Ills hitler and implacable) hostility lo INIr. Uolhoun wan, indeed, more than Bllspccled. They who knew Inin well, were aware lon ol the mixture ot lelilie craft, with the feline lerOtuly of Inanature. lint he had so long shown nothing hut the velvet paw to the Smith, ibul they had forgotten the keen and rending claw that lay sheathed within. The idea that he was quietly lying in wait, until Ids enemy should come within reach ol Ins Tiger-spring hud entered no man's mind. To the .Northern leaders ot Urn Tariff parly it. seemed as if the South hud determined 1,1 endure Iho Ib oleclivi Sys tem no longer; and that I hero was no prolm.- hilly ihnl iho executive would concur m any measures lo enforce submission. We all remember Mr. Adams’ declaration, at the opening of that session, I lint the South must have rnlicf-—full nnd substantial relief, and such as should be felt ami acknowledged by themselves to be eo. Wo all remember tlie; t favorable auspices under which Mr. Vor pliinek's ill 11 was brought, in and entertained, i The Tariff parly reluctantly made up their minds lo surrender the System. There was no delay but what grew out of discussions between the great protected interests. The question holiver n them was, “where the loss should fall.” M ich was anxious to save ns much as possible to itself. liar,lt was ready I to give up the others, if n could be done with- ] out losing their co operation, Ou the other hand, the contest between III; President and Mr. Calhoun was, winch should have the credit with the South of the relief lo bo iilforded. Was it lo he brought about by the benign iiillinmco id IDo common master, bent to do equal justice to all his peo ple ? Or was it to be accomplished hy the independent action of South Carolina,guided by Mr. Calhoun? Hach dotermined to defeat j the other's scheme, each succeeded, and the I South was sacrificed. The ambition of Mr. .Calhoun gut the start. The hot spirit of South Carolina was spurred to the leap, and the Ordinance of Nuilifica tion was adopted. The Executive, ulrinque fiaralus, had arranged its measures lor the event. Tito protection contumaciously te jeeted by South Carolina, was at once extend- ' ed lo the North. The thunder ol the Proc lamation was heat'd. A pause ensued, whi.e all stood auribus orveclis, listening fur the answering t bunders ol that great Slate, whose boast it heretofore bad been, that her gaunt let (tad been thrown down lliirlv venrs before, I ns the Champion of Siam Stuereigfity, and , that none had ever dared to lift it tip. They listened, and what did they hear? They | heard nothing hut a weak piping cry of scared expostulation. Nothing, but a sound, like I t hut which issued from the Muse’s J,yre, I when touched by Iho baud of i t;.u:, “ lie hack rueoiled, lie knew not wav, J'.vou hi i be kiiuiiil bun ell biul mule" ■lt was enough, tu (list pause the doom of tin I s nub wns decree.l. In lieu limiil reiiuiimlriuieo, j I the Sovereignly of the Slates was curie tide red. 1 The effect on llie deliberations of Congress was j decisive. The Tariff party rallied. They raw ! Ihnl ihey had boon liighteiwd widi false fire, and ashamed of their fears, threw Verplanek’s Hill ! coolly and carelessly aside. fl' l ' •’fleet ol this unexpected reprieve of (hen ' favorite system, was lo turn the eyes and hearts j ol nil who were deeply interested m it to him by i whom it had been effected. The Northern man- ' ! nfaelurrrs had seen that their reliance on their | i numerical majority in Congress had beeii.nl least, i I hazedous. State inleip.isiiiuii had assumed nit auimde and aspect which had nearly (lightened them from thru prey, and nothing could equal their gra'elul mid applauding admiration of bim, •vlio, hy the breath of lus mouth, had dispersed | the pliiuilohi in thin air, mid, hy his word of ( oiv ir I had annihilated the Sovereignty ot the Sintra.- - Nothing eo’,;! ! ennui the popularity ol the I’rest \ dent widi tin' peopled the iu,uiu)acuiriug stale,-.

