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 reconsiderymr conduct, nmj turn your com and cleave tn ihe Union, is you would to ’ last plana of a wrecked vessel to carry to shore, and let us unite in the earnest pr ers »o God to banish <iw tool fiend <*t dis from our happv country, a d that he mav keep such men as old indrew Jackson < hcltij of ottr government; who r:|| relieve Government of all unnecessary burthens, aiv’ D’eserve the Union of the S’ates.

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.
