But she evils resulting from th® prevalance
of nullification are no half told. I; has alien
atcd tiie affections of the people from their
government, and weakened the confidence of
thousands in the great fundamental principles
which lie at the foundation of our political in
stitutions— It Ims engendered a spirit of dis
union and discord, tending to a severance of
li:e union, to anarchy and civil commotion.
It Las dissevered the bonds of private'!
friendship—invaded the circle of domestic!
happiness—arrayed the. father against the son,
and the brother against the brother—nor has
the holy sanctuary escaped its fierv visita
lions. M n who once worshiped at the same
alter—who mingled their prayers and thanks
givings to the throne of the eternal—who unit
ed their supplications for faith tn this world
and salvation in the next, are now strangers
and a'iens from each other. Atfd such is the
angry spirit of nullification —and such the de
plorable s ; ate of society m South Carolina,
brought on bv thi- firebrand of discord.
We might stop here, but the picture is not
full; and we. ask, where are those sixty <<r sev
entv thousand people, who have emigrated
from South Carolina, within the last three
years ? They are gone, and forever, from the
land of their birth and the home of their fath
ers, to seek peace and quiet among strangers.
Thev have fled away fiom the wrath of nulli
fication leaving nothing behind, bat friendships
dissolved-—affection broken—confidence de
stroyed—religion prostrated, and a country
ruined.
Tins, r eilow citizens, is no fancy sketch,
but a faithful history of the effects of nullifi
cation upon the interests and happiness of the
people of Carolina, not to speak of the test
oath and the enormous debt which her milita
ry preparations have accumulated upon her
people, and which in the shape of tuxes, they
will sooner or later he called on to bear.
Let any man compare South Carolina now,
with her condition five years ago, and tell us
what she has gained by nullification. Let him
compare tho condition of her citizens with
those of Georgia, and ask himself, if he is pre
pared for the same round of confusion and
mischief in his own slate? if he is willing to
trust the interests and happiness of a people,
in the fol) enjoyment of heavens richest boun
ties to the hazardous experiment of nullifica
tion, w ith a knowledge of its disasterous re
sults upon a neighboring State? We trus
not.
Nullification has been weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting—it has had a fa r
trial in one st ile—and thank God io out only;
and that one, it has carried to the verge of ruin.
May Georgia learn wisdom from experience
and shun the evils of nullification.
From the Federal Union.
EFFECTS of nullification.
H«w mor il evil was introduced first into
H' n*en. and secondly into our world, lias
puzzled iiio most eminent divines of every ige
to account for on rational principles. None
but those who charge God foolishly, can pre
sume to say tb it he is I e anthm of evil , for
according to his own » J word, when he
Lad finished all the works oi -rention, he not
only pronounced them go-'d, but very good
AVe see under the wise anangemeius of a gra
cious Providence in those happy days when
men enjoyed the approving .snides of his heni
ficent Creator, a union existed; and ;t appears
dial ut i de} d c» on each othsr and upon
Gi d. was nfsii'h a na.ure, .hat if Hus un >i,
wt» d.ssci.ed, they would he eternally undone
mid most be tnisi-r ihle. not mil', through urns,
but through eiwmiiv. Now if we can find out
how tins union was broken, who did it, aid by
whiit means it was accomplished, wo shall
come very near the or>gm of evil- We learn
from the sacred canon, that an angel of the
highest order in ih<- C arts of Heaven, wished
to aspire to ,1 st !l lusher and more elevated
station, and even wished, if pos-itde, to fill the
highest s, at in the ronitH of Heaven—to ef
fect this, he found means to influence others
to join him in tins enterprise with a promise
no doubt, of dignified offices. Accordingly
he undertook to nullity the Supreme law of
Heaven, and thereby set aside the authority
of the Mos’ High, and even presumed to pre
pare and raise impious w r tn Heaven, hut il
resulted not onlv in the loss of lha’ station he
might have filled with dignity and honor; but
it dissolved the union on which fits eternal
happiness was prized, and he was hurled over
the battlements nt Heaven, down to hell, and
there I v vanquished in the fiery gulf. This
is the i fl’e i of the first act of nullification; it
dissolved the union that cemented 'he angelic
songs'rrs above. and has made a devil of an
angel and a hell for his followers. Hence we
find he be« amc a confirmed nullifier—he now
found himself under the sen roce of eternali
bains' in* io *r<>ii God and from the glory of
his power. He next i esolves to draw as mani
into tbo wlurp-vol of de-paii with himself,
as h<« possibly cout.il.and to effect this, ho set
out in quest of the happy couple which he
knew had beta I felv crested ami fixed some
where in the immensity °l God’s works, in or
der to promulgate th n doctrine of Nullification
—he arrives at length on ihv’ borders of Eden
finds Adam and Eve basking under the shady
bowers of that delightful place, where moig-
Jed sweets of harmony an I leve in nch profu
sion, hung upon every bough. and gentle gales
to w aft their songs of grates ul piai.-e o.n high,
when angel- flww around them and epread >
their golden wings, and Heavenly conve.'se
daily passing there in this happy state, and un- ■
ion and communion with God. did this old
