the rye, noble fellow*, though in a close or despc
rr rale charge, the ruder Delhia would probably have
heat them; for they were not muscular or sinewy,
but their full and fleshy figures boro too much the
character of the indolent and monotonous life of
the Orientals. The Sultao Mahmoud, on horse
back, in the midst of these men, Was a striking
object; the high pay they receive, and the pecu
liar marks of favour their master often bestows
on them, render them peculiarly devuted to his
« ereon. They, as well as the red guards, have
ad.no part in the late revolt, hut assisted with
seal in thcdcstruction of tbeir refractory comrades.
It was a singular (thing to ace on this field so ma
ny of these men, the haughty janissaiics, who
were not long after doomed to porish. Of the
many thousand on the ground, very few probably
escaped. However cruel and despotic the, meas
ure that was meted them, their cup was certainly
full and overflowing. The history of these law
less troops would present as nark, fierce, and
bloody a picture as that of the Prmtoriun guards
of Home, whom they so closely resemble.—
Should they meet in the gardens of the Prophet,
whither they are untimely sent by hecatombs, the
many sultans they have dethroned and put to
death, the many t iziers whose heads have been
thrown at their feet, merely at their call, remind
ing them of the countless tumults and slaughter
they have made in the empire—the eternal groves
andrusbing rivers, and lovely bouts, will hardly
avoid becoming a scene of uproar instead of lux
ury and lovn. . .. -
Nut far from the while guards stood a body ol
men, little inferior to them in appearance, but less
splendidly accoutred—the red guard.—The entire
of their habiliments, turban, fee., were of this
colour. They were not, however, so favorite a
body of men, or so much trusted around the roy
al person as the former. Not a war-worn or vet-
van countenance was to he seen in either body.—
The music was sour.ded, and the fierce and wild
cries rung through the field, which are always rais
ed during the progress of the giuue t>f the djerid ;
the display of horsemanship wag beautiful. The

Treason.—If the manufacturers, for the pur
pose of accomplishing their schemes ot ronnnpo
ly, plunder, and oppression, hold a Convention, nr
Congre-s, at Harrisburg or elsewhere,—we ace no
difference by which name it is called—it is all well,
exactly as it should he, full ol patriotism, honor,
dignity, propriety, honesty, purity of motive, and
all that sort of thing. Witness the writings of
Matthew Carey, Niles, Hi mi-, and of the whole
crew of their understrappers.
Now see how circumstances alter cases. If the
SludenlH of tho Soutli Carolina College, meet
•nd determine In wear homespun,-and to abstain
from ’h" use of Northern manufactures—that is a
treasonable proceeding for which they ought to be
well switched.—See Binns’denunciations.
If the agricultural interest in the Southern
States, for the purpose of defending itself against
the rapacity of the Harrisburg Convention or Con
gress, and Its advocates and abettors, propose that
a Southern Convention or Congress be held;
that proposition iB immediately pounced upon
with the ferocity of a tiger, and held up to the
world as treason, and the nation is astounded with
tile cry of disunion, civil tear, rebellion, and all
that. See the Tarifl prints every where.
If eminent men from the Northern and Eastern
Slates declare that they would not give up the nd
vantage which they have over the Southern pen
pie, by means of the tm iff, even if the Southern
people would assume the payment of the whole
of the national debt—(See judge Coulter’s nd

•II the rest of the field. We felt them extremely
oppressive, hut the host of Orientals, who stood
or sat on the ground, seem' d to care very little
about the heat. The whole scene, was a mere
memory of war, a child? Il pageant; the mag
nificent guards, with all their splendor and nccuu
tremenls, looked not lik" men fit for the horrid
front of war, or who would stand a stern contest
with determined troops. Their smooth, hand

The form of their weapons, -ml even the weap

onet they will not hnvc recourse to. Their mas

ferocity, the flower of the Turkish troops; un

But they are gone—and long w ill it tiu ore the

York for the purpose of procuring an Act of Cmigicss
prohibiting sales at Auction.
Fellow Citizens and Felloic-Suffercrs :—I have
moment before the clotting of tho Press, to warn
you all against an insidious paper sent, as wo under

immediately exposed in one of the papers, proceeds to
to say that one or two indii iduals were extremely ac-
ti\o in procuring signatures among the merchants, and
bucceeded tn obtaining the names of several. Those
who signed, however, almost immediately withdrow
their i.nines: and the merchants and other citizens,

Tho burning of the Tariff was not expected to tako

An unusually large and very rcspcctublo number of
tho inhabitants of St. John's Parish, convened at the
Puriali House, Rockville, for the purpose of taking in
to consideration what measures may ho adopted by
this Stato to prevent the ruinous tendency of the exis

resolutions, which were seconded by Wm Skarkook,
sen Esq and adopted by the assembly unanimously
—not a dissenting voice being heard, viz:—
Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, the

conflict with the constitutional rights of our citizens.
Resolved, That until the repeal of those laws shall
take place. South Carolina is bound, by the immuta

