ilute of our lasi advices, but the Louden papers,
state that a feeling of confidence in his ultimate I
success appears to increase among hissuppo/ters I
in England. The general opinion seems to be,
t at there will be no immediate collision between
t'„. two armies, that the position of Oporto is
sufficiently strong to resist all the attacks of
Ho.j Miguel, uni that as long as thecommunica
uon with that place can he kept open by sea, he
will retain secure possession of it —meantime,
reinforcements are hastening to him from differ
ent quarters, whilst his long possession of the
second city in the kingdom, may be expected to
exercise a moral influence over the general
population of the country, highly favorable to
his cause.
The Paris papers are principally filled with
the debates of a trial of the chiefs of the new
sect of St. Simonians, who have been condemn
ed to one year’s imprisonment and the payment
of a fine. The immediate dissolution of the so
cicty was also decreed. The Minister of War
had addressed a circular to the Governors of
military posts throughout France, warning them
that German spies were traversing the country
for the purpose of spying into the s'ate and
strength of the garrisons, discipline of the troops,

ductions had been drawn by the speculators in
Paris. —Matters were also again beginning to
look more angry in the West, and some fresh
Carlist disturbances seem to have been appre
hended. Paris remained tranquil, and the cho
lera continued to decline.
These papers, as well as some journals ofre

of Germain affairs, but they are too desultory to
stay the attention of the general reader. The
upshot seems to he, however much wo may re

Dinner to Judge Clay aiid Col. McKinley. —
'I ■ citizens of Limestone County invited the
j ii. : p. Clav. and Col. John McKinley to a
i i: lie dinner on the 12th ultimo, as a tcstiino-j
nv of their respect for the public and private;
i nractcrs of their present Representative and
the late Senator in Congress. More than four!
hundred persons are said to have been present. \
The sentiments advanced were worthy ofthej
occasion. They evinced a devoted attachment
to the integrity of the union, and an unshaken
determination to sustain the government and
constitution. A sketch of Judge Clay’s speech
has reached us; —that of Col. McKinley is pro
arsed, hut has not come to hand. The Judge
a.'er ably and tdoquently defending his vote,!
on the late Bill to reduce the duties on imports,
says :
“ 1 not only believe that taxation should be
made to operate ns equally as practicable, on i
< very quarter of the Union, and on all classes;
••f society, but that it should be limited to rais-;
uig oniv such amount of revenue as puny be
adequate to the exigencies of the government.
“ 1 am fully aware that the act modifyingthe
tariff, which passed at tlie late session of Con
gress, does not entirely attain either ot these
objects —l am satisfied that we shall still bear
more than our proportion of the public burthens,;
and that it will produce a larger amount of,
revenue, than the wants of the government de-1
maud —vet 1 voted in favor of its passage. I ;
did so, not because 1 was satisfied with the rnea- i
sure, not because it was perfect in its provisions ;j
but, in the choice of evils. 1 was satisfied it!
was less grievous and oppressive than the tarifl
of 1828—inasmuch as it reduced our burthens,
between six and seven millions, in the aggre- j
gate, and may be said to have abolished the
principle of minimnms—jusdy considered the
most odious feature of the existing systyem, and;
one which has excited more complaint than any |
other. By a table, officially promulgated from |
the Treasury Department, calculated on the ;
importations of the year ending 30th Sept. |
1830, which I have recently seen, it appears|
that the nett revenue arising from imports un
der the lute act, will be reduced to 812,101,567,
—to which nuv be added the proceeds from the;
public lands, and the dividends on stock, held in
the United States Bank —making the total reve
nue amount to 815,000,000. The reduction j
en what are calle 1 protected articles alone may ,
bosafclv estimated at more than 82,000.000.
Some of the modifications, too, have been ;
i ivorahle to our part ofthe I nion. For exam- ,
p:o—on the article of coarse woollens, from the j
lowest price up to 35 cts. the square yard at d
the place whence imported —under the tarifl ot j
U2B the duties ranged from 45 to 225 per cent. •
under the late law the duty is merely nominal,
being only 5 per cent, ad c More in. The duty
on coarse blankets is reduced to 5 per cent, ad
valorem—the duty on cotton bagging is redu- j
cod from 5 cents the square yard to 31 cents —
the du*v on sugar is reduced A cent per pound.;)
These and other modifications, which will be j
seen, by comparing the late act with that ot^
I'.gS especially the change in the mode of
imposing duties, from the minimum to the ad
valorem principle, thus, enabling us all to see ;
and understand the amount of tax we pay—
must, I think, be considered amelioration ot the
system, which could not have been properly re
jected.
