Fayettevillc, June 8, 1 839. I otf. POLITICAL. From the Globe. Salt Tax nml Salt Monopoly in the West. ' The information which we have received from Frankfott, Kentucky, aud which is as follows, -authorizes us to believe that the salt tax, and its offspring, the salt monopoly, has received a mortal blow in Kentucky. The information is: "I now have the high gratification of in forming ou that the repeal of the duty on salt has been under discussion in the House of Representatives now setting in this place, and it was decided, by a majority of six, in favor of instructing our Senators, and reques ting our Representatives iu Congress to use their best efforts to accomplish that great mea sure." Thus, in the popular branch of the Ken tucky Legislature, the great measure of abo lishing the salt tax, and, with it, abolishing the salt monopoly in the West, and establish ing a free trade in salt, has received the sanc tion of a majority of the people's Representa tives, and must now stand for the will of the State. This great and gratifying event is well believed to be the resultofthe light which has been shed upon the salt question by the publication, of the celebrated Salt Document, which was printed by order of the Senate at the last session. Wherever this document went, the salt tax fell; and of this Mr. Clay seemed to have presentiment on Friday last, when he most violently denounced that docu ment, and defended the tax and the Western monopolizers. The denunciation of that document, and the motion of Col. Benton to print a mass of testimony iu relation to the monopoly of salt in the Wrest, gave rise to a most animated debate of five hours in the Se nate, in which the principles of men and par ties were presented in bold relief; the Federal ists going for the tax and the monopoly, and the Democracy against both. A sketch of that debate will be published, aud will be read with interest, as showing the jost7i'ora of men and parlies in relation to a most cruel abuse. For five hours the Federalists, headed by Mr. Clay, opposed the printing of testimony, signed by several hundred men of character, going to show the existence of the salt mono poly in the Wrest, going to show their con nection with banks, and iheir practices to pre vent the making of salt, except in small quan tity to adulterate what was made to sell it by a false bushel to make people take barrels for full weight which were deficient one, two, and three bushels to extort as much as two, four, and even six dollars for a nominal fifty pound bushel of salt, which would not yield two pecks and a half of pure salt to district the country and allowance it, and make the allowance too small, and various other abuses, all of which were proved by the written and signed testimony of several hundred witnes ses. For five hors, on Friday last, the Fed eralists resisted this printing; on Monday the question was renewed, and carried for print ing one copy for each member; the main question on Col. Benton's" motion to print 10,000 for distribution, being yet to be de cided. The zeal with which Mr. Clay and his friends have taken up the defence of the salt tax and the salt monopoly, now gives addi tional interest to the debates on this subject; and this interest is heightened by the proceed ings and the vote on the repeal of the tax in I the popular branch of the Kentucky Legisla ture. The question has now gone to the PEOPLE; aud henceforth, it is to be one of the great questions of the day. Besides the Western evidence on the sub ject of the salt monopoly, and the consequent extortionate price, false measure, vile adulter ation, districted distribution, and stinted al lowance of salt besides all this, the papers presented by Colonel Benton, and moved to be printed, contain other information of great value on salt, its taxation, production, origin al cost, and the fishing bounties and allow ances, which, Col. B. contends, rests upon the tax, and on which an issue is made up between Col. B. on one side and Messrs. Webster and Davis on the other; and, in ad dition to all this, the same papers contain mitiKies of the evidence taken by a select committee of the British House of Commons in 1832 in relation to the monopoly of salt in Asia by the English East India Company, and proving the same abuses practised by the English monopolizers upon the Hindoos which are now practised on the people of the W est by the American monopolizers. Col. B. iusisis that the publication and dif fusion of his salt papers will seal the fate of the salt tax will repeal it, and kill the monopoly, and make salt free: and this Mr. Clay and his followers evidently believe and dread, from their five hours' resistance to the motion to print on Friday last. Seeing how much the Salt