The Peoples Advocate, printed at Yorkvile
in South Carolina, says, that meetings continue
TO be held in different districts in that State for
the purpose of expressing their disapprobation
of the present Tariff, and depreca:ing any
increase Of it. OF the object of these meet
ings the Advocate seems 10 approve; but, in
doing so, adds the following remarks, which,
coming from that quarter, deserve commenda
ton. not so much because they are true, as be-
cause they are spoken in an honest spirit. The
conduct of this Editor is recommended to the
Editors Of the Richmond Enquirer, and Others,
who "know the right, and yet the wrong 2ur.

the Resolutions Of the Legislature of Virginia,
81 its last session, and to the measures with

follow them up, the Enquircr's denial Of such
a.purpose to the contrary notwithstanding; for,

Mat the Enquirer is kept in the dark upon that
subject, as much as it is upon some others:

resolutions Of these (anti-tariH) meetings.
They are too violent and menacing. They

They evince too much OF disposition 10 stand
10 arms before the argument is exhausted. We
cannot bear to hear Of any other method Of car.
rying or opposing any public measure than
sound reasoning and fair argument We do not
like to hear the division of the Union brought
forward on every slight occasion in which
collision OF interests takes place between two
sections of our common country. 1t is TO be
hoped that the next Congress, like all former
Congresses, will be governed by reason and ar.
gument
VT il is shewn by ample statistical facts and
the lar deductions of sound reason, that the
Tariff OF 1924 is injurious TO the interests OF
this country, it Is to be hoped that it will be re.
2ealed without resort TO the desperate expe-
dent oil an appeal TO arms, or division of the
Union. Where, then, is the necessity of using
this threatening and irritating language, at this
early Stage Of the business?"
Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1827-08-16

South, 10 say the least, is as much benefited BY
the union as any other quar- ter of the county.
and, on several accounts, ould be the greater
loser by separation. The people neither feel
themselves oppressed nor borne down; and any
man who attempts to pois on their minds, and
weaken their attachment to the Union, by re-
presenting it as burdensome and oppressive,
and telling them they can d better without il,
deserves the deepest execration; deserves TO be
branded as traitor-and more especially il he
be foreigner, who has here received shelter,
protection and encouragement. In such one
it is base ingratitude!
On this subject, let Washington speak-he
who in truth is styled the Father of his Coun.
try, who doubtless knew the value flour Union,
at least as well as Dr.. Cooper, and who was as
much attached 10 our republican Institutions as
DR.. Cooper, or any other foreigner possibly
can be- In his Farewell Address, Washington
speaks as follows, and may his words sink deep
into every heart:
"The unity of government, which constitutes you
one people, is also dear you, II sjustly so; for it
is main pillar in the edfce of your real indepen.
dence, the support of your tranquility at home, your
peace abroSd Of your safety; OF your prosperity; Of
that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as i
is easy foresee, that from different and from
different quarters much pains will be taken, many ar.
tifces employed, to ceaken your minds the convc.
ton of this truth, this is the point in your political
fortress against which the batteries of internal and ex
ternsl enemies viii be most constantly and actively tho
Oft covertly and insidiousy) directed, it is Of infinite
moment that you should properly estimate the immense
value of your national nion, to your collective and IT.
dvidual happiness; that you should cherish cordial
habitua and mmovabe attachment to il; accustomnp
yourselves 20 think and speak oft as the paldim
of your public safety and prosperity; watching for its
preservation with jealous anxiety; dscOuntenoncns
whatever may suggest eren suspicion that il cam in
any event, be abandoned; and Indignantly Jrounine
upon the first awnng of every attempt to ALLEVIATE any
portion of our country from the rest to eneebe the
sacred ties which link together the various parts"
How unlike is this language to that o: DR..
Cooper! The language Of Washington is the
language Of friend, Of wise counsellor, Of a
patriot; the language of Dr.. Cooper is that ola
- but we forbear: ii is mol The language of
friendship II is such language as no American,
who values his character, who loves his Country,
should ever permit himself TO use and such as
NO foreigner should be countenanced in using
