DOUGHERTY, ) Ad Dsc. 8—38— 4rtd. public the various works" issued from the press, through the means of reviews, in which their beauties or defects are pointed out, appears to be so generally adopted in Great Britain and the United States, that ao acquaintance with the most popular periodicals of this class has now become a positive requisite for every om who takes an ioterosl in the progress of general liters turo and science. These Reviews not only serve what may bo termed the cream of all the publications worth being noticed, and thus enable the reader to acquire a knowledgeof books which he may not wish to purchase or with which he may desire to enlarge his library, but 'hey, at the same time, present to him the taste and judgement of the Reviewers, who are usually men of letters, capable not only of expressing their opinions in appropriate language, but able to embellish their criti cisms with sensible or profound disquisitions upon mat ters connected with the subjects before them. Re views, in fine, as conducted at the present day, consti tute a sort of abridgments of works which can never reach t 1 e great mass of readers, and, at the same time, give atone to tho literature of a country, and a circula tion to Knowledge—the great source of nnfional pros perity and power—which it could not otherwise attain. The four principal Reviews now published in Great Britain, are, the Edinburg, the Quarter!;, the Foreign Quarterly, and the Westminster. Of the two first, an American Edition has, for many years, been published, at Boston. Of the last two, none has heretofoie been undertaken; and, as they are of more recent origin than the others, and are not so well known on thi* side of tho Atlantic, it may be expedient to state a few words in relation to them. The Foreign Quarterly was es tablished in 1827, is conducted with greot talent, and is especially devoted tocriticism* upon publications which first appear on llieCon‘i»**nl of Europe. The Westmin ster was commenced in 1824, is edited with signal abili ty and spirit, and advocates the most liberal principles of legislation and reform. To the American scholar and miscellaneous reader, the possession of one or both of these Reviews, is a great dcsidcra'urn ; but their cost ahmad, which is 6 shillings aterliui! oich No., amounting at the par of exchange, to 55 76 per annum for each Review, be sides the expenses of importation, has hitherto limited their circulation. To obviate this difficulty, is the dc-* sign of these proposals ; and, when the Publisher states that it is liia intention to furnish the two Reviews at less than tlu price at which either of them can now be procured, he trust that he will he considered as offering to the patronage of the reading community a publication de serving of tho general support. This he will be enabled to do, in part, by having no editorial services to pay for, the expense of which adds so greatly to the cost of an original Review, and in part by the employment ol smaller type than that used in the originals, which will require a less quantity of paper, and thus not only re duce the postage upon copies which go by mail, but di minish the number of volumes to be bound at the cod of the year. TERMS. 1. The edition of the United Foreign Quarterly and WVstminstei Reviews, will b»- published in Quarterly »f about 144 pages octuvo, upon paper oi equal quality with that generally used fur periodicals of (hat class, in brevier type and double columns, each number containing the entire contents of the Corrcspoi linn nriainwl 2 There "ill be no intermixing of the matter of he two Reviews, each one constituting a work by itself, if four quarterly Nos., making, in the year, one volume d about 576 pages. 3.

The crisis is at hand when nverv American citizen must nsk himself, Shall the Union of these States be preserved ? It is impos'ible longer to shu! otir eves lo It e design of the leading Nollifiers of South Carolina; It is to dissolve the Union, peacea bly if they can, forcibly if they must.'’ They delude some of I etr honest follower, by the pretence that Nullification is not hostile lo the Union; hut this mask is only worn until they ean work up the minds of Iheir partiznns to fheir own desperate resolves. Nullification of the Tariff laws is hill the first step towards setting a* defiance nil the laws of the General Government and adjuring tho constitution it self. Every act of tho louders, however dis guised. tends directly to this result. Shall the Union be preserved 1 This is a solemn question which it Iteromes us nil well to consider. Itis no party question. It is a question on which all parlies and nil persons who love their country, under whatever ban ner they may have fought in the recent elec tions, may meet and harmonize. It docs not involve the question whether this man or tliut shall be President, but whether the United States slinll ever have another President ? It ts not a question in relation to the policy w hich the Government ought to pursue, but it relates to the existence of the Government itself. Here then is the basis of n grent patriotic pnrtv, an UNION PARTY—a party to pre serve tho Union, adopting ns its motto the declaration of our venerable Chief Magistrate. “THE FEDERAL UNION MUST BE PRESERVED.” Under this motlo, and with this object, every true patriot, whatever mav be his opinions of men, or his views of national policy, may rally. To preservo our national existence is a thousand times more important than who shall be our rulers, or what will bo Iheir policy. Otic set of men will ho rcplnced liy another, and the policy of one ad ministration may lie changed by tho next ; but when the bonds of this glorious confedera cy shall be broken asunder, it will be dissol ved forever. The patriotism and disinteres tedness of the revolution ato gone; the great men of that day are ehiefly in their graves ; the Inst signer of tho Declaration of Indepen dence is no more ; nnd the Inst President of the revolutionary slock now presides over our destinies. Annlhnrset of men have sprung up. distinguish'd for venniity and reckless ambition—men who reg rd tho Government sury, money beyond unr wants ? Why is it that while nil petty States and great national have difficulty m finding objects of taxation capable of yielding a revenue equal In their necessities, we are at n loss what to do with the superabundant contents of wnr Treasury, From the Mncnn Advertiser.

