Breach of Promise.— We extract from the
Atlas of Hi,- morning, the following account of
a case which was lately tried at Worcester be
fore the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Siiaw
presiding.
This ,v as an action for a breach oj promise
of marriage brought in f<ivo> of Miss Frances
Rice against a M.. We ird of Leicester, a tra
der. The lady was an organist for the church
in tha town, and Mr. W. having a taste for
music, was wont to pass his evenings, some
times to ihe very “witching time of night,”
in listening to 'he tones of a piano, on which
Miss R indulg-d herself in practising tor hi*
entertamm -nt. Bv his own statement, it ap
pears he was during this time taking lessons
on th.it instrument from rhe fair plaintiff; but
his regular and prolonged visits, and the si
lence ot the piano after a certain h ur in the
evening, led some of those kind people whoev
er t ike an interest m the affairs of those about
mem to imagin- that they discoursed to each
other music of another kind I will not under
take to relate the story. Suffice it to say in
process of nine the attractions of the piano
lessened, or the pupil had le trued out, and an
other object fixed his attention. The seq lai
is easdv imagined. The deserted fair one laid
her (roubles before twelve rough old fellows,
(one of whom is a bachelor ot fifty,) told them
she had suffered in tier health and prospects,
and prayed their interposition. I tie appeal
was not in vain. They sentenced tier faithless
swam lo pay her nineteen hundred dollars and
co-ts of court.
We know not whether 'he lady whose affec
tions appear'O have been trifled with, will de
rive any great consolation from the generous
sum vhich the J iry n ive awarded her but tile

Governor Troup came Irom Ihe same Con- 1
gr» ss, ii’idersioud the force and effect of the 1
d ctrine; was as in ich a patriot as ihe bes' of
hem. and ,et he took n > measures for incul- (
a i i f it upon it's fellow c uzens.
When the rm nr Tabb- meetings ook ■ lace
in A'hens and L'-xmg'on, m August 1832,
where was Governor Troup? W-is he. present,
stimulating his friends to the adopti m of this
most potent but ‘'peaceable constitutional re ,
medy ? No, nor has he, upon any occasion,
bv act or deed, given countenance to a doc
trine so disorganizing tn its tendency
We know and »<m know, that if Governor
Troup was a nuilifier; ’hat if he en ertained
the South Caro! n i doctrine, it would be rung
in our vears from the beginning to the end of
the chapter. I
He iias been written lo—exertions have '
been made to him ’o >rmg out and place him .
in a position where the influence of his name;
could be used to advance Hie cause of nullifi- j
cation, but wha ; does he tell them? In one of
his letters he av*, “an insulated st de may
for a moment rescue liberty, but independence
is not to be main ained by an insulated State.”
Thai, “There is no power given by ihe eon
stitmion to reais' the law.* ot ihe United St lies:
and,
That “The only constitutional remedy for
unconstitutional laws, is the B ALLOT BOX ’
In another letter, he holds me following lan
guage: “1 am not certain that you are aware
of my early and uniform fl srelish of the doc
trine of nullification as m untamed by the ru
ling parly of a sister state;” and pending ’ e
stormy conflict of 1825, when he was charg- d
with a design of destroying the union, he re
plied in me following emphatic and patriotic
language; “I am ready to off.-r up my lite lo
sustain the u non for a single day.”
Can any tn in m his sober, senses, read the
foregoing extracts, and claim Governor I'roup
for a nullifi r?
He is no nuilifier —He has “entertained in
early and uniform disrelish .»!’ the doctrine of
nullification.” He is a union Troup man,
maintaining the good old constitutional doc.
trine -TSt it • Rights upon winch he acted in
1825, aid upon wtueh. the (Juivn parly are
now a ting, is sim ned i;> by him in the fol
It-Miig s-mu n n’ d-'iiv>red on ihe 4'h of July
1825; “ [*ne Union of the St<it>-s and the Sov
ereignty of tne S a'es, one and indivisible;”
and reiterated upon it m >re recent iceasion,
in the following sentiment addressedto a pub
lic dinner at Columbia Court House, in Sep
(ember last:
“The Union of all the States, for the pre
servation of die Sovereign'/and I idependence
of each —when it performs tin* offi e, ihe Un
ion is sacred: when it fails, it is worth Hie sup
port of those onlv, who would have made it,
at fir*, as they would now, a consulid t ed and
arbitrary Government.”
Had Governor I’roup been a nuilifier, enter
taining the spirit of ihat party, md anxious for
its ascendency, it is no reasonable (o suppose
he would have resigned his seal m the Senate
of ihe U. S at a time, when the eloction of a
Union man as his successor, was inevitable:
indeed, we do moat conscientiously believe,
tiiat his resigna’i»n at that particular ii ne, in
duced ’he ii'iil'ii ts to sink his . sme, and to
adopt m i s stead their new cognomen of State
Rigtiis. The la ter, followed tne former event,

