in the Legislature, aknd can he no where else. But what tax would amount to a prohibition? Would five hundred, or five thousad dollars reach that point? Or i. tint the trade already taxed to prohibition? Must the tax prohibit the whole or only a part of the community, before ithecones uinconstitutional? Is it constitutional to impose a tax that Will act as a prohibition upon the poor man, and allow the rich to inonopoli:e all the profits of the trade by getting rid of competition? And is not this the operation of the present law? The license is raied to such sat amount that none but the rich can aford to pay it. and the poor man is deprived of his equal trighit and privileges. I r ill upon the Le gislature to pass a law that will iperate equally upon all classes of nmen. And if we must have dram shops in the country, let the poor have the benefit of the trade, as well as the -rick. Or if you prohibit the poor. as you have already done, prohib it the rich also. And let us have even handed justice ONE OF THE PEOPLE. * "It is obvious that the same power which imposes a light duty. can impose a heary one. one which amounts to a prohibition. Questions of poeer do not depcnd on the degree, to awh;ch it snay be exercise. Ii' it may be exercised at alt. it must be exercised at the wil of those, in schose hands it is placed.-Story's Comm. on the Con. B. III., Ch. XIV., Scc. 1018. Mr. Editor: I would not have believed that the ar tiele, which appeared in your last paper, signed "Cato," could deceive any one, who had been sufficiently educated to read it, had yot not mentioned the fact that it was published "by request." For the benefit, then, of those who are as ig norant oi the suldect, as "Cato," is him self, I will currente calamo comnment upon his argument. Having assumed that all who are op posed to the present license Lauw, fire "in fatuated by lblind zeal," he comnnnicates to the Leeislature. the itmportant inte!li gence. that we area bout to "sweep away with one fell blow," what he is pleased poetically to terni, " the radical element of liberty in these States,"-namely, the Dram Shops! But let tus examine his argtment. What is the object of his article? If he had any object, it must have been to inves tigate what was the political power of S. Carolinq. To ascertain this, with certain. tv. he commetices by etiluiring into the powers of Congress. And recollecting that the "American System," was pro nounnced unconstitutional by Sotah Caro lina, he comes to the following conclusion Congress has not the right io protect North ern Vlanufictories, at the extense of South e'n interests and therefore, the reonle of South Carolina have not the right to brake tip "grog shops." His conclusion is irresistable! The next position which he assumes is. "that no State in the Union can possess such a right ; because the exclusire regula tiont of commerce is loded in Congress." And he thinks that -any senrible man msi see this." Will -Caut" lie kind enotigh to point me out the claue of the Constit-i. tint, which erants to Congress the --ex clusive " fight to rezulate commerce? It is well to be accurate when arauing a question which so deeply. directly. and 1antigerously effects not otly the liberties of the people of South Carolina, but even the very existence of our State Govern inent.- For if we have not the right, as Cato " says, of taxine the property of our citizens.-I would be aid to he iafortmed howv we are to pay the exnaences of onr State Governwvent? If we can raise tbo revenue, howv can otir Gohvern ttetnt exist? Is "Cato" aware itat the onastrutctiont of this very clause of the Constitution was thte origin of that hitter, thtough blootdless udisputte which -amue so ntear levering otur Utnon in 1832! Bait even ite ndvocates of the Tariff' and the Federal Court have never claimed that Congtress htad the right to regtulate comn mier~e .in ng 'lie citi::enh of the same blu.te. No one xc.ept "Citto." has ever denied that t.' States have thme right to regn late :te traf11e. bet'oeent their own cili::ens. How else cotid we tsx the cap)ital of our MI r, tnnts, or even trades and profe'ssiotts. B lto retirnt tat "Catro'" argimtetnt. K h.ive b. ent utnable to ftual the won "erclu sice,"' int copy of the Conttstitmtiftn whticht I have thoutgh the 3rdl el-sue itf the 8th section of the 1st Aticle, doaes give to Congress the powver "Tat reenlute cona merce witht foreign nattions, amng the sev eratl State<, anal with the laini Tribes." Doaes "Cat"'," know thtat it was movedl, itt the Convention which adl'r'edl .he Co sittutito, to amien I th-tt e'lanie, so as to give to Cottgraess the "sole and