THE NOJR'JPM C iT''Mtt'jatal article in the Globe of the , ...r. ,..rltn we presume, after. hearin J. m. L TilSf!'!, a Federal Representative 'mm- -r- 1 , ir -" ituiuiiuii oTlVIr Fillmore, referring that part ftf the President's Message relating- to the Tariff, to the Committee on Manufactures. -' . , The Globe declares that this move of referring - the subject of the Tariff lo the Committee on Man ... ufactures, instead of the Committee of Ways and Means, is indicative of a design, not to raise revm : ue for the support of the Government, but to protect I' rich manufacturing corporatioiis! The argument of the Globe on this subject is brief and convincing, and we will try to g've the points ? id a .-m.ill space: J 1st. What is the avowed object of the Federal party in attempting to raise the Tariff? Thy say to raise revenue. Very well. 2d. Can revenue be raised for the use of the Gov - ernmrnt by excluding foreign importations by a high duly? No. Because by attempting to make foreigners pay a high, price f.,r landing th ir goods at our mar kets, we drive those rods away, because they will bring a better profit to the owner to sell them a; home, than to snd them to the United States under a high tax for land in them. Bv ln !rr f'lia li:ii'v ti v- I r.. tv . the farmi-r; not the mechanic; not the laborer. Then it must be tha manufacturer and the merchant. Be cause the moment foreign artic!cs are excluded from our market, our homr manufacturer raises the price of his goods; and here is the effect: instead, of this increased price zomg to the Government for reven ue, it goes to the rich incorporated manufacturing company. This is a tariff for protection, and not for rvi"in revenue, as some of the Federal paity would have the people suppose. We think the case is so plain that even a child may understand it; the argument so convincing that the skeptical cnnot doubt. That pa:f of the Pres:dcnt's Message referred to seems to suggest a discrimination in the nrricles to be taxc I; upon which the Globe argues that if the jjreat body of the peo:le :.re to fjpport the Govern ment, why do the Federalists wish to refer the point ofdiscriminatin- who can be.t bear if, to the man ufacturing interest? The answer' lies in the fact, that the Federal party always have been and always will be for making the rich richerand the poor poor er. For by" taxing the very articles which every man must buy, they exclude foreign competition; they enable the rich manufacturer to raise the price of his goods, and consequently the poor man has to pay a tax to the incorporated company, and also a tax to support the government. If any class is to be exempt from heavy burdens, "ouht not the exemp tions to be in favor of the laboring poor, who work to accumulate wealth for the few? Ought not the exemption to be given to their salt, sugar, tea, cof fer, the instruments of their labor, and the coarse fabrics neces-ary to shield them from inclement skies? Justice, humanity, every instinct of our nature would answer in the affirmative, if heartless ararice, pride, and habitual indifference to the rights of the laboring multitude, did not place them, in the consideration of the arrogant, in the relation cfm-rc animals, created rather for the use of superiors, than for the i.'joyment of life." One Glorious Strobe. The late session of the Logilature of South Car olina ha been maiked by the passage of many De mocratic measure?, from which the State will no doubt derive much benefit; but of all of them, not one has given us more pleasure than the amend ment of .Mr Albert Rholt to the Corporation Bill, declaring that all charters granted by the present session, or which nhall hreafier be granted, renewed or amended, shall at all times remain subject to amendment, alteration or REPEAL., by legislative authority. We consider this one of the greatest tri umphs of the people over monied corporations, ever achieved in this country; and Ion; may the old land of "chivalry" flourish to rear such scions of De uoc raey. Noble State! 000 Who would believe it !! The Old Diminion says that the expenses of the Government have been ELEVEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS more this year than they were the last year under Mr. Van Buren. Another 'Small Affair." That transcendant and dignified personage who prints tha Fayetteville Observer, has at. last descen ded from his vtilts of dignity, upon which ho has stalked for some months, to notice a few remarks which we suppose was pointed out to his Loftiness, (for wo presume he would not touch the "filthy sheet" with his own bauds,) in the Carolinian of last week. He accuses the Carolinian of perverting his htn gnnge. W copied the language precisely as lie published it, and then drew our own conclusions, as every man has a right, to do; and had it been such a pcivcrsion as he s;iys it was, he would not have noticed it. But he knew the public would hardly discover perversion where none was to be seen. lie docs not deny using the language, but says we took an isolated sentence, which was as follows: "Just so it is every whore. The largest tax payers are always for the most upright and liberal measure." This is the sentence, and si far is any part of the whole article from bettering it, we give it all as published, and wo leave the'public to form their own opinion as to who was right. Different men will draw different conclusions from the same expres sions; and if we drew wrong conclusions, the Obser ver has taken very "malignant" means to correct the error. But we are not surprised. By no means. For the man who will not submit to a fair competition in business, but stoops to undermining tricks to injure his competitor, will -cropleat no abuse. We declare, and honestly and truly believe it to be a fact, fhot the Observer man has let slip no opportunity of in juring the prospects of the North C wolinian, both personal and political; and. this is by no means a late discovery. But on that head we say no more unless compelled to do it. "Coeca invidia est nee quidquam aliud scit quam dot rectarc virtutis." En vy is blind, and the ruling passion of the envious man is to detract from the virtue of others. Here is the whole article: "Who Pavs ? The counties of Adams, Amity, Hinds, Jefferson, Madison, Noxubee, Warren, Wilkinson, Washington, and Ya zoo, gave at the late election, 2,500 majority in favor of paying the State bonds. These ten counties pay into the State Treasury $155 633 75, or $15,000 more than half of the whole revenue of the State ! Those who pay the most taxes are in favor of paying the bonds at any sacrifice, while those who pay the least keep up an eternal hurra about tbe burdens of taxation. The county of Adams, pays over $35,-auuualiy- in taxes! This county crave 440 majority in favor of paying the State bonds. The county of Lawrence pays less than two thousand dollars taxes, and gave 440 majority against paying fhe bonds, and thus silences the voice of Adams coun ty !" Viclsburg Whig. Remarks of the Observer, 15th int. . Just so it is every where. The largest tax payers are always for the most upright and liberal measures. We have an honora ble example in this county. The warmest advocate of our School System, who, though having no children to educate, has taken a deeper interest in it, and performed more la bor to carry it forward, fhan any other indi vidual, is a large tax payer, whilst the mal contents, who grumble mosWit the tax which it imposes, are those who havejittle or no tax to pa jVJu stances have been known, where meuL large families of uneducated childrenjjjhe whole taxes did not amount to a d oyi have bitteily complained of the tax whiehL Vi School act laid on tbem (amount- mg to pljhaps 5 or 10 cents, for which the were to have iije privilege of sending children to school six refill ths in the 1. 1.

