DAILY TRUE PUBLISHED BY Kennickell, Taylor, Divin^M JAMES M. SMYTHE, Edl AUGUSTA, GA. SUNDAY MORN TNG, NOV. 18, 1800. CAMPAIGN SUBSCRIBERS. We thought of addressing a few words so our Campaign subscribers. But what shall We say ? The campaign for which you were kind enough to enlist with us terminated in your defeat by the worst enemies you hare n earth. Another campaign is about to be gin. Wo should like to go through that in company with you. Think of it and letus hear from you at once. Our part of it at present is more expensive than yours. We hare to expend now between five and six hundred dollars a month. We look to the patriots in Georgia and other Southern States to help us to beßr it. The 20th of November is close at hand when Campaign subscriptions expire. Wc invite our friends, one and all, to send on their names for the ensuing yean Kennickell, Taylor, Divine A Cos., I Proprietors. ‘ Augusta, Ga., November 13th, 16C0. ‘ . ———-•- The Secession Movement. The whole South is in a blaze. It would be impossible for us to find room for the pro ceedings of one-fiftieth part of the meetings which have been held to express sentiments of resistance M inauguration ns the ruler of the people oT , tlie South. It is abso lutely certain, if there be any truth in signs, that South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi will withdraw from the Union. Georgia, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas will follow. Prolapsus fatu, the other southern States must unite with their seceding sisters. The IliMininiii-t A brief treatise upon the evils of the Un ion between the North and the South, and the propriety of separation and the formation of Southern United States, by Herb-rt Fielder, Esq., of Georgia. above is taken from the title page of a work, wc arc indebted to the kindness of the author. We are, also, further indebted to him for permission to make extracts for publication in the True Democrat, of which we shall avail ourselves. W T c commence to-day the publication of Chapter VII, and will continue it until it is completed. We have glanced hastily through its jiages—72 in number—and most heartily commend it to public attention as a work of much merit and eminently suited to the times. Portions of its statistical matter do not correctly represent the present condition of the facts to which they refer. They were correct, however, in 1858, when the work was issued, and fairly illustrated the points of the argument Figures have changed, but facts are the same. ’ Thffiollowing are the contents: Preface; Introductory remarks—Changes of public opinion: Origin and purposes of the Union ; Changes of the country and people; Influ ence of office and party ; Sectional party— Checks of Government; Employments, pro ducts and resources of the South ; The ex pense of government from whom the money is raised, and for whose benefit expended; Anti-slavery aggressions; Kansas question; African slavery—Scriptural view of slavery —effects upon the slave—effects upon the social condition of the white race—political effects of slavery; our northern friends; northern-born citizens of the South ; south ern co-operation ; secession ; conclusion. “The Dxscnionist” is for sale at the Book Store formerly of Wm. Kay, at Atlanta, Ga., at exceedingly cheap prices. Northern Anxiety. - Some of the Northern journals are calling loudly upon Mr. Lincoln to issue a concilia tory address to the people of the South. Mr. Lincoln originated the “irrepressible conflict” theory. Will lie declare in his ad dress, his abandonment of that doctrine ? He says the States cannot continue “half free and half slave.” Will he take the back track nd say they can? He has contended that Congress possesses the power, and should exercise it, to prevent the introduction of slavery into any new territory. Will he say that Congress does not possess the power, or, if it docs, should not use it, and that the ter ritories should be open to all alike, citizens of the South as well as the North ? If he will not, or caunot stultify himself by reversing his former positions, what kind of concilia tion ciui lie propose ? woe put upon a platform of avowed hostility to the Soufh, and was elected to carry it out. He was not forced upon that platform against his own wishes. It was not made for him a Procrus tean bed. As far as it went, it was in exact accordance with his oft-repeated opinions. The platform suited him, and he suited the platform. It was a complete fit all around. Is Mr. Lincoln, then, to repudiate his well known and long entertained pri iciples ? Could the South trust him with the poisonous slaver of treachery upon his lips ? Ilis pre tended recantation of hostile opinions, would only make more palpable his guile. His tongue, then, would be as treacherous as his judgment had been wrong, and his heart des titute of moral and political rectitude. Mr. Lincoln can offer no conciliation to the South but sugar-coated treachery, and that not to his anti-slavery friends, but to his Southern brethren, should*f*thcy be stupid enough to become hie dupes. If there are any persons South who are desirous that