THE TARIFF.

gencer.]
The science OF political economy, like
other sciences, has its fixed and eternal
maxims, about which no two honest and
rational men can disagree, and which are
subject to no exceptions oftime or place.
.Inefc are other inaxi,ns laid down as
be!pnging to it, about which some of the
wisest and best men that have ever Tired,
have been in controversy. The latter |
pass over in the present discussion-5n,
shall submit, few of the former, which
bear powerfully on the point at issue.
/. The public burdens ought to press
more heavily on the rich than on the
poor
2. AS corollary from this, it is IN
sound and unjust policy when they press
as heavily on the poor as on the rich.
3..,d fortiori, it is the climax of in
Justice and inpolicy when the rich are
favored by light taxes, and the poor are
ground down BY heavy ones.
4. The importation of articles Of mere
comfort and convenience ought TO be
burdened with heavier duties than that
Of the neccssaries of life.
5. Luxurics ought to be taxed still
higher than comforts and conveniences.
To these maxims, l feel confident,
you will not for moment, make any OBJ
lection. They are founded in reason and
common sense, and cannot iaillo COM
mand universal assent.
Let us now test our tariff, which, &C
cording to very worthy and learned
Judge, has excited the admiration o.
tic statesmen ofthe old svorld,' by these
maxims, in order to ascertain how far i
deserves the strenuous support which, j
: receives from so many respectable CHI
gems as arc arrayed in its defence.
As preliminary to this investigation
will assume as incontrovertible-- ~
l. That Rohea tea, brown sugar, mo
lasses, and salt, may be regarded al
among the necessaries Of life.
2. That supcrine broadclo,h, kersey
meres, tartan plaids, damask table cloths
china, bon,bazetts, clocks, time pieces
watches, and fine cutlery, fall Within tn
denomination Of articles of comfort o
convenience.
8. Tha, Iaces, lace wells, pearls ant
diamonds, articles of gold or silver, silks
satins, Brussels carpets, girandoles, lus
ire, Cashmere shawls, Levantines, ant
Canton grapes, are absolute Injuries.
Ii now remains to detail the duties OF
these articles respectively.

LATE NEWS FROM ST. DOMINGO.

LATE NEWS FROM ST. DOMINGO.
We have been favored with the Go:
vernment Gazette Of Port-au- Prince Of
January 10th, giving information of the
union of the Spanish part of ST. Domin
go, with the rest Of the islands under
President Boyer.
Commodore Aury having induced the
Spanish parts ofthe island in the north
west to declare themselves independent,
with view OF its joining the Colombian
Republic, communication was opened
by Boyer with the Provisional Junta of
the city of St. Domingo, in which the
former required the latter to unite them
selves to the Republic Of Hayti, which
the latter declined. But in very short
time different parts of the northwest
declared themselves in favor of this u.
Mon. Santiago sent in its adhesion on
the Esd. December last, which was re-
csived on the 29th of that month, and
in his answer to their despatch, Boyer
states that Monte Christi. San Juan, La
matte and other places had acceded to
his government, and were organizing as
part of the Republic of Hayti. The
military commander Of Port-au- Plat,
with the Junta Of that place, sent their
acts ofaccession on the 3lst. Decem-
Der, as did the other principal officers in
the Eastern part of the Spanish terrific
ry; and at length. the city of St. Domin
go itself sent in its acts OF accession; and
on the 18th Of January last. President
Boyer, in general order, announces his
determination to proceed to that part of
the island in four days with consider
able force to secure that part Of the is
land, to organize the new government,
and to establish order and tranquility.
AS the following address comprises
the information from the Spanish part
of St. Domingo which may be depended
on as official, We have caused it to be
translated entire.
