Intercourse with persons of derided virtue
end exce'h-nce is of great impolthnce in the
forma ion of a good character, The force of
eX imple is powerful. W e ;irP creatures of
imitation, and hv r» necessary influence our
temper and habits are very much formed on
the model of those with whom we finiharlv
associate. In this view nothing is of more un-
young men tnan. the choice of then
companions. If they select for their asso
ciates the intelligent, the virtuous, and the en
terprising, great and m-'St happy Will be the
effect on their own character and habits. With
these living, breathing patterns of excellence
before them, they can hardly fail to feel a dis
gust at every thing that is low. unworthy and
vicious, and to be inspired with a desire to ad
vance m whatever I* praise worthy and good.
It is needless to add, the opposite of all this s
the certain consequence of intimacy with per
sons of bad habits an I profligate lives.
Young men are, in general, but Imle, aware
how much their reputation is affected in the
view of the public, by the company they keep.
The character of their associates is soon re
garded as their own. If they seek the society
of the worthy and respectable, it elevates them
in the public estimation, as it is an evidence
thev respect others.—On the contrary, inlimt
<v with persons of had character, always sinks
a young man in the eyes of the pmdir. While
he, perhaps, thinks bin little o! the i-onsequen
res, others are making their rein irks, they
learn what bis tasie is, what sort of company
he prefers, and predict on no doubtful ground,
whai will t,e the issue of his own principles and
character. t here «.:<* voting men, and those
too who wave no mean opinion <>f them-clvcs.

Leisure Hours. —ln what wav can your lei
sure hours be filled up s > as to turn to greater
account, than in pr- fi able reading? Youu
men, do you know now much is depending on
the'manner in which you spend your leisure
hours. Ask the confirmed inebriate where be
first turned aside from the path ot sobriety, mid
if his m inorv be not gone wuh ins reason, h>
will dwell with painful recollection upon the
hours of leisure lie unre enjoyed. \sk the
vi< tirn ofcrime, when he took me first step m
his reckless career, and he will remind you of
the leisure hours he enjoyed in ins youth. Ou
the other hand, do you s«e a man who was
once in the humble walks of life, now niovtn g
in a sphere of external usefulness? He hus
banded his leisure hours. Multitudes whose
names look bright m the constell item of wor
thies, owe tiieir elevation to the assiduity with
winch they improved the interval of leisure
thev enjoyed from the pursuit of the plough,
the awl, or the anvil. They substituted the
study of useful books for those trifling urn «se
rnems which insidiously lead the unwary into
the paths of prufl gaev and vice.

To the va-t majority of the saplings of Nulli
fiication. it is all Greek; but, like good desci-j
l>les, 'hev say “Credo q ua non inteiligo ” —:
The plan succeeded once, but such plans sei- i
dom take a second time. Calhoun made the j
great effort to establish Nullification as a con i
stitution d remedy, and now that the whole i
continent has agreed that constitutional Nulli
fication is pure nonsense, the hard task was
de.<>lved on Judge Harper, to deliver a judi
cial opinion t v that effect. When closelv an-!
dvzsd, s> ch is the essence of this very myste I
rious opinion, however thick the drapery which j
conceals it. His argument is in substance, !
‘hat there resides in the Conventions which I
may be from time to time called in the sever- i
a| States, an “original, despotic, irresponsible j
newer,” winch, against all true legal learning,
he dubs — Slate soverei’r' Its. Tins said Suite
sovereignty, delegated ! o the constituted au
thornies of the United States, power over the
people for certain purposes, and as long as that
power is not resumed, the people must obey
those authorities. Bit this original, irrespon
sible and despotic pow<-r, called “State sove
reign'v,” is mdivtsable and inalienable; and,
therefore, the moment it exercises us ongtnal,
lespotic and irresponsible power, and with
draws from the authorities ol the United States
the power over the people w itch it so dele
gated, the people become released from all
obligations to obey the laws of t ie United
Siaies, and if they d‘> obey diem, they violate
their higher and most binding duty of ohedi-
) once to this original, despotic and irrespxi
hie power, called State sovereignty; which
said highest duty, Judge Harper says is, “al
legiance,” tn u- modem sense, and that is not
the allegiance of th.- feudal law. li.erefoie
h" question of breach of allegiance can only
arise when the S ate sovereignty nullifies;
that is, rcleasi's the people Iro n their obliga
tion to the Union, and 'hen the oath to “b'-ar
t'ip allegiance to 'he State,” will bind thos ■
who ' ike it, to obey 'he ordinance ol Nnllifi
fic dion, and disobey the Laws and Constitu
turn of the Union. I‘his is ill 'he opinion of
Judge H irper; tie will no' deny that his is a
• strtctlv true analysis o*' his argument. Ile de

