in which YOU will not find some halt dozen
persons from this State. The register
hook of every fashionable hotel that WIS
tied, exhibited large share OF names,
with South Carolina attached to them.
Nor are our people remarkable for their
economical habits, as the baI.keepers viii
inform YOU, that their wine bills exhibit
liberali;v even 10 wnstelulness. You may /
see them too, flying around cities, IN the
finest and most costly equipnges that mo-
ney can procure, and while a millionaire oil
New York is content to ride in an omnibus,
from Wall-street to the upper part OF Inc /
city, many of these persons, not worm Ten
thousand dollars, would be ashamed to be
seen in such vehicles. With tailors, mil.
liners, mantau.makers, &C.. these persons
are considered 10 have gold wiihou, mea-
sure, and il is perfec, windfaH for them
10 meet occasionally with one. You can
not step into furniture store, carpet ware
house, or dry goods establishment, where
fire silks aud laees are sold, without meet
ins persons from our State, making lavish
expenditures and purchasing thousands oil
arr cles Of wearing apparel, which are not
worn until they return home, where the
same articles can be obtained in the stores
of our own tradesmen, at cheaper rates
than those at which they were purchased
at the North.
At one Tailor's establishment, IN Boston,
| was informed by the proprietor, that his
sales for the last wear, to Charleston, alone,
amounted to upwards Of $4,000, and thus
year be expected they would reach ss0,-
coo. How much trade others in Boston
in the same business receive from Charles
ton, aud VIA, amount falls 10 the lol OF he
fashionable clolhiers Of New York and
Philadelphia, cannot be estimated, but there
is little doubt, that the amount would be
found quite sufficient to supper, three or
/ four fashionable establishments 10 our own
CITY.
Let South Carolina be true to herself,
let Der 20 to work with a determination 10
resis, the Northern tarifiiies, by resolving
not TO purchase or use their articles oi
manufacture. This will cure the evil, and

Legislative action. Limited rs our manu-
features arc in South Carolina, We can
now, more than supply the State with
Coarse Cotton Fabrics. Many Of tue fab.
RIGS now manufactured here are exported
TO New York, and, for aught know, find
their way TO the East Indies. We can
most assuredly make our own axe handles
raisa our own cabbages, beets, potatoes
and onions our boys, as IN oiden times
may be taught 10 make their own toy.wa
CONS and wheel. barrows, our wives and SIS
tiers can hem our hundkerchiefs and bake
our bread. Ii We continue in our present
habits, it would not be unreasonable TO pre-
diet, that when the Raleigh Railroad II
extended 10 Columbia, our members Of thu
Legislature will be fed on Yankee baker
bread. Pardon me FOR repeating the cal
