We | aspire to belong to the Republican State Rights Party, I professing such principles as sustained the Fathers of that faith in ’9B and ’99—as bore that party in Geor gia triumphant, through the political conflicts of ’25 and 26, and to which it has not proved recreant in ’32 and’33 We claim to be disciples of the School of Jefferson, as taught in the Kentucky and Virginia Resulutions. But professions of republicanism have become mere cant, when every party lays claims to that title, from the Union Democratic Republican par ty of Georgia, up to the great National Republican >' party of the Union, and back to the remnant ot the ' party which rejoier din the subsequent election ot a ! Sedition law Judge, as the triumph of the Democratic : Republican partv New England! Equally vague is I the pretence to belong to the State Rights Party, since many of those who profess to be State Rights adher ents. deny to the States all ether rights but those of rem -nstrance and submission. Stilt more uncertain is the profession of belonging to the Jeffersonian School, since many who pretend to be followers of i that Patriot, publish to the. world, the preposterous, I the humiliating notion, that the labours of his whole life were intended to prove that the Stateshave only the right ot petitioning for a redress ot grievances--of remonstrating against unconstitutional Federal Legis lation, and finally “when all other remedies fail” of protesting!!!

Su< h was my case when quite a raw ai d inexperienced youngster, exposed, at the age of .sixteen, to one ot too most s ipperx tricks that citirne Fortune, hi her mo-t wav ward hunmur, can play a man. Eve ryone must recollec the rancorous animosity that subsisted between ihe J’n'ish anti Amer n ans fur so’oral v*‘ars after the tertrnnati >n of :hew■r•» t ' • > n l etwo c< u i. ries. I i :.e bi s now, tn some degree, softened down this nu»_ Hie feeling; but, in 1818 it blazed fiercely toith .t Gibraltar, wnere a sight misunderstanding at one ofthe gu rd-bouses, led to a succession oi bloody, and, in some instances, fatal ren ontres between thegarr.son and the officers ot the American squ idron, at that time in he i, a y, Similar scenes were enacted at Madei ra, though With les.- fatal results; and, only a few months afterwards when the United Stales i-orvetic Ontario, and the British frigate Hy perion, were laying m the bay of Callao de Lima, to so fierce a pitch had this feeling risen, hat the commanders of the two ships came to an understanding to allow their offi< ers t<> go on shore only on alternate days; and by this timely precaution they prevented a hostile col lision, which would in all probability have de prived the services of both countries of some valuable and gallant officers. It was during the nooot <le heat of this ran corous feeling between the two nanons, that I one evening entered a case, in one of the Bra zil an outports, to meet, by appointment, a frit nd, ir< ni whom I was to receive some letters ot imroduction for the interior of the country, for which i was on the eve of my departure. The si reels were silerr and deserted; the only sound to be heard was the vesper hymn sweet ly floating on the evening breeze. On enter ing me case, I found a group of savage-look mg Minheiros, who were drink.ng and listen ing to a love-lay, sung with great sweetness to a guitar accompaniment, by a mulatto youth; and a party of four American officers who were going home, invalided from their squad ron, round (he H< rn.
