I showed that the Very authors of the Constitu .iioii uegau iufir legisjauve -auuea uuc h?j speaking and Voting ioir a law, designed to be the permanent foundatfon of oar ;revenoesys tern, stamped with the words, Jncouragement to LomesticManulacturei 'V: showed that Txioxas ' 3zrrkasas Vvai a' decided frietid to protective duties', even fnHheJace of a surplus of revenue produced by tnern. snowed tbai, beginning with 1807 or '8, the roost rigid, ac tual, and theoretical protection to home -industry, had obtained as the policy of the country, down to 1833. I showed that in the year last mentioned the Covernment considered itself forced,-by a peculiar state of domestic affairs, to commence a very gradual descent from the summit of protection and prosperity, to the dead level of a j horizontal tariff comoarativo free- trade, and, absolute national distress. This level was reached on the first of uly,.1842: the last round but one' of the ladder had been touched on the first of January of the same year. With tne breaking ot cay, on tne nrst of July, 1842, the commercial and political millennium should have dawned, for no foreign merchandise could bo taxed thereafter more than twenty per cent, on what the foreign im porter might declare to be the cost. But I had to show that the golden age refused to revisit us at the invocation of the disomies of free. trade, and that, as in their predictions they had been false prophets, in out present calamity they were miserable comforters. For then the opponents of protection were Fbee-Th a deks ; they have since come down a peg, and have consented to adopt an humbler maxim in the science of pure economics ; they are now revenue-tariff men. Very well, we accept this partial recantation, in the confident hope that it is but the precursor to complete a mendment. But let us see about this revenue, tariffism, in connection with protection. I pre sume all the official editors, and the M able cor respondents," and the "regular" debaters in the Union, will admit that the tariff of 1816 was a protective tariff. What was the debt be. queathed to the Treasury by the war of 1812 T In 1818 I find it stated at 8122,000,000, (I set it down from memory.) From 1816 to Decern ber, 1833, we had nothing but protection, " black tariffs." and " bills of abominations." How came on the revenue during thjs period of protracted iniquity ? y Why, all the expenses of Government were paid promptlyand we had in the mean time a Creek and Seminole war not unlike that -ol Florida in later years -and the whole of this vast debt was paid off! Yes, this was done in fifteen years. Ask Mr. Chief Justice TAPffY if he did not state the as tonishing fact in 18?4, in hit last official report. Up to December, il837, but two-tenths of the rates of the tariff of 1828 anj'32 had been ta ken off under the comprqmise act ;" so much nominally, nothing really, the legal diminution, in the rate of duties having been -counterbalanced by the prevalence of the high prices re suiting from an expansion of the currency.. A' vast and plentiful revenue continued, then, up to 1837, and there was a surplus in the 'coffers of the Government. The year 1838 camb in, another fifth part of the protective duties were taken off, and the lovly features of free. trade in its milder form, alias revenue-tariffism, began to appear above the troubled waters of the com mercial world. Protection was droQpiog ; was revenue look ing up? During the four years ensuing, the average annual deficiency of revenue, as com pared with expenditure, was $3,000,000; the total falling off in four years was 831,400,000. On the 4th of March, 1841, the debt of the U. States wascight and a half millions, and by the middle of 1842 it amounted to upwards of twen ty mjllionsi In short, the Government was ut terly bankrupt ; with revenues known to have been failing for seven years, its credit was gone, and its financial reputation was the butt of the world's ridicule. By tljo" admission of onaof the ablest aid most authoritative advocates of free.trado doctrines, the compromise act, after the reductionof 1841, was not to be expected to produce more than ten or eleven millions vof dollars year. (See the last annual report of Mr. Secretary Woodbury, December, 1840.) From such a state of imbecility and depletion it is, that the tariff of 1842 has raised the Go vernment in three years, t have noticed an attempt made by a correspondent of the Union to fix the responsibility of the large debt exist, ing at the time of the enactment of the taring and which was increased within a few months after but before the operations of the new ays tern could be sensibly felt,' upon the tariff party and the protective policy.Tonention such a puerile attempt to deceive is enough to refute it. ; Therefore,in the first place, the tariff of 1842 hat protected an. is protecting the Government from the. ruin which the opposite system threat.: ened tobring upon it. VsThis is certainly an important function, but not the most Important of those vvhicK tho tariff basfdischrged.

