IISCELL&NEOUS. Fmm eiN. Y. Evening Po THE TAXES PAID BY THEBO RING CLASSES. tt is not possible far n man of o dinary fairnesstof mind, to lok over "the ta riff aIs iit," "the Whig tariff of 1842," -as the Whigs themselves call 'it in their hand - bills without acinowledging that, if the express object of its framers had been to edgegg ~ ~ ~ ~~UC libsigegan~tay uld not haveised any thing more efficient. Theoi4i isoiwhy that elass, holding, as they i tical power of the Uni ted States, have not, before this, risen up repeal, is that they have not been allowed to knpw what, taxes ey agergpya , The real amoost'of wha:t t ty p an tax is so blended.th ne pg,,i a Ariclep y-consumet sodcovereupby addother devicesofithe fragera of, ihe tiri9F,*6' iliI iOl -er' ansi rfid only io be got atbNy refer dilo the* Merchant's invoices, which they never see, - that 'tfey pay their money without kuowing..ho.w mu2ch of it might have bpee spared if': they -lived under an equi)ae government.. fithereader will accompany as a little way in-thisarticle, we' will give him an eample.of the msnuer in which the labo ring man is cheated into the..paymentof neariy twice What he ought. t pay for his working dress '., The wollen mills of this country weave large quantities of a kind.. of coarse. cloth worn by laboring men, tinder the denomi nation of kerseys. It has a cation woof, but the principal material ip ;he .cheap wool which is allowed by. the present tarif to be imported on the. payment of the nominal duty .of five per cent. .This wool is brought in enormous cargoes from South America, purchased by the. agents for the mills,: under the eyes of -our own sheep owners,-and being manufactured in to kerseys, io sold at an immense proSt. to be worn by laborers. The price of these cloths in our market -the wholesale price we mean-is seven teen cents a yard. They may be bought in Fngland at seven .. cents and three quarters. The importer'. pays a duty of eighty per cent, the shipping charges and commisuions amount to about twenty five per cent. and selling these goods at the market price-for they still continue to be imported-he obtains the moderate profit of about five percent. These goods are to be seen exposed for sale in the warehouses along our pricipal commercial streets. where any. person can satisfy him self of'ihe exactness of our statement. It follows that, but for the high duty laid on kerseys. the laborer iight pur cl.ase them eighty per cent. cheaper than now; and not eighty per cent. merely, but jf we estimate a profit offive per cent..to the. merchant on that duty, eighty-fivo per cent. cheaper than now. If he purch a sea the American. article, he pays this eighty-five per cent. to. the manufacturer. When he lays. out a dollar and eighty-five cents in .the purchase of these coarse cloths, the eighty-five cents are a tax-a tribute. Yet these -ppople boast of being lite friends of domestic industry. These mill. owners,and their attorneys and agents, who have had the dexterity to procure the passage of a law making their machinery a source of immense profit. vaunt them selves to be the friends of American labor. They. frst reduce the duty on that kind of wool for wvhich they have most -occasion, to a mere nominal rate; they then raise she duty on the cloths for which the work ngman hs most occasion to the oppres live rate of eighty per cent. Hiaving thus taken care that he shall be 'taxed, and they exempted from taxation, they issue btandbils-one of which is now . before us -calling upon the '"mechanice, cartmen, butchers, sailors, end all those whocearn a Iivelihoo~d by their o'wa arms," to attend meetings. designed. to. sustain the very' tarifiby which the mill-owner-is favored end the laboring mian oppressed...

The reply of Dr~ Johnson will be published in succeeding nubers of our paper.

Of the great benefit- to say nothing of the pleasure which a respectable newspaper affords, it is not necessary to say any thing to our enlaght. ened readers. Many.of them know this well and we thank these heartily. fot the patronage which they have bestowed upon us. We wish that they ' may live a thousand years.' and con tinue to take the Edgefield Advertiser, should it exist so long. BALLOON Asc assos.-Within a week or two past, our ingenious townsman Mr. Murray, las constructed some baloons and sent them aloft on two successive evenings. They ascended gently and gracefully, and were visible for a length of time. Some years past, our citizens were rarely favored with exhibitionsof this kind. but they are now, mare frequent. Doubtless, at no distant period, some fearless Xronant will come in our midst and will explore the up per regions in this vicinity, to the great aston ishment of the "natives."
