In late Coon procession In Natchez there was
a small banner for each State with short motto
after the name of the State The motto for South
Carolina was the following


"SoUTH CAR for Traitors"

his cotton hepays, under Mr.. Clay's tariff, an in
creased price upon the bagging to put it in No
wonder Mr. Clay and his particular friends oppose
repeal or modification Of the present tariff:
