Hot i may be asked, if the other States shall postpone or cv.ulc all action, at this tune, what thou is South Carolina to do ? \\ e answer, waif ~n them patently, with the toolings of fraternal lorhe trance, and urge them long and earnestly to unite with us before we separate from thorn in ilii., cause. Their time will come, and hey must , lC t with us as certainly .as oppression begets re sistance, and no elU't more certainly follows its appropriate cause. Whatever delay may occur, fbi.i course is the clearest and will he found the shortest, too, to a successf ul and triumphant re. , sail. Wo do not counsel acquiescence Tut re. sislaiu c, deep, settled, effective resistance, But our counsel (earnest, honest, and vve hdpo it may I he availing,) is not to pursue the object precipi tate! v or alone. That would we fear prove to be abortive resistance and, if.so, would be the most lulbrlunale of all courses ol*ct ion—-even worse than acquiescence. 'I hough, at least, six other Stati s are equally interested with ourselves, we Jiav: vet made no effort whatever to unite them with us. —We confess this fact strikes us with great surprise, and we arc not a little at a loss to account for it. We shall not think it a fit time ibr separate action, until every possible effort •shall be used to make it a common cause in re sistance as it is in suffering. Wc almost doubt, whether we shall deem it to have been long ■-nough be to re 'he people to authorize decisive :union until the whole South shall unite in one opinion and shall rrrreVfStm impulse. Do we contemplate, then, in no event, a course o*’ s parale action ! If the other Southern States shall not awake to a just sense of their suffering,, d m o r and disgrace, shall Sou'h-Carohna muKe no .dibi tto right her Self? Wo cannot admit, these to be admissible questions, ul flits time. W'r would almost us readily admit that our sister States, w ho are in vol vod.m the common suff-i mg, were insensible to interest, to honor or t» shame. Whether right or wrong, we are ahead ot our neighbors in our excitement. But whether right •hr wroii'S it is a deference Wo owe to them not m act, towards them, as if they were wrong. We are to season with them, aswitli ourbrot lor, not seven times but seventy times seven, belore we separate from them in tins cause. We have said, that the proposed Congress should meet at RJUmond.—We are aware that this place is not he most central, but that, we think, is a small matter, and wo think there will he a good omen in making the Capital ol the Old 1 tominion the point of assemblage. \V e Y..tight the. first good fight lor Constitutional ininciplos under her wing. Slieis nalurallv an properly the head of the Southern portion ot the I uiou. We would for ourselves, wo confess, tel pride rather than humiliation in paying her tins respect. It mav prevent competition. It will probably souse m her the spirit of former times, which, we are sorry to say, has appeared to languish in her for some time past. To ask her hospitality, as it vVero, will bo to put her on her chivalry and, if once her spirit be up, we will be responsible for her deeds, tdie cannot refuse to authorize delegates to meet those ot the other Southern States in her own Capital. She would feel, were she to do so, that she had be come recreant to her high eminence and, wc hope, still high destiny. She would be made emphatically responsible for the fate of Southern rights. She will not, she cannot tamper with, them, and, if she takes the course that becomes' her, all will follow her. —She will see when a Southern Con gross shall meet in her Capital, thaC our views have been grossly misrepresented and that no little factious designs lurk under cover oi ir avowed principles— that our objects are pure, and patriotic, and she will feel the duty oi unit ing and making common cause with tue other Southern Stales. But the place of meeting is quite a minor point. Wc propose it with a v iew to harmonize, to suppress jealousies and to make a venerated point the point ol Uilioli. Meet anv where, meet any how, only meet. Let the Soudi meet the South and their interests and honor will be, at least, in sate hands. The oppressor will no longer talk of Indcpen dent States committing treason, and threaten their citizens who may obey their sovereign mandates with the punishment ot that crime. But why should there be any more doubt of the adoption of this remedy, than there can be rea sonably entertained of its efficacy Do riot all the Southern States loudly complain ■ l) 1 not pronounce the subjects ot theircomp amts to be