As soon as this toast was drunk. Mr. Calhoun
rose from his seat, and addressed the company
ns follows:
l
“ (Ikx ti.kMkx —! would ill deserve your fa. j
ror, were I not sensibly affected bv your kind !
reception. After so long an absence, and after ■
having passed through so main Irving scenes,
to return to the friends of mv youth, to whose
early confidence I owe mv first advancement in
public life, and to be thus received, is indeed
truly gratifying, and will be held in grateful re
membrance so long as I may live. Nor will it
terminate in a mere emotion of gratitude, hut
trill animate and impel me with redoubled zeal to
act on those prindples and views, hi/ adhering to
which heretofore, I have been so fortunate as to
secure your approbation, and that of so large a
portion of our fedlow-citizens. Surrounded as
1 am, by mv early acquaintances, it will not, 1
trust, be considered indelicate to advert for a
moment t«> the principles which have invariblv
governed me in public life. From the com
mencement of my public career to this day, /
have under all circumstances hen directed hy
one great leading principle, uu entire confidence
in the virtue and intelligence of the American
people. 1 believe them to be not only capable
of self-government, but of w ise self-government:
and thus believing, I never for a moment doubt
ed that the approbation of my fellow*-citizens
would invariably follow, an "enlightened dis
charge of duty, if fairly and fully explained.
To understand then the true interest of the
country, and to pursue it steadily under every
difficulty, I resolved from the first, should be
my constant guide in my passage through pub
lic life. 1 had not been long in the councils of
the nation, before the firmness of mv resolution
was put to a seven* test. )-ou all remember the
condition of our country in i'-l I and lsf‘J, du
ring what is culled the war session. A war, at
that time, apparently interminable, was waged
between the two great powers of Korop.**, Fa up
land and France, in the progress of which, a
long series of injuries had been inflicted on our
neutral rights. These at length became insuf
ferable.—hi very attempt was made, bv m -asures
short of war, to redress our wrongs. Th *v all
tailed. Solar from arresting the course of bel
ligerent aggression, our n eural rights confirmed
steadily to he encroached on, in spite of embar
goes and the whole system of res laciive mea
sures. \) e were at length (at the period to
which 1 refer) reduced to tit.* condition of hum
bly submitting, or of making an open and bold j
appeal to arms. I here were not wanting m '
Congress many (and some of them distinguish
ed by high reputation for talents) who preferred
submission with .all of its humiliation. Those
members denied not our eoumrvs wrongs.
They were in fact but too mania s ; hut they
doubled whether the people would hear the bur
thens and privations of war. They readily
conceded that the people would sustain their go.
vernment in peace, when but little efforts wore ' i
necessary to sustain it. but would bv no means | «
concede to them, that elevated intelligence and ;
patriotism which were requisite to Far it thro' <
all the dangers of war. 1 neither so believed
nor acted. I was not ignorant of the danger 1
and privations whicii must ever attend a war 1
w ith England, particularly unprepared, as the <
country then was. i clearly saw our ditilcul- ;
ties, but m\ laitn m your virtue and uiiehigencc i
was never for an instant shaken. I asked my- <
self simply, what no the lasting interests and (
the honor ot the country require, and not doubt- ;
mg hut that both would be sacrificed without re- ;
sistance. I unhesitatingly gave mv voice for that :
war, which has emphatically and jus’ly* been i
Called the second war of independence. Xor i
I mistaken in my estimate of the character • \
of. the people. Sustained by their enlightened •«.
patriotism, tlie government was borne in safety i
through the s ormy current of events. An hoti- *
orable peace followed, and with it the impornnt t
question occurred. On what footing should our \
peace establishments be placed. Again Con- c
gress was divided. Torre mere main/ on whom <
the experience of the tear appeared to be lost. \
Either not discerning what your interest requir- t
ed, or what is more probable, not confiding in i
your disposition to make the sacrifices, w hich o
the measures necessary for the security of the r
country required, they w ere found in opposition v
to almost every measure proposed for that pur- -
pose. 1

sault.s, 11 lose very measures, which as a member
of Congress, I had contributed in part to estab
lish : and again i had the satisfaction to find
that u reliance on your virtue and intelligence
\v is no* in vain. \ our voice yvas so audibly
pronounced on th<* side of the administration,
* tat now i istead of opposition, the struggle a; -
pears to be who shall evince the greatest zeal
in favor of its measures. Hut it is not simply in
questions of national policy, that this deep con
viction efthe virtue and intelligence of the Ame
rican people has guided me in mv public course.
