fally adjusted, and so adjusted as
tderfero as little as possible with

e'st of the people at large that
1 t? shall be able to buy cheaply
atevor they have to buy. Our pro.
nt 'tariff of duties on imports com
ele the many to pay high prices for
e benefit of a few. Although en
act.d4arlin tb great need of the

No government has a rig t to tax ex
cept to obtain its neces revenue.
To impos. taxes upon artio&. of dai.
ly need for the mere purpos, byin.
creasing their price, of favoring the
capitalists engaged in their maanufac
ture or production is an abuse of the
taxing power. So long as laws are
enacted upon this principle, pdworful
combinations will be, forme, among
those whose special interest are to be
beneficially affeoted by them, to push
through schemes which favor their
private business, regardless of the in
6l.eta alike of the people and of the
building up of moneyed monopolies,
to tho aggregation of capital in few
hands, and to the creation and strength.
oning of an illegitimate intuence to
which Cougress becomes more and
more subject. In enforcing duties
intended to be prohibitory, an extra
ordinary and very costly body of offi
cials is made necessary, the tompta
tion to smuggling and fraud is in
creased, and official delinquency is
made common ; evils which would be
avoided, while the revenue would not
be decreased, by a return to the sim
ple duty of government and to mode
rate imposts. To nuake a just tariff
of duties the principle of favoriti m
should be abandoned altogether. If
the principle be admitted, no limit
can be placed on the abuses under
It.
GENERAL FINANCEs.
I protest against the continuance of
a financial policy which fails either to
strengthen the public credit or to di
minish the people's burdens; which
baffles bnsinesi foresight; which, while
p fl1ittjng the. sale of ,!Qvernntcnt
gold, leaves the country sub ect to all
the evils of an irredeemable paper
cuirency ; which threatens to withdraw
from the people what is now in use as
money before providing a substitute ;
which, undefined in char;cter and va
riable in action, exposes the business
of the country conataptly to the chan
ces of disastrous panics; which seeks
to exert a fluctmting control over the
gold market, instead of making steady
progress towards permanent soundness
in financial condition; which can aug
gest no method of meeting the legal
tender promises, except to get them
back from the people by a process of
contraction both painful and danger.
ens; which neglects to redeem the
legal tender notes held everywhere
among the people; yot, with the pro
ceeds of excessive taxation, purchases

ment is under no obligation to pay for
nearly fifteen years; whiola saves a
few millions annually in interest on

fostering, in its stead, a spirit of spec
ulation, the mosey which we use to de
ote the valu of what we have to
buy and sell every day, and in which
we fix the rate of wages, must be con
stant in its own value and not liable
to capricious fluctuations.
It ls a misfortune that we over do
parted from the use of the money of
the constitution. Sooner or later we
shall be obliged to go back to it. :We
have before us the alternates of re
turning to a sound condition by wise
and prudent efforts of our own, or of
awaiting the possible advent of a fi
nancial panic of greater intensity
than we have yet witnessed;and a re
turn to specie payments, at the cost of
great and protracted suffering, by the
operation of self-enforcing laws which
are above our control.
I do not believe that any contrac
tion of the legal tender ourrenoy is
necessary in order to reach specie pay-i
ments. The amount of such paper is
limited, and it is not seriously depre
ciated. We have not, as some other
countries have done, issued paper
noiey without limit and to an un
manageable extent, making the do
preciation of it so great as to render
it almost worthless and its restoration
to par hopeless. The whole sum of
the legal tender notes scarcely ex
ceeds the amount of coin received in
two years at our (Justom Houses.
The amount of legal tender notes
afloat on the let of December last was,
including fractional currency, $395,
000,000. The present annual gold
income of the Treasury from import
duties is $180,000,000. With the
abundant resources of the federal
Treasury it ought to be, and it is pos.
sible, to leave this currency at its
present quantity, and yet put it, at
no very distant period, at par, and
thus to give settled prosperity to the
people and save them the distress
which will attend contraction.
After the peace of 1815 England
returned to specie payments by con
tracting the volume of her paper
money. She had no other means of
reaching the result. She was not, as
we are a gold producing country ; and
was obliged therefore to curtail her
payer currency so as to force gold to
flow in to her froni abroad. In Con
sequence of this policy the trade and
business of her people were crippled,
general distress ensued and immense
numbers of those who lived by wages
were deprived of their proper em
ploywent and condemned to idlenees
and Want. The ten years from 81'5
to 1825 was aperiod of fearfulsuffer
ing in Euglanu and of epeate4 and
most disastrous finanoial convulsions.
We should take warning from her ex
perience. We have no ocoasiot to
force gold from abroad. We produce
it largely at home, and all we need
to do is to retain enough of our own
product to effect our purpose.

