the redaction of the duties upon indigo

tion on the part of ihe advocates of Pro-
<ectim».» JllijBotWfctti that load and re
iterated complaints wore made in the
Southern States,, amid particularly in
South Carolina, on account of the tiigh
duties uponcoerse woollens and blankeflp,
and upon enttoh bagging, and that the du
ties upon them were diminished, to grati-
! f and conciliate the South. After March,
833, upon coarse wollens, of a value not
exceeding 35 cents the square yard; and
upon blankets, of a value not olceeding
73 cents each, the duty will be almost
nominal, being 5 per cent ad valorm; and
upon cotton bagging, the duty will fae re
duced from 5 to 34 cents the square yard.
I have read in numerous publications in
the newspapers of this city, that the wool
lens and the blankets which are imported
by the planters for their ntferoes, cannot
be purchased at the prices limited by the
Act t soa*to be included withitk the re
duced duty of 5 per cent. My reply to
this atatement, 1 should presume, would
bejteifectlysatisfactory. lam informed
by the most competent and respectable
authority, that such wollens and blankets
as the planters are in the habit of import'
ing for their negroes, can now .be pur
chased abroad at the prices specified in
tha Act, mid that no doubt is entertained
that this will- be the cane, after that act,
shall be in force. Should this, however,
be an error, as the reduetton of the du
ties upon these articles was made, ana was
expressed to be made, by the advocates of
the protective system, exclusively, fur the*
accommodation of the Sooth; srtid as they
repeatedly and positively declared, that
l)ie article could be nrocured at the prices
mentioned, I cannot hesitate to believe, if
the fact b« otherwise, that upon satis
factorily establishing itfsirjh a law would
be passed the* next Session of Congress
as would rectify the mistake. However

would be doing them injustice to sus

And manifest a temper «nd disposition in
dicative of still further amelioration*—
When the foundations of the system
should be thus undermined, the cheering
prospect tkould be presented, that Con- ^
gross would gradudfy act upoo the prin
ciples which ought never to be lost sight
of~that domestic industry should only- be
incidentally protected, by duties upon fo-
elgo importations. Although the TarHl
f 1832 is, in my opinion imperfect, al
though It retains no small portion of its
ancient defects, although it still requires
5 rest and radical improvements, yet it
oes appear to me that it makes suen ap
proaches to what it ought to be, ns to ren
der It worthy of acceptance, at this time,
to every patriotic and reflecting statesman
who seeks to obtain the recognit ion of the
principles of Free Trade, by temperate
and practicable means.
To what extent the duties and (he re
venite will be reduced by the late Fariff
Act, I have already shown. Surely, a
diminution in the protecting duties st $1,-
8fi9,0.>6, and ih the aggregate of the reve
nue from the customs of $6,187,078, is a
relief,in the gross and in the detail. Sure
ly a diminution in taxes, which reduces
their net receipts from $17,288,745 to
$12,101,567, is a general benefit. These
ameliorations, combined with some con
cessions to the South, and the repeal of
the minimum* upon woollens, ought to be
hailed with some satisfaction, as the har
bingers of better time#,and as leading to a
more auspicious consummation; and more
especially, ought we to be inspired with
confidence,when it is recollected that these
reformations were effected, although they
were opposed, to the utmost by Ihe firmest
zealots in the cause of protection, and al
though the bill which contained them,was
voted against,by six of our own delegation,
in the llonse of Hepresniatives. If thus
much was achieved against obstacles so
formidable, the hope is proportionately
flattering, that those who are willing to

The minimums upon woollens, which
created peculiar disconteut, -for the
strongest and most obvious reasons, have
also bees lihslished for She gi<*iiucatioa
ihe duties upon in:nUer, wood, cochineal j of the South. In several of our newspa

and as ingredients in the process of manu-; of this abolition has been more than cu.un*

in those advantages, as the effect must,ne
cessarily* be to lower the price of manu
factures. With respect to the repeal of the
dotics upon teas and coflee* and the re
daction of the duty upon India silks 1
will submit the following communication
which 1 have received from oue of the
most enlightened and experienced mer

