L" Hemp for Traitors" :"

In late Coon procession In Natchez there was
a small banner for each State with short motto
after the name of the State The motto for South
Carolina was the following
"SoUTH CAR for Traitors"
In reference to this the last Charleston Mercu-
ry says:
"The whole course of federal legislation is such
a sweeping insult to South CaroIiniaus that we
care very little about the barking of the puppies
OF monopoly and will therefore confess that there
is an appropriateness in the above motto, of which
the writers were perhaps not aware. 4
For if it be true that the Legislator who prostitutes
his trust to legslate the money of his felow-cit-
zens into his own pocket is& s&guilty of Larceny.
HENRY CLAY is athef, and the proofs of his guilt
are now in Charleston. There are some hundreds
OF bales of Tariff protected Kentucky Cotton Bag
glng now in the stores of respectable Factoraee
House in our city sent here to be sold in the name
and on account Of Mr.. Candidate CLAY-HENRY
CLAY. He has sent the traitors hpnsp,-but it
is not to hang but TO chedtthem
IL IS true that the Legislator who prostitutes
his trust to legislate money out of his fellow
citizens into his own pocket, is thie, no matter
where or in what shape the proof of his guilt
may be- The present tariff law gives Henry
Clay and other hemp growers of Kentucky 6f1v.
three per cent @pom their Cotton 6agging, and
this comes out of the Southern farmers who
have it to buyi Cotton bagging has risen the
present season at least twenty per cent; and
whilst the farmer has to take redCced price for
his cotton hepays, under Mr.. Clay's tariff, an in
creased price upon the bagging to put it in No
wonder Mr. Clay and his particular friends oppose
repeal or modification Of the present tariff:

DISASTROUS HURRICANE AT
HAVANA

By the brig Empresario. arrived this
morning from Havana, we have received
accounts of most disastrous hurricane in
that city. 1t occurred on the 9th inst, and
occasioned incalculable loss and destr,ic
ton in the harbor, the city and the neigh
boring plantations.
The number of vessels supposed TO be
lost in the harbor of Havana is estimated at
81, and that of Matanzas at "a. A number
of houses were overthrown. A large guam
tity of sugar was lost at Matanzas. and the
intelligence from sugar and coffee plan,a-
tions for 60 or 20 miles around Havana is
Of the most disastrous character. IL is sta
ted that a large number of plantations were
totally destroyed, together with large
amounts of their products.
The American ship EJro, which left
this port for Havre some weeks since, and
which was off the Island of Cuba at the
time of the hurricane, was wrecked at Sa-
ladopoint, and the crew and passengers were
alone saved.
The following important note is attached
in postscript TO the circular of Messrs.
