SoUTH C1RoLINA.7-On the 27th ,ult.,, Gov.
Spabrook of South Carolina, Transmitted his annual
message to the Legislature, now IN session. 1t
treats at some length on the subject of the relations
Of, the Federal Government towards the Slave
States, particularly in reference to the subject of
slavery in the Territories. He does not argue the
topic, but states that the enactment of any Of
the contemplated measures of hostility towards the
South-the Wilmot Proviso, or any kindred mea-
sure" would probably, if not certainly, result iii
severing the Union. The specific mode Of action,
he says time will alone develope but the honor of
the Commonwealth of the South is "irrevocably
pledged" to arrest the career of Federal insrue -
OF the preparatory measures to concentrate and
prepare for full action he considers the project ola
Southern Convention as preferable, where there
exists "a reasonable certainty of its assembling an
der sufficient guarantees for unity and harmonious
action lie accordingly halls with satisfaction the
Mississippi proposition for "a CoRue1ti0A Of the
People Of the Southern Stdfss,p and recommend,
in order to second and further that project that The
Governor be empowered, by special statute, to con
woke the Legislature, or to issue orders for specia
election for Convention of the people, should tn
Wilmot Proviso " or any similar measure affecting
the South, receive the formal enactment Of Con
| gress." He asks moreover, for special Legislation
to prevent the circulation within the State Of anti
slavery publications. making II an offence punisha
bic by definite and severe penalties.

6 Soon after the induction of the present Cabinet
we discovered that Mr. Brega occupied high po-

Inrrease of Revennr.

The Washington correspondent Of the Philadel-.
phia North American says that the disclosure Of
anticipated deficiency in the Treasury win pre-
sent an q" additional and urgent reason for the inn
mediate modification Of the existing tariff and an
tcipates thereby renewal Of protective duties for
-the.beneft Of the manufacturers.
But there is at least equal rsk that Congress
may seek for increased revenue in diminished .du-
ties. The protectiQnists would BE sadly shwqrted
in their calculations ll il should be decided as Il is
not unlikely to be- that the increase Of imports
caused by a essening Of the taxes on importation
would be asuser way Of Obtaining larger revenue
than the increase Of duties, to be necessarily follow
ed by diminished imports. Legislating for reye.
nue the choice will be between these two plans
and, taking the reasoning of the protecdonists in
their own case as our guide the revenue,is more
likely to be improved by lessening than by inereas-
ing duties Protection indeed, is in its nature ad
verse to revenue It asks an artificial increase Of
price which shah exclude the foreign article, which
pays duties to tie government and supply its place
with the domestic article, which pays no duties
Sc lar as IT issuccessful It diminishes the objects
Of taxation. The increased rate upon the lessened
number seldom, probably never, fully makes up the
deficiency. On the contrary, il is Recognized fact
that, in general reduction Of taxation on imports
increases the aggregate,amouht OF receipts by in
creasihg, in greater proportions, the Articles from
which it is raised.
All duties do, by necessity protect the domestic
article corresponding to the foreign article taxed.
Revenue from customs is, therefore, protection to
chat unavoidable extent, and must be given in all
tariffs But when the question is, of raising or les
| senng the rates, with view Of augmenting the

1t will be seen from the above that meat
is not the most nutritious food, as is generally
supposed. The laboring man often thinks
he cannot perform days work without
meat; but the fact is that it is not half as nu.
,ritious as wheat, corn, rye, or beans. Meat
is more stimulating than vegetables, and does
not maintain so true an equilibrium in the
system. Uniformity in our feelings and habits
is desirable-that is we should be constant
ly in good health and spirits. 1t seems,
therefore, that meat is not favorable TO this
stale, and should be gradually dispensed
with.
That will be coceded TO be the best food
which supplies the greatest amount of nutri-
ton with the least effort of the digestive or.
gans. To determine this, we will give the
results of a long course of experiment which
DR.. Beaumont conducted with soldier who
had been wounded, and the wound so
healed as to leave an opening into the sto-
mach through which the operation of diges-
ton could be observed.
