Messrs. Editors: —We should be as
ready to declare our agreement as our
disagreement of opinion with our political
opponents ; it gives me pleasure therefore
to acknowledge that with Mr. Toombs I
approve and can defend a change ofopin
ions, That man is an unenviable fool
who never changes his opinions,—to him
(be mental stature of twenty is the mental
stature of forty; investigation brings no
knowledge—reflection no wisdom. But,
u wise man is slow in forming opinions,
and slower in changing them. Opinions
embraced in folly, may in fully be dis
carded, but those embraced in wisdom, in
creased wisdom only can discard. Which
horn of this dilemma belongs to the friends
whom Mr. Toombs so energetically de
fends ?
They formerly believed that the bigger
the toll-dish of the miller, the smaller the
return of meal to his customer —they now
i hold the reverse ! They once held a pro
tective tariff unconstitutional, and a just
■' cause for nullification, even at the risk of
i civil war and a dissolution of the union of
the states: now, with thc*m, it is the high
cst style of political wisdom ! Formerly
the general government must on no ac
count transcend the powers given it in the
constitution: now it may do its pleasure,
if only it be the pleasure of a majority in
Congress, without restraint from the other
co-ordinate legislative department! For
merly the assent of the south to unequal
taxation, under particular national emer
gencies, was ascribed to her known and
accustomed magnanimity : now it is as
cribed to a past wisdom which the nullifi
ers killed and buried, and which, there
fore, they feel bound to disinter and re
store to life. Generous men !
In regard to Texas, too, there has been,
with those friendsof Mr. Toombs,a change
of views. They once held the land of the
‘done star” in great esteem, contributed
liberally of their means for the mainte
nance of its liberties, spoke in raptures of
the noble during of its people, in com
-1 mendable praise of its soil, climate, navi
gable streams, and especially of its indis
pensable importance to the United States :
now it is a country of but little value in
any respect; its lands arc low, flat, poor,
distant from market; its rivers, only wet
weather streams; its population, not he
roes, patriots and brethren, but escapes
from justice! Wonderful results has this
whig wisdom.
Now, Messrs. Editors, I will not pre
sumptuously declare that there is not j
justifiable cause for these sudden transi- j
lions of opinions—from the torid to the
frigid, and from the frigid back to the to-
I rid zones; but I will confess I have not
discovered it, and humbly request a dis
olosure of this, tome hidden, wisdom. If
the whigs will not condescend, as I fear
they will not, to enlighten one who, though
in days that are just past, he pvefered the
ballot to the cartouch box as the remedy
for unjust taxation, was then, as he is now,
a state rights man, I must request the fa
fvorofyou. Your experience will doubt
lessly enable you to inform me whether
these antipodal extremes result from pa
tient investigation, deep reflection, pro
found wisdom; or whether they are the
fruitions of impulsive passions, undisci
plined minds, unregulated principles?

The following resolution was offered

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1844.
| administration of the government the prin
| ciples and policy of the venerated Jeffer
( son, and his illustrious followers.
2d. Resolved, That the noble example
presented by the friends of the different
I gentlemen whose claims had been urged
for the distinguished office of President,
I furnishes one ofthevery best illustrations
1 of the beauty and strength of the theory
; and practical operation of democratic prin
| ciples.—illustrating, as it most admirably
I does, the proud and distinguishing truth,
I that those who most truly walk in that faith
j will, whenever their country's good re
| quires it, “give up their friends and stand
by their country,”—and whilst we would
thank the convention generally, for the
spirit of liberality and patriotism, which
they carried with them into their delibe
rations; we would specially award, to the
delegates of our own State, our sincere
acknowledgments for the satisfactory man
ner in which they have severally dis
charged flie respective duties assigned j
them.
3. Resolved, That we have learned with
the deepest concern and regret that the i
proposition to enlarge our southern territo- !
ry by the annexation of Texas, has, by |
the force of party drill, been defeated in I
the Senate of the United States—thereby :
sacrificing, for the vilest of purposes, one ;
of the most inestimable objects that has j
over claimed the attention of this country. |
4. Resolved, That we see, or think that '
we discern, in the stickling and prevarica - I
cation of those who oppose the immediate |
annexation of Texas, a spirit of party sub
serviency which is notin accordance with I
w hat we believe best calculated to defeat
the desperate and treasonable warfare
now waging against the institutions, peace, i
and lasting welfare of the southern coun- j
try. We believe that those who are not :
with us. must be against us—that when a I
people earnestly desire the adoption of any j
great measure, they assist in removing or ;
lessening the difficulties that may embar- j
rass it, rather than increase them by stick- 1
ling about non-essentials and false issues, j
5. Resolved, furthermore, That this
meeting holds that Texas is free, sover
eign. and independent, “de facto” and “de
jure”—and that she ought and must be
united again to the country to which the
Almighty, in his wisdom, hath attached
her, and from which, man, in his folly,
should never have put her asunder.—
Policy, humanity, patriotism, and the in- i
terest of our common country, without re- |
gard to sectional distinctions, all forbid the
blind policy of refusing the proffered boon.