Mr. Lincoln should aid them in their Union devo tions, perhaps they may beJVijsappointed. The New York Tribune recently said : “The rumors afloat of a letter written by i the President elect, intended to soothe the I nerves of those who have persistently de- i policy by this eiection^^^^JP^K^ “If Lincoln should one of the t’ro results is certain, either the part of the South, OR ELSE ITS TO THE DOMINION OF THE ANTI-SLAVERY SENT I MENTOR TIIF. NORTH.” [ Indianapolis Sentinel It is useless to speculate on the result.. a few weeks we will know whether the effect will be advantageous or injurious to the country. We shall know whether the citizens of the slavehoiding States will acquiesce in the overwhelming decision of their Northern breth ren, THAT SLAVERY MUST BE EXTIN GUISHED. There is no longer any room for dodging. The question has been fairly put to the people of the free States, and as far as public sentiment has reached us, they have by large majorities DECI DED THAT NEGRO SLAVERY IS NOT AU THORIZED BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, AND THAT IT MUST BE EXTINGUISHED. The edict has gone forth, AM) THE SOUTHERN STATES MUST EITHER SUBMIT OR ARRAY THEMSELVES AGAINST THE UNION.— The time for conpromise is past; there can be no mure!—Pittsburg Post, (Douglas.) .Leo, a correspondent of the Charleston (fqurier says : • The President and Cabinet feel more easy’ now in regard to their own responsibility for action in this crisis, inasmuch as nothing is likely to occur which will demand their ac tion till after Congress shall have met. They will then throw the whole responsibility for measures to meet the crisis upon Congress. You will notice that the Jackson “Force Bill” of 1832 has expired by limitation, and that there is no Inw in existence which now empowers and emnblcs the President to bring force to bear for the purpose even of enforc ing the Revenue Laws of the United States | against resisting State authorities, Lr.m^ John It. Thompson, Esq. J We read, with regret, in yesterday’s issue of the Field and Fireside, the valedictory of | Mr. Thompson, whose connection with it. as ! Editor, ceased with that number. Mr. T brought to the paper an exalted reputation as a man of letters nnd a writer and critic. He retires from it with no diminution, but an in crease of fame among our people, whose ver dict has been universally favorable to its con duct under his able and brilliant manage ment as Editor of the Literary Department. We feel that Mr. Thompson's retirement (he returns to Virginia) will be a loss to our State. May prosperity attend him and hap piness always. Mr. James N. Ells, his successor, is a young man of taste, ability and skill, and, with the aid of the Proprietor, will make it worthy of the patronage of our people. We trust they will encourage it, abundantly, with their smiles : With the present number, my editorial con nection with the Field and Fireside is brought to a close. Circumstances with which the public are not concerned, and of which it need only be stated that they involve no mis understanding between literary editor and proprietor, have rendered necessary a change in t lie conduct of the paper. In withdraw ing from a position which has been in all re spects so agreeable to me, I cannot forbear offering my thanks to the press and the pub lic for the indulgence with which my humble labors have beeu received, nor can 1 withhold a grateful acknowledgment of the personal kindness which lias been extended to me, a stranger, by the hospitable citizens of Augus ta. For years a zealous though unworthy votary of letters, in the South and for the South, with every feeling and aspiration for the intellectual advancement of the Southern people among whom I was born, I cannot be indifferent to the future success of the Field and Fireside, which I commend, ns a parting word, to the cordial support of every son of the soil. That it will be worthy of a gener ous encouragement, the public have a suf ficient assurance in the fact that my successor, Mr. James N. Ells, who has discharged the duties of assistant editor with zeal and abili ty since the paper was first established, will have, in its management, the supervisory as sistance of the proprietor, whose accurate critical taste and experience in journalism eminently qualify him for any literary po sition lie may assume. Jxo. R. Thompson. The Expense of Government-—at Whose Expense the Money Is Raised, and for Whose Benefit Expended. CHAPTER VII. From the year ending June 30th, 1850, the whole receipts of the United States Treasury amounted to $73,918,141 40; of which $9,- 917,044 93 was from the sale of public lands, and the sum of $977,033 03 from incidental and miscellaneous sources, and the balance, the enormous sum of $04,022,803 50, arose from the receipts of customs, which means the tax or duty imposed by our government upon articles imported from foreign countries, which tax is paid for the privilege of bringing in the articles, and is usually called the tariff. To show how this money is raised and paid out is the object of this chapter. In order to bring tiic remarks down to