q THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG"

Our readers know that Thomas Cooper is president
of the Columbia South Carolina, College, and is as
much opposed to the American System as M Dutfle,
Hamilton or any other of his fellow citizens OF that
State He has lately been IN Pennsylvania, ,where,he
saws, his conversations have been misrepresented.
TO correct errors, he has published an article IN
the Democratic Press, September %, from which
we select this sentence g 1t is very possible l
may have said that we In the South preferred zen.
Jackson TO Mr.. Adams MORE PARTICULARLY,
because, under the Administration OF the fOR-
MER, the Tariff would have chance gilmore fair
discussion and REPEAL, than under .Mr. adams
Administration FOR | THINK So"
Our readers have seen,from our late publications,
on what grounds several prominent Jackson men
in Pennsylvania and New York, favorable to the
American System, have determined to give their
support TO the Administration: which IS, that that
System and the Administration must stand or tnt
together And such is view OF this subject,
that we have declared and fully believe, that no con-
fdence is to be placed in those professions OF friend
liness TO the American System, made by men who
have seen the proceedings of the South, and know
the British hostility TO it, and yet support General
jackson, the very man whom the South and the Brl-
tish wish to see placed in the presidential chair.
They may profess as much as they please, and they
may believe themselves right, and try to make 9TH
er people give them credence but seeing the
declarations Of the South

| And 5-to send their ultimatum to Congress, at
their next session--we say, when we see these
things and know that British gold is circulating to
bring about the election of more acceptable to
England and the South than Mr.. Adams, we do not,
cannot, and will not place any confidence in such
professions, made by men who have the same means
of information II the men friendly to Jackson, and
protesting to be friendly to the American System,
have not this informatlon it is strange indeed
We recommend them to look at Niles Register of
Saturday last for ofimportant information ON
this subject. They will fine history of the Com
binaton proceedings during the last Session ofCon-
gress the yeas and nays, and long account of
the Southern excitement. John G. Calhoun, the
jackson Candidate for the Vice Presidency it will
be seen pronounces the Tariff to be .' uaconstitu-
tional," and thinks it ''anust be repedled."-kO
We recommend them, also, to ascertain the senti-
ments ofthe great body of Manufacturers, at home
and abroad, and the why certain Jackson far
mers and manufacturers have changed in favor of
the Administration. supposing that they have the
same information on this subject that we have, we
place no confidence in their professions Of friend
lship to the American System, at is moment, ifthey
mean to their influence in favor OF the election
of General Jackson. This is no matter of choice
on part, but we are compelled to form the con-
cusion by the evidence of facts.
4 Now let us look at the declaration Of Thomas
Cooper, citizen of South Carolina, Of the
most intelligent men, who assuredv knows what is
to be expected, if Gen. Jackson should succeed.
II is evident, from the above extract, that there is
