Col. Hsmraond rote, ard spoke in f«p!y to thisssnti a# lollowf; Gentlemen—l feel exceedingly reluctant, i at this late hour, to interrup. your festivities, by , a grave political discussion, but the approbation ! with which you have received the sentiment just’ ordered, and the pointed allusion to myself, for- I bivl me to be silent. Permit me as a South Ca ss rolinian Nuiiuicrto return you my moat hearty! t ; thanks. Next to the adoption*of our principles,! IB Georgia can do nothing so gratifying as to bear ; ill testimony to the purity of our motives- Pardon! f | mo for assuming that your approbation is not! f# unmerited. In my poor judgment of the duty: •iv which vve owe our country, tiiere never was in fl any ago or nation, a set of men actuated by a 1 ■ higher scuce of patriotism than the Nuliinera of; || our State. ! know that in many parts of the U laion they arc denounced as enemies to the Union, restless and ambitious a.-, .rants to power. I' take it on myself to say, that there exist no* where in these States men more ardently devot-j ed to the Union—the Union based upon the.; Constitution, and administered in a spirit of equa-' lity and justice. In defence of such an Union,: they are prepared at any moment, to sacrifice their fortunes, and pour out the last drop of their, blood. Those who have supposed that their, present struggle is merely to elevate the State to a higher rank in the confederacy, or further the ambitious views of any ofour citizens, are " lolly unacquainted with our people. The hum. blest nullifier would feel himselfdisgraced in such' a cause. He rejects—he acorns the imputation. L these suspicions have been entertained in| Georgia, ani given birth to unkind feelings to-; wards us, believe mo. Gentlemen, they have ao* b- cn reciprocated on our side of the Savannah. hatever sentiments may have existed at an , earlier period,since the present state of things; began, we have always felt that your interests , snd rights were ours—That whatever rhenaced . 'Miter wiw a common danger, and were prepared. whenever the hour came to join heart and hand) in your defence. Permit me also to say that while we knew you were not ripe to embrace the principles and measures inscribed upon oar ban-i liners, we have never had a doubt where you 1 would bp found should any peril threaten us.— | The soil that is consecrated by the blood cf a Pu-J jlaski, who crossed the ocean to succor a brave, ■ people, struggling for their liberty, has not nour ished a son who would tamely see his brother; perish in resisting tyranny. You are not ripe, for our doctrines, because circumstances have not led you to bestow on them the same consider ation that we have. You have had your own peculiar topics of excitement. You have yourj peculiar—yes, in one sense and to a certain ex-! tent, your peculiar rights and interests to main-j ijtain. These have diverted your attention from! the subject to which*ours has been directed with unparalleled zeal and singleness of purpose.— Yet the flashes of your spirit, lighting up from ; time to time the dark horizon of the South, have] j told us where you were, and our hearts leapt toj s.ediyour revolutionary altars still receiving in- j ; cense at the hands cf your Troup’s, your How ard’s, your Dougherty’s and Clayton’s. We have - seen where you have been and we have wished! J for nothing more ; and believing that like cur-j 1 selves you are devoted to your liberty—tojthesov-i I reignty of the Sta f es and the equality of the peo ple, without which there can be no liberty, —we liave cherished towards you the kindest and the warmest feelings of regard. At this hour of the evening I cannot trespass so far upon your time as to discuss our doctrine (of nullification. South-Caroiina" has, after a : long and serious deliberation, I believe I mav j now say, thoroughly adopted it. But she is not | ambitious to assume the lead in this or any oth er matter. Having in common with her sisters : of the •ou’h, no other objects than to cast oil* | the oppressions of an usurping government and restore the Constitution, she will not arrogate , to herself the right to dictate the means by which their common purpose is to be effected. Let Georgia, let Virginia, let North-Carolina spem;—and if any measure can be proposed j that will be as safe, as expeditious and as sure ;as nullification, she will follow any lead. {Here j tone one cried oat a soi.th;:u.v con vention.) . Is a Southern Convention proposed ? Allow jme (or one moment to examine it. This pro ! position coming two years ago from one of our | most distinguished citizens, who had recom j mended “ resistance to the American System j at all and every hazard,” wits at that time ge i nerally disapprove;! of. It was not heard of a -1 gain until very lately, when it has been revived Iby the Union party of