tertion, and can only lie taken on the ground
that "Hull Truth" is ignorant of the sub
ject ho is treating on. lndoed, he says ho
"isneithor an importer nor a maker of car
pets;" this I Iwliovo, (or wore he either, he
never would aftirin that which can becon
t nidicted by ftveout of nix carpet dfcaleis in

who have (icon in tho hahit of retailing car
peting for twenty years or more in this city
will not now keep tho homo made article
in their stores. They have mado trial of it
and lost motley in the attempt. Thit fact
cannot be du/iuted because it is in the/iow
rr of everxj fiurc hater of carpeting to make

Now, Messrs. Rditors, if these facts are
untrue, how is it to bo accounted for, that
the American manufacturers are obliged
to have their caroling retailed in this mar
ket, while the old vender* of tho article
will not purchase it by wholesaled If tho
home made article is ho su|)erior, why are
thev soli) in roiuu of tho Southern cities as

gentlemen who are engaged in selling for

not receive the American article, and sell
it as foreign"! TIickc questions "Real

TRUTH.
T" llir K^itor* of the N. Y Morning Herald.
C?knti.kmkn.?Vour remarks in this
(lav's Hcmltl nrc characterized by candour
ami mnilci titioii, mid I am not certain that
\ >ur opinion and my own may be ultimately
found to agree, at least oji on" point the sub
ject under discussion.
Hut there arc very many on which we
widely differ. 1 am convinccd that this
country has carried the manufacturing sys
too far already?that It* steps have not
, been sufficiently gradual to insure perma
nent success, and that the partial manner in
i which that interest lias been over-protect
ed, has been iniuricus to others equally cn
' titled to fair and reasonable encouragement.
I All this 1 believe, without i.i any way ftel
t ing hostile to American industry. I wish
! that its cnr.ourngcment should be no greater
| than its deserts, and it seem* to me
'that agricultural industry has the prior
| claim to manufacturing, that under the prc
i sent system agriculture is not cncouraged,
| is proved by the fact that Irish potatoes
j have been this year imported to a large a
| mount tor the supply of our market. One
: would suppose that In this agricultural coun
j try, wc might be able to raise at least our
I own vegetables.
| Besides, in the encouragement o! agricul
ture we aid the cause of morality, and make
I good and honest citi/ens. For it is well
j understood that in no class of men Is there
1 lew immortality than among the industri
ous yeomanry of a country. Such is not
the c'nse with the manufactories, whtrrc hun
dreds of men arc crowded together to hatch
and foster vices unknown to the healthy
pursuits of a rural life.
! know, Messrs. Editors, that you will
shv that such effects as I allude to have not
vet been produced in this country. But wc
are not bound to confine ourselves to
what has been done. The tendency of o
j vergrown manufacturing establishments can
1 easily l>c deduced from the experience of
j Great Britain. Vice, and misery, and in
' subordination, reign among those employed
s in them. Whenever adversity reduces the
j proprietors to the necessity of discharging
! their laborers, or of reducing their wages,
1 they become an army of malcontents, *pread
i ingfear and violence and insubordination a
| round them. They cannot obtain employ
, nient in any other pursuit, and resort to II
i legal acts to obtain it, in which they arc
i encouraged by their numerical force.
You may say that such things will never
h ipprn among us: But what reason have
yn? for sa> injj s'>, except that they have
not happened.' The same causes will pro
dure tilt same effects in this country as
in Kngland; for man is alike every where.
Y?u have cited some cases In which you
assert that smuggling has not been produc
ed by high duties; and 1 must confess that,
to me, the statement, if made on the broad
ground, seems a very haaardous one. If
you argue thnt high duties do not naturally
induce smuggling, I am at a Whs to know up
on what data you have formed your opin
ion. If you mean only to aay that, in re
gard to a few articles no smuggling haa
been carried on, and that because of some
peculiar circumstance, then you admit the
principle, ami that is all I think worth con
tending tor?that a high tariff docs, when
not prevented by extraordinary circum
stances, give rise to smuggling. That such
in the case I have no doubt,
I am ready to admit that it fa difficult to
bring onr minds to the formation of a judi
cioua tariff*. But it h an object worthy con
sideration, and one on which the reflections
of all ought to bo employed. Certainly
that which now exists is Injudicious?thie
is admitted even by yoo?-and a* cer
tainly ought ita evil feature* to be removed
if possible,

