Wr may now hope, then, to hour no more about a hoax. Not that there was no cause to bus, ect the genuineness of the citation; but it was not a little mortifying, to see men evidently desirous that it should prove to ho a hoax, nicely be cause they disapproved of the Slate’s proceed lugs on the subject, or disliked Mr. Gilmer, and ■ho edlosen ins un, opuUrily inn eased by the ridicule which would follow— caring nothing so; that which might full to the share oftlio Stale.

The i objections to" the present arrangements, vve understand, principally regard the Northern Mail—the time of its a; iival, 10 o’clock, I’. M. rendenng it impracticable to obtain let'.cis and pa; ers therefrom, till tho next morning, or tore ply by letter, till the second return mail; while at the same time, the letters and papers for Hamburg, arc dist. United, th ough the ; olitoiicss oflhe Post-Master of that place, on the evening ol their nr.ival, —the small business oftliat office, coiupai i d with that ofou. s, enabling him to do so without inconvenience, while hero it is impracti cable, —and this earlier attainment oflhe news,is supposed to give the merchants of llan.hu-g some advantage over those of Augusta; though wo should presume that the latter, aware of the cir cumstances, might avoid entering into any spe culations till the Augusta office opened, without any material injury or inconvenience. We can not see how these objections can he removed, consistently with the general interests of thu country, as lately so much facilitated, by the ac celerated speed in the transmission of the mail from the North to New Orleans; as the desired improvement cannot well be made without caus ing the mail to arrive here several hours cailior, which, fiom a review of tho ionic,would seem al together impracticable; or delaying it one day, which of course is out of tho question. There can he no possible objection, however, to the pro; used consideration and memorial. The Pest Music. General will certainly have no objection to consult with out citizens on the subject; and the evident solicitude with which lie has studied the interests of the whole count y connected with his department, and the promptitude and energy with which he has improved the in, whenever practicable—and among others those of our own city-' -is thu best assurance that he will cheerfully again comply with tho wishes ol our citizens, us far as established engagements, and conlhvt.ng - interests, may leave it within his power to do so. , The present arrangement with regard to the Savannah Mail, we understand will also be con sidered. The citizens of Savannah, (who de sire that these of Augusta should co-o crate with ® them on the subject) have adopted a petition to [ the Post Master General, an extract f.om which has been sent to gentlemen of this city, and is in serted below. —A con es, ondent, it will be seen, suggests that the Sunday Mail question lias - some connexion with this latter object wll h • what correctness we cannot say: but wo should • hope that all such improper interference would be promptly discountenanced, both lie a and in Savannah; and that it will be, to-n’ght, if the ; r ! suggestion bo well-founded. a AUGUSTA MAIL. “Wo bee leave to cull year nitciiiiuii lo this important , mail, amt lay befiire >on ilir following ficis. * ‘l u “ u * 1 lily ofCiilion received nt Savannah, Irani AUTUBtn the 3 lust season was alimii 1.W.0W) liulos, ami the value at oJU nor bain amounted lo SI.uOO.OdO. ami the value ot mnr clmndi/i- returned was probably nearly equal in amnnnv. making nn aggregate of nearly nine million* 01 dollars per annum.

Mr. Jknkins, of Richmond, replied to Mr. Schley.—He was by bi th a Carolinian, and hot p opined to say, by advocating tho o igiual cso lutions, “my native land, good night.” Ho did not step f) th as the accuser of one party, nor as the special advocate of the other. Doth would 1 strenuously advocate llici; respective causes; and whether or not they did so sincerely, was a matte between themselves and thei own con sciences. Rut ho was not disposed to denounce the people of a sistc State,---could not swallow the odious denunciations leveled against them — and would never consent to adopt the . esolulions which contained them. If ho did, he should he ashamed to c oss the Savannah vivo , or to look an honest, high-minded, & generous Ca oilman in the face. Ho repelled tin chagcs made against Gov. Troup and the T oup party, and would saj to Ills colleague, who had n.outhod it about Republicanism, and talked so much of the inconsistency of others, that they who live in glass houses, should never th o\v stones; or if they do, they need not lie surprised if their own f nil edifices should he demolished. Did the gentleman forget, that he had been a Fede ralist, and an opponent of the war—and that he had refused, or regained from, joining in tho joyous celebrations of those victories which fi. inly established tho independence ot our country, redressed its wrongs, and shod around it, rays pt mu* u —I—LI- &b>iy. [Mr. Hciilky ; Hero rose and denied tho assertions. ] M.

