what think you of one ol ouown citizens, and

and degradation, in publishing the address of
Mr. Clay, containing the sentiments above quo
ted, observes: ,- Mr. Clay’s independence blinks
no question—avoids no responsibility. There
are ‘no two ways about him.’ No mystery
veils his opinions—noptdicy tempts him from the
highway of public opinion, which he walks o
[ pcnly and independently, but with courtesy and
! good manners.”—Some time ago, the editor(but
| a short time before an Adams and Clay man) in
timated that his main reason fur turning Jackson
| man was an anticipation of a ciisis like the pre
sent in the affairs of the South, and a belief that |
I Gen. Jackson would “ coerce us ” into submis- !
sion. Ami now it would seem that ho is willing
to desert Gen. Jackson, and turn to Mr. Clay |
again, since the latter shews on equal willing- !
ness to “ coerce us.”
Can any rational man believe there is any o
liter bond to this Union, titan interest and affec
tion, or that any State which may refuse obe
dience loan unconstitutional, tyrannical, and op
pressive law, and to remain in the Union if it bo
attempted to be forced upon her, can be stayed
in by the sword, and the tottering Union be
propped up by the points of bayonets !
NILUIFICATIOV.
It is really astonishing to what strange absurd
ities and contradictions, a blind reliance upon
me'e prejudice, will sometimes lead respecta
ble and intelligent men. The Grand Jury of
Bu ke County, in their late Presentments, after
denouncing llte decision of the Supreme Court
as “ the most unhallowed shaft ever aimed at
State Rights,” says : ‘‘for refusing to carry in
to effect this decree, Georgia has been accused
of nullification, a theory utterly repugnant to llte
often expressed viewsofhor citizens.”—Now, it
is as utterly impossible for a man to approve the
course of Georgia, in relation to the Supreme
Couit, and not bo anuliifier, as far him to live,
and not be a human being; nnd it is therefore
evident, that the Jury in question do not under
stand what nullification is, and consequently are
not sensible that it has been plainly acted on in
relation to the Supreme Court. Nullification, in
the language of .Mr. Jefferson, is the right, on
llte ptot of each Slate, “ to judge for itself of
! infractions of the Constitution, and of the mode
|
and measure ot redress,” and “to nullify, of
its own authority; all assumptions of power by
oiltcrs, within its limits.” Now, in assuming to
make the decision in question, the Supreme
Court committed an ‘‘infraction of the Consti
tution;" and the Stale, procee ling lojuilgc of it
fur itself, and of “ the mode and measure of
red. ess,” passed tesolutions, at the last session
of llte Legislature, “nullifying litis assumption
of power within its limits.” When llte Gov
ernor laid the writs of the Supreme Court before
(lie Legislature, lie declared, in the true spit it
of nullification, that lie would resist all uncon
stitutional requisitions, from whatever source
they might come ; ami the Legislature, in direct
appt oval of this, passed resolutions authorizing
and requiring him to resist any and every uncon
stitutional t.i erferertce of the Supreme Court,
in the criminal jurisdiction of Georgia, by all
the force and means placed within his control.
Tins is nullification—the nullification acted on
by Virginia,against the Alien and Sedition laws—
ami the nullification meditated hy South Caro
lina against the tariff. The decision of the
Supreme Court is nullified within llte limits of
this State, and we defy the most complete hair
splitting casuists to shew the contrary. The
Supreme Court assumed to act according to tiie
Constitution, and tiie laws and treaties made
under it; and the State, “judging for itself of
the infraction,” passed resolutions of nullifica
tion, in advance; and it is now to Lo seen whe
ther the General Government will respect that
nullification, appeal to the States, or proceed
against it by force,, as the only other mode
left to it.—So, Congress assumed to act ac
cording to llte Constitution, in passing the
la; iff of 182 S; and Carolina, judging for itselfof
the infraction, will proceed to pass laws or
resolutions of nullification, in precisely the
same way as Georgia has done—dcclur.ng the
tariff law unconstitutional and void, and that
it shall not be enforced within its limits, and
authorizing and requiring the Governor, with all
the force and means placed at bis control, to
resist every effort, from any quarter whatsoever,
to enforce said Tariff law. And it will then be
for the General Government to determine, as in
the case of Georgia, whether she will rcs. ccl
tho Stale law of Nullification, appeal to the
Stat.is for their decision on tho question, or pro
ceed against llte State by force. The two cases
are as precisely similar in principle and action,
ns any two cases well can be; and while it
is really astonishing to see men approve tho
one, and denounce llte other, it is not a little
mollifying lo ou; State pride, to perceive in
how truly inconsistent and ridiculous a light
ft places us before tho eyes of others. All
wo ask of the people of Georgia, is, to act con
Bistently, and preach what tiiey practice—
and to examine and understand llte doc
trines of nullification, before they oppose them.
