We publish to-day an excellent speech Of
HENRY w. MILLER, esq, Of Raleigh, North
Carolina, made at Oxford, in that State, on the
9Th Of November, 1850, in reply to Hon. A. w.
VENABLE.
Our columns have been SO crowded during
the session, we have been unable to spread this
repast before our readers until now.
1t is a manly and statesmanlike effort. and
does Mr.. MILLER great credit. We can for
give Mr. VENABLE much when we remember
that to him is the country indebted for this ad-
mirable argument in defence Of the Compromise
measures-while we pity him as we read how
effectually Mr.. MILLER has exposed and over
whelmed him. Whoever will read this speech
will be fully armed with arguments against any
one who attempts to create dissatisfaction with
the Compromise bills.

who pays tho Duty, tho Producer or the
COnsumer1


Consumer1
The advocates Of the existing revenue sys-
tenn insist upon the advantage of ad valorem
in preference to specific duties, because of the
constant reduction Of price going on abroad, in
consequence Of Improvements in the manner Of
production. If duties be specific, and prices
fall, the rate per cent. is increased; whereas ad
valorem duties, they assure us, accommodate
themselves to the circumstances of the time.
The opponents Of the present system say
that no reduction takes place except that pro-
duced by competition, and that the object Of
protection is to produce that competition among
ourselves which tends TO diminish the monopo-
" power Of Great Britain, and to reduce the
prices to the consumer. In proof of this they
can refer to the constant reduction of all com
modities that have been protected, and to the
steady maintenance of price in all those COM
modities of which Great Britain has been ena-
bled to preserve her monopoly. tk
A late number of the London Morning
Chronicle furnishes fact that illustrates the
working of the British monopoly system. In

II is sometimes said that the people Of

Some Of our Union patriots are fond Of
INDUCING in this unnatural disparagement

The New York Journal Of Commerce
ga Northern paper takes the following
sensible view Of the subject.
"Again, il is said by some that the South
with 3,000,G00 slaves, would be Incapable
Of contendipg with the. North, or any for
eign nation. So lar ftom this, ii is our de-
iberate opinion that the South would be-
more powerful as an independent natien.
with her slaves, than without them. In
carrying on a war a multitude Of men are
required as, teainsters. and for other MANI.
al labor. For many such purposes ne
gtoes wo0'd be more useful than white
men, in a Southern. climate ; and being
necessarily scaltertd,and in the presence Of
an armed tree, they could not make the
slightest resistance, II disposed. But il is
prOOaule q great many OF them would Side
with their masters from rGection and
choice. The South has double the white
population which lie whole country mad

hasalso a ghty army in her sickly eli
mate (sickly TO northern constitutions and

could. if necessary, raise a force of 600,

army that could be sent against them from
any quarter. In short, we 10 not believe
that there is a nation on earth that could
