ijLj i -- meets with losses—whether he ncrer aseepts 'rafts *’i ®pon him. w thout a single bale of cotton in his warehouse for Ins security —and whether money or produce is always trmiued in time to meet the payment of those drafts ? To ] I, ,<t. “ A Planter” should have taken all this in conside ■jf.-.on. He should have called on the warehouse keep- j fr-. and request them to show him, by their books , the j )sscs they have sustained, and tho charges they have to B ( r, and which are not placed to the debit of those who A;ore cotton in their warehouses, “ A Planter” does not into consideration, the capital which me warehouse ■ Jteeper mu-t keep constantly on hand, and consequently jj for a mare or less time, to meet the daily or weekly . Remands of their customers'. “A Planter” is certainly i e.varc that this money is not obtained without interest |j *• A P, in:tr’.ought certainly to be aware that the ad vances made to the planters, are obtained from the banks; arnt the notes discounted most be paid at maturity, or ten<-wr d; and that the cotton remtins in store frequently ■ f>r months. “ A Planter” does not take into considera- A.ou. 'hr risk run by the warehouse keepers, from the 1 ipßuctuar: >ns of the cot»n market, and the immense losses; fihcy have stiff red by the sudden changesof that market: the warehouse keeper make advances on Cotton at the I'm ark ’ price. A fall takes place, of one, two, three, orj § four cents, or more. By the sale of the cotton at the re ■sl iced price. would this warehouse keeper receive the ■ amount of his advances and charges? Certainly not; anti ; 1 we are almn-t certa.n that, if the books of the warehouse } 1 keepers were inspected, there would be found many bal-1 ■ nncesilue fur advances made when cotton was at a high-; Ser price than when it was ordered to be sold. And yet I ■“A Planter” says, that the warehouse keepers have i W grown rich. We are not sufficiently acquainted with the ■ means of the warehouse keepers of Augusta, nor with if the amount of property thev own; but common attention ■ to the business of this class of the citizens, induces us to ■ observe, that we know of not one warehouse keener, I who has been able to retire from business with a compc -8 ten»*y, and become independent of the world. Common justice has led us to make these remarks, i I: there arc errors in our statements, they arc our own, B f,.r we have not requested any information from any one I of the warehouse keepers upon the subject ; and if any i B thing we have said is found objectionable, we are an i nwerablc for it, and no one else. We have not touched B upon the subject of the rates : we arc not sufficiently $ Acquainted with the warehouse business, and all the oharges incident to It, to judge of the reasonableness or exorbitance of those rates: we confined ourselves to those circumstances which are well understood by al most every body, and especially by the merchants. » oi E t ISIS. We arc surprised that our brethren of the North, who] 'I Under-land their interest so well, should be so tenacious for a restrictive trade, and a prohibitory tariff. Instead I ol inducing the South, by a w ise and equitable policy, to I consume nothing but the productions of their manufac- I turcs, they appear to do every thing in their power to I induce us to follow a contrary cohre. If they were not I blinded by the sophistry of a few leading politicians, and i guided by the artful and interested advisement of a few I nvanuf.ictur rs, whose selfishness look only to present advantages, without regard to the future welfare of [ the country; they would certainly abandon apian which • must eventuate in the severance of the bands which uniie the si vcr tl sections of the country together, by ( dc troying the mutual esteem, respect, and good will, • which still exist to a certain degree, betwecji the people [ of the North and the people of the South, Those few politicians and manufacturers consider only the time pre sent, and the gratification of their ambition, and of their ! inordinate desire for wealth and power. They do not , cons; Icrthc future. But the people of the North, whose lutcllL'cuce is proverbial; who are remarkable for their uentenc-s, discernment, and honesty of purpose; that they should lot themselves bo managed in the manner timy have been for some years past, is, indeed, surpris. l ing to us. Let us reflect a little upon this subject, and s. e how mutters stand, and should stand, between the people. us the North and the people of the South. A good understanding between the two sections of tlf . ountry, ami, especially. Free Trade, would make them both prosper at the same nine. This is evident. The people ol the North are more enterprising and in dustrious; the climate, the habits of the people, and their . iricultural productions, naturally lead them to pur sue mitigation, commerce, and manufacture, with more) mieco-s and better advantage than wo could inthe South. They can furnish us with shipping and manufactured ar ticles at a cheaper rate than we could supply ourselves > by our own me ms and with our own manfactures, were we to establish any on a large scale. We are therefore dept mi ant upon them for those means which arc abso lutely necessary for a transportation of our surplus pro ducts to a market, and for those necessaries of life which I S we c mnot manufacture ourselves to the same advantage, | in comparison with the advantages we could derive from) our agricultural pursuits, if we had .Free Trade ; for ! being essentially agricultural, the Southern States would! pre cr to continue M pursue this branch of industry, al most exclusively, because they are accustomed to it, 1 than to ctnpl >y their labour and capital in manufactures, j which can he made profitable only after some experience in them, and to which they will be compelled to resort, in | st !;-defence, should the restrictive policy be continued] much longer. On the other hand, the climate of thoj ISouth, and the nature of her productions, render the j North depend ant upon the South, for the means to carry on trade with Europe, and for raw materials for their] manufactures, which the South is willing to support, in- 1 stead of the manufactures of Europe, on equitable prin. 1 ciplcs and fair prices. Without the North, the South] would depend on foreigners for shipping to carry her: surplus products to market, and for a supply of manu-i factured articles. Without the South, the North would] not be able to carry on such an extensive trade with Eu- 1 rope, and even with the other parts of the world, as she does at the present time. It must be admitted that there is a mutual depcndance between the North and the South, and their interests, though in fact of a different nature, arc so identified, that they cannot well be sepa rated without seriously Injuring the one or the other. We have briefly state! the case, as wo think it stands, leaving it to the intelligence of the reader to extend the remarks to the length he pleases : for a great deal could be said upon the subject. The interests of the two sections being identified, find both parties being mutually dependant upon one another, it necessarily follows, that whenever the inter cst of one section is injured, the same degree of injury is felt by the other section. Should the navigation, commerce, and even, manufactures of the North, be seriously injured by the policy of the government of die Union, we have no doubt, that the South would se riously feel the injury. Should the agricultural interest Os the South be materially injured, we have not a sin gle doubt, that the navigation, commerce and manufac tures of the North, would bo materially injured. If we, in the South, can find good markets for our agri cultural products, arc wo alone bonefitted 7 No. Who furnish ships to carrv away these products to those markets ? Bv whom are the ships navigated 7 By producing those agricultural means,* which the north ern ships carry to foreign markets, we enable our north ern brethren to go into the torost for timber to build their ships ; we enable the iron masters, sail-makers, car penters, risers, and a host ot trades and manufac turers, to work profitably, and earn an honest livelihood lor themselves and family. Without our agricultural products, would the navigation, commerce, and, even, manufactures of the North, have rendered that section of the Union so prosperous ? No. If the value of our production is destroyed, by an exorbitant tariff ol du ties cn imports, we sutler, but do not those who are in- Trtcsted in the navigation and conftnercc of the coun- ;r y stiifef also * Cot thinly -they do. Ws samot con-1 sume the same quantity of northern manufactures, as ; formerly we could, because we have not the means of j aaying tor them ; and we cannot employ the same nma- ( aer of ships, because we are not permitted to import I j ihe foreign manufactures which we were in the prac- ‘ tice of exchanging for cur surplus products, owing to a r prohibitory tariif, >vhich compels us to buy northern a manufactures at an enormous profit to the rnanufactur- ;j ers, while our agricultural produdts have depreciated in value as much as this enormous profit amounts to. ' f When trade was free, and unshackled by prohibitory r laws, a profitable business was carried on between the [ South and the North; there was a lively intercourse be- 1 3 tween the two sections of the country; contentment pre- j vailed every where, and mutual good will, friendship, and ; v respect, were exhibited, whenever our northern breth- j ren visited us, or established