'A'HE Taxes for the present year are now due

were the last year. 1t is highly important from
various considerations that they shall be collected
with all possible despatch. This is the last year
Of the present incumbents administration, and
the collection of old claims ale always unnlea.
SAINT and troublesome
We should do violence to our own feelinos.
and great injustice TO the citizens of Augusta 9e.
neraliy, were we herein to omit tenderinp our
slncerest thanks to them, for the prompt manner
IN winch the revenue was paid last year. Never
were better collections made in any county nor
with less distress TO the people. We see no rea-

For the s,auptou Spectator

MIR. Editor,--in your paper Of last week, you have
Inserted an article from the Charleston Mercury, (Which
you erIoncousiy CALI Mr. Calhouns organ) in which is
avowcd its preference fo< Mr.. CLAY If MIR. Calhoun
should not receive the support Of the people. This
ucie Is taken from old number Of the Mercury and
from the manner OF its insertion in your paper most
readers will suppose have been recently pcnncd
and with especial reference to the present contest.
Though not immediately connected politically other
WISE either with Mr.. Calhoun the hcrcnry and only
passing through STANTON my way from Charleston TO
heSprngs, cannot forbcar asking you TO give in your
next NUMBER the date Of the article you have inserted,
aud Of the state of parties the at
that time, and thus furnish your readers with. the
WHOLE TRUTH.
With regard TO the above @e will just remark
that the article from the Mercury published in
last paper was clipped from an exchange paper,
we of course surprising it to have been late
thing. We are glad that we have been corrected
for we wish to do no injustice either to Mr. Cal
houn or his friends. but we do not marvel that
any one should have fallen into an error i'm sup
posing The Mercury's article to have been lately
written, for Mr.. Calhoun himself, in late and
very candid letter addressed 10 the editors of the
National Inteligencer, admits that within the las,
few years his opinions upon matters of public
policy have undergone radical change. 1t
would now indeed be difficult for us to say what
Mr.. CaIhoun's position was at the time the Mer-
curys article was written, for his political course
has been as Facilitating as the colors Of the cha
meeon, and so very tortuous as put all at fault
except his own staunch pariisans, whom he seems
to have the happy knack of making think exactly
as he does himself.
