The Southerners' main dislike of tariffs was that they really didnâ??t get anything out of them. Since tariffs mainly benefited the manufacturing North, they only served to drive up import costs for the South, causing them to spend more for needed products. So in essence, they paid a penalty to increase the profits of the North.
Tariffs on imports affected the South because they had few manufacturers and had to import most of their goods. The tarriffs increased the price of goods imported from Europe to make them more like the prices of goods from the Northern United States. Thus tariffs protected the Northern manufacturers at the expense of the Southern consumers.
Southerners opposed the Wilmot Proviso. This is because the Wilmot Proviso established peace with Mexico, and the land that Mexico owned was in the South.

the tariff helped only the north while reducing European interest in the exports that the south and west relied on.
The Northeast and West wanted the government to spend money on transportation to help transport goods. Southerners opposed this because the money to pay for the improvements would come from tariffs, and southerners did not want an increase in tariffs.

Make your question more clear. What tariffs and when? If you did not answer your own question, someone would get a right one to you.
The main reason that Southerners opposed the election of Abraham Lincoln was his opposition to the expansion of slavery.
