The Tariff. Among the numerous
evils which already have escaped from
this modern Pandora's Box, the acri
monious and vindictive spirit which it
his excited in different sections of the
Union towards each other, deservedly
holds a conspicuous place. Reproach,
invective, taunt and menace are adopted
in turn, and as they succeed each other
increase in violence. The resolutions,
speeches, Slc. on this subject, recently
adopted in South-Carolina and Georgia,
are noticed in the Knoxville (Tenn.)
Enquirer of the 2d ult. as follows:
"The reading of them has so
aroused our feelings that we for
bear at the present from going
fully into this subject. But we
will say to the people in the South,
who seem to think us wholly de
pendent, that unless our horse
drovers, our cattle drovers, hog
drovers, Sec. meet with better en
couragement than they did last
season, they m'cd not put them
selves to the trouble of amending
their 'peddling' laws. Our wor
thy and persevering citizens, who
visited the southern markets last
season, have generally been much
injured, and many of them irre
trievably ruined. You must learn
to give our hog drovers, &c. a
better price and pay them more
punctually, before you undertake
to violate the Constitution, by ma
king them pay a tax upon their
hogs, when driven to your market.

want of discipline on the part of

the slaves, that has prevailed in
this town: this, if suffered to con

that will put an end to our pres
ent state of society. It is hoped
that the arrangements making on
the part of the magistrates, the
commissioners, and the citizens,
will have the effect to prevent
such indulgences being given to
the slaves for the future; and that
every citizen will feel it his duty,
as a member of our society, to
have arrested at its commence

ges of well governed towns; and
also, give his aid to remove every
thing, still existing, that is calcu

public peace, and the well being

In consequence of information
communicated to some of our ci
tizens, of circumstances calcula
ted to excite a suspicion that some
injury was meditated against the
whites by the slaves, the magis
trates of "our town, with a prompt
ness that is highly creditable to
them,, commenced an examina
tion, which has continued for se
veral days, into tho nature and ex
tent of the apprehended mischief.
The result of their labors shows
clearly, that one cause of our
alarm, arose from the suffering

carrying 10,000 weight at com

longing to the Company assigned
to the Staunton were at work near
Monroe, a small place above
Smith's mountain. The Compa
ny intend to sluice the Staunton,
or improve the bed of the river, so
as to answer all the purposes of
boat navigation up to Salem, in
Botetourt, if practicable during

purpose of erecting locks at that
place to connect the Canal with