B a as we have leisure, a few historical il
lus latiuns may be useful to those, who have
not watched with steady vigilance, the pro
gress of nullification through all ns sinuosities,
*i«ice ii first reared its fiery crest upon the, soil

as tiie most valuable mslruments for inculca
ting ins [Hiu' iphs upon bmh the Troup and

seriion, that mdirficulimi m Georgia, is not ihe
exclusive property ot ihe i roup party, but that

The present slate of parlies is a plain one.
The introduction of nullification into the r mk*
of 'he Tro ip party, produced an entire rear

[from both of the old i irti s uui'ing under ihe
name of ihe “ Unioi Democratic Republican

leading tenets of ’he nullifiers, we also refer

held by them in this place in November last
Os the principles, as advanced by each on f e
occasions above referred to, we shall speak

no. Is an man worthy to be called a Siaie

that one is Mr VVildr.

We ask you also to bear in mind, that ai

Meply to Mr. Tliorntou’s Letter.
Having concluded the publication of vir. Thorn- ’
ton’s letter, we <ow submit a tew remarks to our Ka
ders, upon some o! the principal questions under con.
sideration. We published his ess.iy, under a lull con
viction, that ii is right and proper, that every argument
should be heard on tin gr<-ai and absorbing political *
questions, that are now agitated in the United btaies,
and particu.ark in Georgia. We have no rtas nto
doubt, but that Mr. I hornion is honesi in his opinions,
as we. believe many others are, who advocate the same
principles. Bui when this admis ion is made, wc are *
compel!, d to tay, mat he, togethei with many others,*
who advocate the same cause, have over reached their>
sound judgment, in their zeal to repel encroachments
of power.
Mr. Thornton sets out by laying down two propo*
sitions, as h ading principles of the government under
which we live. Ist. " That the States are as they
were originally intended to be sovereign and ind<pen
dent of each other, and mat the Federal Government is
their agent. 2nd. I'hat they arc ihe proj er judges of
their own rights, as well their infractions, »s the mode
and measure of redress,”
In answer to the auove propositions, we shall, first
makes few remarks in relation to some general terms,,
used by Mr Thomt. n am. lllf . IC ,
wt,. Sovereignty, and fin mdivi- ibility ofsovereign,
ty. And wowdllnst rernaik, that the appi llation of
sovereignly, is not a very apt term in ou republic, be
cause when we speak of a Sovei. ign, the idea ol a Su
preme being is asmiatid wnh the expiession—we
speak <>f it in the singular, and Mr. Thornton views it
in the same manm r, when he sajs, that “ sovereignty
is indivisible.”
A community that lives undei a government purely
Monari hal, may truly say, it has a sovereign being
to rule over it, ihat it is indivisible, and in that,
sovereign, all power resides. But in a govern
ment nke ours, Wv can point to no such individual.
Vet, we are in the daily habit of using the term “ sme
leignty.” to convey the idea <,l a controlling power,
in England, it is admitted that the term soveietgn, is
•erely noooiary.when applied to ihe King And wby ?
because his will and pleasure alone, is not the law of the
land ■'ovci< igmy m that couiitr., lesniescoiijoiiitly m
ilieiw housesoi Parliament, and th* King For ifiis
i. a-on we cannoi with pmpiiety say, that th. King, or
either house of Parliament possess sovereignty. Yet
sovei< igr.ty may be considered as indivisible, when
speaking of ii as a paramount power; but when we
attempt to locale it, we find it bi Id by many p< rsons. "
When the word sovereignty is used in this country,
it u.eans coming m<>re n., r ilia., our government.
1’ signifies that si.pn me power winch “conn ar.de
what is right, and prohibits what is wiring,”or per
haps we nay be permitted to sat, the whole machinery
<d government We usually say, that in tins country the
people constitute the sovereign. Yet, when we use
this expression, it will admit ol some qnullification,
because wh-re there is sovereignty, when clothed with
ns tidl attributes, it at all times oveireachea every oth
er power. Ih< people, when in the act of forming I his
government, were sovereign. They parted with thick
attribute to certain rulh rs, teservii g to themselves the
power of resuming it w henever they might see pro.
per to change iheir form ol government. This right
mayor may not icvert-’o them, depending entirely up
on their will and plea-ure. They may take it out of
the hands of those who now govern, and place it in the
possession ot a su gle individual, or thev may reatime
the power and retain it among themselves, thereby
cm.stimung a government purely <J< n.ocram al. It is •
true, that the peopl. created the government, and for
w ha* purpose was ii created ?S ire! yi . ul<- over them.
But here we may‘ e told, thai the creature cannot be
placed over the creator-, this, . owever. is a hypothesis
not founded in lact Ihev.h< le governmem vas cre
