To the Editor Of The Union:
have read with some attention the numerous let.

duced to the readers Of the Mercury by its edi-
tor me correspondents Of that paper have been re-
ceived, and treated very much as the editor would
have been treated by its confdng subscribers. Asone
OF these have considered the editor responsible 10

introduced TO me; and therefore gave more consider

HE "BEN FRANKLN."--This extraordinary cleo
tricai instrument is nightly drawing crowds to Ma
sonic Hall, to witness its astonishing powers Il is
not, as many suppose, made in the manner of the
common glass electrical machines, and worked by
steam; but it consists of large boiler, Of peculiar
construction, which, being isolated upon glass legs
Is SO contrlved as to generate electricity trsm the
steam. The huld IS conducted from the yard where
the boiler is situated into the exhibition-room bv
large brass rod, and is easily applied to number of
interesting and beautiful experiments indeed some
of them really sublime. The actual producing
power of the electricity is mooed question among
the learned; and hence the subject is Of more intense
interest But by whatever means the results may
be obtained, they must be admitted to be greater
than were ever before produced by the power of
man. The "Ben Franklin" is the largest insru-
ment of the kind in the world, and is four times
the size and power of the great London machine
which in one year drew to its exhibitions upwards
of three hundred thousand persons II will remain
but short time longer in this city; and we would
advise all who have an appreciation of the grand
and magnificent to pay it visit. The price Of adj
mission has been reduced to IS cents.-Phiia. Spirit

Of the revenue from imports is derived from duties
on the class of protected principally sugar
and woollen manufactures. Now, oil these interests
are united together in a plundering confederacy
upon the principle that each may rob the other
that all may rob the community at large. As have
before stated, each of them would receive at least
five times (some Of them twenty times) as much
as they pay, even under strict revenue system. Is
il not apparent therefore, that to permit those in
ferests to control Congress in the matter of taxa
ton, would be to put the power of taxation--the
most important of all political power--in the hands
OF those who have deep pecuniary interest in in
creasing the taxes, If the manufacturing nations
of Europe would agree to supply the federal revenue
by perpetual tribute would these monopolists con-
sent 70 total repeal of the duties on imports and
free the country from taxationi They certainly
would not. They solemnly declare that these d,i-
tics (Which surely taxes to the country are es-
sental to their prosperity; that to reduce them from
fifty to twenty per cent would be injurious to them;
but to repeal them altogether, would be absolutely
ruinous. Here, then, is confession of what is APP
parent without t--that those who receipe the taxes
impudently claim the prerogative Of prescribing TO
the government what burdens shall be imposed on
those who pay them! II we submit 10 these things,
can claim to live under responsible, represent
alive republici II ought to be forgotten that
system of taxation, by which threefourths at least
OF the public revenue is derived from duties upon
foreign manufactures, the like Of which are extern
svcly produced in the United States, is the most
burdensome and unequal Of all the known systems
that now exist in civilized nations, reduce and mod
ify il as we may The whole Of the duty imposed
on this class Of articles is discrimination against
the imported, and in favor of homemade manufac-
lures, TO the full extent Of that duty.
Now, when we recolIect that all foreign imports
are as truly the productions Of domestic industry
as their homemade rivals; and that the industry
which acquires the foreign article is much entitled
TO be exempted from, taxation as that which makes
the domestic article, it will be seen that the very
lowest rate Of revenue dutes upon sugar and iron,

Marylander" gravely informs us that this long du-
ration Of power is owing to the firm support it has
received from the state II was, indeed a very
strange Kind OF support the popes received from a
Nero, Domitian, and Dioclesian, during three
centuries, that their heads fell so often at the block
and that their blood bathed the thronethe spiritual
throne-upon which they sat objects of persecu-
ton, and sign which shall be conradioted. In
the course of ages, they have almost constantly
borne thevexation and.persecution of the state; and
IT human had been the origin of papa power,
speedy and inevitable would have been its ruin.
But IT rode riumphantly through the prosecutions
OF the Frederics in the middle ages; it wthstood
the assaults of the ESQ called) Reformation; it
resisted the Infatuated malice of the French dema-
gogues and infdels; and the great adventurer of
modern times broke against the chair of Peter his
crown and sceptre. He could, indeed, confne in
dungeons the successor of the Fisherman; but there

giant went to expire on barren island Tell me,
now, that the power of the popes is maintained by
the state, and viii as readily believe that the sun
and the stars are supported by the clouds.
The popes, whom the passage quoted above
represents as the authors and abettors Of an in
lolerable system of slavery, were, the con-
lrary-and this at the time OF their great civil in

widow, and the orphan; the bulwarks Of humanity
The torch Of science, and the most interchangeable and
magnanimous antagonists Of those true and unuues-
