CALIIOUN AND NULLIFCAT10N.
In today’s Telegraph is concluded Mr. Cal
houn s exposition ol Nullification. The whole es
say is written with a calmness, tact and ingenuity
characteristic of a master mind, and precluding the
supposition of unintentional error of mental hal
lucination. It figuratively presents a naked giant
striving to cover himself with the scanty dimen
sions ol au embroidered napkin. We are not sur
prised that so mucli incredulity has existed in our
state as to his iiaving embraced an hypothesis so
preposterous. It rests on the assumption, that the
General Government, unlike that of England and
other constitutional polities, is not one of cheeks;
and therefore it was necessary that the States re
spectfully should have the power tb arrest usurpa
tion by consolidated interest. The very ground
work of the argument is fallacious. In the Lower
Brauch of the Federal Legislature, the people of
the nation are directly represented, while in the
Upper House, the State Legislatures have respect
ively their wo delegates. The people exercise.the
right ol instructing their Representatives, and the
States, theirScnators. Here, then, are the people
checking the State Legislatures, and tho State
Legislatures checking the people, without the pos
sibility of any law being passed but by a majority
of the States and people, unless their agents be
tray their trusts, which dereliction may be remedi
ed by the ballot box or right of instruction. Be
sides, these two distinct bodies mutually checking
eaclt ether and deriving their powers from differ
ent sources, the President, elected in some States
by the agents of the people, in others by those of
the Legislature, exercises his veto io checking both
Senators and Representatives, while the Supreme
Court (of which (be members; though appointed
by the President and Senate, are independent of
their creators) lias a supeivisory power over all
laws passed, qnd the prerogative of declaring them
void. If Governments of checks and balances,
calculated for practical utility, are to ha found on
the earth, the most marked and eflectual is that of
the United States—while the people remain intel
ligent aod virtuous, the government cannot long
be wrong; aad should they become depraved and
ignora nt, were their system devised by Omuiscience,
it would not continuo to bo right.
But had, according to Mr. Calhoun’s dogma,
nullification by a State been contemplated by the
framers of pur Constitution, they would have plac
ed that power within the re tch of those for whom it
was intended so as o give it practical effect before
(he evil which it was to avert could operate upon
them. ' Tliis could not be dono by means of a
Conveminu, which is generally diflioult to convene
and tardy in its deliberations, nor even by the State
Legislature which requires (uno to assemble aad
i* often sluggish in debate. During such delay, the
obnoxious law would be in full force, consumma
ting mischief. But procrastination would have been
obviated by investing the respective delegatiohs
ofthn States in either branch of Congress withthe
nullifying process; and if such a power had ever
been contemplated, it would have been so invest
ed; for the delegation in the House of Represen
tatives is equivalent lo a State Convention, and in
the Senate tantamount to a.State.Logislature.
But it is idle to think of nullification as a con
stitutional remedy. No'mtelligcnt man can look up
on it in that light; arid the poarare of Mr. Calhoun’s
affairs must indeed be desperate when he seeks
refuge i n a position so untenable—but let him go.
We long admired the splendor of his talent* and
liis apparent devotion to the country. He has oc
cupied in politics a standing similar to Arnold s iu
tho field doting the early part of the Revolution;
but having, like that chieftain, betrayed his trust,
we hold him as an enemy whom both duty and in
clination prompt us to oppose.
The oration delivered by Colonel Drayton on
the 4th ult. as it were by anticipation covers the
whole ground occupied by Mr. Calhoun’s exposi
tion, and ably and happily explodes all its errors.
We shall give extracts so soon as our limits allof.
The Columbus Enquirer wishes to know how.
the Macon Telegraph can consistently support
Mr. Lumpkin, after his having ‘voted for the repeal
of the twenty-fifth section of the Judiciary Act,
which gives to the Supreme Court nearly all its
jurisdiction. The question is not fairlv pul. Mr
Lumpkin did not vote for tho repeal of that setliori.
He voted for the third readiug of the bill to repeal
it out of courtesy to its advocates, whom he
thought, and very justly too, were entitled to tint
right of debate, which the majority of its opponents
were determined to stifle. We have authority
which we deem good, for saying that had that bill
gone toa third reading, he would have voted a-
gainst its passage. So that in relation to that
subject, he occupies exactly the same ground
with Ju dge Clay, than whom Alabama does dot
coritain a more unwavering friend of the Union.
The same paper is desirous to be told “why tho
Clark party voted for the very estcnco of nullifica
tion, “iheexcdution ofTassclsl’* Thestatuteun-
der which Tassels was condemned and executed
had long been in operation in Georgia, without
its constitutionality having once been questioned.
It conflicted with no law of Congress. Hence its
operation nullified no law of the Federal Govern-
ment; and the condemnation and execution of that
Indian murderer was therefore strictly within the
cognizance of our criminal juruUietion, as the
decision of tho Supreme Court subsequently
confirmed. It follows that the Clatk party in that
affair voted neither for the essence nor body, the
shadow nor semblance of nullification.

