The Tar Adt.-We publishes last week. the Tariff Act, which is now the law -of the -land. This is a mitterlofsincere congratula tion, andI one for which al who so long'battled in. the eause.o- Free Trade.. have just reason 'to rejoice. It is the triumph of the great prin ciples of,.iberty and equality over grasping -nnopoly. drinding, oppression. We 'now see te , ,fa new era.bursting'upon us, and dimi iiting theigoom iehicbfar-so'long a tine setded'i' porentous darkness upon mur eduntpy. ' sage ffthis bill:inspires us with. ewTeelige,-ang. gives-us the-brighiest hopes -for-a gleriotrs future. It is true -the -Sbuthern Stateshave not obtained every thing that they. esitd rnlesonably expected. But . in skepassg his- teatA4)Dt.hshge. bden jained,and- weirtust, that they are-but an'earnest of greater triutplhs for the fit ire. For a long terms of .years, tho South groaned heavily under the hurdens which were -laid upon our planting iterests, nod men's heart. were failing them, and grew sink Ciomi "hope -deferred." Mauy-were ii despair -end fihr a certain period,- crissseetued -iihpentling over our beloved country. .A gloom had gathered upon every brow, at.l "hope for -beason bade the South farewell." Some of our best and purest men''had esuthe to the mournful ct nclusion, thamt a ieparation of the Southern from the Northern State-s, wvas -preferable to Union with them, if the late Tariff~-'vith its 'aetislity, and its oppression were to continue the settled policy of ihe conn try. But the hour of deliverance came at lihtt and the banner-of Free T~ade is once more floating triumphantly aloft. To our Chief Mag. istrate, to the Vice President, and the other no ble spirits who stood should >r to sh -ulder in battling for our interests, we owe a de bt of the -most heattfelt gratitude, and they will surely receive their reward at the hands of their counltrymlenl. We have said that great points have been gained in the passage of the prcsent Tariff. ;We have reference to the abolition of the min imum and spe,:ific dutiws. In order that those of our reat'ers who have not particularly at. tended to the matte', may have a clear appre hensiona of it, we will repeat what we said in -a former number. "The abolition of the .minimum principle. by which low priced goeds -have an arbit-rary value txed on thorn by government. of four - times their value, and taxted acordingly, and the abolition a'so, of all specific dinnes, -by which a tax is levied on an article, not acltord ing toits valuie,-but with an exclusive reference to the home interest to be protected, are great p ,ints te be gained in the legislation -ot the -country. At-lies beena by means of these frand ulent modes ef-taxatieni, that our country has been kept ignorant, to a great extent-, of the oppression that has been perpetrated uipon us, -for the last tweoty years. There can be nio effi cient tariff for .protection without mi'nirnm and specific daities." We think-it notimplroper, on the presenlt oc casion, to <quote an extract froim the ap'eash of the Hoa.-D.-H. Lewis, upon the Revenue biell, as we find it reported i the Newv York Globe. On the subject of ad varlorem duties, Mfr. Lewis says~ "Ad valorem duties always bear the same proportion to the cost f .the imported article ; but a special duty of se muclh per pound or yard, waseometimes a fourth sometimes a half of the vilie( that article, ats its price fluctua ted in the foreign market. That manufactured goods were cotinusdly declining in price from the effect of~imnproved process of fabrication. An ad valorem. duty acommiodated itself to the change ; hist a specific -duty did not-so that's speifie4uty,.which might havaebeein one-fourth te .vaneef ilgarticle -whe'n na lawpassed, miighthcojeone.half ~tle value afterwards.

