soliciting a grant which they knew that a mi. nnrity exceeding one fourth was predetermined to refute. It i* already we think sufficiently proved, that a minority exceeding one fourth, Jiaa nut the rnnilituliomil right to tmptise itA own con- atrurlion on a majority. Rut there ie a farther evidence which appear* to in tin striking, that it would be improper to pas* it entirely, with' out notice. If the framer* of the constitution designed, that such a minnrily should have the right .of laying an interdict, nn the exercise of any power which it considered unconstitu tional, why did not these framer* plainly any au? Why did they not indicate the manher, in which that right was to bn enforced?— There was no motive, no apology for a myste* rioua silence. They might have simply pro- vided, that the declaration of this mi|pnrilv, through their respective stale legislatures, or conventions, should be sufficionl for the pur pose. . Instead of milking this obvious provis ion or any other equivalent to it, they did not even grant to such a minority, the right of call ing a convention—a privilege which belongs on a majority, is in thebigheet degreo chimer ical—that thoie who rcaort to nullification aa a peaceful remedy, are rushining blindfold in. to hostility. The nullifiera have spoken of •he natural right of parties, each to interpret a compact for itself, a* if it were a constitution al right, whose exercise is compatible with the mainlenence of a common government; when it is palpably in efTect, the mere privi- lege of mutual warfare. In iperulating on the interpretation of the constitution, they en tirely forget that the states which ratified this instrument, adopted it at a tchole, and as much for the sake of the powers, which they suppo- aed it to confer on the general government, as for the sake of those, which thev supposed it to reserve to the stales individually. They forget, that the opinion of any atntn, beiieving a power to have been delegated, is entitled to os much consideration as the opinion of ano ther state, believing it to have been reserved — Finally, they forget, that in every disputed case, where there was a variance in tho origin al understanding of the parties, the intentions nt one side or tho other mint necessarily be &encrat gnteUfgener. only to Congress, acting on the application* {frustrated \ nnd that this unavoidable triconve of two thirds o( 'he Slates. Here then, if we admit the prete .sions of the nullifiurs, is the most astonishing anomaly ever witnessed in government. The constitution intends that a momentuous power shall be possessed by a certain proportion of the States, nnd though an obvious mode might have hoer. provided, for its safe and easy exercise, no mode what ever was designated, and hitherto nono belter lias been devised, thnn the open resistance of a whole Slate, to a general law of land I It will lie difficult indeed to believe, that the sage authors of the constitution, wero guilty of such a blunder—ono which would disgrace tho bar barous legislation of a Tartar horde, or n Hot tentot krnnl. The necessity and the facility of prescribing regular means, for the exercise of emit a power, supposing it to exist, are both ao manifest, that the absence of sll provision of the kind, i* alone conclusive proof, 4hat the existence of the power itself, never was con templated. Tims we have shewn, (hot even if the major ity should as-eni In the calling of a convention, the nulnfiiiig minority must, nevertheless, foil in the iircomplishment of their purpose, since they could never cause their coe«irupiion to be recognised. F.uch party, «■ cording to 'he principle originally assumed, would remsin on the ground of its equal ripht, to “ judge for it self, as well ofinfractinn* as of the mode and measure of redress.” In such a position, lliero would be no impediment to hostilities, and un less one side or the other roceded, they must necssartl v ensue. If this is evident in the ab stract, it i* even more manifest, in the case of the existing tariff taw, on which it ia propos ed that the experiment of nullification shall bo tried. Suppose, that by tho operation nfaurh a measure, the ports of South Cnrolinii are made free. If they remain so, amt tho stuto . ia still la be considered a member of the un ion, the pnneipto importation* of the whole country, must be ronconlrnted in those ports. Congress could not imnose duties on Ihoeons- ling trade—New York. Pennsylvania, and oth- cr times, could not afford to import directly from abroad, articles subject to a duly in their own ports, hut exempt from it in those of 8. Carolina ; and consequently, all pnrties of the union would probably obtain foreign tup. plies through Charleston. A* almost the whole fiscal resources of the government nrt- dertved from the custom house, it is evident, that there would bo nearly n total failure of the revenue. Other evils equally graat would ensue. Every holder of duliaole articles pur chased under the latifT would find them redu ced in value, to the amount of the duliea wliirh had been paid on them. Ship-owners, land- holders, merchants, artisans, all the tnltabi lant* of our large cities, who owe their proa perily or aubsiatence to foreign commerce, would be exposed