themselves among us ; and jv whenever we visited them on business or pleasure, a hearty welcome was always expected and cheerfully giv- jo en. How is it now? A selfish policy has been adopted ja by the North, to the serious injury of the South; a per- \fj tinacity in that policy has excited angry feelings in the It breast of the citizens of the South. And the consequence j is, that a spirit of hostility pervades the minds of the peo- i} : pie of this country against one another. The same wel- j y come in the North is not extended to the citizens of the i .South as formerly. Language unbecoming men, and ! members ot the same political family, is lavishly used; | taunts, insults, and threats are employed, when polite!? attention, respect and good will, -were once extended, j This kind ol treatment in the North of the citizens of the c .south, has led to retaliation in this section of the Union. r We use towards our Northern brethren, a language as j c unbecoming as theirs ; we threaten them with a separa- y tion from the Union ; we abuse them for their selfish- j j ness, and their unnatural policy. \\ e do not greet , < them, when they come among us, with that cordiality jj which is the wonted characteristic of southern manners, j r Can such a state of things last lortg, without producing ! y serious evils ? Cmwe be continually at enmity, ami s in opposition to each other in the federal legislature, |[ and yet remain united under the same government? j- Impossible. Then, let all good men—all patriots—in i [ the North, in the South, and in the West, unite; let t them concentrate all their exertions to accomplish a re- v conciliation, and the country is saved, and the Union is ( preserved. The several sections of the Union have v different interests ; but these interests can be so protect- e ed and so managed, as that they can aid each other in c acquiring a competency lor every citizen, and in produ- cing contentment throughout the land. If deaf to all our remonstrances, to all our entreaties, ( to all our warnings, the people of the North should wil- llngly continue to bo guided by the pernicious counsel t of ambitious and designing men and selfish rnanufactur- i ers, then the blame for all the evils which a mischiev ous policy has produced and will inevitably produce, j will fall on diem, and not on the people of die South, \ who have so far contented themselves, with written ap peals, to the forbearance, generosity and patriotism of r their northern brethren. When they find that these ap- f peals continue to be of no avail, that they are still dis regarded and contemned, that the manufacturers still ] persist in a policy which must render the people of the South tributary and vassals to the manufacturers, they will certainly adopt other means to prevent, if they can, j; absolute ruin, and the subjection of their States to mis- 1 rule, anarchy and despotism. The elections are ap- i f preaching for a new Congress, and for a Chief Magis- ; j tratc of the Union. Let the people of the North show, 1 1 through the ballot box, how far they are willing to go, i | and meet the people of the South, on fair and equitable ;; grounds, and there amicably arrange all differences, as men belonging to the same country, and living under the same government, should do, in order to preserve our p happy Union, that Union which has made us the first re- j ■ public in the world, and which, if properly supported j and administered, cannot fail to impart contentment and | plenty to all* | The subject Under consideration is of deep moment to the country. • We cannot extend our remarks upon it more than we have done ; a newspaper does not admit j of very long articles. But we think we have said e nough to excite public attention. \\ oul Jto Heaven ev. ery citizen determine to contribute what lie can—•& every citizen can do something—in order to give a salutary di ruction to tire crisis ! * The domestic exports, for the year ending Septern tember 3d, 1831. amounted to $61,277,057. Os these exports, the article of Cotton a'one amounted to $25,- 283,402. to which are to he added the exports in Tobacco, Rice, Flour, Nival Stores, ij -c T The total amount of exports , the produce of the agriru'turc of the South . may be estimated at $40,000,000. The exports of the Nirth, in manufactured Cotton, during the same year, amounted to $1,120,313.

Young, Esq. appointed Secretary, i the following preamble and resolutions were a dopted : Whereas, the citizens of Georgia, have wait ed patiently, and looked with anxiety, to the I late session of Congress, for relief from an un equal, unconstitutional, and oppressive Tariff; but this, their reasonable hope, has been disap : pointed. An adjournment lias taken place, un jder the distinct annunciation, that this odious!

