CO A KTITUTION AL.
Wo copy the following’ desultory remarks from
rut Essay in the Cheraw Republican, under the
signature of “ American,”
To return howevttr to the claimed right i
of forcible resistance. It is admitted that
in private coulroversie*, and in contro*
Yersios between individuals and the go
vernment, iba law is tli* aibiter of rights.
But it is contended that in a controversy
between a state («hat is, between tlie as
sociated individuals who compose a state)
nnd the federal go\ernmnot, about state
sovereignty, the case is different. 11 is con
tended tint "thore is no tribunal express
ly appointed, with exproxi poweis to de
cide such a question among us.” And
that therefore, a stale rmvst do, for itself,
what the law does for an individual. T his
doctrine is true of Completely sovereign
nations; as Fiance and Spain; or the
United States and Gieat Biitatn. It was
true nlso of the sovr.ral slates before the
confederation. The application of it to
them, in their present staie, i» one «>! the
different modifications of an eiior found
ed upon a iniscoii3trurtio , i of*' M idi»on’s
rnport arid show# how far able and
honest men may sometimes be led astray,
by the authority of great names. 1 1 sup
poses that the wise authors of our Consti
tution were so unwise, as to frame a go
vernment destitute of the power* feces
sarv to carry on its operations. Ii sup
poses that while one of the express and
prominent objects of the states, in form
ing a Common Government, was to 1 in
s.i re ti nines fir tranquility" they still loft
rnntroveisies, likely to arise under that
government, to he decided by the sword.
Rut they wore not so weak and shortsight
ed. They made ample provision for iho
peaceable adjudication «>f all questions
which ran arise under the constitution.
Although no comroveisy can, perhaps,
coos'ituiionalty take place between the
slato and feder.tl governments, except
through individuals upon whom their laws
oporuto ; yet if wo suppose a ruo to be
nude out in which the governmeots are
the immediate parties ; lor even such a
case the coustiiutinn expressly provide*.
It pmvidos that “ the judicial power ol
tite United Stales (vested m one supitowe
court') shall extend to controversies to
which the United Slates shall be a par
ty." Il nutters not who the other party
imy he ; whether a stale, or a privaie in
dividual : and i( a stale, it matters, not
what the subject of comroveisy may be;
whatlinr “ gauds and cha'tUa” ui sovu
leisnty.
What it soveieignty T—ln monarchies,
if is something which we simple republic
mis do not to well understand, or rather,
winch we do not believe in. It is said to
rest with the Emperor, king, Ac. s*ho
is ihorefore called the sovereign ; and,
accoidiug lu the language of his worship
ing patNsiles, it renders him sacied nnd
intallih e. 11 raises him uhevo all law,
end gives him a natural right to teign
over the people mu) rial upon their sub
stance. Al his death, it is supposed to
p i»*, by i kind of transmigration, gene
rally lu bis nest ol kin ; who is reveren
ced accordingly without irgml to age,
sex or character. Hot we, to this coun
try, have no ticli ii dicnloiis, fictitious
foolery. We do things it) <i more practi
cal, plain, com non sense style. We use
the woid • > vet eignty ; because it is a
convenient term to express a camples
idee. We mesa by it, merely the sim
ple power of govemmrut—the power ol
inektug end enforcing laws. In the ft
«rci»e of sail power, w« have erected tn

trust the decision of such questions as
well as ail others appertaining to their
general concerns, to themselves, as a uni
ted whole, according to the mode agreed
upon by them, rather than entrust it to a
single (fne of them. They seemed to be
of opinion that the objects of their union
would be more effectually secured, by
! placing an objecting stato upon an equality
* with the others ; rather than by giving
I her vise sole power of deciding both for
| her and them.
| tv A Caictinian” objects to the supreme
j court the common tribunal of tlto spates,
I as a tribunal to which one of the states
1 should appeal, because il is a “ court not
appointed by the people, but by the exe
j cutive, and under executive influence, a
i court that has no cammon feeling with the
| stales, rr with the people.”
