From the 'l'harleqton F~inini .ww.
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:

And in the s:tme page a little lower
down, the fllowing occurs

Now, as we have seen, he a:is es

here so blended all thme sotrets ol

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

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

ported dry goods, they constitute a
descrilption which are not fabricated
in the United States. I1 we even ad

I am sure that I shall not into a

I must be permitted to say, that the
ordinance of secession to be passed
by the Convention when it meets, is
thenYorizon of their prospects. 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

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