unconstitutional and oppressive acts, an arc nut these acts enforced every day 1 ’ “ ! ieu free States be so insensible to such gross viola tions of their most sacred rights, as not cheer fully to meet their fellow-sufferers for the sate and prudent purpose of exchanging views ontne subject of their common sufferings and of the means of arresting them? We will not, how. ever, dissemble. We may bo disappoiujed. M c do admit that a paralysis seems to have seized the minds of the suffering States which, as it Ttstonigbes us, so ought it to make us less oonfi dent in our expectations of effective and con. certed action among them. Who could have be iieved that these States would have 51 tiered for ten years these unconstitutional, unjost, unequal and oppressive laws without any of them making advances to a common effort ! We ven j. ture to say that history furnishes no example, 1 not reprobated by it, of States whose grievances ! were so identical, to w hom combination was So naturally suggested, who for such a period oi .time proclaimed and bewailed their grievances, ami yet never om-e proposed a Union of effort ! '■ i.et the people ponder on this extraordinary fact, ■j On tin's point we have been alike guilty with I the other States, for wc cannot consider a clamor tons denunciation of the evil, without any direct effort towards a united resistance us a merit— inueli 1* ss can we consider as a merit, efforts to. I( wards separate action, under doubtful doctrines, tu speak of them in no other than respectful terms, which have sown the seeds of discord and division, where those of Union should have been scattered deep and wide-—But if, indeed, it be possible that our sister States who suffer with us, can be content to bear their chains, to submit to their oppressors, to cherish their vassalage, the sooner wo know it the belter. Then, indeed, it will be time to think and talk of separate action, but not till then; and to believe that this time! w ill ever come would be uncharitable and unkind, to our brethren, and to give utterance to the idea,' we hope, would be a foul slander. Let then the j I Southern States unite in this great common| (j cause. Let South-C'arolina cease to talk of sepu-; rate action, which is another name for anarchy and division as well among the other suffering) States ;us among the people of that State. Let her endeavor to unite and harmonize both. Let any one of these States propose a concerted ef fort and we pledge ourselves, the rest will promptly and cheerfully follow. Let us with reasonable patience wait on each other till each has meditated upon the subject.. Hitherto the States generally have been appealing to he justice of the majority, with too confiding a hope that it would have voluntarily granted a satis factory redress. The Southern States generally, are now.''fbr the first time thinking seriously ofj .the mode and measure of resistance. —South- 1 Carolina, it is true, has longer turned her thoughts in that direction, but she has onlv thought for herself. Her sisters have a right to Miink for themselves and to a little time to do so. Let us therefore wait on them for a short sea son. We shall gain in power all and more than we shall loose in time. In the mean time let us bo diligent in preparing the means of future ac- j tion. Let us speak aloud situ* wrongs, assort | steadily our rights, probe deeply and under stand thoroughly our true relations to the Union which have been an ever present stumbling block to our union of effort, enthralling our faculties by the fears (which wo believe to be utterly unfounded as long as it shall he, or be . capable of being made, a just •Government) that! are excited fur its safety;—make the Southern Slates draw near to each other, in thought and in counsel and prepare to make a common effort. During this intermediate time the first object should be u/lifllt III) and l»nvn : r»cr cred flame of States Rights, the next to throw its light with a clear- ami powerful effect upon the rights that are endangered or violated, and to group with them, in just, prominency, the insidi ous perils that surround them. The last, to which nil others tend. out the proper re dress of Southern wrongs and the proper Securi ties of Southern rights. Tn these exertions and labors, the Press should be diligently and pow fully employed, but neither in threatening fulim itations nor imbecile complaints ; not in crimin ations and recriminations between the common friends of the common cause; not in Billings gate vituperation, not in the strife offactious ex citcmont, not in effecting the triumph of little party power, but in the great arid diViae charity 'of uniting the people of the country in the Country’s cause; hy clear, forcible, intellectual expositions of the rights of the States, of the val- j ue of these rights and the danger of their viola-; lion; and of the principles of the Union and its; operation, legal and moral, upon the States, of the consequent value of it and, it we may be j tolerated, of the danger ot it; —and of the means, of preserving the balance between it and thej State Sovereignties: and nothing should be more studiously avoided than the use of false and un sound principles and arguments. 