Add to the Store tax. tbe asteont 1 Department, the amount paid by Wilmington was wwniQ wm-iaunn mtu sum. it is true, that the amount of duties paid last year was something lass than bat from a Table of Statistics which I -hold ia my hand, prepared by the lata Arch'd D.

Morphy (whose name is a voucher for its accuracy) it will appear that in 1816, North Carolina paid, in duties to the United States, more than $287,000, and for several yeara preceding, largely upwards of $300,000. I have not been able to turn to any document showing the mount of du ties paid by It. Carolina from lblb, op to the last year. It is a well Down fact, the Port ot Wilming ton paya four-fifth of the whole duties of the State. It is aa well known, that duties hare greatly diminished since 1832.

Salt, which before that period had, at different period spa id from 10 to 25 cenxs per pusi.el, now pays only 5 cents; the duty on voiiae is enureiy taken oB; tbe dutyon Mola ses ana ougar aiminiahed one ball. These were the articles on Vhich the great amount of duty was paid prior to 1832, and this accounts for the di. minution in the. amount of duty now paid. Still the contributi6n is a considerable one and well deserving consideration.

It has been denied by the gentleman from New Hanover, that the Town of Wilmington contributes $1,700 of the $2,700 taxes paid bythe County of New Hanover, as-alleged by me ona former occasion 1 will only refer to the Comptroller's Statement of the Public taxes of New Hanover County, frr the year 1832, jaid into the Treasury of the State. Take the same statement for anv other year, and ihe proportion will be about the ame.

P. MALLETT. DEBATE IJf CQyVETION. FEOM THE RALEIGH aEOISTEX. DEBATE ON BOROUGH MEMBERS.

(coactnr. Mr. KELLY rose to say, that from the d1cns-sion which had vsken place on the subject of Borough representation, he had been convinced that the commercial interest of (he State ought to be represented in the Legislature, as well as the agricultural and other interests, and should therefore vote in favor of admitting the towns mentioned in the Report now under consideration, to the nriv ilege of sending a member. Mr. GILES said, he should vote in favor of giving to each of the towm mentioned in the Report fciujTr me boavenuon, a member.

The gentleman from New Hanover had stated, that the elections heretofore held in Wilmington had been attended with bribery, corruption and great disorder. But, said Mr. G. those evils would not be removed by depriving the town of its member, since sn election would still be held in the town for the County Members, and the voters would be the same. He thought it right that the Commercial interests of the country ought to be represented by gentlemen well acquainted with those interests, who would be able to support and explain them to the General Assembly.

Mr. MEARES said, as he had long resided in one of these towns, and had sometimes had the honor of representing her in the State Legislature, he felt it his imperious duty to lay before the Convention such information on the subject before them, as was in his power- He was the more strongly impelled to do, because he considered the decision of the question essentially important to the whole State. The grounds, upon which a representation is claimed for these towns, are, that they have dis-tinct commercial interests to guard and protect; such as were important not only to them, but to the whole State, but such as none but those conversant with commercial matters could rightly understand or property guard. These separate interests consisted in the proper regulation of pilot-age, inspection, quarantine, wrecks, banks, and bills of exchange. Of the importance of these several subjects, much had already been said, which it was unnecessary again to repeat.

The laws reg ulating the disposition of wrecked property, was of very great commercial importance. It was the misfortune of all countries, to hsve scattered along their coasta, persona always ready to avail themselves of the misfortunes of others; snd whenever a vessel was stranded, to appropriate to themselves whatever they could by stealth, or by frud and combination. To protect such property, required regulations such as none but those conversant with the shipping interests, as well as the habits of these marauders, could provide. But Borough Representation is objected to, because it will infringe the rule of representation by federal numbers and taxation, and will be assigning a Representative to certain individuals, without regard to wealth or numbers. It is spoken of, as giving an invidious privilege and distinction to certain Towns.

This is not true in principle. Li- terally. Borough Representation does mean Town Representation in principle, its meaning and effect is to give a Representation to certain localities, without regard to wealth or population. Is this a new principle' By no means. By our existing Constitution, our whole representation is based upon the Borough principle assigning to each county (or locality) a fixed number of members, without regard to population or taxation.