Thus Sthe bill pr upoelfeffis over'30 per cent. Suppose an uporter desring to defraud the revenue. indervalued -his -goods.-tipenty per cent. -His article actually~ cost one hundred dollars,:-he presents a, Jlse .invoie, at eighty dollars- hidty,ifiheescapesdelectionziisotili rii.-d se~ htars tna- *fao"tia ither, hizcl -is a gain that-will not pay forthe risk of deteetion and forfeitiue. And; as in'determi. n;if the truth of an invoice, the collector could compare-it with all tb*;Tther invoices 'of simi Tar goody iitported from the same place at the sametime, it would be ilmost impossible for the fraud to sncceed, n less all the'partielli:n that business were rascals. But--the great ob jection'to specific duties were.:that it fell the most heavily on the poor. The present tariff duties on flannel, for instance, were specific say 12 cents on a square yard.: A poor person uses flannel that cost abroad say 30 cents per yard-the duty is the same as on the flannel that cost G0 cents, which the.rich consne. The poor man's tax is 40 per cent. on the value of his flannel; the rich man's is only 20 per cent. The enactment of the present Tariff teaclher us the important lesson of patience and.for bearance.- Long did % e chafe under our wrong and the impetuous spirit of the South seemed a. one time as if it would no longer brook op pression. Some were for resistance at once, b:. wiser cotnsels prevailed. J. C. Calhoun. th. great Apost.e of liberty and free trade preach.-. patience to Sonth Carolina. With his f~r ~~ ing sagacity, lie said, that a better day woni. come, and his brightest anticipations have beien realized. He relied confidently upon the ne' Administration which was coning into power' and he was not disappointed. Hereafter whenever disposed to despond. 'et us think- of the triumph which we have gained, and let our motto be "\il Dcsperan. dum." Let us never despair of the Republic. The Slares oftetfeon. Joln Randolph.-T ho people ofthat portion of Ohio. where the moan' umitted slaves of John Randolph had intended to settle. -rose up against them, and had not, at the last date, permitted them to reside a mangst them. It is said, that the poor negroes had been shamefully swindled out of nearly all they possessed'in Ohio. and in all probabil -tty would ,be exposed to severe sufferings. Newspaper in Oregon.-The first newspaper commenced in Oregon has been received at the office of the St. Louis leveille. It is lated February 5th, 1846. Its motto is "Vestward the tar of'Empire wends its way." It contains a -copy of the Constitution, passed by the legis lature of the Territory. Also an act to prevent the introduction and sale of ardent spirits in Oregon. The editor is Democratic, but says, that his paper will be -neutral in polities, and devoted to the.general interest of the Territory. For the A drerlisr. Mr. EIrna-As a report has gone abroad over a portion ofthis District, which I think is calculated to injure the election of DA.xtEL HOLLAsn, Esq.. saying that I should havesaid, that I had heard Holland say. :that. hewas-in favor of a Poll Tax, I 'feel it a duty which I owo to Mr. Ilol' lanti, and myself, to state to the public the origin of the said report. The report grew out of a conversation that took place between myself, and Da niel Mtheny, Seur.. in which we were speakirgg:of,4he c.auidayl&sWeu .imn-, thonghtfully-(withou' explaining myself to him, as I might have done,) said Hollain was in'favor of a Poll Tax, when he re pliet .howr do you know ? I answered, I thought that I heard him. say so ; well. said he, if he is. he has lost one vote, a. I (he) i3tended .voting for him. I then sta ted thIt I was not positive enough, to say for~certaie. that I ever had heard Iolland say, that he was in favor of n Poll Tax. What gave rise to my saying so. was a conversatin that took place bsetween me and Mr. Holland. concerning the proprie ty of taxing retad hands, to kecp tup the roads, ins-end of wrorking them, to which I thought Mr. Holland assenwrd, but I in tended no illusion to a State Poldl Tax. WM. MOIILEYT. 'August 18th, 18-16.

The Foreign Intelligenc.-T he intelli gence brought by the Great Western, tho' only five days later, furnishes pregnant in dicatiotns of another chai~nge in the.BIrit ish ministry. The general stagnation of the markets evinces the sense of iniste rial instability which pervades the -com mnercial cotmmunity itn Englaind. It is ev ident thattihe continuance of Lord Johno Russ'ell's rule hinges on a single question, the Sugar duties, anid it is also evident that he has to encounoter a formidable op. position froin the fragments of parties which have now united, and ivhich rarely coalesce. The anti-slavery party, of tot hi the free trade and protect ionist divisionh, have avowed their itentiont to resist the equailization of the Sugar duties, andI, al though there is an obvious absurdity in: the discrimination, it is clung to fur some pur pose which is inscruitable to a distant ob server. Parliamentary action on the bill was post poned to the 27th tilt , andi we should not be surprised by the next steamer to find Lord-John Russell left ini a minority when the: question comes to a division, re mnlting in his relinquishing the seabi of office.-Chas.

Adjournment of Congress.-Both How --s of Congress adjourned on Monday tier, at 12 o'clock. the day designated by he joint resolution of the 16tb ult . being the Iongest and most eventful session in . history of the Government. The two most important acts of the session have been to close, by a treaty, a boundary dis pote, which was ready to ripen into war, and by enlarging, through a reduction of the tariff, the limits of commercial inter course with foreign countries, to strength en the securities of peace. A largo amount of necessary business has been left undone. Some of the party and personal squabbles which have occurred certainly do not adorn our parliamentary annals. But on the whole. the public good which has been accomplished far outweighs the evils of a protracted and expensive session.- 'has. Even. News. 121/h inst. Important Arrests.-For some time past the ci:izens of our town and the-surroun ding country have been somewhat excited. owing to the disappearing of several negroes. and vague information received from other negroes who had been tampered with by some white men. A few days ago a white man was apprehended in Cheraw, and subsequently, upon his con fessions and other circumstances, another white man was apprehended in Marlho rough District. Both of them have been committed to jail on charges of decoying and stealing negroes. So far as circum stances and the direct evidence already before the minds ofthe community go, we are led to believe that a nest of Murrell men has been discovered, and our citizens saved from further depredations, at least for a time. Great exertions were made by several of the citizens of this town and some gentlemen of Marlborough District, to detect some of the leaders in this nefarious husiness. and their efforts have been crowned with great success. In addition to the too white men above alluded to two negroes were arrested and comm;tted to yil, not, however, upon ray charge against them, but as witnesses against.a negro, named Arthur, who is said to belong to the gang of land pirates, and an agent in decoying others. It is said that Arutur hias gone to Guilford county. (N.-C.jwith' ties fero meh'anid a'womadt;t'stilen frm Marlborough District, placed under his charge. and that he has a pass to convey them off. The negro woman belongs to Charles Irb.v and one of the negro men to .luseph Dixon, of Marlborough Di.' trict. -It will be well for the people of Randolph and Guilftrd to keep a look out for these negroes. Believing that the actors in this piracy are norse than abolitionists, as they steal to selI for eain, and har the countr -y and this nei:;hborhood int particuhar, have at least for a time got rid of a scourge, a mieeiting of t he citizenq of Cherawv anti the vicinity was hehal on Satutrday last, nt the Post Ollic.--Cheraw Gazette.