Therefore, in view of the inestimable im- i
portance of the question, we do resolve,
and declare our determined purpose to
continue our increasing and unubating ef
forts to effect the object of annexation.—
And invoking to our aid, in this holy cause,
the friends of annexation, here and else
where—those who love our Union, its
common interests and its glory, more than
they love party ascendency, we do most
solemnly exhort them not to relax one jot
or tittle of their efforts, till the “lone star”
shall be added to the bright constellation
of our country’s banner, and Texas again
repose safely in the arms of her foster
mother.
The above resolutions having been read,
were ably and eloquently advocated by
Col. J. R. Dyer, Dr. B. F. Keene, James
W. Shropshire, and T. C. Bonner, Esqrs.
On motion the thanks of the meeting
were presented to the chairman and se
cretaries, and that the proceedings be
signed by the chairman and secretaries
and published in the democratic papers of
Milledgeville and Augusta.

ANNEXATION MEETING.
According to previous notice the citi
zens of Morgan County, in favor of the
immediate annnexatinn of Texas to the
United States, convened at the Court
i House, on the 2nd day of July; Col. John
j B. Walker was called to Chair, and Isham
i S. Fannin and Owen F. Spurlock, Esqrs.,
i appointed Secretaries. The Chairman
j explained the object of the meeting.
Thos. P. Saflbld, Esq., offered the fol
j lowing preamble and resolutions.
We regard the annexation of Texas to
j the United States, as speedily as it can be
j done by the constituted authorities of the
j two countries, as a great national question,
; and paramount to all others now before
' the country. Her territory is essential to
j our safety, in the event of a war with any
of the nations of Europe, and to a success
ful opposition to the spirit of abolition, now
so prevalent in some portions of our coun
i try, as well as the nations of the “old
i world.” She lies immediately on our bor
j der, is a portion of the great valley of the
Mississippi, and is an abode forindepend
| ent freemen; is surpassed in soil, climate,
j and productions, by no portion of the uni
| verse. Her citizens are decendants of
those from whom we boast our origin, at-
I tached to our institutions, animated by the
i spirit of liberty, “skilled in arts and re
i nowned in arms” and will be an incalcu
i lable addition to our strength, wealth, res
; pectability, manufactories, aggviculture,
| and commerce. She has petitioned to be
admitted to our embraces, to form a por.
tion of our confederacy, to be annexed to
our glorious Union; why should it not be
j done? Texas says she is independent.
| France, Holland, Great Britain and the
United S f ates say she is independent.—
The civilized world says she is independ
ent; and being so, she has according to our
declaration of independence the right “to
i declare, war conclude peace, contract al
liances, establish commerce, and do all
other acts and things which independent
nations may of right do.” Regarding her
in this light, the President of the United
States in accordance with the wishes of a
large majority of the people and the pow
l ers vested in him as the Chief Magistrate
of the nation, negotiated a treaty for her
I annexation, which has been rejected by
I the Senate. A bill and a resolution to ac
complish the same thing, in a different
j manner, have been subsequently, voted
down in the same body. These facts show
the present Congress to be opposed to it; and j
the only way in which it can be done is 1
for the people to take the case into their I
own hands, and in a voice not to be mis- \
unperstoo I, or disregarded, call upon !
their public servants to accomplish as
| speedily as possible an object so essential
to their interest, safety, and happiness.
; Resolved, Therefore that we are in fa- j
i vor ol annexing Texas to the United States :
as speedily as the constituted au'horities j
I of the two countries can accomplish it.
Resolved, That the Senate of the Uni- ;
| ted States, in the rejection of the treaty ;
; ot annexation, violated the public will and I
i disregarded the best interest of the coun
i try.
Resolved, That we do not consider the !
| assent of Mexico at all necessary to una- '
i ble us rightfully to acquire Texas, nor do |
; we believe that in so doing, we should !
j violate any treaty stipulations with that |
1 country.