I do not pretend that the tariff, as fixed by
Delate act, is satisfactory, or that it ought to
be satisfactory, as a permanent system. 1 j
mow it has been said that the system is per
-1 a iv v fix ■■■ hv compromise-—that the prin
of p-nav ion is recognized and sanction
‘!• fi it w v is ta) he considered more fixed
*md permanent than any other law ? Every
°ne knows liiat any mere law passed at one ses
von of a Legislative body is subject to repeal
°r modification, at any subsequent session ol
the same body—even though it should be de-
i:cleared in the body of the act lo be irrevoca
! Me. But there is no such clause in the act o'
jltiie late session, nor can it be pretended that i
contains any tiling in the nature of a compact.
Nor did any friend of free trade, so far ns j
know or believe, agree to accept the act of las
session as a final adjustment of duties to be paid
on imports.—lnstead of this being the fact it
was far from being satisfactory to any of those
who were opposed to the tariff of 1828 —and
those who voted for it, did so on the ground
that it rendered tiie system less oppressive— on
(hr ground that it reduced our taxes some millions
of dollars and imposed them on principles more
fair and equal. I shall fel perfectly at liber
ty, not withstanding I voted fur the bill, on the
principles just stated, to vote for, anJ urge ns I
unquestionably shall do, still further reductions
of duties, and still greater equality in the mode
of imposing them, again and again, till complete
justice is done to every important interest.
On the subject of Nullification the Judge re
marks, “ This remedy has been called by those
who advocate it a constitutional and rightful one
— an efficient one and a peaceful one. The
mode of operation, as I understand it, is for
the stale, proposing to nullify, to pass a law
calling a convention to deliberate, and act, upon
the validity of the supposed unconstitutional
law of the United States. This Convention is
to meet and of course take the subject gravely
info consideration. If they decide against the
Constitutionality of the act of Congress, they
are to declare it null and void, and no longer
of any effect within the limits of the state —and
it becomes, ipso facto, nullified, and the ports of
I the state are to be thrown open for the admis
sion of every description of merchandize free ofj
any and all duties imposed by authority of
j such act.
Being opposed to this doctrine, I will, very
• briefly, state some of my reasons. I cannot be
lieve that the sages and patriots who framed the
:lConstitution of the United States, intended to
embrace in it, or did embrace in it any principle
for its own destruction —any priuciplecalculated,
! wholly, to defeat and paralyze the government,
it was their object hy its adoption, to institute.—
i Vet if the doctrine of nullification be consistent
jwith the Constitution, it must he conceded that
there is in it some lurking principle, recognizing
the power of a single State wholly to arrest the
operations of the general government, and con
sequently, to defeat all its purposes. To illus
:rate the proposi ion—nearly the whole revenue ■
ofthe United States, by which every depart- j
i ment and every officer of the government are
; paid and sustained, is derived from duties collect
ed under our tariff laws—if a State can nullify
these laws and open free ports, it cannot he ex
| peeled that importers of foreign merchandize
will carry their goods Intoother ports, and pay
tax varying from 5 to 50 per cent, mlvalorem;
when they can bring them ini® the ports of the
nullifying State free of any tux —nor would
they—consequently, the nullifying State can]
cut off the whole revenue of the United States!
the only means of supporting or carrying on the
government, and its operations must, cease. By
this doctrine the government must always be in
the power—at the mercy, (if I may use the ex
pression) of any, and every State of tke Union,
las well the smallest, as the largest. The State
jof Delaware, with her one representative on the
floor of the House, out of two hundred and for.
ty, would be as competent as New-York. Can
you believe that such a remedy is consistent with
our Cons i tut ion? Bull have other objections
to this doctrine —I object to its deceptive and de
lusive tendency. It is said to be a “peaceful rern
; ody,” as well as consistent with tiie Constitution.
