On what Calculations Ihtsir hopes are based, it will t-ettiain for the he'it "Congress to exhibit, fttit feelers are now throwh 0\it in hitherto Attti-pfotective regions, to see httW the proposition Will be received.

Let bs waft patiently to see if any of them will Vote for a restoration of its principles. We beiieVe, however, that the days of protective tariffs have passed away forever in this country, and that no other commercial country will much longer stultify itself by unneceskarily multiplying restrictions upon the free intercourse of her people with other nations. It is claimed to be wise, just and constitu * tlonal to protect labor by so legislating aR to enhance the value or certain of its products. What is the effect of this? Clearly to require ' a larger quantity of the products of labor not protected to buy the products of labor that is protected. What A. produces is enhanced in price hy the effect of legislation. Therefore, B. must pay, in the products of his labor, more for what A. produces than he would if the government had noi interfered. The protection given to A. therefore, is given by taking the money out of the pocket of B.?or what is the ' tame thing, it is taken out of his labor. Government cannot interfere between her citisent in this way without committing injustice. Aft that she has a right to do is to give all an ** equal chance. If B. prefers to take the pro ducts of his labor to C., in a foreign country, and bay of him, because C., producing the same articles as A. in this country, gives him a bet ter trade than A. will, he should have the right to make the exchange. Rut unjust as is the aystem to the great body of the people, it is '"peculiarly so to sections of the country which can derive from it no compensating benefit. There arc whole communities and States which would prosper under it, when, for the protection /if iltA ivs o mieaaiita an/I inloraclc nf iholr v* ?uv i iivuiui puioun^ awl ni?v? vo?o ? ? citixens, commerce would be lettered and the whole country laid under restrictions. But in the South, there is no labor that would be enhanced by it. There is no pnrsnit, the profits of which would be increased by a revival of the protective system. In Georgia, especially, the people ask no legislative protection, and , could be benefitted by none, unless it were protection against the manufacturing States of j the North. But it would be clearly unconsti j tutional to impose a protective tariff between i the trade of Savannah and Boston, and Lowell, < and Providence, and Philadelphia. The very ( welkin would ring with the iniquity if it were j constitutional and should be adopted. Yet if i protection is a good thing, why should not | Georgia, if it could do so, pass laws to exclude c all Northern made products of the loom and the r anvil, or levy such a tax as would immensely r enhance their price. If this would be wise s policy, and not an unjust interference with the rights of ber people to trade where they can e trade to greatest advantage, then why not carry i the system out, and enact restrictive laws to s restrain the intercourse between the seaboard \ and the mountains? Would it not be as wise s * to prevent the Cherokee people selling their n flour, their bacon and their beef to the cotton n planters of the midlands, and thus compel the r latter to raise these for themselves ? c 'The government'would be only acting in the ? spirit of this restrictive policy, were it to pass -a law laying a duty of 5, 10 or 20 dollars per (pound on Chinese Tea, in order to protect Mr. (> -Junius Smith's seven hundred tea plant.*, which tl 9m has recently imported with a view to grow tl ftkat luxury on Southern soil. tl If -people are let alone they will find out how c Ibest to employ their labor profitably. They will not need government foresight or advice p on the subject. All attempts to legislate thpm tl Soto prosperity and profitable employment, are it a tax and a burthen on the labor and the profits a of ten men where-it is a bounty to one. If the p government makes one man's labor more protfitable, or the products of his industry more y< costly, or enhances his wages by the effect of a: its legislation tor bis benefit, some one else has yi got to pay for it. Some one else ha* to pay a ir higher price for these things than they would h; 'have cost, but for this interference between the si transactions of mankind in the interchange of tc labor. The imposition of restrictions on trade ris a war upon commerce, and on every pursuit In wnicn is oenenuea ny an active competition a ?mong the markets of the world.