Whether an article ever appeared in the Carolin lan more "malignant" than his attempt at defence. and whether the publisher of the Noith Carolinian is that "malignant being" alladed to by him, we shall leave to other judges.

Wc wish as much as any body to avoid.difTjculty, but that shall never deter us from re "omiiiir, wiin someimng naruer man words, an in sult offered by any man, wc care not ' to whom re lated or by whom begat." It affords us no satisfac tion to bandy words. We can bear as much as any man, bui "the bow when overstrained will break." Prospects Rrigliteiiing. We think that the late rapid increase of the trade of our town, and the general firmness with which prices have been sustained, deserve a parsing notice And another sign of thrift and prosperity, is the de mand for houses, the increase f the price of house rent, &.. Th;se are unerring signs of the business of a place; and we have no doubt if men can be sent to the Legislature from this County, who know the rights of Fayetteville, and knowing dare mnintain and urge them for a Turnpike 1o the West, that Fayciteville will double her population and business in ten years, provided no public calamity overtake it. L,et the cifiz-ns of Cumberland County send 'lie right men, and tliey will get a Koad. of the transactions in the case, to hear Mr Bott's letter talked of as the first revelation to the Prerident aud his friends of perfidy on the part of those who are nov most vocifer ously charging perfidy on the President. That letter was Piper's news, ft was com paratively innocent, and probably sincere; but weeks before it made its appearance at the coffee-house in Richmond, it- was well known to the President and his friends that several of those who had constituted them selves special deputies from the great Whig party to visit him at the White House, and to advise and counsel and teach him, wil being aked, as to his duty all the kindest friendship for the man, est wishes tor the success of tion, and the deepest inten tton of his fame were. in the lobbies and various versions, with him in morning buj tory dec- fact t you sie desceadiil upon ni of liglt anl his itasx prote, hi r shoyr if m oSw Il."y V TV.

Gil mer, after expressing his attachment, esteem, and respect for Mr Gilmer, launches out into bitter de nunciation of the W.hig and their measures at the extra Session, and more particularly does he prer upon the carcase of poor "Harry ofthe West." He sav that a "Congressional Dictatorship, hold, selfish, arbitrary, and itself truant, arrogantly presuming to pre id over the Whig party," and the President constif Mf ing not a majority and representing but a lean minority ofthe people," domineering and over weening, "has undertaken to excommunicate your rep"e.entative and bis friends as heretics and trai tors." fie says Mr Tyler has been first doubted and thn damned, because he would net "bo gov erned by another's views of the Const ;tut ion, and plav pander to another's lusts after the succession." He ca lis fhe Whigs a set of infidels in ascribing the death nf Harrison fo blind chance insfcad of the overruling Providence. He sa3-s that fhe first salu tiifion !iat met tbe ears of the Virginia AVhirs at the meeting ot tbe t-xtra Session was. "Ah! we are strong onough without the Whigs of Virginia, and arc rejoiced that she voted against u, and that, we are rot to be embarrassed by herpecnliar opinions"!! These words were spoken by Henry Clay, whom he calls "that magnificent personage." . We cannot refrain from giving a few extracts from the letter itself: " And the late elections every where, sure enough, are the elegy of the Dictatorship! This is not the first time that the stone reject ed of the builders has become the chief of the corner. Speaking of the Corporal's guard he says: "They have been accused of mercenary motives. There is not one ot them who has not publicly renounced the spoils, who has not proudly refrained from seeking and refus ed to accept office whilst in the representa tive service, aud who has not promptly de clined when it has been offered. Can the reoulars of the dictatorship say as much ? Count their applications on file ; and oh ! how much more infinite it would be to sum up the fawning sycophancy, the crouching servility, the beggarly sacrifice of manly pride and independence ot many ot those wno pror fcred iheir all, and all that they were, for place until it was denied ; and then turned to vent ihe spleen of their disappointment as bitterly upon the President as they had before volunteered their curses upon his foes, and are now the most venomous among fhe ma lignant vho rail aud rage at him for treachery and perfidy!

Globe. Warning Abduction case- in Richmond. We learn that another siave abduction case from this St.Vr- h.i neenrred verv recently. A Northern fanatic has taken off two female mate, and others, on conditon that the vessel li ; t.i i.,nnrri f R ifh. should be taken to Abacco or an English wounded the captain and one of fhe hands dangerously, and the chief mate and one of the hands severely. But little defence could be made, as they had but one musket on board, while the slaves had pistols, knives and bludgeons, made " by cutting up handspikes. They were under no more restraiut than . usual with steerage passengers, and it is more than probable that the whole thing was ar ranged before they left Richmond and Norfolk. Having obtained possession, they broke open the trunks and ransacked the who! -j vessel.
