‘’•i - t • men presents the subject 1.1 another point
ol view: consulcring the Direct Tux as n measure of
linniieo ; first, ns u hrniich of a system of revenue
calculated for war :is well as peace ; secondly, with
respect to llie firuro diminution, in time of*pence
ot the revenue derivable Irotu imports; owing to
ebang's in the pursuits of die nation. This dimiiiu
li«>n, 1»<! it noted, was to a great extent, and in n two
t"Id aspect, the ueee; sary ami obvious consequence
ol the protective policy so warmly advocated by Mr.
f irst, in the immediate decrease of revenue
from imports, resulting from fixing certain duties
(ami those on li e most important articles of con
siuiqtTinu) at (lie protective point. Seeomllv, the ul
timate diminution consequent upon the operation of
)hos< protective duties, in nrci Icrniing and cxtend
ing ilie change of pursuits.
••There were oilier points towhirh, Mr. C. said, lie
mi;.til Cit'd dm attention ol tin* Commiitee, I ni tor tear ol
1 diguing llitfin. lie would mention only las views
in irgtiiil I.) onr 1m.nice, ;is eoimeetcd witii preparatory
liioastn c-. A war vxi ti grout llriliiiu, said tic, will iminc
di.itely ill-tress yom tin.dices, a* t.*i* ii< your revenue dc
pen I- on imports,” isc.—“This nation, Mr. C. said, was
laj.islly changing tin; character ot its induslry. When
a nation i> agricultural, depending for supply on foreign
markets, its people may he taxed through its impost al
most to the amount ol its capacity. The nation was,
however, i-jm'ly liecomiug to a considerable extent a
manufacturing nation. H e liud that exterior commerce
j (not including tho coasting trade) was every day hearing
I less and less proportion to the entire wealth and strength
ol Ike nation. Tin; financial resources of the nation will
theielare rl.dly become weaker and weaker, instead of
growing, w ith the nation’s grow th, it we do not resort to
other objects than our foreign commerce for taxation.”
This was very obvious: tho fewer tho imports, the
greater the necessity for resorting to other objects
lor taxation; -so far, at least, as taxation had for its
object, revenue. And, bo it ever borne in mind, the
greater tbo number of protective duties, the fewer
the imports. The greater the taxation for protection,
tho greater the necessity of other taxation for reve
nue. Tim last extract 1 shall give is this:_
“ * he subject i- grave; it is connected with the happi

“ differed from gentlemen in their views of national
honor and glory. It did not consist, he said, in a standing
army, but in the reduction ol the national debt, and the
i expenses of llic government also, »o as that evciy citizen
should be enabled to enjoy the fruits of bis industry, and
lie ready on occasion to defend bis own fireside. It seems
; ire are to have national glory, by opening great milita

Uon and one,II that. Whenever a 1st titer in tho country,
said Mr. II., purchases more than lie can pay for, we sus
pect hi: is going to ruin, and that a commission of bank
mpiey will soon issue against him. Whenever a govern
ment lavishly disburses money, more than her income, it
equally proves that the government is going to ruin. The
national debt ol Cteal llrtlaiu has made a limited govern
ment a despotic one. Establish a monied aristocracy, sr

I hose tidings, though in the course of nature not unex
pected in some degree, will he received with solemn
tee,lings .iy the American nation. One whose name lias
been familiar in every month lor reverence and affection,
is departed; one who was the solo relic ol the days ol our
lathers—their sulk-ring*, their comdanry, their heroism,
their virtues ll.rir triumphs, and all the glories which
have snccecde making n* and otlr country the pride and
the hope ot tho world, has hecn taken away from our eyes,
and every American heart feels as though it had been be
* caved ol some near and cherished personal friend A
whole people claimed the interest of children in his fame
and well being in his life time, and they will join, at his
death, with one common impulse, in the tender and
reverential leelmgs id children lor a lost benefactor and
parent. | heir regrets, though profound, will be temperate
tesigned, as ol those w ho mourn over a dispensation of
I rovnlenei! which was inevitable, and has hecn mercifully
delayed lar beyond the ordinary life of iiinn; of those, who
lor their own sake and that of mankind, lament that in this
world, goodness and greatness dtould share the universal