it plainly and isccntrcrcrtiblr appe.
that the South furnishes the principal
under the Act of 1852, of 30 per cent nd
valorem upon all woollen cloths costing
more than 35 cents the square yard. Lot
me briefly demonstrate the unsoundness
of this objection. By tlio existing tariff,
woollen cloths uot costing more than 33)
cents the square yard pay a duty of 14
cents the square yard, which is, aclual'y
5 4-4-5 per cent, ad valorem- Woollens
costing 33} cents the square yard, and
not more than 50 cents, are estimated at
50 cunts the square yard, and pay ^ duty
of 45 pfcr cent ad valorem, which is, actu
ally 18 per cepl. Woollens costing 5(1
cents, and not more than $1 the square
yard, are estimated at 81, and pay a duty
of 45 per cent, which is, actually 50-59
percent, ad valorem. Woollens costing
81, aud uot more than $2 50, the square
vac J, are estimated, at 82 50, pay a duty
pf 54-82 per cent ad valorem. ^Voolleus
costing $2 50 and more than 4 the square
yard, are estimated at $4. and pay a duty
of 45 per cent ad valorem, which is act u -
ally 61-59 per cent ad valorem. All wool
len cloths costing over 84 the square yard,
pay a duty of 50 per cent ad valorem,
which, with the additions' 10 per cent un
der the TarUT of 1848, ts 55 per cent, ad
valorem. The foregoing duties which 1
have stated as actually paid, are taken from
an official document of the Treasury De
partment. It is thus seen that the exist-
trig duties in every item, exceed those of
the Act of 1832, Excepting upon woollen
cloths costing between 331 cents, and 50

It is alleged in hll the newspapers in
this State which adopt the reasoning of
“the Address,’’ that no epirit of compro
mise or conciliation entered into the com
position of the lato Tariff Aid. and that
its sola object was to confer additional
bounties upon the Tariff States, and to in-
ertase the burthens of the planting States.

edly avowed in the House of Represen

in the lart sessioa of Congress, aod it
was owing to the 'atfoliiton nf the mini
mum! upon woollens, that the leading
advocates of the “American System” were
»y hostile to the of the law.
I hare thus,Fcllow-Citizen«, submitted
to you my reasons for the vote which I
gave upon the passage cl the Sato Tariff
act, and my views of that aiet, both in its
immediate effects, and as compared with
the existing Tariff. 1 feel eonftdent that
my vote wifl be approved of by all of you.
who prefer conciliation and compromise
to a rupture with the members ol'our con
federacy. When a system has long been
established, which extensively controls the
national capital and labor, however un
wisely h may hare been introduced, it can-
ribt, suddenly be abokshed, without spread
ing desolation and ruin among millions,
and communicating a perilous shock to
our tranquillity and security. However
toe may deprecate e protective tariff, in its
principle and in iu details—how.ever in
dignantly, we'may arraign the motives in
Which it originated and the consequences
resulting from it, the majority of the peo
ple are nevertheless, convinced, that it is
warranted by the Constitution, end re
commended by the aoundest policy.—
From tho prevalence of these sentiments
among the majority, end the legislative
encouragement ot them by high end stim
ulating protective duties. Immense capi-
tals have been invested dn numerous and
complicated braoebei of human industry,
•which, it must be obvious, ought not to be
interfered with* excepting with the utmost
cant ion. deliberation and forbearance.—
Thus impressed with the importance, tbe
intricacy, and thedplicacy of this subject,
when the consideration of the Tariff wee
brought up, daring the last ssssiow of con
gress, my anticipations of its Improvement
were limited to such alterations, as would
lighten some of iu bnrtheos. obliterate
some ofitHimt obnoxious enactment^
directed, it may well be anticipated, that
the delusions which have been created by
a selfish theory, will be dispelled—that
the revenue, at no distant period, will be
limited'to the proper expenses of the gov
ernment—that the tariff will be so regula
ted, as equally to diffuse iis burthens and
its blessings, among a free, a prosperous,
and a united people. When a career has
been opened, winch may carry us to the
goal at which we would arrive, shall we
falter in the course which we have coin'
nienced—shall we atop short in the pro
gress to which we«?re luvited— shall we,
supinely, slumber on our posts, when the
victory may be won by discretion and per
severance? Shall we instead of availing
ourselves of that “tide in the affairs of men,
which taken at the flood, lends on to pros
perous fortune,”abandon whatever is dear
as patriots, whatsoever renown we
have derived from otir ancestors, whatso
ever of glory we have acquired abroad, and
whatsoever of liberty and happiness we
have enjoyed nt home, and rashly barter
away these inestimable trcasures.to plunge
into the vortex of Nullification? Shall
we yield ourselves to he entangled in the
maxes of a political abstraction, which is
either so subtil or so paradoxical as to mock
the UQderstnndings, or so false and so per-
uiciouf as to lead us in error and danger?
Shall we, with our senses awakened, and
our facilities roused, and our vigor unim
paired, march, tamely, under the banners
of those, who while they profess to put
down usurpation, themselves usflrffn pow
er paramount to the Constitution and the
Lvv»-»wiio..whiie they prnriajf|j,thnt they
will emancipate ns from federal oppress
ion, by a peaceful, efficient, and legitimate
remedy, would reduce us, either to the al
ternative of submitting to the government
which wc resisted, or hf seceding from
the federal Union? The first alternative
would be degrading humiliation. Should
we adopt the other, the United States,
from tbe imperioas dictates ofselfdefcnce,
would prescribe to us such terms, ns would
prevent tlicm from being injured by our
separate commercial law* nnd regulations;
and to deliver ourselves froui Vheir inva
sion of our^Sovereigniy; should we resort
to an ally, the price of his aid, would be
the sacrifice of our independence.
I will dwell no longer upon such gloomy
scenes. That the Supremo Ruler and
Dtrcctor of human affairs, may in his mer
cy, so incline our hearts and guide onr
counsels, as that the fierce and stormy
passions which threaten ns with civil dis
sentiou; which distract our social inter
course, which embitter the harmony of