the comprehen sion of all, it may be excusable to premise some general rules nnd principles, with which the more intelligent reader is supposed to be already familiar. When any class or section of our people are in the habit of producing for market any given article, and the same article is produced for market in any foreign country that carries on commerce with us, it begets competition between the two sets of producers of that article as to the sale of it. Each seeks to sell the article to and supply such of our people as do not produce it. By the laws of tlie United Stales, the people can transport goods nnd property of every kind (except slaves) from one section to another, and from one State to another, without hav ing to pay any tux or tariff for the privilege of introducing and selling the goods. If those producing the goods in other countries did not have to pay any tax or tariff’ for the privilege of bringing in and selling their goods, the competition would be on equal terms; and those who wish to buy the article could, at their option, apply to whichever of fered the best bargain in price or quality. But when this tax is imposed upon the for eigner for the privilege of bringing in bis goods, he has to add that tax, whatever it be, to the price of his goods before lie offers them for sale, and it raises the price to the buyer just whatever the lax amounts to.— I That gives (lie homo producer of that class of goods, and of course the privilege to ask j and receive his own price for them, ’t he es- ■ feet of the tariff in that case is to exclude foreign goods from our markets, and to en- j rich the home producer at the expense of the } Bnn consumer, by cutting off a) competi- Bn. That is what is called a rohibitive H ill. Os course a prohibitive t riff ra ses to the government, liecau 3 nothing in to be taxed. Therefore, this gov long since found it m jessary to that system. •Bin lieu of the prohibitive systeu we have what is called a revenue tariff, wl ch means a tax imposed upon the importatioi of foreign goods, not so high as to exclude them, but low enough to induce the foreign pmducer to bring in liis goods and pay the tax. That tax is paid at the custom-houses w\ere the goods are brought in, and is collectedpy Uni ted States officers and paid into the United States Treasury, and is called revenue wiiich revenue or money belongs to the gove nment. When a foreigner or American i iporler brings in his goods and pays the tax, le adds the sum paid at the custom-house to t e price of his goods, or the price for which Se could have, (forded them without the tax. Although the importer pays the revenue du(y at the custom-house, still it comes out of tie pocket of the man who ultimately buys tint goods to use or consume. This tariff, imposed upon the importation of goods from abroad, and which the home producer docs not have to pay, ensiles him to raise the price of his goods of the same class, quality, and value, just to tlf extent of that tariff. So in any case, whither we buy foreign imported goods with the tariff added to the price of them, or the articles made in the country at a price advanced in consequence of the tariff, the evil is tfae same, and the expense of the operation is paid by the consumer- J ML Hence it may lpe incontestably assert c|Thar alt Tariffs or taxes upon arc advantageous to the American producer of the article upon which it is levied, and disad vantageous to the American consumer of that article, in proportion to the extent of the tar iff’ or tax imposed. This is class legislation, and injurious onerous to those against whom the utiou is made in proportion to 1110 which it is carried. It’ if is on'rt f>i “ -cut j n a million of dollars’ worth, it is Wrong to that extent. If it is twenty-four cents in the dollar, it is wrong to that extent. Take, for example, the article of iron, which, under the Tariff Act of 1857, (see vol. 1 Brightley’s Digest, page 34(3.) pays twen y-four per cent, ad valorem. If a far mer in Georgia wishes to buy one hundred dollars’ worth of iron to make nxcstofell the trees, wedges to split the rails, and ploughs and hoes to till the soil, should he choose to buy it from England, be cannot get it at the Liverpool price, with the cost of transporta tion and the profits of the importing mer chant added, making one hundred dollars, laid down to him in New York or Sayannah; but he has to pay, in addition thereto, the twenty-four dollars which the importer paid at the custom-house for the privilege of bring ing in the iron, which added to onekundred and twenty-four dollars. No farmer in Geor gia would give the Pennsylvania iron produ cer one hundred and hventy-four dollars for his lot of iron, if he cquld get the same arti cle from England for one hundred dollars.