SEPARATE STATE SECESSION
PRACTICALLY DISCUSSED IN A !
SERIES OF ARTICLES.
Pnblislied Originally in ihe Edgefield Advertiser, .
BY RUTLEDGE.
NOT I. t . . ;
Pecuniary resources of a separate Government '
in Sm/!h Crtrclinn.
The question is often asked, can South Ca- |
rolitia maintain an independent Government? (
The}', who support the negative side of this ,
question, urge many matters by way of argu- |
nient, all of which may be classed under these ;
two heads: . <
First, That revenue for the new government ,
cannot be raised without the most burder.ous
taxation upon the people. c
Secondly, That the State will not have size j
and strength sufficient to maintain respectabili- (
ty among the nations of the earth, or to pro j
tect herself against the aggressions of her neigh- t
bor3.
Let us briefly examine these points. What s
will be our probable revenue under a separate t
government ? Something like a fair estimate j
may be made, by considering the amount we a
contribnte annually to tue General Govern- c
ment, and to private individuals at the North. \
The annual exports from South Carolina are, c
from twelve to fourteen millions of dollars. In s
unrestricted trade or commerce, the imports ^
of a nation always equal and often exceed in t
value its exports; and hence, under, the 30 'j
per cent. Tariff now in operation, our im- a
ports, or, which is the same thing, our exports, s
add to the General Government an annual rev- a
enuo of about $1,000,000. But according to v
the estimate of accurate writers, the use of our tl
exports by Norther Merchants as a medium of j
exchange between this country and Europe,
ffives to Northern citizens a orofit of 10 per ,
cent, on our exports. This takes from the c
State annually about 81,200.000. Add to this p
the profits of Northern Merchants, from cornmissions,
freights, storage, wharfage, dec., in
the shipment and transhipment, to and from f(
New York, ofourexnortsandimports?and the j
whole amount yearly taken from South Caro- j,
liua industry and added to Northern wealth, s
will not be less than 85,000,000. Of this large j j
amount, not 8200,000 are re-imbursed within s
the limits of the State. % Nearly the whole is a c
clear loss. For more than twenty years, this ^
draining proeess has been going on, and not .,
less, probably, than 8100,000,000 of South f
Carolina wealth have, under the unjust operations
of the government, been transferred to the c
North. Had this money been expended with- ;i
in the limits of our State, how like .1 garden v
spot it might have been, adorned with Schools, j
Colleges, Rail lloads, and all kinds of Internal (
Improvements! ^
With a separate government those $5,000,000,
now transferred to tlio North, would be |
kept within our own borders. This scarcely x
admits of doubt. It is a settled principle in .,
Political Economy?indeed it is a certain law ^
of trade?that imports, freed from artificial re- .
stiictions, will always follow cxpor/.*. Our L,
Sl~.000.009 of exports would as surely bring ,
us SI*2,000,000 of imports (:uk! if our trade be I
profitable, a larger amount) as the 100 bales ..
of Cotton sent to market by the planter, return ; ,
tii him their equivalent in merchandize, &c.? 11|
I uder tlic present 'l ariff, then, we should have \ s
a revenue of about S 1,000,000. And if our j c
citizens should engage in the carrying trade ; v
(as they surely would) it would keep within i j
our limits nearly $9,000,000 every year, which j
are now most unjustly taken from the $tate <?
and distributed at the North. ?
It is worthy of remark, also, that while re- q
tabling the present Federal Tariff of 90 per ^
cent, we would scarcely feel the oppression ; j,
for the revenue would he re-imbursed among j:
our own citizens, and would be a spur to their v
industry. Taxes become odious and oppres- j
sive, mainly, when they are levied in one section
and distributed in another, or when taken ^
from one interest and bestowed on another, as ?
now happens under the Federal (lovernment. ^
Should circumstances, then, force us to keep t
up the present Tariff rates, we should be every
year, .$.">,000,000 better off, with not half the a
oppression we now bear.
Hut to pursue the argument. Will not $4,000,000
much more than suffice for the expenses
of a separate government for South Caro- ^
lina? We have now one of the best governments
in the world. For its support, only y
$IJ00,000 are requisite. This is raised by di- j
rect taxation upon the people. Let us now j
calculate the additional expenses of the new i
government. We will use, what every one, on l
reduction, must deem largo estimates. The 1
following tublo will serve to indicate: 1
Present expenses of State Government,
including whole Civil List - - -$300,000 (
Under the new Republic?President - 15,000 r
Cabinet of fonr Secretaries and Clerks 5 ,000 J
Charge d'Affairs and Consuls (12 in
number) - - - - - -- -- 50,000 |
Post Office Department ----- 50,0<>o <
Military Establishment ----- 100,000 (
Naval 1,000,000 <
Total #1,505,000 !
Some mav regard the last three items insufii- j
cicnt. But analyze the matter. The whole
cost of the mailsin South Carolina, annually, <
is $110,000 [Treas'r Rep ] It will be seen by <
examining the Congressional Documents that |
the i'ost-Uilico Department usually supports I
itself. For the year ending June 30, 1850, the <
receipts were #5,552,971 : the expenditures j
#5,212,950; making an excess of receipts over
expenditures of 8:M0,018.
It may bo thought that this excess comes out
of tlio Northern pocket, by .reason of the extensive
mercantile business at the North; and
this seems plausible on first blush;?but, uuder'
proper inquiry, it will be found, if we mistake
not, that while we of the South enjoy mail facilities
to a much less extent than the Northern
people, we yet bear the heaviest burthen of the
Po3t-Otfice revenue. There can bo no doubt,
that the largest portion of the Post-Office receipts
arises out of the mercantile transactions
ef the country ; and it is evident, that a large
diarc of the commerce of the land, both foreign
md internal, springs out of the great staples of
[he South, it is equally certain, that-all expenses
incurred in the interchange of Southern
commodities for Northern and European merchandize,
fall upon the Southern producer; and
[he exoense of Post-Office communications is
is much to be taken into the estimate, as that
:>f freights, commissions, storage, wharfage,
i'C.
With the increased trade and commerce of
jur jState, under jv separate government, the
['ost-ollioo would easily support itself, although
)ur mail facilities might he greatly multiplied,
dut we have allowed ?50,000 to begin thosys,em.
Many, doubtless, will think ?100,000 too
mall a sum for a military establisnment. We
:anuot think so. For many years the United
states army did not exceed 7,000 men. It is,
it present, not 10,000. This can scarcely be
sailed a standing army in so large a Commonvealtli.
It is very sure that the wise framers
>f our Republic, carefully excluded from our
ystem a standing army. They saw tho dancr
and expense, as well as the general inntiliy,
of such an institution in a country like this,
['hey supposed?and it is a principle which lies
,t the bottom of our government?that citizen
oldiers would answer all purposes of defence
nd protection; and wars of conquest and ;nasion
never, perhaps, entered the heads of
liesc wise and honest men. They, at all events,
teemed them highly dangerous to Republican
nstitutious. Excluding then, a regxdar army,
hey introduced a small military force to take
are of our military posts, stores, &c., and to
irotect our frontiers from tho depredations of
lie Indians. Time has proved the wisdom of
heir design. There can be no more dangerous
ue to liberty than a large, unemployed, wellrained
soldiery. Let us not forget the wise