It would seem that several weeks ago,
a Frenchman applied to some .Americans
who reside on or among the Islands near
tbe mouth* of the bayous which enter the
gulf from the parish of Terebone. These
Americans generally live by fishing and
hunting, but by ChehT lawless character
and intemperate habits, it is believed they
wauld not be slow in engaging in any
scheme to procure sudden wealth. The
Frenchman represented that he had a
large amount of dollars hid si a place call
ed Last Island, near the nxau h of the ba*
yon Grand Caillou: he promised to pay
the fisherman handsomely, if they would
take a boat and kelp him to bring off the
money. The offer was accepted; the isl
and was visited, fifteen thousand dollars
dug up aod put iu me boat. The maxim
of “honor among thieves,** was unknown
to the fishermen, for the money was no
sooner in their possession, thao they be
gan threatening violence,sod finally com
pelled the Frenchman to relinqnish one
half. This was done; the latter lost no
time in proceeding op the bayous t »ud
down the Mifri«ippl to Netr-Orieeof-

passed at that meeting; and the article to which
I allude insinuates that he {Judge Clayton)
went to the meeting with a view to inflame tbe
minds of those who were in atteudanca on that
occasion, and says—' iu the excitement caused
by his novel way of proceeding, in addition to
that generally attendant upon as.scmblag
the kind, his resolutions were passed ” I pre
sume, Mr. Editor, all that arc acquaiuted with
Mr.Clayton, knows that he is incapable of cm
denvoring to impress upon the m'mds of any set
of meu, principles which he kuew that they
did not accord with. Further—tbe writer must
have a very slim opinion ofthe inUlligeuce and
patriotism ofthe persons who were present at
the Athens roecliug, to thiuk that they could
be worked upon in so short a time as it gener
ally taken up in meetings of that description,
by any individual, let Ins powers bo ever so
great, to adopt a set of resolutions, which, in
their mure cool and deliberate moments, they
wuuid 'eutirely dmcnt, v to. No,Mr. Editor,! am
convinced, that, that distinguished Individual,
(A. S. Clayton) attended tho meeting with a
true patriotic devotion to his country and to her
institutions—with his spirits bowed down st tb
degradation to which tbe Southern States hare
been reduced by a m^ority ia Congress, by
fixing upon them a permanent tax, for tbe pur<
pose of filling the coffers of a few \orthern Ma
nufacturers; to lay before those present (ha true

The Resolution parsed at tbe Athens meet
ing, recommending tbe appointment of "Dele
gates to n State Convention to assemble at Mil
ledge.’ille,” if:. h.i« been criticised upon
by the writer in the Georgian, in a sarcastic
manner. Tbe writer asks—“have wo been a-
leep and dreaming nil this time, that wc bad
Legislature to inaiutniu aud defend our rights—
a Governor sworn to "preserve, protect aod dc
lend tbe Stnte?” A ccordiog to rey opinion, the
catling of a Convention is oot derogntory to the
character of the Legislature; aud as to the Gov
ernor, ho can do nothing, as regards thr Tar
iff, until tome decisive measure has been dcsi
ded upon by tbe people of tho StaU.in Conven
tion, or in tome other solemn assombiage. The
Legislature can do nothing at regards the Tar
iff law, but to protest against it—this it has done
more than oaee, and what has been tho rasult?
we have had insult heaped upon injury-
Representatives treated with contempt, aod tbe
hails of Congress deserted whenever a protest
was handed in.
Tbe Lexington meeting has not escaped tbe
wrath ofthe writer in the Georgian, it has al
so shared a part of tbn angry feeliog of that lov
er of peace and harmony; ho has taken offance
at the proceedings of from 10 to 15 hundred of
tbe choicest tons of Georgia, who met on that
occasion “to taka into consideration, the bur
den* imposed on tbo South, by tbe Tariff?”
The writer appears to think that tbe principles
which prevailed at the two meetings I have no
ticed, savours of Nullification, and would place
Georgia “ia tbe dilemma either of buckling oo
bar armor to fight with ona sister, S oath-Caro-
lina, against her other twenty-two sisters, of
of eating her word*.” I would, bring to the
mind of the writer in the Georgian, toe it must
have slipped bis mfeory, that this State ba*
more than once nullified the Supreme llw of
the land, and that she baa never had to fight
for it yet; and now that tha remedy D proposed
by floulh-Carolinn against unconstitutional op
pression, she is to be traduced, and all bar
Statesmen who advocate Nnllifioatlon.ave boot
ed at as ditQoionist*, by those who ore .afraid
of a shadow. South-Carolina wishes to involvo
no State indifficulties. If Georgia, and tho
other Southern States, do not eooeoivb that tho
Torifl law is on ooeoostitntumal act; and, eon*
sequent!/, that it is not oppressive to their citi
zens—and therefore tfiej would not be.mrtfctrW

