The "CHARLEsToN MERCURY" day by day,
shows most reasonable spirit towards the Cen
eral Government. 1t revives the subject of the
correspondence between Mr.. MATHEWS, the British
Consul, and the Governor Of the State, touching the
restrictions imposed on colored seamen employ
ed on board Of foreign vessels arriving in that
State. 1t declares in substance that the State was
willing to do for England, through direct applica-
ton Of the British Government, what it would not
do by an appeal through the Government at Wash
ington! There is unquestonably design on the
part Of the Nullifers to strengthen themselves, if
possible, by foreign alliance, just as there is on
the part of the Abolitioniss of the North to invoke
aid from Europe in order to break up the Union.