the abstractt of the declaiont of the court,
which we promited to our resdert at itt
commencement, and at the judges were
kind enough to furnish nt with ihete ab
Mracts, they will be regarded with interest
by the Bar.
It wenu to be the deliberate purpoee of
the Columbia Teleeoooe, the Augusta
Chronicle, and the Chaneeton Mercury, to
excite a prejudice in the minds of their
reader*, against us; and, in pursuing the
end they nave in view, they are, it seems
to u?, more indifferent as to the means than
becomes the generally frank and direct cha
racter of the South. One of them, for in
stance, hears a private conversation *e
Kitod, badly remembered, and worse
nslated, and presently prints it, with
inferences, which carry absurdity on the
face of them, of intended disrespect, on our
part, to tho People of tho South. This is
eagerly transferred to the columns of the
t two coadjutors of this print, with suitable
I embellishments.?Mit. Intel. June 18.
??To excite a prejudice" ? Yes, sirs, it has
been our "deliberate purpose" to do more;
to bring down upon yon the contempt of our
readers, whirl) vou have long very fully
deserved, and which, if wc arc not grossly
deceived, you have now obtained to every
deshablc extent. We hope this remark is
sufficiently " frank and direct," a charac
teristic of which the Editors of the Intclli
Rcncer have yet to afford the first illustra
tion in themselves.
We deny that we have uied anv means
(or any purpose which have not been frank,
fair and honorable, and it will require some
thing more than the sly, indecisive insinua
tion of the Editors of the Intelligencer to
establish the contrary. Our readers will
remember the circumstances alluded to
above. We reported a remark of the effi
cient and responsible Editor of the Intelli
gencer which was communicated to us by a
member of Congress, to whom it was utter
ed, as an intended insult to those of the
South, who administered the one thing need
ful to that Editor's Establishment. The oc
casion of placing this remark before the
public was an appeal by the Editors of the
1. to the people of the South for additional
patronage of their paper, within a few
months after one of them had declared,
that he did not regret the loss of his South
ern Subscribers, for they did not pay him.
Were we not justified, and even called up
on by a proper respect for our fellow citi
zens, to publish this remark? Mr. Gales de
nied it: we promptlypuhlishcdhisdenialand
referred it to our author; he furnished une
quivocal testimony in our behalf, corrobora
ted by a third person; and the above is the
first,thclast, and the only explanation which
the I. has yet given of the affair. Who then,
we ask the public, has "badly remembered
and worse translated" the matter at issue?
Do our Inferences carry "absurdity"?or
do Mr. Gales' statement*' carry fal?ehoodt
on their face? Have we made our charges
in the dark, or failed to furnish direct evi
dence to establish them? And has not
the Intclligcnccr always had the means of
defence?
The IntcIHgcnccr continues:?Another
cooktt up Home other charge, and it Is used
in the name way. And,for any thing we
know, merely out of spite, because of our
having, some months ago, protested against
the anti-constitutional designs ana doc
trines of those prints and their confidential
friend**, and deprecated their proposed re
sistance of the laws, some twelve months
ngo, thoy may, hy dint of repeated asser
tions, succeed in convincing their readers
that wo really are enemies of the Booth?of
the South, where one of us was born and
l>oth of us bred; where the parents of one of
us yet happily live, and the ancestorsofthe
other for generations back have found their
IhiHsI ground?of the Houth, whose inter
ests we have always upheld, whose rights
we have slways vindicated, and the re
nown of whoso patriots iind statesmen we
have always lovod to cherish.?Yes. such
is the force of prejudice?such the influence
of vile party spirit, that even all this may
come to be swalkiwed by n credulous and
duped community, when administered
through the regular "organs." Nay,even
these Editors tnemselves may in time be
lieve what they so cordially respond to one
snother. Wo envy not tm minds thst are
so constructed ss to be csp^hle of deriving
fileaiiure from the success of Mich machina
ior* against their professional brethren,
and we heartily wish them some more
charitable and reputable occupation.

Improvement have they over opposed, what
usurpation of power by Congress?since
they fell from the Republican faith?into
that of the DUtrict of Columbia, whose
creed consists in grappling every cent in the
Treasury of the Union for local and selfish
purposes?
Do they remember the time when the
Federal Republican loaded evrry Stage
Coach that left the Post Office, and threat
ened to overshadow them?when they had
not 40 subscribers North of the Potomac,
out of Washington; when their life blood
was drawn from the South to which they

aineaaof prosecuting for gambling. It ap
pears from bis note that he ia thought by
some to be very inquisitorial and to have
instituted a system of etfiionage. This
question we are not called upon to settle?
and since, as he says, we are not in posses
sion of one twentieth part of the facta, we
are not capable of doing so. The charac
ter of a common Informer ia always odious
?but undoubtedly should be so, only accord
ing to the mrtive which governs him. If
he succeeds in suppressing gambling here,
according to the spirit and intent of the
statute against it, he will deserve and re
ceive the thanks of the community. To
this extent we with him the utmost success.

Tht National Journal, which has honor*

order to prove that there la a coming attack
upon the tariff at the next session of Con

slvo and laborious in mustertlngupdetscb

the Journal that an attack will be made, and
that too, whatever may be the course of the
| administration, upon the vile system of im
post, which has brought down the execra
tions of all sections of the country. We
trust It is destined to fall to ruins, and to
crush in Its wreck the political prospects
of the great champion who claims the hon
or of itscoocqrtion and execution, and who
is at present the Magnus Apollo of the
Journal. The tariff will be brought before
Congress, whether the President assumes
I that task, as we hope and believe he #ill, or
not. The Journal has long been sounding
the note of preparation to the monopolists?
the Clayites?and calling upon them to pa
rade, drill and exercise their forces for bat

pect to find many a deserter front their
ranks in the heat of the engagement.
The Louiriana AdvcrtUer of the 20th ult.
ssys, that much of the commercial distress
of the City of New-Orleans is to be traced to
the operation of the present " injudicious
tariff," the decreasing exports of cotton,
the unusual quantity of unemployed ship
ping lying at the levee, seeking freight and
the depression generally of the southern ag
ricultural interest. If Louisiana, whose
principal staple la among the objccts of na
tional bounty and protection, and which al
ways meets with a ready and profitable
market, is thus suffering under the opera
tion of the tariff, what roust be the state of
affairs in South Carolina, which has been
the subject of unmitigated depletion, with
out a single tonic to brace her, in any shape
whatsoever.

had occurred during the past week at tho
charity hospital, some of which had proved
fatal.
The Advertiser expresses no attoni&h*
mcnt at the early appearance of fever tho
present season, considering the causes for
epidemical miasma: the late constant and
heavy rains, succeeded by almost Intolera
ble heat, and the river declining into it*
bed at a much earlier period than usual,
leaving the refuse and filth of fiat boats, to
engender in the son, from which the most
obnoxiout|fcetic effluvia arise, spreading dis
ease and death around.