The doeliiuea of cotisoli dation, which she had cl\v ays eluuished, hut never avowed ; Wtdv wluetr she had otten heen reproach ed. and which she had its often denied, were now the maxima ol t; iumphsul democracy; nnd longue ru d pen, and hrisiliug bayonet, nnd the gleaming l>tade ot lire vaunting towlander, and the grim rill'of the t ru ni emtomoet, and “live- and I ntone i.d sacred holier, so open pledged I , oppose them, were now united in ih.dr defence. In this uddeii chance pi p ■". ion and etnirae er.-, the situation el some ol those who had lo shitl their dresses on (lie singe, were ludicrous enough. 1 have no doubt you remember, sir, the (utilising and odifyin-r scene, when .Mr. Webster, doing ti e honors p is of right lie should) ol the eolh ~ ot I’edr; itis'U, extended Iho i • gin hand el feiloi, strip t ' Mr iiive*. md nude him welrome, while \e he could nut refrain from expressing lus wonder, “ how ih devil h" g I there!'' and this ’/ fir.-, is the man mi v.bom ;■=!«•• would ■''•''* ”• I '' •’ '-ui Kin !

JJn!, 1 reserve, my remarks on that subject, ’(ill I shall coine lo speak of Mr. Culhon’s boasted triumph of .Nullification.

It was obvious that, in (ho Mouth, it’U.r had taken Ihejdaco of any more generous prin ciple of devotion; and when he proclaimed ihe. war of "the poor against (he rich,” and hounded j on Ihe rabble lo I In; plunder of their former pa. | Irons and benefactors, he did hut promise what j ho seemed well able lo perform. It was not tor tukm lo sec, iliac so long ns the very ioims of the Constitution remained, the great mass of pro. pcrly must he saf". It was beyond I heir foresight lo anticipate the final result ol a system, which, hy beggaring their employers, was in starve them. | This consummation was reserved for the reign of Iris successor, when ihe author of the mischief j had escaped into privacy, fiorn the consequences of his own lolly and wickedness. J l O was the fortunate physician; whoso fatal anodyne had not begun lo show hs jioisonons effect, until lie had I Hirncil over the patient lo his apprentice. Then j all was changed from golden dreams anA bright I imaginings to collapse, and horror, and convnl | sum, and despair, and death. Os all this, the 1 dirty parasite whose pride it was to bear the glys j ter pipe of our political Mangra 10, is now to pay | the penalty. The rabble, whose agrarian spirit had been thus aroused, had no interest, that they could under- , stand, in Ihe Hanks, They had, on the contrary, 1 down lo the lowest operative, an intelligible in- j Iciest in the protective system, and, for the rescue 1 ■ ol tlull, were gratelul and (leveled lo the will of i 1 him who had accomplished it. 'J'hat oilier rah- ■ 1 hie, the rabble of Stale Banks, with their safety j 1 hind, the creature and instrument of Van Huron, 1 | exulted over the discomfiture of their great rival. I f ile usurers and shavers, every where, joined the | cry, and the-e, with the holders and expectants 1 ot office who never quit the side of power, till I its full is nine, united to swell his triumph. If now asked, what all this has to do with the TaritV, 1 answer thus: All these evils, and all the mischiefs consequent \ oil those, have had their rise in the agitations pro. I j dinted hy the Inrill. ’The wisdom of preserving j j a system liable to consequences so fa'al lo pence j and liberty should, at least, bear a question. If j any means cun lie devised lor preserving thissys- * lent, and, at tbe same lime, of quieting these agi- J '“linns, restoring the balance ol ihe Constitution, 1 ami preventing the recurrence of such evils, 1 shall expect that your paternal attachment lo the | I system, will induce you lo cling to il. Hut if j ! 'ln s cannot he done, and any ground of coinpro. j inioe can he established, on which a part only ol j 'he system can rest in peace and safely, 1 shall j I expect you lo take that ground and maintain it, 1 li is in the confident assurance that you will 1 jdo this, dial these letters are written. It is less 'ban J could wish, hut all that 1 can hope. That j sncli a ground was established hy the compromise ! °l 183 U, I now believe. That the faithful fulfil j I merit ot the stipulations of that compromise, will 1 answer this purpose, I also now believe. That a j j departure from jt will he attended with tho like, j jor worse mischiefs, 1 have no doubt. Os these, 1 ! at another time, I shall lake leave lo speak. Hul, 1 must first take notice of the compromise itself, | ! its history, the understanding between the parties, ] at Ihe time, and especially ot the part acted and sitlVered in that drama, hy one, who, in the spirit ol a Christian martyr, finds exultation in abase | meat, and triumph in disgrace.

