The north will be bmiefitted by the redaction of the duties upon indigo and upon raw wool not costing mote thao 8 cents the pound, and by the repeal of ivfHowfMwtiHL 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 (jfgirAii* t|i» .woirj^iinnsaia ni»y I»m < find unquestionably arc, to preserve what they consider to be their interests, it would be doing them injustice to sus pect them of so gross a dereliction of principle, ns a deliberate design to de fraud, or of the commission of so ingre- 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 sacrifice tftc pride of opinion, and the lust Q3*VVe are requested to state that Messrs.

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 some other materials used in dyeing I pers, it has been insisted, that the benefit and as ingredients in the process of manu-; of this abolition has been more than cu.un* facturing; but the community participates terhalanccd, by the imposiupn of x duty. 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 chant/ to this city: 'Nothing is more cer tain than that the*Southern States will be jnoro than proportionately, bene fitted by any increased consumption of Teas and Cast India silks.' that will take place in consequence of tbe reduction of the du ties upon them .because the course of trade is now so changed, that compared with former times, little or no specie is export ed. * The India merchant new either fur nishes himself with bills drawn by the U- ntted States* Bauk on Loudon* at 12 months date (which pay in India at a pre mium) or he purchases merchants bills, at ordinary sights on London, and lodges his fnnds there, ordering hfs ship to touch at (Gibraltar* where he can draw for his London fundj.nt 10 a 15 per cent advance, and he has dollars at par. or at most front 1 to 2 percent premium, these dollars he. ing procured, entirely* from Hpaio in pay ment of oar rice, cptton, tobacco.

Thus, whether the India cargobb^proenred by Bank bills or speq»e, they sre all raised by bills on l£n- glaod^ which bills are almost’altogether found by Sonthern rice and cotton. Thus 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 cents the square yard, and between 50 cts. and 81, the square yard, when they arc less, in a »6fV iai-IJ de*rNe: buioinmi «nrb f \ V part of the rand.

Tho .rant of tha semblance of a foundation for the aaaertioo in the AddrCta that the pot- itive burthens of the Soil them States are nor diminished, end their reletiro burthens rery greatly increased,' is plnitt'.y jemo <- Itrated by the facto which I hare Stucii.

M^nptnion of that act I hare already ex pressed; and It is not my intention now to ascribe to it merits which I hare hitherto as cost more than 81, the square .yard.

Tliie dif ference in the rate Qf the duties is, by no means, tlie priocipal .benefit derived from the late Act; for by the substitution of ad valorem for minimum duties, the manu- I facturcrs are deprive d of what otoounts almobi to a monopoly, in the home mark et. as to all woollen cloths, the prices of ate between the minimum reduc tions. This fact was, openly, nod repeat edly avowed in the House of Represen fatives, during the pendency of the Biib 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 nnr r1om»«n ? #Hr c U« ;hc!! be bsntshcd from our bosoms, aud only be remember ed as solemn and enduring warnings, for the futnre. is the fervent prayer of your ikiihfui aud obedient Fellow-Citizen.

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.

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.

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 sed Convention ot MlllodgovUlo, If our views coincide as to the remedy, « meet them in Coovefitloo. and fry and be pre pared at th» next session, with *** a, ** r . ——**•■#£!£!? «M map deem e tnjicintp . acountrvuan.