nullifier find our federal head. Vid although j
cur first parents wt-re in possession of ihe rich- j
est gifts of Heaven, this old nullifier beg in to I
preach nullifies .on to them, knowing <hst if he j i
could get to nullify the law, n wo >ld ureak ue
harp*- union with their ( reator T" effect I
this, he made great i remises to them told <
them it they would t< .Hit v. they should l*e-! I
cbme m gods, and give he lie io Omnipotence j i
end said they should not die: at length he sue* ' I
reeded, end Aua*u and Eve nullified; which
broke the union, despoiled Eden. and brongh
>n death and ail our we<». Here the bla< '
urtains of nullification w ere hung out whicj
have li d the face of God from us, and haw
cast a disnril gloom over the whole empire •«
nature. What must have been ihe feelings <r
Adam and Eve, when with wardering step*
and slow, from Eden hey tooK their solitary
way. This was the fruit of the second act of
nullification. At this lime there were but three
nullifiers; and on then- account the earth wa
cursed, and a hell prepared to receive them,
and i am dt< id-div of opinion, had there nev
er been a null ifier, there never would have
been a hell for mere would be no use f- r such
a place. But tins old nully preached Ins mil
tificauon to Adam’s family, prevailed with
Cain to nullify. Now the Almighty had giv
on such evident tokens of his displeasure at
nullification, that he thought it sufficient to
have deterred any one on eanh’or in Heaven
trom committing the horrid act again. He
determined to sei a mark npon him, that all
the world might know that God was angry at
nullifi is; now tins mark is thought by manv
to have been black, and with what astonish
ment and confusion would the nulhfiers of
South Carolina and Georgia look upon one
another, if God was to set a dark spot on ea* h
of their foreheads, the size of a Spanish dol
lar, (in the place ofth»- Star that they have
placed on their hats I) Thus you see the third
act of nullification made ns author a fugitive
and a vagabond on the earth.
Before I come to a close, I wish to say
something to the clergymen of South Carolina
and Georgia, who have advocated and do yet
advocate nullification; which I shall do by tak
ing a comparative vie wof the conduct of Ba
la im with B dak. Now this Bal ik was king
of the Moabites, and he wished to nullify the
claim or title the children of Israel had fur tha
country, from the hand of the Lord. And for
this purpose, he called up-m Balaam to come
and curse this people, believing him to be a
man of God. And when we examined he con
duct of Balak closely, there appears to be a
great similarity between him and me leaders
of Nullification in South ( arolina and Geor
gia—for B dak prepared a great feast; we find
there were large offerings and sumptuous ban
quets prepared by him at different times and
ai different places; tn like manner have the Ba
laks of S -uth Carolina and Georgia, many
sumptuous I anquets, and lor the very same
put pose that Balak prepared his; Balak wan
ted the greatest and happiest nation on the
face of the earth cursed, ihe only people that
was blesst d wuh civil and religious liberty.
And it is surprisingly strmge, how ihe Balaks
of feoutli Carolina and Georgia have got the nul
hfiers io i urse Jn< kson and the Congress, and
the great body of ihe American people, for this
is certainly known o be one of the most prom
inent features tn the character and conduct of
the nullifiers- Bith lit be remembered by
every well thinking mm, that it is the preroga
tive <4 God (alone) ’o curse. And when Ba
laam was called on for that purpose, he was
told distinctly not logo, but on a second return
of the messenger, he went—and went contra
ry m the voice of Heaven, -and was stoped by
one of those heavenly Vistbrnts. w m constantly
minister to those who shall be heirs of salva
tion; God did not want Balaam to goto a nul
lification feast, but Balaam went under the idea
of being exalted—and although he did not
curse ’he Tsrealit sh naticn, it appears ‘lie rea
*so was he w-s p■- uritteH i do it; and i’o-
I this very act some divines sa; .hat the spin
o God forsook him; for there is no reasonable
ground to hope (hat he is saved. But I have
a different opinion as respect* his salvation,
although he was slain bv the Isrealites or the
union partv; it only served as an example to
other people who were or are of the house
hold of fai h, for visiting such feats, without
it should be for the express purpose of healing
the disease, rather than to catch it and give it
an extensive spread, and pray for the spread of
confusion throughout our land, md its success.
Such people must stand on one side < f the true
intent and meaning of the Gospel, it must be
‘ supposed that their 'heme is for the things of
, this world, and not for the peace and harmony
>of our conn rv. Now I am confident that God
j never called any preacher in Smith Carolina
>or Georgia, to a nullification feast; and yet
: manv have gone, and had their horses spoken
! as Balaam’s did and reproved them for going,
it would have saved me the trouble; and al
j though they mav not have called upon God
directly, to curse this Gov rmn.mt and nation,
I yet they mingled wnh the crowd, and appro
bated the conduct ol those who did Curse the
Government, and they call' d upon G d to
bless those drunken rabbets of nu'hfiers, and
Ito bless the sumptuous banquets prepared for
( the rebellious crew, whose sole object was
i then (as is now rn mifest) to break the union
of the States, and overthrow the Government.
And it is certain, that the Nulhfiers of S.