'I hoy never served a good cause. In the labors ot the press those light, flippant and pungent paragraphs; that sparkle or amuse are not enough. They 1 nevertheless have their place and their value. . They resemble the airy foam that sports upon! the wave and gives it brilliancy, but it is thej great ground swell that heaves the aeep to oui Siorc/to which we would compare the proper, and most useful labors ol the press on this occa sion. But while we have thus reasoned against im politic haste, we arc fully aware (and we ea ■ treat our brethren of the South generally to pon j dor on this important truth) of the equal danger ■of a too dilatory movement. It may be equally ! as injurious to check the public feeling too long as to allow it to take a wrong direction. On manv occasions apathy is another term foi the 1 prostration of the national spirit and the degra dation of the national character. I nnecessary delay is that species of discipline which best pfe • pares the nock of a free people to bear the yoke of unjust power; those therefore who ought to think arid act together on these momentous ques tions ought not to delay their deliberations till these evils affect cither the cause or the charac ter of the country. We are now moving on a stormv sea, but we may soon lie motionless un dcr a "lifeless calm. One judicious movement / will save us from the perils of both —one rash ! one mav subject us inevitably to the evils of both. •I ft is in* the power of Virginia, North Carolina, • South Carolina, Georgia, any one State, by pro- I posing a measure ot concerted action (a souther n • i Convention or anv other course of united action’ > Ito pour oil upon the agitated waves, to still this • j stormv sea, and give the barque so deeply 1 ' freighted with precious southern interests, a sah - i direction and a favorable gale.—Canuot # om - ; State be found to throw off its slumberous torpo; 3 1 or its factious feverishness and perform this greu I ! w ork of patriotism I We must believe that sue! 1 a herald of peace and good will to men will no j ■ l be long wanting. We will therefore suppos. p i ourselves at that point of time at which we hop* i to see the whole of the Southern States dispose t to make common cause, and we urge them r - commence their conjoint deliberations a? -- Jy as possible. Lot a Southern Congress meet - (not with precipitation hut) as speedily as the r ; mutual views of the states can be concen’rated ! upon the point. If wo could see them in coun -11 oil together, we should think all danger over and - .every desirable object in a fairway of accom . i plishment. Neither the indiscreet zeal of one s!;state, nor the too great apathy of another, nor jj j the conflicting views of all, nor the violence of i l!demagogues, nor the ambition of individuals,l ,j ; could mar the general action. The majority of ?■ 1 minds,having uniform interests and feelings, ns ~ would bo the fact in a Southern Congress, would 1, command the concurrence ofall and give the best - direction to the efforts of ail. t We are aware of but three objections that have - been stated to the proposition of aSo n hern Con - - vention or Congress. , i Ist. That the other Southern States will not 1 1 concur with us. i 2d. That it is unconstitutional. 1 3d. That nullification is the rightful remedy, ! •■ I nnd that tins necessarily supersedes a Southern , 1 Congress. 1, The two first objections shall cost us little la- ■ •llbdr. We consider them as preposterous. They f 11 are, in the truest sens*, of the figure, “a tub I .hthrown to the whale !” We rust, however, that ' 1 7 7 I 1 those who have ventured to urge them haven , 1 deemed too humbly of th« public intellect. The\; jiexamination of the first we have, in part, anti- j i| cipated. Indeed we may say, we have despatch, j |ed the subject. We have exhibited the nature , j and character of the questions at issue, from | i which it has appeared that they are of the ut- { j most importance—'hat it behooves ail thesei . states, alike, to deliberate find lo act upon them,' and that united action affords he best, if not‘be! only hope of jujt, peaceable ami adequate re dress, and we have asked why all these “rate?;; will not probably join in a Southern Congress ?ji No answer has been given. Wo say none can if be given, of a negative character, that does no- 1 evade the question. The answer, the only au-.j swer, that has been given, viz.