STATE RIGHT BALL.
Tne grand drama is over—the State Right
Call in ' Charleston, a pageant which every
irn.i uf aou:;.l political morality-mug! contem
plate with imnu of disgust limit approbation.
At thi* *' entertainment something liko di

by u few minions of power At is, tho las-!
ions of patriotism that worn exemplified by
«ta fathers of 1'ui snbr day* in Charleston, havo
boen forgotten by some of tltoir descondnuts.
They aio scckm* after strange gods, that
their fathers know not. The shepherd lias

Tins spirit of tho political revolution of 1800,
once shed its Jight over the people of tli*t,ciiy,
80 famed in the leviilii iouary story for its pat
riotism. But a new generation notv occupies
tile theatre of uciion. Are the people of
Ch alesion doomed tolse led lilto die servilo
minions of a despot by u few designing and
reckte-s politicians! Little more than half a
dozen winter snows havo whitened, the mtum
tains, since Governor Hamilton, with Mr.
Hiyttb and ifco Prtteeu Editor of the Mercu
ry enlisted the citizens of Charleston in an un
holy political crusade against Judge Smith,
avowedly ou the ground of his Stute Right doc
trines. .
They Were then die loud and clamorous ad
vocates of (lie splendid system of linern d Iini
provenient, Hie favorilo political bantling of
Mir. Calliouii; lint was nursed into i rtion with
So much paimr. il care by Mr. M Doffi - inihe
House of Ropioseinaiivus, and Mr. Hay lie in
the Senate. They wero enthusiastic suppur
tors of this scheme of robbery of tho South;
this most odious branch of the American sys
tem.
Judge Smith unmasked these political he
retics.. He brought public opinion to bear on
them through the Legislature of the stale with
no much power, that they were driven from
their unholy doctrines—a sudden light shoue
On their benighted understandings.
Behold- a miracle! Governor Hamilton, a
gentleman of the most profound erudition,
who hid been engaged in political lifo, and
aihgted with tho first polinciuns of diis nation
for tho greater portion of the days of his man-
IiojiI; who had served in the great councils ot
the nation, during the period when the two
branches of the American System (the Tariff
and internal Improvement} underwent th<
most thorough discussion till Constitutional
grounds by tho first meu of this nation; when
the great republican leaders of.tlto Jeffersoni
an school brought all tlm powers of their migh
ty minds into action against the system: Gov
enter Hamilton, whilst all this light wus'shm
around him, remained in utter darknoss. Aim
never did the light of truth burst oil his benigh
t'd mind; till the people of this state proclaim
ed more tiian once from their legislative hull,
in a voice loud and commanding, the semenc*
of,condemnation, against the unholy doctrine.-
that lie had been sustaining with so much zeal.
This produced the miraculous conversin'-
of Governor Hamilton and his coadjutors,
Messrs, H tyne -and Pinckney of the Mercu-
ry.
Governor Hamilton drew largely on the cre
dulity of the good people of Charleston, wltoi-
ho proclaimed that ho lud labored unt'er
natural delusion,” and that the light of iruih
for the first timo hurst on his understanding.—
Pooplo of Charleston, this “trio” once led
through mires and quicksands, to.tlio political
sacrifice of the man who was engaged in the
glorious strife of bringing this stato back to (In
good old doctriuus of the republican iarnily ol
1800.
Li a succession of numbers written by Mr.
Pinckney, under i ho signature of “A Rppun-
licau," and published in the City Gazette, in
1825, this Protean politician assailed Judge
Smith for his opposition to the splendid schemes
of Internal Improvement by the General Gov
ernment.
In hisspeoch before the Clariosophic. Socie
ty, in the same year, this same Proteus of the
Mercury delivered the most splendid encomi
ums ou lito system of Iiiieruul Improvement
mid of Domestic Munufnciutes.
Tito conversion of these men to tho true
political faith, proves that the mind of Judge
Smith was clear and luminous, whilst theirs
wero clouded and benighted. It proves that
Judge Smith was jight—whilst they were all
wrong. They h ive, however, never forgiven
him 'or removing the scules from ihnir eyes.—
To y h .to him will) die more mietucness, be

