 \ gentleman of this town some time since addressed a letter to Mr. CALHOUN, stating that his enemies in this section of country were declaring that he favored the doctrine that Congress has tine right to lay discrimi- nailng duties-that is, to tax one article ol foreign manufacture high, and, another low, as the interest or caprice of majority of Congress may dictate. He also desired lIr. C. to say to him whether or not he enter tained such views; and the following is the frank, manly answer:

 FoRr fIILr., Sept 2l, l8l3.

 Dear sir: ' You are right in reference to my opinions on the Tariff. deny the right of imposing any duties but for revenue. or to make any discrimination but on revenue principles. also deny the right of raising revenue, but for the Constitutional and cso- nomlcal objects of the government.

 l have recently expressedthesame opinions in answer to a letter from Louisiana, that l see has been published. You will find them fully and strongly expressed in my speeches, of which a volume has been recently pub lished by the Ilarpers, in New York.

 With great respect, am, Sc. Sc.
