[from OCR CORRESPONDENT.]
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31st, 1837.
The debate in the Senate on Mr. Calhoun’s
which 1 very briefly alluded toon
Thursday last, was so important that a more ex
tended notice will not be uninteresting to your
readers, and the people of the South generally.
Before this can reach you, you will have received
a copy of the resolutions themselves; and I to"
lieve the majority of reflecting and observing men
will agree with tho opinion publicly expressed by
Mr. Preston in the Senate, that though they em
brace the principles which state rights men ought
to bo ready at all times, to assert and defend, yet it
is by no means probable that they will accom
plish the object Mr. Calhoun professed to have
in view—namely, to furnish a common ground on
which all who are opposed to the abolitionists,
may he rallied. Without assuming to be tho
apologist of the party, whom Mr. Calhoun calls
“the Nationals,” I yet must think it would be the
height of injustice to say that they are in the mass
either leagued with the abolitionists, or give
them any countenance or sympathy. Thousands
and thousands of that party are slave-holders
or live among slave-holders, and have
their dearest earthly interests identified with the
preservation of the rights and domestic institu.
tions of the States in which they reside. Thou
sands and thousands more there aro in other sec
tions, who, it cannot be questioned, would be rea
dy to march, at tho slightest warning, and signal
ize their fraternal and patiiotic feeling, their devo
tion to thoWLTnion, the Constitution, and the
whole country, by pouring out their blood, if ne
cessary, in defence of the institutions, the houses,
and families of their Southern brethren. Arc
these men to be excluded from the common
ground on which Mr. Calhoun proposes to rally
the opponents of abolition, because they will not
subscribe lo the principles of the State Rights
School 1 On this new rallying ground, what is
to become of tho •‘Proclamation” party—of Mr.
Van BuFeii and his Southern friends who sup
ported it, and tho measures consequent upon it I
JTST all of both parties, “the Nationals,” and the
so-called Democratic Republicans of tiro Procla
mation school, hereafter to be ranked with the
fanatical disciples of Garrison and Thompson 1
These are questions which naturally arise, when
we find a gentleman of great ability and 'distinc
tion, presenting such a rule of division as a
ground of compromise.
I need not inform your readers that Mr. Preston
entirely concurred in the truth of the piinciples
which Mr. Calhoun proclaimed. All stale rights
men will probably acknowledge their soundness. |
But he differed with his colleague in tho assump- j
tion tho' the assertion of the principles would be
an antidote to the fanatical spirit which inspires
the Abolitionists. Mr. Preston declared, that
tb*rc was a necessity for some other action—hide,
pendent of any proceedings in Congress—into
which the Southern people and their representa
tives could go with perfect unanimity. He could
not expect any security for the South, from the
passage of any resolutions. “We, who represent
scc'ional interest,” —he exclaimed—“are now
warred upon by sectional prejudices and passions,
and sectional!!/, must we protect ourselves!”
He referred to the proceedings of the Committee
appointed by the late general meeting of the mem
bers from the slaveMioldtng Slates. No distinct
plan, he said, had yet been agreed upon ; but
whatever it might be, some sectional action, he
maintained, was absolutely necessary. He would
be ready to join with his Southern brethren, to
make a solemn appeal to tho people of tho North
-*■lo arrest the progress of fanaticism, —or to make
a terse and vigorous protest to the Slates, against
the proceedings of the Abolitionists, —or he
would be ready to come here, surrounded by his
Southern friends, and protest against any farther
agitation of the question, in any shape, by Con
gress. Whatever should bo done, ho hoped
*■ would be done with unanimity by Southern men
! —that very unanimity, ho believed, would boa
harbinger of success.
In conclusion, Mr. Preston repealed that he
had no faith in a declaration of abstract principles, i
as a cure for this abolition disease. A prnclama- 1
tion, or a recognition of principle is not enough, j
flic South must have some additional guard for
their security. A man dors not think his pocket. !
book safe, because stealing is acknowledged to i
boa crime : And so he could not indulge tho 1
idea, that the rights of the South would be re- j
opectcd, and their interests safe, merely because !
(her. set of abstract principles is acknowledged!
and maintained.
Mr. Strange of North Carolina, said that if the
resolutions were urged, he would vote lor them ;
but he deprecated agitation, from whatever quar
ter it might come.
Mr. Calhoun answered sharply, that sucli lan
guage ought to be addressed to the assailants,
not those who acted on the defensive.
Mr. Strange said, his anxious desire was to stop
all agitation. Ho thought, that Southern men
ought not to entertain any discussion on this sub
ject. There was nothing to gain hy it. Every
debate, ko believed, tended to poison the mind of
some slave. His Southern friends might well say
to the Abolitionists in such a controversy, “Heads,
yon win,—tails, I lose.”
Hero the discussion ended, and the resolutions
were postponed to Wednesday next. M.
