If the question refers to the tariff acts of the early 1800's in the United States, then the answer is Southern politicians and plantation owners.
The Northern manufacturing sector of the USA wanted to curtail imported products by having tariffs on these products, giving USA companies a competitive advantage over foreign goods.
Although the South did buy Northern products, it also bought imported ones. This meant they had to pay more for imported goods. In addition, the Southerners saw the tariff acts as a means to expand Northern companies. This would increase the demand for factory workers. Many Southern common people might leave for better pay in Northern factories.

A tariff that wasn't even meant to pass congress. It stipulated a ridiculously high import tariff, and the foreign economic response mainly affected the Southern States.

It helped Northern Manufacturers and just in general the North. It hurt the South.
Thomas Jefferson and his followers opposed Alexander Hamilton's tariff policy.

Since the tariff was a tax on iron and cotton, the South would presumably go against the tariff. The North loved the tariff because it stopped some of the foreign factories, by making the owner of the raw products ship the products to another factory(likely in the North). John C Calhoun disliked the tariff because he felt that it favored only one part of the nation.
