Necessary. to carry Penasylvania into the
Oupport ofa system by which Massachu
sett expects to be indemnified in increas
ed prices upon some of her leading pro
ductions in other manufactures. Take any
siagle article-say a yard of woollen clout
-upon which she wants a specifi duly,
1o as to enable her to sell it in @he hone
exarket at an enhanced price. The grow
er of wool most also have his protection, i
by a tax upon the raw material, to prevent!
ius imprtation at a low price; and soit is
iWitsi every other element of which this!
of ' oolen cloth is finally composed.
iron, of which all the labor-saving
achinery is made, is taxed; under this
ystem of protection extended, every thing
that the laborer consumes is enhanced in I
price; and, with this, add artificial expan- i
sion, and die whole result is, that the cost i
of production in the yard of woollens is so i
increased that there are no permanent pro- i
fits, finally, to the capital invested. I
This, then, produces an eternal demand a
* for increased restriction and prohibition. I
No.sir! she true protection to domestic t
labor and steady profits upon capital, is 3
fixed and stable legislation, writh a rled I
and stable curreney. Fix your general tax- i
es low, and your expeaditures low; and, d
above all, let us have a gold and silver cur- c
rency, and this country will rise more %i- r
irous and elastic from her present faIl. j
There is nothing more important thau cer
tain and fixed legislation. Only let your C
laws be equal, certain, and stable. and she t
enterprise and industry of this free coun- c
try will adapt themselves to whatever you c
enay do, and rise superior to all ditficultics. ii
'What the business men and property of a
this great country want at present. more n
than anything else, is certainty and stabil- C
ity in your legislation. Let your currency i
be the true measure of value, abroad as o
, well as at home. The greatest of all bles. 3
sings to labor and to property. is to have a el
currency certain and fixed, beyond the e'
;owr of government, through any slwpe or o
fora, to tamper teith or alter. this is the -
true and permanent protcetion to produc- 1C
tive labor, in every part of the enufedera- rt
cy. But high restriction. with expansion ti
of credits, prices, and circulation, will he a
pruductive of sad disappointments aud dis- le
aster to all who rely upon them. o
Now, sir, as to the argument that a high la
tariff is necessary to preserve onr specie in In
the country. and to iusport it, I have shown te
that, if it were true, it would derange trade, tri
and finally the legitimate distribution of se
wealth. The following table of the export, tio
a-id imports of specie will show, fron I29 at
to IS32, inslusive, (which was the period as
of highest restrictiou,) that the imports cx- ca
ceeded the exports only $6,99@.761; and pot
that, daring the free-trade period of nire at
years, from 1833 to 1841, inclusive, the 61
tinports exceeded tie exports forty-nine sii

The truth is, that trade must be entire- por
ly-reciprocal, and that no0 restriclion cant upt
creete a permanient imnpot tationi of specie ; Wi
or can it retain finally in the counitry but
snore than it is fairly entitled to, according denr
to thme adjustment of balance,. and the nn- tasr
nual amount of productive industry. You pleo
ty. by high taxation cut otT a certain and
brqueh of trade, arnd thereby deranigo dc- Iconi
tasud and supply; and that may againt the
affe-ct 3Suor exchanges, ws hich would to sy y
acertia extcut. act upon thme export anid latn
import of specie in its final adjusttnent.- rs
But gentlee mights suppose that if re- Jglac
stricmiions or high tariffs could prevent .g
the expoeraation oif specie, it could lie dotte 6a 31
in Eulanmd. The tariff is certainly hig
enoogh there. And, yea. what! have ne CA
seen within the last few years!? Take T1'
the ye-ar 'if 1838 and part of 183'J. The 'De
Bank of England had always acted upots give
the idea that exchanges were the test of reni
ste currency of a country. And whent Aug.
exchanges were against them, they esnsid- te-nde
ered the currency and cirenilaiou were ex- Cla3
panded; and when the7 were at par, or cared
an favor of themn. that tien there was con- attd
traction. To control this, they would raise Calfi
or sink the priee of interest, so as to affect ..'J
discounts and esreulation, Now exchtanges ing pi
might be a true test of the level of curron- tack
cy, if all nauions lhad precisely the same the a
pesrmanent tariffs, and if they always had :ncar
ineariably the same annual amount of The
products. But this again depends upon -wor
the seasons themselves, which must al- Mr.
ways lbe the same also. A change in thme tency
productions of a country, and of its tarif, hitica
will produce a change in the state of its mnutil
foreign' trade; and must consequently af- sides
feet the state of exchanges, to a great ex- a mro
tenat, independent of local currency. Jo virtua

darn was moderate. Ia January of that and
year, it had ?8,895,000, which bad been lash c
coosidered ?1,000,000 more than was ne- falsifi
casry for a sound state of the currency. lipic a
But fromt the prevalence of wet weather, in onc
it was supposed that the crop of grain vaseil
would fail; and the consequence was, in for thb
August, 1828, exchanges rose against En- on the
gad. -Otn the 8th Jana , 839, the theiri
ballion in her bank was ?9.3 ,l000, which compa
was ?441,000 more than the year before; tiorn i
and yea exchanges ran so steadily against selves
the bank, that un the 2d April, 1S3, she his art