Ifthecoutt is not appointed by the
people it is appointed by llioir represen
tatives, which amounts practically to the
same tiling. Who in South Carolina,
ever objected to carrying his cu*o into
our courts, because he had not a doeci
vole in appointing the judges 1 The
judges of the Supreme Court are ail ap
pointed by votes of the states, through
their immediate representatives in the
senate. The slates could not wish, they
could hardiy exorcise, a more diiect voio.
ilow is this court under executive influ
ence ? Can the executive extend or
abridge the emolumruts or privileges of a
member of it? To wltom are they in
theory and practice accountable? Who
are authorized to impeach the judges ?
The immediate representatives ol the
; people. Who arc appointed to try the
judges when impeached? The immediate
representatives of the states.
Bat suppose these objections to the
court to be vain, they do not call in ques
tion its jurisdiction. They do not prove
\ that ii would bo lawful to resist is de
cree*. They only prove that ibe court
’ ought to ba changed, or that same new
j tribunal ought to be erected.
If a citizen of S. Carolina fees that
i ono of our laws or a part of our c<»nstitu
| lion is uuwiso, hi* proper course is not to
1 propose illegal and violent resistance ;
j but to enlighten the people and they w ill
: effect a change. When even the majo
j riiy of the parties to a constitutional cmn
! pact, in tins country, believe their consti
tution to be violated by the government,
, tbo remedy which they have reserved to
! themselves is not, by turbulent violence
to turn thing* up-side down, and Lei t
their own officers from the discharge of
the duties which they are sworn to por
fonii. But at the regular time, they
! chaugo their legislators and other repre
sentatives, through iho ballot boxes. And
if they deem it necessary, they change
lliuir constitution itself. But when a
minority believes that a law sustained by
iho courts violates the runstituiion and
invades their rights ; their legal remedy
! is freedom of speech and lirodous of iho
| p ass. Their duty, as faithful citizens, is
iio enlighten these from whom they d;ffor,
| and n it make war upon them.
In what I have said I hail reference
! not to the question, whether the supremo
Court is a propor tribunal ta decide ques
! lions of sovereignty between a state and
the union ; but to tho question, whether
or not it is the constitutional tribunal.—
»Nor do I mean that an oppressed state
has no right of resistance, except what
tho constitution allows. Every Mate has
the right of rebellion or revolution which,
I the colonies hid under tho British gov
ernment. But tins is not a constitution
al right. AN AMERICAN.

you in favor of.
I. We *'e not in favor of Nullification,
unless it be to nullify ibe nullification acts
and speeches of Co*>por and H ynr, and
the Columbia Telescope. But vie are
decidedly in fav >r of Mullifixation, when
the wine or cider is first chop, an I the

use «f birhers and raxor*.
(} 2 1. Which of the two do sou pre
fer, iluyno or Webster ? If you prefer
neither of them, then please state whom
you do prefer.
A. We prefer Webster, for his having
wove vi inextricable a veb about II ivoe
and t»i* Xullihcaiton lhypothesis, dutiug
the late teas.on ot Congress.
(J 3d. Are yon in favor of Statu

State- II rights »h a migrate fr>m the

A ten and Sedition Laws, and whit du
v >u liunk of ihe n* , clara , i nos I ndepe i
dn ce, and us \S ash.ngtou's lore*'!'
Address ?
A I ia Alien and Sedition I.aws u.V
euteJ a great n .mfer of politic tans, ma
jor and aimer, from the support of the ad
ministration under which they were en
acted ; and caused a mar xchtuut hub
bub among tbo«e on whom they bore
wnh grwutesi cd cl. The Declaration of
Independence shows how much ra-her
the isrc.'.ttf i i*n woold drfh-%.i, for hsp
p ttee*, on vueu own aid! and spuak, than :
ibe protection and goUottses of a British
tyrant. And as to Washington’s Fare
well Address, inasmuch as some of the
leading politicians of the present day seem
a little anxious te bid farewell to it, and
banish it from our national councils, we
think. Barton and Holmes deserve much
approbation for the pertinacious fondness
which they recently evinced for it.
