A TRUTH FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.

We have always held that protection is of more
importance 10 the agricuturists than 10 any other
class Of citizens, which the following letter from
South Carolina, published in the Charleston Her-
curry, the Free-Trade organ, Of the 10Th Of July,
fully admits and conclnsively shows. Even in
South Carolina, the very hot-bed of the anti-Pro-
tectionists, find that the favorie policy Of the
country is ayowed by some, who have not allowed
their better judgments TO be clouded by free-trade
dogmas and dangerous theories.-Vhig.