When we feel, what we consider a grievance,
and are taught to believe that we can obtain re
lief by a “ peaceful remedy ” —nothing is more
natural than that we should be ready to embrace
| it. If a remedy be “peaceful,” we naturally
conclude that it is also harmless, and we readily
make the experiment. So far from being
“ peaceful,” the process of nullification must in
evitably bring the State which resorts to it, into
immediate and direct collision with the govern
ment of the United States—and those who have
been led on by the delusive hope of relief in this
mode as if to he effected by a sort of charm,
will find themselves involved in civil war. Is it
to bo presumed that the government of the Uni
ted States will quietly stand by, and passively
submit to the amputation of its right arm? Do
you believe that the President, on whom it is;
specially enjoined by the Constitution he has!
sworn to “ preserve, protect and defend,” that
“he shall take care that the Jaws he faithfully
executed ,” will permit a law of the United States,
from which the only means of supporting the go
vernment is derived, to be wholly annulled and
defeated ? Those who can for a moment enter
tain such a belief, know no'hi ;' of the charac
ter of Andrew Jackson. The man who Ims so
often, for his country’s sake,
“ Set honor in one eye, and death in the other,”
will do his duty, and let consequences take care
of themselves. Indeed, he has already spoken
upon this subject, in language not to be misun
derstood, in his reply to the Committee of the
Union party of Charleston, S. C. inviting him to
participate with them in the celebration of the
anniversary of our independence on the 4th of
Julv, 1831. In reference to our Independence
he uses this strong language —that it “ cannot
exist without union, and. with it, is eternal.’
Alluding to a separation of the States, as the ne
cessary result of the doctrine of nullification, if
carried out as contended for by another party in
South-Carolina —He proceeds to say —“Every
enlightened citizen must know that a separation
[of the States] could it be effected, would begin
j with civil discord, and end in colonial dependence
ion a foreign power, and obliteration from the
I list of nations. But he should also see, that high
'and sacred duties, which must, and will, at all;
I hazards, be performed, present an insurmounta
ble barrier to the success ot any. plan of disor
j ganization, by whatever patriotic name it may!
I be decorated, or whatever high feelings may be
I arrayed for its support.” I understand this to
be a plain indication ot his course —in the event
of anv attempt ot the nullification party to car
ry their doctrines into practice.
! * If these views be correct, the remedy by nul
jlification is entirely inefficient —and calculated
‘ to delude those who have been persuaded to con-
Vidor it peaceful, and involve them in a danger
bus collision with the general government, and
perhaps open resistance and civil vvai. Indeed,
we are recently informed, through the journals!
of the day, that it is already spoken of by some
of the distinguished men who have heretofore
| been considered its advocates, as no longer
peaceful, but revolutionary in its character. Ihe
people of South-Carolina have all along been
told that nullification was rightful and peaceful ,
till thev have been wrought up almost to a pitch
of madness; and now they are informed that it
{is revolutionary. *
There is not, vet, any sufficient inducement
to revolutionize and break up a government, un
!der which we have grown up, as a people, and
become great as a nation —a government, too,
that has been looked upon, by the whole world,
as the last hope of liberty on earth. W hat would
our fathers have said at the close of the strug-
Igle. which established our independence and L-
• ♦juion, if they had been told that their sons, in the
short lapse of fifty years, would have seriously
■ontemplated tearing that Union asunder ?
. i Would they have listened to it with patience ?
i No —they would have denounced the wretch
who had dared to make the insinuation as a false
1 prophet —a calumniator of their pos erity. * *
t Upon the whole, it seems to me, fellow-citi
:■ zens, that the doctrine of nullification is wholly
i untenable, involving the greatest absurdities and
j rending directly to civil war, and revolution, —
i Xor can it be supposed that any political friend
s iof our patriotic and venerable Chief Magistrate,
after seeing the ground taken by him, in his let
. | ter to the Charleston Committee, before referred
> to, would be willing to attempt practical nullifi
! cation. It would obviously place him in an at
i titude of direct hostility to the President, and
impose on him the most unpleasant, as well as
■ the most “ high aud sacred duties ” which would
jj“ at all hazards be performed.” May heaven
. | avert from my country the evils which would be
• inseparable from such a course. * * * *
■ These are sentiments such as we had a right
• !to expect from Judge Clay ; —and they do equal
• honor to his head and heart, —to his talents and
to his integrity. While we Lave such men in
•*. • 1
i Jour high places, and while the people sustain
! jthem by giving heed to such patriotic counsels.
i nullification may rave, and disunion may rear
her hateful crest, but our glorious and happy
Union will survive the shocks, and
“ As the tall cliff, vhich lifts her awful form.
Swells from the vale, ami midway leaves the storm ;
Though round its breast, the rolling clouds are spread,

j{ LETTER OF MR. CHEVES.
i The following Letter was addressed by Mr.
Chevks to the Committee of Invitation, request
j'ing his attendance at the State Rights Dinner!
(given at Greenville, on the 6th September.
Pendleton, Sept. 1, 1832.
