the power of production would
be to throw all the business into the hands of
the active, because they could work cheapest,
and to leave the rest to starve ? Such undoubt
edly would be the case, if it were not for two
important reasons: one is, that the class of
active persons cannot supply the whole de
mand—and the other is, that the slow-movers
and bunglers are the only customers that
those who cannot deal with the active ones
can find to take their products in exchange
for their labor. The result of this is, that
tiie prices of articles are somewhat higher
than they would he if all were equally active;
and thus the active class get a better reward
for their labor, whilst the others get some
thing less than they would have obtained had
all been alike active.
Similar to this disparity between individu
als, is the disparity between nations. Some
nations can produce particular commodities
more readily than others, and ean, therefore,
sell them at a cheaper rate ; and from this cir
cumstance, it is concluded, t>v many persons,
that, if our duties on foreign goods were
greatly reduced, the entire fabiication of simi
lar articles, in this count ry, would brveutirely
broken up. This, however, is not true. It
would not be possible for foreign countries lo
manufacture all the commodities that we re
quire, iu addition to these they now make ;
and even if it were possible lor them to man
ufacture them, it would not be possible for us
(o buy them with sudh productions as foreign
countries would be willing to take. If auv
one denies this, he places himself in adilem
ma fatal to the Restrictive philosophy; for, it
is very clear, that, if we can find the means
of paying for all the foreign manufactures we
require, it can only he by the employment of
domestic industry in agriculture, iu produ
cing the equivalents with which the goods are
to he paid for.
The truth is, that, if all the custom-houses
from Maine to Louisiana wertf to he swept a
wav at a blow, not more than one-tenth of the
cm dovments of the country would beinjuitd
by it in the slightest degree. The other nine
tenths would he benefitted, and the aggre
gate gains of those who would gain, would be
po much greate r than the aggregate losses of
those who would lose, that the latter would
not be more sensibly felt by the whole com
munity as a corporate body, than the loss of
a ship is felt by the stockholder* of the insu
rance company by which she is insured.
Tht! ultimo Ratio . —lt will be seen, by an
nrticlu in our paper of this day, that move
ments have commenced in Georgia, having
for their object measures of redress against
the operation of the Protective System. YVe
bane remarked, for some time past, that the
Southern papers have almost entirely ceased
to discuss the Restrictive Policy as a question
of Political Economy* They seem to consid
er the day for argument to have passed by,
and that the point in dispute between plant
ing States and the* manufacturing States is
now a sheer quesrioil of constitutional power.
Hence, instead of essays intended to prove
that protective duties make goods dear, and
operate as a tax imposed upon tho many for
t -: benefit of a few, vve seethe papers filled
v itiv discussions upon tho mode of o .tabling
redress in some other manner than scientific
reasoning. In these discussions the most
able men are engaged, some embracing and
others opposing the doctrine of Nullification ;
and wc will venture to assert that no man,
who reads these arguments, and observes the
spirit and feeling in which they are conduc
ted, can believe that tho crisis, so long fore
told, has been postponed by the measures n
fljpted at the recent session ofCongress— lb.
We find the following remark in the Penn
sylvania'Argus :
“Patriotism in the Went. —-An Indiana pa
per states that one Peter Altheiser, a member
Of Captain Yeagers company of Indiana Mil
ifia, a few days previous, cut off the fore lin

MU. VAN BUREN’S ACCEPTANCE.
Baltimore, May 22,1832.
Martin Van Buren, Esq.
Sut—At a Republican Convention,assem
bled in this place by previous appointment,
you have been nominated as a candidate for
the V ice Presidency, and presented to the
people as a suitable person to fill that high
and responsible office. That convention
lias constituted us the organ of communica
tion to you, of thisdistinguished mark of their
confidence. It gives us pleasure to inform
you that, that though there were other worthy
and favorite individuals of the democratic par
ty, sharing largely in their regard, and divi
dvg with you their confidence ; yet, when
the clear and ascertained will of the respec
tive delegations, indicated you as the prefer
red object of their wishes, evefy voice in the
convention united in the choice.