Document, printed at the last session, has done, they justly fear the effect of a second one, and struggle to forestal its appearance by denounciation, and then to prevent the denounced document from going to the people. Speech Of Jtfr. IVallerson, of Tennessee. In the liaise of Representatives, January 16, 1810 o:i thr sulj'ect of Abolition petitions. Concluded. APPENDIX AND PROOF. In Mr. Stanley's reply to Mr. Watterson, he read a publication of Mr. Parmenter, a Democratic Representative from the Stale of Massachusetts, which lie thought committed him to the cause of the Abolitionists. Mr. Parmenter did not know if he under stood precisely what the gentlenmn from North Carolina meant by an Abolitionist. I should like to hear him refer to any remark or writing of mine on that subject, or to any vote I Jiave given, other than for the refer ence to a committee. Mr. Stanley said he should like to know what the gentleman himself considered an Abolitionist, arid read a letter written by Mr. Parmenter, in which he gave his opin ions on ihe subject of Abolition. Air. Parmenter said that, in the State of Massachusetts, it was essential to the qual ity of an Abolitionist that he should wish Congress immediately to adopt measures to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia and the Territories, without any regard to the consequences. It was true tiiat he. in common with a very large portion of the people of Massachusetts, believed slavery to be a very great evil; and would be glad if it could be abolished - without disturbing the peace a nd harmony of the Union, or violat ing the rights of others- Mr. P. added that the letter read by the gentleman from North Carolina, was not considered to be in ac cordance with the views of the Abolitionists, and accordingly they voted in a body against him. Mr. Stanley went on with his remarks, and spoke of a number of distinguished members of the Democratic party whom he stigmatiz ed as Abolitionists. Air. S. read some ex tracts from an address of Air. Morton, whose recent election as Governor of Mas sachusetts, the Democratic party hailed as a triumph, to show that he also was an Abo litionist. Air. Parmenter wished to make one re mark in relation to Air. Alorton, the Govern or elect of Massachusetts. The gentleman had read some extracts where Gov. Alorton spoke his sentiments very strongly against slavery. But the gentleman did not draw the distinction between anti-slavery and Abo litionism. The one was a mere matter of belief, while the other was an intention to carry its objects into effect without any re gard to the consequences. He would make another remark. The Abolition paper prin ted at Boston opposed the election of Gov ernor Alorton, and recommended it to the Abolitionists to support another candidate. Air. P. wished the gentleman would define his ideas of Abolition more distinctly. Mr. Stanley said he wished the gentleman would define his. Air: Parmenter said he would define what he considered to be the views of an Aboli tionist. It was a desire that Congress should nknltt-l. ol.ixirir in tlii- District, pi ml in the Auuiioii n i (i v y ... , Territories, without regard to the rights of others, the peace ana tranquiniy ot a large portion of the country, and the safely of the Union. In addition to Mr. Parmenter's remarks, I would state that there were four trials in his district before he was elected. Levi Far well was the candidate of the Abolitionists, and Nathan Brooks the Whig candidate. Before the fourth trial, Air. Farwell declined in favor of Afr. Brooks. I subjoin the circu lar, as well as Mr. FarwelPs letter. TO THE ABOLITIONISTS. Pause and consider, we beseech you, be fore you agiin throw away your votes. The District must not, cannot, go unrepresented. Yon cannot chOose a candidate of your own. Of course Air. Brookd or Air. Parmenter will be eventually elected, and can you hesitate a moment for which of them to vote? Mr. Parmenter is pledged to the support of Air. Van Buren, who has thrown himself into the arms of Southern slaveholders, and he is ir revocably pledged to war against abolition every where aud at all times. Air. Parmen ter and his party revile and abuse you. They regard abolition as a "disease," and contemptuously call it "Negrophobia," and declare it to be "decidedly worse than hydro phobia." From them the poor slave has nothing to hope but "stripes and fetters," and you nothing but sneers and abuse. Will you not avenge yourselves by giving your support to Air. Brooks, whose votes in the Senate prove him to be the slave's true friend, and who, in the opinion of the Hon. Samuel Hoar, and Hon. Levi Farwell, and many other respectable Abolitionists, is wor thy of your entire confidence. If, by doing so, you can