Whal do they propose to give you, people of South Cnroli na ? Their first great gift to von will ho BLOODY WARS. The .Yation of South Carolina must have her armies and her navies, nnd sometimes Iter enemies. For tho smiles of peneo and plenty which tho Union gives her, she will sue occasionally a devastated country and her cities in flames. Invading armies will traverse her territory, r.ot like peaceful clouds raining fatness, hut blasting her fair fields with .showers of blood, l’cr- chanco a war of the Helots may send ven geance and murder into Iter bedchambers, break up the very foundation uf her society, nod leave Iter little better than n desolated waste. But suppose that victory always por ches upon the Palmetto nod glory encircles the banner of South Carolina, whal then ? Will her people be more blest ? Will she even gain lhal free trade and no tariff for which her leaders are preparing to sever her from the Union? Her nrmtes nnd navies must be paid. Glory cannol be purchased by blood alone. It costs money also; it flourish es in oppression and misery, in groans and tears ; it makes the palace bright hul the col lage gloomy.

Our fathers knew that the Stales could not separately resist, with success, the usurpa tions of the British crown. The ideas of re sistance and of Union, originated together.— A partial Union was effected before Iho com mencement of the revolutionary war, which bernmo more Ultimate in its prog-ess. In union was the war commenced ; hi union was independence proclaimed ; in union was li- liery conquered and peaco re< ein d. W dll out iiiiion the States would never have resist ed, or if thpy had, would have been easily con quered, one by one. To the union therefore did our fntliers owe their independence and liberty. Peace came nnd the Union wns still mam- luined. A few years’ experience proved that iho terms of Union which had answered the end during the pressure of war, were inade quate to preserve liberty and pence after its close. .Stales refused lo discharge their fed eral duties according to the compact ; discon tent and rebellion were spreading through the land. Our great men became convinced, that a more perfect Union” wns essential to pre serve justice, liberty und peace, and to effect il, devised our presonl constitution, which was approved arid adopted by the people of llie se veral States. Since the adoption of that instrument, Imw wonderful has linen our progre-s ! Our terri tory has been more tlmn doubled. Our Stales have increased from thirteen to twenty-four.— Our population lias increased from aboul three millions to thirteen. Oor wealth has nog- nettled more than a hundred fold. Our peo- pie are Jt tinguished for intelligence, enter- prize, industry, ingenuity, comfort nnd general morality, beyond any other people. We have paid off th< debt accumulated in two expen sive wurs, and are just ready In present our selves lo the world a disenthralled and happv people. Within llm three last years the taxes on many nrtieles of consumption have been reduced or repealed, nnd other material reduc tions wdl soon he made. We have become the envy nnd admiration of tho world, by the signal success of our groat federal experiment. Does the Union yield no benefits to our people now, und promise none hereafter, that we should throw it away like a child’s bauble ? What is il that preserves perpetual ponce be tween twenty-tour rival and sovereign slates? What is it that makes one little army and one little Navy udeqnato to the protection of twen ty-four independent nations? What is it whieli has enabled uato pay off our war debts hy dit ties on imports alono, and bring into the Trca- Duffie, or some Hamilton, may become n great man, n warrior, a hero’; but will (lint give South Carolina freo trade? Win re will come the revenues to support the great man and the instruments of his greatness f Why, people of South Carolina, yon will pay larifl’upon your imports nnd your exports, taxes upon your negroes, your lands, yoor houses, your furniture and your carriages ; excised upon your bread and your drink ; ground down to the very dust with taxes of all sorts, forms nnd names, a thousand times more oppressive lliun yoor orators pain- the piescnl lanff. You will have custom liosses upon every road leading into nn adjoining Stale, with tlieo armies of attendants; your post office establishment must lie confined to your own liinita ; letters will ho charged with many limes their present rates, and correspon deuce with other Stales obstructed if not cut off. All these independent establishments, armies, navies, custom house nfliuirs, excise men, postmasters, See. &c. must be supported out of the toil and sweat id' the penplo of South Carolina, Anil fur whal? To