If the great Republican Party throughout
tho Union, shall continue faithful to the prin
ciples they have so long maintained, and be
animated by the same zeal and unanimity
which characterized their representatives in
the convention, and in a manner marked the
result of their proceedings, we have every
reason to congratulate you and our illustri
ous President, that there is in reserve for your
wounded feelings a just and certain repara
tion, and an ample retribution for the injury
meditated against the well-meant measures
of a Patriot, whose whole administration has
been exclusively directed to the advancement
of the public good.
We arc not unaware that our adversaries
affect to derive encouragement from tho di
versity of sentiments and interests which ex
ist among us : But wc confidently believe
that there is a disinterestedness of purpose
and strength of patriotism sufficient to meet
and overcome not only the difficulties arising
from this source hut also the powerful and
combined opposition arrayed against us. The
differences among us, which our opponents
havo regarded as serious divisions, and to
which they look with such fond expectations,
will yield we doubt not, to the dictates of pru
dence and a sense of political safety, and our
free institutions long be preserved.
The decided expression of the wishes of
the republican party, evinced through their
representatives in the convention, induces us
to calculate with confidence on your accept
ance of the nomination which wo are appoin
ted to make known to you.
With sentiments of personal respect, we are
your fellow citizens,

A. S. CLAYTON, f
KiMDmuioon; Aug. 3d, 1832.
Gentlemen :—l have hail the honor to re
ceive communication, advising me of
my nomination, by the Convention recently
assembled at Baltimore, as a esmdidate for
the olfice of Vice President of the U. States.
Previously to my departure from this
country, my naino had been frequently men
tioned in-connexion with that office. This
however was not done with my approbation;
on tho cotrary, when consulted on the subject,
I uniformly declared, that 1 was altogether
unwilling to he considered a candidate for
the station. To my friends, whenever oppor
tunity presented, the grounds of this unwill
ingness were fully explained ; and I left them,
ns I supposed', generally satisfied with my
course in tins respect, and resolved to recom
mend, and unite in, the support of some other
individual.
that peripd niv position has been
essentially changed, by the circumstances to
which, rather than to any superior fitness on
my part, I am bound to ascribe the decision
of tho convention, and the warmth and unan
imity of feeling with which it would seem to
have been accompanied. Viewing it in this
light,l cannot but regarJ this spontaneous ex
pression of confidence and friendship, from
the delegated democracy of tho Union, as lay
ing me under renewed obligations of grati
tude to them, and of fidelity to the great in
terests for whose advancement they were
assembled. I feel, also, that I should prove
myself unworthy of so much kindness, were
I to disregard those obligations, or to shrink
from any duties they legitimately imply.
Whatever my personal feelings and wishes
might otherwise have been, l cannot hesitate
as to the course which it now becomes me to
pursue, and 1 therefore cheerfully consent,
that the favorable opinion expressed be sub
mitted to the more deliberate judgement of
the American people.
That those who entertain tho same general
opinions in regard to the principleson which
government ought to he administered, should
sometimes disagree both as to measures and
to men, especially in a country whose inter
ests arc so diversified as our own, is to he
expected. It is to be hoped, however, that
nothing will Occur to impair the harmony and !
affection which have hitherto hound together,!
in one political brotherhood, the Republicans i
of the North and the South, the East and the!
West; and w hich, by cementing their union
and securing their concerted action, have
heretofore contributed so largely to the web
fare, of the nation. The differences to which
you have alluded, grow out of circumstances
not easily controlled ; yet I cannot but concur
with you in the belief that they inay be over
come,if our efi’orts are conceived in a generous
spirit ofconciliation,accompanied bv a sincere
determination not to sutler its operations to
be counteracted by personal prejudices or
local interests. That such efforts will be
made in every quarter of the Union, is not
to be doubted, and we have therefore no oc
casion to despair of the safety or permanence
of our free institutions. It is also most fortu
nate for the country, that, our public affairs are
under the direction of an individual peculiarly
qualified by his early and inflcxibfe devotion
to Republican principles, and by that moral
courage which distinguishes him from all
others, to carry the nation triumphantly
through the difficulties by which it is encom
passed. —Thoroughly convinced that tlicsta-
at&aasr
1 bility and value of our confederated system,
depend,under Providence, on a faithful adher
ence to those principles, I shall ever esteem
it a sacred duty, to give them on all occasions
my zealous support ; and 1 would humbly
hope that this motive, rather than (my other,
has led me to accept the nomination you have
tendered.
