FOR CONGRESS: or Fayette Covnty. THE TAX OX 3IlL.IA. "Mr. Weyand views the Tariff law of 1812 as very unequal in its operation, unjust and oppressive to the people gen " crally. The wearer of 10 cent muslin, under the act of 1842, pays the same " tax that tlie wearer of 40 cent muslin "docs. This he considers oppressive, because the poor man who wears mus- lin at 10 cents a yard should not pay as heavy a tax as the rich man who wears it at 40 cents." Genius of Liberty. The above are Mr. Weyand's views of the Tariff of 1842, in so far as relates to the "tax" upon muslin, said to be paid bv the "wearer" thereof. Now let us carmine into the facts and see whether Mr. Weyand is sustained by them. The duty which the Tariff of 1842 imposed upon muf-.lins, was upon the tokficx article alone, which, in conse quence of that duty, has been driven from the American market, and the muslins that are now in general use, whether they be worth 10 cents per yard or 40 cents, arc of domestic manufacture, urox AVIUCn THERE IS NO DUTY WHATEVER, 3S every bdy knows. So far from impor ting foreign muslins and calicoes and compelling the "poor man" to pay a hea vy "'tax" upon them, we are annually exporting those articles in large quanti ties after having supplied the home mar ket. Will any free trader deny this fact? No: even James K. Folk himself will not deny it, for it is matter of record that reexported last year cotton goods to the amount of four and a half millions of dol lars, some of them to the British colo nies. Yet in the face of these facts it is attempted to humbug the people by telling them that they arc compelled by the Tar iiTof 1842 to pay a tax upon their mus lins'. If any free trader chooses to give a preference to British muslins and pay a duty irpcn them, he may do so: he can no doubt procure the article from the British manufacturer by sending to England for it, or perhaps even from some British Agent here; but that is no reason why anybody else, especially "the poor man," should refuse to buy and wear the domes tic article, which is not inferior i'l quality and can at all times be had duty f.cc. ?"S;ncc the above was written we called on one of our merchants, who has just returned from the East with a heavy stock of goods; and upon inquiry we learned fiom him, that of 100 pieces cf calico purchased by him, 93 were manu factured in this country and 2 in Great Britain, and that his entire stock of mus lin was of American manufacture. Will the Genius be good enough to figure out the amount of "tax" that the Tariff act cf 1812 imposes upen the "poor men" the purchasers and wearers of those 98 pieces of calico and all those muslins? K aflier Mysterious. About the latter part of June a stray mare was seen running at large in the neighborhood of the clay pike, a mile or two from Centerville. Shortly after wards a saddle was found among some rocks in the woods in that vicinity, on the padding of which were some marks which corresponded with similar ones on the animal's back caused by the rubbing of the saddle. No owner appearing for the animal, she was at length taken up as a stray and advertised as such. Owing to some bruises which she had about the head, taken in connexion with the dis covery of the saddle; suspicion was exci ted that there might have been foul play, and search was made, but without dis covering linvthin? farther. The follow- ing discretion ofthe animal and saddle has been furnished us for publication: Mare roan, 14. hands high, 11 or 12 years old, a little stiff in the neck, and on the hoof of the left fore-foot the marks of a wound, which has grown up.