gel rid of an oppressive tariff? No, for she would bring »n her-ulf oppressions u thousand times more heavy. No; it is not to get rid of the tariff II is to make more great men to feed on the people. It is lo enable those who can not teed upon the people of the United Stnten, to feed on those of South Carolina. We have not governments enough fur our great men ; the people are not ground down enough; enough of llictr substance is not filched from them to support fiery ambition and princely Millcdgeville, Dec. 5, 1832. n'ootl Lawn, 29/A Nov. 1832. NIy Dear Sir,—I perceive from (he News- papers that you have iulroduced a bill for call ing a Southern Convention, with a view to counteract the proceedings of the nullifying Convention. I thank you for tho effort which you liavo made, and hope that your further ef forts will ho crowned with success. Itis dif ficult to determine who is the must intrepid in the race of inconsistency ; the Governor or Col. Berrien. The former after laying down abstract principles in his message which it is presumed will satisfy tho wildest nulltfier in South Curnhna, comes out with an express denunciation of nullification, because he says it is a mystery he cannot comprehend. If the reason for the rejection of nullification ahould he applied hy the Governor to almost any sub ject in etlucs, philosophy, or politics, he would find himself utmost n Pyrrhonist, for there is scarcely a subject in those ample branches of liumnii knowledge, In which he might not tio tilde In make the same objection, viz: thal he did not romprehend them. The Governor ought, I think, to be allowed credit for his de nunciation ; for lie has placed it in such /njttn- position willi his nullification premises, that ho seems to have courted the enviable distinction of being conspicuously inconsistent. The Col. although he has not manifestly courted the distinction which tho Governor has sought with a degree of intrepidity rarely displayed by a soltlior in storming a hotlcry, is nevertheless entitled at least, to n wreath of the crown with which tho Governor has with so much gallant ry encircled his brow. Tho Col. on the 1st lay of August last at Athens, declared lus hostility to nullification; that declaration has been repeated at various times and under various circumstances down to tho second Saturday in November, only two days before tlto meeting of the Convention, yet in Ilia course of iho next week, lie presents the Con vention, with the following resolution, viz; uib, “ That it isesaen'inl to u confederated government, the powers of which are express ly limited by the C institution which created it, that there should exist somewhere a power aiitlioriiatively lo interpret that instrument, to du m the last resort on the use or abuse of llm authority, which it confers on the common agent of the confederated Slates ; that sorli power cannot belong to Iho agent, sinco that would ho (o substitute bis judgment for the constitutional limitation, nnd that in the nli- soneo of n common nr Idler expressly designa ted by the Constitution for llits purpose, each Stale ns su< li in virtue of its sovereignly,is ne cessarily reunited lo tho exercise of that right.” If the foregoing resolution dors not recog nise the right uf nullification as broadly and explicitly as the most visionary nullificrin S. Carolina desires it, then I am no judge of Ilia English language. But ibis is not tho only inconsistency Ctd. Berrien’s resolutions in volve him in. The last printed speoch of Itis which lias boon seen by tne, was delivered in the county of Burke; in thut speech he oppo sed a Southern Convention and declared it to bn unconstitutional, unless il was intended to be consullntivo nod recommendatory only, in which enso it might bo harmless from its im becility. Among the resolutions adopted hy the Convention (drafted as it is understood hy Col. Berrien,) n Southern Convention' is ro- commended without specifying the numhor of Stnles nceessury lo form such Con vention, or defining with precision its powers arid duties. Is this Convention to be consul tative and recommendatory only? Then in tho language of the Col. ol Bnrke, it is imbe cile nod therefore harmless. Is it to assume indolence.

I trust not. I think I know the people of Georgia belter thmn the Colonel. They will not approve of an urieon- stilutional measure as long na there remains a constitutional one unexhausted, and they will approve of an imbecile measure under no cir- curnslancns. Such a measure can never ho right, ean never he acceptihle to an enlighten ed nnd free people. It is not tny intention to endeavor to discover Col. Berrien’s motives m the maze of inconsistency into which ho has fallen, and hua had the misfortune to draw others.