I)ee,», sincere, and m.lver-al, will bo these sensations,
ar,‘ mingled with them, the consolatory rcllections that
tin long career id the illustrious dead was eminently lor
tiinate. I hc large estate w hich he inherited, and risked
m our revolutionary struggle, while it liirnished his yotilh
am manhood with eve. y rational pleasure, enjoyment J
and aceoiiiphshiiient, eonlormahle to his enlightened and
iii.ertil taste, made his old age one of case and amuenre, ol
generous hospitality and liberal hrncvolenrc. A nun.er- I
oils ami honor able iamily grew up around him, sweetening
the evening ol his lilo with the purest of earthly enjoy
menfs, the communion of the domestic hearth. And at
the close of a career, which extended twenty-five years i
beyond the allotment ol the Psalmist; blessed in all person- ;
al relations, he saw htmseir ihc object of reverence to'
twclvu millions of freemen; a mighty nation which had
grown up to power, and wealth, and glory beneath his
eye, and confessed him as one ol the chief authors and nr- I
rhttevlH ol ns greatness! Such was his career, and when !
has the world ever seen another so perfect in its fulness of
bles-ings and honor in hie and in death.
We have collected, as fully as the brief time allowed us
lor this day * paper would permit, Iron, such popular sour- I
cr.sas are within our reach, a sketch of the prominent in
e.dents ,,, the lilo of CARROLL. He was born on the
-nth ol .September, 17.57, at Annapolis, in this State, and
consequently was, at the time of his death, in the ninety
•■x.li year ol Iih age. He descended from a highly re
spectable lri»h fani.lv, who had emigrated to this country
!" ",0 «'.-l Mary. At a very early age
he was sent to Si. Omcrs, he educated; I banre, after a
sh.ot tune, he wis removed to Ithriui*, to the college of
Louis le Otand. and them*,, to one of the best institutions
' 1 '""•'.V <»l • i' il law. After becoming well
fl !*,H science, In- passed over to London, and
eommem-ed his term at the Temple, for the study of corn
"ion law. Alter ftni-shin-c his studies and his travels he
returned lo'his native find at the ripe age of twenty-«e- i
ven. At this period the discussions between the mother
eountry rind Ihu colonies commenced, and were soon after
tamed on with great w.mnth. Mr. Carroll did not hc*i
* it», hut took sides with the lovers of liberty,
lln wielded steady pen, and was soon known as on* of
tlm most pu.vt rful political wtifortin Maryland. He foie- !
MW ‘‘■"’y [h '* »'» appeal to arms must made, and boldly
recommended preparation*. J i
l.aily j„ I77<», lie was «enf as one of a commission to
ntnida, to induce the people of fh.it province to join us in
opposing tlm mother country. The <lis,,»tert which had
picv imi-ly h.-fallen our arms in thnl quarter rendered the
imssioti iuelferlual. I le returned in June, I7WI, and in
«t inlly Ipsiiio.l lo the convention of Maryland, of which
be was a membe,; and there, urging them to withdraw
the instructions they had given their delegates in congress, j
not to vote lor Independence, at length succeeded, lie
wa« appointed a delegate to congress. On the eighteenth
-'I i y, he presente I his credential* to Ihc continental eon- j
gi> -“ at Philadelphia, and on the second .lay of A ugust fol
lowing «uh < ribe.l his name lo the immortal instrument, lie <
was considered at the time, as one of the most fearless men
>f the age; for ho had more to tisk, in point ol property, than
»ny other man in the whole community, Hancock iiot ex
cepted. On the first day he entered Congress, he was ap
pointed to the hoard ol war, of which he was an efficient
member. During the whole ol the war ho bore his part
with unabated ardor, often being at the same time a mem
ber of the convention of his native state and a member of
Congress; a double duty, which required great energy
and industry to perform; but, so ably did In- discharge his
duties, that both bodies w ere satisfied with his attentions to
each. In 1778, he left Congress, and devoted himself lo
the.councils ol his native State. When the Constitution
ol the United States went into operation, Mr. Carroll was
elected a Senator from Maryland, anti took his scat in the
city «»l New York, al the organisation ol the government,
on the thirtieth ol April, 1781). Ho was elected a second
lime to this situation.
In the year 1801, he quitted public life at the age of
sixty-four—and for thirty years and upwards, has passed a
life ol serenity, tranquil happiness and prosperity, till in
•ho fullness ol years and honors, the Patriarch has been
gathered to his lathers—and the i.ast ok thk siunek*
is dead!