Cumberland, as a County, elects two members Fayetteville, as a Borough, elects one. We are not now called upon to abolish, but to modify this principle. In fact, we are expressly forbidden to abolish it. To each county of the State, however-small, is reserved the right of sending one member to the House of Commons. If Brunswick, Colombo, and the other counties, (9 in number) which fallbelow the ratio of representation, are entitled, on the principle of mere locality, to a Representative, on what principle can you exclude the commercial Town? Why is one member reserved to each county, however small? because they have county inter ests to protect.

The people of the county are tax. ed for County purposes, and it is right they should elect a member to guard their County interests and regulate the system i of County taxation, and the nomination ot magistrates; and Iikewiae, because by a different rule, you make harsh innovations on the habits of the people. The same reasons apply with equal force to Borough Representation. The leading principle of our Revolution was thit re ireacQtation and taxation should be inseparable; at east so far, that without representation, there should be no taxation. The citizens of commercial towns are taxed in a tbree-fold view; as citizens of the State, of the County, and Town.

The last tax ia to be imposed by laws in which, as a town, they have no voice. Is not this an infringement of the principle that there should be no taxation without representation? This system of Po-lice andtaxalion is iodispensible, not only to the individual interests of the town, but to the general good of the whole State. Wflmington pays a town tax (exclusive of State and County taxes) e- qual to about $4,000 year, a very large portion of which is expended in tho repaira of docks and other appendages of Commerce, to protect, Bot the town merefy, but the whole country from the jntrodoction of contagion. But, the gentleman from New Hanover (Mr. Holmes) baa told ua, that notwithstanding all tbea important interests, the town of WilmiBgtpn does not wish tor a town Member.

And to- this conclusion be i brought, bv the number of votes given for him at the town election ground; although he had publicly avowed his opposition, to Representation! The gentleman ought to remember, said he, that at an election in town, where the country people caa vote, the result is no evidence of the seotinrent of the The country vote often give a differ, ent complexion from those of the town. The gen lletnan ought also to remember this question was not arilated to anv extent, and that the election turned upon Jack tonlsm and Ant-Jcksonisnl--Convention and Anti-Conventton. On these ton. ios, tbw county wss with him, and for these real sons, he received the country votes.

fflHE utility of Temperance Conventions hss been too well. and too frequently tested to ad mit of a doubt. The great and Iea.bng nc.ple. of Temperance are, it is true, and the measure now about to be recommended, can only reiterate and confirnvprevious decisions; but still this alone would be of sufficient importauee to jus tify a more extended effort, than any heretofore made at the South. Our friends at the are, in some respects, differently situated than we are South of the Potomac, and this very difference calls upon Us to unite our counsels and delibera tions in devising some plan of operations suited to our circumstances and wants.

Anv plan of action which will suit, any Southern 8tste, win suit all, ith very slight modification! while, for the most part, plans which are successful at the North, utterly fail when so applied to the South. But not to enter into a detail of whatVnust be obvious to all, the Executive Committee of the Virginia Temper ance Society, atter mature deliberation, and after consulting with friends from the States South of have come to the conclusion, that the cause of Temperance at the South, will be greatly pro moted by a general Southern 1 emperance Convention, during the ensuing autumn. They do, therefore, most respectfully appoint and request such a Convention, to meet at Fayetteville. If. C.

on Wednesday, the fourth dqy tf No vember next, at eleven clock tn the morning- They also jeqticat all Temperance Societies in Virginia, North Carolina, S. Carolina, and Georgia, to send at least one delegate. to said Convention. And they also suggest that the State Society in each of the above named States be represented by at least ten delegates each. Maryland, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida, are invited to scud representatives.

State. Can say one pretend that this important interest does not demand a Representation peculiarly conversant with it and particularly' instructed to guard and protect it? It is objected that seme of these Borough Lave declined in consequence, and are therefore not deserving a representative. If tbe fact be true, it doea not militate against the argument. The foar Borough members would necessarily represent tho peculiar commercial interests of the whole Stat. That the interest of the Planter and Merchant are considered adversary in rosny regards, I would sdduce no stronger evidence than the opposition made by the citizens of Wilmington to their Representative, in consequence of the passage of tbo law in 1826, as stated by the gentleman from New-Hanover.

