tho State, that you may read and understand it fol,
yourselves"
This is addressed to the Farmers of II. island
who are told that the bill is intended o secure TO
"A. Jackson the votes of the slare-holng States and
that it strikes fatal and irreirieraLie bioc al me IN
duStry Of The North;" that "it begins with the de-
suucuon Oh the business of GROWING WOOL, in
which farmers have the first and deepest stake and
is based as is avowed by the Secretary who report
cd ii, on THE TOTAL REPEAL of the TARIFF
that sit will destroy the (wool) business, and every
farmer may as well at once kill his sheep and cat
the mutton"
Let any man mark these separate extracts, and
mediate well upon the views which they exhibit,
And yet there are men at Washington, who, from
pusillanmous feelings from ambitious motives
are willlng 1t is said, to keep this question open-o
procrdStinGte its decsion-and, who by this course
OF conduct seem determined to keep alive the dis
contents OF our country throw the torch discord
INTO the South to jeopardse the Union itself-not to
speak oil their Willingness TO draw from the pockets
OF the people eleven millions of dollars which are
not wanting to extngush the public debt or to meet
the eXpences of the government They are more
over wiling to throw this large surplus into the Irea-
sury TO corrupt the very vitas of the Constitution
We allude to another rumour that is ahoat-Itis
that many of the Representatives i'm Congress from
the state OF n. York intimdated by the clamours
OF they avaricous manufacturers, and arc prepared
to fly off from every liberal adjustment ofthis vexed
question; and express very little nterestin preserv-
ing the Union, or in doing justice to the injured
South. Can Htis be so? Will they sacrifice their
country to u set fgrecdy monopolsts? If it be so
then let them beware of the consequences New
York will feel too late the loss of her influence in tho
Union, or the ruin which she may bring upon it,
And mark well another thing.-Rely upon it, we
speak the voice of thousands, who, like ourselves
have not even pins fee TO ask ofher that her sous
may hereafter turn i'm to the South for support
VI she now turns against u.s.
Upon two points, wish it to be distinctly un
dersood; that let this veXed question be now settled
upon any terms of compromise, as it may we will
eDI ILo
ces Of The government, and we will never cease to
struggle for the gradual reduction and final ertino,tish
men OF HS protective system. These will be the cardinal
maXns ofour faith-and freely avow them In
tins spirit we cordially thank Messrs. Bouldn and
Johnson and our other Virginia members in the IT,
oil H. for their Jealous and able efforts TO arrest that
extravagant and monstrous system of pensions
which is attempted to he saddled upon us-Tho
eloquent efforts of Mr.. Hayne in the Senate are
worthy OF all praise. Differ as we may with him
on notification or some other points-and indiffcr-
ent as he may be TO any euiogum which may come
from this nu1nDc pen, to truth 10 nav this
homage to his talents and his principles.
And upon the other question, we shall think our
selves bound in fair and argumentative manner IN
maintain constant claim for the abolition of this mr.
tilcial system of the Tariff--and to keen OH r eve
upon the ultimate realization of prn cple laid down
IN the last Charleston Mercury, at the close of ;to
article upon the projet
because the contest in W hch thew are enc,reJ ;,n
not only question Of interest money but the Great
principles oil CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY AND EoSAT
RIGHTS because the Southern States deny the Right of
the reacral government TO tax them unequaIy for tho
beneh oil others, whether the amount be small or great,
And because, u standing they upon their rts
The contest never can be relnqucd until the protectve
principle shall be abandoned, and their liberties eganeJ
Cut dotcn our expenses 10 The strict letter of lie Com,
8tidtOn, and 10 The real tcantS of the Gorey1,nenf-
GU do'c" the Revenue TO the necessary expenses:
Upon these two principles, so far as il relates tn
the purse of the country, hang all The Lao and The
Prophets.
