TWe publish below, an article from the
Charleston Mercury. We had hoped to hear
nothing more of the subject matter after
the election Of Mr.. Polk, and we give j, to
our readers merely to show what is going on in
South Carolina, not intendingihereby 10 endorse
single sentiment therein contained. We hold
this Union ofpriceless value. And further. we
believe the democrats of the north arc as
oody' as much opposed to the protective poll
cy as we ourselves are, and we believe, tha,
as soon as il can be done, the President will
use oil his efforts TO modify the tariff act Of
1o42, and we further believe, the northern dem
ocrats will cooperate with him in this matter;
then whyth hot spirit as is manifested by the
South Carolina politicians.

The South State will not move "alone!"-

Union with homogeneous elements, is harmony
and power; but with heterogeneous natures. it is

truth-this great political axiom, be any longer

When the mind, the social mind, has settled
down into deep and stern purpose, after calm
reflection and long suffering, it will move in one
of two directions in defiance Of human opposi.

zion to exterior pressure. o., ronsing its inpate
vigor, It will ascend to the position of manly

"Adopt the nobler and manlier one!"
The day Of political temporizing in the South
is rapidly declining into the gloom Of popular
discomfort and disapprobation, and lefty senti-
ment open express, and direct opinion, pervade
the thinking community. The ifs and butts of
mere politicians are nav esteemed no better
than the explosives Of children mouthed by the
lips of manikins, to delude nnnies.
Il is high time to be candid. Walking
