POLITICAL 1AOVEMENTS.
John C. Calhoun.-The Alabama Tri
hune. as bas been stated in our prospectus,
is established for the purpose of recom
mending John C. Calbona to the Presi
dency. The L(tDocratic party of the
South has watched his growth in public
favor with no little satisfaction, for his po
litical lire has been a series or struggles ihr
the maintenance of popular rights. .the re
ariction of Goveromemet action within is
proper limits, the preservation of the rights
of the States in their original frce, and
the inculcation of those doctrines which
have atiall times formed the peculiar fea
ture. of the Republican faith, as contra
distinguisbed from those of its old antago
nist. Federalism.
Mr. Calboun's earnestjo-opertiton with
the Democratic party. for years past-the
self-sacrificing spirit with which he came
to the support of the leading measure of
the late Administration, at the called sea
sion of 1837, by which he lost his elevated
poition in the rauksof the oppositon, have
- eled the breach which separated him
from some of his Reputlican friends du
ring the Nulliicatim et. anal have won
for him the admiration n' Democracy.
lie is now the nckuowleiedcii lender of our
party, the enbodiment of Democratic prin

interests, was never more sinnily dialal4y
ed than in the act to which we have al
ready adverted. In corming to the nidl of
an administration, the signs of whose de
cay and diqwslution were appanrenft to every
one, he land unothiin to Pin nad every
thing to lose. IHis en-inetit ialenis active
opposititu to some of the measures of the

mies, and had he chosen to take advan
taga of that crisie. in all prohabilitv he
could have commanded any otice in their
possession His inlelentlence on thai
question threw him iuto a new and strange
attitude. changing his asaneiatins, provo
king the savnge and vindictive abuse of
his late colleagues, and forcing ai. itnto
the support of an Executive to whom he
had been for years personally and political
ly hostile. These things might well have

his propriety, but tbey (moved une the

ot any concert. popular assemblages, ita
different sections of the country, have with
singular eitusiasm d-mandted his nomitn
ation. Thescecircutmstancs argue well
for the general virite atnd itealligence.
They show that thec people are wreary raf
bein[: guided and contrdledl by mere poli
ticians-men who have greattness thrust
upon them by cliques, and who moare ito
power by caucus machaine-ry. We have
been too bong. inadeedl, both in otir State
anal Federal Government. managead by in
trigue. It is too trne that the "pipe-lay
ing system" shoull lae abanadonedl; and we
thank Heaven that thec people themselves
are fast aw-akening to thue necessity of ap
plying a corrective. We nteed some one
at our head who stands aloof from all "cli
qutes"-who has nautght to do with "miid
tnight eaueuses"-who. is Independent of
all mere party tranmels, and whtoie nomn
iaion must caime, not from the dicta of a
few self-styled leaders and wire pullers,
but from the just appreciation of his prin
ellales and motives, by the great body of
his fellow citizens.
Such a man is John C. Calhoun-a man
of elevated thoughts and noble impulses
a pa triot in the fullest and binadtaest sense
a Statesman, the lustre of whose talents
has shed glory over onrecommon country
-whose eniarged wisdom and ripe juadg
ment-whose astute intelteca-wvhose ex
traordinary political sagacity-whose en
tire freedom from the influence of selfish
consideration-whose intimate and tho
rough knowledge of our form of Govern
ment place him above all the great men
of our coantry, and rank him among the
first spirits of the age. The brighatness of
his fame looms up broadly and undimmed
through the clotuds and storms of calumny
by which he has been surrounded. The
puuilyaf his private lire has received no
touach or stain in any or the fierce confliets
through wbich be has passed, and we be
trusts. lie is indeed, in all things. worthy!
of directing the energies of this great peC
ple.
Place him in the Presidency, and we
have a Chief Magistrate wl.se paternal
eye will embrace the whole country in its
scope, and each pulsation of whose heart
will he for the common weal. Armed J
with that true dignity which is the ollispring1
or an earnest nature and a pure morality,
he will "wear Iis honors proudly. yet
meekly." and under his auspices our un
tional character will be elevated at home
and abroad. The influence ofhis own ex
alted nature will be felt by his countrymen,
giving tbern a renewed sense or moral
worth and nobler rules for individual gui
dance.
Fram he MIverpool Times. Sept. 20.
Tae TaRATT-The satisfacIion produ
ced by the sews of Lord Ashhurtou's treaty
has been greatly diminisied by the intelli
gence that Congress and President Tyler
have passed a tariff of duties on imports.
many of which will prove most oppressive
if not destructive, to the trade of England.
This is precisely the result which was au
ticipated and predicted as sure to follow,
from the obs4tinate refusal of Sir Rtbert
Peel's Administration to admit American
when: tnl flotir on sich terms as would
have given the whent-growing States the
same interest in resisting high duties on
Britrihgoods as the cotton growing States
now have. The representatives of the
latter have been out-voted by a combina
tion of hostile members. of whom a few
have been rendered hostile by their interest
in American mnIopilis. but the greater
part boy their disgnst at British exclusions.
Our legislature has isnposed a duty which
is intenided to he prohibitory. except in
vears of scarcity, on the only description
of produce with which tle western and
northern State can supply us. and can we
then wonder that they should have retal
iated by imposing heavy dui*s on our
1 n-1.4? It is to little purpose indeed that
the Government sent negociatiesri to ar
range treaties or peace when it has thus
thrown away int commercial freedom
Ihieb is th.- greatest of all the advantages
which pence can give, and the only secn
ristv Ior iti coanttinsance.
Tur Nriw AYt.nicis Tuiarr.-The
new Auerican Taritris a great blow to
the already droopin: trade and conmmerce
of this country, and nill prove a fatal one
to several branches of industry, if it should
continue in force for any length of time.
The new rates of duty. which are consid
ed ettal ott the average to an ad valorem
ditty of 35 per cent. on manufactured
gotds, are much more than can be borne.
especislly in the present state of trade, and
there are many of the duties. sueh as those
on woollens anti iron, w hich are much
higher than that. Out of the excess of evil
gool will cotre in this case, for such a
measure aa this must eithsr fail as a mean
of raising revenue, by destinying trade, or
must fail both as an instrumeut of protec
ion aud as asource of revenue, by throw
ing srrae into tie hands of smugglers.
There is evcry reason to believe that
many parts of it will work ve ill, and
which has carried it, 10y majorities of one
and two, will be in a minority in the next
Congress, all that is necessary is, that the
frtcnds of free trade in this country should
contine to press their own Government
for such a chatnge in the duties on Ameri
ican grain and flotar. as will give those who
are about to come into power, both an ex
cuse and a reason for mitigating thme pre
sure of the new duties. AMany of them
must be dimitnished, or the trade het ween

