Letter from the Hon. RobeH Foombs ii
tht Commercial Convention.
WAsHISoroN. Ga Dec. 6.

Z Gentleme,t: I duly received your
polite invitation to attend the South
ern Convention which will meet at
Savannah on the 9Th instant, and it
was my earnest wish and purpose to be
present, but / now find that l shall be
disappointed. The thought which
gave birth to these Conventions, was
to devise some plan BY which the
South could secure her just share OF
orr foreign commerce, whichis main,
ly supported by her industry. This
end may be accomplished-it is ne
cessary to the wealth, the prosperity,
the strength, and, therefore, the safe
ty Of the 1slaYcholding States. It can
be- easily, speedy, and constitution
ally, accomplished. II cannot be
done BY voluntary commercial ASSOC
Citations ; it will not be done through
the general government, but it can be
done, and must be done, by la,cs. -
Federal legislation has been one of
the most important agencies which
has driven iereign commerce away
from our ports State legislation can
bring it back, and nothing else can,
as long as this Union exists. The
power of the State Government to tax
without limit, all items Of material
wealth within her Jurisdiction, is
clear, nnquestionablc The Federal
Courts have expressly and repeatedly
affirmed it.. A State cannot, under
the Federal Constitution, lay duties
on imports, Int she can tax allimpor-
ted commodities offered for sale with
in her limits. Not only every State
in the Union but even every munich.
pal corporation, authorized to do so,
BY State legislation, has exercised
this power from the foundation otthis
Government to this day. 1t is at this
moment exercised by some Of the
States, greatly to our adyantage.-
Take, for example, a bale of WOODEN
cloth, imported from England into
New York, there purchased by q
Georgia merchant, and Sold here 70
one Of onr citizens. This bale Of
goods pays the Federal Treasury thir.
ii per cent. dd ydlorem, then It pays
q State tax to the treasury of New
York; then it pays this year, one and
three Fights per cent. TO the municipal
treasury Of the city of New York ;

wants OF the State, without imposing
upon the people. any capitation Or
other direct tax whatever.
III 5 per cent. tax was imposed up.
on all snch merchandise, it is not
probable that the importers OF foreign
merchandise intended for our con-
sumption would land them at any

Of fifty thousand dollars in every mil

other wiser people would import sim
liar commodities directly, and under
sell them, and thus drive mem out Or
our markets. But if we should be
mistaken in the proper amount Of
taxation to effect this object, we should
raise the tax until it did accomplish
it. The power is nnlimited-the OBJ
jcctl is invaluable. The second OBJ
ject is scarcely less important THAN
the first. The most striking differ

State and Federal Goycrnuscnt Is to

The treasury Of the Federal Govern
inent is usually ovcffowing, and no.
body complains Of it. Congress ent.l
ploys three fodrths Of its redundant
revenue. Salaries are high, and Of
late arc almost annually increased,
and an utter disregard Of economy
marks our entire Federal legislation.
On the other hand, tile State treasu-
RIGS are generally empty, the States
burthened with oppressive debts,
which some of them have even repu-
dated rather than impose the neces.
sary burthens by. direct taxation, to
pay them. State officers are poorly,
even lncanly paid, and consequently

The State expenditure is generally
equal and just, and for the benefit Of
all the tax payers; the expenditure Of
the General Government, on the con.
trary, is generally unequal, unjust
and for the benefit of q few only of

gia pay less than four hundred thou

and that is paid reluctantly and
grudgingly. Assuming that their