Ca-olin i and Georgia resort to the same rules
and measures that the old nully the devil did.
i to irv tn accomplish his doing, that is recorded
,in tne 4‘h rh ipter of Matthew. The leaders
of nullification tn s outn Carolina and Georg’ i.
promise the neople, that money shall be plen
ty, produce a great price, and oat such ar >
cles as the commonality of men need shall t><
cheap, (just about as much truth in one pro
mise as the other.) As it is not in the po »»•
of a <ew individuals io raise the prirc of pr
dure, neither is it to dissolve me Union. n*
i ther was it in the power of the te.i] to g.
CTnst to worship him —Then-foie let Cfin
tarn* look on Christ ns their leader and •!
likewise. To all such as nave been earn
away to this political aersesy, I invite you

and cleave tn ihe Union, is you would to ’

From Ihe Southern Banner.
In the Southern Whig of he 9th uh., it
stated bv Reuben Thornton, Thomas Ifoll ie
and Andrew Barr in 'heir address “ To th
Public,” that Cap? II >lland, ns one of ti«
Committee to make arrangements for (he cel
ebrition of the 4th >f July last, a* G onesv'lle
“gave orders o a negro man to hoist a flag
vhich he gave him, on the top of the Cam-
House; and ha ving other business to attend
'<>, was absent at ’lie time the order was ex
ecuted. Some off)' to is, unauthorized indivi
duals who were not members of the State
Rights' party, inflneneed the servant who knew
no better, to obt on a large bunch of hickory
bushes, and tie them around ihe top of the
sttff, to which th<“ fl us "as suspended, evident
ly with s view to insult tb« par’v who had or
dered the fl ig to be hoisted, (. apt H. was
•absent fmm i nvn t' at night, and was unap
prized <>f the H ckory bushes being united with
the flag, until ins return on the next morning,
when he promptly ordered his servant to go
up and knock them
The above statement is given, as compris
ing all the fads of th*> transaction,and contains
Jour positive averments.
1. That Thomas Holland, as one of the
Committee of arraugemt ms, had ’he flag hois
ted on the Court house by a negro.
2. That Thorn vs Holland gave the flag to
the negro.
3. That some oflkious unauthorized indi
viduals influenced tint negro to obtain and tie
a large btim h of hickory bushes around the
top of thr* fl tg staff.
4 .That the aforesaid Thomas Halland
made his servant go up and only knock off the
bushes.
I will now relate the true circumstances of
that transaction, which will be fonud to be
confirmed by the following certificates, sign
ed by gentlemen of the first respectability in
Gainesville, and conclusively showing, that
neither of the foregoing averments are cor
rect.
About fifteen months past some of the citi
zens of Gainesville procured a flig by subscrip
tion. On the 4th of July, 1833, this flag was
suspended on a 'all pole, capped with hickory
leaves, in a few feet of the Court house, \gain
on the first Monday in Octobet 1833, it was
with htckoiy leaves, suspended on tho same
pole, a few days thereafter the fl ig was taken
down it my instance, and laid away tn the desk
of my store-house, where it remained until the
third dav oi July last; in the afiernoon of that
day, I seni a u'hitc man living with tne, to pro
cure some hickory bushes, and when he re
turned with them, I h- d the flag brought down,
the hickory bushes lied around the top of a
staff, the flag attached, and then took them to
the new Court House, hired a white man and
two negroes, who were working on the Court
House, to hoist the flag on the lop thereof.
The next morning, being the 4*h of Joly, rhe
atnresaid Thomas Holland, called to me and
oidered me lake the flag down; on my refus
ing to do so, he sent his own servant up, made
him sup the flag florn ’he. staff and then order
ed him to throw the flag, slajj and hushes from
the top of the Court house to the ground,which
]" as done by the servant. He then mde his
I sei ■ . -rv ■ s fl .-ii- ■ v aed i* was no'
[ hoised or seen a.»y mure that day. This was
I the onlv flag f oisted on the Cour! house in
■ Gainesville. How then could Thomas Hol
land have this flag elevated by a negro, when
I myself had it done by a white man and two
negroes ? How could Thomas Holland have
given this flag to a negro when it had never
been out of my possesion ? How could offi
cious persons have mfl enced 'Thomas Hol
land’s negro, or any negro employed by him,
to atia' h the hickory bushes, when neither
Thoma- Holland's negro, or any one employ
ed by him had any thing to do with the put
ting up of th flig? H >w could Reuben Thorn
ton, Thomas Hofland and Andrew Barr, ob
tain their consent to publish to the world, that
the aforesaid Thoma* Holland sent his servant
up only to knock off the bvshes when it is pro
ven l>v the certificates below, 'hat he ordered
and compelled his servant to pull down the Jlag
also ?
I have been told that a small stand of colors
belonging to a horse company, was afterwards
placed m th” Court House during the delivery
of the S’ate Righ s’oration—and it is strongly
suspected that this was done to allav the in
dignation of the people, manifested bv ’hem
when they came in from ’he country and were
informed that a man, calling himself an Am
erican Citizen, had made bi* negro roar down
and throw the “ American Flag'* into the
dust.