SA LIDA COTTON BAGGING.
The new enterprise of the Factoary in
this neighborhood, is worthay the attention
of the sonith. The great increase in the
prodctio~n of the staple of the pliaters,
renders it desirabttlo to add to the consutmp
ian of the raw material, and the Saluda
Cmpany has embarked in she manufac
ture of Bagging ousof Cottoni as one aode
of aiding this uh.ject. If the whole crop
of the Sonathern States nere pocked i
this material, estimating the crop. at l,800,
000J bags, it would rceire 90.000~.J yards.
and thuis quantisy, weighin2 14 lis. toa the
yard~woumld consume 13,500,000 lbs, of Cut
ton, or 38,577 hales, "weighming an average"
of 350 lbs. This at 8 cents pcr pound,
would yield S .080, 156-moore thtan a tmil!
ion of dollars !
Is this not worth the attention of plan
ters ! Will they not encourage the con
sumption of Cotton by using this imtpor
t at fabric ? Sitrely they will. Already
are the sellers of Iiemp Unmegin;; alarmed
at its success, and in vain are they diecry
ing she Saludla Bagging in all quarters.
A large house ini Charlestonm brought up
an immiense stock of flemp Bagging, in'
anticipation of the Trarifr, and the plan
ters would have been taxed with an ad
vance in price, had no, the Suluda Com
pany put out their stock of l agging, a hich
has thwauted this plan. For this. they
desire the thanks of Cotton Planters.
An efFort was now umade to alarm the
planters int the upper country by reporting
that Cottoin was refused in Charleston by
buyers. when packed in Cotton Bagging.
Letters from the principal factors in Char
leson have proved the falsiiy of this uti
generous report.
It was then rumored that the Cotton
Baging was too light-that tihe planter
would lose in the weight of his bale, if he
used it. This is ridiculous, for it is well
known that foreign buyers always allow
for the bagging in their purchase, as it 15
removed, weighed and deducted from the
weight of tbe bale in the foreign market
that it is aetually the interest of plan
ters to use the lightest material if strong
enough.
The interest of sellers of Bagging have
induced the illiberal course of attempting
to itjure the introduction of this fabric, but
it will not avail. The extensive and wide
spread interests of the planters, will sur
mount the local initeresta of the few who
ar concerned ln this warfare, and give
the enterprise tha; ic policy
and patriotism boths
It is idle to atemp he article
by speaking agaisti on expo
p'osure. Every reflei wS that

