THE SOUTH AND A TARIFF.

AS we have had occasion to remark heretofore,
men s opinions at the South are rapidly changing
in reference TO Tariff. 1t is true that the wings
there with very few exceptions are now in favor Of
Tariff, IL also of distribution Of the proceeds of
sales ofihe public Lands which measure, of course
would lead to the adjustment of Tariff of duties
to The wants Of the Government, and OF necessity,
amount TO a Protective Tariff. A lew restless spir
its, like Wise, Of Va. may be found in opposition
TO Tariff, but they few and far between as
10 he without much influence. AS evidencing
change at the South upon this subject quote the
following from the Richmond (Vn) Wing, lead
ing and inAuo ntia paper at the South:
"'There has been great disappointment the eff
fects of the reduction of the Tariff. 1t has led to
vast i'm portatons, to enormous debt to Europe,
to n drain OF bullion, and TO tho exaggera,ion Of
! the financial difficulties, superinduced by tho mad
tamPering and experimenting Of The Jackson era.
Who point to he single advantage it has bro't
the country, 10 counerbalance these injurious Of.
fec's? We have challenged and challenge again,
South Carolina to produce a single item. Has
more OF her cotton and rice been consumed, ut
as good prices before the reduction took place?
Does she purchase lower than before, or as low?
Let us venture uPon prophecy. If Great Britain
consunaates her known policy Of growing Cotton
! in her Asaiic colonies, and South Carolina is ex-
cluded from her markets, or undersold, South Car.
olina will then knock at the doors Of Congress and
ask for protection for her colton.She will seek to
secure the American market 10 the American
growth.
! Mems opinions have undergone in the South,
and are now undergoing, great changes in respect
TO tho Tariff. They contrast the present with the
past, and the comparison is in favor of protecting
| our own mann factnrcs. We believe we truly stat
ed public opinion, when said that objections
to the tariff were political, not economical; ,ha,
The true objections to it, first, the hostility Of
sections to it, and secondly its liability TO produce
a redundant Treasury.
