Va In conversation with some Of Our
Wing friends in relation 20 Protective
Tariff thcy seem to have altogether mis-
unprecedented Us. In publishing the arli.
Giles referred to We intended TO show that
Protective Tariff was considered conslitu-
iional soon after the adoption Of the pres
cnt Constitution, we'll If it was consiltu-
tioaal then il must he constitutional now.
Ii is well known that many ut the South
say il is unconstitutional, and here origin.
atcs their opposition. We believe such
a measure to have been the true policy Of
tho culnify and VIC still think that time
will show il. But Of the expediency %
a Tariff Of Protection at this time VIC said
no, word--ior d measure IN our opinion
may b. constitutional but yet not cxpcdient.
What We wish to impress upon our Rad.
ers is this That il the Protective policy

continued to the present day home mar
kct would have been made for all wc could
raise, for the attention Of our planters
would no, have been engaged to any great
extent IN the raising of any one article
for instance, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi aud Louisiana could raise Cot
ton and North Carolina, Georgia and Ten
nesscc could tarn their attention to some
thing else, silk for instance, ard SO with the
others, while some OF the Northern States
could manufacture and make use of our
productions and each be benefited and
mutually dependant on the other, aud thus
render us independent of other nations.--
But now this cannot be the case, for one
half nearly raises Cotton which we cannot
consume and a foreign market must be
sought; bu, when England has succeeded
in supplying hor demand from her own
provinces a heavy duty will be Ibid by her
to the exclusion of our cotton, Just as she
has done on our bread stutls, aud what will
the Southern States do thenl They will
DO forced to adopt the culture Of some 9TH
or article in the place of their staple. II
is thought by some that England will new
or succeed in raising Cotton enough fol
her supply, and thus always afford mar
ket for our Cotton, but the following ex
