The President dis tinctly intimates flint it is his determination tr exc-t the right of putting down the opposition ol ''outh-Carolinn to the 'I'tiriir, bij force of .'Inns. Ho believes himself invested with power to do this under that provision of the Constitution which directs him "to take cure that the laws I10 faithfully executed.” Now if by has it was only meant to bo asserted that umlor the laws of Congress now of force, the President would feel himself bound to aid the civil tribunals in tho manner therein prescri bed, supposing such laws to he constitutional, no just exception could bn taken to this asser tion nf Uxeeiiiivo duty. Rut if, ns is ni iiii- t. * !v intended, the President sets up the eliiiin ta judge far himself in what manner the laws are to ho enforced, and feels himself at liberty to call forth tho militin, and even tho military and tiiivnl forces of tho Union, against the Slate of Sonlli-Carolina, her constituted uu- thorite’., and citizens, then it is clear that he assume.* „ power not only not conferred on the Executive by the constitution, hat winch be. ■ to no despot upon earth exercising n less u authority Ilian the Autocrat of,all the I f< until we shall huve obtained “ c.frcsh under standing of the bargain," nnd restored the It- ' crttes for which they fought nnd hied.

The system hy which Tyrants in every ago have attempted to obliterate this sentiment and to ririish the spirit of the people, consist* ttt the skilful employment of promises mid threats, in alternate efforts to encourage their hopes and excite their tears—to show that ex isting evils are exaggerated, the danger of re sistance great—anu the difti aillios in the way of success insuperable ; nnd finally to sow dissenlioiis among the peopln by creating jeal ousies mid exciting a distrust of those whose counsels nnd example may lie supposed to have an important bearing on the succoss of their cause. duty to watch over and oppose any infraction of those principle which constitute the onlv basis of that union, because a faithful observance of them can alone secure it* existence ; that slut venerates tho constitution and will protect and defend it,‘ against every aggression either foreign or domestic,’ hut above all, that she estimates as beyond all prico her LIBERTY, which she ,s unalterably determined never to surrender while she his the power to main tain it.” The President denies in the most positive terms tho right of a State under any circum stances to s.-cedo from the Union, nnd puls this denial <10 the ground “ that from the lime the States parted with so many powors ns to ronsliiule jointly with the other Slates n single nation, they cannot from that period possess any right to secede."

A nd what is our present condition ? W. ' ed hy the ordinary course of judi cial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals hy this Act, it shall bo law I'ul for tho President of the United Suites to cull forth the militia ol sucli Stale, or of at:: other State or Srates, a* may be neeossmy to sup press aiicli emnbinatieus, and lo cause the La* * to bp duly executed." The words here used, though they might be supposed t«. tie very comprehensive in l> cir import, are restrained by thoso which follow. Rv the next section it is declared that “ when- ev. i it riNiv be necessary in tho judgment of the PresidHut to use tire military force hereby dneet, d io he called forth, tho President slmll forthw ith, bv Proclamation, command such in surgents to Disperse and rotiro peaceably to their respective abodes within a limited lime.” On reading those two sections together, it is manifest (hat they relate entirely to combina tions of individuals acting of themselves with out any lawful authority. The constituted authorities ai ling undnr the lawa of the State, and its citizens yielding obcdienco to its coni- m inds, oamiot possibly he considered as a tn-ie o.nb forming combinations against the authorm and laws of the Union, lobe disper sed hy an Kxecutivo Proclamation, and any ntte’t>|ii so to irent them would lie a gross and palpable violation of the sovereign author ily ot the Stale, and an offence punishable ertnti- nsllv in her own Courts. Whether tho lain PioelWmalion oflhe President was intend d as a compliance with the provisions of this act, doc* not very clearly appear, lint if so, it can only ho considered a* directed against the Slate, since the Laws of iIip United Styles have certainly not been forcibly obslrurled by combinations of my sort, and it is certainly worthy of observation that the command exten ded to the peoplo is not that they should dis perse, but thot they should re-assemble in Con- veution and repeal the obnoxious Ordinance. government, hero would hnve been tin occasion, when she must have felt horsclf impelled hy every impulse of patriotism and evert- sentiment of duly, to sittud Ibrih, in open defiance of the arbitrary decrees of the executive, when a sovereign Stale is denoun ced, her authority derided, Iho allegiance nf hor citizens d-uiiedptiid she is threatoned with military power to reduce tier to obedience lo the will of t.tio of thu functionaries of thu federal government, by whom she is comman ded to “tear from her archives” her most.so lemn decrees—surely the lime has come when it musi bo seen whether tho people of tho sev eral States hnve indeed lost tho spirit of the' revolution, nnd whether thoyure to become the willing instruments of on unhallowed despo tism. Iu such a sacred cause South Carolina will feel that she is striking nut for her own, hut the liberties of the Union and the rights of MAN, nnd sho confidently trusts that the issue nf this,■oiliest will he nn example to free- men and a lesson to rulers throughout the world. Fellow-citizens—In the nnmc and bo Imlf oflhe State of South Carolina, I do onco more solemnly warn you against all attempt to sedaco you from your primary allegiance to the State—I charge you to ho faithful In your duty ns citizen* of South Carolina, nnd earnestly exhort you to disreg nrd thoso “vain menaces” uf military force, which, if the Pres, ident, in violation of all Ins constitutional ob ligations,nnd ofyotti- most sacred rights, should ho tempted to employ, it would become your mn duty nt nil hazards to resist. I require litivc an orguaized Government, nnd n population three | *° ho Fully prepared, lo sustain the dignity times as grout as that which existed in ’70.

Iii such a quarrel our duly to our cuurilry, our selves, arid our posterity, is ton plain to be misluken. Wo will stand upon the soil of (..'aroliiiu and maintain tho sovereign authority of the State, or lie buried beneath its ruins. As unhappy Poland fell before the power of tho autocrat, so may Carolina lie crushed by the power ot her enemies; hut Poland was not surrounded by free nnd independent Sla'es, interested, liko herself in preventing tho estab lishment of tho very tyranny which iliov are called upon to impose upon a sister Stnlo. If in spito of our common kindred, and common interest, the glorious recollections of tho past, curetli fur Ins children." inspire us with that HOLY ZEAL IN A GOOD CAUSE, which IS tile bos safe-guard of our Rights and htnEKTiES.