— The Pennsylvania iron-man will not sell to the Georgia farmer the lot of iron for one hundred dollars, when, in consequence of the tariff, he knows it cannot be had from En gland for less than one hundred and tvrenty four dollars. In that case the amount of advantage or protection to the iron-man is twenty-four dollrrs, and the disadvantage suffered and the tribute paid by the Georgia farmer is twenty-four dollars, ‘if he bay the English iron, his twenty-four dollars is paid to the government: if he bought the home article, it is a tribute authorized by that gov eminent—by Georgia to Pennsyluania. This example of iron is not peculiar and we shall see as we progress who pays the government revenue and the tribute. [to tie continuen.] Treason ! Treason !! A friend sends us a copy of the petition sent by Horace Greeley and others to the Legislature in 1858, praying for resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law. Here it is. It is rank treason to the Constitution. It seeks to place our State in conflict with Federal authority. It even goes so far as to say that no federal officer or federal Court shall have jurisdiction in this matter of fugitive “slaves.” MH f U “The undersigned, citizens of the Slate of New York, respectfully ask you to enact that no person, who lias been held as a slave, SHALL BE DELIVERED UP, BY ANY OF FICER OR COURT, STATE OR FEDERAL, WITHIN THE COMMONWEALTH, to any one claiming him. on the ground that he owes service or labor to such claimant, by the lairs of one of the slave States of this Union.” HORACE GREELEI, Thomas Daily, Wm. Braybook, Lockwood R. May. I>. F. Miller, Wm. Whipple, llcnry Dexter, Lyman Parkhurst, Geo. M. Thomas. R. Smith. B. F. Wait, Samuel E. Fisher, 1). E. Wilson, Horace Ford, Anson W. Phillips. Wm. B. Porter, James Scamon, David W. Cole. Wm. Laberson, M. S. Todd, A. S. White, Lyman White, Asa White, John I*. Wood, Chas. If. Austin. There, that is a petition to annul the Con stitution of the United States—to dissolve I the Union—to bring on civil wav. Sc.. &c. j What do the voters of New York think of it? Let it be remembered that this same man ‘ Greeley nominated Lincoln.— Day Hook. j The man who hesitates to express his opin ions now, and to give his advice now, about what Alabama—the South—shall do, is un worthy to occupy the position of counsellor —unworthy to lead in the chase when braver men have sprung tiie game. We hear men pretending to be southern rights, sheltering themselves behind the action of the Conven tion that is expected to be called by the Gov ernor of Alabama. They will abide the ac tion of the Convention whatever that may be, but don't want to “ forestall its action ” just now. We suppose there is about as much virtue in that as there is in submitting to any other necessity. And we think that those who hold their southern rights in nubibus un til the Convention lias lifted the cloud which veils the future action of the State, possess es about as much of it as might reside in the soul es the minutest microscopic ammalculae. Tell me not you are a friend to the South, he you a pretending fire cater or secessionist, unless you openly and honestly give to your fellow-southerners your advice and counsel in this crisis. Wc want no waiting for pop ular indications—we want patriots and brave men to direct popular indications, not to fol low them. More especially is it a duty de volves upon those who have been commis sioned to lead in any degree to give the word and point the way. If the press has a mis sion, it is not to follow in the wake of public opinion, in times of peril to the State, but to lead it. A timid and hesitating press can more harm the cause it pretends to espouse than an army of open opponents. If the southern press falters now nnd hesitates, the cause of the South is lost and—forever. It never had so glorious a mission—it never had imposed upbn it such momentous rcsponsibili i ties. The Mexican cavalry that made the eiiarge upon the Mississippi Regiment at the : battle of Buena Vista, when they halted to ■ wait the result of the first volley of the ene my before them, sold their lives and a victo ry to that fatal caution, which sometimes becomes the excess of rashness. So with the southern journals now, if they falter to see how the fight has gone before they mount their charger, they will only mount to fly with the retreating hosts who might have been pursuers instead, but for the slavish fears of their friends that kept them away from the field of battle until the day was lost. [Mobile Mercury. Understands the Thing.— We see from the Journal of Commerce that Wendell Phil lips made a speech in Boston on the 7tli. Phillips said : “John Brown was behind the curtain, [at the Chicago nominating Convention.] and the cannon ol’ March 4 will only echo the rifles at Harper’s Ferry.” And, in another place— “ You sec exactly what my hopes rest upon. Growth ! The Republican party liave under taken a problem, the solution of which will force them on to our position. Not Mr. Seward’s “Union and Liberty,” which he stole and poisoned from Webster's “Liberty and Union.” No; their motto soon will be— “ Liberty first” —a long pause—then “Union afterwards.—[Applause and a solitary hiss.] . In other words, Phillips secs that the Re publican party by the Ij—xof its own exist ence must be pressed the i)iisiiji\u^Wr* the John Brown more conservative party will be ut terly powerless its descent to the lowest depths of radical abolitionism.
