WM. BARIIY< Brpt.BI. ANTI-T4BIFF MEETING. MEETING IN SUMTEH. An adjourned meeting of the citizens of Sumter district (So. Cm.) was held at the court house un the third day of September, to receive the report of the committee ap pointed t? draft a memorial to Congreaa on the subject of the proposed tariff on wool lens. Col. Sp&nn resumed the chair aim! the meeting being orgnnhted. the following re |?ort of the committee was submitted by its chairman, the Hon. Stephen D. Miller. THE MEMORIAL Of the eltizrn? of Sumtrr dUtrict, to the honorable the Senate and //cute of Jir/i reeentativee of the United State? of J me rka, in Con greet note mb led. Your memorialists respectfolly (.hew that they urc a portion ot the c itliens oft ho union, and parties to the contract by which the government of the United States wo* organ ised. \s citizens they have n right to ex pect that the general government will res P*** their Interests] as parties, they have a right to put their own honest and deliberate construction upon the great compact, which binds together the various interests and com munities within these United States. They trust bemuse they are not in the habit of pressing their claims upon thc'gcnc ral govermneui, or contlnuully asking fa* vors, that nevertheless, their attachment* arc ns rtrong as any portion of tills union to the federal government. Your memorialist* beg leave to state, that they are engaged in ugritulturc, principally ui the cultivation of cotton as a staple for sale: that the low price of that article now makes the capital of those engaged in its cultivation almost a dead one. After pay ing the necessary expenses incident to their plantations, it requires the inost rigid indus try nt.d <cooomy to save their property from f{*>ing into the hands of the sheriff. It is believed that no part of the union is mere tk-|.rc*Bed or derives less benefit from the capital invested, tlutii that ciii_;igcd in rotten plantations. No state is more attached to her own in* stmitionn than Staith Carolina. No one has mono heartily sustained the general govern* siient. In J6C1 she sacrificed the political pretensions ol" one ol' her most illustrious > ns to the gn?ut constitutional principles tiiniiit4$ii. We huvc heretofore deriv i ?| l,hi |itti?- {iecuiiiary assistance from the general government. During the revo lutionary war, our district whs the theatre ol hostilities, (treat Britain complimented us no lar us to direct htr operations to its almost entire destruction und devastation; ) cl that bounty conferred by Congress on the K evolutionary soldicis never reached Mari on or Sumter s men. This state pays at this time a very large sum of money to her Uev olutionary pen*.oners. No murmiit is heard from us, because, the fund* of the general government are applied in payment of t lie noi-theni regulars. We were particu larly operated upon by the restrictive mea sures antecedent to the last wur. We yield ed a cheerful support to the general cause, and when finally war was declared, we em barked with the utmost zeal in its prosecu tion. When other states were crippling the operations of the general government our Legislature assumed and paid our quota of the direct tux, and raised a brigade of troops to assist in tho defence of our shore** from the ravages of the conquerors of Honapaite. We refer to these historical facts, not as conferring merit uponusjmt to repel a belief, that we are influenced in our present op|>o ?ition '.ocertain powers claimed by Congress, by factious or revolutionary views. Our creed is the same now as it wus in 179*, and it is a minor point with ns who administer* the government, mi as it in administered u|mmi the constitutional principals which brought the republican party into power. The un measured and unmurmuring contributions heretofore paid to our grand parent, the general government prov es how little we re gard money, how much we rcgnrd national character. When has South Cumlina asked a favor from the g'-r.cnil government? When has she received one.' Wc have uniformly looked to ouf own industry and our own state institutions as the means of improving ?.ur condition. The people of this state would scarce ly feel or know the existence of the general government, but in our forcgn relnt on*, in which the Car ill iiiiin character in lost in the United States' citizen. Let us alone, i* now the sole prayer of your memorialists. At the luht session of Congress, n bill pass ed the House of Representatives, having for its professed object the protection of the manufacture of woollen cloth*. We owe it to the constitution: we owe it to our own interest, and we think we owe it to the permanency of the union, to remonstrate against the principle and policy of that (nil. We deny that Congress litis the right to prohibit the importation of foreign arti cles with the direct view to tho protection of domestic manufacture*. Thin power was not directly delegated to Cotmres*, nor can it fairly he claimed a* nn incidental one. A power to tegulate commcrct, dot* not imply a power to annihilate it. The very language used, supposes the existence of commerce. The principle upon which the prohibitory system is founded leads to it* utter destruc tion. An embargo having for it? object a permanent confinement or our products to our own market would be constitutional or not, dependent upon the motive for (undof** (km. If it wcro adopted with a view to com pel foreign nation* to concede a reciprocity of onmmciriai privilege* it would be legiti mate as a mean, Incident to the power > to tegulate commerce. An embargo to abol I ish all commerce* and compel an interchange I 'f commodities between of this onion With a view <o the protection ,t ininuimurcii wouiq dv vwoqav(s%iI 1st. Bvcuuse no direct power to ?p embargo it given. It caanot be at an incident to the power to tnerce.It not onlv ?s not In power to regulate commerce, bet Kit at war with the power given In the vetyxtfutitfe?