j ol the constitution of 'he Un ; t‘-d States, which
■ declares that that Constitution and the Laws
Ji made in pur-uan- e thereof, shall be the su

man who was trumpeting States Rights from the
housetop. If this be so, our allegiance is due
to three-fourths of ihe States’ for according to
the nullification school, allegiance is due to
sovereignty. This exposition was written as
the cree*! o{ South < 'arolina, and for that reason
w is I’.aop'ed as a report by a Committee of the
H iuse, of Representatives, consisting of Messrs.,
Cregg, Wardlaw, Legare, Hayne, Preston,
T/liott and Smith. It will be that
S! x us 'bis Committee are leading and most dis
>ininiisiied "ullifiers of the present d iy. It was
t hf ’ mproved orthodox creed of
the party. Bu ..’I ■’ tw<i-v is bandoned
for ano'her of a totally Diflerent nature and
character. I > ds s >cech on w'"*at h" is pleased
to <-ill tlie Bloody bill, Mr. Calhoun says—
“ Nor is (he other point less clear—that the
sovereignly is in the several States and that our
system is a Union of 24 sovereign powers un
der a constitiittoiia! compact and not a divided
sovereignty between the States severally and
the United States. In spite of all that has been
said. I maintain hat sovereignty is in its nature
indivisible.” Now he s;-ys that each State is
sovereign and abandons altogether the idea of a
transfer of the sovereignty to three-fourths of
the Slates , an / therefore, our allegiance must
he due to South. Carolina Thus in ’2B each
of the States have transferred their sovereignty
by the Constitution to thret-fourths of the
S'ates, and therefore retain none of it—in 33
each of 'he States is a sovereign power, and the
U. S ties have no sovereignty: in ’2B we owed
exclusive allegiance to three-fourths of the
Stall's, hut in 33 we owe his exclusive allegi
ance to lh<* Sta'e alone. Such is the contra
diction in di the opinions of this restless and
visionary V/itator. As the party adopted this
theory of’2B—so they have changed about and
adopted that of’33. T<> day he proclaims that
a brown loaf is a leg of mutton, and all his
worsh pners full nrostrate o > their faces crying
out Amen great K ug, to-morrow tie proclaims
that a leg of tnmioti is a brown loaf, and with

Divided lllegiance.— X' a meeting of nul
lifiers held at Um hi Court House J dv 7, the
following resolution was adopted with huzzas
of applause.
“ Resolved, That tho doctrine of a divided
allegiance due bv our citizens to the State and
General Government, as maintained bv a ina
j >ruv of the aepe d bench, is a relic of anuen*
t >rv:sm and :n ipplic mle to our present complex
Hid federative system.” We see 'V the above
resolution that the su'iject ol divided allegiance
is 1 nounc.ed by these sapien's as a relic 01,
anlietu torvism. The lories knew no him! "I

to ihe allegiance of their fore-fa hers md which

feel for them more than tiilv. We believe 'his
to have been the case with those who adopted
this patnetd d res d'Hion. A curious incident

