and fas.en upon US a bill with high duties, and an op.
pressire Tariff.
In that contingency, we beg leave TO whisper n res.
pectful word OF advice 10 the I" High Church" Mem.
brrs. DO not be too greedy. Play not the l-sch too
deeply upon us. Content Yourselves with a moderate
duiy-lest by making the duty too high, you cut of
too much revenue from The Treasury-and you prevent
what you profess 50 much 10 desire, permanency and
regularity in the customs. The Democratic party can.
not vote Tor such "a bill of abominutions"-and the
moment they come into power, which another session
will bring round, they will feel themselves bound TO
retrench its %enormities, and the reaction will fall with
greater weight upon your present manufacturers, in
creased az they will he by The additional competitors,
who will spring up in the forcing hot bed which your
avarice Inns prepared. How much soever the South
may be disposed TO submit TO a just Revenue Tariff,
which is calculated to meet the economical expenses OF
The Government, she will never acqniesce III any new
bill OF Nominations. She will ring in your ears, the
Compromise Act of "33-She viii insist on the spirit,
if not the letter, of the bond-She will hold up to you
the "Treaty of ami,y and peace" which you once
made with her-and we'll will it be for your Federal
party, IT she be contented to stop with driving every
Wing representative from our public councils, who
will lift his voice or his vote in favor of such a system.
The X. Wing will never learn sense or decency. j,
has fabricated a stupid story of a plan on foot, by our
Republican friends. TO hold meetings in the different
counties, in order to raise an eleenosynary fund for our
benefit. We know, and we believe that he knows, that
there is nothing If the sort in agitation. At ali events,
we defy him II prnduce the slightest title of evidence

never have heard n whisper about n single meet
ing, or 4 single Republican, proposing 10 raise d
cents contribu:ion far our advantage. We leave
10 the Wing all the honor aud all The benefit OF
taking the hat around and begging its friends for
donreurs 10 relieve lis Gistresses. We neither ask such
favors from the Republican party, nor wonld we accept
them. We are making arrangements TO MEET The re-