Accept, gentlemen, for yourselves, my
thanks for the kind manner in wich you have
communicated to me, the proceedings of the
dignified assembly over which you presided,
and believe me with the liveliest regard, your
friend and obedient servant.

Short answers to Tariff arguments. 1. If
a Tariff man says it is advantageous for a
country to protect its domestic industry, tell
him so it is, and it is for that reason you advo
cate Free Trade, for that, a? there are three
sorts of industry, agricultural, commercial and
manufacturing, you are opposed to any sys
tem which grants any especial favor to one
branch,at the.expense of the rest.
2. Ifliesavs that manufacturing industry,
which clothes the people, is alone entitled to
the appellation of domestic industry, tell him
that the ifidustry of the farmers, which feeds
the people, and gives them the raw materials
for their clothes, is also domestic industry,
and entitled.to as much consideration from
Government as any other.
3. If he*says that manufacturing industry
can he protected, by high duties, without in
juring agricultural and commercial industry,
tell him he has not examined the subject.
5. 1 flic says he has read Niles' Register
and the Address of Tariff Convention, tell
him he must read Adam Smith and the Free
Trade Memorial.
5. If he says ho has read them, ask him if
he has any manufacturing stock, or is con
cerned in iron mines or sug r plantations, or
is determined to have Henry Clay for Presi
dent nolens volens.
0 If he says that Political Economy is a
theory, tell him the most mischievous theory
in the world is the one which supposes that
Congress can regulate the trades and occupa
tions of the people better than they can do it
themselves.
7. If he says that a Tariff is not designed
to compel! people to follow particular trades,
tell him that, wnatever it may be designed
for, it has the effect of driving people out of
commerce and agriculture, into manufactures
and that in no other way can the forced manu
factures he supplied with labor and capital.
8, If he says that the labor and capital em
ployed by manufactures is not withdrawn
Iroin agriculture or commerce, but constitute
a dormant stock, which would, without the
stimulus oftho Tariff 1 , have been idle und un
productive, tell him there is no dormant capi
tal or labor in this country.
8. It he dema'nds of you to-prove this, tell
him that Batiks have no where at any time
had any difficulty in lending their capitals at
six per centum—that, if a city capitalist has
more than he can lend at. home, let him send
it into tho Western and Southwestern coun
try, where the demand for capital isso great
that all the merchants purchase their supplies
of foreign and domestic store goods in our
cities upon credit, thereby tymonstrating that
there is fall employment for tens of millions
of dollars at a higher rates of interest than six
per centum : for, if this wore not the case,
the merchants would pay cash for their goods
and avail themselves of the discount allowed
by the merchants for prompt payment, which
is never less than six per centum per annum.
In relation to dormant labor, tel! him that
you can prove there is no such tiling, except
when laborers are useless, by the simple fact
that there are, nowhere in this country, ex
ccpt occassiomally, in a few overgrown cities,
any able-bodied persons who have not at all
times supported themselves by labor of some
kind or other. The very limited lists of
able-bodied paupers in our different poor
houses,-exhibit tiie true extent of dormant
labor;and, in nine cases outof ten,as regards
these, no stimulus would set American indus
try in motion, but that of the tread-mill.
10. If he says that foreign commerce en
courages foreign industry, tell him that itcan
not possibly do this without affording an equal
encouragement to domestic industiy, and for
the very simple reason that we cannot import
a foreign article without paying for it with a
domestic article.
11. If he says we may pay for the foreign
article with specie, tell him that wc could not
get that specie but in exchange for some do
mestic article, and that, although the ex
change of flour for broadcloths may not be a
direct one, it is nevertheless, as real an ex
change as takes place in nine oqt of ten tran
sactions which every day occur in individual
life. Who doubts, when he secs a farmer
sell his grain for money, to the miller, and
sees him give that money for store goods,that
the store goods are in reality received in ex
change for his So unquestionably is
this transaction one of exchange, that, hadjt
not been for the knowledge of the merchant,
that this fanner would have grain to sell, and
, would want store goods, he would not have
: laid in a stock.