#' 2nd. It Congress had all power not re*, nerved, it might fairly be shewn that the n< Mimed absolute sovereignty of the ment in this particular, was limits insertion of this clause! sinoe rirt , power, supposes it would be used. A < tion to regulate commerce impoaet a duty to preserve, not to destroy it. A total pre* hibltion of all foreign importations it liable to the same objections. If Ceogrese can famish a partial protection by k partial pr< - hibition, it can extend, and the same policy will make It extend the principle to'* total prohibition, and thereby abolish all com mere c. This we maintain Congress has no~ I right to do. The only other clause whjch b supposed to confer this power, is the revenue claw*. We deny that Congress luut the right to liy ?direct tax toprotectdomestic manufacture* > or un impost, or excite for this purpose,'' The power to tax in given to pay the .debts, uud provide for the common defence*'And general welfare. This Is not an absolute and undefined |<owcr, and We re*pectfw*> submit that no substantive power is gived by this clause save the V?wer of taxation whkn is limited to tht demand of fun& necessary , to fulfill the purposes for which specifio powers are given. Congress has not the naked power to borrow money, or create ?? debt for the sole purpose of laying a tax to* pay the debt; but being in debt according to some of the express powers of Congren, then the right to lay the tax is leghimittely called into action. Nor do the other limita tions of the rise of the taxing power give any substantia c power. They only constitutor Congress the trustees to lay out the funds, not according to their discretion* but for the t>uri>oses, and thoMt alone designated in tho lists of the |>owersofthe general government. It is perfectly fair in testing this power to negative its existetiec by its liability to abuse. It is fair to suppose that the convention would not have adopted a constitution with the power todoso much evil when tliuy were * so cautious in specifying the powers to do good. If Congress has the power to lay im* ' pouts fltc. for any purpose which its wisdom^ regards as conducive to the general welfare, it follows as a fair inference, that the right ? of private property docs not exist in tnlf > country. Congress is then supreme, andtbo only scrutiny the citizen has for his estate and his rights, is the will of a majority of Congress. A single illurration. A B and C merchants in Boston petition the general ? Sovcrnmeut to grant them twenty millions of t ollars, allcdging that it would be for the general welfare to snake a grant. Congress considers the petition, una determines it would be for the general welfare to mako these three men rich and then lay a tax for that purpose; or in other words, they can at ' pleasure tax one man to enrich anothOKfcn extension of this doctrine covers the pMmd occupied by the manufacturer. He says it if 7 f. r the general welfare that he should grow rich, and not being utile to *uuceed himtelfc' he .aks Congress to tax his fellow chiaen* lor '< his rise. Againts such doctrine we protest, and say, Congress never was clothed with the power of taxation to make one rltisen rich by making another poor. . f) ? It never formed one of the articles of the copartnership agreement, that the firm for - what a majority considered a general bene fit should make a requisition on the private 4 funds of the individual partners for purposes not contemplated by the original association* . of the partners. If the power to lay a tax to protect do tnestio manufactures is not given by the constitution, it follows that obedience to such a law would involve neither a moral or lean! J duty, hut rather the consideration bow far " It is better to bear the ills we have, than fly to others that we know not of.* Our fathers assumed as a political axiom, that the British Parliament could not tax them without their assent. It remains yet to he determined, how far an American Congress, can successfully indulge in experiments at1 the expense of those great truths which made us a free ami independent people. Hut independent of constitutional objec tion*, we think a wise and a just Congress will see abundant good cause to reject the inordinate claims of the manufacturers. Your memorialists submit that it is the true policy of the general government to In terfere as little as possible with the domestic concerns of its citisens. Ours is a compound go\ eminent, and the great majority of tho people in these states are more attached to their own laws'and institutions than to the lawn an regulation* of Congress. We think, we may state truly, the abstract proposition that the general government will last hi ve rsely as it is felt. We all concede to Con gress the management of uur external rela tion?, but the moment Congress assumes a. right to mimugc our househdd affaire, to dri\ e our childi en and our servantslrom tho plough to thu 'pinning jenny ami our Wif gons to the mountains Instead of tho eeo shore for a market, a difficulty commence*. These are matters our state I ethtaturo# 1 profess also to regulate, and .the people of this country will become thred of double du ties, and double allegiance. We admire that policy that has Hereto fore induced Congress to omit to cMXho certain power*, expretsly riven. Congress has not Passed a bankrupt Taw. The prin cipal objection to the cxeroiee of this power would be tho ortenalooof the judicial uMjbo rity mi tho tf. mates h*|o the v*ry fcortm of
