Opinion at tho South.
We clip the following from the Augusta Ga

mon. ssnse doctrine is becoming very usual at the
South, where it was once eschcwed as rank
poison

Now let us look at the above for moment
In one breath VIC are told by the Free Traders
that the present Tariff is OF oppression upon
the consumer-that he is made To pay price
for all home made articles he uses, Just as much
higher as is the duty LAID on the iOrelgn-made
article and yet here is this Free Trade CORES
pondeut of Free Trade journal declaring that
the prices of the Hattre article are likely 10 get
down so low, by means of the home competition
and over-producuon, that manufacturers will
find it hard to live! Now, if this should be the
casc how would the consumer be injured .
9" The prices are as low everywhere IN the
West as they are in New York" Aha say
you SO Truly, then, the people of the West
must be greatly injured by the TaIlii!
" But where are the manufacturers 10 find a
home market for their greatly accommodating
stoo ks 20 asks this writer. Would they find d
better one, il all Europe was allowed to thrust her
manufactures upon US, under low duty And
how would the consumer be benefited If he had
TO send of his cash to these foreign countries, to
nav off the balance of trade against US, at the
same tune that the tar gathcrcr was sent to the
farmers door to collect the money necessary 10
pay the expenses Of the govcrnment-and while
the home competitor, too, Is driven out OF the
market!
But again, says he" Foreign markets are be-
ing cut off by the effect of the Tariff in raising
the cost Of production at homei" On, most sa-
picnt Daniel. would that thy wisdom would
point out how this can be. But how does this
tally with the fact, that large cargoes of Ameri-
can Manufactures are constantly shipped from
Manufacturing States to foreign markets.
| But, again-how would this Free Trade rea-
soner benefit the Manufacturer, and put check
| upon that increase of competition" by which
" the country is glutted with goods, and stocks
| accumulate al their mills ," Oh, very simply
Just reduce the Tariff, and let ship load upon
ship load of foreign Manufactures be brought IN !.
and aid fhe Joreignr still farther by establishing
warehouses, SO that he need not pay his duties
until he finds customer to pay them for HIM
Surely this lcould prevent an accumulation OF
stocks in American mills, and do away with
home competitian, with a vengeance but how II
would make an increased home market, or foreign
market, for American Manufactures, passes our
understanding No. can see any clearer, how
destruction of this cheapening home competi.
ton would benefit the buyer!
But, reader, in this brief extract from the ESSAY
of free trader, you have complete refutauon
of all The declarations oi that party, that Tariff,
calculated TO foster Home Industry, makes the
consumer pay a higher price for The articles nc
uses. Competition does bring dozen the prices OF
the manufactured article; and /: the Tautf Is
continued, this competition ,ciH be eRiarged.-
Herein lies the secret that brings down The price
of goods for the people of Missouri-and no, only
o; Missouri, but of the whole Union. Iheort
can never do away with this fact.

| u We believe the truth TO be that this Pen
sion bill, with many other excellent and necessa.
~ measures, was lost by the resolution adopted by
a small band of Loco. Foco rowdes in the House
10 crush the Banks of the District of Columbia al
any cost. If they had had Hower 10 do this BY
fair voting, very well but they knew they hat
not, in House nearly two to one of thciE OWL
party, and so ,hev resolved 70 accomplish iheil
end by wiliuIr wasting the last night OF the Scs
sion in calls of the House, motions to ADJOURN
call Of the Yess and Nays, &c. This game the,
kcp! up til they convinced the peaceable Mem
bcrs that either the District Banks bill must bt
given up or they would ki every thing else re
,naining 10 be passed, and they did kill nearly
every thing. About thirty highbinders did al
this National mischief IN order TO defeat single
measure oflocal ard harmless character. II the

who wrought this suffering. We believe Psgs