1 Resolved, That as Texas can only bo ;
annexed through the agency of our pub
i lie servants, that we will not aid in put
j ting any one into the high offices of our
| government who is not known to be un
qualifiedly, and without equivocation, in j
j favor of that great measure.
Mr. Saffold addressed the meeting at
j some length, in an interesting and sensi
j ble speech, in favor of the resolutions; and
was followed by William McKinley, Esq.,
of the county of Oglethorpe, who was pre
sent by invitation, he addressed the meet
ing about two hours, and was frequent
ly interrupted by loud and enthusiastic
cheers, —the cause of annexation has,
in him, a chaste, beautiful and con
vincing advocate. After Mr. McKinley
j concluded, the Hon. John H. Lumpkin,
| being present, on his way home from
! Washington City, was introduced to the
j meeting, and made a strong and masterly
| argument in a speech full of fire and en
thusiasm Col. Lumpkin is sanguine in
the belief that the whole country is in fa
vor of annexation.
When he had concluded the preamble
| and resolutions were submitted to the
i meeting and passed without a dissenting
i voice.
When Thomas Swift, Esq., offered the !
following resolution :
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
j meeting be published in the Federal Union
1 and the Augusta Constitutionalist.
On motion, the meeting then adjourned.

A NEW TARIFF ARGUMENT. |
The Tribune of Tuesday has the fol
lowing:
I “ The Tariff and the Revenue. —The Madi- I
; sonian says that the revenue for the current !
| year will exceed $35,000,000, and probably |
reach $40,000,000. The appropriations are :
1 $21,777,854, which, it is believed, will consi
: derably exceed the actual current expendi
tures, for which $20,000,000 may be consi
dered a fair estimate. This will leave a bal
j ance of Fifteen to Twenty Millions to he ap- j
plied to the extinction of the Public Debt.— j
The Madisonian hopes (though this is hardly
probable) that the Public Debt will be entirely
paid off by the 4th of March next.
“Remember, fellow-citizens! that one of the
i prominent grounds of hostility to the Tariff', j
! alleged by James K. Polk in iiis electioneer
| ing speeches last summer, was its incapacity j
! to produce the amount of Revenue required by i
I the Government! It was so restrictive, so pro- !
j hibitory, he urged, that it would cripple Trade, I
! cut off*lmportations, and ruin the Revenue— ■
I wherefore we must go back to a twenty per j
i cent Tariff, fur Revenue only. The answer j
j to this is a surplus of Fifteen or Twenty Mil
| lions the very next year! How has the Na
i tion contrived to exist for several years back
I without the services of this profound and fore
■ sighted Statesman?”
1 Nothing astonishes us more than to wit- \
| ness the unskillfulness with which the (
i high tariff papers argue in favor of the ;
| present tariff. We believe that if the }
whole tariff controversy should cease on
i the part of the democracy, and was left j
; exclusively in the charge of the whig
} press, the tariff would be repealed the first .
| session of the next Congress.
The present tariff, according to the Tri
bune, will produce near $40,000,000 re- ;
venue the present year. According to a
statistical table published in the Globe we j
find the sum appropriated for the different
departments of Government, during the
present fiscal year, is
821,777,551 21
From which we must deduct 4,500,000 00
Which is the amount appropriated
1 for the Post office Department—
| the receipts of that Department
will about pay the expenses.—
Leaving the balance of $17.277,?54 21
. I It will be seen from this statement that
the expenditures of the Government, ex
t elusive of ths Post Office Department, for
- the present year, wilt he a little more than
17.000. which to be raised from the
sales of the Public Lands and the Customs.
Now, our opponents say we are to raise
840.000. from the Customs alone!
Our present Tariff levies a duty from 5 to
400 percent.; averaging, according to its
friends, about 40 per cent, ad valorem on i
all imports. Or in other words, we import
about 8100,000,000 revenue worth and
raise 840,000,000 revenue; which is some
820.000. 000 more than we want for' the i
support of Government, and sufficient to
extinguish the whole National debt by the
4th of March next.
Now we leave the people to decide
whether the present high Tariff ought to.
be continued. The highest estimate of
the amount required annually for the ex
penses of the government is about 822.-
000,000; this is the amount stated by Mr. 1
Clay, just on the eve of his retiring from
the Senate. If the present Tariff should j
be reduced one half, which would be an
average of about 20 per cent, ad valorem,
we would get about 820,000,000 revenue,
even should we import no more than we
do now. This, together with the receipts
arising from the Public Lands, would
make, probably, about 823.000,000,
which would be amply sufficient for an
economical support of government upon
the basis of the highest estimate.
