Southern States, is OF too serious character, 10
leave any doubt on my mind OF man friendly to 4
the Tariff, as to the character and measures TO be
adopted for its aboton.-The only substantial diff
ference of opinion in South Carolina is, whether
they shall secede from the Union at once, wait un
til another Congress sits to send their ultimatum
which is, the unconditional repeal Of the Tariff Law
of last winter.
THIS state is the nucleus ofGen Jacksons power.
IT is his native state, the home of his early attach
ments and sympathies. Mr. Calhoun,a man Of splen-
did talents, candidate Tor vice president, is 4 ma
tive and citizen of that State entertaining the most
mfrendiy sentiments TO the prefecture system, no.
in of his election may, in more events than one
be President OF the United States in the coming four
years. Mr.. Dufie the chairman OF the committee
of ways and means of the nation, native and citi
zen of South Carolina. and the undisputed leader
and palinurus of Gen. Jacksons friends in Congress
appears to have spent the past summer In inilarn-
ing the minds Of his fellow citizens, on great pub
lie OCCASION with all the arts OF eloquence, TO make
them believe unless the Tariff Law is Immediately
repealed, that their only remedy was rebellion, and
sure an.idoe was high treason. His speeches are
before the public this congressional leader OF
Gen. Jackson's friends, has spent the past summer
in invoking the people of the Southern States 10 re-
solve themselves into the first elements Of society,
and dissolve the Unon--cemented and purchased
with the best blood Of America, on account OF the
protection given by the tariff law of last winter, to
the wool, wooens, iron, wheat and corn raised
and made in our own country, in preference to that
raised and made by foreign nations.
I Mr.. Hamilton. second only in influence with the
party OF Gen Jackson has the same views as to the
Tariff, with Mr.. McDulfe, and is a native and clti-
zen of South Carolina. These men or men ofthis
stamp it requires no second sight to discover, will
constitute the me bers of Gen. Jackson's cabinet,
if elected. And what cabinet or administration,
has there been in this country, since the formation
of the constitution, whose influence on legislation
might not be fairly estimated as equal to twenty or
thirty votes, whenever it was exerted!
The Southern States may be set down, (who will
all support General Jackson,) as feeling an unreal
sonabe enmy to the Tariff Law, (because it gives
strength vigor, capital, home market, an increase
of votes to the Northern and Middle States,) to
which may be added the city of New York. part Of
Boston, and some other of the New England sea-
board towns, who are Joined 10 foreign idols, which