— ‘ k lf we do pr ;j pose it, the o'her states will not concur wi h us/':: admits, that if practicable, it (flight to be adopt J ; ed ; which is but to admit, what “folly or blind-T i ness only could refuse” to admit :—that union is;: i beiter than discord, and that strength is better!! 7 . > o j than weakness. It is then proved, dumonstra- |j ted, admitted, that, if it be practicable, a south-!/ ern Congress will be a wise and politic measure, j! 1 I Now for the objection.—The other states it is i said will not agree to it. This Is assertion wi. h-q I Out evidence and against evidence. The evi-ii i'doncc that they will is that they ought, and cer-n plainly it is a very strong evidence, unless we in-/ I validate it by* impugning their character as j I wanting in wisdom and patriotism. We enquire!) “Why will they not ?” Now mark the answer:!) “ Because they* have no* hitherto proposed it.”|| I This we think has been exceedingly unfortunate )t :,and culpable in them, but we hardly think wc | ' can consider it as a very satisfactory argument. j| I We must “ bo to their faul*s a little blind,” un- j less we mean to inculpate ourselves. We, who j were most particularly bound to have done i:, ; have not proposed it. Those who called most ! l , -, /. r _ most louuiv Irhfzrlljr auxeit- — 1 . - ■ of the evil, who urged the people lo action with; ‘the greatest vehemence, were certainly bound toi point out the measure of action, and of course, 1 the best measure; which this is proved and ad-1 milled to be. The circumstances in which S. : Carolina is and has been placed, and in which;! she iias voluntarily* placed herself, bound her, not to rush rashly, indecorously* and without pre paration into action, but to propose, and to pro- , pose in due time, the best measure for the joint 'action of the people and states whom she has been so long passionately addressing on the sub ject. It is Still her duty, and wy think she cam find no excuse for an unwise, rash, precipitous 1 land dangerous course of separate action, which) 'she urges on her own citizens, in the alleged): ' and premature despair ol the wisdom and patri-j otism of her sister stales which she has ventured II to put forth'. We like much better the spirit of ) the modest but determined hope of the gallant. | j Colonel Miller, at the battle of Chippewa, in aj /case that might have inspired despair. His Go-. ■ neral asked him if bethought he could take, with .! ! the points of his bayonets, the enemy’s artillery,*! I which was mowing down the American ranks, j 1 The modest answer offthe hero was,“l will try.”) lie w*as successful, and his words remain the; motto of his Regiment and attest on every button I that it wears, the glorious success. Let us a-, dopt them for our motto, and hail them as a good. | omen in this cause ! “Let us try” to get our: .! brethren to concur with us before we brand them, ! with recreancy cr apathy to their high duties.) .1 We think they will sns'ain their past character j •i for fidelity to their rights and to their brethren.' The unconstitutional! fy of a Southern Con .i'gress is still more presposterous, and we shall' 11 put it down by a single word, and that from the: . I mouth of the objectors. TljQ proposition ( that delegates from the several States shall meet.) . together at some fit place & time, and deliberate - 1 on tho dangers which beset their common in- 1 ' •| terests, and on the remedy. Th proposition is,; j r | only that they shall deliberate. Now the States') I I Rights Party*,who make this objection, assert that Y the States are respectively unlimited Sovereigns!) . We too admit it—we too assert it. But what;; ,/ species of unlimited Sovereigns are those which: - i are incapable of joining a neighboring Sovreign-; ; ;tv iii counsel and dehoeraUeg .* Statcc, as have: 5 i done those of the Union, sometimes restrain their - 'actions bv compact, but we do not recollect any 1 {compact between Sovereign States which has .1 sunk any of them to the ignominious degrada-| 1 tion of being denied the right ot united delibera-! . tiofi. Tot such are the sad perversions of in-, t tellect to which civil disputes give rise, that here' 1 are the writers of the States Rights Party, who; 'set themselves up almost as the exclusive assser-j tors of the Riga's and Sovereignty of the Stales,) '- denying the right of these very same States to a deliberate together ! 