And the me. chanic trades were in the same state of retro gression or inactivity : people found themselves losing their employments, capitalists their in come, merchants and traders their business. No, classes were repining and calling upon the General Government for relief, but the whole country was demanding a restoration of the old policy of the nation, under which each indus trial interest felt that it bad some stable and se cure position, whereas it was not now assured of continual existence for a month. Nevertheless, from the hour of the passage of the bill, the cry of "repeal" was raised. and that envious and malignant howl, M the rich against the poor." Some articles, which no encouragement of Government could possibly lead to the production of in this country, and which were indispensably necessary to the car rying on of manufacturing processes, were ad mi t ted at a low duty, or at no duty at all. This, it was said, was toiavor a few rich companies and great capitalists at the expense of the ma ny the consumers. 'And this is an argument most relied upon by the enemies of the law for its repeal. It is not to be supposed but that the majority of those who use it are perfectly satis fied of its hollowness and falsity. These ar ticles were not subjected to high duties, or were left wholly free, because, as they cannot be grown at home, they could not be protected. And, secondly, their importation is encouraged in order that the goods, the making of which they facilitate may be afforded at cheap rates to the consumer. It may be evidence of great industry on the part of the able correspond ent who is now doing up tne M regular discus sion " of this subject for the Government) jour, nal, to parade in its columns a long list of ar ticles, intended, as he states, for the use of the rich manufacturers, paying little or no duty, such as camphor, barilla, cochineal, sulphur, vitriol, ochres, litharge, and a hundred others; but what is the use of it ? Does he want them subjected to a protective duty ? Do the poor of this country produce them T Do-the rich any more than the poor consume them ? If they were highly taxed would not the price of the goods in the manufacture of which they are so essentially necessary be increased ? And would not this be a hardship to the poor who must buy those goods 1 Why do not these benevolent sympathizers with the poor, and zealous advo cates for equality of taxation, dwell upon the fact that more than two-thirds of all the free importations consist of tea and coffee ? In 1844 the whole value of free goods was about 819, 000,000, while that of tea and coffee imported was but a little less than 814,000,000. Now there are no other two articles of consumption which would yield so large and steady a revenue as these, and none so universally used by the poorer classes. - Do the revenue tariff men in tend to tax these articles ? I hope some one having authority will give me an answer ; but I much fear that the event will prove that I am in pursuit of knowledge under difficulties. With some experience in political discussion,. 1 am compelled to acknowledge that1 1 recollect no more transparent piece of clap-trap and hypoc risy than this attempt to excite the prejudices of people against the tariff on account of its free list and its comparatively low duties. The country ought to be very miserable ; there is no denying that fact. The poor ought to be poorer than they are, and the rich richer. The prices of manufactured goods ought to be much higher than they were in 1842, and all the crude products of the soil much lower, for the black tariff" was expressly made to exalt the lordly proprietor of spinning-jennies and iron-foundries, and oppress the farmer and plan ter. These are axioms as firmly seated in the theory of revenue-tariffism as are the Allegha nies on their everlasting bases. What do fact and experience say t The country is exceed ingly prosperous, the people busy, contented, and happy. The prices of domestic merchan dise have generally fallen, wages have general, ly advanced, and, upon the whole, farm produce has risenj There is a steady market at home for the fruits of the farmer's industry, and the artisan shares equally in his prosperity. . The great staple of cotton has probably fallen in nominal price, but the returns of the planter are certainty not less than before the enactment of the tariff", and there can be no doubt that the increased home consumption has retarded the decline which has been going onforhalf a cen- tnry. '... "Vr;' ; : : This is thepresent state of the country un der the tariff. What is the prospect if it re mains undisturbed ? The probability is, that if the crushing effects of foreign competition are warded off; as they have been for thejpast three years, that the iron, woollen; arid cotton busi. nest among bur own citizens will become sorae what excesttve. - j Establishments will go up rather too fast ; too much labor and capital will become engaged in . those pursuits, and prices will , be materially reduced. Considerable pe t cuniary embarrassment will follow, and no little personal distress; lThen some or these "opera tion t will be suspended; to . "he t resumed when then increasing wantt of the country shall de mand them.'; The active competition thus ex cited will lead to great improvements, and to the, iritrodaclionof .more .complete processes, and in a very ahorftlme, if the protective- ays; be parsovered shall ;bef at' the hea( of tho manuGctuiing ; nation 3" of the eartbt as., we noV are before' aU people-in agricullurel-rr For; there-is nocountry thar we knowfof so magnificent in its capabilities as this.