It has also been my constant moiii or, in rela
tion I<> the principles of the (lovernment and its
operations in reference to them. Relieving that
a firm reliance on vour virtue and intelligence,
was the only safe foundation lor an extended
policy, it naturally followed, that / should take
such n view of the principles of the (inrernment
and give it as far as in my power, such direc
tion in its operation, as would he the host calcula
ted to enlarge and confirm the power of the peo
ple. That 1 have ever so acted, I confidently
appeal to my whole political course as well w hile
a member of the Government of the Slate as
that id llie nation ; and in so acting 1 conceive,
that i have but acted in the spirit of the consti
tution. According to our American conception
of liberty, it can only exist where those who make
an I execute the fairs are. cant rolled hy the people
on whom the lutes operate through frequent elec
tions fairly conducted. To enlarge and streng
then this control whenever it is susceptible of
it, and to preserve it in vigor, in the actual ope
ration of the system, I have ever conceived to
be the first duty of an American citizen ; for it
must be manifest that in the same proportion,
that the people may lose this control, just in the
•same degree the responsibility of public agents
to them must be lost, and that m the same de
gree the Government must lose itsdcmocralical
character. Nor have these been mere theore
tical opinions. Throughout the whole of the
late election which has terminated in putting me
in my present situation, I never for a moment
lost sight of them. I know that it may appear
indelicate for me to allude to those recent oc
currences, but believing that nothing that con
cerns the American people, ought to be so con
sidered, 1 without hesitation refer to the part
which 1 acted during the late Presidential can
vass. From first to lust, one leading princi
ple governed me, that ihe voice of the people
should prevail. I cared much Ir.ss who should
he elected, than how* he should be ; nor did I
confine this principle to others without extend
ing it to mvsell. 1 held myself strictly subordi
nate to the public voice. Os which 1 trust I
furnished no feeble proof, when one of the lead
ing States of the L nion, which, though at first
. j 7 o
apparently favorable, gave indications of pre
ferring another. Actuated hy the same princi
ple, which had placed me in opposition to any
scheme of controlling the election, by any other
power than the voice of the people, 1 did not
hesitate hv withdrawing to contract the sphere
of selection, and thereby to endeavor as far as
in me lay, to terminate the election hy the peo
ple, without its being referred to the Mouse of
Representatives. Not doubting that you en
tirely concur in these principles, I take the lib
erty in conclusion, on offering as a sentiment.
** The responsibility of Public Agents to the
People —the basis of’onr system —let the founda
tion be |mvs *rvod in solidity, and liie noble struc
ture will last forever.”
FROM THE RICHMOND KMU'IKKS.
THE WIDOW’S MITE.
We read in Scripture, that Christ applauded
the liberality of the poor widow, whom lie saw*
casting her mite into the Treasury. J think it
the duty of every citizen to render that assistance
to his country which lies in his power. Impell
ed by this consideration, I have thrown mvsclf
upon the indulgence of tiic* public. If I benefit,
my country, which will be more than 1 have the
vanity to expect from my bumble endeavors, I
do not ask or expect any praise; because 1 deem
praise due to no man for doing his duty.