CHOLERA at NEW ORLEANS. xX
The cholera and Jfllow lever continue to send great
numbers to the grave. Tins interments in the Protestant
.VnoW™k at,n0,,,',e', ,0 71, and in the Catholic lo
121—total 102. We have been unable fo find out llienuin
her of v'etuns of each m ilady; luit hope the City Council
will lake Into consideration the «iigg.--iion 0f the Board ol
Health, and adopt such measure* as will enable the pub
lic to obtain the information.
We have been Informed by the captain of the steam
boat I- reedoni, that there were thirteen deaths on board,
during the passage ol the boat from the mouth of the Ohio
— four in the cabin, nine on deck.
We have a report that the ileam boit t hief Justice
Marshall has arrived at the Port, and that thiriy-six deaths
occurred on the passage down.
Notwithstanding we have made use of our best exer
tions to ascertain the exact number ol interments on yes.
torday. we are unable to state them with correctness-but
from what we didI ascertain, they must have amounted to
finny One Frtimlrfd.
Finding it was depending upon a broken slick fo depend
upon the Board of Health lor information, we are deter
mined to undertake the task ourselves and resort to the
bespits Is and grave yards as the most accurate sources
from whence we can obtain intelligence.
At the Charity Hospital, since 12 o’clock on Sunday,
there have been seven deaths, and six patients admitted,
w e have no returns from the infirmaries ol doctors Camp
bell and McK.ul.ine. There were two deaths on Sunday,
at «be infirmary of Doctor Hire.— Emporium, Oft. 80.
At the Protestant Cemetry,there were ihir(y-»ix buried
on Sunday; mid up to one o’clork yesterday there wero
twenty-one burials.
We hear indeed of n great many eases, but are unwil- l
ling lo give eridenre fo unauthentfeated statements.
At the Catholic Cemetry there were -15 burials on Sun- i
day ami "S yesterday. Last evening, when the gates of
this ceiuotry were closed, there were at least twenty
corpses unbuiied. Wc sec no reason why thoso bodies
should remain exposed all night—if there is not sullieient
lorce at the grave yard to inter the bodies which are sent
there, it must he the duty ol the authoiitie* to provide as
sistance, and we respectfully call their attention to the cir
cumstance, under the hope that they will not he uiimind

tressed condition ol the Cape de Verd Islands generally,
from Ihe awful calamity ol famine. An intelligent pas
senger, with whom we have had an interview, states that
the condition of the Islanders has not been at nil
exaggerated, in the accounts previously received in
the U. States, and that the benediction* of thousands
will he poured forth Tor the timely relief sent from
our country. In Brava and I'ogo the distress was
most calamitous: within a few months, 200 persons had
perished thereby famine, and such was their abject ron

avidity, and the ble»ing ol heaven invoked on the donor. !

ershad been spoken by a cruiser, and was afterward* run |

these unhappy beings were deprived ol the timely relief
ol which she would otherwise have been the bearer.
How pleasing must ho the reflections of those in our
country, and in our immediate domicil, who have recently ‘
stretched their hand to the aid of this alllictod people. Ol
such, indeed, is that treasure laid up in Heaven, (of which 1
the scriptures speak) which neither moth nor rust doth'