The range-tor our commercial marine and navy, consisting of ocean, gulfj and lake coast, can hardly be less than 6 thousand miles. Our river navigation 'certainly exceeds that of the whole of the old world. The region bor dering on the Gulf yields in surplus abundance the most important of tropical products. The . - traveller may journey from our northern boun dary directly southward one thousand miles, and from east to west two thousand-five hun dred, without passing the borders of wheat cul ture or that of Indian corn. The coal beds of the United States extend almost uninterrupted ly from New York to Georgia, and westward to the sources of the Missouri. For perhaps a million of square miles the earth teems with iron ore, Deposites of gold glitter in the ere vices of the Cumberland Alleghany mountains; and from Arkansas to Lake Superior, crossing in its range the fatherof waters, extends the richest lead and copper region that the world contains. Within these two millions of square miles which lie east of the Rocky Mountains, not now to speak of what lies unexplored be yond, what requisite remains to be sought fofl to secure to us a commercial independence as thorough and honorable as that which we enjoy in a political sense 1 American manufactures have reached the crisis of their fate. They were never before more prosperous, were never before so benefi cial to the general interests of tho country. But the system which sustains them will not bear tinkering with. Another such a compro mise as that of 1833 would be followed by an other prostration more disastrous and irremedi able than that of 1842. Nobody who has mo ney to lend would be induced to throw it away in experiments on the stability of American legislation. SAM ARC AND. T 0f Frtm the Greensboro Patriot. J THE RONGE REFORMATION. Our readers have not been inattentive, we presume, to the Reformation going on in the Roman Catholic Church, in Europe, under John Ronge, the progress of which is represented to be continually acceller ating, and threatening to work marked changes, not only in religious faith and forms but upon the whole face of society, in the Catholic countries in Europei Those who dread and deprecate the in creasing influence of the Roman Church in the United States, will not be dissatis fied with the indications of progress of this Reformer's principles among the Catho lics of this country. It is stated, the rea der is already aware, tliat there is a move ment in Cincinnati towards establishing an independent Uathouc unurcri. These German Reformers have discon tinued the use of the Latin language in the services of their church and have put forth the following as their Confession of Faith: "First ThfU the holy Scriptures alone and entirely constitute the foundation of the Christian faith ; the comprehension of such Scriptures being freely delivered over to reason, penetrated and moved by Chris tian principle. becondly As a symbol of our faith, we adopt the following declaration: I believe in God, the Father, who by Hia almighty word, created the world, and go verns it in wisdom, justice, and love. J believe in Jesus Christ, the son of God our Saviour ; I believe in the Holy Ghost, a holy universal church of Christ, the for giveness of sins, and the life everlasting. Amen." Ve renounce the supremacy of the Pope, declare ourselves free from the hier archy, and refuse beforehand all conces sions which the hierarchy may hereafter make to bring the liberated church once more under its yoke. "Auricular confession is also rejected ; celibary, the intercession of saints, the ad-' oration of relics and images. Whilst, however auricular confession is abolished, any individual member of a congregation may, if he be so inclined, communicate with the priest before partaking ot the sacrament; none shall be const earned to do so. Intelligences are renounced, and with them prescribed fasts, . pilgrimages, and all such institutions of the church as conduce to an unmeaning sanctilication of works. But perfect liberty of conscience is allowed, free searching into and inter pretation of holy writ, with no shackles of external tyranny, or bias.

(For particu lars see the advertising columns.) There have been in, daily, a goodly number of up country traders ; who find here a rea dy market for almost every product of the Mountains, at fair prices ; and get in ex change such articles as they have needn for, on a small profit. Some of our Mer chants have been, for some time, trading on the Northern plan, to some extent, which is a small profit, frequently made. That is, for instance, they now make twenty-five per cent, on every sale, instead ol one hundred per cent, as formerly ; and make up the deficiency by trading four times as much. This is greatly in the fa vor of buyers, and no doubt, in the long run, is the best plarf for the Merchants. DC7a The Whig Convention for nomina ting a candidate for Governor, the Regis ter of the 25th instant, says it is authoris ed to announce will be held on the 12th of January. As a matter of course Row an must be represented in that Conven tion, and she will have to hold a meeting to appoint a delegate or delegates for that purpose. Xow it we knew what day would suit their convenience generally, we would announce it. The first dav of January would be in good time, but that is such abusy day here that it is likely it would not do so well; and to postpone the meeting to a later day, would not give time to delegates to arrange business for a journey. Would Saturday, the 20th of December suit our Whig brethren ? We know of no objection'to that time.