12. If he admits it to be true, that, for ev
ery dollar’s worth of foreign goods brought in
to the country, there must be sent out an equal
value of domestic goods, but insists that this
operation only gives employment to one do
mestic capital, whereas, had domestic articles
been produced, in the place of the foreign
ones, every exchange would give employment
to two domestic capitals, tell him that a man
cannot have any more than a cat and her skin
—that a child cannof eat its cake ami have it
too—that the same capital and labor which
furnish seventy millions of exports, cannot
furnish seventy millions of domestic manu-'
facturcs besides, to he exchanged for them—
that seventy millions of ex ports represent the
quantity of products left after feeding and
j clothing thirteen millions of people—and that
another surplus of seventy millions, to be ex
changed for them, would require anothc r
population of thirteen millions of people.

KENTUCKY* ELECTIONS.
In yesterday’s paper, we gave returns from
all the counties in Kentucky (< xcept twenty)
which left a majority of 1246 in favor of the
Clay candidate, Buckner. We then said
that the twenty counties, remaining to be
heard from, would give a majority of 1800
to Breathitt. The last night’s mail brought
returns Irotn ten of the twenty counties to
; which we referred, and vve find that the one
j ! u, {f gt' es the majority in favor of the Jack
i sox candidate which we anticipated fronS
the whofc, making a clear majority for Breath
itt over Buckner of 484 votes. The ten coun
ties which now remain to be heard from, wifi,
in all likelihood, increase this majority to
eiout hundred or a thousand. VVe give
the vote ol the counties brought in the mail of
yesterday below, and will be able, probably,
to present a complete summary of the whole
yote of the State, in our country paper on
Saturday.
The success of Mr. Breathitt is conclusive
proof of the increased popularity of the Presi
dent in Kentucky. Mr. Breathitt, who was
a candidate in 1828, lias now, we feel our
selves justified in saying, triumphed in the
election for the Chief Magistracy in Ken
tucky. This gentleman did not command in
1828 as high a vote as Mr. Barry, and while
the latter faileel in the election for Governor
in that year, General Jackson obtained a ma
jority immediately after, of nearly 800 for the
Presidency.
In the recent election, in some of the most
populous counties, under the umbrage of the
Bank, where the Clay party boast of having
acquired an accession of strength, the boast
is altogether fallacious. We give a state
ment of the vote in Fayette (Mr- Clay’s own
county) and the comities adjacent to it, to
prove this fact.

Clarke 9 56 849
Montgomery 770 743
Jessamine 614 668
Bourbon 1222 1104
6924 6551
In these counties, Mr. Clay’s immediate
neighborhood, and where his greatest strength
lies, it will he seen that so far from his gain
ing votes, lie has lost three hundred and sev
enty three. And yet Mr. Buckner’s majority
over Mr. Breathitt in these counties, is much
greater than that of Mr. Meteaife’s over Mr.
Barry, in tue same counties, in 1828.

Madison 548 727
• -
4656 8919
From these comparative statements, it is
clear that the Clay ticket has gained nothing
in those counties where his friends boast of
changes, but that tine apparent increase on the
Clay side, grows out of the fact, that Mr.
Breathitt’s popularity has not brought the
Jackson strength to the polls in this quarter
of the Stat:, as well as did Mr. Barry’s.— J
When the President, in person is to be voted j
for, the votes of the Republicans will be still j
more effectually rallied,than by either of those J
gentlemen. Nothing is better established by I
the experience of any election in the West,
than the tact, that Gen. Jackson embodies the
whole party much better than any individual
who has ever borne his standard in the local
elections. It is a common saying with the;
Hunters of Kentucky, that “Old Hickory,
like Old Eclipse, runs better than any of his
colts.”

Agreeably to previous notice, a Meeting
wgs i>clJ at Appling, by the citizens of Col
umbia comity, on the 23d instant, for the pur
pose of taking into consideration the evils of
the Protective System,and the mode and mea
sure of redress best calculated to preserve the
rights of the South, and the Union of the
States.
Col. Z. Williamson was called to the chair
an<J after an address from him, and some dis
cussion, the meeting was organized, and Au
gustus R. Wright, appointed Secretary.
On motion of Dr. \V. A. L. Collins, a Com
mittee of seven was appointed to whom was
referred the Resolutions passed at Athens,
and the Macon Circular, with instructions to
report upon the s.ame. The Chairman ap
pointed the following gentlemen to constitute
the Committee : Reuben Hill, Esq. Dr. N.