MR. EDITOR—Otir fall 2? r cs2svB iu J Rep.
resentative, Judge Wayne, has returned from
hi* labor*, aud.no none have publicly sail! “well
done thou good and faithful servant.” This is
manifestation of feeling that gives evidence
of public satisfaction, oud is grateful to tbe feel
ing* of,the public servant.' It would be grsti-
tying to oil parties, to bare an expression of
public scntiiucnffcrapnrticularly as Judge VVsyu*
pursued an independent course of duty, andv<v
ted for the new Tariff asai modification and re
duction of the old one: This, in my opinion,was
a correct course, and with a protestation sgaimt
the principle of both the old and new Uw—tbe
only course a wise and prudent Statesman could
take. If laws cherish an evil, they must be re
pealed ; if not entirely at one session, it ts a
triumph in the cause of reform to commence and
maintain that coraraeQccmeut&y gradual modi
fication and redactions each succeeding session.
In this wny, tbe same end may be effectedthat
was proposed by 'MrM'Buffie. Violent reactions
in society,by disturbing any interests that bars
grown np under la&s, constitutional cr uncon*
stitutional, are to be avoided. L«t us continue
to show oqr brethren of the North, from n spirit
of persevering legislation and constitutional ac
tion, that they ^avc mistaken their rights, aod
that they have construed Into a constitutional
claim, fur tbo maintenance of large raanufic*
turing interests, tbe Ptw M1810, which grew out
of our iSdulacuCe; aud that was only asked and
concede J, .far temporary encouragement. !o
this matter there is a delusion, and nothing cpq*
tributes more to this delusion, than the large
interests that have sprang oat of the original
law oftacuurageuicut. The Nortbbelievethey
are right—we know they are wrong: now,«
are ready to submit the issue to a constitutional
Convention ofthe States, and abide by their
decision. If tha North nre for fair legislation,
they cannot refuse a constitutional mods of fit
ting public sentiment, as tu their proceedings.
Il’they are for unfair legislation,'and determin
ed to mako their interests the only rule of con
stitutional right, aud deny u« a Convention-
then let a Southern Coovfntloa be called, rhosl
views on the question will express our rights
and dodaro our mode of defending them.
When the Tariff is brought up at tbeaext
session of Congress for modifica tion—if conces
sion prevails,4beg nre we satisfied; if oot,
then tetour Senators and Representatives pre
sent the decision of the Southern States in Con
vention, to both Houses of Congress, and si
them tbeir choice between tbe concessioncfour
just rights and accession from them If they
prefer secession,'then let our Delegation with
draw peaceably, dfcd take no farther part injbe
enaetaent nf auga w*. If we are permitted to
remain in pence, ire will do so; If not,
try and secure it in that way pointed out by the
great code of Nature herself.
Concert of action is important at this time. I
therefore recommend a meeting of tbe citUeu*
of Chatham County, to be called to give ex
pression of opinion npon the conduct of our
faithful public servants, and to give further ex*
prcision of our opinion on the Tariff law of'* 1
•ession, and deetare our gneeasiug hostility to
tho principle of protection avowed at tbe U»
sea<ion. and give tha country fo know, "t 8
we will only be .atisfied with an abandons^*
ofthe principle, ot n withdrawal from Hs ope
ration.” At that meeting the proposition of onr
up-country brethren will be stated and «*?»“*
ed, and the propriety and objo*t nt their propo