ADDRESS
Of the Committee of the State Mehta and Free Trade
Party.
I !»«•< ommittcc appointed at a meeting of the Stale Rights
amt !• ice I rade Party, lor the purpose of preparing a ticKcl
tor mcmh rs of the Convention for the Parishes of St.
Philip s and St. Michael, have performed the duly as
signed to them, and submit to their lellow-cilizens, the
names ol eighteen gentlemen, whom they recommend as
suitable persons, to be supported as Delegates nl the elec
tion to be held THIS DAY and TO-MORROW.
In making this selection the Committee have discarded
all private feelings, and have looked with a single eye to
the formation of a ticket which should give general satis
taction and combine the requisite character, experience
and talent, with a deep stake in the welfare of the com
munity. In bringing forward the names of several gen
tlemen whose age and revolutionary services, might sccin
to entitle them to exemption from further service, they
have not been insensible of the sacrifice which they have
called upon these gentlemen lo make; but it seemed to
your Committee so peculiarly appropriate (hat these brave
men to whom we are indebted lor the liberties ive enjoy,
Mfioiild apt in come forth tor their preservation, that they
foil no hesitation in making that appeal to their patriotism,
winch they rejoice to say has been most fearlessly ami
[ promptly met. *
■ V th® head of our 1 icket will be found the name of one
o. the oldest soldiers ol (lie Revolution, a companion of
" :,<btngton, “who took up arms at the heights of Dorches
ter, and only laid them down when the l.ist gun was fired
on the plains of Carolina.” Next lo him, stands the only
survivor ol the Rattle of Fort Moultrie, “a most estimable
citizen, whose modesty is equalled only by his worth,” and
who stands forth now, as he did in ’7(5, a zealous supporter
ol the rights and liberties ol ol his country; and connected
with these, stands one, who, in his early youth, was the
companion ol Marion, and who now crowns a long and
uselul life by a generous devotion to the great cause in
which we are engaged. As fit associates for (hose dis
tinguished anil venerable men, we present the names
of gentlemen known to all of you, ami enjoying so
much of general confidence and esteem, as to make
them suitable depositories of the high trust which
you arc about committing to their hands. The Cri
sts is unquestionably the most important and interesting
that has ever arisen in the history of our Country.
1 he long-continued and palpable \ iolationa of the consti
lutiou.il compact on the part of (lie Federal Government,
against which we have been tor so many years petition
ing and remonstrating in vain, lias at length imposed upon
us tlie painful necessity of invoking the Sovereign Audio
nty ol our own Slate, for tho redress ol our grievances
and the preservation of our dearest rights. The question
is now to he decided whether ours is indeed a confederacy
ol strictly limited powers, or whether we live under a con
solidated Government deriving ils powers, not from the
j Constitution but its own will, and claiming and exercising
I tlie right ol binding the States in all cases whatsoever. A
| more solemn and important question has certainly never
; 1,c.e" »»t>n>iued lo the decision of a free people, ami we
I rejoice that it is to be decided by the collected wisdom of
the whole Slate, by the people acting in their highest so
vereigrr capacity through -their Delegates in Convention,
w ho w ill embody the public sentiment, make known the
public will, and Irom whose decision there can he no appeal.
Inllucnrcd by a deep sensed high and sacred duties which
the Convention w ill have to pcrlorin, your Committee have
presented to you, fellow-citizens, a Ticket composed of
gentlemen, whose principles, feelings and interests are
completely identified w ith your own, and in whose wis
dom, virtue and patriotism, you may repose the fullest ron
lidence. We will all, therefore, not only give (hem our
cordial and unanimous support, but may safely pledge our
selves in advance to sustain I lie decision of the august as
sembly ol which they will he members, if need be “with
our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honour”

I he Union party ol Chester District, having a common

the prospect before ii«; brlicving, as we do, that the doc
tiino of Nullification, as taught and expounded of late, in
South Caroline, is both unconstitutional and revolutions-1
ry, and that if put into practical operation, will either end
in disgrace to the State, or prove the destr ' union of our li- ;
bertics.
Therefore, Resolved, That we will adhere to the Union
ol the States; and, consistent with the laws and Conelitu- i
tion, oppose any act of nullification, either by the l.egis- '

