It is now nine veari Miico we became a
resident of Columbia counlj and the Fro
prielor'of this paper. 'Wo camo a stranger
and look charge of it liridor vory discourig
ing cttcumetancos. The county was then,
and had been from its organization, dis
tracted and 'divided upon the local question
engendering thneo acrimonious feelings
which always accompany euch controvor
oies. Having avowed at the outset, our de
termination to advocato tho Itemoval causei
'wo brought upon os tho ir.alavulrncc of ilt
opponents, and a war has been since con
stantly waged upon us, by n few mdividu
els in Danville, as unrelenting as it has been
undeserved. In our defence against theee
attacks, find in the watmih of our feelings
a a roal of supposed wanton injury to us by
Ihom, we may havo ovorsleppod the bounds
of prdddnce In reply, but wa are uncon
seious of having gone farther than etir duty
lo ourselves and our friends required at our

'remedy.

"val and in sustaining the removal parly, we
-have "been' forced to opposo those for whom
we had the kindest' feeling, and with whom
our intercourse had been of the moat friend-
1 Jy character. But we think we havecon-
ducled'the controversy in such a manner as
to gfve as little offence to individuals, or to
wonn'd'heir feelings by personalities, ai
was possible for us to do under the ciicum
Glances. AC Iec9t, it has teen our aim so to
-'do. We feel satisfi'id, therefore of having ;
ddnc aur duty to onr friends without doing,
on intentional injury.-to our opponents.
Wo havc.givcn to the Removal nn un
aworving and consistent advocacy, and' with;
'the-s'.cadfat aid and friendship of its fritnd-'
of all-political ;prtio3, with few, very few
exceptions, this 'long vexed question lias
'teen forever put at rest, by tlie Removal of:

Upon theso two great necessaries of life
therefore, Salt and Sugar, the taxes are rc
duced more than on t-half fio'm wliBt they
were by the act of '4B. One of the inn in
defects of lliu act of 1512 was that it taxed
tho ncce&stirics of tho consumer high, and
the luxuries of tho wealthy comparatively
low a iWrant initiMiro and a grievous
wrong. While Sugars used by the mass ol
the people were taxed from 02 lo 200 per
cont , swcetireats, fruits in sugar, molastieb
or brandy, and comfitB, ariiclos purchased
by thu licfi, were only taxed 125 per cent
Uy the acl of 1840, theso latter articles aio
taxed 40 per cent,, being 10 per cent, high
or than the duty on Sugars. Look '-gain al
ihe following :

Those articles nro luxuries, and so they
wero taxed tow for lliu advautago of thu
millionares of Hosion, Na'w York and IMnl

puid a duly of C9i per cent, upon liihsrgo,
of 70 lo 109 upon lead, and of 70 upon
salt, the gciiilenun ol Icisura sippod his
I'ort wine at 11, his Burgundy al 9, anil
his Champagne at 13 per cent.! While the
uuty was 120 per cent, upon tarred cableb

over of good thing with a million in bank
njoyed his saidiuee at 20 per cent.!
