Martinsburg Gazette And Public Advertiser

The Clouds Thicken.—The friends of domestic manufactures, have, in the annexed paragraph from the Charleston Mercury, another evidence that they should bestir themselves.

"The advocates of monopoly and injustice may learn from it that southern rights and principles have by no means been abandoned in despair. Mild and temperate as our political horizon seems, it is the stillness of resolution, reserving its energies for the conflict, and not by any means the calmness of submission. The spirit of opposition to the tariff, however little it may be displayed for a time in our public prints is assuredly as much alive as ever in the hearts of our people. The time for its exhibition will soon arrive—and as surely as it does, the supporters of the tariff will find that the people of the south will not permit that odious system to be riveted upon them, without one effort more to throw off the oppression."
