There is a whole volume of sou-d, practical
sense in the comments Of the SaraHnah RePn6-
iran upon the extract OF Judge HrcEE's speech
BIZ which they are preceded

The above is extracted from the C0u'eT'S re-
wort of the recent speech Of Senator HuGER 10
ioe Citizens of Charleston. We copy II not only
boc,use il hrea,hes Tie true American spir!', but
because the remark contains more oil souna ana
st,tesmanIke sense than any which We have re-
Gently seen from the South Carolina opponents
nf the Tariff. The course suggested by 'he
Honorable Senator, is precisely tho ore adopted
,r;th such success by the people Of New log
land when the Tariff of lSl6 forced upon
,be., hv Mr. [ Al.HoUN and MS friends OF South
I Carolina They did not spend whole years IN
useless winnings and complainiDgs about the op-
nrc,sions of tne South. Like good patriots and
f,,,bful citizens, they did not call conventions
and threaten TO dissolve the Union, or nu!liiy.
They went TO work like men, TO adopt their puF,
suits 10 the policy which had been deie'mihee
upon by the properly constituted authorities,
Like good Democrats, they submitted 10 the VIII
OF the maiority-.cli the ocean ana took 10 thc
soiudlc Have they suffered by Tie result either
| in their industrial or commercial interests Their
commerce has increased tentold because 1t was
based on their manuactures-whlc Stale anu
individual prosperity unparalleled has heen
the result. And now the South IS CRYING
;or rcl,ef from the very system originally
entai!cd by her upon that country. Would
it be wise, would it be proper, IN the man
ufscturing States 10 yield Il policy so man!!cStiy
beneficial to TIC whole people Is 1t lair IN the
people OF any portion OF the Sou'h to attempt such
coercion? Judge HuGER is right. Such empty
hluster,ups as those of the Dlsunionsts are uu-
worthy of a people who profess to admire the W.
| tues and revere the character of WASHINGTON
The remedy is in their own hands. II the manu-
featuring business is a moropoly--if lis so pro-
6tabc ana leads to such lordly wealth, as Mr.
McDuFrlE thinks it does, let the Southern people
On al once into the business. Let the planter,
worth fifty or one hundred thousand dollars. d.
vert half of his capital from the soil and invest II
| IN manufactures. Let the immense water power
of our interior and mountain regions tc turned 10
profit. Let US enjoy the benefits OF this protec-
tion Let us furnish our own poor with employ
ment
Surely we can erect mills and manufacture
cotton goods Us well as the North. The difference
IN The rates OF wages and subsistence cannot be
much greater than the costs and charges OF ship
ping the raw material to the North, and the re-
transportation Of the manufactured goods and their
sale to tho Southern planters. The experiments
recently made in North and South Carolina and
Georgia have been entirely successful. In every
case where the mills have been managed with
prudence and energy, they have paid handsome
per cent on the investment Especially has this
oecn the case under the operations of the present
Carif' The effect of the establishment OF manu-
factories i'll the interior OF the Southern States,
would be most happy upon the agricultural lnte-
rests by giving 10 the farmers an increased mar
kct for their products, and by Withdrawing a
portion of our people from the cultivation oi the
soil
The advice of Judge HUGER is therefore full oi
wisdom, and worthy of being followed by the