Q. 5. What is your opinion of Miss
Fanny Wright and also, of Mrs. Anne
Rovall ?
We believe tnat Fanny Wright is not
Weight ; but that, nevertheless, she does
Write very well, in her way ; that she is,
wi haul doubt, one of the most notorious ,
if not the greatest, of modern she-male
lectureis, Hubert Owen not excepted ;
and that she would do something if she
could Mrs. Royall is an odd fish ; we
think there is very little of any thing a
bout her that is royal, other than her
name, and her sovereign contempt for
that modesty which is the loveliest quali
ty of hor sex ; and, if encouraged in the
con'inuity of her ‘lllark Hook,' she will
impart no vory bright feature to the A
merican li'erary character.
Q. G. Do you, or do you not, believe
in the existence of the Sea Serpent? If
yea, please state the reasons of your be
lief?
A. We do believe that the Sea Sarpenl
exists—in the imaginations of many. Our
reason for such belief, is, the knowledge
of the fact that this is an ago replete with
wonders—far from tho least of which,
are, two instances having occurred in the
course of the last two years, of fat offices
being patriotically refused, which were
tendered i.n compensation for political
advocacy.
Q. 7. Do you, or do you not, believe
in Capt. Synimos' Theory of the Earth ?
If yea, where do you think the Great
Il ole is ?
A. We have as yet no positive belief
respecting the concavity or solidity of the
earth —we shall know more about it after
the brig Aramata returns with Capt. Rey
nolds; meantime, though we can say,
that, if the ear'll actually is hollow, the
' Gteat 11 »le* is at the principal gettin-in
place, near the North Pole.
8. Wha. do you think of Governor
Houston's selling blankets to the Indians ?
A. That lie will very probably find it
more protiiablo to himself, than buying
blanks of lotte-y brokers.
O- 9 What do you think was tho case
of the dentil of Sam Patch?
A. That insatiable, singular, and most
deprecable amuition which inducod Mil
ton’* Devil to say, and to act as though,
11 "Tie brtl-r to ru.'c in /**// than serve in Hnvics.”
Q. 10. Piuaso state your btlief relative
to the death of Capt. Bill Morgan.
A. IPs death, and the ficts and circum
•tances which have been developed during
tho various trials hid upon tho subject,
have nut exalted the Institution of Free
Masatuy in irh, in tho Estimation of the
'‘uninitiated.”
Q. 11. What do vou think of the In
fan r School?
A. The answer to this question depends
upon the manner in which it is to be con
strued. It the querist moans tho common
School Sys.cm of Georgia, the practica
bility of which ii as yet unattested, being
in au infaut state, or mere experimental
stage, then go on w ith it, till it ihall have
been fully tried. But if he wislro* the "In
fant School’ to be understood in the same
light in which tho ladies are sometimes
toasted at anniversary dinners, as the ac
tive friends of M our Infant Manufacto
ries," why, then we say, it is a useless in
stitution, and should be abolished instan
tcr, ns causing n waste of '* ihe poeole’s
money." Xature , herself, is an efficient
instructress in tlieso matters, and is never
very dilatory aboul giving her lessons.
(J 12. On which side of a jug is the
handle tlierooi ?
A. Th* handle of a jug in never, wo
believe, n3i\n,l to the inside ; but more
directly speaking, in order to ascertain its
location, get i.ie unbroken arc—ar seg
ment, rattier—of the jug as exactly **
possible in front of you, and thus you will
find she haudio to be on fother sole. Tiiis
rule will bo found good with all common
singfe-h mdled jugs; but with those things,
ycl ’pt polit iral ju >Jet s, alias, ojjice-hunters,
it will be d'derent —and, if you suppose
certain mm ur principles to constitute
the j g, and themselves the handles, the
only method whereby you can find out
which side they are on, is, to make a close
examination tor the strongest side of the
log, and there you will perceive them.—
Hot such handle's are so very unsafe—so
little confidence can be placed in them,
that they are noser worthy of notice, any
or her than necessary to keep them off
the j ig, lest others, not sufficiently aware
ol their frag lily, should attempt to avail
themselves ot its sirtue, by those hanJles,
and thus break it into pieces.