ercluseive." pmower tO regulate 'o-nmtierce nnd that the proposition wats rejected, the votes bieing~ takent by States! (See 220, and 270. ".Jturnal of Cotavention.") I hope, ont "Cato's" own account, thatt, wvhen he mtade; the assertson, he was ignorant of the fact that the States had, so far from granting, positively refused. to Congress the "errlu sive" right to regailate Commuterce; for: thouigh the exptosure of his ignorance anid arrogatnce must be wvoundling to "Cato's" vanity, it will be somne consolation to him,a th know that at least ho is an honest malt. If it is Ignorance (as we are bound in cnarity to- helieve) anal tnt viciousness, which has catisei "Catat," to commtit the errors which he haaa. K may, lay giving him sitme information on thie subject, save him the maortifica;tion of againi seeing his igotrance extposedl to the papers. By re -ferring. to the case of Gibabons vs Ogden (9. Wheat. R. 1, 199 to 202) he will see that the Supreme Court of the U. States, has detertinte.i that the States have not granted to Congress any controtl "ov r the comunerce" which is completely internal, -"which is carriedl on betwea'n man and man in a state, or ht weena different parts of the same Etate." But thait "the comn ptletely internat commerce of a State may be cotnstdered as~ reserzed for the State itself." By refertrmn3to the case "Cat')" will also see that I hhe quoted the t-ery words usPed by Mr. Chaelustice Marshall, wy'o -leliveved the optinio~of the Court.

"Cato" admrits that "over things imported a State may ins'itute reg ulation." What "Cato" miteans by the elegant phrase "institute regulation" I am unable to comprehend; since it is one not to be found in the law books, or in the Con stitution. But this "regulation" lie tells us is not to proceed to "prohibition." Has the intelligence ever reached -Ein met Lodee" that the people of South Car olina in 1835 by an Act or Assembly. im posed a tax nf one thousand dollars on hlawkers and Pedlars? Does breaking up a trade amount to "prohibition?" If so we have by express Law "llrohiaited" Pedlars from "selling or exposing to sale any goods wares or merchandize" whether "imported" or not. Ani our Courts have never qniestioned the constitutionality of this Law. I will not quarrel with "Cato" about terms; hut shall simply proceed to show the incidents appertaminn to the "instituted regulation" of which lie speaks. First, then the People of South Carolina have a right to regulate the place and manner in which one shall dispose of his Merchandize. This is illustrated by the case of the Pedlar already cited. That they have a right to define the quantity is liklewise manifest front an existing, law in relation to retailers themselves; "Cato" mey possibly know from experience, that a retailer cannot recover for a less quantity of likor titan a quart. That we have a right to prescribe the person is equally clear it being a penal off'ence in this State for any one to trale with a slave. Upon the constitutionality of these laws our Courts have already decided. But "Cato" still insists -that there is no constitutional right in prohibit the sale of anv article of commerce in which there is capital nui labor." Ift lie sapient "Cato" will turn to the 23d pane of the Acts of Assembly of 1S20 lie will fild that South Carolina" has -,prohibited" the introduction or circulation of any hooks or pamliets" calcnlated "to disturb the peace or securi ty" of her citizens. I would like to lie in .irnied by one so learned in tne Law as "Cato" surely is, since he has undertaken to instruct our Legislators. w hether books and pamphldets are -'articles of commerce in which there is capital and labor?" But I have wasted too much time al ready, upon the rodomantade of this va poring scribbler. Nothing, as I before said, but the considernion. that some, even more ignorant than -Cato," himself, might be iifluenced by his unmeaning jargon about liberty and laws, would ever have induced me to notice so silly a production. Whilst we are discussing lie propriety of alter ing or repealing a law already upon our statute hook, "Cato" is rating about constitutions & commerce. I believe that we, the citi:ens of S. Carolina are freemen. I helieve.("Cato's" opinion to the contra ry, notwit list anding.) that we noto possess the righi of making such laws as wce seefit, for our own government, and that when we lose this right we will cease to befreemen! If, then. the people of S. Carolina choose to alter, or repeal the present license laws, or any other law upon their statute book, I can not perceive that they are doing more than, as freemen, they have a right to to do.
