And j th- • wh n tlic gjftd sense of the people shall detect this j s>x i d •partnro from principles which should actuate tlie‘‘ conduct ni statesmen, by changing unworthy and facto us! representatives, for worthy a«d patriotic ones; the whole cause ofijuarre! will !>c amicafdy adjusted; undl tiiat :!ut change will ere long bo etfeetd. It is iliiilcult to controvert tiie most of these positions, p Tiio course recommended by this pordiin ot the com-;! muiiity has much ol reason and g.iod sense to commend' it to our attention; would it not be the p irt oi prudence n.hl i! is him at least, to trust our cause, for another scs-: siou of Congress, and even for another, before either of ffic other remedies (if indeed they arc entitled to the, n line) are adopted’ Tho next in the order of our subject is “ a Southern Convention," in which, unofficially, tho states would ho represented by delegates to meet at some central post- • i! ft on, . < 'olutu'u t, s. t'. has been suggested) to agree upon some “ mode of redros.;,” in which all the South cm or a-videveil st ites slumld concur. This remedy 1 has been proposed, doubtless, by a groat majority of its t n ivocau s, as ,m antidote against the project of Null idea-, t.r;. i.l not as one which promise*; to accomplish the J di .n .! object more speedily than the appln alion of they fixed n tnedy, viz; —Remonstrance, reason and argument. The aggrieved States, having spoken already by their Legislatures, a language to Congress not to be misuu-• derstood—it is not to be supposed that a resort to Con vention would accelerate redress. B ♦ t has been from some quarter proposed that the convention should be! vested with powers by the people to present the altcriia-d five distinctly tb Congress —“Either to abandon ‘tho/ protective system’ or tho Union:” That the southern', st.it e< in united co-:nc:l have “calculated the value of 1 the Union,” and prefer disunion to bearing longer with the Tariff of protection. It will beat once perceived that j this plan would possess at tire least, me signal advantage; mar nullification; in this, that the stater, would not all be driv.it against their judgments and wills into a civil war,, without theireonstnt, and being permitted to exert dis-ji ■ a.non in the matter. If the consequences should prove ; disastrous, each state would blame itself as well as the: others, whereas, in the null ideation remedy the states' would prr.bald.il be drawn into the contest, nolens volets. 1 The southern Convention then, is in our estimation, a constitution d proceeding, and can do no harm provide I ! rash measures are not advised. Amt should the people ; believe they will benefit by a disunion vj these states, | rather than try it for a tv w years longer— I why, the south- j xti Convention in which till tho states complaining o! j injury would have a voice, would perhaps be tho most | constitutional, safe, sure and peaceable plan that could ; be adopted. Let every citizen examine himself and say ; ;;i his ouselfnre. if he believes the Union should be bfo- ; hen for tin injuries himself, or any of his neighbors ox- ; peril nee at its hands. I We now proceed finally to a brief no'ice of the k ice’s : d, ..-trine of nullification, snd ns it has incidentally been | noticed in the previous enquiries, it will be superfluous • ■ i ■ nter at large into its mysteries—for, if it be true, it,! n.>ss> ssi'S one indication of residing where that is said to I he found, “in the bottom of a well”—it is indeed to our i apprehensions very deeply buried. By the Constitution ! i>: the United States, “The Judicial power extends to all eas< s in f/iw atid Equity arising under the Constitution, or Laws of the United States.” The Tariff Laws come within the description. By the nullification party it is, b< I! that the judicial poirers ol the United States can bo exercised bv any one ot the twenty-four states, when it j s tr.i! choose to pronounce a law unconstitutional-—so ( that, to give a state jurisdiction, it is simply necessary ! to declare a lair unconstitutional, and the state may ; pronounce her judgment, and her tie are is final, unless the Congress call a convention of the States, in which case, if six siates, besides the state passing tho decree i •cneur, the luw is abolished and the decree final. In the ( mean time, while this process is going on, the state i •'.lt. n<x in judgment is released from all obligation to the j law liius repealed ; while all the other twenty-three are i > informing to it. In other words, the nuliifiers are lib- , ' t:ii enough to consent, that three-fourths ot the states j • ■ required by the Constitution of the United States to j amend the Constitution—and that by the nuliifiers con stitution, one state over one fourth can aboiisu tne a- Meudinent, or pluck from anv part of the constitution; j any power already conferred. It is contended mat the, ft tnedy of nullification is a sa'e, peaceable and consrii u- , ■ >t'ia! mode of procuring redress, for usurpations of the;| federal government. That it has been repeatedly tried | -•nu succeeded. It may be stile and peaceable—whether/ ,t ;s constitutional is auother quosuon ; but that itobas ! i icn repeatedly tried, and successful upon the proposed i \ -d t! " nu’iifi >r' of ik. Carolina wg deny—the eas- * _ * ■; ' it/ 1 aa, ot t!;e ALun :o-.l cmgitiioa iiav. s, has t>t£i)„n fr<-n tentiy cited.