The nuUifiers embrace every occasion to
nlace the State instimtions in <>pp >sition to
those of the Unred Slates. They endeavor
to inculcate !"»• doctrine, that G»’ .rgta is a se
parate and di'tinct nation: not only uncon
nected .n interest and feeling with, bin d>iecl
’lv opposed to, t'- e balance of the union.—
They endeav »r bv every art and artifice to
i break down that nationality of te*ln»g, that
■ Pervading love of our whole country. and pride
tn 'he distinctive name of American, winch
I was once so distinguishing a trait nelhe char
irter of every true Georgian: and to gimplv
its place with a nair >w contracted patriotism,
which is bom ded try a river, a county line,
and deems all enemies which lie beyond it.—
It is lor tins purpose that on their public exhi
bitions they dl'place the Xmeric in flag; His
for this purpose they raise the single star and
' the palmetto bint n.
In S v.mnah •» was observed, that in cele
brating h !a'<e antve'-arv of American liber
ty, instead of marshalling’ their process: »n a
i , under the glorious Banner wmch led our
fathers io victory, they must needs rats, a
Ihtmr of blue which they called the ‘/Lrg
of Georgia ” What au’honty they found
thus to christen it, wo know not. I\p are
n> t aware mat Georgia has ever set up anv
other flag than 'hat of trie '‘Glorious Star
and Stripes.” Too was deemed sufficient by ■
our father* during the revolutionary times, ;
when they poured out liictr bio »d like water,
'o defend 'he liberties of their whole country. |
This was their leading star in those divs tba'
tried men’s souls. It gleamed over them in ;
many an hour oi peril, ii wav d them on to ma- 1
nv a brilliant victory. Amid the darkness and
confusion of the fight, it was a bicon for i
those who struggled, a shroud tor those 1
wtio’fell. Nor did the heroic defenders of'
Savannah in ’9l who poured out their blood
with Pulaski wish for any other flag to’
fight, to live or to die under, in those?
days cf patriotism nnd valor, the stars and I
.'tripes w’av»*d unsullied and unrivalled from ,
every hbexty pole ...-urn Ute seaboard to t’e
mountains. But now in these days of nul
lification and State remedies, the mistaken
sons of Savannah think that something more is
necessary for them to marshal) under. I hey
must have a new flag. A “field of deep
blue, decorated with fringe and tassels/’ is
advanced in (heir procession. What were
its devices or bearings, is not stated, wheth
er the single star, the rattle snake, or
whether the 1 and “tisscls were all,
is left to conjecture. It was hailed however
by the nulltes, and styled the flag of Georgia !
A thing of blue, of fringe and tassels, palmed
upon the multitude of Georgia.
Among the nany modern plans of puffing
one’s self into nonce, we observe th;. trick i
of sending round to some dozen diflerent sec
tions of the State a toast or .sentiment to be read
at a regimental barbecue, or 4'h of July dinner,
by some convenient friend, is becoming quite
common. To h ive some willing individual, ful- |
ly aware of his own importance, (from seeing it
often inflected in the glass.) rise, and amid the
hum of confused voices, state that he has just
received a letter from his respected and honored
friend, the distinguished Mr. Rumpfoosle, who
being deprived of the felicity of meeting his
friends on the present occasion by a severe at
tack of the cholic, or some kindred accident, is
nevertheless with them in soul, and to recipro
cate feelings begs them to accept of a sentiment
&c. ! This being properly interlarded withl
suit able epi hets and compliments, naturally i
givesiiseto the itiq iiry of, who is M». R imp
foosle ? And the answer bring given that Mr
Rumpfoosle is the distinguished .Mr. Rump- I
foosle of Buttermilk county, &<’• & c produces
quite a sensation, a Listing imptesston on the
minds of all present. This mode ol getting
one’s si If pnlTi d, is attended with m my advan
tages. In the first place, scarcely any ono
would think of contradicting what another
might say ot his friend on such an occasion
\nd in die second, though it might be contra
dicted, yet the candidate for fame becomes
talked of, which is the next thing to popularity.
Among those who have tidopted this plan of
puffing themselves into notice, we find that our
fi lend Absalom is not a whit behind any of his
fellows. We have se •!) something less thana
dozen" letters” aibd “ sentimeiiis” w hich he has
had the indnstiy to distribute in different sec
tions fm die purpose of helping out with a puff,
on die commencing of his race for Congress.—
I'his puffing, our friend Absalom sees the ne
cessity of: and, following the ady <*e ot H<*rcu

