From lie Federal Union.
The Snake is scotches, not killed.
The miilifiers are endeavoring to produce the
impression, that we keep up u hypocritical
clamor against nullification—-that they have
dropped the' controversy, and ice ought, lo lei
it die. They assail us with all the missiles
they can scrape together f- they endeavor to
breuk us down under the imputation-of all ilie
sins of federalism and consolidation ; and they
then have the effrontery to dictate to us, wliat
shall be the measure of our hostility, ami what
the mode of our warfare. W hile they strain
every nerve in attacking us, we. must never
reiurn a blow, lint must confipe ostr hands to
the care of self-delence. W f e apprehend no
danger fn.m their attacks ; hut we know the
vulnerable points uf our adversaries $ we know
where to aim our blows with effect ; and du
ty does not permit us to stay our hands at their
bidding. Their doctrines sre hostile to liber-
ty '-r when reduced to practice, they are fatal
to constitutional government; they are preg
nant with anarchy, and rapine, and slaughter;
thev thirst for the lilwid of countrymen, of
y.iyw.^ .rf m.Iuuii UI lumms .nitl sons
shed bv each others’ hands. We will not be
so fur forgetful of our duty, as to cover tlie
attempt to impose these doctrines by stealth
on our country. A deceptive silence shall
not lull our vigilance ;' and until our adversa
ries renounce them, they shall he met bv our
constant and stern denunciation. We know
that the snake is scotched, not killed. It is
'easv to explain the causes of the present seem
iug moderation of the nulltfiers. In Georgia
their doctrines have been condemned by the
people; it is impossible for the miilifiers lu re
to rise into power, without wearing a disguise ;
and they are now endeavoring to accomplish
by concealment and artifice, what they have
failed to effec by an open, and direct, and ve
hement advocacy ol'their doctrines. In South
" Carolina the seelning moderation ot the iiutli-
fiers in’ produced by different causes. They
-Had conducted that distracted Stale, blindfold,
■to (lie perilous edge of a war with the States
remaining united, under the hoj»e that she
would be sustained in lire hour of trial, by
■Georgia, and idher Staler of the South. But
■whan the crisis had arritfcd, when the issue
was made, when the palmetto flag of ihsur-
Traction was hong on the outer wall, South
Carolina stood alone ; and opposed to her was
the federal government, headed by a states,
man ol extraordinary talent, Vnergy, and pa
triolUm, and of great experience in war, rea
dy to follow the i-x unples of Washington and
Jefferson, in executing the laws of the Unions
and quelling insurrection; and sustained by the
other twcut .-three Slates remaining faithful'
to the constitution. We doubt not that a ve
ry large majority .of the nullifier* of South
Carolina are brave men ; hut to plunge into
a contest so unequal, would have indicated the
■ last extremity of madness ; and the miltifiers
lm«c oi«in icu «iiis ut cp iijtii imi'Cttluily me HOI-
ding humiliation, of placing their state in u
predicament, in which a regard for her safety
constrained her to retreat from a contest with
the powers of the Federal Union, which she
had hnnslingly challenged, and for which she
had madenoisv, bustling, and burdensome pre
paration. Alter this ridiculous ulicrtion, no
one could he deceived by a show of resistance
in South Carolina to the.constitutional author
ities of the federal government ;• and the dom
inant party in that state is constrained by a
regard for its remaining reputation, and tlie
'necessities of its situation, to abide quiescent
mid submissive under the execution of the
laws ofthe Union, until they can gain allies
by making sister States of the South, converts
lo-lheir doctrine. In their present condition,
policy prescribes to them a course of moder
ation towards the federal government; The
causes of their moderation towards the Union-
ists-of their own State are equally obvious —
By their intolerance, -and ejqiecially l»y their
new military organization, and their lest oath,
they had* rushed to the very verge of a civil
war, when the peace of the State was preser
-ved by a compromise between the hostile par-
lias. Pacification was produced, not by the
moderation offhe miilifiers,but by the steadfast
detertniuotMiiir»f the Unionists to resist gal-
ling, humiliating oppression ; for, although in
a minority, the latter were formidable in tuim
tiers; m spirit, and in tuteut. -
Distinctions in Society.-—By an net of
the Legislature of this .State,'passed on the
27th d.tV of Januury 1755, it was provided,
«. That the President, Professors; Tutors and
Students, and all officers and servants of the.
University whose office require their constant
attendance, shall be. and they are hereby
excused from military duty and from all other
such like duties and services.**
At the Session of 18t4, during the lafe
-War,-.Mr. Tankersley of Columbia, introdu
ced u Bill to irpcal .the above section, from
an -honest conviction, that young men whose
fathers were able to send them to ‘College,
were as much hound to stand a draft and
fight for their country, as the poorer class
who remained at home and worked for their
-living.
On the passage of the Bill, Col. Gamble
voted against it, and his vote stands recorded
nt page 24 of the Journal of the House for
1814.
Need we make any comment upon this
vote? Is there an honest industrious poor
man in Georgia, who cad tolerate the prinet
pie or who will support a man who has voted
the Union Troup Men may be tolerated in their
preference of Judge Schley to Judge Dougher
ty* when it is considered that they verily be
lieve that the stability of our free institutions
and the integrity of our union essentially de
pends on the defeat .of tho Nullification doc.
trines, of which Judge Dougherty is the unde
nted representative in Geprgia, and if they give
their "votes to hone for Congress who advocate
such doctrines or who have any political affini
ty with such Whigs as Calhoun, Webster and
to exempt the ritli from the public service—-
wimc me poor arc left to fight the battles of
tbrir country ?
In n republican government, thrre should
be no distinction in Society ; hut the rich and
the-poor should stand upon an equal footing
and the same duties should be required of all
Col. Gamble did not think so, and although
his vote was given a June time siu^e* it cos-.es
much better authenticated, than the vision of
Judge Schley’s federalism. It stands upon
the record, nud cannot be denied.
Was it a republican vote ? No.! it was
federalism and worse. -It was downright ar-
istoeracy.—Stand. Union. * • -

following Resolution was unanimously adopt

When this resolution was passed, Col.

Georgia, that the rnnin object of that conven

nomination for Vice President. He obtained
it—CoLGamble supported him, and t ow says,

that of Mr. Rowell, one of the most respec-

tics, but yet I never heard an insinuation
thrown out that Judge Schley was opposed to
the war after it was declared,or ever refused to
join in rejoicing for our army and naval vie