Ma. ErDTUa:-Let me commend to
your notice an article in the last Southern
Planter. over the signature of "Dorothy
Dumplins." It is a graphic and truthful
description of an harvest occasion, when
% iisk y or other intoxicating drink was the
con mon beverage of the day. Although
not a member of any Temperance Sncie
ty, yet I profess to be- the friend of tem
perance. and to give my countenance and
encouragement to the good cause by set
ting the benefit of my inflezable example
of sobricti tmefore the community of which
I am a member. In the absence of less
interesting muatter, let me ask you to pub
lish this and the article from the Southern
Plauter, with the caption 'harvest Dink.'

IIARVEST DRINK.
Messrs. Editors,-In former times, my
hu-Dand (Jotnsni Dampling) and all our
neighbors. used to ihink there was no get
iu;; through harvest without driaking
whiskey. Three black bottles a day, he
and his handi tsted to drink; four or five
cutters there were. and as many tyers.
'hey drank an amazing quantity of Wa
ter too: it kept a stout lad of fifteea con
stantly agning with a pail on bis head.
'wes the teatrr that always hurt them
when they were bun. They would often
have at cramp in the stomach. and drop
stov n in the hot asun. as if dead, after drink
ing so muct, : and then. the whiskey al
1 ways recovered them, The whiskey nev
er r ide them full: no. mo, it gave them
new streigth and briskness. To'he sure,
other bad accidents did sometimes happen.
Crade s and blades got broken. Ugly cut
the mowers would give in pashinIota k@
the rows from one another. sarre a
rose of evengs; and .dw -
folks At. A .
'e .l -
eradlers were i n'do
ilmost a week before tief'could 101 do
any other work. .
'l'hte change now is a wonder to.every
bocdy. For three years, Jotn's hands or
himself have had no whiskey at any kind
oft woerk. Well you would laugh to see
how dii-'rent harvest is from what it used
to~ be. The folks don't drink a foeurth part
of' Le water : a small one of the drap-shot
gaing brings a plenty for them, besides
sth.cking after two good tyers. No had
neci.ls'nts sceem to happen. Nobody has
eram;. in l he stomach, or falls down with
the heat, as if dead. No broken cradles,
er tblades-nio ugly cute-no quarrel., or
hightis. Then. after harvest, the people
,re all as frcbh, aud ready foir other work,
:i- if th.-y had ontly been planting peas, or
pumllinig (udder. And the wheat is so much
tcli--r cut, and. cleaner got up. that my old
ma sas h crope turns him out a fou'rth
moretha it sedso.Captineg Jonesan
.\laior Cratne, andi at least doazen besides
ire icir ne ihorhooed, all do like John, and
a the 'same. The Capeing and he said
thi.' mhler da~y. that two hundred farmers
in .lhwearle went through last harvest
wahtouctt anty intioxicating drink. Wlhat
,:ev ga'.e their heandls was buttermilk, or
mitii-,e' antd water with a touch of vine
oer. or pelain water.
A leappey change il is. Messrs. Editor,
te, mue. I atm a happy wife now. John
neever cehs honme from court cross and
ae~ggerintg. lie does nt go security for
anyi 6,ly unless it is perfectly saf'e; nev
er gatmes, or fights, or falls oif his horse.
'[he children rnan to meet him, not at all
a fruidl. A nd I leave not dreamt that I was
s leeping with a whiskey barrel these two
vears. We are all cleverly dressed: the
'winedows are glazed. the door hung on
goodci hinges ; the fences atd farm all in
neat order ; very, very different from old
runes Andl the little Dumplings! It

Fir rosy cheeks anti healthy, full she pd

*I don wish, gentlemen. you would tell all
theL fatrmers and planters who read your
p jnper, that thee main point in farming is to
tke 'he pledlge, like my husband and
ne.iglitora At least, any person would
say so, judlging by the alteration in their
hi~us'e and land<l', and wives and children,
*sitnce they took the pledge.
