who pay taxes, bear arms, or work upon the nigh
ways, who have resided twelve months in the

Clerks of Courts, Sheriffs, Cons,abes, Comns

HIGHLAND COUNTY.

We have JUS; returned frsm short visit 10
county of Highland, whittier we had gone to at
tend the discussion by the various candidates of
the district for seats in the Convention, notice
having been previously given that such discus
sion would take place at the Highland June
Court. A large number from 500 to 4a0) of the
people We're present, and as it was thought most
prudent that the nomination of candidate for
Highland should be the first business attended
to, the meeting was organized for that purpose
This course was preferred because the speaking
would consume SO mach time that when it was
concluded it would be at so late an hear the
people would be anxious to return to their homes,
and the consequence would be no nomination
could be made. The meeting was accordingly
organized, when a certain john Gee uoolson mo-
we'd that it be declared inexpedient for the coun-
ty of Highland, at THAT time, to make a nominal
tion assigning his reasons theretor=--most per-
sons, however, Thought the gentleman wished to
seeuie the nomination for himself, and that that
was the reason why he wished to prevent the
action Of the meeting. The distinguished gen.
tleman was in favor of district Convention,
before which body his chances for the nomina-
ton would be greater, and that of other gentle
men of the county of Highland would be less
The motion of mr.. aroodson, called up Esquire
RucKMAN, shrewd, sensible old gentleman
who saw through the object of the aspir:nt, and
we opine av. arooason will not soon forget the
remarks made by Esquire RueKMAs. The vote
was then taken on the motion of mr. wooGson
and was-lost! mr.. woodson finding that
suggestion, and accordingly he suggested that
the Wings retire from the meeting which sug-
gest,on no one Needed and no one retired, not e.
ven the suggester. The business of the meeting
was then taken up, but as they are fur
nished for publication, we pass it by, adding
only that ADAM STEPHENSON, Jr, Esq, recey-
ed the nomination.
The neeting having adjourned, ito convene
again in the EVENING" the speaking was COM
mcnced, each speaker, by previous agreement,
being limited to half an hour. aae speakers
were Messrs. STUART, FuLrz, M1cHIE, LErcHrR,
S. Med. Moore, Capt. DAVID E. MooRE, SnEf-
FEY and DOYLE, each of whom in the short
space of time allotted them, declared their SEN
iments on the various subjects of Reform. Want
of time and room compel us to make this notice
as brief as possible and we must defer any fur
Their remark.
The speaking over, the committee and peo-
pie again assembled, to receive the report of
the committee, the result of which is stated a.

FRAUDS UPON TIE REvENuE-Th Sec
relary Of the Treasury has replied to the
inquiry of the S'nate respect, NJ what
measures have been taken, anJ with what
result, To prevent frauds ulon the revenue
since thepossagc of the act of l7iG. The
Secretary rccapltulates the Instructions is-
sued from the Department, to collectors,
appraisers aud other officers Of the Gus oms,
made necessary by Information Of the frauds
upon the revenue made, COS para,ively ca
sy by the change IN the taritf law from spe-
cihc duties to duties levied upon The for
! eign value Of merchandlz. All these or
; ders, stringent though some of them were,
have failed to prevent frauds by importers,
ny double invoices and ia se valuations, to
the manifest INJURY of the iair and homes
ira Ter. And the Secretary adds -
| In conclusion, ] take the liberty to sug-
gcs, that adequate remedies loI these frauds
can only be provided by acts of Congress /;
that mainly they attach 80 tho system Of
lryyIng al valor"m duties upon the market
value of merchandi q IN foreign countries
whlrh II is almost impossible for the Off
GERS ol The customs 10 ascertain under lhe
INST favorable circumstances /; and that,
piactica ly, very few of them pretend to ac
curate knowledge concerning them that
the longer this system is conlinurd, the
weaker will become the restraints, and tie
4 onger the inducements TO dcfraul the
revenue.
Our dependence for revenue is now upon
the receipts from duties levied upon the
importation Of foreign merchandise. The
rates of duty are fixed by law hut The
values upon which they are imposed are
lett entirely to interested oreigners.
would, therefore, respectfully submit
that many of the inequalities of our present
system would, in my opinion, be -emedied
by the subst tuition of home for foreign val
u.lion Of dutlable merchandise. This
change would place all nportcrs upon an
equal footing in respect to valua,ians for
duty il would both guard the revenue
agains, most Of the fraudulent practices
complained Of, and tend to its increase.
Although the period Of the adjournm ent
of Congress has been fixed, and is near at
hand, | venture to recommend that the
change be made at the present session.
