Impressment Denounced,

We make the following extract from speech re-
Gently delivered in Georgia, by Hon. Robt Toombs
"The impressment of private property by irres-
ponsible agents. who frequently levid the contri
bations for the support Of our armies as directed
by hvoritism and Partially, was denounced as mon
strous and the opinion expressed that, when our
Congress determined to support our armies by i'm
pressments; gathering supplies wherever they found
them most convenient, and forcing them from those
from whom their agents might choose to take them
in violation of the fundamental principles Of our
constitution, which require all burdens to be uni
form and Just, and paying for them such prices as
they choose, they made fatal blunder, which can.
not be. persisted in without endapgering our cause,
and probably working ruin to our government
When, therefore, the government, said the
speaker, seeks to levy its supplies through commits
saries, or other agents. by impressme't, instead Of
entering the market as others do, and purchasing
Them it deprives the people Of the right which they
claim of bearing their just proportion of the bur.
dens as we'll as Of the benefits of the government
The wisdom of twenty centuries is against this
policy, and here affirm that it will not support the
army, and will ruin the republic. Already it has
deprived many of their honest earnings, and left
their families in pen0ry, want and dependence. and
l call on you to right them. (Applause) Such
system has never been pursued with profit to the
country from the time of Alexanderthe Great down
to the present time Gen. Scott did not practice it.
even when in the enemy's country. From the
whole of his march from Vera Cruz to the City Of
Mexico he obtained his supplies by purchases, and
obtained them plentifully, while our armies, which
depend for their support on impressments, have
often been upon half ratons all over the country,
even where provisions are abundant. :
Whv cannot the government go into the market
as others do and purchase their supplies 1t is said
that the people will not sell for the currency at
reasonable rates. WE'LL ifthey will not sell 70: one

Sc per day, while their expenses the present ses-
sion will not be less than So to $l2 per day
Twelve dollars now is not more than one dollar was
in 1860. The people are just and reasonable, and
they do not expect their representatives, to lose
money by attending to their interests. fthey should
increase their pay to cover their expenses no
one will complain. And we may add that fhe salary
of the Governor in the present currency, is totally
inadequate. We do not know, but We have no hes
itation in expressing the opinion founded on the
prices of the means of living in Raleigh that the
Governors salary does not support him by one to
two thousand dollars per year. His salary ought
to be increased.

on this score There are hundreds of disabled SOL

duty it is to attend to such business to be as ber

the good Of the service as well as of the soldier

then they lance out sentence, pierce the matter
to the quick and are done. You never know
where you stand with them. Your conversation
falls into their minds, as rivers fall into deep
