I llow-citisens were I f In the reply which ooe extreme df the >ur vok-e has Already devolutions expressed 'mistaken. .A? for myself, ? bmcasuit: more Iraught with permanent mischief and ruin to the plvntntion than the tariff. It b not ?imply to ux w to support our northern tvettMvbM H b also to destroy all out' ineaiw to acquire the ability Co pay thoae la these states there are but two in chcriah and support each b AfRICULTUKAL; the other COMMERCIAL. Within the 4?e?ory of nun, and the record* ot history, tio other interests than these ever grew up in our country, and for a century at least to coif, H b not hassrdlng too much to aasert, that no other can exist In 8<?th-Carnltua. In thb respect, we not only differ aa to inter' A/ from the northern Mates, but we differ from ever/ state and kingdom In Europe. The cause of the difference is obvious. In those countries the great produce of the soil b bread stuffs; the population it dense; the soil b cultivated bv whites; la bour is more or less cheap; and each being likely to raise in abundance, those article* which the others need not, cause* ah anxie ty in all to seek amongst themselves for the means of consuming the surplus produce of ? their own soil. That a period may occur in , the future history of the northern, middle : and western sections of thb Union, when > manufactures may be properly regarded as 1 Of primary importance to them, it would ho j ?& much a waste of time to deny, a* it would j be to assert, that in the past periods of Eu-1 ropean history,, they were not sometimes! most judiciously encouraged by the fostering , care of government. That there is nn op- i portunity even now of encouraging manuf.ic- . teres to a certain extent in the northern states, so as'not to interfere with others of ? their local interests of equal magnitude, mat . be true. I, therefore, have nottlie smallest dlspoait!6ti to dispute the utility of manufac tures In general, an a source ??f wealth and ; prosperity, provided all vircutnsisnecs suit tor their uitroduutiou into a country. 1 feel the weight of all that has been said in -their favour; and belkve that where they -are permitted to grow up alongside of ?nl. %> interests, under the protecting care of a government which has the untl<a;oted power to extend it* patronage to tlium, (44 it the CMC with every consolidated government) they will give activity and energy, to every languishing branch of internal industry. Hut however true it Is, as a general i.<>*iUou, tliat domestic 111 tutu fact arc*it the true policy ol nation*, who abound with a dense and crowded population, and in which ilu re is ni-.re capi tal than agriculture or commerce, or other .occupations-can abtorl>; jrt, in> regards the application of the axioni to the southern stUes of Xhu union, and partii ularly to the Rlantation and cotton growing state*, there t not on* word of truth, in all that has been written at to the utility of manufacture*, /mm the beginning of the world untirthc pre sent day. All the writers who bavedis cussed the subject, have discussed it (with thn aole view to the interest un.l circumstan ces of (He countries W which they lived and wrote?countries, therery opposite to these southern states, in climutc, sod, population, production, and agricultural I'ibour. {It to therefore false, under any possible tight la which the subject <4 manufactures can be viewed, at regards the south, that any Cotection given by Congress to the manu ItureiaofPennsylvaani, can operate other wise than at an Indirect tax upon tlie people af theseetbcni states, amounting exactly to the difference between wAe/ they now /my, and the ehefter ftrke at which iliey might obtain the article, if the three turtjf* already imposed Vftre removed. It i* trilling with ''the aadtwtandlngsof men, to toil them that 4w northern manufacturer can supply es With goods upon the same terms as the fo vein .starchant. He now furnmhes it i? true, some coarse fabrics cheap** thau the fcyw atlhrilm he is protected by duties Almost amounting to prohibition of tne lival article front abroad.?Take of all the tariffs Of 1816,1830 and 1834, and iwcry manufac turer in the United States, for the protec tion of whose fabrics these tariffs were im posed, will be e bankrupt without a single exception. If it were otherwise, two and two could not make four* for the protection awarded by these tariffs in not trifling. It is frrodigiotts. Ail the bold assertions there* lore, of those men, and their adherents in this southern eouutry, are to be disregard ed. Any man of noma must know, if too home msnufcaerer could sell his loo tar a tower price than is demanded the faretou dealer far the same goods, Ift he would not atk for protection. The ?round on which Author protection is now asked for wootlee goods, by the WxstTxas, Buicrts fc Cow 1% that the British hav ing redoced their doty>f t?r hence on foreign Wool, gives the British capitalist an ndvan 1 hi oar market over the home manuftc In the noma of common sense, what bat a Arret mdmi?ion, that the Brit I about to undersell thtfrf.' With the Mldaest of sortition, they also tell (and surprising to say, it to bei ter se) that the eastern people can ac " the British la a foreign msr Brlttoh are 00 andorsellhig , Bviaarrs ft Co. in Bos should be all mined.