our State. It has been fully considered by the nullifiers and unanimous ly rejected. It is proper that i should attempt ! to give their reasons, and ( will endeavor to do 1 so in a manner least offensive to this meeting, ; by whom it was so warmly greeted when allud i ed to by your tusti.nciuished guest, in the course of b;s very eloquent remarks, to which I 1 listened with the most delighted feelings. If is o o believed that a Southern Convention will be to tally inefficient, or unconstitutional and inexpe dient. If the convention is to be one merely of consultation as proposed in Charleston, repre senting individuals, and not the sovereign States, not capable of binding their respective Stales j and intended only to give birth to another re monstrance, protest or petition in addition to the thousand that have been already spurned by Congress, it is rejected as totally inefficient. If any thing could be effected by such means as this, it would have been done long since. Look at the Philadelphia Convention of last full. The lofty and solemn remonstrance of that dis tinguished assembly, penned by your own Der ; rien, backed by the representatives of fifteen sovereign States, carrying with it a force of af gurnent perfectly irresistible, & a weight of mo ral authority equal to that of any document since the Constitution, fell still-born on the desks of Congress- And will you again join in tmo j ther Convention to be ngain insulted by the cold and silent contempt of your oppressors ? For South-Carolina I answer that she never will. If it is intended to have a Convention by special delegation from the Southern Legislatures, cloth, j cd with responsible powers and authorized to I form a league for the purpose of resisting federal 1 legislation; it is answered that such a Conven. tiou is unconstitutional, and whatever the char acter of its measures, they will be equally so. ! The Constitution expressly declares “ that no : Slate shall, without the assent of Congress, en ter into an agreement cr compact with another State.*” for any purpose whatever. How then is your Southern Convention to meet ? Shall we at the very moment we are pledging our all for the preservation, of the Constitution, openly and palpably violate one of its plainest and most important provisions ? If you do, the blow that jis destined for your adversaries fails upon your ! selves. You have sharpened your weapons only to indict a more fatal wound on your own bosoms. But ev* n waving the unconstitutionally of the measure, there are insuperable objections to it. “A Southern Convention,’’necessarily presents to our minds an association with a “Northern Con vention” still fresh in the memory and detesta tion of the American people. The same feel i ing which consigned to eternal abhorcnce the leaders in that scheme, will inevitably ally to them the actors in the presam, however differ ent might be their mo.ives, their measures, and the times. These are considerations, worthy, in my humble opinion, of very serious reflection. A Southern Convention is rejected also on account of the delay it must produce, which should it fail in effecting any thing must prove fatal to our cause. The people of South Caro lina are now prepared to effect thoir own deliv. erance. They have not a doubt that they can do it of themselves, and are willing and resolv ed to take upon them the responsibility of the attefnpt. They believe too that with them, at the same time, and by the same means the whole South will be redeemed. They are unwilling i therefore to fail itro a measure which promises!' a delay, of months perhaps years until they! themselves may have cooled upon the subject—j for what human virtue is immortal—and become; accustomed to their fetters. Every moment of! delay lessens the prospect of success. Not on-j ly the most firm may falter, but the purest may, be in time corrupted. With such powerful and zealous adversaries as ours, every insran: during which they may lay their schemes for ensnar ing the weak, bullying the timid, corruption thej 1 powerful and discouraging the resolute, iainval-j uable to t?K-m and incalculably dangerous to us, 1 No, Gentlemen, we cannot go for a Convention.! j The proposition has already been rejected when;! proposed by our citizens. Nay, it has been] universally denounced as false and deceptive, 1 . the Trojati Horse intended to make a breach ini our walls and sack our citadel. If the State of *, Georgia adopts the scheme, her name will res- : cue it from this imputation. Retpect for herj . 