y. 13. H»i«r many blue beans docs it
take to make live f
A. He have an acquaintance of the
name of Bean, who has a w ; fe and three
sons, all of whom take occasionally a lit
tle too large a " Jrap o’ ilia cratur." Let
those pets ns get pretty well fuddled ;
place the old crony and his three sous so
as to represnt four corners, and sex the
old woman in the centre, and you will
then hive fire blue Htans.
(J. 14. Which do you prefer, wine,
brandy, cin, or rum ?
1. Ne ther. W e eschew ail those Zu»*

GOV. TROUP’S LETTER.
Laurens County, Geo.
Sept. 21 st, 1830. j
Gentlemen: —Accept my thanks for
your polite invitation to a Public Meet
j ing and dinner at Columbia, directed to
! Milledgeville: it did not reach me until
! last mail. Whether with you on that in
j teresting occasion or not, you have my
best wishes for the results of the wise
counsels and patriotic efforts which you
' cannot fail to carry to the discussion of
the topics of the day—they are of first
importance to the whole union.
Whatever the People of South-Caro
lina in Convention shall resolve for their
j safety, interest and happiness, will be
right, and none will have the right to
I question it.—You can change jour own
! government at pleasure, and therefore yen
can throw oft" the government of the un
ion, whenever the same safety, interest
and happiness require it. If ambition
and avarice shall make of the federal go
j vernment, a curse, and the states are to
be held to it against their will, our con
■ dition differs in nothing from that of the
Provinces of Turkey or Persia. The
, manv-headed Tyrant, in the habitual vio
lation of the constitution, vaunts his love
of union, as if ready to make a burnt-of
-1 sering of his looms and spindles upon the
altar of that union—yet not one jot of
| concession is made to the prayers and
entreaties which, if offered to the Throne
i of Grace, would be received graciously,
and answered favorably. The Cormo
rant who fastens aud fattens on our sub-
I stance, may not release his hold, so long
as weate the willing subject cf his re
morseless passion. But ido not utterly
despair—the American people will see
! that the Constitution and Union can on
ly be preserved by a return to honesty
and justice. It is impossible we can be
wrong—ours is the cause of Liberty—of
j Freedom—of Industry—of the use of the
I faculties of mind and body fur all purposes,
merely innocent without governmental
interference : opposed to restraints and
! prohibitions & monopolies in every form.
If contrary to expectation the existing
system shall become the fixed and settled
policy of the country, the Southern states
must withdraw from the confederacy,
cost what it may. No evil is more to be
{ dreaded than a power in tho general gov
ernment, to regulate Industry—a power
which cannot with safe’v be confided to
any government, but with the most guard
ed limitations. Direct taxes for the en
couragement of manufactures would not
have been paid for a single year. The 5
cents a yard on our Colton Bagging, le
vied lor the professed purpose of enabling
the Western States to supply the article
on their own terms when the proceeds
were to make roads and canals for the
same States, would have b**en opposed
j with a spirit not easily allayed. They
! hive been borne only because being Indi
rect they are unseen, and because a por
tion of the evil may bo avoided by the
non-consumption of those articles w hich
1 are not ol first necessity. Thera cannot
be a greater fallacy than that the union is
to be preserved by a power in the gene
ral government to coerce the states. The
| existence of suvoreignty excludor the
j idea of force. Our’s is a government of
i opinion, of consent, of voluntary associa
tion—the only guaranty for uuion, is jii*-
i lice. Justice secure* good feeling, fideli
ty, affection, nnd nothing but justico can
secure them. Os what value is that un
ion mhich is formed of unwilling and re
! luctant members, who bat for the •word
suspended over their heads, would fly off
from the common centre, which burns
only to destroy ? The constitution ad
ministered according to its letter nndspi
i rit can dispense nothing but justice, and
! the character of ihe American people is
the sufficient warranty, that no state would
separate from ihe anion without justifia
ble cause. Regarding the union as a
I family compact, the members of which
ran only be kept togeiher bv the prdcnco
of strict and impartial justice, it i» better
that tho noo-con'pnts and malcontents
should be suffered »«»depart in peace by
common consent, than by common con
cert, to constrain a reluctant obedience,
which ifyieided today, may be forcibly
withdrawn to morrow. It is the shed
ding of blood *• bich deters us from con
stitutional resistance to uncos;notional
kiws, and which ought to ho postponed so
long as the faintest ho;>e remains of a re
turning sense of justice. You well know
how the same infatuation is constantly
pursuing an interest infinitely more sa
cred, the unhallowed touch of which we
would be bound in honor to resist and
with a vengeance never to be appeased.