JOHN MOORE, Chairman. ■1 Geo. H. Young, Sec'rp, Prom the Georgia Pouriest, SOUTHER* TARIFF. The proprietors of ware-houses iti Augus’a, j having fixed on a “ revised” impost upon all produce and merchandize, admit ied into their s “ ports;” ir becomes the duty of “ the Southern |j grower,” to look to this “ Cwmbtuation” and ji see how far it will, if submitted to, affect their i; interes s. And if I mistake not, it will be prov- ji ed to be, one of the most extravagant schemes! for shaving the planter, ever attempted in this, < or an v o;her community. As a proof of which, ■ I will suppose a country merchan or planter, sends to a ware-house, ten bales cot’on, averag ing 300 pounds, and worth 9 cen's a pound, it would come to $270 And, asis common, suppose the wagon that carried these 10 bales, is to be loaded back with Salt, Su gar, Iron, Bagging, Sec. 6zc. to the amount of $250. The charge for buying these, would be, according to the “revised” prices $5 00 For advancing, tho’ the ware house man, could, and probably would, buy without cash. 5 00 Sales on tho ten bales, 5 00 35 to 40 days storage on ditto, 375 18 75 i Nett profits, 8251 25 Making the unheard of charge, of seven per cent, on the planter, for a business of 35 to 40 days, and that too, without advancing a Cent in cash. Carry this calculation forward and it will appear that every planter, who sends 100 bales of cotton to a ware-house, pays, under this “revised” impost, a tax or duty of seven entire bales. Is this reasonable ? Will it be endur cd ! I, for one, will resist it, and strongly ad vise my planting brethren to do the same. I submit a calculation, on a business of twelve thousand bales, more than which number, ou an average, I presume the ware-house, transact, ing business with country merchants and plan ters, annually receive, and let us see the result. Storage, 12000 bales, 35 to 40 days, which time Cotton will at least remain ou an average in the ware-house, 84 500 Sales, 12000 bales, 6 000 Storage and forwarding good;?, which according to the “revised” Tariff, must at least amount to <SO Commission for buying and ad. vancing, a very moderate calcula. cion, 750 812 000 From which deduct, Ware-house rent for one of the best in the city 81 500 Two Clerks, 1 500 Three hands, (large al lowance,) €OO Paper, Books, &c. &g, (large allowance,) 200 3 800 Nutt profit 88 200 Leaving a clear profit to come out of the plan ters, of EIGHT THOUSAND TWO HUN DIIED DOLLARS ! Being more than 50 per cent, over what is allowed by law to the V icc- President of the United States, nearly three times as much as the annual salary of the Gov ernor of Georgia, and equal, within a fraction, of tho pay of four of the Judges of our Supreme Courts. Now is it reasonable to expect the planters to submit to this most extravagant tax. Indeed, I think they will not, and sure I am, they ought not. At the north, we are ’old, manu facturing cities grow up, as if by magic, out of profits made on the “ grower’s labour,” and real. !y, I would defy them, to prosper faster than the ware-house men of the South must do, if their unreasonable schemes of aggrandizement, are| tolerated by those they, as well as the northern! folks, think such dunces as to submit to these “ revisals.” The former charges are such, as the ware-house men have grown rich on, alrea dy, and above which I will not pay. Plan ters, go to Augusta as I have done, and if you act with common prudence—my life on it, you can make a confidential bargain, to have your cotton stored for 12 1-2 cents per bale a month, and sold for 25 cents, or do what is better, sell it yourselves.—For many of the ware-house gen. demon, 1 have the very highest respect, and 1 sincerely wish them well. But I cannot agree, that, in the present instance, they have been] governed by that liberal course toward those from whom they seek such extravagant compen sation, as I think their interest and gratitude ought, to have suggested ; I am therefore oppos-1 cd to the “ revised charges,” arid shall do all I cun with fairness and candour against them.

The reform Bill, with its amendments, was I brought up to the House of Lords las’ night by Lord John Russell, Lord Althorp, and a num erous body of those members of the Lower House who had been its most conspicuous sup- j por r ers. I The Royal Assent was given to the Bill in the; I House of Lords, this day at four o’clock, by i Commission ; the usual State Officers attended for that loyal purpose—Lord Grey, Lord Broug ham, Lord Durham, Lord Lansdowne, and! ■other official organs of the Government, i The House of Commons subsequently resolved | itself into a Committee on the Scotch Reform Bill, and disposed of several clauses.—Whilst !in the Committee, Mr. Johnson proposed an a mendment, having for its object to prevent all, | Clergymen in Scotland, except such as already ! possess the elective franchise, from voting at ; elections, on the ground that it was inexpedient o convert the ministers of religion into political partizans. This proposition for excluding the Clergymen of Scotland from the enjoyment of a privilege which would be possessed by every other class of their citizens, met with but 17 supporters ; the majority against it was 65.
