In looking over your excellent paper, SO. SC
counts from all quarterl telling how they sre get
ting along with politics. Now ! am 10 writer on
this subject, nor any other, being plan hlrtwork-
ing man, but thought would just write line and
tell you now are getting on here seeing that
body else writes ahou, it from ,his qusrt=r. You
know this is q rank Loco. Foco region the reason
fer this plain enough-lhe People have nj got their
eyes open the fact is they STICK 10 par
" for party sake and not for principles. The Lo
coFocos here don't talk us they do in other parts
they say that the Wing iari;f OF IL passed bv
them, because the Wings could not have passed II
without OF their votes, and their speakers 20
about telling this story and induce many 10 believe
it. Why it's enough to make horse laugh 10 hear
Bdlack and Wright OF this County Try 10 prove rhis
IN their spes ches, and show how its operating
10 The good OF the Country, mud then Just turn
10 some Of their papers printed i'll your city that
offer 10 prove that il is operating just the other way
and is tee totally q Whig Measure. Ii they would
oHy talk here rs they DO in ZONE parts, the Wings
would beat them like snuff. for YOU this part OF
the country wants Protection, and we all know ii.
There Iron works and Coal works going on here
in a good many places. Before the Whig rurif was
passed, We had Two Iron furnaces in operation IN
tHis County part Of the time only, and small
large additions their works. and laid out good
many thousand dollars, and can make all kinds Of
Iron and Nails; they work all The time, and
send large quantities OF Iron and Nails 10 the city
markets, giving employ ment to a large number OF
hands, and pay them the cash regularly. II don't
make so much difference with the Coal Trade as
ii does with the Iron business, but ii no doubt
steGdes and strengthens that, and makes market
Tor good deal that would not be wanted but for ne
Tariff. The Farmers, Mechanics and Lobcrers all
feel The good effect 8! these works; the Mechanics
and Laborers find employmentin and about them,
and the Farmer sell his beef, pork, flour, &C.
readily and a, Il Gir price. Their Wool too Is
cash article, and brings about twice as much as !,
did two ears since Ii is plain enough that Tariff
is u great b. nef; 10 here. Both parties have had
meetings and pole-raisings in different places, tnd
the Wing speakers use strong arguments and facts
to prove who is in favor Of Protection, and who 0p-
posed to ii. The Loco-Focos on the other hand do
no, like 10 say much about The Tariff question, hut
tell their party that the Wings only make noise
about for politics effect that their party is in favor
o! Tariff as much as the Wings The greatest
part of their argument is TO abuse Henry Clay and
the Wing party, and brag about being in favor OF he
Laboring Glasses. This is the way politics rage
here lhs spirit of 10 ectuates the Nhigs, while
that of desperation aciuateS their opponents, and
Notwithstanding all their lying and Dragging, The
Wings will lessen the ojority on their side in No
senber next, so much TO make them open their
eyes. From true friend TO the cause. {. D.