Here was a law for tk advantage of the community at larga, yet, because ii oore peculiarly nard upon the retailer, was opposed by that flaes of trades. I ha the Convention longer than I intended, but on thi question, I could not say lees. Judge SEA VVELL remarked, he AiA not infAnjf to have said any thing on Ihb subject; nor should! he but for something which had fallen frnwn tho gentleman from Sampson. The subject ef amend. ing me onsiuution bad been submitted to this Contention by the people themselrea.

He stated that Borough Representation was repugnant to the, principle laid down ia the Conven. lion Act for fixing Representation in the Iloase of Commons. Let us, said Judge G. examine tho subject, and see this assertion be well founded. are called here, not to make a Con.

To wh.t extent are we to got la Ihe first place, the number of members in the Senate, shall not be lesa tban 34, nor more than 50, to-be elected by district, die The House of Commons shall consist of not less than 90, nor more than 130, ex. cloMve of Borough members, which the Convention shall have the discretion to exclude in vrholo or in part; snd the residue, that is, thenembers other tban those from tbe towns, to elected by counties or districts, or both, according to their federal population, What, then, has the Legislature in this set, in effect, ssid to the Eastern and Western members? "You have been at variance on the subject of Representation. Western members hsve complained that their large counties have had no greater Representation thari-small counties to ihe East. We have provided a remedy for this complaint.

The general principle of representation in the) House of Commons, ss to the counties, shall, In future, be according to federal numbers. But in this Act an express exception is made even as ta the county representation. You are not ta carry this principle so fsr as to exclude the small coun ties from representation none of these must be disfranchised. However small a county may be, and however few its inhabitants, it shall be entitled to one member." And he would say, however anxious he was to see all parties reconciled, lie could not have agreed to any proposition to amend the Constitution which bad not recognised this modification. Why so It may be asked.

Because when a system has been established; and a certain portion of the citizens have been used to act together, an esprit du corps Is formed amongst (hem, which cannot be sundered but with violence. The Convention 'Act lavs down nil rub An th subject of Borough Representation. Whst is tbe situation of your towns? yTh. uM in. in tbe State which have been jn tbe habit of send- e.c representative to the House of Commons.

These articles, valued at tbe home market and ai the ordinary prices were worth more than 1,000,000 dollars.

It is an unquestionable fact, that Wilmington, from its location, furnishes a better opportuitny of selecting West India cargoes than any port in the United States. There is nd other port in the U-nion furnishing so great a variety of produce, sold at the home market by the grower himself. There is no article of exportation raised in the Southern States, except sugar and Sea Island cottons, which Us not carried to Wilmington and sokl by tbe ori-. ginal maker. There is no port in the world to compare with it, in the articles of Pitch Pine Timber and Naval Stores; of these articles, it ships more than all the other States.

And as regards hs facility of reaching the ocean, and the draft of water and security as a hatbor, Wilming ton has but few equals in the Southern State s. Its security from the effects or gales of wind, as a port, is not surpassed by any other. It has tbe sdvantage of having fresh water, which exempts vessels from tbe destructive effects of the salt-water worm. It ui only thirty miles from the Ocean, and a few hours will' carry you beyond the Bar. From the wharves you can carry, on ordinary tides, twelve feet draft on Spring tides thir-, teen feet.

This draft of water, with vessels of proper construction, affords sufficient draft for any ordinary European trade, and ample for West India. But on Spring tides, fifteen feet draft of water can be brought across the Bar and fourteen feet at all times and approach within nine miles of the town. From these facilities vessels ot 400 tons burthen can be laden, at a trifling expense of lighterage, and those of. 350 tons, without any, and proceed to sea. From the Chesapeake Bay to tbe Southern Boundary of the United States, how many ports have equal advantages' Beaufort, in our own State has a greater draft of water, but in any other respect is deficient in ad vantages Charleston baa superior! advantages.

Peitsacola has greater dptb water, ami the Mississippi bout oneibof more across the Ban But Mobile: osr Ttsrrig sa rapidly: i cemraerTial importance, ia depth of both on its bar and In' ks bar-bor is inferior to Wilmington.
