Ile is a native of Columbia, to says the OharlestoB Secretary Memiuinger. Amidst tho loud objurgation of th? preig, ?et on by that fonl-'mnnthedzoilus Mr. FOOTE of Ten-.' nes*e?, the honored Secretary of thc Treasury ! basretired, or if tihout to relire, from ulfiea. Fur 1 ?reeks before t\ie adjournment of Congress,. Mr. . FOOTS reveled in hi* dirty work of ca.!uinniiiti>.n, j bij^bjaf amusement being, the reviling of tlic j Secretary of the Treasury. If it wero Mr. FOOTE alone who wyt? engaged in this systematic attack upon .the Government through Tts chief trTieors,. we sbo?ld rogar? our time es miserably mispent in noticing him at all. But these assaults upon tho Government derive their importance from the fact that Mr. F. is but the tool in the bands cf other men, who themselves having some charac ter to lose , aad some deceney left, are ashamed tobe sr-en in ibis work, and therefore put Mr. FOOTE forward to de their dirty j .bs. ?'ut this faction may rest assured that it is be yond thrir power to'shake the confidence of the country in such aman as Mr. MB^MIXCER-either in %is ability or bk integrity. Mr. Mann IMO ER is well kiiown,nnd duly appreciated in his native State, and South Carolina may weil bo proud of such a son;' he a self made min uudhm "fuught bis way up from foi ranks." Ile owes his present J eminence to no adventitious circumstances; bou c^ty, industry and ability bavo w*n for him the confidence of those whose confidence ir best worth haying. His intellect is olear and mnssive, ; JS scifing wonderful power of analysis and orJ.er.; bis patriotism is pure and'unimpeacbafale, and he bus,ri?ked more upon- tho isfue of this war than most of those who are traducing bim. As a Fi nancier be is practical und profound, having hud much experience both as legislator and Bank officer. As a man he is honest afi*d ii jerruptible. Cease viper j you "bite against a file." 3Ir. ME?: itrscErt's friends therefore ncod give themselves j ne uneasiness about his reputation ; and Mr. M. F j himself in tho ?aim security cf his own position, moy woll say to his assailants nf all ' degrees : "Tray, Bl?wch, and Sweetheart, little dogs ead all, see how they bark at me." . ?. - But what, after all, is the meaning of this bowl ing that bas been sot up at the doer of tho Treas ury? What do-theso men want. What would they bavo bad ? 'The country is in trouble they say; tue currency is- terribly deranged-aral henee, sumo one is to bo hunted down as a scape goat. And they can think of no one more fit than tho Secretary of the Treasury. Well, let us soo. The country i's in trouble, tho currency ii deranged, but'does it follow that the blame justly lies 'at-tho door .of tho Treasurer? We aro told that all these financial difficulties could have boen avoided by a timely and proper.system ol taxation. Admit it for a moment; Lut had' Mr. MKJIIIINGKR tho power--of taxing the country i We believe that the.Constitution vests that powei solely in Congross. Hence thc blame lies upor Congress, and not upon tbb Treasurer^ Int th? ea tire argument about Taxation at tbe beginning of the war is a shallow fallacy. A direct tux and our Government baa no means of using wha is usually called indirect taxation-in 1861/suffi ciont to carry on the var, would have been t measure utterly suicidal to our cause. If, at tbi beginning of the war, the people had been laze' directly to the amount of $300,000,000 or $460, 000,060-which experience shows to be the sun necessary to support tiro Government at this tims -the war would at once have become the mot unpopular measure ever embarked in by a Govern ment. A peace or union party would have bcci organized ia every State, the fearful consequence of which no man can now contidoutly affirm, bu may easily conjecture.. Many reflecting und in fl?eatial men believed m 18G1 that, wt? could thei make i&fu and reasonable tirea* with tho-UaiUi j States; and DI irv selfish and timid men woub j .have sacrificed the independence of their couti tr; j sooner than dared the trula and suffering* of thi ?j ! war if they had been made to realizo but part o r j them at the out;et. It baa bren by the wisdom of our own Govern ment and thoinadueis and folly of the enemy or more propeily speaking, the special provident cf God-that our pei ule have been led, step b; step, seeing but one step at $ time, until they ari placed in a position from which th:re is now ni step backward-where th*y must cither conque or perish. The people were net 'prepared at tht outset for the taxation accessary to support th war; they had to be traicud up to it. This train ing they soon received at the handel of a savugi enemy who declared against ns a war bf extermi nation, ordered out a million of mcG to eaccari his fiendish purpose, hegan tho work of cva.itu lion by murdering our citizens in cold blood, bur ning our towns, eoininittwig violenco upon oui woir.en, b;ying waste our country generally, ano fiuullj*) by dedaring our slaves free and all eui oroporty confiscated. Then tho monstor stooc unveiled ; and then every Southern man stood bj his arms, resolved, if necessary to perish in thc c.-aflict. Thus our people have been wisely train ed up to the point where they will bear an] amount of burden or taxatiun necessary for tin support of this war and the maintenance of thou liberry. * Where then ii the reason and sonso in this out cry about taxation ia tim?? Will men who sit ir Congress and who fill Editorial chairs, never lean t. f that wanie* ere not always significant of thing? Have* we not bad taxation in pojnt of fact from the beginning of the war ? How otherwise hzt tho war been sustained ? What was the issuing of bills of credit or Treasury notes but an indirect taxation ? If direct taxation had been adopted by the Government, for what purpese would it have been done? To feed, clothe, and equipan army. Four hundred million would have been paid eut again by Quartermasters and Commissa ries for the Army, and the planters and merchants would have been paid for food and clething for ; I the Army in the same monoy which thoy had just.paid to Government in tho- shape- of taxes. In other words, the planters and morcbanta wouldiimply have supported the army without compensation. How stands tho mattor under Mr. MEHXINOBR'S system ? He Ital issued $800,000, 000 or $1000,000,000, and with these Notes bo hal purchased from planters and merchants the ne cessary supplios for the army. These Notos are nowin the bands of the poople to do with tht m as they sec fit. If they decido to repudiate the debt, why then they hove simply sold army sap plies to Government, and -will get no paj^ If they decido against repudiation, then they mutt fae taxed hereafter.to pay tho interest upon those Treasury notes-or national debt. t?o it must be manifest to the common senso of every man that the problem worked out either way gives just tho samo result. " Strango all this difference- should bo .'Twijft tweedledum and tweedledee." How'could it bo othorw.se ? Is any man silly enough to bolieve ibat the hoous-po?jts of legis lation could produce bacon and blankets and ball j cartridges. These things bud te bcTTOpplhid to carry on the war, nnd who was to supply them ? ! Not Mr. MnMinyoERvQUt ofbia private puno; ! we t-uppose even Mr. FOOTS would admit that. I Then they must bo suppliod by tho poople of tho I Confederacy, and who wo? to "foot tho bill?" We think it a quostion more easily asked thnaj answerod. We would be glad if Mr. FOOTE wen hi point out who ia to pay thc bill.* In short we wr.re in for a long und bloody war; Kn army bad To be equipped ?lid kcp? in tho fitild, and who wai j to pay the expenses? 'Jbe Government? Why j th?