tunding army in time ol peace. If our borl<*rs
be invaded, our citizens, with .their strong
inews and stout hearts, by the aid of the others
we may always have among us, can soon
>c turned into disciplined troops, prepared, at
11 times, to defend themselves against any
orces that can get foothold in their territory.
A few hundred men, therefore, to take caro
>f our military stores, arsenals, &c., would bo
ill we should need. Twenty thousand dollars
vould cover the expenses. But we should eiiarge
and nurture our present Military Academes,
as schools for OiHcers. Eighty thousand
lollars would certainly do for this!
For our Naval Establishment $1,000,000
lave been allowed. But it may well be asked,
vhy so much ? What does a nation want with
i Navy unless she have ships to protect! South
Jarolina has none. But it is hoped, she soon
\ ill have, and it would be a wise policy in our
lew government to encourage, as far as practiablc,
the shipping interest. As that interest
idvances, so should our Navy and Marine;
id so they will with anything like wisdom on
he part of our government. One million of
ioilars annually, would soon give us a haud

ertain, unless we become involved in war,
vould not be necessary. During Washington's
administration, the United States Naval Esablishincnt
did not cost, in any one year, over
1400,000. The lirst two years, tho cost was
5570; the next only $53; the next ?01,409.

iflh of this amount would give us a larger Nay
than we should have uso for in time of
icace.
That the above may not be deemed an unler-estimate
of our expenses, let it be compard
with the annual expenses of the Government
or the thirteen original States under Washing
on. The following table* will exhibit the exiciuliturcs
in each branch of the Government,
s well as the sum total of annual oxpeudiu

Thus it may be assumed that the whole cost
>f the new Government will not exceed 81,>00,000.
Of this, 8300,000 are now raised
)V direct taxation ; leaving 81,200,000 to be
>roduced by a judicious In riff. Hut South
^arolina is actually paying every year iu me
ieueral Government, in the wav of revenue,
51,000,000, as shown above. There could, at
nice, then, be a reduction of the Tariff from
]0 to 10 per cent, which would give us the desired
revenue.
Upon this reduction, foreign imports would
inter the ports of our State viO per cent cheaper
than they do, or than they would enter the
ports of the United States. What would be
the effects of this upon our commerce and industry?
These would increase beyond calculation.
From the large amount of capital set
afloat in the State and from the now impetus
given to our Co.nmcrce h.y the application of
tho principles of free-trade, a spirit of active
improvement would spring up in every branch
of industry. Agriculture, trade, tiie moclianical
arts, the facilities for Education,?in short
m
all kinds of Internal Improvements would mol*
tiply and flourish far beyond what they hare
done in any period of our history.

avarice" outwitted.
Some sixteen or seventeen years ago, whert
speculation was at its height in Pottsville, three
sharpers from Philadelphia visited our borough,
with a lot of ready made clothing, which they
intended to exhibit for sale. They called upon
Captain Mills, who was then in his prime as
fin nnoflnnoni* nn/1 ??< ? ncvtA/l
I .... HMV.iv.im, UI1U IT ao IIUKU IUI I1IO auilllj III
'' that line of business, and employed him to sell
\ their goods at public sale. This duty he.per;
formed with bis customary skill and ability,
I and although the clothim? brought remarkably
I good prices, they chaffered considerably with
the Captain concerning bis auctioneer's fees,
\ and finally paid him about one-half rif." the
: amount of compensation to which he was justly
entitled. The Captain said hut little upon
i the subject, but postponed his settlement of the
1 account until a future day.
I The dealers in clothing returned to Phils*
| delphia, and a few days afterwards returned to
. Pottsville, with a canal boat load of frame timber,
which they asserted composed the frames
i of eight dwelling houses, ready prepared for
i immediate erection, with shingle roofs, Ac.?;
The frames were unloaded at Mount Carbon,
and Captain .Mills was again employed by the
quondam clothes-men to sell them at ahction.
The minimum price for which the frameS.ttere
to be struck off, was fixed at seven hundred
dollars, and it was agreed that the compensation
of the auctioneer should ha twaotu-fiwo dnl.
lars. The day of sale arrived, the Captain invited
his friends to attend, and such was the
demand for honses, that when the hoar of sale
arrived, an anxious crowd of bidders were in
attendance. The auctioneer was the last one
to reach the ground?he mounted the stand,
commenced the sale in his nsual spirited manner,
and in a very few minates the biddings had
reached the stipulated minimnm of seven-hundred
dollars for the lot.
At this point the avarice of one of the owners
was excited, and his meanness pnwafled
over his small share of manliness. He reflected
that the bidders were already in attendance,
that at least the seven hundred dollars were
certainly secured, and that if he coold succeed
in depriving the auctioneer of his commission,
twenty-five dollars would be saved. He interrupted
the sale, and addressed the Captain:
"Sir, your services as an auctioneer at this
Bale are not required. Yon were not upon the v|
ground nt the appointed hour, sir. We are yKt
from Philadelphia, sir, where punctuality is required
of business men, and we shall not pay ^
you a cent, sir, because you were not punctual ^
.to the hour. You may stop your crying, sir.
and we wii! conclude this sale ourselves."
"Very well, sir," replied the Captain, and
turning to the crowd of his acquaintances and
friends, who made up the bidders, he quietly
remarked: . .
"Gentlemen, you are released from your
bids. As an auctioneer, employed and paid, I
feel bound to do lite best 1 can for my employers,
but in this case 1 am glad to find myself
relieved from that responsibility, and in a situation
that enables me to tell the truth.' "Tfcis
fratrv timber is not what you may have sopposed?a
good lot of new stuff, properly prepared?but
it is made up of frames of old stables,
sheds, &c., dressed over, and you will
find by actual measurement that there are no
two pieces that can be properly fitted together."
The auctioneer then mounted his horse and
rode oft", followed by the bidders, and the timber
lay where it was for some months, and was
finally sold for less than twenty dollars, when
the auctioneer's statement proved true. Nouse
could bo made of the lumber by the purchasers.?Potts