! Gentlemen —l have received your letter of
the 13th nit, in which I am invited to partici
pate in a ftinner to be given by the Citizens of
I Greenville District, on the 6th instant, “ in hon
jor of that portion of the Delegation in Con
gress, from this State, who voted against the
late Tariff on imports.”
I understand the object of this Dinner to be,
'to distinguish, by an act of public approbation,
exclusively, these Gentlemen of the Delegation
who voted against the last act of Congress, on
the subject of the Tariff. There is, on ordinary
occasions, no honor or distinction which it would I
i not give me great pleasure to join in bestowing
'on these gentlemen. They are generally, the
i ornamen's of the State, in point of talents, and
iin virtue and patriotism are unsurpassed ; and,
!us 1 arn perfectly sure these honorable senti
ments governed them in their vote on the last
Tariff Act, though my judgment does not con
cur with theirs on this point, I should not have
the least objection to unite in bestowing on them
the honor yon propose, were it only to imply
1 a general approbation of their conduct as able
' and faithful public servants. But I cannot doubt
that this testimony of your favor will be under
stood as a declaration of the opinion of those
who concur in the festival, that (I) the vote of;
these gentlemen against the Bill was one of
sound policy and peculiar propriety in reference
to the position of the State at this rime ; and
(2) that the vote of those gentlemen of the Dele
gation, who voted for the Bill, was contrary to
the sentiments of their constituents, and the true
interests of the State. As I think entirely dif
ferently, I cannot, however unimportant the
opinion of an individual may be, allow the pub
lie to suppose that mine sustains these proposi
tions, when that opinion is altogether in opposi
tion to them.
If it had been my fate, on the occasion, to
have occupied a seat on the floor of either House;
of Congress, I should most certainly have voted
for the Bill in question ; and I should have done;
so without the least doubt of its propriety and!
.policy in reference to the intcres’s and honor;
of this State at this time. For these opinions,;
among many other reasons, the following may;
be mentioned.
1. There was no concession or compromise'
of the great question at issue, made by the mem-!
hers who voted for the Bill. If in connexion!
with their vote for this Bill, they in any manner;
agreed, that the Bill was to be taken ns a final:
settlements of the question; or that with the;
passage of this Bill their labours in opposition;
j to the protective system should cease ; or, if they '
( have recommended to their constituent to sit i
down, satisfied with it as an ultimate adjustment !
ofthe question, I will agree that their conduct!
does not deserve the approbation of their consti
tuents. But certainly they have done nothing I
of this kind. And, if in voting for this Bill,'
they did it under an apprehension that they were |
giving a vote, that might be unpopular, believ
ing, at the same time that the public interests!
required it, they deserve, instead of being con-1
demned, to be doubly honored for their inde- 1
pendenee.
2. The act in its nature anJ enactments has 1
i not committed the honor or the interests of the'
State. On the contrary, 1 consider the princi
ple ofthe American System, to have suffered an
important diminution of its strength, by the bill.:
‘ The modification of the Tariff was urged, prin-;
cipally, on three main grounds. 1, That it was
unconstitutional. 2, That it was peculiarly in
jurious to the South, and 3, That it was unne
cessary as a Revenue System. The first may,
' be considered as standing nearly where it did
before the conflict of the last Session of Con
gress, To the second some material conces
sions have been made by this bill. But the
third has certainly been sustained and carried to
a very considerable extent. It is true that du-:
ties have been taken off, where they were leas!
oppressive ; which shews, however, that the
Friends of the American System had the power;
to sustain the Tariff as far as they dared to use
it ; but, that being possessed of this power, they
nevertheless, were obliged to yield to the argu
(jmentthat unjust and oppressive public burthens;
cannot be justified or perpetuated on the mere;
! grounds of power, but that there must be a welU
I grounded necessity for Revenue to authorize
Taxation. They felt this argument terbe so:
strong,that they have not only yielded the prin-'
ciple generally by reducing the duties on un
protected articles’ but have also been obliged
to consent to a partial and considerable reduc--j
tion of the duties on protected articles to meet
, this principle. This is an important point gain
, e d. Ido not doubt, but that, after all these re
ductions, there will be a considerable excess of
i Revenue, and, if the operation of the bill shews
■ this, the fact and point that has been carried as
lo principle, will present a strong foundation,
i on which to build further eflbrts and fuither suc
cesses. This ground of an unnecessary Reve
i nue. is, after all, the most palpable, it is most
felt, as well in the Hall of Congress as in those
■portions of the country where the Tariff does
not press, or where it is a bounty ; indeed eve
j rv where ; for the iniquity of it is so obvious,
i that that universal sense of justice (of which the
most unprincipled are not wholly divested) a
mon" those who are not immediately blinded
1 bv interest, recoils at the enormity of it ; while
even those who are drawing the richest har
vest from it, become ashamed to enforce it, and
? discover that it will uot be long submitted to by
■(‘a free people.