9 I j might entitle it to reconsidevution, but iet me assure you that nothing can ever make it ac jeeptabie to South Carolina. She is bound |j to reject it by her sacred phdge, never ■to petition, remonstrate, or protest again. She ! jis bound to reject it by her devotion to the j, constitution an j the Union, she is bound to reject jit as producing delay, inevitably fatal to the i;South. Pardon me that I cannot coincide in j| opinion with this most respectable and enlighten j| ed meeting, but must still consider with my fel i low citizens that it is not a remedy as safe , as i expeditious and as sure as Nullification. I thank | you, gentlemen, for the kind attention you have ji bestowed on my poor remarks, and beg again to ;i assure youofmy high sense of the justice you have I done the motives of rny fellow citizens of South ; Carolina. Every indication of a fellow feeling on this c!de of the Savannah, thev hail with the ■j. # # ' • :j highest satisfaction, not that they wish to draw 1 you into a contest which they feel fully competent !| to wage themselves, but because they are delight j I ed with your sympathies and are taught by them j i to believe that we shall, as we should do, forma ! permanent union at some future day, if not now, in defence of our common rights of freedom and ! equality. ; Permit me in conclusion to offer you the fol ! lowing sentiment: Libehtv—Whenever, from whatever quar ter, at whatever point it may be menaced, in the hour of its peril, it will be forgotten that the Sa vannah flows between the lands, of Oglethorpe i and Pur}’.

I’XITED STATES’ BWK. We stated in our last paper, that the bill for continu. ing the charter of this Bank, had passed the Senate, by 28 votes against 20. We copy from the National Intel ligencer, the subatance of the bill. It may undergo! some amendments in the House, where there is no doubt i of its passage. The provisions of the bill are as follows: j 1. The Bank charter to be continued forfif-i teen years, from mid after the 3d day of March,; 1830 ; that being the day on which the present* charter expires. 2. The Directors may appoint two or more officers to sign notes less then one hundred dol lars, which shall be binding on the corporation, in the same manner as if signed by the Presi dent and Cashier. 3. Ihe Bank is not to issue or put in circiiia tK>n any notes, or any checks or drafts, of a less] denomination than fifty dollars, which shall not, on the face thereof, be payable at the bank where issued. 4. Ihe Bank, and all its offices, shall be bound to receive, in payment of balances due! them from other banks, notes or bills of the! i Bank oi i he United States, wherever made pay able on their faces. 5. Piie Bank is to hold no real estate (except ! bank buildings and lands mortgaged, dzc.) for a longer period than five years. The Bank shall not establish or continue more than two offices in any one State, j 7. The Bank is to pay two hundred thousand dollars a year to the United States for the bene, fit of the- charter, during the whole period of fif teen years. 8. It shall be lawful for Congress to provide law, that the Bank shall be restrained, at anv time after March 3, 1830, from issuing or keep ing in circulation, bills of a less denomination than twenty dollars. 9. The cashier shall report annually to the Secretary cf the Treasury the name of all stock holders; and rhe Treasurer of any State, on re quest, shall be furnished with a list of stockhold er.i who may be citizens of such State. REMARKS 07 THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER ON THE ABOVE. It will be perceived by our readers, that, with the exception of the section continuing the char ter, and that authorizing the signature of small bills by other officers besides the President and Cashiers, all the provisions and enactments of the bill are limitations and restrain’* on the Bank, or increasing its burdens. First, us to the bonus. For the present charter, and for the whole twenty years, the Bank paid one million and a it llf of DOLLARS ; for the new charter, and for the shorter period of fifteen years, the Bank is to pay two hundred thousand dollars a year ; that is to say, three millions ix all. 2. The circulation of small checks and orders is prohibited. 3. All notes issued at any office shall be pay. j able at that office. 4. All the offices are bound to receive the notes oi all other offices, when offered in. pay ment of balances due from State banka. ! 5. The very important power is reserved of j j restraining the circulation of all bills under twen- ■ ty dollars. This provision was inserted for the ! alleged purpose of giving up a large portion of the circulation of the Bank to the Stats institu tions, if the States shall be of opinion, that the public good requires a withdrawal from circula. tion of all notes under five dollars, with a view to the introduction of a greater portion of opecie into the general circulation. 