0 shame ! Wc put it to ) the good sense of the most unlettered man in the s,icountry to say, whether the assertion is not ut v jterlv false and unfounded. w ! They say that by the Constitution of the Unit, c ed States, the States arc forbidden to enter into »r compacts or agreements with each other ; But is it it not most evident, that to dciiieratc merely on h their grievances and their remedies, is not to ; ,t bind themselves by compact or agreement ! But ;e the provision of the Constitution is, that “no >e : ‘ State shall, without the consent of Congress, en ;d ter into any agreement or compact with another to State.” How, then, can they ask the consent li- 'of Congress, unless they previously deliberate t iqxin the sulwhich is to receive its assent ?,a So f>r from juicidal doctrine being true, the c I Constitution lie United States will he; truly p expounded lying, “ Ihe States may in till n ! cases delibepn all subjects, and with ihecon. >u . fsent of Conj enter into all agreements or, I compacts wher.” Unless, indeed, it shall |-• 1 be asserted, tthe States must obtain the ti ‘•sent of Coqgto their acts pf deliberation as. n j( well as to theompucts and agreements, ano j *■ we may ima an Act of Congress, the title; a lof which shaias follows : “ An act granting | v the humble pon of our loyal States \ irgin-;, ia, North-Crna, Sou h-Carolina, Georgia,; t A:c. <Scc. tc cene and deliberate, Arc.”—Are these tKe doctis of the champions ot States, s Rights ?

We believe, though we do not assert it, as we have not the time to investigate the point, that the Status have entered into many compacts with each other, without at all soliciting the acquiescence of Congress—for example, in relation to their territory* and territorial boundaries. —W r e know that there have been compacts between North- Carolina and Georgia, respectively, and Sonth- Carolina, on these subjects, and, we trust, these Slates never asked the consent of Congress to them ; though after what we know has been done and asserted in relation to Indian fro atics, we shall not be greatly surprised, il the en grossing habits of th,e General Government shall appear to have exercised this inadmissible control over our soil and Sovereignly ; yet we sincerely hope it will be found that we have made no such degrading submission. \\ c arc done with this,subject, and we iuak we niayfsay, without arrogance, that wc shall have left no doubt on the mind of any person ot common , faculties (political zealots and bigots excepted, i of whom there is never any hope) that a South ; cm Congress, which shall assemble only for the purpose of deliberation, is beyond all qliesi.loll Constitutional. The last objection we shall first endeavor to define and state, and then consider it. We be lieve it to imply and assert : Ist. That Nullification is Constitutional, under the provisions of the compact of Union. 2d. That', that doctrine is the same us that which was asserted by Virginia, Kentuuky ail’d Mr, Jefferson. . 3d. That this doctrine is, in : ts nature and tendency*, calculated peaceably and speedily, tc remove the evils of which we complain, and ‘ 4th. That * l e other Southern States will, with 1 moral certainty, follow South-Carolina in adopt, jmg that species of Nullification which is thus 1 proposed. | The converse of all these propositions wc, or our part, undertake to maintain and prove; ou this is a labor we must defer ; as, in the languagi ! of the fraternity* of Reviewers, whose livery wi have put on, we have drawn this paper to ai unexpected length. We had too forgotten al I most that wc.arc Reviewers, and that if we whol I ly* neglect the functions we may be denied th j privileges ofour caste. We then say, that th address, of which the title is at the head of 011 t paper, is well and temperately written and cal I ciliated to invite the co-operation of the more ar ■: dent advocates of States Rights, to a union o j effort, and that we hope, this first step bavin I been made by their opponents, this party* wi j meet it by a corresponding advance on their pari 1 Thev can bv doing so accomplish so much publi good, that we think, if they can find a moniei , for cool deliberation, they can hardly refuse t meet this liberal advance of their opponents, i the spirit of conciliation. Let them believ i that it will be, alike, the spirit of patriotism . I that this spirit will soon fructify into beneticenc , j—that they can by a corresponding act of coi ; jciliation, probably unite the people of the Stai 1 ■ * Ours is a day of paradoxes and imaginations. Vi ’; have for years seen the finest talents of the nation e t ■ gaged, (while, what is called the collected wisdom j the nanon, was gravely listening,) in an endeavour . 