Crawford, Nathaniel Bailey, Esq. Isaac Ram
sey, Esq. Archer Avery, Esq. Pierson Pet
tit, Esq. an! John Cartledge, Esq. The
meeting then adjournedjbr one hour and a
half.
At 3 o’clock, P. M. the Meeting again con
j vened, and the majority os the Committee de
! dared their readiness to report; and John
Cartledge Esq. in behalf of himself, I. Ram
sey anil A. Avery, Esqr?. presented a report
from the minority, and requested that it might
bo read, immediately after that of the majori
ty. Both reports were accordingly read to
the meeting, and after a long discussion, in
which Dr. Collins, W. Hobby, Esq. P. Pettit
Esq. and V> in. B. Tankersley, Esq. partief
pated, the following Report and Resolutions
of the minority of the Committee, was, on mo
tion of John Cartledge, Esq. seconded by Dr.
Collins, adopted by the meeting.
The minority of the Committee, to whom
was referred the Resolutions of the Public
Meeting, held at Athens, on Wednesday the
Ist inst., and the Circular of the Committee
of Correspondence appointed by that meeting
to give effect to those resolutions, beg leave
to report, that they have liad the same under
consideration, and concur in the sentiments
tiicy express, and deem it advisable to adopt
the measures they recommend. Your Com
mittee will not dilate, on the present occa
sion, upon that unjust, iniquitous, and uncon
stitutional system of oppression, under the
operation ■of which, the industry of the South
has been so long borne down, and its prospe
rity crushed. Their chief object is to state,
emphatically, their deliberate opinion, and
sucli seems to he the almost universal sen
liintmt of Georgia, that all expectation ot the
abandonment of the Protective System, by
those who assume to be our taskmasters,must
now be given up. Our only hope of recov
ering our rights, and vindicating the Consti
tution of our country, rests upon the wisdom
and firmess of our own measures.
The minority of your Committee can sug
gest no plan, so weil calculated to ensure that
Union, among ourselves and our sister States
upon which,* under God, the destiny of the
South now depends, as the one proposed by
that meeting, to which their consideration
has been directed. If any additional induce
ment were wanting, than the character of the
measures proposed, it would be found in the
fact, that many of the influential members of
every party in the State, concurred in their
adoption, at the time they were first suggest
ed ; and that they have since been promptly
responded to, by our fellow citizens in Ogle
thorpe, Bibb, and Jasper counties, and will
doubtless receive a similar response, from a
vast majority of the people of this State. Be
lieving that the citizens of Columbia county,
are also disposed to sacrifice on the Altar of
Patriotism, all minor and merely local divis
ions, the minority of your committee, respect
fully offer to the consideration of this meet
ing, the following Resolutions :
Ist. Resolved, That the citizens of Colum
bia county concur with their fellow citizens,
at Atliehs, ori the Ist instant, in the expedi
ency of having a State Convention, to be as
sembled at Milledgcville, on the 2d Monday
in November next, invested with full powers
in behalf of the good people of Georgia, to
maintain, preserve and defend, the rights and
privileges of the free citizens of this State.
2d- Resolved, That the people of this coun
ty will, on the first Monday in October next,
elect three delegates (the number correspond
ing with our present delegation in the House
of Representatives) as recommended by the
Macon Circular, to represent them in said
Convention.
3d. Resolved, That be ap
pointed a Committee of Correspondence, to
correspond and confer with similar commit
tees in other counties, and with the Central
Committee of the State, in reference to the
great objects contemplated by the above res
olutions.
The blank in the third resolution was, on
motion of John Cartledge, Esq. seconded by
Isaac Rainsey, Esq. filled up with the names
ofGoorgc W. Hardwick, Esq. Jas. Luke, Esq.
Dr. W. A. L. Collins, and Wensley Hobby;
On motion, Resolved, That Andrew Jack
sen deserves the gratitude of his countay, for
the late firm discharge of his constitutional du
ty, arid will receive the support of this meet
ing, and of this State, for President of the U
nited States.
Resolved, That the Proceedings of this
Meeting be signed by the Chairman and Sec
retary, and that they request the insertion of
the same, in every public gazette of this State.
The meeting then adjourned.