Mr. Hamilton had here* in hie view, two countries, rack of whom could manufacture. Hi* Jeasoning would, I think well apply to the United State* and Eny> land, for* a* to the great agricultural pro duct* of the United State*, which it cotton, there i* a capacity to produce it only in one coontiy. Hut, Mr. Hamilton'* reasoning mtut be inuvh mure conclusive, where on? country can maauiacture, and the other can not. This i* the case a* regard* Great Bri tain and the Vhtfittition State*. - We can raise the raw material?*he cannot. Rhe can manufacture?wc cannot. Hut how vam ?re the speculation* often of the wisest men. Alexander Hamilton never committed a more egregious blunder, than when he ha larded before C ong res*, in hi* report, the opinion " that the extensive cultivation of cotton in the United States, could, perhaps, Hardly be expected, but frvm the fircviotu establishment of domestic manufactories of the article.*' ?: Every Planter knows, that for his cottdn, he roua look to Europe, and to England par* ticularly, for a market. England is the principal customer, with whom he can ex peet to deal upon reciprocal terms, and to our greatest advantage. There is no rivul rv, nor is there likely to be any, between Europe and the Plantation States?as there is, and always must be, between OLD EiikIuimI and.NEW England. We are ex actly in die situation of two shnp-keepeis, who do not vend, or deal in, the same arti cles?and between whom, there it no pros pect of competition?and between whom, there of course, never ran be ?jealousy. Only clove the European trade against us, and where shall we look for a market? Not certainly to the North, which docs not pro bably consume a seventh of what we raise. No. Should that day ever arrive, that Eng land shall not want our cotton?thru may v.e despair. Our true intercut, I repeat, which is a dis tinct interest from an Easti/in interest, is ?? tree and uninterrupted commerce with the whole world, and particularly with Englund, w here are the work shops of sufficient ex tent, to work up the raw material whicii wc raise, and are in danger of raising iu too great abundance. Take from us this mar ket, by clogging the trade widi protecting or prohibitory duties, and we drive our best customers to teck the raw material else where, anil to eucouraue other countries to gr.<\v cotton w?Kii f^r them. Willi the ex ce|>te>n of (lie fine brands of Sea Island cot ton, it must l?e temembcred, that a third of of the globe is capable of producing cotton. To iiing'mr, therchii a, tuat hnglanri will take oar cotton, if she is to go to South Ame rica and bring gold and stiver for it, and not lior own manufacture*, betray* extreme ig norance. The experiment once hasatiled, it may he fatal to us for ever. Commerce ie a shy damsel, and must be caressed. Once slighted by a nation she returns no more. What then will he the situation of South Ca rolina* Will it be any consolation tou?, that the time may come, in some hundred years hence, that the Kustern folks shall reulise their \ i?ions of manufacturing for the world ?and drive Kngland and Prance entirely nut of the market?when, in the mean time, we, ?air families and friends, shall have been im poverished?and more generations tliau the preaent, be reduced to beggary, nnd be in volved in one common ruin, i'his cannot, and MUST NOT be. We have had hut ?nc interest, and that is the stjfricuilure tliat produces, and the Commerce that wafts our cotton and rice to the shore* of Europe. No other interest can flourish, or even take root in hii land. Nature hm decreed, by an im mutable decree, that iu foreign tominerce, shall South Carolina seek for the source* of hrr urosperity, and her importance at a member of the great American family. The Government, therefore, which placet upon that commerce any rettraint, it not the Government that would, but the Govern ment which ALHEDY HAS KIVKTK1) the CHAINS around the neck and the fe?t of Southern industry. That Government is not the Pcderal, but the NATIONAL Go vernment of the United States. Tliii it strong language, but not too strong for the criftis. Never, never tince the co lonisation of the country, hat any measure been adopted, no, not the odious stamp act' f England, which demands from the Southern States, a more steady and a more determin ed resistance than this tariff} not a resistance by resolutions of town meetings, but by soc.lt acta and measures of the local Legislatures, It shall cause the usurper* at Washington, to tremble at what they are doing, and to pause, ere they plunge this people, hitherto to happy and so united, into discord and disunion. Disunion did I say? Whether disunion shall approach us, rests not with ourselves, but with our Northern brethren. Forbearance and pusillanimity in the South, may retard, but cannot ftnaUy prevent dis union. There is a point, beyond which, we never can endure the oppression of Congress. The " veriest warm will turn whan trodden on," and sooner or later, we must turn on those, who would lay us under perpetual tribute. It la firmness alone?the same firmness, with whioli as a colony, we restated with such success, the aggressions of Britain, that la to carry us triumphantly through all the perile which assail and aurtound us, and which In the end* will, in my humble flaw, lead to the regeneration of the liberties and mVm ?AiMmtjanfun Msm flbu^AaaM^' *ne wrrifmioi m mm ouifij N iCCirCti by the Federal Constitution.

The opinion* of General Hamilton are relied upon a* the highest authority in favor of thi^ present ijrittm of robbing one part of 0?e United,f&tes to enrich the other, and in favor of the same party who are now making every exertion to consolidate all the powers of government in the hands of the general government, to the debt miction of the ?tates and tho liberty of tho citiaens.
