How tho human mind can conceive the RI.
diculous absurdities which sometimes possess
il, is a mystery TO US. In his late Albany
speech, Berrien Of Georgia said 9 England
levies upon our production, taking cotton out
of the list, an average tax OF $50 per cent, on
every thing we sell her; and yet we have
some among Us who say that We onght not TO
levy higher tax on any of her productions,
than 90 per cent. ad valoren duty" What
have we here! England Ievies tax Of $50
per cent, on every thing we sell her. Who
pays i Let her starving population who are
ground to the earth to get money enough 10
buy the taxed food. answer. England gfinds
her population TO the earth TO collect an exhor-
btant tariff, 10 support her aristocratic gov.
eminent: therefore it becomes matter policy,
expedency, aud every thing else, with Us 10
DO the same thing, bnd collect tariff Of $50
per cent. on every thing brought here by Eng
land. But. says the ,ariff,e, il is no, the peo-
pie of England who pay the tariff, but the
American who takes his goods there. Most
admirable Iogcian. The American takes his
goods there, pays a tariff Of $50 per CT. and
then sells them for their intrinsic worth. being
$50 per ct. less than nothing. Most cute and
sagacious yankee. how The Queens subjects

Of kindred character, Jonathan would be
