non will, to all intents and purposes, be changed;!
and this power of a minority to alter the consti-|
tution, is deduced from the express provision!
that it shall not be altered by less than a majori-;
ty of three fourths. By the same rule, if una-;
nimity had been required in all amendments,
the constitution might have been changed by
anyone State. Such fallacy requires no ex
posure. A construction which destroys the text,
and gives to words an effect directly opposite to
their sense and meaning, is too gross for argu
ment.
Such are the objections to nullification in theo
ry. Bis not merely an infraction of the Con
stitution, hut a total abrogation of its authority.—
But in practice a dissolution of the Union is one
of the least of the dire calamities which it must
inflict on the country. A secession from the
Union might possibly take place in peace, and
would only impair our national defence, put our
independence in danger, and give us up as a prey
to foreign influence with its usual consequences
of domestic faction, and frequent wars. But
A 'uUijicalion in practice must produce a direct
collision between the authorities of the state and
those of the union. It would place both parties
under the necessity ofa conflict, and ensnare the
citizen between inconsistent duties, adding to
the disasters of war the cruelly of penal laws.
I? may be said by the advocates of unlHfication
that the s'aic is entitled to the unqualified alle
giance of its citizens, and that the decrees of a
state convention would supersede all other obli
gations. Without stopping to examine the cor
rectness of this doctrine, it may he conceded for
the purjioscs of argument, that if the State au
thorities command us to withdraw our allegiance
from the Genera! Government, we are hound to
obey. But Nullification professes to be a con
stiiu’ional remedy—and whilst it calls upon usj
to resist the constituted authorities, it commands!
I . . ,
impli it obedience to the Constitution of the Uni-1
-ted States ; can any thing less than humiliation
and defeat be expected from such a tissue of in
| consistencies ?
But if nullification be considered not as a con
stitutional power, but as a high prerogative, ami
nn exception justified by great emergencies, it
must iu principle be the same as the right of re
sistance which is recognized by the principle of
freedom, as a right paramount to all constitu
tions, and is but an application to the .state as a
political body of the same principle which pre
vails in every case between the people and the
Government. But as this exception is by its
very nature beyond all law, it cannot be incor
. porated into the rule of the Constitution. The
I question in all such cases is, whether the neces
i sty exists ; whether the magnitude of the evil is
such as to justify a resort t») revolutionary force.
We cherish a sacred attachment to the Con
stitution, and deplore and deprecate the effects
of that rage and passion, which in the correction
| of abuses would sweep away the inestimable in
unions of freedom, if nullification was not
i fatal to those institutions, there would be no di*.
4 pute among us, and when the vital and essential
I interes s of the State are in jeopady, we should
think no risk too great for their preservation in
j the last resort. But it would little comport with
patriotism or prudence, to incur all the calami-
I tics attendant on the destruction of social order,
i! any plan can he suggested for a removal of
the burthens of the Tariff* (already considerably
diminished) hy safer and more eligible means.
We believe that the times call loudly lor the
I adoption -of such a plan, and that no insupera-
I Me objections stand in the way ofa cordial co
operation of all parties. Let the Southern
| States meet in Convention and deliberate, as well
I en the infraction of their rights as on the mode
and measure of redress. The States of Vir
| ginia, North-Carol in a, Georgia, Tennessee, Ala
| kunn and Mississippi, are equally' concerned
I Villi us in all the consequences of the Tariff.
| If the freedom and prosperity of the one are in-
I volved in the issue, those of all the others are
equally concerned.
Whatever advantages may' be expected from
Nullification as a constitutional check, can only
■ be realised by a concurrence of the States that
flre interested, and such a co-operation appears
I to be clearly intimated by the Virginia Resolu-
I lions as the proper proceeding in such cases.
s .\ml if Nullification bo regarded as an appeal to
j the principle of resistance, it would be madness
to expect success without the support and conn-
I tenance of those States. If the States, which
are injuriously affected by the Protective Sys
| tern, concur in regarding the ordinary constitu-
I lional checks as insufficient to restrain the
I General Government within its proper sphere,
* such interposition as they may advise, will he
I most effectual, and productive of the smallest in
l jury.
I*ven those who support the opinion that Nul
-1 lificatlon is a constitutional and peaceful remedy,
i admit that it is only to be resorted to in extreme
| cases, and on the grounds of great public neces
sity. And how shall we bo satisfied of this
‘ necessity but by the support and concurrence of
I those States who are equally interested? Many
I causes may conspire to create an excitement in
| one State out of all proportion to the magnitude
I ol the evil. But if the excitement is general, and
prevails as widely as the mischief extends, we
I may ho assured that it does not proceed from
I prejudice or accidental causes, and that the crisis
| lias arrived lor the intervention ofanexlraordina
| r >’ remedy. It isdue to the veneration in which
If the Constitution ought to be held, to the respon-
I sibility which wc are under for preserving it in
violate, that no measure, involving in its con
| sequences, so essentially the stability ot the
X government, as Nullification confessedly does,
I ‘mould be undertaken, except by theconcurrence
s o; su <di a number of the States as are invested
: "ith the restraining or negative power in the
oase of amendments.
Such are the advantages of a Southern Con
vention. The objections to it may be easily
r -is posed ot. It is not unconstitutional. The
miles are prohibited from entering into treaties
"v confederacies among themselves. —But a
I Southern Convention will form no treaty or
I °onipactof any kind.—Their object will be to
deliberate, to enlighten and give effect to public
°pinioa : Nor will their deliberations be in-
I jurious to the Union. If the States who arc
I aggrieved by the Tariff laws act in concert, their
j claims will in all probability bo conceded —but
I u the very worst that can be imagined should
-appen, and their demands be capriciously rc
i Wed, it will be for the several States and not
[ tor the Convention to act on the subject. The
advice 0 f t ( le Convention will no doubt have
groat weight, but it will be a salutary influence
u legal control.
Iu the spirit of ami tv we make this appeal to
fellow citizens. The glorious inheritance
j p freedom is at stake. The same blow which
destroys the Union, levels to the ground the de
t'nccs of liberty. Under the Federal const it u
•on we have enjoyed all, which the patriots of
>e American Revolution desired to sec. Our
v-untry has increased in riches, in knowledge
• an 'J in honor. And those who offered up their
A OB * a the cause of America, would have closed
eyes in peace, if they could have been
- essed with a vision of that future which
■ enjoyed. The happiness of our citiz
! formed the admiration of the wise and
IgiX)d : and now when the scene is changed, and
discontents created by the acts of Government,
I have brought the Constitution itself into danger, |
■ it depends on the moderation and wisdom of the :
sons of liberty', to repay in some degree the debt I
of gratitude, by transmitting the same inheritance
to their posterity.