” Asm notow, Nov. 17.—\\ e perceive that the oppo- j
sition prints are giving, as intelligence, intimations spread J
abroad by the Telegraph, to make the impression that the !
President is taking me isures to blockade the port ol Chat les
ion, by revenue cotters, and is marching troops to make
war upon the Nulliliers. There is not tho slightest pre
text lor the supposition, that any one considers such pre- !
cautions necessary, to secure the collection of the revenue.
No resistance, by force, to the due administration of the
laws is apprehended.
But a little while ago, the nullifying papers gave it out,
as a tearful sign, that the President was about to remove
the United States troops from South Carolina, and leave
the State in danger ol an insurrection from its slaves. In
deed, it was falsely stated, and made a grave charge
\ against him, that he had said lie would withdraw the
| troops, for the purpose alluded to. Now he is accused ol
j sending a handful of Regulars to conquer (lie Common

H hat will the ultra tariff parly do?—The effect of tbe
election on public opinion, as connected with tiic ultra
tautl policy, will begin to show itself in a few weeks.
General Jackson recommended a decided reduction of the
taxes as soon as the national debt should he paid off. Part
ol that advice was carried into effect at the last session of
Congress, hut much yet remains to he done.
I he stale ot New York is undoubtedly favorable to com
merce. It “lives, moves,and has its being” by commerce.
Not a doubt exists but the thirty members of Congress
elected by the democratic party are in favor ol the policy
ol the administration on the subject ot taxes, public debt,
and the tariff. The ultra monopolists of New England
have received a blow from thiselertion which their avarice
and headstrong course very naturally aided to biing about.
I he foreign and domestic trade of the country will he most
powerfully affected by this re-election. It will receive a
new impulse. . 1 lie shackles which its enemies have been
(mowing over i( for the list thirteen or twenty years, are
broken like pipe-stems.
In the next session of Congress this wonderful change
of public opinion will most distinctly manifest itself. Fo
reign trade will revive more during the next lour year*
than it has done for the last twenty. The reduction of all
unnecessary duties on import*, the competition among fo
reign and domestic manufacturer*, the absolute necessity
ot reducing manufacturing production here to its most
reasonable point, will stimulate energy and enterpri/.e,
and give a new feature to the future operations of com
merce.—V. Y. Globe.

Defeat e>f Don Miguel's Troops in an attack on Oporto.
The long expected attack on Oporto hy Don Miguel’s
army was made on Saturday 29ili till, which day is held
sacred hy the Catholic Church, in honor of St. Michael,
alter whom the usurper is named, was therefore thought
propitious of victory against Don Pedro. On tin- two pi e- 1
ceding days a number of movements of troops bad been
observed in the MJguelife encampment, all of which gave
note of the intended attack, to repel which Don Pedro and
bis commanders made (tic best disposition of (heir forces.
The night of Friday was dark and loweiing and before day
bleak rain fell in torrents. Nothing daunted, however, by
Ibis ominous daw n, the Portuguese troops commenced the
attack on Don Pedro s line of entrenchments, directing
their attention principally to that portion entrusted to the
deleriro f,J Ihe British and f reneh brigades, under the com
mand of Col. Hodges and Col. the Count de St. Legcr, upon
which they bore down in a compact mass. They were
received with great coolnc«s and determined bravery, Imt
the unexpected arrival of about 600 men to the ranks of
the attacking party, who came suddenly upon Hie French
brigade under cover of a large vineyard, compelled
them to give way. Falling hack, however, on a part of
the 10th eacndores, they returned to their former position
driving the enemy before lliem with great slaughter; but
the immense body of troops, amounting to 6000 or 6000,
together with two pieces of n.lifli ry, which the Miguel
ile general brought against these gallant hands, obliged
them again to retire, wbirh they did into a square sur
rounded by walls, in front ol the barracks occupied hy the
British battalion. I be contest now raged with terrible
fury, and a momentary deficiency in the supply of am
munition lo (he British and French troops, gave, the Por
tuguese an opportunity of committing great slaughter in
their ranks, among which the officers suffered severely;
both commanders, Colonel Hodge* and Count do St. Le
gar, being wounded. Col. Burrell killed, nud Major
Shaw, and others wounded. The arrival, however, of
three companies of the PMh raeadores commanded by
three privates, two of them sons and one a eou«ln of Count
Feetilia, enabled these brave fellows to beat bark the cue
my even beyond their first position, leaving behind them
a howitzer, two nine-pounders, a great number of killed
and wounded, and about 80 prisoners. While the frav
here raged so hotly, the attack was directed with
great vigor against the lines to the left ol the Foreign and
British position, which was the centre, on (he Braga marl, I
and a smart firing of shot and shell tv.is Lent m. from ii>„ I
batteriesou tile Villa Nova side of the liver. But every
where Don Pedro’* troops met the enemy with that cool
deter initiation, which is the earnest ol victory against an
impetuous assailant. Till about t o'clock in the after
noon, the contest was maintained with vigor. About this
lime, the tiring ol Don Pedro’s gun* proved too hot for
the enemy, and they retreated beyond the reach ol their
shot, and thus ended lor that day all attempts to dislodge
the constitutional army Irom Oporto.
Don Miguel’s loss is calculated nt n,.ilr|y 2000 killed,
wounded and prisoners; and Don Pedro’s i* supimsetl to
amount to nearly 500, among whom arc a great many ol*
livers, nearly the whole ol the British and French ollieei*
being either killed or wounded. Among the killed aie
Lieut*. Burton and Soper. The parser ol II. M. S. Asia,
received a fatal wound while vo wing the action from a
station within the lines. Throughout the day Don Pedro
displayed great coolness and decision ol conduct, and be
loro he had returned to his palace he went through all the
hospital*, and directed the necessary attentions to be paid
to the wounded.
A Her the battle, about 20 of Miguel’s men came over to
Don I’edro, from which it was intoned that they had de
termined on being on the winning side.
When the Coulianro left Oporto on Monday morning,
no renewal ol the attack had been made by Miguel’’*
troop*, though it was fully expected, hut in perfect conti
dcnce, that Don Pedro’s forces would again repel the as
sailant*. In case, however, of the worst-, hi* M..je*t>’*
ship* Childers and Oicste* were in perfect readiness,in
Iront ol Oporto, to give assistance and protection to the