A subject which gives rise to great disquiet
and discussion, is the doctrine of Nullification,
One great cause (I suppose) why the nullificrs
oppose and nullity the Tariff, is, because thev
consider it unconstitutional, and therefore nullify
ii; aye, nullify it. to remedy its effect, and to rid
themselves of the evil. But they seem not to
consider the nature of the remedy which they
apply. The remedy for an unconstitutional act
of the Federal Government, as laid down bv the
Federal Constitution, and as construed bv i*s
best, mo.st patriotic and wisest interpreters, is j
the institution of an amendment to the Federal i
Constitution by a specified number of States, and j
a consummation of that amendment by a number
of Stati s. also specified according to a process
contained in the Federal compact itself. South
Carolina places herself in an awkward and dis
advantage ous position before the other States,
and before the world, when she is seen opposing
an unconstitutional act of the General Govern
ment. (so construed by herself) on the ground of
its unconstitutionalitv. with an unconstitutional
weapon : viz. Nullification, aye, the disuniting,
consuming feind, Nullification. If the mind can
reflect on Nullification as a remedy for the op
press:on of the Tariff, this idea presents itself,
that it is used byway of retaliation, and its ad
vocates assume, that if Congress can pass un
constitutional acts, they can be thwarted by un
constitutional means. Is it not to be lamented
hy every friend to Ins country's welfare, and to
tite welfare N prosperity of the States separate
ly and individually, that such a doctrine has
ever been ai.owed to introduce itself into an A
meriean's mind ? One is almost tempted to doubt | ;
whether it originated in the bosom of a native ,
American citizen. It must be some monster of. *
foreign growth, brought into our free and- happv '
land, by foreign ambition for an evil purpose, to 1
blight (through envy) our free institutions and *
dcstrox our happiness arising from them.
A j.tvoiKe Puiiuciuii 'Mill a certain party, nu
great while since, wished that this, his native
■ m ght be visited with war. pestilence and
famine: and as a Great means ol obtaining his
: wish, he has been actively and effectually instru
| mental in imposing on it the Tariff’, which it is
great!v to be ibared, will answer his purpose. Os
this fact he seems to aware; tor. alter s"e ng
its unequal, :-,ni consequently unconstitutional
action in the different *ftatcs ot the Lnion, he
still perseveres in advocating the Tariff, and
continuing it. with all its evil effects iq on us.
But we have this avai ing an i effectual consola
tion tin ler our misfortunes: that for unconstitu
! tional acts by the Federal Government there are
i constitutional remedies. There is no need of the
last resort for the preservation ot our liberties.
: until ail constitutional resorts have tailed.
There is no need of argument to prove the
unconstitutional]!v ot Nullification. Let any
man onlv reflect, that at the time the i a riff act
was'p.asseii. Si uth Carolina, as well as the other
States of the I nion, was represented in Con-
Gi'i -s. th.at Congress passes laws tor the I nion,
and consequent! v the L mon must submit to laws
so pass -d until their repeal: i hat South Carolina
hv her present doctrine, prohibits the operation
of a law in him’Territory which operates in the
'Territorv of every other State in the I nion, and
that tlierehv she is exempt from this law, and is
not on the .same footing with the oilier States
comprising the I nion. After deliberate reflec
tion on the subject, it seems to mo to be uncon
stitutional fur one State, out of the many con
stituting the Fnion, to be exempt from a law by
I which the others are governed, \\ hat can be
more unreasonable and absurd than the exis
tence of a Union of several independent and sov
ereign States, and vet flu - one of those States to
be exempt from laws which govern the others ?
An Union under such circumstances, is a perfect
anomalv. Suppose, for the sake ot argument,
that South Carolina suffers hv the Tariff, has
she not fellow-sufferers from the effect ol the
same cause ! Does not Nullification argue a de-
I gree of impatience and self-imagined superiority
; in South Carolina over her sister States of the
Union ?
After all that can be said in favour of Nullifi
cation, what good is to be derived from this doc
trine? SoLiih Carolina opposes the Tariff consti
tutionally hv her representatives in Congress, at
Washington, and prohibits it unconstitutionally
bv her Nullification at home. There are other
States who oppose the 'Tariff, according to the
former ofthose modes. From which mode of
opposition is the most good likely to be derived ?
what; evil mav not he expected Iroin Nullifica
tion ? If this doctrine progresses, it will inevita
bly lead to anarchy and confusion ; in short to
war, p'-stilence, and famine. It behoves, then,
everv friend of liberty and the Union to unite
and oppose bv all constitutional means the Ta
riff; and above all, to discountenance and dis
courage Nullification. Every Patriot who has
the welfare of the Union at heart, will unite in
the effort. Every man who is not actuated by
mad ambition, self-aggrandisement or false glo
ry, will scorn a different course. The cost, con
sequent value, and existing advantages of the
Fnion, seem to have been entirely forgotten by
the inventors and advocates of this new and de
structive doctrine. What did not the establish
ment of our Fnion and Independence cost? W hat
labour, uneasiness, and anxiety, did not Con
gress (during the glorious Revolution) suffer?
’To what hardships, privations, and dangers, was
not our brave and patriotic army subjected for
the sake of this Union ? Could those heroes of
by-gone times re-visit the land which-witnessed
their deeds of noble daring, what would be. their
astonishment at the folly of men, repining at
their situation, which, in comparison with their
own when they were upon the earth, is a perfect
Paradise below ? How great would be their re
gret and sorrow for the ingratitude of their pos
terity, for whose happiness and welfare they had
laboured and suffered until death ! Who can es
timate the value of the Union ? We cannot
count its cost, and consequently cannot arrive at
a computation of its value. It is inveluahlx 1 .
Where would be our greatness and power as a
nation of the Earth; where our Independence
and liberty, without the Union; 6c where would
be our prosperity without liberty and indepen
dence? May all idea of Nullification be aban
doned; may the States unite in a Constitutional
opposition of the Tariff, which will certainly
eventuate in its peaceful repeal, and in the sen
timents. The Union must be preserved, and may
our country be saved forever, from the excla
mation of Cardinal Wolsev,
“ Farewell, a lonu farewell,
To ail my greatness,”
which will be extorted from it by Nullification
if persevered in—is the prayer of

Charleston, November 1.
Distressing Shipwreck, —The brig Amelin,
(’apt. Dickinson, with a valuable cargo of Dry
Goods and W ine, and one hundred and two
steerage and three cabin Passengers, sailed
from New-York on the 19th ult. bound to New-
Orleans. On the passage they experienced ve
ry boisterous weather, lost bulwarks, and leak
ed badly. The captain, in consequence, con
cluded lo put into Charleston, crossed our Bar
on Tuesday afternoon last, and anchored in Five
Fathom Hole, as reported in our paper of yes
terday morning—after remaining there about 5
hours, it blew so heavily as to cause her todrnc
her anchors, when she was compelled to put to
sea. In crossing the bar, the brig struck sever
al times, which increased the leak considerably.
It then became necessary, for the preservation
of the lives of all on board, that she should be
run on shore, which was accordingly done, on
Folly Island beach ; where she grounded, wilh
six feet water in her hold. The vessel will be
totally lost, but the cargo will most probably
be saved, though in a damaged state. On the
27th ult. William G. Gibson, first officer,
was washed overboard, but regained the vessel
—lie died the same day. Messrs. P. Finder
and W. Field, cabin, and 22 steerage passen
gers. died on the passage. The remainder of
the passengers and crew were landed n;; Folly
Island, (many of them in a very feeble state)
where every attention was paid to their distress
ed situation by the proprietor of the Island, An
drew Milae, Esq. who, with the most praise
worthy promptitude, gave up all his buildings
forth- ir accommodation. We understand that the
City authorities depatched a boat to their assis
tance last evening, with supplies for their tempo

immediately adopted effectually to relieve them
from their distressing situation.

corrox market.
There was considerable animation 111 our market hist
week, sales were readily made at 94 to 11 cents. Since
we are in possession of Liverpool accounts to the 20th
September, received per the George ( aiming, our mar
ket has experienced a still further advance, and the ar
tide is purchased freely at 10 all A. The receipts du
ring last week were light.
It is with reluctance that we reply, though very
briefly, to the two articles in the Chronicle of last Wed
nesday, in which the editors of this paper are abused,
for the course they have thought proper to pursue in re
gard to Mr. Calhoun and the doctrine of nullification.
Those articles, it is true, considering the relative situa
tion of the Chronicle and Constitutionalist, should not
have drawn from us a reply; for the principles we have
uniformly advocated, and the policy we have uniformly
recommended, have met the approbation of so many of
our citizens, distinguished alike for talents and patriot
ism, that the censure ot the Chronicle can have no in
fluence at all hi turning a tide which runs so strongly a
gamst the wishes of the new party to which the editor
of the Chronicle has taken upon himself to be the or
gan, and so favorably to the party of which we are the
most humble members. But the high estimation in
which the press in this country should be held, has led
us to notice the articles in question; for whatever may
be the character of a paper, its contents go abroad ; and
if they arc of such a nature as to produce good, no
comments or remarks are necessary; hut if they have
an evil tendency, they should be pointed out, that the
mischief intended by them might be avoided. Under
these considerations, we reply very shortly to the Chro
nicle ; requesting the editor to hear in mind, that we do
not bind ourselves to reply to all the attacks he may
hereafter make upon ns : we have too much respect for
our patrons, and we value too highly the responsible
station we occupy, as editors, to fill our columns with
matter which can be of no benefit to the community at
large.
The drift of the Chronicle’s censure can he reduced
to this one point ; That the opinion we have expressed
of Mr. Calhoun and his friends, and of the doctrine of
nullification, has given offence to the. organ of nullifica
tion in this state. And why ? Because forsooth we
id* . , -
have been the echo of the opinion of a vast majority ot
the people -of Georgia, respecting that doctrine ; be
cause we have pronounced Mr. Calhoun a dangerous
citizen, who, to obtain distinction and office, has chang
ed his political principles as often as he thinks Iris inter
est might be promoted by it; and because this doctrine,
nullification, is as dangerous to the Union and to the
public institutions of the country, as the latitudinarian
doctrines which that gentleman professed, and succeed
ed in having incorporated in the policy of the govern
ment. The protection of manufactures, to the detri
ment of the most essential interests of the Southern
States; the system of internal improvement, which has
been carried in the other sections of the Union, with a
revenue derived principally from the exports of South
ern products; and the expenditure of the public trea
sure in extravagant appropriations for public works; are
measures which destroyed Southern influence in the
government ; which put a stop to all improvements in
the south; which paralyzed the resources of the South
ern States; which impaired the integrity of the federal
compact, which perverted the meaning of the consti
ution; and which, it continued much longer, must place
these states at the mercy of capitalists and an over
hearing aristocracy. These measures wore strenuously
advocated by Mr. Calhoun, and earnestly recommended
when in Congress, and when Secretary of War. And
when he finds that others have taken from him the honor
of carrying all those measures into successful opera
tion, he rrenles other doctrines, and recommends other
measures, which, like the others, are ns deleterious in
their consequences, ns subversive of the rights which
every state possesses, and as destructive to the best in
terests of the Southern States. No one will deny the
correctness of the position we have assumed, as regards
the former conduct of Mr. Calhoun : and no one will
deny the correctness of our position, as regards the
doctrine of nullification, except the friends of Mr. Cal
houn, who ardently wish him to be placed at the head
of the federal government. Entertaining such an opin
ion of Mr. Calhoun, it was our duty to place the subject
before the people as often as we did, and to show the
dreadful consequences of the new doctrines recommend
ed by Mr. Calhoun and his friends. And in acting thus,
we had to take a retrospect view of the conduct of Mr.
Calhoun, and to compare the construction he once gave
to the constitution, with the construction he now gives
to that instrument. If the conclusion wc have drawn,
from such a comparison disparages the high standing
which the friends of .Mr. Calhoun claim for him, we are
not to blame : the blame is to be ascribed to the in-,
ordinate ambition of Mr. Calhoun, who, as a latitudin
arian and a nullilier, adopted all sorts of doctrines, un
der the impression that he could deceive the people, and
by their votes place himself in the presidential chair.
This is the only reply we have to make to the Chro
nicle, as regards the course wc have pursued towards
Mr. Calhoun. As regards several other points, inch
dentally mentioned by the editor of that paper, we can
not reply. M c consider these points too puerile, to oc
cupy for one moment our thoughts, and too disgusting,
to abuse the power we have over our columns, by no
ticing them in any form whatever.

New-Orleaxs, October. *>o
Health of the City. —W e regret to say th a ..
City, tit present, is extremely unhcakhv
we do not believe that we have had so ' '
sickness since 18*22, as there has been herT.
a month past, and we understand that i; . j
rather increased than diminshed for the las 1
or three days. M e would earnestly reccing*
to our absent friends and townsmen to ;
their return fora short time, until then
change in the atmosphere, and the city > ' 11
more healthy*. '
The went lie r is now, and has been for,,
time past, exceedingly warm, but it is | l0>: !
will not continue so much longer.
Wo find it our duty to say a word to tj ie r I
Authorities. The present condition 0 f -V I
streets is truly deplorable; they have tv" |
years been in so bad a state as now • I
* • 1 * ' n is ■
our principal streets, a person cannot pass v -T I
out being sensibly nflected by* the obnoxious • I
they exhale, and which is of itself ’ J
give any one the yellow fever. Wo I
will not be permitted to remain in their ff. l
state much longer — Courier. \
Shipwreck on Luke Eric. —The Connect,-
Courant publishes the following letter, J
Windsor, Ohio, Oct. 4th :—“Dear Sir, A
painful emotions 1 hasten to announce to ,
the sad intelligence of the loss of Friend I
and his family, from Granby, Conn., and H ec .,l
A. Holcomb’s wife and child, from Simsbun I
together with lour other persons, viz; two? I
lors, a lady, and a little girl, belonging to A, I
tabula, on the lake, Saturday* morning 1
September, about 4 or 5 o’clock. Respect I
particulars, 1 can merely* say, that the voJk
capsized in a gale of wind and went to the b |
tom. Mr. Thrall and family, with Mrs. Hob
and child, are probably in the vessel, whiciijl
sunk in 50 or 60 feet of water; the top ul'llienifr
is about 8 feet out, and strange to relate, :b
captain and the hands, with Mr. John Wi, c I
of Ohio, Alexander Holcomb, Esqr. and hi-,
Henry A, Holcomb, from Simsbury, chine
rigging about the top of the mast until Saturday I
evening at 5 o’clock, say* 12 or 13 hours, whej
they were taken of by a vessel passing uptb \
lake, and were carried to Cleaveland. Titer P
staid at my house last night, and have gone tb I
morning down the lake to the place uhere t* I
vessel is. The vessel went down oil' Salem s. I
bout sor 6 miles; they are in hopes of bem? I
able to raise it and obtain their bodies, which I
seems now to bo their greatest trouble. Yo: I
will please communicate to soothe them, aits I
assure them that the survivors are in jirottv go<» I
spirits, although they had to put in requisition I
the last elfort of expiring hope to sustain tliw::. |
selves until they* were discovered. Mr. ILlcoii
was so much exhausted that be declared it ini. I
possible for him to hold on one minute longer, I
even when the boat to relieve them was closebv; I
but being encouraged and assisted by his com. I
panions he was kept from going down until b
boat arrived and look him in so fatigued as tob I
apparently lifeless. You may expect the par;- I
eulars as soon as it is ascertained whether thf |
vessel is raised or not, but you need not expect I
to get an adequate idea of the sufferings of the I
survivors, fur language is without words too- I
press it.”

Most Melancholy. — r Fhe following mclainF
ly* particulars were obligingly eoni'iuimcatedo I
us by Mr. Peter Grant, just as our paper I
going to press. Two men, each on a .scalß. I
erected for the purpose, were watching f»rdor
on the Nation River, in the township of Mm - I
tain, ou Thursday* evening last, the 11th iV.
and had agreed, if one shot at the deer and want-B
ed the assistance of the other, to whistle; oml
of them soon shot at a deer, and, imfortunatyv,*
just at the time Mr. James Grant, of South
er, made his appearance in a canoe, and, Its:-■
fid of being shot, he whistled, when the otic I
man perceiving something in the water, nr/. I
thinking it was the deer, he took aim (hisg -
being loaded with two balls) and shot Mr. OrY
through the thigh, which caused him to bled'- I
death immediately. The ill fated young im* I
who, unfortunately, shot Mr. Grant, went' 1 I
next morning and gave himself up, who was j
advised to go to the inquest. An inquest " ;i I
held on the body bv Doctor Wiiev, on the T
iust. and the verdict of the jury was “ acciden
tal death.”
The ease of Mr. Grant is truly* aflbcnc--

an inquest was held on his body on SatuF
night, and he was buried on Sunday. A
affecting and appropriate discourse was delivf-H

was, on that day, to have performed the mar.’
age ceremony.