Let (limn but do this, and there will soon be no
difference between Georgia and Carolina; for
they will then discover, that they must either
recede fiom their oppo ition to the decision of
the Supreme Com l, or, in adhering to it, openly
acknowledge and advocate lite doctrines ol
Nullification.

FOR rUK AUGUSTA CHUONlfli',
It is strange what an inconsistent part some of
the Troup people (so called in Georgia) act.
We firmly believe, and shall continue to assort,
until contradicted by his aulhoiity, that Gov.
Troup is a mtllifier. This party take their
name from him, and profess the greatest attach
ment lo him and his principles, and yet, strange
to tell, they denounce nullification. In tiie same
soirit rest Judge Smith and Mr. Crawford.
They were, when the “Trio” was wiitten, in
principle, nullifiots. Now, because Mr. Calhoun
has published his principles—a man they person
ally dislike—they forsooth, must Hy ftotn their
own tenets and go over to llte enemy. So per
sonal, anil such ridiculous tncn-parlies, are ma
ny of llte Southern people, that they seem wil
ling almost to surrender the lust cent of proper
ty, in the way of taxation, rather than support
free principles, because men they dislike sup
port them. They will even go neck and heels
fur tho man, Martin Van Buren of tho North,
that designing “ Philip of Macedon,” a tariff
man, up to the hub, rather than give their snp
poit to free trade and equal taxa ion. Argu
ment and reason, seem lost on them, and they
suffer the machinations of cunning manufactur
ers to keep us divided at tho South.
God knows, the nullifiers have no men to serve;
nor do they belong to men. They go for no men,
nor are they hound by any men, in any shape, or
manner. They contend for principles—the
grtnj) and transcendanlly glorious principles of
free trade, equal taxation, and Slate rights; and
for these principles, their llag is nailed to llte
mast, never to be taken down. Let persecution
ariso. Let them bo called traitors, rebels, or
anv name of reproach ingenuity can invent.
Let them lose, or suffer as they may—yet their
country, their rights, and the constitution, will
receive their support and adoration. In all Go
vernments, the friends of liberty have been stig
matized and abused —in ali, despots,and tyrants
have found advocates. There are C artists, ot
Bourbons, in France, and Tories in England—
supporters of Kings and Emperors in Spain, in
Austria, in Russia, Prussia, and in various parts
of the world. There were even open Royalists
in America, during our Revolution. And is it
strange, then, that there should be indit idu tls at
llte South, in favour of Southern exclusive taxa
tions GEORGIA.
FOR THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE.
Mr. M’L.ane’s report on tho modification of
llte tariff, dissatisfies both parties. The little
State of Rhode Island is in a complete hub bub.
on tho subject, and her Legislature has instruct
ed iter representatives in Congress to vote
against it. They demand, in strong terms, that
tiie duties on wool and woollens, and other arti
cles, shall remain untouched. They find the
gain gathered from the Southern market, from
which English cloths have been partially cxckid-,
ed, entirely too pleasant to relinquish, and they I
are loth to give it up. They probably feel some
thing in tiie spirit of a certain clergyman, who
once begged large sums of money at llte South,
fora religious institution in tho District of Co
lumbia. The money was expended and new
funds requited. In a consultation held on llte
subject, it became a matter of perplexity how
they should be raised. Ob, exclaimed the Rev.
gentleman, wo must milk llte southern goats
again. And so it seems llhode-Island does not
wish to lot go tho Southern paps for a moment;
but must hang on, if possible, till the last drop
is drained, A NULLHTER.
» >II IHF. AUGUSTA CHRONICLE.
THE PENSION HILL.