fixed policy, intelligible to the whole

the change, when it comes, shall be

than it is now. But no; time should

If the federal government does not

PILr.SDURY AND HIs COUNCIL Door
ED.-Cl.UMHIA, January 7.-In the
House to-day, DeLarge gave notice of
a bill-which, by unanimous consent,
received its first reading-to extend
the limits of the City of Charleston,
and to provide for the election of mu
nicipal officers therein. The bill pro
poses to extend the city limits to- the
Six-mile house and to Goose (rook
Parish lino,. which, it is calculated,
will bring in a large majority of Re
pu4ienua voters. It also provides for
* ita huuteaid w'hen the general else.
Qt rours.nat eber. It is al.
era of the bill is to get rid of the
present Mayor and Aldermen. They
urge that by a change they may get
bettor officials, but cannot get worse.
The bill will pass with hardly a dis
senting vote, and. will receive its sec
ond reading to-morrow.
ThQ members of the Legislature
express uniqualiied diivp proval of the

They say that it is unrepublican in

hands of the rich beoaue the poor

is further objiected, that lawyers liv

A YANK- u T.tc.--Ono of our pe
culiar, shb-sided gaunt Yaukee late
ly emigrated and settled down in the
West, He was the picture of a menu
man, but as he put. him 'elf to work ins
good earnest to got h's house to rights,
the neighbors lent 1.}m a hand. Af
ter he had got everything fixed to his
notion, a thought struck him that ho
had no chickens, and he was piowerfully
fond of sucking raw eggs. Ile wai
too honest to steal them, and too
mean to buy them. At last a thougit
struek him -lie could borrow. Ho
wet t to a neighbor and thus accosted
him:
"WaT1l, I reckon you hasn't no old
hen nor nothin' you'd lend me a few
weeks, have you neighbor?"
"I will loud you one with plens
ure," replied the gentleman, picking
out the very finest in the- coop.
The Yankee took the hen home,
and then went to another neighbor
and borrowed a dozen eggs. He then
set the hen, and in due course of time
she hatched out a dozen chickens.
The Yankee was again puzzled.
lie could return the hen but how was
he to return the eggs ? Another idea
- and who over saw a live Yankno
without one ?--lho would keep the
hon until she had laid a dozen eggs.
This lie did, and then returned the
hen and eggs to their respective own
ers, remarking, as he did so, "Wal, I
reokon I've got as line a dozen of
ehiokens as you ever laid your eyes
on, and they didn't cost we a cent,
nuther."

iNIA.-E-U mgnmauder Matthew F.
Maury ha- published'a letter in the
Virginia papers on t1. departure of
colored persons from the State. II
offers the following caloulations :
"The public pross states that there
are now in Virginia two agents, onu
calling for 5,000 the other for 15,000.
able-bodied negroes to go South.
Lot us supposo that there twenty thou
sand able-bodied men go-and proba
bly a larger number in the oggregate
than that will go, for there are
undoubtedly numerous agen'.s at work
sending them off.
"The life-long services of an able
war, valued at from $1000 to $1400
let us call it $1000. With the exodus
of these twenty thousand laborers the
State loses $20,000,o00 of its indus
trial capital. Before the war such an
exodus would have left $20,u00,000
in its stead. Now the loss is total and
tompleto. Nothing is left but the
old, the feeble' and infirm, who woro
dependent upon these nble.bodied
men, and whom those who remain
have to care for.
"Yes, they left, something more be
hind ; they left the lands they have
been cultivating to be turned out in
to old fields;: to become waste, and
grow with pine, briers and scrub, and
thus, by increasing the area of uncul
tivated lands, dimuinish the market
able value of real estate in Virginia."

One of our "dead head" subscribers,
who happened to be over ins Charles
ton the other day, tells the following .
A fellow represeuting a Boston
bucket factory came ashore from a
stenamer, carrying about a dozen di
minntivo specimens of his merchiandize,.
und taking up the flest street he camne
,to, offered them right anid left. He
had not progressed far before a negro
policeman arrestedl mnd carried hIm
befr aoal-black justice, charged
with poddling without license. 'T'he

the cool sum of $100, but rovndly
lectured the man of buckets upon his.

.O the same day another drummer'
from New York was arraigned before
his sable honor for the same offense..
The rumnmer insisted that ho had!
soad nothing, orzly. being offering, but
had ado no soles. Whereupon tho
Iblack dignmitary told him to prov6 that,.
but while hunting up his proof ho
must leave $50 by way of bail. The.
daummer handed over the money,.
went out and brought in three or four
