AGRARlANISM AND A PROTEC.
TIVE TARIFF THE SAME IN
PRINCIPLE,

|
Some months ago, we had occasion 10
ask the question of some of the advocates
of protective tariff "what difference there
was between protective tariff and an
dgrdridn ldp." We have had no answer
perhaps in consequence of the source
from which the question came, not being
high enough TO command the attention Of
the great Oracles of Restriction and Mo.
nopoly. We are glad to sec Mr. ]. c.
Calhoun Of S. c., takes the same view of
this subject we did, as appears from the ex-
tract below, from his speech delivered the
9Th of August last.
Viii the friends of the tariff system an.
swer Mr.. Calhoun--he is certainl y regard
ed even by his opponents, as not inferior in
point Of intellect to any man in the Union,
and if he has expressed an erroneous opin-
ION on so important matter, il ought to be
exposed it is downright folly for any one
to attempt to treat the opinions of such a
man as Mr.. Calhoun with contempt. We
again ask, and we now do it in the follow.
ing language of Mr.. Calhoun--what does
an agrarian law in principle, differ from a
protective tariff law? Herr him:
considered in this milder light, where,
Senators, will you find the power to give
the assistance asked :, Or, if that can be
found, how can you reconcile it to the
principles of justice or equity to grant il ?
But suppose that to be overcome, ask,
are You prepared TO adopt as principle,
hot ,han hnan af ind 10
suffering from depressed prices, is it your
duty to call on all others to assist it. Such
is the broad principle that lies at the bot
tom of what is asked; and what would it
be, if carried out, but equalization of in
come 4? And what that, but aggrArianism,
as to income :? And in what would that
differ, in effect, from aggrarianism of pro.
pe>ty, which you, on the opposite side OF
the chamber profess SO much to detest
But, if you are not ready to carry out the
principle in its full extent, are you prepared
to restrict it in single class--the manu-
features Will you give them the great
and exclusive advantage of having the
right of demanding assistance from tho
rest of he community, whenever their pro-
fits are depressed below the point OF re,
muneration by vicissitudes to which all
others are exposed"
Here are some serious questions asked;
which the Southern states that are destined
TO be perpetual minority, in the coun
ellis of the nation, ought to be able to an
swer TO their satisfaction. We know there
are some purbllnd political bigots among
us, who will not pause to consider this grave
and vital subject, bit rush headong a ter
their party leader, although he conducts
them TO destruction.

The for.orn hope of the Wings, is div-
sion in the Democratic ranks, in the coming
Presidential contest. "Out of the fulness
OF the hear, the mouth speaketh," and ac-
cordingly Nc every day see and hear the
Wings, III pan!,e and private, and in their
papers, exulting st what they think is the
prospec, of feud and division in The ranks
of our party. Conscious that people dis
gus,ed at the results and consequences OF
the last electlon--an election which was
carried by humbuggery--wil now demand
an issue on principle, and well knowing
their inability TO meet, successfully. such an
issue, "their hearts desire, and prayer to
God is" tina. the Democratic party may be
divided against itself in the choice of men.
But our Wing brethren count without their
host Although it is very true, that for some
one Of the several great men whose names
have been mentioned in connection with a
Democratic nomination, almost every indi-
vidual entertains, and nearly all our presses
throughout the Union, have expressed
some preference, yet the utmost cordially
OF feeling prevails, and, every where, we
see and hear expressed an entire willing
ness, nay a determination, to abide the ar
bitrament of a national convention fairly
made. We are too much united on prin-
cipIe, ever TO permit minor differences as 20
men, 10 divide and distract us. The Wings
may dismiss the unmaEly wish for division
that they may conquer, and rest assured
that whoever our Convention may bring
forward as our standard bearer, ia the next
nhict, will receive the united support OF
the party--at least suficien, thereof, TO So
cure a Waterloo defeat in 1914, TO Mr. Clay
and Protective Tariff.
In the meantime, We advise our Wing
brethren, who lay such "fatterng unctions
10 their SOULS" to be on their guard, lest the
division they SO much hope for in us, befal
themselves. The following letter from Gen.
Scott. to a gentleman in Ohio, just before
the advent OF Mr. Clay to Dayton, may be
looked upon as being decidedly oninous Of
the fact, that the I" Hero of Lundy's Lane"
is not at all disposed quietly to abandon the
field, to the I" lord OF Ashland" Military
chieftains are very popular now -a-days, in
Wing National Conventions, and the Major
General of all the armies OF the United
States, does not seem disposed to be pushed
off the track, by the ipse dirt OF few Clay
clubs, who fear the decision of National
Convention. The Major very modestly, but
distinctly says he can know no one as
candidate for President or Vice President,
until a National Convention shall haze
spoken--that it is unsafe to place candidates
before the people without regular nomina-
lion and moreover, he distinctly announ-

We copy the following from the Wood
vile Republican. The Republican is the
only Wing paper in the State, SO far as we
have seen, that stands up, boldly and hon.
estly to professions of southern Wings,
made in 1870, on the subject of the Tariff.
The Republican plainly in,imates that /. is
no nose of wax, to be taken between the
niger and thumb Of the "party leader" and
placed just where he may wish it, on the

The Vicksburg Wing has rePubllshed the
letter written by Gen.. Jackson to DR.. Col
man in I842.--The Wing has falsely and
fraudulemly" altered the date of the letter
from 1924 to 1912, whereby it might to some
be made to appear that Genl. Jackson en-
tertains now the sentiments expressed
by him in a letter written about 10 wears
ago--As well might Mr.. Clay's speech made
against the Bank in 1911. be now published
as evidence of his present views on the
consttutlonali;y and eXpedjency OF that
institution. We were disposed 10 think
when we first saw in The Whlg, the letter al
Iuded to, to set it down as a mistake in the
composior, but having noticed its publica-
ton more thar twice in the same paper,
with the same date affixed, we have been
obliged to set it down as wiIful perversion
of fact, with intention to deceive.
The Louisville Journal has recently pub
lished the same letter, but correctly
Shame, on the Editor of the Wing, to let.
even the Journal outstrip him in decency,
fairness and truth.