Dates to the J Gth from Houston were rccived by the Picayune, from which wc copy the following items ; E There was a rumor that the Mexicans, hem ■ g mod in by the French squadron on the Gulf, I 1 were making encroachments upon the Texiana t Iby land. Prom Corpus Clinsli tliey were report ;ed to have advanced to Live Oak Point, cast of i , I ihat bay—but die tumor turns out to have been | unfounded. Gen.

I The Banner mentions a report, which has been , { confirmed, of the seizure and imprisonment, by , the Mexicans, of Mr. Brennan, the memlier of : the House of representatives from St. Pa'ricio.— | ! Mr Brennan, says the Banner, participated in | | some of the hardest fought battles for mdepen- i deuce, and our Government should lose no time , j in concerting measures for his release from the I i treacherous hands into which he has fallen. As soon as the weather would permit, the schr. j. Southerner was to leave Velasco for New Orleans, I, , laden with cotton. j. Another Mexican Outrage. j Col. Carnes, the brave fellow who escaped | ; from Matainoras in company with Teal, and who has done so much for that Republic as a Spy, has again fallen into the hands of the Mexicans, and is probably slain, a- will he seen by the following article, from the Telegraph of the C;h Inst. ‘•A gentleman just arrived from Goliad slates that Col. Carnes was Killed or token prisoner by the .Mexicans on or about the 30lh hist. He was then on his way to Bexar with a quantity of goods, which he had brought from Copano, and ; was accompanied by several Mexican servants and one young man from the United States. , About twenty miles above Goliad they were sud | donly intercepted by a party of 30 Mexican i ( smugglers, who fired upon Carnes and shot him down—the servants immediately fled in all di reclions, and the young American, seeing Carnes t' tall from his horse, and Uniting himself alone op. ] posed to twenty niar.uiders, immediately turned E his horse and escaped in safely into Goliad. A j number of the citizens of Gohad visited (he place I | next day, but only found one or two dead cattle ! | lying on tl c road, and a hat oi one of the Mext- ' ; cans. No traces were found of Colonel Carnes; po'-iicy, therefore, he may have been only woun ded and unde prisoner. Wo wait anxiouslv I u i hirtlier particulars." * , from tin Macon Messenger. To tlit State Bights I'artj-. When in the lan of victory, it would .-tom, that hy foolish divisions, you are upon the eve of defeat. If in tlie coming elections you should as heretofore, act in unity, success would be cerla n. Jlo not, then, deluded by those who are prone to look alone to their in* dividiiul interest. Let not the interested movements of the cxc .ushc Bank men, the exclusive merchant, the capitalist, or even the I exclusive internal improvement men beguile | you into a division of your force. All loose ; interests (and especially the latter,) should he regarded in a reasonable extent. But rcrnein \ tier, il you are defeated, you will have no pow ter to benefit any interest whatever and that 1 each of I hose are prone to sacrifice every oilier, to their own indiv.dual interest, Be iiol divi -1 ded. Tie: vile .Sub Treasury scheme lias been decisively rejected by Congress, and the pco* I pie, and the Sta'es at their recent elections have procla'ined lint, that system ot Executive i patronage and power, and of aggrandizement to the capitalists,shall never be. And such proclamation of the Stales and ihe people thereof dure not be violated. That question is virtually at rest,and should nut distract your parly now, nor at Hie approaching elections. Let every Slates Right man ask himself this ! question.— What can be gained hy a defeat of either or any of our candidates! Ves, al. ; though some of them may he deluded, or in I some degree may consider themselves com. mated by a defensive movement hy n portion lof iheir parly in Congress some lime since, yet ! ihe question sldl occurs, what are you to make ihy discarding them, or either of them! Can 1 you vote lor the opposite ticket! They are | lo a man, Sub Treasury Loco Foco Van Bit rondos, Executive patronage and spoils men. ! Yon cannot therefore, without violating your j cardinal principles, support one upon the lift I of the opposition: and to talk of breaking op | your parly and forming a new one, at this lute I period, is nonsensical, and as impracticable as it is nonsensical. For what purpose is such a rasli movement to be made—what object to be attained to war against tlie dead! Oh! murder. Yes, Fellow Citizens, to defeat the Sub Treasury system, which is already as dead as a door nail, you are called upon lo give up your long, long cherished associations and your parly organization, and to risk all upon the desperate hazard of Lite result of this mere project. And out ot what materials is this new party to be termed! A decided ma jority of your party will not abandon their pre sent position; nor is it, probable