efiect his election, would not your votes be "emphatically votes for liber ty?" Your former pledges to scatter youi votes have been thrice redeemed, and are no longer binding on you. Following the example of the Abolitionists in other towns, who are determined "nobly to maintain prin ciple," and cast your votes as patriotism and humanity dictate. Read the following letter, and then pause, before you give your voles for slavery!!! AIR. FARWELL'S LETTER. Cambridge, March 20, 1839. Gentlemen: Inasmuch as, at your former session, you have seen fit to propose my name as one of the candidates to be voted for at the Congressional election, you will, I trust, excuse me in requesting that my name may not again be used for that purpose; first, because that, under no circumstances likely to occur, could I undertake to serve the dis trict in that capacity; and secondly, hecanse, from my long acquaintance with Air. Brooks, and from his acts in the Senate of Alassachu setts, I cannot but feel that his sentiments ou the subject of slavery are such as to en title him to the entire confidence of Aboli tionists. Very respeclfullv, your obedient servant, LEVI FARWELL, To the Abolition Convention sitting this day at Concord. The following is the article from the Lib erator, (alluded to by Air. Parmenter,) call ing upon the Abolitionists to support the Whig candidate ior Governor, Edward Eve rett, at the late election for Governor in Massachusetts. TO ABOLITIONISTS. We recommend to the attention of our Abolition brethren the following paragraph, which is a liter:' copy of the whole of an editorial paragraph in the last Liberator, written bv Mr. Garrison: EDWARD EVERETT. The Governor of this Commonwealth has answered unequivocally in the AFFIRAIA TIVE to the questions, whether he is in fa vor of the immediate Abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and the slave tr?:le between the several States. Edward Eve rett now speaks the language of a patriot, a Republican, and a christian. We believe it is the real language of his soul. When, a few years since, he took opposite ground, he did violence to his convictions of right, and committed a grievous error. We are dis posed to obliterate all that has gone before, and to commend him for his present honor able course. To refer individually to what he said when public sentiment was deeply corrupt,. would be ungenerous; to charge him with being insincere at the present time would be unjust; to accuse him -of seeking popularity would be equally uncharitable. It is not vet a popular thinir for the Chief Ala gist rate of this Commonwealth to avow himself in favor of immediate emancipation; and until he shall prove recreant to his pre sent professions, it is to be taken for granted that he means just what he says. In our opinion, he ought to receive the undivided support of the Anti-Slavery voters of this Commonwealth; nay, they have pledged to him their support, inasmuch as he has de clared himself to be in favor of their princi ples aud measures. We likewise recommend to the attention of our Abolition brethren the following un mutilated and literal extract of a communi cation in the same paper, by "A Alember of the Alassachusetts Anti-Slavery Board." GOVERNOR EVERETT'S LETTER IS SATISFACTORY. His endorsing Air. Alvord's report does not weaken his answer, but strengthens it, for. that report was full of the soundest Abolition doctrines. THE GOVERNOR SHOULD RECEIVE THE VOTE OF EVERY ABOLITIONIST. Some who call themselves such, but whose hearts are more with their party than with the slave, may stilt go back to Edward Eve rett's old misdeeds. Let me tell them this is unfair. In the circumstances of the case, it is almost treacherous. Air. Borden asked Governor Everett's opinions, not as an indi vidual, hut as representing the Abolitionists o-enerally. The Governor answers at once and unequivocally. Is it for us to turn round, and charge him with insincerity? This would be a gross outrage. Why did we ask bim if we did not mean to judge him by his an swer? Jude Alorton's and Air. Willis's letters are verv much alike. They give no informa tion. They tlo not answer the simplest of all possible questions, so that a plain man can tell what they mean. Judge Alorton refers to a letter written two years ago, which, when yon look at it, is no more of a reply than the present. That letter contained j some yery handsome and flowing jjferiods aLout his detestation of slavery, &c. ft, perhaps, served its purpose pretty well in its day; what would do for 1837, will not do for 1SS9. These vague professions of Judge Alorton amount to just nothing at all. There is nothing in them you can put your finger on. If the Abolitionists aretobesat isfied with such unmeaning generalities, let