i Messrs. Guieu dj* Bunce, —An article in the

has induced me to beg you would republish the
toast of Charles E. Haynes, directed to the
| Hamburg Dinner. The “ youth ”is certainly
mistaken in supposing that “ an anxious desire
to serve the people, could induce him to write
one thing to the Hamburg Dinner and another
to the Richmond Committee;” unless he sup
poses the people are to be driven by every' wind
of doctrine. A reference to the letter and toast,
will explain both ; and it is to mo inconceiveable,
how an expression that the “ mutual relations |
of the union and sovereignty of the Stales de- j
pending upon the preservation of both ,” can be j
called as “ one thing ,” in contradistinction to his ;
opposition to nullificrtioii, as a doctrine calcu- I
dated neither to maintain the one, nor preserve j
the other, I know his opinions still are, the
“ union and sovereignty of the States ought to be
, i preserved, and that their union depends upon
1 their sovereignty, whilst the latter can only be
; preserved by a continuance of the former. In
; his letter to the Richmond Committee, lie calls
the “ tariff an oppression,” whilst he deprecates
its effects, as much as any man, he wholly- re
jects nullification as a remedy', choosing to a
jwait the directions of public opinion, and firmly
to pursue any remedy the united wisdom of the
1 j country may devise.
I am a citizen of Richmond, and yet I speak
: advisedly regarding his opinions, and as they
had been freely expressed to me long since, I
have deemed it a duty thus to vindicate one who
is prevented a defence by r the very nature ofthe
! attack, and whose opinions 1 had long since sup
posed above the charge of suspicion, because
whatever lie has considered lor the good of his
country, lias “ been freely and fully expressed .”

