would hardly redeem.
THE following list of private quarres &c. in which
Gen. Jackson has been engaged Is correct so tar as
it goes. Other and numerous petty disputes might be
named, which tend powerfully to prove the unhappy
disposition of the man.
A duel with Col. Avery, whom Jackson challenged
and fought with pistols
quarrel with the late Lewis Roberts, d" who swore
bis ltte against Jackson, and got him bound over to
keep the peace.
A deadly feud with Judge M'Nairy, which by regu-
lar treaty settled just before the last presidential
election.
A challenge sent by Jackson to COL VIM. Coke.
A second in a duel between two boys, aged 49,

A quarrel with Gov. Sewer, whom he challenged

! Mr. EDIToR-"How you reconcile with
son the statements made in your last paper from Niles
Register, that as soon as our government imposes a
Duty nearly equivalent to prohibition, upon articles
of foreign manufacture those articles Immediately fall
in our market thirds and half Of their for
mer nominal value And why is duty upon British
Cottons necessary if our manufacturers can ship the
article to foreign ports, and derive profit by the
! trade 2"
We only know the fact; the why and the wherefore
we do not know but being of yankee origin, we
guest land leave the querist toudge whether guess
right or wrong. We will say then, there two
reasons why Cotons, and sundry other articles emu
merated by Mr.. Niles, cheaper, by more than one
half, than they previous to the Tariff of 1885,
The first is, the more than comparative cheap
ness of the raw material land the astonishing improve
ment in labor saving machinery, by which the mater-
ol Of itself cause
mos; if not all, the difference there is between the
present and the former prices.-The second reason
| is, monopoiss always demand an exorbitant price
for their wares and merchandise. When England
manufactured for the world she sold her goodsat any
price her merchants pleased to demand. When
the business became divided between different coun-
tries, competition took the place of monopoly, and
each of the competitors anxious to SELL at the
lowest possible price which profit would allow
British monopolists were immensely rich-their A.
| mercan competitors were comparatively very poor;
and for the latter to undertake contend with them
for the market, without some legislative encourage
ment, would have been downright folly. British man
ulacturers had the market, and they wiling to
sink millions to keep it; and If our government had
not shielded from their powerful monopoly our infaut
manufactures, TO ullS Gay we SnOuid nave worn the
English fabric, and paid for it any price which her
manufacturers love of gold would have demanded.-
BY means OF the Tariff of 1916, Cotton manufac-
lures sprung into existence, and the consequence is
that the county supplied with vastly superior art
Gle, and much cheaper rate, than previous the
passing oil that act. Every knows the difference
there Is between monopoly and competition; and al

not single handed, contend with the rich monopost.
The latter can, and will, give his goods, &c. away, in
order to break down the former, and again to
himself ms previous large profits But let the hands
OF the former be held up by pubic or private patron
age until his business permanently established, and
strife then 49, winch shall sell the cheapes. rate
and yet receive reasonable profit. THIS is the rea-
son why heavy duty upon Cotton and WoOlen goods
is both patriotic and expedien during the infancy Of
our manufacturing establishments; end also, why ar
ucles OF this description will subsequently be cheaper
than they before had been. The rule will apply
TO every other article OF manufacture which now does

citizens.