me tell you, the politicians will never give them any thing else. Air. Stanley also read a letter of Air. Wil liams, of Alassachusetts, in which stronrr op position to slavery was expressed. Whether Air. Williams is, or is not, an Abolitionist, I know not. But I have it from a source which cannot be questioned that his Whig oppo nent for Congress (Nathaniel B. Borden) was an active member, if not President of an Anti-Slavery Society, and was supported by Garrison's Liberator, in Boston, the or gan of the Abolitionists in that State which opposed Mr. Williams, and did not consider him as coming up to their views. Moreover, I find, by reference to the journal of the last session of Congress, that Air. Borden voted again3t Air. Atherton's resolutions through out even against that resolution which de clares that Congress has no power to do that indirectly, which it cannot do directly. One of the largest Democratic conventions ever held in the State of Ohio, was held at Columbus on the 8th of January, instant. Among other resolutions which were unani mously adopted, I find the following in re gard to Abolition. They go the full length in support of Southern institutions: Resolved, That, in the opinion of this con vention, Congress ought not, without the consent of the people of the District, and cf the States of Virginia and Alaryland, to abo lish slavery in the District of Columbia; and that the efforts now making for that purpose, by organized societies in the free States, are hostile to the spirit of the Constitution, and destructive to the harmony of the Union. Resolved, That slavery being a domestic institution recognized by the Constitution of the United States, we, as citizens of a free State, have no right to interfere with it, and that the organizing cf societies and associa tions in free States, in opposition to the in stitutions of sister States, while productive of no good, may be the cause of much mis- chief; and while such associations for politi cal purposes ought to be discountenanced by every lover of peace and concord, no sound Democrat will have part or lot with them. Resolved, That political Abolitionism is but ancient Federalism under a new guise, and that the political action of Anti-Sla very societies, is only a device for the overthrow of Democracy. Before the New York election in 182S, the black Abolitionists of the city of New York held a meeting, at which they adopted resolutions "earnestly" requesting their "co lored brethren' to vote the "whole Whig Ticket." Their proceetlings are subjoined. ALL MEN ARE BORN FREE AND EQ.UAL! T9 THE COLORED CITIZENS OF TH2 CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK ! At a resectable and numerous meeting of the colored fret-holders of this city, held at Wilberforce Hall, Ir. John Fort was called to the chair, and William Johnson was ap pointed Secretary. After the minutes of tT;t- previous meeting was read, Air. FortJ the chairman, moved that the minutes be so amended cs to read, "that the colored citizens of New York be earnestly requested to vote the Whole Whig Ticket Nominated at Alasonic Hall;" which, after considerable discussion, was adopted. It was then moved and adopted. 1. That Wm. H. SEWARD, having, in his letter to the committee of Abolitionists, shown himself more friendly to the abolish ment of all distinction, as far a.i regards COLOR, than the candidates of the Demo cratic party, we agree to give him our unanr mous support. 2. That LUTHER BRADISH has shown himself the unqualified friend ofhutpan rights, and, in consequence, shall. receive the votes of every colored citizen in this city. 3. That the Congress and Legislative ticket, of the Whig party shall also receive our support. The following gentlemen were then ap? pointed a Vigilance Committee: Thaddeus Silay, John Piper, John Bonser, George Douglass, T erence Sample, Hannibal Allen, Cato Smith, Wm. Johnsonj John Smith, John Blake, Parker Downing, Csesar Alolt, Anthony Aloore. JOHN FORD, President. Wm. Johnson, Secretary. The Vigilance Committee will be in atten dance at this place during the three days o the election. Our friends who were not at the meeting will please provide themselves with tickets by calling on the members of the Colored Whig Freeholders Vigilance Com mittee. The following confidential circular was also sent to the Whig Abolitionists, by Arthur Tappan, previous to the New York elections in 1S3S. Dear Sir: Enclosed you have a list of the jiublications by this Society, to which you will please direct any ol our Whig Friends' who may desire a knowledge of the truth. ' I am gratified that our Abolition friends are to be found on the Whig side rather than tho Loco Focos; for the cause of the country and of humanity ought to go together.