6. The number of Branches is limited to two in any one State. In Committee of the "Whole a section was in. froduced for distributing the bonus among the; several States, according to numbers; butthis section was subsequently rejected, and the mo- ■ ney is to be paid, like other public monies, into the National Treasury. It seems to us that this bill very fairly presents the question, whether the Bank of the United ; States shall be continued ; since it introduces no: 1 new cause of dispute, but, on the contrary, con tains several restraints on the Bank, introduced to give greater security to the public interests. rXIOX MEETING IN SOUTH-CAROLIVA. At a meeting on the 12th instant, in Charie st an, of a very large namber of the Union and State Rights Party, 1 the following resolutions were adopted:— Therefore Resolved, That Delegates shouldt| be appointed by the Union Party to meet Dele- ! | gates from rhe other election Districts of the'; State of South Carolina, at Columbia, on thei! first Monday in September next, to take into: consideration, the expediency of a Southern: Convention, and to concentrate the action of the party in relation thereto. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet ing, a Southern Convention should be called in, 1 the event of Congress adjourning without a sat. isfaetory adjustment of the Tariff. Resolved; That our Fellow-Citizens of the! Union. Party throughout the State, be invited to meet in their several districts, and take mea-U i i*ure« far procuring a fall attendance at the ■ meeting of Delegates in Columbia. i Resolved, That a Committee of be ap r' ■ pointed to select an Orator, and make arrange- merits for the suitable celebration of the coming i- Anniversary of our National Independence, t Resolved, That having unabated confidence 3 in the integrity and public virtue of ANDREW 1 JACKSON, and considering the signal ability . with which the relations of the country have . been conducted under his administration, v/e will > persevere in a steady, and zealous support of his cj re-election cs President of the United States. 3 ' Previous to the adoption of the foregoing resolutions, )|lMr. Richard Yeadon, Jun. oiTered the following resolu- J'.tion, which was unanimously adopted:— Ml Resolved, That the Hon. John Forsyth, of Georgia, is entitled to the warmest thanks of the {r . 7 2 Union Party of South Carolina, for his manly ■ 1 and generous defence, in the Senate of United t Sta f es, of their principles and motives, whengra • |jtuitously assailed and traduced, by a Senator of ij .heir own S-ais, in secret session of the^Se- L | Udtd» 1 i . - -r TUK PUBLIC LA’.n?. This branch of the public revenue has, fora few years past, attracted the attention of our most distinguished politicians, especially in the West, where the position is assumed, that the public lands belong to the States, ; respectively, in which they lie, and not to the United States. - Such a position is not sanctioned by the federal ■ constitution, by the laws establishing the territorial go. vernments of the west, before the territories were ad mitted into the Union as States, nor by the laws which admitted those territories into the Union. The three ■ other section* of the Union do not participate with the west in the opinion it has expressed. We hope the question, though a very important one, will be arnica. “ bly settled, to the entire satisfaction of all parties, how. ' ■ ever different may be the views entertained by the wise . | men of tiie country, of the disposition which should be .made of the lands and of their proceeds. We caH the jattention of the reader to the following, taken from the National Intelligencer of June 11. “ Among the numerous interesting reports | and public documents which we have been un j able to present to our readers, is the Report of : the Committee on the Public Lands, in the j House of Representatives, (of which Mr. Wick- I LiFFt. is the Chairman.) upon so much of the j Annual Report of the Secretary of the Trea ijsury as relates to the Public Lands. Having | heretofore presented a sketch of tire report of I Mr. Clay, in the Senate, on the same general subject, we will endeavor to give a fair abstract of Mr. Wickliffe’s Report, which takes a dif ferent view of the subject. “ This report expresses a decided opposition to the views of the Secretary of the Treasury, upon the subject of disposing of the Public Lands to the several States in which they res pectively are situated, and of a division of the proceeds of the sale thereof among the several States. “ The public lands are regarded, in the re port, as one of the sources of public revenue, i and the proceeds arising from the sales thereof j are argued to be as much the public revenue as the proceeds of the custom-house. The power of Congress is said to be the same over both, and the one can be as well divided out among the States, for State purposes, as the other. The power so to divide either is denied by the report. “ The report proceeds upon the presumption