SOUTHERN MOVEMENTS.

1TIn our last paper, we copied an ac- count of the proceedings of certain individu- als convened at Walterborough. S. c. in which much strange language is to be found We have done by words all that words can do." says the address. "I0 talk more must he0 dastard's refage." And "open resistance sjf the law Is Suggesting in Constitutional way the constitution itself being what the gentlemen themselves please to saysthat it is! On the whole more extraordinary paper did not appear in the days of the Hartford Convention, and disposition to extend the excitement is manifested on many occasions, even in speech of MT. M'Dufie, just deliv- cred at Columbia-whch shall be inserted hereafter, for the Judgment of the people.
 The southern papers begin to abound with articles of violent cast; and it would seem that nothing will satisfy the wild politicians of that country, but an abandonment of the principles which have steadily prevailed from the adoption of the constitutiOn--the first petition ever presented to Congress convened under it, being that of certain per sons in the town of Baltimore for the protec- Iion of American industry, and the second act passed by that congress, dated July 4,I789 g. has these words in its ttle-f0r {" the encouf- agement and protection cf manut utactures;" and it is in vain to expect that the growers of grain. cattle and sheep, the farmers, mechan.- ics and mdnutacturers of the United States, at least three -f0urths of the PEOPLE, will give up the old and settled interpretations of the constitution, or the laws which they have caused to be enacted, to the visionary spec ulations or idle threats of a fragment of the remaining fourth of the citizens of the Uni ted States. We disavow, from the bottom of our hearts the shadow of a wish to oppress the people of the south. As to the tariff we stand prepared to shew that every article which has been protected is supplied at a re- duced price to the cOnsumer-and we blunt
 Iy place this broad proposition against all the declamations, all the fire and fury, of the pot
 iticians of the south. If this proposition be
 founded on facts-and they have not been
 contested except in terms 600 general to be grappled, whence comes the ruin and distress that some speak of? Has the demand for the tity consumed, been caused by acts of the government No, not one pound; on the contrary, the demand has increased and If surplus has reduced it's price, it is the result of proceedings over which government has
 not, and cannot rightly have, any cOntrol.- We heartily wish that cotten was at much
 higher price than it is-we wish that wheat
 had an average value of 1 50 cents per bush el instead.of from 50 to 7O-bOth being caus-
 ed by foreign demand ;Abut as the acts of the [ United States cannot affect the price of either
 abroad, we would increase the use of both
 by establishing manufactures and seeking new
 consumers at home. We say neiO consumers;
 fer the great market for the growers of grain is now in the New-England states; and in the states north of the Potomac will soon be the most secure market for the growers of cotton. But our present purpose is only to introduce some extracts from the southern papers, that our readers may see the matter and manner of them.
 ,.In the Southron," Ia paper which we have before referred tO,) printed in MilIedge- vile. Ga. we find the following remarks: Ar ter alluding to the passage of the tariff bill, and calling it the 'accursed chain to bind us as victims to the idol mammOn : "a detesta- ble badge of slavery and degradation" Sc. SIc. the editor goes on to say: "We must now turn ourselves to other means, and oth- CT defences, constitutional indeed, but at the same time with spirit pushing resistance to the very bounds of the constitution. Let there be wall raised between them and us, and let us say unto them as Abraham said unto Lot:
 "Let there Ce no strits, I pray thee, bet,ceen thee and me, and bettceen thy herdmen and my herdmen: for fre De brethren. IS not the tchOIe
