alone? Will not the workshops of the East suffer
also? And will not these avarcious manufacturers
who still insist upon the bond, and the last drop of
blood with il, become the first victims of their own
Unsuitable cupidity?
Ii gives us pain TO throw out these suggestions
Virginia is devoted to the Union of the States As
Tor ourselves, IT we may presume to speak of such
humble persons as ourselves, we have not for
borne to do any thing that we fairly could to
compromise our differences, and to save the
country from conmotion. But, when we look
TO the infatuation and obstnacy of the advo-
Gates OF the manufacturers, and when turn to the
dark cloud which hovers s. Carolina how can
we help quailing at the very idea of an adjourned
Congress and an unad justed Tariff?
Yet we will not yet despair of the Republic
Should this bill fail, we trust another effort will be
made. We have before us, in the last Charleston
Evening Post the following sketch of a compromise.

" Nh IusetcelrS AmenGment.--We learn by letter
from Washington, that Mr. Tazewers amendment TO the

embraced in the Tariff, and make the following retuc
tons on the same, commencing on the day f. 1888
'The class will embrace articles above 80 M cent

Mr. Tyler is entitled to the thanks of every friend

improvement of the bed of river by which a cir

right to make an expenditure canal running la
