On fine fhm nel, 25 per cent.; on coarse flannel 100 per cent. The tax on champaign w ine only 12 per cent. The taxes on dyf-Muffs, coarse wool, ra hidts, &c , are merely nominal, hf cause the wealthy monopolist wish to buy these to manufacture ; but the tax on cosr-e woollen cloin and an lenner is high, be cause they have t.es to st-ll, and wish to excli de tha foreign art eh from commg tn competition w ith U eirs Ttius you see that t.e a li.-le n.osliy usetl hy ife cominon pi-.pie -le Uxed high, while those ud hy .he rich manufacturer- md the wealthy classes are taxed low. At' hese facts, and many mnif, r.re in be seen in the Report of the Committee" of Ways and Meang, printed by order of Ctm gress on the 11th of March.. 184i, while Mr. Barringer vas in Congress, and yei voted against every attempt t: change or modify this abominable system of taxation. THIRD OBJECTION TO THE PRE- SENT TARIFF; In the first part of this Circular, 1 told you that you paid two sets of taxes one t!r the State, at;d one to ih Federal Go- vernment; that the Sheriffs collectc, the first, and the merchants the, second, cl will now show that you pay a third ct v the manufacturers, which, in amount, far exceeds all the others put together The Tariff not only raises the price of f"re,gn- g'"ds , over and above the prime cost, to the amount of the. tajes laid on them, but it also has the effect to raise, in a corresponding degree, the pric of the same kincJof goods made 10 United Staes. , . ' ; To make this plain, let us tab a srnilar case of the common articjof hats s. Suppose it required every year six thou sand iats to supply thejjantfljif the pe pie of Rowan ; but thai the hat maker of Rowan only ropde four thousand: hen it would follow of course, that the people ef Rowan wouldbave to procure the remain1 ing two thousanifromiiewhere els Suppose further, that the hatters of Irpdell county made a grest many more hats than were needed fn that county, and that they were willing to supply Row an -at one dollar a hat; when, however, hats begin to come in from Iredell, and . to Jjejold at one dol lar apiece, the Rowan hatler become dts satisfied at seeing them ell so low, for, if the Iredell, hatters sell at one dollar, the Rowan baiters roust sell at the same price, otherwise their hats wvlhremam in their shops unsold. The Rowan haters say one dollar per haulers not give the 01 profit enough, T and therefore, they orrorm 8omecTvenSe t raise the price t one doN.Lthan.the farmers, who by mean- of ploilghs . lar and fifty cents. How i ibis to bs done ? ; M hy, they get a law pasedo lax the Jreuell hais fifty cenapifcV.henrVr? they are b'oughtTBto Rowan for sale. Wbea the'lrrdell hatters bring tbdr hats to Rowan and pay the tax of fifty cents n thn they cu,hmgerH W one dollar Umulbo' ' io nai nr v wnu n then"oBly gei fifiyfrJentiTt'or ihejrVa.

T e pop:e .f R.van are onligrd to h?ve hais, and ta '.er than do w ithout them, they pay the enhanced price of one dollar and fifv rems.

Tnu. it is plain, thai the fix. or tariff, oi, the Lt dell h ts. enables the R w ii hitters to rais tne price of their b.i- fit- .Tim, which fifty cents tin each . f i 4.000 hats made in R ian, making $2,000. ts t .ken out of the packets f tin Rowan hat buyers, and goes m:o tho pocket of tne R wan hat seer. So precisly does the Tariff opeiate on the price of foreign goods imported into ihe United States. T'-cre ate m the United Siaie many mannfwturf s of cotton, woollen, and othsr goiu's, tui they cannot make liall, or a qu-trt?r a uknv goods as out peopl rs q r; ; ;oeef, itie people of other -.un t'" cc '.k: a rrat ile:d nore ot the same 1 t: t .-e. a.' t ed et - u i e waul for their n rr anxious to sell to us ni we low prices. But our oiauu'aeiu- rero do not "ish 10 e foreign ihU cheap, lor if foreign gouds sell pi eap. thev will hate to sell eneap too, and tuts they don't lil;e in m..

T Th;n if tne foreign goods can be s Id at t' e merrexed pr ee, s can the uortnrra mtnufjjeturers sell iHeir good at the in creased price, just at in the rae of the lets. The tax on the foreign goods goes into the public trensu'y ; but the inciensfil pne- on the American goods goes into ihe pickets of the northern niaiiufactnretH. Now, 11 is worthy of attention to cer tain how much' money is. hy this double eperation, taknfrom ihe people. " , - The public documents show what is the amount of taes annually paid on foreign goods, but we cannot ascertain : with the same accuracy, the amount annually re. ceivod by the American manufacturers by means of the high tariff. I have aeeo va iious estimates, and judging fre u the -esi lights on the subject,' we mv put tbiwrt the sum hi fif'y million of dollars ; that is, over.nd ah-jtr tr"at :hr -A-Mefieao peo pie pay into the public treasury, it n Dually pay to ihel manufacturers fifty mil lions of dollars as shounty hr their e&clu sive benefit : TbeSax paid by the.