Important-Meeting of the Select Commitleof the Southern Convention?Their Views? Sub Committee Appointed, fyc. <5fc. The committee of one rtipmber from each slave State, appointed at the recent convention in the Senate Chamber of Southern members of the two Houses of Congress, yesterday morning had their first meeting. A very free intercourse of dpittion took plRcej and nmeh nnamity of feeling prevailed. Nothing was determined updh-, and after the appointment.of a sub Committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Calhoun, (chairman.) Clayton, Bayly . Morehead, and King, the committee adjourned to meet again hereafter. The vote taken, a few days 6ince, in the House of Representatives, on the proposition to lay on the table Mr. Stuart's proposition to reconsider Mr. Gott's resolution, was deemed a favorable indication by this committee of fifteen, * ft a/ /?t ..r M {oruy I wo oi wnom, wr. isiiapman, ui :?iiii>muu -gone home, and Mr. Cabell, of Florida?sick, were absent.) The House, by a considerable majority, refused to lay that motion on the table, and <hus gave an indication that they would probably pass the resolution. Its further consideration, however, was postponed to some day previous to the 15th January. When it shall again come tip, the determination ofthe House on the subject will perhaps he made manifest. In lhemeantimp.nbo.deveb-pments may be made ?? to the probable fate of Mr. Smith's bill fbr organizing a territo rial government in California. That bill contains the piineiple ofthe Wilmot Proviso. It will depend chiefly upon the indications offeeling in relation to this subject, and that embraced in Mr. Colt's resolution, which may be exhibited prior to the 15th of January, what course the Southern members may feel themselves called upon, at that time, to pursue I ? ~ 11 ! .??? stew) kflrfl Kv tKo Smith. I lir lllirni^rin r ici cnru utiv, em members, from their constituents, indicates deep feeling among the masses in this section of the Union. They still look forward with hope, that some plan may yet he devised to settle the present difficulties They have not yet been driven to the conclusion, that northern statesmen, representing northern feeling, wi.'l continue, at all hazards what the South consider a Northern course of aggression. Their apprehensions, however have hoen lately greatly excited. They have been brought to consider, seriously, what it becomes them to do. and they desire that the issue shall he made at once. The continued annoyance to their feelings, resulting from the constant agitation of the question of slavery, is to them, I ofall things, the most disagreeable. They desire to look the future in the face at once, and know their destiny; whether it shall he bright or dark. The impression begins to prevail here, that i better state of feeling in relation to this subject is about to manifest itself among northern men- If the evidence of this shall become dj. :ided before the 15 of January, lh?' southern members, at the meeting then to be held, will irohably conclude that it is best for therr to take to further action on the subject. They may towever, even in that case pass resolutions de rfaratory of their determination lo make oonr non cause against aggression upon their rights >n the subject of slavery, whenever an occasion hall arise. If. however, the hope alluded to above, that i better state of feeling is about to manifest tselfon the part of Northern representatives, hall he disappointed, the Southern members vill probably put forth an address to their contituents, showing to 'hem the precise nature ind extent of the aggression which have hern nade, and are still contemplated, upon their ights, and urging preparations for senerate, but oncerted, action, on the part of the Southern states. II. Newspaper Patronage.?In the language f a cotemporary, we have to say, that thi* liing calb-d newspaper patronage is a curious hing. It is composed of as many colors as tie rainbow, and is a3 changeable as the hameleon. One man subscribes for a newspaper, nnd ays for it in advance, goes home and reads it ie year round with the proud satisfaction that is his own. He hands in an advertisement? sks the price and pays for it. This is newsaper patronage. Another man says, "please put my name on our list of subscribers," and goes off without I s much as having said pay once. Ho asks I du to advertise, but he says nothing about pay. i ig lor it. Time passes?your panence is ex- < misted?and you dun him. He flies in a pas. i on and perhaps pays?perhaps not. This, ( >o, is newspaper patronage. j Another man has been a stibsciiber for a t rig time. He becomes tired ot'ynu, and wants change. Thinks he would like a Dollar j Weekly. Tells the po-tinaster to discontinue, j id one of his papers is returned to you mark- t I "refused." Paying for it is among the last ? ' his thoughts. a Besides be wants his dollar sent to the city \ iblisher. After n time you look over his ac- a mnt and send him the balance due. But does n s pay it cheerfully and freely ? We leave you e answer. Yet, this, too, is newspaper pa- 1 image. 1 Another man lives next you?never took * air paper?it is too small, (compared with me of tho overgrown and sickly sentimental liar weeklies,) it is too small, 1 don't like its ii litics?too Whiggixh?too Loco-fbcoish, or j< 0 something else. Yet he goes regularly to n 1 neighbor, and reads his by a good stove fire; tl ids fault with its contents; disputes its lead- rr s, and quarrels with its type, ink or color. t( icasionally sees an article that he likes; a .?