Tiie House of Repieserttativcfl of Congress
have passed a Revolutionary Pension Bill, that
will draw fiom the Treasury near throe millions .
of dollars per annum.' Some of the wealthiest
men in the country come in, under this bill, for
a pension. Among whom is Gen. Wade Hamc
ton of South-Cat olina. Thus is again fueled
the old adage— “come light, f»o light.” 'Hie
eight cotton growing States, (and principally
Georgia and Soulh-Carolina) pay (lie taxes, and
the other sixteen vote away the mo«oy by j
wholesale, with the intention of defeating tiie
liquidation of the public debt, if possible, that an !
excuse may remain for keeping up high tanli
duties. ,
It is worthy of consideration too, that annu.
9 out of 10, of tho Revolutionary claimants, luu
North of the Potomac, and they thus divide oitrj (
money among their own people. ’lhore ,ve (
many wealthy men at tiie north whohave grown (
rich hy manufactories supported by tho Sou l:. 1
wlto are now probably to be further enriched b) ■
t|ie spoils, ns rcvoluliormry pensioners. •
It is now about four years since tiie taali c•’, J
1829 went into operation; and during that tune,
lite Cotton growing States have paid taxes on j
Cotton bagging alone, amounting to 1,112,0 i>. \
dulltirsl This enormous sum, however, is only, t
sufficient to nay cue thud w’ th* pending pension, <
I
Jt'ggWUHMlM.ALirilni | I, ~7~,
I bid Hacro at tiie South has any part of this
j vast sum boon expended?
| In one year more, nearly two millions of dol
j lira taxes, on Cotton Bagging alone, will have
been paid by eight States, while tho other IG
States ate entirely exempted. This immense
sum, is sufficient toconstmct 200 miles of Rail-
Road in any part of llte Southern conntiy, 1
admitting it i 0 cost 10,0(l« dollars a mile!!—!
And yet we find warm advocates in favour of
unmurmuring submission to this unequal taxation, i
even at tint South. If there was no other unjust •
tax than that on cotton bagging, it aiono would !
boa sufficient cause lo justify resistance on tiie
part,of tin; South. But there are numerous oilier
enormous taxes which wo have not room now
to specify, ami indeed, if we were to bring them
fairly before the render, their very enormity,
would probably lead him to discredit the state
ment. And thus tiie very excess of the evil
proves a means of defence to it. What consti
tutes slavery, but unequal taxation i? It lias
caused more revolutions, and rebellions, than all
other causes in the world, put together. Never
were a people free, and never will they ho free,
so long as one cent of tribute, money Is exacted
from them. The present great contest is against
. thn tribute exacted fiorn tho South, and the ques
tion is, what remedy shall ho adopted to shake
it nil 1 Nullification is a peaceable remedy* and
only contemplates the non-enforcement within
tiie bounds of a State, of an unconstitutional
law. And all laws imposing unequal taxation
aio unconstitutional. Tho Nullifiers are the trim
friends of llte Constitution, of peace, and of the
Union; and though litis lias been plainly shown
again and again, the foemen of fiec principles
still war against free trade, equal taxation!
and nullification—some from one motive and
some from another—some because it is fashion
able lo do so—some from motives rffgain—sonic
because limy dislike some of lire Nullifiers per
sonally—and some, and we sincerely hope hut
very few, from sheer lory feeling. These last
wislr to see a strong consolidated Government,
with power sufficient lo keep the States in tiro
, condition of merely dependant colonics; and
hundreds denounce Nullification without having
read anything about the doctrine—from preju
dice, nnd ignorance of the great principles upon
which our Government was founded.
Amidst all these conflicting circumstances it
Is not likely that nullification will be impar
tially weighed and considered. It lias nothing
to rla with men, nor with Presidential or Vice
Presidential schemes of aggrandizement. It
stands proudly aloof as the great rock of a
freeman's salvation. It is the torch-light on the
, altar of freedom, lit hy the illustrious Jefferson,
and will continue to bum ns long as one freeman
is left to worship at its base. And God grant
that it may burn brighter and brighter, “unto
tho perfect day.” Freedom of Speech, Freedom
«j' the I‘rcss, and Freedom of Trade, are tiie pil
lars of a ftce Government; and while these shall
stand, the Republic will stand ; and when they
fail, (lie Republic will fall I B.
