The Mercury is mistaken. BY referring 10
our article again, il will find that we adopted
nothing in the premises. We merely pro'essu
against urchurching" the Republican Govern
ors, merely because they did not agree IN op'n'-
on with the Post, the Globe, aud the Mercury,
on the Tariff question. We did not say whose
.p;.;.. VIC willing 10 adopt-bu' aunt
ting that the Republican Governors were IN er-
ror, still we SHOULD protest against al reading
them out of the party" Let TRUTH combat
ERRoR-converts are not made by system OF
summary accommodation. No paper, nor
"li,tle Carolina"-.ho undertake TO read all
the journals, Governors, and States in the
Union, out of the Republican party, because OF
difference Of opinion on any abstract question
of political economy. Ii should not be attempted
for two reasons. First, because the effort would
be certainly unsuccessful, as the stronger would
throw the weaker party overheard. Second,
because it would be unjnst--it would be unjust,
inasmuch as political heresies, if honestly en-
tertained, do not call for punishment, but for
argument. Who, having brother addicted TO
certain vices, would cast him out OF his fathers
house therefor, before resorling to time and
reason to convince him Of his errors2 We i'm
plore our South Carolina contemporary to be
generous and liberal with the Republican Go
vernors of the great Northern States. Reason
with ,hem--rRuTn is the most effective weapon
10 combat error, and TRUTH will prevail at least
as well without the aid of bulls of excommun-
cation, as with them.
In relation TO the Mercury's half way attack
on the President for signing the present Tariff
law, we have only TO say what was said and
admitted by all, or nearly all, at the time, lin
GLIDING many of the most radical Free Trade
men, that there was no other alternative. Mr..
Calhoun represents, in part, South Carolina; OF
course he opposed the bill but had he been the
PRESIDENT, the Representative Of ALL the
States, would he not, under the same circum-
stances, have signed the bill? We hope the
Mercury will give its opinion on this point
We admit the present Tariff TO be " abomna-
ble.D Wesaid at the time il would mot nrndure
We will thank the Mercury never to mention
Nh. Sditonstdll in the same sentence with the
President again. We might as well associate
Mr. Slanly with Mr.. Rhett
