South, liberal towards the manufacturers and wise in
relation TO the revenue Of the Government We have
right to demand, that the Tariff ould, as is
consistent with the state of the Treasury, economically
administered, come down to the compromise point (20
per cent, &C. We shall insist upon il and we beg
cave to call the attention of all friends in Wash
ington to this just and proper requston. The South
mus; have some justice done her, and no unnecessary
5utteas thrown upon one class of the community for
the benefit Of another. Mr. McDufie brings down the
dulles certainly but gradually to the Compromise
point The principle is perfectly correct, whatever
variety of opinion may exist as to the precise details

and commerce, in consequence of the bad condition OF
the navigation Of said river, being compelled, IN many
instances at much trouble and expense, 10 wagon

all of which, occasoned by the neglect and refusal
Of the Wiss Company to keep the navigation OF The
said River in such order the law requires, and for

all articles transported on sad river:
And whereas at former meeting held in this place,

TO THE EDITORS OF THE E.SQUIR
Gentlemen: In your brief report, published in this

cratic meeting Tuesday night, am represented as
Offering and supporting resolution against the APP
pointment Of delegates TO the District Convention Of
the llth Of January next, the score OF the mprn-
dence Of such action at this time. This IS mistake,
and some what strange one view Of the facts tbs
the resolution actually offered otherwise couched,
and that the remarks made by rested my oppo-
sition TO the proposed action, not much its
tmPrudence, (serIous, as in my opinion that was,)

olation Of implied compac, for delay, upon the
faith of which, all portions had acted in concert and

outstanding the majority of d. to ~ or, as you pre-
fer to style it, neary two to one against me, that
OCCASION still think that the selection of delegates t,
the National Convention should be committed 10 the
people lves not submitted to the preferences Of
accidental Charmen, or exposed TO the possible Jug
gery OF intermediate agencies The word expressive
of opposition, used the resolution offered by me,
inerpedient, not imprudent and while certainly
ing considerations OF policy, was designed more exp
city to embrace the ground of principle. Wishing to
be distinctly understood in this matter, must request
you, justice to myself and those who acted with me
at the meeting, to publish this letter.
Respectfully, yours,