manufactured goods, as tho Legislature may deem in-

The Charlefton Mercury, of the 4th lost.—a
very able Anti Tariff paper, after taking a brief
view, of the state of public opinion, in South Ca
rolina, on the subject of the Tariff, concludes thus,
“ The great ground we have taken—tho great prin
ciple on which wc stand it-', that the Tariff Act s un
constitutional, und must ho repealed—that the
rights of the Southern States have been destroyed
and must be restored - that tho Union is i.i danger,
uid must be saved. To those great point?, upon
which alone wo cun depend for safety and protection,
let the thoughts of our writers, and tho efforts of our
people, be unceasingly directed."
any tar ff'a levied,by which the general interest
of the Ui ion arts to be promot'd, it would be con
sidered h? acting within the pale of its authority
to extend its views beyond the single object ol
revenue. If h wever, an objection, general in i'9
application, were raised by any party interested,
the measure could not be carried into operation.
But, so soon as we begin to ascend, and this tariff
becomes a duty for protection, so soon wc begin
to doubt, and w hen both protection and encour
agement are the leading objects tve unhesitating
ly throw off all restraint, and proclaim openly our
revolt against such principle*.
And, more particularly d » we contend against
this system of construction, (if be not wilful pre
version) when, one part of our citizens are taxed
in the necessary articles of consumption, and
Ii »md down to almost prohibitory duties, for tile
encouragement of them, exclusively for the ben
efit of another portion, whose interest d flVrs
from ours, and whose profits upon manufactures
are increased only as our dependence upon
tlv ir provisions is rendered the more certain.
The constitution of our country points out as
its most prominent and leading features, and hold- 5
as its motto, “ the general interests of the union.’*
Upon this, the first principles of that confedera
tion which called ns together, were laid. By it, we
have been led to encounter the hardships and toil-*
of long campaigns against a common foe,—to « n
dure, from time to time, the many pecuniary sac
rifices to which we have hitherto submitted with
out a murmer—to bear with patience the shameful
and profligate abuses of our interests, with a cuefi-
dent hope that the evil would work, a correction
within itself; and, with it, we wish to see handed
down to the most distant posterity, that bright
chain of friendship and of union which has hith
erto hound in) in peace and prosperity. Uow f.o
this last act of devoted power, has regarded the
interests of the south, as constituting a component
part of the whole interests of the Union* is easi
ly discerned by the wan ton ness with which it has
hern assailed.
This one fact may be taken as a pnnc'plc by
which we. may judge correctly of the views
which influenced the supporters of the tariff, that
by its imposition we should bo tied down to the
c nsmnption of the articles of their manufacture,
or else, should pay a tax outrageous in its extent,
anti merciless in its »xactions, for the privilege of
purchasing from any other manufacturers : there
by rendering us perfectly subservient to their will,
and leaving us no other choice than tin absolute re
liance upon their mercies, or ruin at our homes.
We hold it to be a privilege and a right, co equal
with the spirit of mir country’s constitution, and
which we, as a people, are entitled to enjoy, both
by tin* laws of nature and of nations, that our com
merce be unrestricted—ai d that all commercial
i fercou^e should be free and unfettered—save
or.ly so far a-* *hcgeneral necessities of the coun
try decree otherwise—and that no prohibition is
lawful unless there is a need actual and apparent.
When our commerce with another country is im
moderately taxed, it is just, it is right, and it is call
»*d for liy the honor of our country that a tariff
goes, and shrouds the prospects and the hopes of
ur country in penu y, slavery, and want.
It is upon that class of citizens whose meat.?
are the n ost limited, and whose necessities are
most strongly felt, that this measure is intended to
operate ;—for the richer clat-s, who use wooll* ns of
'he highest price only, bear a tax, scarcely worth
counting at mo t, and not to be taken into consul
s deration when we draw a proportionable line be
tween the wealth and the means of the two. U »-
on course woollens. *uch as the poor man of tin
S »uth is compelled to wear, for ni« poverty and

hearts were more honest, and that it is a right the

doing so.
And, believing such principle«, we bold it to be
an inccmtrovertable fact, that this last tariff is no
unconstitutional exercise, and unqualified abuse ol

the honest predilections of our countrymen un

For there lias nol been a proportionable de
cease between the piicc of goods and the price
of cotton, the means which vve have lo pay with.
When we paid 50 rents per yard for cotton fa-
biics, vve received SO cents per lb. for our colleu;
—now vve pay 37 cents per yard und receive 10

Anvl thus will the people of our state, r* ly ing

English e-tahlishni' tits can procure the raw mate-
ioil, at a price very near as low as the Northern,
can There being ro much more demand for ca-
pi'.d in this country than in England, the profits
of capital are.necessarily lower there than here.
And as lo the element of wages, that is far lower
in England than il ever can be in this country, un
til our population shall have become as dense as
theiis. It is now ascitb il principle, in that coun
try, a* may bo seen by reference to -cine late pub-
l'catinns on the sul ji et, that a laborer, in their
iiianiifafliiiirg establishments, must look for no
thing better than a life spent, from childhood to
old age, in unceasing toil, for 16 hours every work
ing day—and for this he shall receive no more
wages than just enough to furnish the cheapest
possible clothing, and food of the coarsi3l liir.d,
haivly sufficient to keep soul and body together.
As fl.r laying up any thing for sickness or old age,
that is nut of the question. It Is not permitted to

tariff was levied for the good of the coun.iy:—
or was it intend* d to deft ut competition in trudi:
