Southern Petri i /. i'lie following toast was given on the occa sion : (hir distinguished durst, (hr Vice President of the I itiled Slat s —His eminent talents have been exerted to promote the ha] piness and pros perity of flic whole I nion. 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 • r “ Not dating the necessity of an enlighten- 1; «d system of measures for the securitv'of the. fc country, and the advancement of its true in- d tec st, nor vuur dis; osiliun to make Uie necessu r . sacriticf'3 to sustain it. 1 gave my zeal*.-ms efforts in favor of ail such measures ; the grad- . a tncrease of the navy, ?i moderate nr.htarv es tablishment properly organised and instructed, a system of fortification for the defence of the coast, the restoration of specie currency, a due prelection oj tiiose manufactures of the country which had taken root during the period of the tear and restrictions : and JnOlly a sup cm of cun vecling the various positions of the country by a judicious system »f infernal improvement. Xor again was I m s'aken in vour character. )on noblv * . : ■ I oftbese measures. So n after the . y Congr f this svin of mea- ■ sun s, which grew* out of the experience of the 1 ste war. 1 was transferred to preside over the Department of War, by the appointment ot' our ' \ ‘ s «Sr excellent Chief Magistrate. In i ids new* pos * ion, my principles of action remain ed unchanged. ('onfmmng still with mv faith in creased instead of being shaken in vour virtue «Sc intelligence, I sought moth -rpath to vour favor. i lea r ess dis :1 a rge of the dut es of nr of fice. Place ;on so firm alb mdation, no diffi fr op] sit n c . ntimi late me. It b■- ty as : member of the admimstra . to aid in sustaining against the bol lest as 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 A Frikxd of the Union AM) of the Constitetion. 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 rary relief- —and wo trust that measures will be immediately adopted effectually to relieve them from their distressing situation.

These arrangements have been made for the convenience ot our friends. 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.