But it we should reduce the duty one
half we would nearly double our imports,
and thus in all probability we would raise
as much revenue with a 20 per cent, duty
as we do with a duty averaging 40 per
cent. And by so doing we should create
a market abroad for millions of dollars
worth of our produce that will not now |
even pay the labor that is required in
producing it.
Give us a Tariff averaging from ten to I
twenty per cent., varying, according to I
the article upon which it is laid, from 5
to 100 per cent., instead of from 5 to 400
per cent., and we will raise sufficient re- i
venue, and the people will retain some 60
or 80,000,000 of dollars, they now contri- ;
bute for the benefit of the manufacturers! .
We rejoice to see our high Tariff papers !
handle the subject so ably. With such
arguments the present Tariff is doomed to |
be repealed.

ENGLISH FASHIONS.
When a tailor is about to make a coat
he consults the last London pattern. —
Waists rise and fall here as they may
happen to rise or fall in England; we copy |
first their narrow collars and then their
broad collars; first their skirts gathered
to a point like an epigram, and then their
skirts spreading out like an open fan or a
speech in Congress. It would be well if
the propensity to imitation stopped here,
but unfortmjfetely it extends to our poli
tics. Mr. Clay, for example, the leader
| of a powerful party among us, is as faith
! ful a copyist’of British fashions as ever a
! tailor in Broadway. His favorite mea-
I sures are drawn from the British policy.
I His national bank, for example, is an in
| stitution after the London pattern, and
i when he would commend the tariff he can
; think of no more cogent reason than that
i it is all the rage in England.
In his speech delivered at Raleigh last
I April, which all the whig newspapers are
: giving to their readers, and which the
i principal whig journals adopt as contain
-1 ing the elements of their political creed,
i Mr. Clay, in the very outset ofhis remarks
j in favor of the restrictive system in com
i merce, says:
j “I have long given to this subject the most impar
! tial and deliberate consideration, of which my mind
j is capable. 1 believe that no great nation ever has
existed, or can exist, which does not derive within t
itself, essential supplies of food and raiment and the
means of defence. I recollect no example to the
contrary in ancient or modern times. Although
Italy did not itself afford all those supplies to An
cient Rome, the deficiency was drawn from her sub
jugated provinces. Great Britain, although her
| commerce encompasses the world, supplies herself
mainly from the little island under her immediate
dominion. Limited and contracted as it is, it fur
nishes her with bread and other provisions for the
whole year, with the. exception only of a few days;
1 and her manufactures, not only supply an abun
i dance of raiment and means of defence, but afford
i a vast surplus for exportation to foreign countries.”
Thus it appears, that when Mr. Clay
wants a pattern of public policy, he sends
immediately to Great Britain. Great Bri
tain with her starving and hollow-eyed ■
multitudes, kept in order by the cannon's |
mouth, is the great object of his admira
tion. To make this country like her, to
bring us, by the same system of legisla
tion, into that happy state of abundance
; which she enjoys, he acknowledges to be
I the aim of his policy. The example of
| Great Britain as the guide of our policy
—the fate of Great Britain for our people
i —in these lies the essence of the whig po
licy as expounded by Mr. Clay,
j Again, says Mr. Clay, in the course of
this attempt to vindicate the policy of re-
I striction:
“England adopting the principles of free trade!—
| Why, where are bercorn laws? Those laws which
, exclude an article of prime necessity—the very
i bread which"sustains human life—in order to afford
protection to English agriculture. And, on the sin
| gle article of American tobacco, England levies an
! nually an amount of revenue equal to the whole
, amount of duties levied annually by the United
States upon all the articles of import from all the
foreign nations of the world, including England.
Thafis her free trade.
And therefore Mr. Clay affirms that
we must not have free trade in America,
i Do not hanker after that pernicious boon
i of commercial liberty, says ?>lr. Clay to
| his dear countrymen. You know 'not
:i what you ask. Do you not see that it is
not the fashion in Great Britain? Have
you the presumption to wish to be allow
ed to do what British laws do not perm ft
VOL. XXII—NO. 9
to the British citizen? Do you not see
how happy Great Britain is under her re
stiicthe system, “supplying herself main
ly with bread and other provisions from
her own little island:’’ drawing from her
manufactures “an abundance of raiment
| and means of defence,” together with “a
vast supply for exportation.” If we faith
fully adhere to the restrictive system as
long as Great Britain has done we shall
! bring about here the same desirable state
of things which exists in that fortunate
country.