YOUR COUNTRYMAN.
For the Georgia Constitutionalist.
To tlic 31ec3iamcs of Gear^ia.
Gentlemen, —It wont be long before you are
called on to give your votes to candidates for
the State Legislature of Georgia, for Congress,
and for President and Vice-President of the U.
States. Let me impress it on your minds to be
careful how you vote. When you go to the;
polls to give in your votes, be sure to give them
j to such men as will represent your interest and 1
your country’s good, and not to men who wish
to sink you and your country into everlasting ;
ruin. Remember the political controversy that
now agitates the southern states, but more par
ticularly in Georgia ; a controversy raised mere
ly for speculation, office-seeking, &c. And
now, to tell you the plain fact, you might as
well vote for a discontented Turk, as to vote
for a dissatisfied Georgian, for neither one cares
any more about you, or the welfare of your
country, than a wild African cares about Jeru
salem. It is the desire of all peaceable citizens
that this public dispute should be set aside, and
tranquillity once more restored. It is well
known, that the threats the Nullifiers have put
out against the general government, have been
more to our injury than to our good ; and if
they arc pul in office, they w ill still do us more !
i injury. As to the oppression that has been
heaped upon the southern states, by Congress, 1
it is not the fault of northern representatives. In
1816, this very tariff*, that a portion of the |
southerners are making so much fuss about, was
supported by a majority of southern represen- i
tatives, and more particularly by John C. Cul-1
houn, now the leader of this nullification party,)
and Vice-President of the United States. Wei
know our wrongs, as w r ell as farmers, lawyers, j
doctors, or merchants do; but xve* must havej
patience ; w'e are not going to have our mouths:
filled with honey by blustering big words, or by)
threatening the Union with Disunion. Elect)
men to Congress that will use their best efforts
by fair and smooth argument, to do away this;
tariff; by showing how we are oppressed ; but)
not go there with threats and use harsh lan-!
guage against the government, merely to dis-1
jtinguish themselves, and to receive the appclla- j
i lion of a Hector. This is not the way to get:
redress; and this kind of way wont answer :
'so we must be careful how we vote, and whom
-r ... 1
;wc vote for. Yours, in sincerity.

Gentlemen, —Always acknowledging the right
of the petrple to know’ the sentiments of their pub
lie servants upon all important matters connect
ed with their interests, 1 have already responded,
to what I believe was their wish, in the last Fe
deral Union. To that communication I refer
you, as a reply to your letter to me of the 20th
ultimo, which I have just read. Having dis
charged, I believe, without complaint, the duties
of the several important appointments with which
I have been honored by the State for the last
twenty-five years, and having in my youth often
and freely shed my blood in the defence ofthe
dearest rights of our common country, I cannot
now believe that any person who is acquainted
with me, can formic moment seriously entertain
an opinion, that in the wane of life, I would take
any step not calculated to cement (instead ofse.
vering)the Union. From this view ofthe subject, I
entertain some hopes that your fears may be some
what mitigated, in regard to the evils which may
arise from my supposed association with the“ raw
head and bloody bones” of your letter, [Nullifica
tion.] If I could see in your catechism, solely, a
pure, lofty and patriotic regard for the good of our
common country, and oppressed Georgia, I would
be among the first to acknowledge and appreci
ate it, but pardon and believe me, gentlemen,
when I tell you, that for my life, I cannot divest
my mind of the belief, that your strange concoc
tion is intended more to accomplish certain politi
cal projects, than to promo’e southern rights and
southern inrerests. DANIEL NEWNAN.

To the Editors o f the Federal Union :
Gentlemen, —As many of my constituents have
manifested much solicitude to ascertain my
views in regard to the present critical affairs of|
our beloved country, I seek this occasion to com
municate them through the medium of your pa
per.
In the first place, 1 believe that any member of
the Union upon her own responsibility, and as a!
free, sovereign and independent State, has the
1 right to pursue such a course as she may deem
; the best calculated to arrest the mischievous and
I destructive effects ofthe odious, unequal and un
-1 constitutional tariff act of 1832.
2d. I believe the proposition for assembling
I delegates in convention from all the counties in
this State, at Milledgeville, in November next, to
take into consideration our grievances, and the
proper remedy for their removal, is a wise and
ji prudent measure ; and I am w illingto abide by the
decision of the convention, if ratified by a niajori
!j ty of the people.
i 3d. lam opposed to a separation ofthe States,;
! unless wc are driven to this expedient, by contin-i
ii uod robbery and relentless oppression ; & rather!
! than support any measure which I thought calcu- j
la ted to weaken the Union, I would acquiesce in
I the present tariff, bad as it is, for a few years long- j
|| cr, provided I could now be convinced, that it;
|j would gradually, and in a short time, be reduced i
i to a proper revenue standard.
4th. lam opposed to a Southern Convention,
for I am apprehensive that in it we w’ould have to
u encounter Uiles of * “ magician,” and the 3
flprojects of I tariff, constitutional tariff, and |
; protestandon ; and like the Philadelphia Con. Su
bvention, it ild proveto be an abortion, anu ;ii t
somewhat sar to the miserable hoax that was“c«