His .colleague, after dccla.ing liis op position to the Ta. iff, had ti god in suppo-t of it, that the li ft Cong ess, nfle. tho adoption of tho Federal Constitution, composed pa lly of tho framers of the constitution, had passed a law (b the protection of Mainifaclu es. [M . Schley lir c ruse and olise ved that he had not urged this in suppo.tof the Ta iff, hut to show that there I was cause for a loasonablo difference of opinion oh the subject, and for moderation and forbear ance on our pa t.] Mr. J. remarked that this point of tho subject could pass with gentlemen fur what it was worth, and in that state he should leavr it.—He dep ftatnrt the censure endeavor ed to he cast on Carolina, and considered that it involved the State as well as the people. In compliance with the recommendations of the i Gove nor, resolutions had been eported, appro , ving oflhe Indian policy of this State, and pledg ing the aiil of Ca.olina against any into Terence I with on, just rights.

Patriotism ! was of a glowing and houyunt nature, and when , it bounded upwards lo a giddy height, was it 1 the part of justice or generosity, to hull it down • ward to destruction, rathe, than po-tnil it lo s descend, by its own gravitation, lo its proper 1 level I What if Carolina, in the fust burst of 1 her patriotic and indignant sense of oppression, - hud been rush or imprudent in her measu es, - who could hotter correct her error s, than her t own highly gifted, gallant, and patiiofc sons. lie did not approve of some, of the mcasucs , of Carolina, & rag.ettud the imprudence some r times manifested in advocating them; hut, nev -‘ e. ihelcss, lie believed them actuated hy ; u 0 and I pat.iotic motives. Indeed, he did not believe 1 tlic-o wore mope | u-c, disinterested, or higli - minded pall lots on earth, than her McDtimr., , Hayne, Hamilton, Rabnw.il, and Maiitin. - They wo o patriots, and the sons of patriots— , lie üblicans, and the sons of Republicans— -3 Southerners, and the sons of Southerners—and s none wore more brave, more ardent, more gen -1 emus, more magnanimous, or 1110 o 1.110. 1 Mr. Sculf.v said lie lose to rejdy to that part I of the gentleman's speech, which contained an I unprovoked and unjustifiable personal attack on 1 him. Ho had said nothing whatever, that could ■ be *0 construed as to authorize such an attack; r and he was sorry to see that the gentleman had 1 ado, tod so undignified a mean of evading arc ,- ply to arguments and doctrines which he evi s deutly found Inn.self unable to refute.—He had , never been a Federalist, in the odious acce . tat ion of the word, evidently intended by th, i gentleman; nor was he opposed to tho late war . after that war was declared. Previous to its declaration, he had cxetciscd the inalienable 1 privilege of a feeman, to judge of the policy 1 and expediency of the measure; and believing, with many of the nu est patriots of that day g ni [ this, f.om the then distracted feelings and ej. bausted finances of the country, that it was u n . prepared for a war, he had, in common wnR them, expressed his disapprobation of the mca. sure, previous to its adoption; but when it \va s j ado .led—which was by a majority of one vote only—he did not oppose it, but, con«ide;ing jj the established law of the land, publicly decla d it the duty of every good ci'izcn, to support it to an honorable termination. Ho bore the commission ofMajor of Militia, in Jeffc son Co., and solicited employment in active service, f.om the Executive of the State, Governor Mitchell; to whom Tils letter of application was borne, by Gen. then Col. Ncwnan ; and when the mill tin Were o.dored to Savannah, ho marched with them, with as n dent and decided a spirit, as h u could have done, had he bccu the most decided advocate of the uolicy and ox, ediency of die war. Both his ancesto-s and himself were always decided republicans. Ho bad been opposed totbo administrations &. politics of both the elder and youngo Adams, and an advo j cate of tho ,'rinci Icsaml politics andadmiuislrii -1 lion of M . Jefferson, except so fa as regarded the embargo, and the 'est ictive mcasu cs gene rally, to which ho was decidedly opposed. Hero tho rest, ictive system commenced, and here commenced that exposition lo it, on his part, which had continued unshaken to the present time. The South was then in favor of it; and because ho op, osed it, ho was called a Fodn allsl andaToiy; and now, that others who wore then opposed to him, had come over to bis doc t. inos, they were disposed to call him a Federal ist still—he presumed, because he happened to possess mo e consistency than they. When Opposed to the rcstiictive system, nt the outset of it, he had once a warm a guinont on the sub joct, with a friend of his, and during that argu ment, told him, that if they both lived fifteen yea s, ho would change his o, inion, and acknow ledge that be was w.ong; and 4flkd since done, so, decla ing that ho himself, had been incon sistent on tho est ictivo system, and he (Mr. Schley) consistent.