71 r. Calhouu and the Tariff.
' One of Mr. Calhoun's journals. complains
that the Whigs will not understand the
cpiniotis of that gentleman on the subject
of the TurifE " Mr Calhoun n falsely
charged " it ssys, " with 11 sorts' of ex.
tremeSj and when he repudiates them, he
is just as unfairly charged with modifying
his opinions.
" It is Mr. Calhoun's own fault If there is
any uncertainty as to his views on the Ta
rifl. Ilia position on that subject was une
fiuivocal once. In 1816, be declared in the
House of Representatives, that o " Tariff
of protection was of vitul importance to the
-security and permanent .prosperity of , the
Union. lie said it would produce an
iuterest striotly Aiiieriean, its muofeso as
.agriculture, and fur more no than com
merce and navigation." He further main,
tained that to alford manufacturers ample
protection, woo id euuble the farmer to-'se
iis products high and buy ull his wants and
conveniences of . life cheap." '

'sorts of extremes," it may be asked what

perhaps ho may'bevilling to protect cotton

cult precisely to define . What he means
by Free Trade is thus expounded by the
Charleston Mercury : He means by Free
Trade, a commerce burdened by no heavier
duties than are necessary 4o support the
"Governmont." Under such a definition as
this, we may fill be free trade men, with
the understanding that the duties'necessary
for reveriuo shall bo laid with a proper dis
crimination in favor of domestic interests.

revenue,"und it answers the purposes of
protection also. It is not designed to raise

Tha tariff, by its happy protective influ
ence gives employment, at fair prices,-Jo
80,pOOmen, women and" children, who, if
il wererepeakd, would haveio seek support
in the other avotalions of life, and it bene-
fits, either directly or indirectly, the whole
population of our cpuntry. By the resulis
of the labor it sets in motion, it adds many
millions of wealth to the nation, increases
individual wealth, comforts and luxuries,
and. save bur people from that most odious
and most oppressive of aB systems of sup
porting government birect taxation.
You have seen, fcllowicitizens, that the
Tariff of 1842, pasted by the Whig Con.
gress, (God oless them !j bus showered
countless blessings upon our nation, by
creating employment for millions who were
unemployed : it has brought millions of
specie into the country j opened profitable
home markets to the farmer, where he had
none before ; conferred incalculable benefits,
upon tho nation, in changing the balance of
trado in our favor t which was heavily
against us prior t its passage..

? Agriculture we consider al the basis of
all national prosperity, ana tne toeierjng
mother of the arts. Commerce, vroanufac.
tares 4n short, every occupation and pro.
fessidn in life are inseparably connected
with and dependent upon this one : pursuit.
Then it must ba essentially Important that
great, attention be paid to' improvement Jo
its various branches. Jt is too often the
case that the young farmer ploughs as his
father ploughed, and sows as bis father
sowed. We find among our farmers such
illiberal prejudices' against .what they call
book farming,'!, that they can scarcely
be persuaded to try theexjerimentsof
others, - as recommended in agricultural
works, because they have been known to
fail in some instances. And some are just
asfar from making advances in the improve.
ment of their mode 'of cultivation, as if
they were chained to the surface of some
distant planet, or fixed" under the frozen
pole; and the reason ia simply because
they do not try experiments, and when these
experiments prove successful communicate
them to their brotticr farmers. 1 no . cuu
tivators of the aoil must think, and they
must draw hints from the writings and ex
perimcnts of others. . An occupation so
important as agriculture should be brought
to its highest perfection, if possible. And
we see no way 'of arriving at this result
but the one alluded to above. In order to
aid the farmers of this' region of country
to cutttvateiheir ISnds-more - successfully ;
we shall regularly furnish them with 'Urti
cles from able writers- practical farmers-
which will throw light upon this subject,
and enable them, if they follow-the advice

given, .10 make ineir neios more prouueuve
Ho who makes two blades of grass or two
fears of corn grow where only ne grew
before, will do more for his country than
rail the politicians combined,
The farmers of America have justly
been styled bo bone and sinew of the
country.. There is no class of men so in
per course. ' This course jhey can pursue
if they wiH. In order to be independent
our farmers must iearnto appreciate thei r
situations and. advantages." They must
keep pace with the improvements which
are constantly taking place in agriculture.
and must leave the old and . beaten tracks
in wbich their fathers trod, and jnstead of
impoverishing theiriandspis loo many of
them are" now" doing, they must learn to
improve them, and at the same time make
them produce larger and bettercrops Wepired vith those principles it ahalf ever
consider agriculture: paramount to any
other occupation in which man can engage
and believe that those engaged in it should
not only try the experiments of others, but
their: own, tliat it may be brought to its
greatest perfection
Education we consider paramount to
every thing ; sod no man, we core not how
humbje he may be, should bo deprived of
its benefits. - Where parents are too ' poor
to afford It, we believe it to be he duty "of
the Legislature to provide for tho education
of their children; and Jf-Js a consolation
to such to know that their; country stands
