TU earlier are pt ' klMte4 frana aellli( them wler anjr elrcwMtaNe. r their opponent!. Tho democrat!, as a tth ui. We jro out from behind our 3fThe Commercial of thif mornin wafth fa- cetioui upon what it it pleased to denominate our 44 terj affectionate adiico to the whiji ujon the wbject of an open convention. We have remark ed in a former article, that instead f mischief, calculated upon much fprintinj from the ac tion of prominent whi gentlemen here in opposition ' ta a convention. We meant what we Mid in its falleit and broadeat ene. We meant pood to the Eaat, and good to the whole ftate. It would teeni, from the funnj remark of the Commercial, that the Editor of that paper cannot rise to the comprehen sion of tueb a meaning cannot conceive auch an idea. It would he nonsfne fur u to pretend any great desire for the suevcas of the wl,ig pivrty ; but upon thia lubject of the convention, we wi.-h, if p ible, to obtain the co-operation of g nnl men of ull partiei. A two-thirda vrote n requisite for the pilo tage of the law for abolishing the landed qualifies tioa for Senatorial electors ; or, on the other hand, to call a convention ; and no partiinn can hope f r the arrival of a tinie in this Mate, when one party can control a two-thirds vote in both branches not at least on a strict part voto. We hope, then, that the Commercial will see how men, strictly partizun. it niaj bo, but Still desirous of obtaining the parage of a measure which they regard as jiift and proper, and defeating another which they look upon a dan gerous in the extreme, may, in such an emergency, go beyond the limits of their own party, and rejoice in any and all favornble indications in the ranks of body, are 1- 1 go out irom ucninu our enirencn- rnents, and ak the conservative portion of our whig opponents to come up and help us If we wanted simply a party triumph our best plan would be to get the Whig party arrayed in folid pha lanx against us on this question. In that cac, al though equal suffrage might be lost, the party thot opposed it would inevitably ehnro its fate. The Dem ocrats of the State have so uniformly declared in fa tor of Equal Suffrage and of tho mode of obtaining it by enactment, etc., that wo would be fairly justi fied in demanding its support of nil Democratic can didates as a matter of party faith. We ask it of nil liberal minded Whigs, as a measure of protection for their own interests the interests of their tac tion and their State. An open Convention means nothing more than an absolute white bais in both branches. The only available means of allaying the agitation for a Convention is by demonstrating the practicability of making desired amendments to the Constitution by another and less dangerous method. Such a desired and desirable amendment is this abo lition of the landed qualification. Let that be passed- and tho agitation receives a death Mow. South Cnrolliia nnl the Prenhlene )-, The Charleston " Southern Standard," the orjran of the co-operation pally which recently carried the State of South Carolina, has in its issue of the lu'th an arti cle upon " The next Presidency," in which it depri cates the continued isolation of that State. It fays: We must support, as cordially as we can, the can didate for tile Presidency who is most favorable to our interests. J Wo can now, once for all, u sure the frends of the Constitution in and out of the Slate that South Carolina will not stand aloof in the approaching contest. She looks with expectation for the nomination, by the Democratic party, of a candid ate who shall be acceptable to her, Mich a man as Bu chakis, Douglas, or Dallas, or any other, who up holds the Constitution as it is, advocates an economical government, anil opposes the enactment of a Tariff which would add another weight to that which already presses no heavily upon the agricultural, commercial and Southern interests. Such a man would unques tionably receive the support of a very large majority .'of our people." . JCSyThe London Times remarks upon tho curious fact that the onljr free nations in the world, the United States and Great Britain, are now governed by an executive directly opposed in policy to jthe majority of the country, 'and unable to carry any ""one "Imeasure through Congress of Parliament, tinle-s .by sufferance. The President of the United States and bis Cabinet are Wbigs and high tariff men a large majority in Congress and in most of the States are Democrats and go for the tariff of '46. The uevf British Premier is a Tory Protectionist, opposed to all manner of reform, and in faror of the re-enact- i inent of. the Corn Laws. ', He says frankly that his 'policy hai no chance in the House of Commons, and he will, therefore, bare a dissolution and an election, Brown and Wilcox, of Mississippi, hail a fiht. Brown hit Wilcox on the bom-, and brought the clar et. Wilcox returned the blow, anl painted Brown eye, clinched and fell. Were separated, and apolo gized to each other an l the House. All friendly a galn. lUlbu yineM. e emnot approve of duel ling ; but we mutt still think, that if a resort tomch funt arbitrament inevitably fuILwrd all breaches of revect towards each other, members of Congress would behave in a manner more creditable to theui ndves, and less disgraceful to the country.

The fullowing is the ebbing paragraph of a b'ti article upon the Tariff ot H Hi, that appeared in the Richmond l imes, of the 11th inst If the planter receives but thirty dollars a bale for cotton, for which heoulit to receive fifty if a reduction in the price of cotton inflicts upon thi country a loss in a single e;ir of fifty millions of dollars, we need but ay.

And the enquiry illicit be extended to other productions: Miar, to bacco and wheat, with a oiniilar result All have suffered under the blow inflicted by the administra tion of Mr. I'nlk and Mr. Walker upon the trade and production of the country, by .which the home demand has been ruinously contracted, while plan ters and farmers must neck nearly all their exchan ges in the diminished and dimitnthing markets of Kiighinil '' Now, we will " account to the Planter.'' and we feel satisfied that we shall nuike pxnl t be predictions of free trader at nil events, wh are willing to leave it to the planters, to say whether the tariff Khali re main as it is. or whether we are to have more Kpn Vuil legislation upon the Mihjcct. The following of ficial tables we extract from a powerful speech re cently delivered in Congress, by Mr. I'antoul, of Massachusetts While we reprobate the course of this gentleman, in his fanatical desertion to the free soil interest, we have a right to gather truth 'wher ever we find it: and the demonstration below, by of ficial figures, is a conclusive refutation of the com plaints of the protectionists on an important point connected wit h tariff operations : " You w ill find that your exports of produce of all sorts brought, under the tariff of '42. about $I2". 000.000 less than the same articles would have a mounted to if sold at the prices which prevailed for four years previous to '42 'I here is a state of things which agricultural interests would i.ot desire during those four years.