thi* morning, bringing Havre dates to the 6th, and Paris to
the oth tilt. Several items of news are received.
[TF Mr. Rives, formerly our able minister at Paris, nr
'ivetl Ibis morning front Havre, in the packet ship Sully.
I he King of Franc lias not yet appointed any ministry,
t Every thing stands as it did. J
The Parisian journals are calling loudly for the French
: army to march into Belgium. It will he recollected that
i * I* renchaarmy was as.-rmhlcd on the northern frontier,’
lor the purpose of enforcing the decree of the Confei cmo
I0,1 11,0 between Belgium and Holland. It has not
yet marched into Belgium, hut awaits the maturity tf
circumstances. The King pf Holland proves to he still,
refractory, and the French call aloud for the movement of
llie army.
The King of Spain is not yet dead. He is in a slate of
convalescence. More petticoats to bo embroidered for
the ' trgin.
A French army i« collecting at the foot of the Pyrenees
on the frontiers ol Spain. The recent movements in that
kingdom growing out of the reported death of the king,
or Don Pedro’s nllair, may have alarmed the French go
vernment. b
1 lie Royal exiles ol France—the Bourbons—aro still
wandering about the Continent.
The peace of Europe still hangs on the peaceable settle
ment ol the Dutch question. That is as far from adjust
ment as ever. The refractoriness of the K'ngof Holland
must have a cause—a reason. He would not show such
a contempt for the counsels or France ami England, were
he not hacked by the Emperor of Russia. Wc cannot re
sist the belief that the European despots are only wailing
lor a convenient excuse to precipiate their legions upon
republican and revolutionary France.—JV. V. Globe.

f B11 IE very high ptice obtained last year and this, (or
8. fine tobacco, cured by steam, may induce many of
you to cure in that way again, unless you are apprised
of the fact, that sttam-enred tobacco has gone very much
out of vogue. Our manufacturers have been the eldcf
buyers ol it. urn! they begin to doubt, whether it will keep
as well, or improve by keeping as much as tobacco cured
in tbe old fashion way by tire. Shipper* have a great ob
jection lo it: your tobacco should he well cured, hut with
as little smoko as possible, especially the better kind*.
