SOUTHERN INTERESTS.
The Charleston Courier, with an ability
and independence highly creditable, con-
| tinues its efforts to enlighten our southern
friends, and correct their strange preJudlces
and erroneous notions, on the subject OF the
Tariff. Manufactures, &c. 1t is one OF the
hest conducted papers in the country, and
has n more extensive circulation than any
other in the Southern States.
The Courier of the 9th inst. contains
+ very interesting article showing to the
Southern Planters that they have nothing
to fear from the Tariff that England
would commit an act of suicide by taxing
their Cotton, "as she would then force the
East India, Egyptian and Brazil Cotton to
higher price, and drive our Cotton into a
home market at so cheap rate, as to
enable our manufacturers to undersel
them, and add to the distress of her already
starving population and ruined manuiac-
turers,"-and after adverting to the effect
of the Tariffof 1924 upon Cotton Goods,
which are supplied to the Planter at Il
much cheaper rate than at any period pre-
vious to the enactment of that Tariff, the
writer states the following highly impor-
tant facts:
Our Planters can noi9, get better
Woollen clothing of American Manutac-
ture, and cheaper too, than English cloth
ever was before the tariff of 1924. Twill
state fact, which pledge myselfto prove.
A planter applied to merchant who pre-,
scented him In October last two samples OF
cloth, the one at so cents of American
fabric, the other at so cents of British
, fabric. He admitted the American was
best. but the duty on raw wool in England,
L &c made it impossible to afford the British
l cloth for less. The planter supplied him
S self with the American fabric. His near
a neighbour, as usual, received his cloth from
his factor, who, as usual, dealt with Brit
e ish Importer, and he paid 80 cents. Each
t had, say 100 negroes, at 6 yards-the
: difference was equal to 81, so cents on
t each, or in all $3.50 in favour ofthe Ameri-
: can cloth. This Spring it was admitted
), that the American cloth wore best. Now
: which is most likely to have mortgaged
n estate, the one who deals in Homespun or
n British goods. Let us look back on the
|, ruined Planters of the last 20 years, and
|. on the men who have gone off bloated With
: their wealth-you find the British lnpor-
tiers have absorbed those who dealt with
them. In truth, all the additional price,
which the British goods cost on account of
81 the exactons which the enormous debt Of
/, England demand from her population, was
paid by the consumers in this country. In
deed, the British Statesmen boasted that
we were BETTER THAN COLONIES,
, as we paid our own expenses and an annual
; tribute, in the shape of advances on impor-
, ted Manufactures; and no men more clear
; ly perceive than they do the appalling
, truth, that by protecting our home industry,
!, we shall compel England to relax her
system, or drive her from the market of the
WUrId. acts are Ov ie'el4e-~ --l-;l - Ill
; putable-PlaaterS do sell their produce as
ieeH, and get their goods cheaper, than ,cIten
zee had no american .IannJactNreS."
; Mr.. TRIMBLE. A story has been got
up in some of the opposition papers, that
the Hon. David Trimble, warm friend of
Mr.. Clay, in some address or circular had
confessed that bargain had taken place
between the friends of Clay and Adams,
at the last presidential election. This
has been particularly dwelt upon in those
papers, since the late Notifying exposure
and refutation Of the calumnics of the
MILITARY CHIEFTAIN, by one of his own
, champions We have from the first behev-
ed that this story was base invention;
; that Mr.. Trimble never uttered the words
: attributed to him; and that in the end
) this calumny, like the calumny invented at
: the "fre-side" of the " Hermitage" would
: recoil upon the heads of its propagators.
: This turns out to be actually the case.
5 The National Journal has refuted the
, whole story, and shown that Mr.. Trimble
has said nothing which could warrant the
assertions respecting him in the "kennel
! papers," The Boston Statesman has plac-
, ed itself in most ludicrouS and humiliat-
f ing situation respecting this alleged dec
laration of Mr.. Trimble. 1t announced a
few days ago that the Circular of Mr.. L,
J containing his precious confession of
the bargain, &c. was received at their
office-ttdt 1t could not be conveniently pub
liShed curing to ITS length, &c. and invited
their friends to call at the Office and see it.
1t appears by the Statesman of Saturday,
that the eager Jacksonites did call, and
with "spectacles upon nose" perused it
from beginning to end, and from end to
beginning, but 10 to their unutterable sur
| prise and disappointment, no such declara-
ton or confession could be found in the
document! In this Notifying predica
ment, the Statesman sneakingly says,
"When we saw that Circular published in
the Telegraph, we thought that this dec
laration was contained in it, but upon ex-
animation, we find that it is not, and have
understood that it is contained in an adj
dress or speech lately made by Mr.. Trim
bic. IF Mr.. T did not make this declara-
ton, it is but justice to him, Mr.. Clay and
Mr.. Adams, and it is due to the cause of
truth, that this error should be correct |