3. Many millions will be kept in the pocket'
. of the people, by tho operation of this biil. I
i forbear to say what I suppose to bo the amount,
’ because that is a point of controversy, Btu le
the lowest es'iniate be taken an i it will bo, per '
annum, several millions oi' dollars.
4. This sum will be kept out of the public
! Treasury, and therefore bo so much withdrawn
from the support of the American System. It
is well understood, that this system operates, and
is sustained in two ways. First, among the man
ufacturers in their immediate profits, and thro'
them on the geographical sections, where manu-.
‘ facturrs prevail ; and secondly, in those por-j
‘ tions of the comiTy where large expenditures
and disbursements are made for Internal Im-1
provements, Pensions, &c. which a large surplus
'revenue provokes and sustains. This last evil,
.perhaps the worst of the System, will be redu
ced in proportion to the reduction of the revenue.
5. The duties on many articles consumed by
.j the poor and middling classes have been materi
ally reduced. The prohibitory duty called the
! minimum duty on Woollens, by far the most un
just and grievous particulai of the System, has
been repealed; and though the duty on woollens j
| is yet oppressively high, the reduction will ena- !
jble more than a majority of the population of
i|the Union (including slaves) to be clothed in so- '
j reign woollens, which were before virtually pro
hibited, on terms which will give the consumer
a choice between those and domestic goods, and
will also in all likelihood, reduce the price of the
domes’ic articles. The minimum on Cottons;
has been reduced one seventh, which will take,
the prohibition o.T some articles that could not
1 be introduced before. Other material reductions
I have been made.
G. There will be a further demand for foreign ,
goods, because the people being less taxed, will;
■ have more to spend, and Southern produce will
I be in proportional demand to pay for these in-‘
creased importations. By the increase of free;
articles, the prices of which will be reduced, the!
middling and poorer classes will be enabled to l
enjoy as habitual comforts, some, if not many jj
articles, which before they enjoyed only as oc-,j
casional luxuries, and generally, whatever is I
• saved from taxation, will be a new source old
enjoyment, or a new spring to industry among i
the people.
All these are important advantages, and have |
jbeen gained, in my opinion, without any sacrifice
iof interest or honor. The idle assertion of the
ultra friends of the Tariff System, that theycon-
Isider it a final adjustment of the question, is too
(shallow a pretence (intended to cover their re
itreat with a shew of undiminished strength) to
! be worth a moment’s regard, in opposition to the
j fact that none of our representatives has given
[either by word or action, the smallest support toj
j the pretension. The concessions of the act of)
1 1832 have been unwillingly yielded by thorn, j
[and have been extorted from their rapacious!
! grasp. They would with equal truth and much|
imore plausibility, if this act had not passed, have
|said, that the public judgment had been finally
expressed in favour of their system as it stood,
land that the representatives from the South had |
j | concurred in this decision, because they had j
voted against an ameliorating Bill. To my mind, ■
it might with more propriety be said, that those
gentlemen of the delegation who voted against
the act of 1832, voted for the continuance of the
tariff of 1828, than to say that the latter was
sustained bv those who voted for the former.— |
The true parliamentary question, is frequently'
in form, and always in substance, in the alterna
tive shall the original principle (in this case the
old law) stand; or shall the amendment (in this
case the new law) be adopted ? '
J most respectfully thank you for the honor
1 you have done me by this invitation ; and I offer
you the best proof of the high estimation in
which 1 hold it, in the effort I hare made to jus
tify myself in declining the honor. I shall be
obliged to you to give publicity to this commu
nication, with your proceedings, that my motives
may not be misundcrs’ood.
1 am, gentlemen, with great respect, your o
bedient servant, LANGDON CHBVES.

and the information of others, that the COTTON crops j
in those counties are much better than a week or two j

in some neighborhoods was very destructive, whole fields !|
appearing as though a fire had gone over them; they : ]
have since come out astonishingly, and it is now believed ;
that very near an average crop will be mads. It is now ! (
thought, the crop will surfer more from rot than rust.

there is growing, in general appears well. The crops