—He was not a Fcdeialist, in the sense given to the word by the gentleman who had so wantonly and unjustifiably assailed him; hut so fa as it im.lied an affectionate, de voted, and undeviating attachment to the Fede ral Constitution anil the Union, he always had been, and always should be, a Fcde alisl. M . Jknkins said-it was unnoccssa y for him to say mo con tho subject. The gentleman had in fact acknowledged nearly all that ho hud charged him with. lie had admitted that ho had been called a Federalist, at the lime alluded to, and as the people of that time were doubt- ' less the best judges of the matter, it must ho presumed that ho was what was deemed a fed eralist in those days. He should leave tho gen tleman's explanation to the consideration of those who hea d it; & as ho had evinced much I sensitiveness on the sunje—, -• ould icnv.ch, that as the gallod jade would wince, so the wounded door would bloat. Mr. McDonai.p offered as a substitute, a pre amble favorable to tho Supreme Court, as the arhite. ofmatto.s of diffe once be tween tho States and the Gene al Gove nmont, Ac.; which was aflo ward withd awn—togeth or with a substitute, ofic oil by Mr. Havnks, ox ressing entho satisfaction with the adminis tration of Gen. Jackson, and a desire for bis re election. M . Doochxbtv, of Clark, opposed the origi nal resolutions, and all tho substitutes, except llic fi st 0110, offered by Mr. Beall ofTwiggs,- • the ecnsu.o endeavored to bo cast on 1 lie pco -1 IcofS. Ca.olina, and the doctrine of submitting questions cf sovo cignty, between the Stales and llio General Government, to the decision of the Supreme Court. How, he asked, could the latter, immediately connected as it is, with one of the parties, and consequently interested, in a certain degree, in the result of such qiics'- liiins, he looked upon for a moment, as a suita ble tribunal so their determination? Tho Court was composed of seven Judges—three might be on onu side, and th.ee on the otho, and in such a ease, the vital Uhcrtics of ihe pco Ic, and the destinies of the States, and of the Nation, would he ; laced entirely within the , owe: of a single individual. The people ,ncver intended that such should be tho case, and would never submit to it. Beside, when did the Supremo 1 Con; t ever declare a law of Cong: css unconsti ! tutional, or a contested law of a State conslilu j lion at?—What, ho asked, wo 0 the doctrines of nullification, which had excited, unnecessarily, so many alleged foa-s for the safety of the Union ! Did they aim at a separation of tho Union, or tend to bloodshed or violence ? No—thei.' ob ject, as he understood it, was a redress of grievan ces, in a legal and pcacvablo manner—to call a convention of tbo people, to deride, in their highest sovereign capacity, on Ihe constitutional ity of tbo present Tariff, and whether or not, to prevent its o cration in that State. If they decided that it was unconstitutional, and ino, c rative in the State, and consequently that the people of the Stale were absolved from all obe dience to it, it was ex: ected that the merchants of Cha;lcston, Georgetown, Ac. would refuse to pay ih. ir Custom-house bonds, beyond the amount so me ly exacted for revenue purposes. 1 The demand so the remainder, on the part of ' ! the General Government, would then be Lied ' | in the U idled Stales Dist. ict Cou t.at Charleston, 1 | belorc a Federal Judge, but hy a Charleston ju v, xx 1 10 woe OX; ected, in conformity with j llie decision of the Convention, lo dele, mine in • j favor of tha defendant. Tho case would then 1 bn sent up lo the Supreme Court, which xvould • of com sc, reverse the decision, and return it lo tho District Court, and that would again decide t for tho Defendant, and so on.* Tho’ lie did not 1 approve of this mode of redress, believing 1 that it was incap able of effecting it; fur even 1 -This lines not ilcx-clope the nliirmte nlijcet of t!ic. nul, ' litters.