TINES In MARYLAND.-A correspondent
from Md. writes 10 us, MANY farmers
who have been considered "moneyed
men" are almost pennyless. True, they
have large mass of stock. negroes and
land, but they are unable to get money e.
nough to pay for ordinary necessaries for
family use, and are still less able to pay Of
ficers fees and county levy.--ln addition
TO these two last items, there is direct tax
of 25 cts. in every 500 worth of property
levied upon them and how they are to pay
it no one knows. To meet these IMPOSE
tons the people throughout Nd. have most
indifferent crops OF corn--scarcely any
wheat and but ordinary oat crops.-The
hard times with us are only beginning to
be felt--next year will wiring the heart o.
many a poor sufferer'--There is actually
not enough corn making this year to sup
port the inhabitants of this county, Consta-
bes' sales are frequent.-I have seen pro-
perry worth 60, so or 500 sold for an ex
.
nefarious and abominabe Vaccinations of
modern Whiggery and its patronized
swindling Shropshire banks-it has been
produc ed by the wild aud needless throw
ing away of the public treasure on works
Of Internal Improvement, in which the
state has so largely intermingled, thereby
creating such load of debt upon the peo-
pie as if pressed now, must bring about
insolvency and utter ruin without bounds.
| hope, however, that the entire political
complexion Of the state is about to change.
The people see they have been deceived
and that the promise of two dollars per day
and roast beef is humbug. Some of the
people are for reputation downrght;--oth-
ers are for lettering the collection of the
state taxes;seling the States interest in the
public works, and law to stay executions.

RHopE TsLAND.--The convention TO re-
form the constitution of Rhode Island met
at Newport on the 18th September. Mr..
Ennis introduced resolution that the Sd
article of the "people's constitution, -
which declares that the people have right
TO change their constitution, whenever
they please, should be incorporated in the
Fill of Rights The whole session, up TO
the last accounts, had been engaged in the
dircussion of this proposition. We have
become DE generated indeed when such a
plain principle OF liberty is seriously debat-
ed To deny proposition, so clearly set
forth in the declaration of Independence,
and hitherto undenied, is an evidence of
the political degeneracy of the times, equal
ed only by the new doctrine NEW for the
South that exclusive and separate privi-
eges in the shape of protective tariffs,
81 ould be conferred upon the manufacture
ing, to the injury Of the planting and all
other interests.

GEN. SCOTT'S LETTER.
Independent Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1842-1844, 1842-10-15
MR.. WEBsTER'S SPEECH.

Mr.. Webster delivered his long looked
for speech at Faneuil Hall on Both ult. He
shows very plainly that he does not intend
10 resign his present place. II is full OF
hard thrusts at Mr.. Clay and, without
naming him once, it gives him as severe a
castigation as the ''leader" has received
since the day when Randolph uttered his
invective against him. Mr.. Webster takes
the late Massachusetts Convention to task
for having nominated Mr.. Clay---says the
convention had no authority TO make the
nomination, having been called together
for the sole purpose Of nominating candi-
dates for Governor and 1t. Governor---He
also abuses the conversions for declaring a
full and special separation" from the pres
dent, by the wings; on this subject, he, ve-
ry wisely tells the wings cdrPe diem--they
had better, he says, use and cherish the au-
thority and power they now have, than run
the uncertain risk of acquiring more
"Oh most righteous Judge"
Mr.. w. said the present out cry against
the veto power, 4Nr. Clay's great hobby
horse ais the mere effect of resentment
that the attempt to getr OF il is "a moker,
Of the homes Of the tchigs." The speech
praises the Exchequer Plan to the skies,
and claims the authorship of it for Mr..
Webster hmscf-on the subject of the
Bank he says;
"You would not desire foreign bank,
with large capital, to come, uHtaxed, into
State street tomorrow, and share the local
business with your own banks. You do
not want the nation TO send one here; you
are Indifferent about it; you would not OPP
pose it, perhaps; but it is not the object OF
your daily Desires But i we are to wait
for the restoration of a sound currency till
such bank is established, say to you that
we might rs well wait tor the incoming Of
the Jews"
"A second Daniel come TO Judgment
Mr.. Uebhter said he felt restrained from
making as full development OF his views
as he ould like to have done, by the consid-
Grafton, that he had been invited to speak by
many of those his political friends who had
acted with the convention. and he there
fore thought it indicate, to go as fully
as he would like into the expression OF his
views. He promises further development
soon.

KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

Mr.. Clay admits the power of Congress
to abolish slavery in the District of Column
ba and in the territories.
He pledges hmseIf,i if elected president,
to sign Bill, abolishing slavery in the
District and Territories, if such bill should
pass Congress.
He is the father Of the protective system,
and pledges himself to sign any bill for a
tariff of protection that Congress may pass.
Wings Of 1910, ye who then SO loudly
denounced Mr.. Van Buren, for admitting
the power of Congress 10 abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia and for admitting
the power Of Congress to create protec-
tive tariff, though he was expressly pledg-
ed to veto bill for either purpose, think of
these things.