that you would be countenanced in such a movement by any respectable portion of the Union party. And if you wore, do you desire to continue in their hands the power of dictating the measures of the State: of seating upon your benches a set of weak, imbecile judges, and ot appointing stage drivers and generally Ihe most ignorant members of the Bar your Solicitors! Jt has been truly said, that of all people on earth, the party you would thus unite, “have the most ijiitortunuie nack of perverting and abusing the power of appointment.” And surely you arc as much interested in the adoption of a liberal (borough internal improvement system, and in the appointment ot able, honest and diligent judicial and other State officers, and in a judicious management of the fiscal ami other concerns of I lie State, as you can bo in the promotion of strifes about an already de feated Sub Treasury measure. But there are strong reasons why you should elect your own ticket, Tour candidates gener ally agree with you in principles and measures— (lie adversary men as generally disagree with you upon those topics. According lo Ihe doctrine of your own candidates, they are hound to obey your instructions. If then, they should attempt lo vindicate measures against the will ot their party, you have the power of instructing and of requiring them to execute your will, or resign, and they are bound, to do so. But il the adverse ticket should be elected, they will assuredly sup port the Sub-Treasury, or any other abominable measure Van Huron may iccommend. (Jhoose ye, then, between thorn. Again—your party last fall, recommended to iho counties to send delegates to a convention, to select candidates for Congress. It was then known a difference of opinion existed upon the present subject of difficulty, and it was believed that a decided, yea, n vast majority was Anli- S.'b-Troasury and United Stales Bank men, and it understood generally, that those differen ces oi opinion were not lo he considered in (he 1 nominations : there was to he no proscription 1 on account of such difference in sentiment upon i those topics. Is it proper or just now lo take up ; those matters! Bid not the parly stand virtually 1 pledged to support the ticket so nominated hy their delegates? The writer of this article so 1 considered both in fact and. upon principle, and , for one, cannot, and wilt not, violate such pledge. Believe me, Fellow Citizens, there is a sinister effort to distract our ranks. It takes two parlies to form an issue. The Loco* Foeos insist that the issue is betwixt their Sub-Treasury system ami a United Slates Bank. When, and where, and how was such issue formed. 'They desire to avail themselves of the unpopulari'y of iho late United Slates Bank, and lo drag up its ghost and the ghost ot their defeated and condemned Suit- Treasury, undaintuio you with a ghost fight, while they may’ as usual, run off with the spoils. Will you suffer yourselves to be thus deceived ! The people have condemned their measure, an i they dare not pass it. The late President mur dered (he United Slates Bank, and the people have not had time to mature their minds. No reasonable United Stales Bank man would de sire to force that measure. They know dial there are many good men and true, that honestly believe that measure unconstitutional, and others have thsir fears of the power of such an institu tion. Let therefore, no premature issue bn form ed. Ihe Banks are about lo resume, specie payments. Let ua sec how things will work.— It a majority shall see ;ho absolute necessity ot such an institution, it will be adopted; if they do not, let il go. Hint, wo should lie guarded against premature isf iajs. Let us unite ua one man, and lei there tie no division of our voice, and got into power,and the superior intelligence, and I might say, integrity ol flic parly, will be a guarantee for its action. There never was a period when moio good could and ought lo ho done. I lie Union party has been in power for ' several years, and what have they done, while other Slates have pledged themselves for, and obtained millions, and have dug canals, levelled or cut through mountains, built rail roods, and i brought and putted into the hp of their people prosperity, nnd almost every temporal blessing : what has the Union paily accomplished for Ucorgia ' 1 bey have granted a few rail mad and bank char ,eis : the most of them with but ' illy guarded banking privileges, and appropriated ' j ~3a0,000 to build the main trunk rail road—that [l* all. fiive m l he Stale Kighis party the same I power, and my word for it. a plan will be adopt ed and quickly carried out, that will not only complete all the present noble individual com , pany cnlerprizes, but others also, of vast utility and of great benefit to our people, and the honor and glory ot the party and the Stale. Will you, then, by petty divisions in your own ranks, defeat 1 those great and glorious results ? Never ! Oh !