that the Law of Congress, and the changes of the system -by which the United States have ac quired and disposed of the Public Lands, are understood by the community. The committee has therefore refrained from going much into j detail on these points. There is, however, at. | tuched to this Report some tabular statements, which will be of great utility to those who arc in pursuit of accurate and detailed information I as to the costa and expenditures on account of the public lands, the quantity sold and unsold in each State and Territory, and, what has not before been published, a statement of the amount abated or relinquished by the United States of the purchase money of the Public Lands, (sold under the credit system,) by the operation of the Relief Laws of 1821-2-3.4-6-8 and 1830 ; by which statement it appears, that the whole number of acres relinquished was 4,602,564 11-100; the purchase money due on the same being stated to have been 814,983,631 10. “ The Report assumes it to be the duty of Congress to reduce the revenue of the Govern ment “ to the reasonable demands of the public service, after the payment of the National debt.” This reduction, it is earnestly recommended, should be made at the present session of Con gress. “ The committee declare themselves to be op posed to the abstraction of the proceeds of the sale of the public lands from the revenue of the Government, but urge that the price of the pub lic lands should bo reduced for the two-fold pur pose, first, of reducing the amount of revenue derived from the sales thereof, and secondly, with the view of placing it more immediately within the power of every man, however poor, to acquire a home for his family. “ The report adverts to the effects upon the Western States of annually withdrawing so much money from the West as the price of these j lands amount to, and expending it in other por tions under the present system, mitigated, as it has often been, by the justice and liberality of the National Legislature, and deprecates the state of things which it declares to be inevitable, I should the funds arising from the sales of the public lands be divided in any form, and in any ratio, among the several States for State pur poses. • “ The Report recommends that Congress should retain the unrestricted control of the pub lic domain, and that the national legislation over the same should be guarded by a policy which shall regard it rather as a mean to build up | flourishing communities, than as a profitable j source of revenue to the General Government,: or of wealth to the individual States. Upon! this subject we will conclude this abstract by! quoting the language of the Report itself, as: j follows ; i “ The General Government should dispose of them upon terms accommodated to the wants of ;the community; and, when the unsold lands in; [the respective States shall become refuse, and ■no longer worth the expense of federal super |in‘endence and care, a relinquishment of them |to the State in which they lie, or to individuals*: ; would be the better policy. ! “It is not probable th&f the Government-will [again be placed in a condition when it will be-! 'come necessary to resort to her public domain, [either as the means of raising an army or of. : borrowing money. I “ The committee have expressed the opinion i that the period is approaching, if it has not al , ready arrived, when it would be sound policy to ! reduce the price of the public lands. Argu ment*, other than the necessity of ridding the, 1 Treasury of the revenue derived from sales at the present price, in favor of a reduction of the • price of the public lands, could be advanced, if - that were the question now under the considera z tion of the committee. The price was reduced in 1821, from two dollars to one dollar & twen -2 ty-five cents per acre. Real estate, in common with every other species of property, lias de f creased in value since that time. The price of 3 labor has lessened. The appreciation in the 1 value of the circulating medium cince 1921, has 3 been very considerable, and still the price of Ithe public land is the same now as then. It i, 'should not be forgotten, either, that, in most of - the new States, the best and choice lands have been sold. f “ Should the revenue arising from the sales of public lands be no longer needed for national .• purposes, and the reduction of the price will not j have the effect of preventing a too rapid aceu . initiation of national treasure, would it not be f better policy to give to every one of full age, . or who is the head of a family, who would or cupy, cultivate and improve the same, a tract of land that he may cal! his own, than to sell ihc-se lan,ls to the States, or to divide the pro cesda among them 1” j VEVV HAMPSHIRE. 1 The Legislature of this State met al Concord or the ’ 6th inst.
