A CALL FROM THE SOUTH FOR Tariff
The Savannah Georgian holds this language:
Protection.-A state of feeling is growing
I'D in the south upon this subject very different
! from that existing ten years ago. Ii is natural
that il should be SO, when It is but TOO evident
that our interests lead us to such change.
Free trade with all its beauties las brought
with il few or no benefits but rather train of
caamities, and we find the whole south labor.
ing under complete prostration of prosperity.
We do not hesitate now to say that the cause
may be fond in the fact, that we do not live
| sufficiently within ourselves. We do not en-
courage home manufactures, and therefore task
all our energies, and them in vain, to pay for
those things Of which the main part could be
produced amongst ourselves.
Labor Is misappied-we produce more Of
our staple than is wanted. and we have not yet
learned 10 distribute our force upon those Oh.
jects which would prove most profitable. To
enable us 10 do this, it is necessary 10 erect
some barrier 10 keep foreign competition from
interfering with US, and rendering our efforts
fruitless by driving US from our own markets.
This must be by protection. We shall then
produce, and manufacture, and consume our
own products, and not be thrown entirely into
idleness by The great glut of my one article,
as is now the case. Cotton is drug, and OF
low price, and till we can turn our hands 10
something else, we must continue 10 languish.
Even this article requires a protection, and
our assertion last summer. that with the reduc-
iion Of the DUTY by the compromise act TO 20
per cent. the East Indies would meet US in our
own market, is nearer being realized than we
expected.
The following extract from the Washington
Correspondent of the Charleston Courier, is
the proof and must wake up the South to her
peculiar position:
we learn that large orders have been sent
from Boston and Salem to the East Indies for
cotton, during the last month! The increasing
products of cotton in the British East Indies
will soon attract the attention of our Southern
producers, and tariff of protection must be
resorled 10 by hem.'
| We suspect there moy be some doubts as to
those order while cotton is so low at home, but
The least advance liz our prices, we are certain.

July next the compromise act goes into opera
alton, and reduces the duty to 20 per cent. in
stead Of three cents per pound.

| THE Vines TTIuMpHANr--A WING MAYOR

JoRrrY IN THE COMMON CoUNcIL.-The annual
Charter Election was held in this city yester.
day, and resulted as usual in the election Of q
Wing Mayor. and Wing majority in the
Common Council. The Hon. Jonas C. Heart,
our present able and popular Mayor. is reel
ected by majority somewhat reduced from his
majority somewhat reduced from his majority
last year. Local causes, having no connec.
ton with party politics, produced falling off
in the Wing vote for Mayor in some of the
wards. Additional causes other than political
have also given to the locos greater strength in
The Common Council than they previously
possessed.
The Wings have gained one Supervisor,
VIM. H.Van Schoonhoven, in place of Archi-
bald Bnl, and have lost one by the election of
Oliver L. Sears, in the place of Israel Sey
mour. They have elected John r. Kimberly
their candidate for the Office Of General Asses
sor.
On the whole, the Wings have every reas.
on to congratulate themselves on the result of
The election. Many unusual circumstances
were combined against them, over all which
! they have gloriously triunphed; and We doubt
whether there is another city in the stnte thai
