From a Correspondent Of the Rich. Eng.
South Caroliaa's Debt of Gratitude to the
Great Pac6cafor!
"lperceive from the Enquirer of Tues.
day last, that the Richmond Wing is en-.
deavorIng TO impress on the public mind
the belief, that Mr.. Clay made n volunta.
ry concession to the South, in his advoca-
cy OF the Compromise bill, with the single
view Of preserving the Union. Not hav.
ing seen the article in the 'Whg,' DO not
know whether tho Editors have ventured
TO endorse the miserabl buGoonery of
Messrs. Clay and Clayton, in relation to
the same subject. THeir statements have
been answered on the floor of the Senate /;
and the wrctched trash which they have
vcntured to publish in the newspapers,
will excite no other emotion than that Of
contempt.
In regard, however, to the course Of Mr..
Clay, 10 relation to the compromise, feel
myself warranted in stating fact or two,
which will enable the public 10 appreci.
ate his views and motives.
You will remember that during the ses-
sion of Congress, previous to the ordi.
nance Of Notification, Mr.. McDunie sub
mitted his proposition for a reduction Of
duties 10 the revenue standard.--Thi
proposition contemplated fifteen years-at
the termination of which, the duties were
TO be finally adjusted on the scale suhse.
quently adopted by the Compromise Bill.
1t was more advantageous 10 the manu-.
facturers, by at least six years, than the
concessions subsequently, agreed on in
this latter bill.
This proposition was submitted bv
General IIayne 10 Mr.. Clay, and after a
long and earnest consultation, Mr.. Clay
emphatically declared. that she ,could see
the Union dissolrcd in blood before he
wOuld rOte for IT,"
This was before the ordinance OF multi

Characteristic bravado) TO force South
Carolina from her position. Failing, how
ever, in this, at the next session he agreed
TO take the reduction, running through the
term of only nine years-and for reasons,
as be himself admitted in his speech, that
the domestic manufacturers would not re-
1uire protection beyond that period. His
tale now, endorsed by Mr.. Clayton, like
bis conduct, is altogether different.
The truth is, Mr.. Clay saw that he must

TIE WIGS AFTER ELECTION

The democrats have celebrated their
victory by the discharge Of cannon, by bon.
fires Nominations and general congratua,
tons. Their opponents celebrate the is
sue Of the conflict on their side by a gene
raj discharge of workmen, (the opposite
Of fen dc jOie,) and by industrious and
concerted to cast gloom and darkness over
every business interest, and to produce pa
mic and revulsion.
With hardly an exception, the whole
whig press Of this State have Joined in
their eudeavor TO weaken confidence, inn
pair credit, and unsettle values. They
have done this, not from motives OF in,e-
rest, for they can hardly hope to reap ad-
vantages four years hence, from a panic
so early commenced, but from feeling OF
revenge. They would cause that depres.
sion in prices, infict those wide disasters
in business of which they speak, because
in truth, the sound stable interests of the
country have been their greatest enemies.
They would avenge themselves against
the great producing interests of the State,
and of the Union which they feel has been
arrayed against them.
The hypocrisy which such an effort ez-
hibits, on the part Of those who claimed to
have no higher desire than to benefit the
general interests Of the country, is howev-
er exceeded by the course Of the same
men in regard to laborers at wages. The
New York Tribune, the Troy Wing, and
the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, three
wing papers at extreme points of the State.
have recommended the discharge Of demo
cratic workmen by whig employers, and
in this they have been joined by a large
majority Of their party associates. In
deed, the pretended revulsion of business,
which they are endeavoring to prove has
already taken place, four months in adj
vance Of President Folks inauguration,
and more then a year before the session of
the Congress elected with him, is intended
to furnish preience to employers, and
prepare the way for the great whig salute, J

1t must have required all the logic OF the

intended to embrace all classes OF busl-
ness. Nothing bat those particular views

fabric Of protection is raised, could have
induced the wing min rily to attempt the
prescription Of their opponents. The de.
mocratic party is in popular minority OF
about one hundred thousand in the Union;
OF course ,hore are hundred thousand
more customers in the democratic party
than among the wings. Tie latter party
are determined since The election to cut oil

of wealth. The effect OF This will he TO
throw vast number Of these people, who
have no time to mix politics with trade, in
to the ranks of the majority, who, II IS IN
derstOod will sell to all men without first
questioning them as to their politics, and
will buy with a single eye to a good bar
gain. Thus gradually the limits Of the
whig party will be narrowed, am all the