But pardon so much on these distressing
topics, and accept the tender of mv re
gard and esteem. G. M. Troup.

FOR rue GEORGIA COURIER.
To the Trustees of the Richmond Academy
Gentlemen—
It appears to me that your Advertisement
docs not hold out a sufficient inducement for a
person of first rate qualifications, to offer for
the Rectorship in your Institution. I therefore,
offer the following remarks for your considera
tion, and assure you, no other motive influences
me, than that interest in the welfare of the Insti
tution, which every citizen ought to feel.
Ihe Rector’s duty is to tukc charge of the
classical department, and superintend the whole
Institution-—an arduous duty, if well performed.
Ilieiefore, let him have a good salary, and not
be dependent on the number of scltol irs for his
support. Make his salary S2OOO, nnd give him
the dwelling free of expense. 1 would ulso pro
pose a reduction in the pi ice of tuition; say in the
English department, for Boys not over Ten years
of age, 4 dollars; for Boys over that age, 6 dol
lars. lu the c'assical department let the tuition
be 6 dollars; ami I t those who wisli to learn tire
modern languages, pay 10 dollars per quarter.
By this method you would hare double, nay r
treble the number of scholars you now have,
aud consequently your income would be greater,
il the number of scholars should, ns I have said,
increase, you will require more Teachers; for no
Teachci can instruct well, more than 30 scholars.
I will therefore, proceed to prove to you (if it be
a fact that the number of scholars will increase,,
as the price of tuition decreases, which is very
probable,) that you can employ five Teachers
where you n>w employ but three. We will sup
pose the numhei of scholars to ircrease to 170—
sny 60 clasvical scholars—6o English scholars at
6 dollars—4o at 4 dollars —and 20 at 10 dollars,
studying the modern languages. Then your in
come will be as follows:
60 in the classical department at $6 is S3OO
60 “ •• English Do “ 6 " 300
40 " “ Do Do “ 4•• 160
20 studying the modern languages, )0 " 200
170 per quarter $960
W hich multiplied by 4
Makes, per annum $3,840.
Your expenditures should be as follows:
Rector’s salary $2 000
I*4 English Teacher’s salary J,OQO
2d Do do and > 800
3d l>c do do 600
Teacher of modern languages 900
Clerk's salary the same you now give 400
_____
6.700
The Institution would have to pay SIB6O from its
Treasury.
You are now paying out of yonr treasury to
three Teachers and Clerk the following sums,
according to your advertisement, vrzt—
Rector SBOO
English Teacher 600
Teacher of modern lanruages 250
Clerk 400
$1,900
Bring an rices* of s9oper annum over whatyou
would hove lo pay, upon the plan I propose.—
The resulc is, thal you will be enabled lo give
fair salaries to the Rector and Teachers ; put tu
ition lower—have more Teachers, more scholar*
and better instruction; and 90 dollars more in the
Treasury, every year. If these remarks should,
upon consideration, appear true, I hope they will
not pass unnoticed.
