Trhe process of giuning and pecking the

,it would give a revenue of only $150,00. 1
Does be intend it should be' inferred that -I
only that amount would be used in pack' I
ing a crop of 2,000,000 of bales? Or that i
if the whole amount necessary to be used
bad been imported. it would have givenlt
only that small amount of revenue, untder c
the duty proposed in this bill? If either c
be intended, he greatly mistakes. Ageiinst I
such inference, he (Mr. C.) appealed to;
every one acquainted with the subject, 1
both as to the accuracy of his statement of c
the quantity of bagging required for a bale I
of cotton of 400 pounds. anl to every ot I
capable of making the most simple calcula- C
tion, %%hat would be the number of yards
required for a crop, such as lie assumed th1 <
present would be; nail what the amount of
the duty would he at the rate proposed. i
But the fact stated by the Chairman is I
imlportant. and leads to very important I
conclusions, though very diferent fron I
what lie intended. Though it does not i
prove that only three millions of yards
were required, or that the proposed duty I
otn bagging would only give $I5,000, if
all used were imported; it conclusively
proves that only that amount passed thro'
the custom house and paid duty, and that
the residue did not pay duties, Now, it is
of no siall importance to ascertain what
was the amonut cirluded by the domestic
article, in consequence of the duty com
pared to thtat imported, w-hell ae have be
fore us the question ofitnposing such a duty
as that proposed by thi, bill. Two millions
of bales would, at five and a half yards to
the bale require eleven millions of yards:
so that, if only three were imported, eight ,
wou!d have to be supplied at home-a
pretty large proportion of the whole, one
would suppose, for the betelit of the Ken
tucky manufactures. Now sir, it is a pointi
of no little intportance to know wat ias
tlh dui-; in 1$10 on 13509u- it had been
much reduced under the compromtise. and
4bo supposed was something less than three
cents the yard. That anount was sufE
ciCtt L exclude cightt clevenths of the hag
ging used; and yet, in the face of this fact,
and n ith the profession (daily repeated by
the adsocates of the bill) that they only
aim at a fair competition between the for
cigo and domtestic articles, it is proposed,
to double nearly the duy-and that, too,
under a hill declared to be for revenue, and
not protectiou! This duty. then, compar- t
atively low as it was, so exeluded the imt.
ported haging, as to give a revenue less ,
than $100,000. And what fo you sup
pose. sir, would have been t e result, had
it been five, instead of tbree cets the yard!
The probability is, either the entire exilu
sion. or nearly so, of the imported article.
and little or no revcnute. Such at least,
would have been the clfe-t, if we are to
believe the Senators from Kentuck%., who
seem agreed that cotton bagging cannot iie
in their State at less than sixieen cents the
yard; and that if the duty is not raised to
five cents, the manufacturers must stiop.
But he (Mr. C.j ilid not think so. Ile be
lieved that they nould still go on. But, if
not, autbe whole amount used should te

cents duty on the running yard. s he pro

at thatf qu" ~3would. Viistill
imported adder so bigh a'duty. It L clear
that 5 cents the square yard. or 6 the run
niag, would be a duty for protection, and
not for revenue. lIe would not utndertalte
the task of attempting to discrimtitnate be
t ween iticidenitaland protective du:ie*s for
tnanfactures; but he would uassert that,
whteneser a duty was raisedl so high as to
dimiinish the revenue-that is. to reduce it
below the greatest amiount of reveue that
could he derived fromz the article-it couuld
n ot justly be considercid a revenue dity.
The exces.,.f duty ;d.ov,-s tht',- iit of the
greatest revenuie aould he exclusivyty for
protection; atid protection ~ nud, ini such
cases, be clearly the pirincialI aind revenaue
but the incident. Unt lie did not think
that 2crents duty on the yard would s'op
the tmanufactuirers of hsaggintg, thoutgh it
would probably greatly increaso th.- imt
porte-l article, as G cotnts ott thu runnting

there tins a great fallacy in a hat is called
protectioni: but he wouldt reserve wshat hte
tad to sasy on that point fur bomne other
stagte of the dli~cueion.
Weare also told that it is a great mi'
take to)suppoitse that the price of the dli
mestic at t iee was itncreatsed int ron,,cqutence
oh the dluty, oar that the tsjsw of the planter
nas equal to the duty. Fortunately, the
facts btrought (ot ott this occasiont wero
sutlicient to exl post the t~tltacy of the dloc
trince, that duties did not itncreasea prices.
Fromt uudoubited inifurmation ini his posses-I
sion as lie had alrea-ly statted, thre invoice
price of imporitried baggintg tis year may
be put doawn at abmout 0i cents the running
yard. Allow I cent pier yard for the ex

he supposed would tie tiear the truth,) attd
G cents duty ott the rutnninag yani; nd the,
cost in Charlestota, intcluding~ all wiould be
16 cenits the yardl-precisely what is said
to he the cost of the article at Louisville.
Assuming ite per cet. laid on for profit.
by the dealers int both places to be the
same, it would follow that thie Carolina
planters, anad those of the Southwest, who
get I row Kentucky, would pay tte same.
price for their baggitng; with thtisdifference
-that fur eVet) yard the former used, they
wot.ld pay 6 centts to the treasury; whilhe
fronm the latter, whto would pay as much
for the article, the treasury would ot re
ceive a cent. Now it is certain that, were
it not for the duty, thte pilanters of the
Southwest wtould, alter ptaying~ the duty,
get the importetd btagging ats chteap, or
nearly so, as thte Carolina planters do.
Now, asituminitg that, unider a duty of 6
cents the running yard. 3,000,000 of yards
would still be tmported, the revettue fromti
it wtould be $J80,000; and would, on the

More Particulars about the Riot. P
This morning, although great crowds of i
persons were in the vicinity of the scene b)
ofriot yesterday, there is ta disiurbanceof o
any kind. Great numbers of the colored
families are removing from tneir present7
places of abode, and are no: molested by I,
the crowd. We saw. for squares around C
the scene of the mosht serious part of the so
riot of yesterday. many of the dwellings of -
the colored people broken and injured by %
the stones thrown yesterday, and much of
their furniture injured or destroyed,

It is said those living in the vicinity of
the church, -hat its destructioni was not the
work of an incendiary, but that it was set
on fire by sparks from the Hall. The b,
seats and furniture in the church, were
principally saved. A number of colored
persons were in the church at the time it o
took fire.
At the Hospital there are twelve er- so
sons, who were injured yesterday-four v
whites, named Robert Newell, Patrick
