T'he Itattledlge P11amlalel. In this writer's calculations there is such great want of precision, that it is difficult to mlake out his meaning with any dtstinctness ; and nothing but the currency which his produe. tions has obtained, where the Imca.s .tro not at hand for ccunxttation, would have induced the attempt to disentangle his concepti.ons. The following is foun d in his patmpLlet, page 1: " Under the 30 per cent tari'! now , oCrtttion, our imports, or which S . :1'' thl'ng, our exports, adl. to the . i ' ermutnetnt an anto al revenlut: 'out 80 ,000~t,000f." And in the s:tme page a little lower down, the fllowing occurs Our A12,000,000 of exports wovdd as surely brit, a l _ I ,) - f 0O,of imp "4 .2a f -ual r h-ole be pufitl&T .ra r a ). as the bales f ccttoi sent to market iiv the planter returns to Liml their eti alent in nerchtatdize, &.e. lInir: the present tariff, thenl, we should1 have a revenue of about -. 0f0Lno." Now, as we have seen, he a:is es timated the Northern gain fron the tariff, with freight, commissions, ex. change, &c., otn Southern exp.tls and imports, at s5,000 1,00 an:a! ly. But in the above parigrah lie comiputes the annual tax oaid in2 South Carolina, ont acconit of the tariff, at .-1,000,000. Wuld lie then reduce the Not ther profit on our exports and imports, iwihling freights, &e., to only 1 ,(J0,m( le) when we have shown that the frci 4hts alone cannot attnoun t to Iess that $2,500,000 per ann miit. .lie has here so blended all thme sotrets ol Northern profit, real and itimginary, 1s to present Ito distitnet ideas on tte subject. We have already separated what ho .has exhibited in combtinationi, and treated each branch, height, exchange, mueeantile roelit, in a dis tinct form, with thte excepti.n ot the~ tariff. Since, htowever', Rutledge dwells much on thte tarii, we wi I say a few words on this subject. ft is otte of the mo~st diflicult of calculations, int the whoule range~ of this complicated investigation , to ar rive at the amtounmt of foreignx goods consumed in Southt Catolinta, as the basis of an estimnato of thte ainnuatl sum in duty shte pays utnder the Ilres ent tariff. Woe havye stuposed that $4 per- head round, as the muilel .of heor pop)ulation , would fu rnish the nearest approximiativye result. We fintd thtat thte last annual Tlreasury Report givcs an average for several years diownt to 1 850) of abouut ii,50 pet capita, for' the contsumpttion of for-eign goods, lby thme Ipeole of thle UJnited States. rThe aye: atge would D~e less in Sou tthtrolitna. 1.- Froam the amount, neatrly onte halfI, of our: afa:vO popuilat ion.- 2.tFrom the well known frugal habits of' our- peohl, polsumting uluch less of foreignt goods thtan thte people of Georg~ia or Ala bama. If the consutmpttin of South Carolina is estitmated at $-l per head, for mn, womtan , anrd child, it woubl give anl aggr-egate annuail consumlttp gjon of a little Leyond $2 ,000,000. -This is thought by practical iruen to be an over-estimate. But we have taken as bigh an avermage for con.* Sutmp tion, per capita, as will give at lamrgeo latitude to the side of theo ques (onI whlicht Ruttledlge hats espoused. The result, deductintg thitfre goods denungd, pyenontedhitr(d and one Lalft of' tly4 whole ampout, wou d give a value of dutiable foreign goods annually consumed in South Caroli na of not above $1,500,000, which under a duty of 230 per cent, would make the annual contribution of this State to the Treasury of the Union, on account of the Tarill, $d50,000 per annum. Rutledge makes the aunount $-,000,000. IBut as this writer may allege that he does not included the tax paid by South Carolina into the hands of the ruanuliacturer, f1rum increased prices, as the result of his inonopoly, a very few reinarks will show that there is, in reality, no addition to the tax on this account. lroin consultations with practiel men largely .iigaged in the wholesale trade, we finl that three-lifths of the dry goods sold 1 6r Southern consumption are of dwnes tic inan ufactumre, amid 4of a class of fabrics wt hicl could not be inIerted unless with loss, if the duty were en. tirely removed, which on coarse woollens and cheap prieed cottons, has ulng since ceased to be 'otec tive. Of the other two fifths of ii ported dry goods, they constitute a descrilption which are not fabricated in the United States. I1 we even ad mit that three fifths of the wh''le een. sulmption' we pay an eiii nced 1p1'rice Oil articles, s ll tIosetI to b i 1 rotect ed, Cquivalenit to the diuty. : 10lr cent, wh'1ich i5 imiies sile, W ith 1 thi w li titn the i:nluted hui dl enl of the t:-1fl', l.aid in all formes, will nut exceed one thi rd cf the snt e:iihateI b , 1 hit l:'le.

If lny countrymen desiro a victim because of the Fearless expression of opinion, I ain ready for the sacrifice; but let me say once for all, that the cold neglect of former friends, nor the taunts of enemies shall ever kindle in my bosom, any feeling not in unison with the interests, the hon or and the glory of my beloved Car olina.

I hear a gentleman say, do your duty -asHtnd'ny that it is the duty of So3uth Carolina to secede alone, and leave the consegqunces to God. If I could be satisfied that it was the duty of South Carolina to secede alone, theni I inight subscribe to the senti ment, but failing to perceive the slightest reason for such a course, I will take the liberty of discussiing some of the results of practical se eession, by looking to consequences which will inevitably follew in its wake. I concur very generally in the views which have been presented to the Coinvention this Inorning, by your able, gifted and patriotic Senator, (Judge Butler) and I feel perfectly satisfied that the interests and chiva rv of Carolina will siffe1r 110 letri Sunt in the uiniionis 1 may hold, when they are sustained by such a man; oie twhose whole life, and the lives of whose finnily have been sput in building uip and adorning the well-are uf his native State.

The conulnerecc of ('har lesto i n ust languish nd perish, for twothirds of all thme gootds sold now in this city go into other States. That trade is completely cut off, for the inducement to purcbiase in Charleston is entirely gone. But sotne are ready to.say that Georgia and Alabama woufld beccmo dissat isfied with it, and finding that gpods could be purchased cheaper in Charleston than New York, they would not submit to the restriction. My reply is this. The cornmercial interests of Savannah and Augusta would be delighted to destroy so f'ormidable a rival as Charleston, and they would sustain every restriction imposed upon our trade to the ut most of tlir ability. Bat another answer is still more conclusive. If the fact of an ability to purchase goods in Charleston at a lower rate would dissatisfy them, and make them unwilling to pay the duty, why is it that they are not now dissatisfi ed with the revenue laws of the Uni ted States, and arm to resist them, when they can buy goods in Liver. pool Manchester or in Biriningham, twenty six per cent cheaper than in New-York or Charleston? If the Federal Government would impose no tariff, these Georgia and Ala h:na inerelanits could buy and sell _0 per cent cheaper than they do. Still they subnait to pay 2G per cent more now than they could otherwiiso buy at. Yet the induce ient of getting them 20 per cent lower in Charleston than in New York, after the secession of South. Carulina, is to dissatisfy them, and they are to raise the standard of re lic hunti neaiist the Governnent. They w ili cheerfully submit to a loss of :t; per ctt, but w ill fight to the death befoure they will subtit to a loss of 16 per eunt. I low isiunary is the hope, .hen, that you can save the ceinmerce itf Charleston inwei decay altd 'utn. Anzid here let us rena rk that it is a mistake to suppose that Charleston alone will sucher.