On whose understanding ought you now to
rely! On iheso now converts to .he failh,(if
thoy in truth aro really converted) or on he
judgment of the Political Patriarch, whoso
understanding was uevor misled by false lights:
The man whom the Richmond Enquirer (die
oracle of die republican Family ol Virginia) de
clares "never has heeu wrong on a great Con
stitutional question. ”
" Are you again to be led away by the extrav
agant and wild doctrines of dio “irio” tlmi lod
you astray in former days! Are you to bloto
hoi and cold at tho bidding of Messrs. Hamil
ton, Hiyucand Pinckney! Are they the ora
cles that uroto mislead you feiever! Are your
Senses to be captivated by a splendid pageant!
%i Thc State Right Dull." To whom given,
and who moved die secret wires of this dra
matic exhibition! The answer is plain. Moil,
who but the other day proscribed die doctriuo
of Stale Rights, and denounced with political
vengeance, the man who endeavored to impress
it on this state as tho true political faith of the
south.
The -violence of theso ever changing politi
cians have done inconceivable harm to the

Chester, 19/A March, 1331
The Washington Globe, the organ of what. boon brought forward in Piiiliameiit on the 1st
is called tho “Jackson Van Buren party,” has I March, by Lou! John Russell, with the unun-
'.ow taken n decided stand against the propos- imous approbation ol jbe Government. Al-
terous doctrines of Nullification. We. copy
tho annexed paragraphs from that print, iu.ex
emplification:-—
“We liavo seen enough of privnto letters and
public papers to satisfy us, that Mr. Calhoun’s
ill-advised attempt to bring bis private quar
rels imo tho political discussions of the country,
has utterly destroyed all chances for his polit
ical advancement, which his "nullification" ha
left.
“Tho nullification party unite in tho scheme
of the Coalitiou, and strivo io persuade the peo-
plo that they do not assail the President, bu
those to whose arts they pretend he is a victim.
They would havo us to believe that he is un
der control, becauso they found on a memorabh
occasion, that no artifice could deceive him,
nor any influence swervo him from the great
cause of tho country, and induce him to give
his countenance to the interested schemes of
partisans, however they might profess devu-
tiou to himself. The public havo. not forgot
ten the celerbrated Nullifying Dinner got up
under* iho protenee of commemorating the
principles of the patriot Jcflerson, and 10 which
tho patriot Jackson was invited to lend the
sanction of his presence. Toasts and speech
es wero prepared to recommend tho new .doc-
irines to which the Vico President had com
mitted himself in tho South, and they were so
artfully disguised in the garb of Stato Rights,
that it was supposed, amidst the oiithusiasiu and
applause of surrounding friends, the President
from sympathy,.would catch (ho contagion, uud
unite in procl iniing the principles of Nullifica
tion, or in other woids, the-right of ono State
to dissolve tho Union. A copy of tho toasts
were placed at tho plote of tbo President,'that
lie might be prepared to join in the spirit of the
proceeding; but □<> sootier had ho run his eye
over tho paper than he endorsed oil the back
of it his own commentary, and put his veto up
on it. This was like the night attack on the (
enemy, on tho twenty-third of December.-—
He rebuked, at once, tho politicians who sought
to entrap him, through thu consenting feelings
natural to such nil occasion, by his premptory
oust—-“ The Federal Union mutt bepreserv-
d." From that moment Mr. Calhoun felt
hat his principles wore out offavor; and lie
esolved to tnko the ground that the President
was the “victim of political intriguers," when
'■e found him superior to all intriguers. He
liiund that no (littery nor management on tho
iart of hi itself and his friends, could bund the
loblc-minded and single-hearted patriot, to givo
he weight of his character and station to the
losigh of artful and ambitious partizans, and ho
i ts sought, through every avenue, to destroy
iiat influence which he could not propitiato to
'is purpose. Tho good sense of the people
nil foil him in this, ns tho good senso of the
President foiled his first attempt.”