lAberly Catty, great Union j
j Meeting reculy held in this County, brings to ‘
1 mind a most ite resting fact in the Iris' ory of that ,
people as corccted with the American Revolu- i
tion. The piple of that County (then called i
St. John’s Pash) took an early and decided )
stand in favor of liberty and heartily entered: ,
into all the nasures of their brethren in the:
other Provims. An ineffectual etTort was made
to rouse the hole colony, and a meeting was
held in Savanah in 1774 with a view of taking
measures to appoint Delegates to meet the
Provincial Ccgress at Philadelphia. The spirit
of liberty haciiot yet become general, and their,
measures for lat time failed of success. But
the inhabitani of St. John’s Parish had determin
ed upon thtir ourse ; and finding they could not;
enlist the whee Colony in the noble cause of:
freedom, they to assume the responsibili
ty of appointiig a Delegate to represent them at;
Philadelphia.
Dr. Lymarllall was appointed, and immedi
ately proeeedd tothe place where Congress was
assembled. le presented his credentials from
his Parish, aii for a moment Congress hesitated
as to what corse they should pursue in receiv-j
ing him. Bit in that day when pure patriotism]
I animated evey heart, trifling informalities were!
! easily overlotkod, and he was admitted to take
j a seat. It ws in consideration of the early and
! decided stand.akcn by this Parish in favor of the
; Revolution,tint it was afterwards named “Liber
ty County.” (t is peculiarly gratifying to find ,
that her prescit sons cherish unimpaired the pure !
spirit of libery, c.nd are proving themselves the|
worthy desccidants of patriotic sires.
The wholcState of Georgia seems to be no-1
bly arising move the mists and prejudices of;
party, and wih one voice proclaiming her firm!
attachment tc the Constitution, and her deter

but the samw pure emd patriotic spirit prevail
throughout fair land, and soon all internal dis
cord will cease, and we will present tothe world
the rare exhibition of a free, happy, unconquer
able people. FACT.

Remarks. —The Mississippi remains at near the stage c
last noticed, about 12 feet below high water mark. The
weather 's warm and pleasant, wuh sufficient change
from fair to cloudy, calm to broe4e, to give general satis,
faction, particularly when the enjoyment ot good health !
is so general that the subject of our ancient epidemic is
rarely agitated. For the satisfaction of absent follow.t
citizens, we add, that we have not heard other than the c
remark of absence of every kind of nialady. Nothing i
whatever has occurred to change the appearance, and U
indeed the reality of things since business ceased, except 1
that many new houses are building and old ones repair- , t
ing, and that affairs in general arc endeavoring to keep i
pace with the growth Os our commerce and increase of
population. . j
Cotton. —Arrived since the 3lst ult. of Louisiana arid
Mississippi 142 bales. Cleared in the same for
Liverpool 2124, Bordeaux 56, Marseilles 544, New.
York 259, Baltimore 41 ; together 3024 ; making a re
duction in stock of 2882, and leaving on hand, inclusive i
of all on ship-board not cleared on the 6th inst. a stock of
6896 bales. There appears to be quite a fair demand
for the arrivals ot new crop to fill ordefs for the Atlan
tic cities ; some has been sold at 10 cents, but holders
I generally expect from 10 J all, and upwards, at which
rates we have heard merchants remark that they were
authorised to buy, to small amount, to answer the im
mediate demand of the Northern manufacturers. Sales!
of small lots of old crop range at former quotations, which ,
we, however, continue to qualify as nominal. The |
stock on hand for sale is now quite small, many of the;
principal dealers having sold out entirely, or have but few
bales remaining : a sale of about 1100 bales was in trea
ty, perhaps closed, but the particulars were not public
when we made up our paper—as a general remark, we j
may say that there has been no important change this |
week.
Sugar continues in fair demand, without; however, j
any change in price; in the city 4* a 61 cents are,yet
the rates. Cleared this week, for New-York 162 hhds-'J
Baltimore 394 hhds. |142 bbls. together 556 hhds. 142