to ruin and heggnry. All tho dependant agricultural districts would par ficipate in the shock. In the money market, ' 'which ia so sensitive to every political and commercial vicissitude, confidence would be destroyed, private credit- would he suspended, public credit would be menaced—embarrass ment, and bankruptcy would pervade the laud. la it reasonable to expect, that the other members otTlio confederacy will permit such a state of things to continue, or oven to com mence I If every party to the compact " has unequal right In judge fur itself, as well of in fraction, n* of the mode and measure of re dress surely this is q rase, in which Die majority would not fail to exerctaa their privi lege. Even the slates in the minority, depre cating aui-h a wild career of political innova tion, would nt least not disapprove the meas ure by whirh it was arrested., According to the latitude of choice conceded, by the funda mental principle of the nullifiera. the mnjoril.Vi might in these circmalam ea,adopt any mode of proceeding which teemed most expedient .The reasonable presumption however is, that the moat obvious, gentle, and effectual plan would be selected—that of immediately blockading nil the porta which had been made free. If the nutlifiing state did not then submit, it must resist by force, nnd the very first blow would be the commencement or civil war. It is su perfluous to enquire, by what tpeciea of pulit cal agency, the majority of states would, in the present instance, perform this indispensable duty of self defence. They would doubtless, without any reference to now funglrd theories, act through the instrumentality of the general government «hn»e dirertion is in their hamla. An objection from nny quarter, to this mode of operation, would bn unreasonable; hut coming from the nollfiers—those who claim for all parties, an equal right to judge of •• the mwU and measure of r.Jress,” it would bo su premely ridiculous. F,« m the premise., we think ourselves authonzed to conclude, that the holtevera m the doctrine ofnullfies.ion, la bour under an estieme deluainn-.h»i the pro tension of any mtnonly, exceeding one fourth, to impose its construction of the constitution nmnre may as properly be endured by seven, as by sevonteen—by any minority, as by any majority. When there is a material, and it^oncilahle difference of opinion, betwcon the pnrties to the Federal Compact, it is manifest, that se cession is the only effectual remedy for the weaker. It has indeed been maintained, that the secession itself, is only the right of nullify, ing the whole constitution and laws. Those who are misled by such an assertion, can have paid but littln attention to tho import of the words. Nullification is represented as an act performed under the constitution, nnd compat ible with the enntinunoro of the general gov ernment. Secession on tho contrary, as is implied by tho very term, dissolves the gov- eminent, releasing those tvho secede, from the obligations of the compact. To call acres- sion, therefore, a species of nullification, i* a mere solecism. Rut if is farther urged, that admitting the two measures to he essentially different; the scheme of nullification can at worst only evenuiale in the oilier, and in tho mean time is more gentle in its operation.— This is a most pernicious fallacy. Whenever secession is unequivocally proposed to the oeople, the data will be fairly before them— they will choose, with a full knowledge of the alternatives—they will decide their destiny in open day. But when nullification is re commended to them, as being, in fact, one of the best means of preserving the union, (not- withstanding we have seen that it is decidedly the reverse ;) if they credit such a representa tion, they have not tho true data before them —they are deciding upon premises absolutely false, and may precipitate themselves into a revolution, when their purposes are diametri cally opposite. The clnims of nullification to n greater gentleness nf process, are equally futile. If the southern states, impelled by ilHr wrongs, should through a convention, or any other manner, propose to the majority,that the Union lie dissolved hy common consent j cither those wrongs will he redressed, or their proposition will be accepted j for no rashton- al man will cherish the desperate project, of ret lining them in the union by foren. Tho parties would arrnnge tho terms of a peaceful separation. The laws of the general govern ment would be respected by both sides, until the moment of dissolution; and then the por*s of each becoming foreign to the other, their respective systems of impost could be enforced, without collision nr inconvenience.

The whole externul nrfoce of the wall is plaislered; and an awk ward attempt to paint them like blocks of mar ble or free stone, presents tho lively resem hlance of a harlequin’s jacket, or more nearly perhaps, that of a patch-work of boiled tripe ! What would Solomon aay of that, if ho could now publish a now edition of his proverbs ?— The new clmpel is externally a good imitation of grey granite and is n fine model ol Grecian architecture. Plain, chaste, neat and 83 far ns I can judge, the building and the doric col onade in front aro in just proportions.