Georgia nullification and South In Car-dina nullification. The grand marks of dissimtlarity .1 between the two ca-r are brief!'.' these :—Georg a ha? |m not taken upon hrrsclfto become the champion ami :c: counsellor of .six other s'afe?, and involve them in a revo- r : lution without their consent, and against their repeated Ini remonstrances and protests. She has never contcmpla- ijdi ted opfios'mgby force a law of the Union in full operation jc< over all *dtc states and citizens. She has simply stood ! p< up in h-r own defence, when her rights alone were co::- !c cerned—when the rio-htsof other states in common with ;d; her own wi re menaced, she lias had too much self re- jn ?pect, and respect for the dignity ot other states to sot tl herself a;) a j a judge ut the “inode and measure oi re- a: dress” for others. Mo Soot'. Carolina on the contrary, assumes the office ol : id. champion, counsellor .and dictator to the other states d. having >-.pial injuries to redress, equal rights at stake,, A and equal sovereign powers with herself. The other wx states say to her, we are equally interested with you in jai opposing the American system, and we are as determined g ncvi r to give up our opposition to “it as you are—but we . y an- deeply interested in preserving the integrity of the w fi deral constitution and tlic union ot the states, xve can- ; not forget that while y “ A thousand years scarce form ct state, An hour, may lay it in the dust .” ** Wc are willing to iirute with you in any constitution- j e al mode of resisting the encroachments of the federal o government —lout we cuniiot consent yet to place tlic c union upon a pivot which the shgliest breeze may scat- b j ter into its original fragments. \S edo not believe that - ,i 1 the people of the .southern states are oppressed to that u 1 extent, as to justify theit* resorting to all the evds of a I ° ! sanguinary revolution to shake off their oppressions.

Was an administration of tho federal government seeking a perpetuation ol its power !</ the nicans ot arm trary laws by an usurpation of po\ver, infringing the . liberty of the citizen and the press?

Georgia bore herself nobly in tlic cause ofjj; the lights of the states, and the integrity of the federal jjl : constitution. Was the distinguished son of the House ofjj c Quincy, elevated to the presidency against the will ofjj l the American people by intrigue and a corrupt coalition ? j; Georgia apposed with all her powers the success of j; the ‘ oalition, and when overpowered, supported that j l administration when right, and opposed it when wrong; jlc “ judging it by its measures. Did it become necessary | t during that administration, to stand alone Against usur-j , patioii of power, and a disregard and contempt oi the rights of the state ? Georgia with her Troup at her ( holm at home, and her first citizens in Congress, de- 1 clarudlhe rights of the state, and eventually by the mo. jt ral force of her righteous cause, prevailed over her j enemies and secured a triumph for state rights. \t as it j; due to the sovereignty of the people, and die purity oi our institution, tiiat the second oi the House nt Quincy 1 should be driven from power; andapatriot, and a states-j t man placed in flic Presidency ? Georgia, magnanimous-j , !ly forgetting and forgiving minor objections, boldly j I stood forward iti the cause of the country, rescued it j 1 ! from misrule, and placed General Jackson, who has: | ; created “ u second declaration of Independence.” by his j i veto ...f the United States Dank Bill—and whose pur-1j A pose it is, and has been, ta administer the government |L upon the most approved Republican model.