<n iy be well enough. But it won’t do in all ca

“THE BLOODY BILL!”
What has become of Mr. Calhoun’s propo
se mn 10 repeal that terrible “Blood’) Bill?"
Did m»t all the nullifieis swear upon the al'er
mat 'hev n**vcr would give “ sleep 10 their
eyes nor -lumber to their eyelids.” unhl this
monsZflr of usurpation was expunged from th

the great leaner who was to bring them nut of

suffer# d a seven months’ session to pass fl
way withoii. a serious efFirt to accomplish
tins great object of the nulhfiers’ religion !
The People have here a test of the sinceri
ty of Mr. Calhoun, the Telegraj h, and the
whole race of imlhfiers. That which is sa

the friends of to-morrow; principles, associa

to suit the ambitious views of the rn >m mt.
Is it not strange, that the honest of the
Nulhfiers stili look to Mr. Calhoun as their
leader ? He was io rid them of the tariff". and
he gave them a worse one; be was to repeal
I the "Bloody Bill," and he has made no se

structure of our government, are gravely told,
bv this letter commentator, ‘‘that fraud
been practiced upon them”—--and that they
have been seduced, from the support of their
principles by falsehood and misrepresentation.”
Au important discovery, truly! The frotip
Union men have been seduced from a
port of t'm r pnncioles, a discovery of which
has been left for the penetrating sagassity of
this letter comment itor. Surely they should bo
under lasting obligations to hi n, lor this
important development. A pathetic appeal
is made to tlie*leelings, the pride, and the pas
sions ofthe Troup Union men, they are consoled
with 'he refler ion. 'hat if thev have been “ da
ceived” that hev are now ‘undeceived,” — “that
their Old Leader has spoken for himself*.—-
that he lias declared that the Staie Rights parJ
ty is engaged tn a just cause;” and then«*omes
the cap sheaf of consolation, “and that it will
triumph ” Here then is evidence, “strong as
proof from Holy writ itself,” that Nullification
is the rightful remedy, and that he, who will
not now believe, “would not believe though
one were’ to arise from the dead.” Troup Un
,on men, vour Old ’ kadrr Ims sent
forth t e decree, therefore, you are in duty
bound, asall good, faiihtul arid snbservi nt par
ty slaves are. to yield a willing submission to
the dictation of your “ Old Leader,” the hon
est convictions of your better judgement, to tha
contrary not withstanding.
But we have 100 much confidence, in the in-" s *
t •lligeuce, th<* patriotism, firmness and hon
esty of these men to believe, that they will suf-j
fer themselves, to be 'hus gulled,or ii fluer.ced
by the vap >rings of a misguided party z<-al.
No, they will treat this insult, upon their in-j
tegrttv anfl understanding, with that contempr*
it so richly merits at th -ir ha ids.

We publish below. Governor Troup’s letter
<n reply to an mvit ii'oti of tile citizens of Ma

tins letter, expresses a wish for t ie success of
the State Ri-gh «P o ty. The principles of

are to be attained, sb mid It • well defined be
fore we concur tn he wish for its success. If
G >ve>n >r Troon means that a Sta’e has the
const PDiiomtl right to nullify a law oT the Gen
era! Goverrnnent, we cannot, believing as we
do, that the vi me.dy. if carried into practical
operation would subvert the Government, co
incide in his “ wishes.” But if Governor
roup has reference to the ballot box, the rem
edy heretofore advocated by him, ns the only x
coustn iti-mul means by which “ a vicious and y
corrupt Government” is to be purified, then
we heartily concur in Irs “ wishes.” It will
nm, however, we piesu tie, be contended that
Governor Troup, pointing as bo does to the
success of tfie St ite Rights Party, now con
tends for tuts remedy. What remedy does-,

propose for real, or supposed usurploOns of
the General Government.? Nuil.ficalioti. &u l