LATE FROM ENGLAND.
Charleston, March 26.
By the British barque Mary Catherine, arri
ved at this port last evening from Liverpool,
whence she sailed on tho 14th February, we
<i ivo received London papers of the evening of
lie 12th, and Liverpool papers of the morning
d' the 14lh ult.
Maticis appear to bo quite unsettled on the
'eminent. The Duke do Nemours, second
ion of Philip King of lito French, had been
■Iecicd King of Belgium, but the French Gov-
■itmiem have rejected the offer, thus throwing
nek on- thu Belgian Congress the question
winch they supposed was settled. Tho place
was not filled at our latest dates
The British Parliament assembled oh the 3d
ii February.
Tho Chancellor of tho Exchequer has pro
posed to Parliament to lay a duty of ono pen-
ly pet pound onuli raw Cottons imported, with
i drawback duty to tho same amount on all
manufactured Colton exported. , In-conso-
qdciica of this proposition, it will be seen by
- eference to let tors under the commercial head
of this morniug’s Courier, that the raw article
had advanced 3-6d. in the Liverpool market,
As letter writers have given different con
structions of the intention of the British Gov-
vommeut on this subject, we copy below the
I uiguage used on the occasion in tile Houso of
Commons, by tho Chancellor of the Excheq-
ui'i, as reported in thu London Courier.—
Whether a pcuuy per pound is intended to be
dm whole duty, or so much in addition to the
six per cent, now le-'ied, we leave to our rea
ders to determine.
In Committee oflhe Whole oftho Huusj of
Commons, Feb. 11, the Chancellor of the Ex
chequer said:
“The next tax he was about to propose was
one to winch ho anticipated objections, which
objections would Imwover, be counterbalanced
oy the advantages. Ii would be objected, lie
expected, that a went to impose a new tax on
jrnn of ourstuple manufactures, and would, be
sides, be attended, by the inconveniences con
sequent upon a drawback duty. He admitted,
lie repeated, that these were objections; but
besides his unwillingness to ta'mpor with a sta
ple commodity by imposing a new lax upon it.
the sum would be small, and only intended to
meoithe loss which tho reduction of the duly
uu the same article in another form would oc
casion. The committee was aware, that by re
ducing tho lux on printed Cottons, those con
sumed by the poorer classes, there would be a
loss to the annual revenue uf £500,000; and
they were also uwaru that the ground of that
reduction was, that the tax fell more particu-
lurly ou the less wealthy classes. (Hear, hear.)
Now he proposed to throw the tax over nil tho
consumers of cotton, instead of one part, us tho
duty®nt present pressed—(Hoar)—and thus
save the revenue, und relievo iho poor consu
mer of (lie article. (Hear.) This would be
accomplished by a duly of Id. per pound on
all raw couons imported, with a drawback duty
to tha same amount on all manufactured cotfun
exported. Ho had admitted (He objections to
this drawback duly, and to the tax no the raw
material of industry, but put to tlm Comroittoe
whether the advantages, on the other hand, did
not more than counterbalance ' (he objections.
(Hear.) H" would take tbo revenue to bo thus
derived si £500,000, judging by the average
impoit of cotton for the last-few voars. The
; mport the last year of all was 179,200,000 lbs.;
hut he would lake the average of tho preceding
years—namely, 119,500,000 lbs. which at Id.
per lb. would produce £497,000—that is to
say £500,006 in round numbers."

integrity of tho teritory.” (Long and loud
acclamations proceeded from the galleries and
all parts of the ball, und wero repeated by the
ciowd outside.)
T.he cvem was announced to iho citizens by
proclamations from the Provisional Govern
ment, and from the Burgomaster, and by sa
lutes of artillery.
The London Courier of tho 12th February,
publishes, in a second edition, an important
communication from its Brussels correspondent,
dated Wednesday night, which states, that n
protocol from tho Congress of London, dated
the 7ih uh. had been communicated to the Pro
visional Government that evening; and that it
not only declared, that the Fruucli Govern
ment is resolved to reject the offer oflhe crown
of Belgium fur the Duko of JMomuur*, but that
it adheres to tho protocol of the 2(Mi January,
and consequently disavows the letter of Count
Sebustiuni. It further states, that, in the event
uf the Duko of Leuclileuberg being again pro-
C osed and elected, lie will not bo recognized
y any of the flvo powors. Thu samo corres
pondent, in a letter dated Thuisday dVening,
states, that M. Bresson, tbo French Minister,
had declined to sign a note sent to tho Provis
ional Government with tho ubovo protocol, and
that tho diplomatic commission had refused to
lay the document before Congress, having re
turned it to Lord Ponsonhyl
There appears to itave been no regular figh
ting between the Russians and Pules. A few
trifling skirmishes had taken place, which were
altogether offensive on tho part of the Poles,
they havo mado incursions into tho Russian
territory.
It is said in tho English papers, that if thu
duty on newspaper stamps und advertisements
should be reduced, as proposed by the Chan
cellor of tho Exchequer, newspajiers will bo
sold at sixpence instead of sevenpence, and short
advertisements will be inserted for four shil
lings instead of, as now', six shillings and six
pence.
It is stated'i&‘ it London paper of the 12th
February that policies havo been taken -at