As we perceive efforts making in sun j dry quarters to mislead the public in re ! gard to the duty on wool," as imposed by ! the Tariff of 1812 and the late British ! Bill, we refer to this subject again for the ! nnrnnsfi of correcting the mis-statements r. r. : a , . which have been sent abroad. Under the Act of 1842, the duty on wool not exceeding 7 cents per pound in value, is 5 per cent; and on all wool rated above 7 cents, it is 30 per cent, and 3 cents additional on each and every pound. Now let us see how this duty compares with that imposed by the late Act, which is 30 per ct. For the sake of illustration c will take three qualities of wool, viz: at 25, 15, and 7 cents per pound. At 25 cts. a pound, 1 lbs. will cost $1 00; the duty on ;. which, at 30 per cent and 3 cts. a pound additional will be At 15 cts it requires G lbs. to makeSl 00; which at 30 per ct. and 3 cts a pound, is At 7 1 cts, 13 J lbs. are worth $1 00; the duty on which amounts to 42 cents. 50 70 Average duty per lb. 51 per ct. Thus it is seen that while under the Act of 181G the duty on wool of all de scriptions is 30 per ct., that which was imposed by the Act of 1842 ranges from 42 to 70 pr cent, except the coarse arti cle, as already mentioned, and which docs not come in competition with American wool, for we cannot learn that anv has been sold br our farmers at 7 cents or less, either before or since the Tariff of 1842 was in operation. The truth is, that this description of wool is generally grown in Sonlh America, aud in the Uni ted States is used solely for carpeting and negro clothing; and the duty of 30 per ct., which the late Act imposes, is tanta mount to a prohibition of the article, which is playing into the hands of the British manufacturer, who will henceforth purchase it in the ports of England, work it up and import the manufactured article into this country under a low dutv; thus taking away the labor from the American workman and at the same time depriving the Government of a considerable amount of revenue. But, while on this subject of wool, we may as well notice another fact, namely, the effects of the abandonment of the spe cific duty of 3 cts. per pound. Before the passage of the Act of 1816, wool sold here a' 25 cts; at present it is selling at lot's than 20 cts, and by December, when the new Act goes into operation, it will probably be lower still. We will esti mate it at 20 cts, however, ami just show the farmer what he is to gain by the new law. Cost of 100 lbs wool at 25 cts. $25 00 Amount of duty at 30 per ct. $7 50 Add 3 cts. per lb. specific: 3 00 10 50 Vyluc of 1 00 lbs. with the duty of 1842 added to the cost: $35 50 Cost of 1C0 lbs. at 20 cts $20 00 Duty on same, 30 per ct. per act of 1816: 6 00 Value of 100 lbs with the duty of 1846 added: Loss to the Farmer, $5 00 Do, to the Revenue, 4 50 26 00 Difference in favor of the - Tariff of 1842, 9 50 The Administration has not suggested DO any plan by which to make up the loss of $5 00 to the Farmer, but it proposes to supply the falling off of $4 50 in the re venue by increased importations. This is its argument: Increase the revenue by reducing the dutv. Consequently, to re- : al' frP W1 worth 20 cents paying a uutv ol 30 Pr' ct" lne samc or a &realer ! arnounv oi revenue man inai wnicn was derived from the samc article selling at 25 cents and paying an average duty of 51 per cent, the importation must be greatly increased almost doubled. It is evident, therefore -in whatever light we may view the matter whether in regard to protec tion or to revenue there is a decided dif ference in favor of the Act of; 1842 over that of 184C; unless we suppose that un der the high dlttV of the first mpnt;nnr.r1 m - bawv jm i Act no w ool worth over 7 cts. per pound was imported, in which cise, as a matter o . course, no revenue could have been de- nvea; cut it would only go to confirm. ' what ve have already demonstrated, that under that Act the wool of the American farmer was amply protected against for- eign competition. ALT-dCGASY SYSOD.

Most of our readers have already beei.' informed that several of the leading looofocos of this State, who are in the confidence of the Administration, arc, in the course of their electioneering tactics, making an effort to persuade the people that during the next session of Congress, the Tariff of '4G will be repealed, so far as relates to coal and iron. But this is a fraud, a mere electioneering trick. Some ofthe more manly of the democrat ic prints have already had the frankness to admit and denounce it as such, Wit ness the following, which we copy from the New York Globe of Sept, 2, a' lead ing Administration journal-of the Com mercial Emporium : v WE HAVE MADE UP OUR MIND TO STATE PLAINLY TO THOSE WHO WISH TO HOLT) OUT INDUCEMENTS TO A POR TION OF THE PEOPLE OF PENN SYLVANIA, THAT THE NEXT CONGRESS WILL INCREASE THE DUTY ON COAL AND IRON, THAT NO SUCH THING WILL OCCUR.
