A Truth FROM South CARoLINA. We
have'aways held that protection is of more
Importance to the agriculturaists than to an
other class of citizens, which the following
letter from South Carolina, published in the
Charleston Mercury, the Free Trade organ,
of the 25th ofJuly, fully admits and conclu-
siyely shows. Even in South Carolina, the
very hot bed ofthe anti Protectionists we find
that the fivorite policy ofthe country is avow-
ed by some, who have not allowed their bet
ter judgments to he clouded by Free Trade
D logmas and dangerous theories.
"BARNwELL DISTRICT, July Is.
aEvery body in this section is engaged in
suhduing the grass which has sprung up lux
uridmty during the late rains. Corn looks
badly, and cotton worse. There has been
good deGt ofsuffering this year, on account
of the scarcity in the provision crops, and
, fearthere will he more next. A purely ag-
ricultlral people, you see, will always lead
miserable existence. Ifthe crops are good
there is no one to purchase, and all they can
get is amere living. On the other hand, if
the crops fail, they all suffer together, because
they have no money to purchase from abroad.
Even the prospect for fruit, so fine a month n
gO,is likeIyto be cut off. The apples are fall
ing before they are ripe; peaches have but lit
lie favor. Melons of all kinds are compare
lively tasteless; and the grapes which prom
Ised SO we'll, are rotting by the bushel. Such
is our fate, and presume we must submit to
it, Had we less opposition to fair Tariff in
Carolina, and a little more diversity of labor,
we might be supplied with means when our
crops are short, to purch ase from abroad"