'i prove the palpable fallacy that a tax on Imports is pr ~|| cisely identical with a tax on Exports!! We regr ‘/this because we have never known a good canse aid* Rby false arguments. We may, perhap?* bo:<7ufter e e*l amine thi° argnmen*' almost to a man, unite tlie Southern Spates, a-,j thieve the triumph of Southern redress, and 1 u peace and permanency* ot the I nion ; and give a high Ulus’ ration of the inherent power of tree , _ institutions to reform themselves without the ; t] violence and blood and miseries of Civil >' ar, ) All these great objects, wc think there is reason _ to believe, might be accomplished by. a healing. measure between the two great partiesdl t.ic State, and we think the’people of Sumter deserve, and we hope by the success of their effort m this work of conciliation, will secure, the. thinks o their fellow-citizens for being the first to hola, . the Olive forth. i ■ hi conclusion, we are sensible that o n suggestion and views, taken in their "ho e ex-; 1 tent, differ very much, from those which naAej been heretofore most prominently placed before the public, but we think they differ less Irom those; which arc pointed out by the examples ol histo- , rv. They arc, undoubtedly, drawn Irom the j best of these examples, and history is said to e / “nhylosophy teaching by example. ' v e k not published them with much contidenco that thev will be adopted. We think the south is ad vancing fast to a crisis of great interest and Ql no small danger. We think rashness not «is- , dom is ruling the hour, and we have, while we . vet mav be permitted to do so, thought it our duly to mix our opinions with those ot the other minds of the country, that they may 1 oir chance of being useful in the forming of the pub lic sentiment and governing the public action. We feel satisfied, that if our humble labors shall reach the public ear and escape the condemna tion of the factious spirit ot the moment, thtjy.j will be useful: and we are still better satisfied that we shall have no occasion to blush for them seven years hence. At present, it is quite pro bable, one party will cast them aside as feeble and spiritless, while another may denounce them as-covering dec*p designs against the Union, the unjustifiable alarm by which the most innocent and the most necessary investigations affecting our interests and liberty are put down and ihe mind of a large portion of the community “fright ed from its propriety.” ~For ourselves we shall contentedly leave both the. wisdom and the mo tives of what we have written to the arbitrament of that future time, whose judgement, we doubt !not, will be both impartial and just; not, howev er', without some hope, that, that just judgment will be anticipated by the present eventful mo ment. - • / , P. S. In what we have written, wo have been anxious to utter nothing personal, and as little ol lan exciting character as the necessary expres sion of our opinions and sentiments would i nsrmit. If we shall have trespassed on these views, we shall bo sorry for it. We know ■: that the Gentlemen who are the advocates ot j ! Nullification have their ranks crowded with i men of talent, honor and patriotism. But they ‘ know that this is equally true of their opponents. -\ll know that there are no disunion men,on the one side—all know that there are no submission ; men on the oilier. We, of course, admit that ) there may be solitary exceptions on bom sides, I hut we mean to state a general rule that is al ! most universal. At this ti»- "T"* nrnmruaUy , separates parties, is that extreme excitement which agitqtes and embitters both political and \ social life throughout the State. For ourselves 3 we do not suffer this excitement with either side, 1 but sorrow over it irt both ; and while wo have forborne hitherto to fan its fires, we have, on r this occasion, anxiously avoided adding fuel to • the flame. Pur.object is conciliation, not strife. We say to both unite and resist the oppression. We sav to the people unite and resist the oppres . sion.—But we say to all resist with enlightened > deliberation —rashness never saved a State, tho’ 1 it has prostrated many and put more in great peril —Fabius saved Rome ? *.