of-grain-had beeb made from the~Bablic.
It was from this state of things, and not
rm a small stock of bullion, or large cir
:ulation. that exchanges ran so steaedy a
;ainst England. The demand for gold
:ontinued in the face of the fact, that the
firectors of the bank raised the price of in
erest to 5 per cent.; and on the 20th June,
1S39, they advanced it to 5J per cent.;
ind on the 1st August it was fixed at the
unprecedented rate of 6 per cent. Stil
he draine for specie continued, and they
xvere compelled to obtain,?2,000,000 from
he Bank of France. Now I have taken
his operation upon tie exportaion and i'mm
portation of specie from a country full of
restrictions and high tariffs. And I am
-ompelled to believe that the loctrine ofa
ligh tariff being nccessary to prevent the
txportation of our sFpecic, is a mere ig
morant assumption. The truth i6, that
ill depends upon the state of trade ; and
hat, again, is regulated by the invaria
Plc rule of demand and supply. It is one
if the inost beautiful and philosophical
aws of gold and silver, that they will fimd
heir level. Press them where you will,
ret like water, they will rise to a corn

epresson at some point; but its %% hole
M'ect is to derange trade, and the law of

istly to disturb time disribumion of wealth.

Health of our Village.-We are happy to be
able to state. that. as yet. there has been but a
few cases of fever in our village, which otigi.
nated within its limits; but, we are sorty to say
that the surrounding country iq much infected
with sickness. afvarious kinds. The physicians
are upon the go constantly. day and night. hut
as the weather has berome cooler, we hope the
sickness w ill alhortly disppear. The remedies
re..oired to by our skilful ihyscians, has so far
been succes4ul, as there ham not been hut one
death. and that a case of dropsy, within the last
mouth. catier in thme villa;:e or its immediate
neighborh.'od. We reel oati1ied, that the ex
treme warm spell which has juast passed. has
been the cause of Pirkness. as our village. and
in fart. the surrounding neighborhood. haos no
lwal causes to produce fevers.
Extract from a letter receved by the Editor.
dated GnEr.swooo. Sept. 12, 142.
" It is reported it the surrounding districts,
and some parts of Abbeville. that it is very sick
ly in the vmllage ot Greenwood, and as such
reports are calculated to injure the Schools, at
present in full operation. by making the parenits
of thmose scholars at present Iere, uneasy, and
deter others from sending their children; It is
therefore due to them and our own citizens to
contradict thmose repots-. It is true there has
been three deaths in the %ilage, and several
cases of fever. bit I assure you, that all the cas
e, that have been here, are those orpersons who
have spent a part of their tine in the neiglbor
ingcountry where time fever is generally ire
vailing. except three, which all occurred in one
family. one of which died. The lady of Mr. T.
B. Byrd, died on Thursday evening last, of
Congestive Fever, which I have no doubt was
contracted at White flail, while on a visit to
ier daughter who wassick. A negro also died
who had been at work it time sane neighbor
hood, and all hands had to return to thii place
on account of being sick, as tney were in the
employment of a mechanic who resides here
There are upwards of twenty families, and
about three hundred inhabitants in the village.
and I do not know of but one case of fever at
this time among the citizens. I do not believe
sur village to be entirely exempt from fever,
but I do insist that these 'sef

surrounding country. and our ciizens coutinue
o visit their friends. residing in the infected
nart of the district, they will, more or less, be
uhject to it. I hare never heard of maore fe

Mr. EvIToa.-I was somewhat surpried t
find in your last paper a call, over the signature
of " Old Edgefield," upon Col. Burt, of Abbe.
Ville, to come forward as.s candidateo ?i1 the
situation in Congress, at present otelpWe by
the lion. F. W. Pickens, whom, I have jug
understood, has'declined a re-election. I asd
whilst up the county, perceived a call Me&
upon the same gentleman, by some of the ii
zrns of Abbeville.publislaed in the Mountainen.
to wvhicb I paid but little attention, as I thought
it but right that every district should nomiaaru
one (of their own citizens af they deemed it ez
pedient so to do,. for any oDice within theirgib
but now finding him called upon as a eanag&e
to represent Edgefield district alsu, I am at a
loss to know what the meaning of it is. We
are certainly all acquainted with the situation
in which our State is placed, and that at pM.
sent there is not any Congressional distiacts
laid off, agreable to the new census, and that
calling upon a citizen to come forward to n .
stit a dist ict, of which he is not a resident is
rat.er premature, without the party caling np.
on the gentleman, have the power (wbigh pa.
haps they think they will have) in the neat A
go'lature, to Gerry ander the State, to s
their own purposes. This case brings to my
mind an anecdote. which was some time Mice

'sid feehalg iowards those who may be our neat

me riesult be as itniay, that the State had been
errymnandered for political purposes, if their

re. as there is time enough, that no momina