The'\ people of Georgia, are not to be. cajoled into the de?pc- ! | s ! rate war against Gen. Jackson, that the Vice President is jjl :j wauitig.

I 5 We have in all our controcersies with the government, j: 1 i taken especial care to place ourselves so clearly and /wri-jjt . p ibly in the right, that success has uniformly crowned) i : our cause.

However, a variety of circumstances, not necessary here to enumerate, would have pre vented my attendance had I even been aware j of our meeting in time. 'J 0 1 From an expression in your letter of invita- a tion, I infer, 1 hat. at least, one object of your ; i,fitting was to suppress the prevalence and 1 comitm-nct tlid mischievous influence of tha - j heresy called « Kullilleaf‘“b” 1 once thought ;j it more formidable than i now regal'.' 1 i • 1j( once appreliended that it would involve ns hn-'f mediately in a scene of blood-shed and war with , the federal authorities—my opinion now is, that * it would end in a disgraceful abortion, or, if it did violence and harm any where, or to any bo tly, it would be to ourselves and within our own it state. It is now well understood that, in the ! t event of nullification by our state, the Federal t Government will blockade all our ports by do- c tachments from the Federal Navy—all foreign goods will he prevented from coming into oiir harbors until they have first been examined and J the duties on them secured in some port in ano- ■ ther state —the Nulliliers may cull this a decla- ( ration of war against South-Carolina by the Federal Government if they will. The Fede ral Government will disregard it, and what will A it amount to ? South-Carolina will have no na- [l' vy, nor tile means of raising a navy, to remove j the blockade. The Nulliliers may call on G. H 1 Britain for help, if they choose, Great Britain i will be deaf to their solicitations. Siie would:] not he so mad (all principle and national law a side,) as to forfeit the friendship and commerce of twenty-three states to preserve intercourse aiid good fellowship with S. C. alone. What,! under such circumstances are the Nullifiers to do? Organizea laridtlrmy to march on to Washington i to regulate “ Uncle Bam aiid his lazy dogs ? Such an enterprize would be as futile and lu-, dicrous as “the attack of Don Quixote upon the wind mills.” For the honor of my native state' 1 hope “nullification,” will never be used. by. any j portion of her citizens, otherwise than as I7a.rt\\ declamation. Wo have had s» recent modiSca- ■ tion of the Tariff. It is not so great and so sat- ; isf?-Ctory as I could have desired, but it is much.] better than our nullifying friends would repre- ] sent it: and in due time we expect farther reduc tions of the duties. There are many reasons why we should entertain expectations of this kind: I have not room to detail them in this com munication. but they will readily occur to you. If in the mean time, the people of South Caro lina, and, of the south generally, are unwilling to a Wait patiently the subsequent action of Con- j gress upon the Tariff; if they must be doing! something, let them pursue such measures as.i arc calculated to bring about “a Southern Con-“i vention,” such as I have heretofore recommend- I ed. Let each district ia the state send delegates ; to a state convention to meet at Columbia in Bep- 1 tember next, according to the recommendation ' of the “Union Party, ia Charleston—and I J think it would be well to proceed with this fiiea-]! sure at all events, as it will take some time to organize a “Southern Convention,” and concen- j trate the efforts of the whole south for the re dress of our grievances—while this is dbintr. should Congress modify the tariff to our satisfac tion, there will be no harm done; and should our expectations upon Congress be disappointed, m»' time will have been lost, and we will have noth ing to reproach ourselves with. I would be glad, to say much more to you, but I have no. room, I and it is the less as my views on these* topics will soon appear in sundry cotnmmhca -1 inns to Eli ors oV newspapers, Ac.