the leaders mentioned recognize, as all men must,
rite natural tight of revolution. So far as this
principle is concerned, tho Enquirer no doubt in-
fended to argue tlut, us each of the leaders would
io cases which they considered tntolmable, tsm-
ally recommend recourse to armed resisianae.ibcir
principle, in practice are vtrtuaTiy the same.
Except by suclt sophism, we cannel “ nc * l * e tb ®
advantage, which the Enquirer hopes to obtain by
Its interrogatory; for Drayton and Legato dtffer
from the other three too substantially for the sim-
pleit capacity to misapprehend. In the first place.
Drayton, Legate and ftl'Duflio all confess nulli

MR. LUMPKIN—NULLIFICATION.
Some of tho desperate opponents of Mr.
Lostr KlN, for want of better or mors bdnorabU
grounds of position insinuate that he is a nullificr
and threaten to produco Idlers of his, to prove
it. This they can never do, however they
may find it convenient to threaten ft. Mr.
Lumpkin is no rtullifier, as we know from his
or to the press, or to Congress, -or the'peop.’oiiy ] i r co sentiments, now and heretofore, expressod,
changing their representatives,'’ while tho princt- 110 oursc | ve s and others. But be it as it may, I cel ‘ ll fr occupied by Ste^r.-. p

contends that the period has arrived when this
renlutiomry expedient should be exercised, while
the others assert that the grievance does not jus
tify its operation. -Here, then, the principles of
Lcgare and Draytbn, as “practically exercised"
in relation to tho tariff of 1828, inculcate obedi-.
dience, except, in the language of Drayton, by re
monstrances, by protests, by appeals to each other,
iu iifstauvca *•»
lieve Congress may have departed
or spirit of the Constitution, give any State the
contlUulioml right* to hoid the obnoxious law in
operative as to itself until it be confirmed by tiirco
fourths of sll the Slates, thus awarding to one the
constitutional right of controlling seventeen, while
Drayton and Legaro deny that a State -or any
number of States less than a majority, can consti
tutionally arrest such a law, and thbn the abroga
tion must take place in Congress, unless by a-
mendraent of the Constitution or a decision of
the Federal Judiciary. The difference of princi
ples, ifpracticaliy exercised on these points, is
sufficiently manifest to onr readers to need illus
tration; and, if the Enqufrer will only take the.
trouble to read the Oration delivered by Colonel
Drayton on the 4th ult. (extracts from which we
intend to publish,) we presume that silly questions
relative to this subject will not be again obtruded
onjis.
_ Further:—The Enquirer requests ns to recon
cile our'support of Mr. Calhoun, „witb our unap
peasable hatred of that vile and wicked nullifica
tion, which is subverting, with unhallowed hands
the fair fabric which patriots have erected 1"
Tho limping irony in which the question' is
bedizened shall not lead us to treat it With the si
lent contempt it deserves. We have ^supported
Mr. Calhoun in no instance as a nullificr, nor has
he received any support from us since strong sus
picions gained ground that he was given to that
heresy. Before the publication of his correspond
ence, concerning his rupture with President Jack-
son, in the Telegraph of tho 26th of Febraary
last, we spoko of him in strong terms of disap
probation, for not disavowing nullification, if he
were innocent, and foretold that he (if guilty)
would not receive countenance or support from the
Clark party, but whether innocent or not, he would
in no event be, supported in opposition to General
Jackson. Since that time, he has received no aid or
soppoiofrom us. Before that period we sustained
him as an advocate of the President and an able
and zealous friend of his country; but finding our
selves deceived, we hare renounced him forever.
We have therefore noinconsistency to reconcile on
tliis topic. . ■;
The Enquirer next requests to be informed “by
what mode of reasoning the Clark party conclu
ded it was legal and proper to survey, and appor
tion immediately by lottery the (Cherokee land,
without a treaty for their session?" Tlte reply is
not complex or remote—by the very mode, on the
vent principles, and the compact, of 1602,' by, on
and in virtue of which the State of Georgia has ex
tended tier laws over those Indians—authorities
repeatedly recognized by the Troup party.
iiaving now answered the several questions pot
by tho Enquirer we beg permission to become in
turn catechist. Will the editors of the Enquirer,
as moralists or Christians, explain their support of
Governor Gilmer after his having recommended
tho continuance of that University of crime and
depravity, the Penitentiary, against the known
wishes of a large majority of the people, especially
of the most enlightened and moral? Will they, as
friends to the tranquility of the state and opponents
to perjury, reconcile their support of him with, his
attempts to break down the barriers of color by
putting the Indians on ai\equality with whites in
our courts of law, aod his encouragement of per
jury by endeavoring to bind.the decisions of our ju.
ries by tho testimony of savages ignorant of tlte
obifgation of an oath? Can they reconcile their
professions forthe purity of elections and the re
sponsibility of the Executive to, and his depend
ence on. the people, with the aid they render the
present incumbent, who has advised and urged the
reservation of the gold mines, by which from fifteen
to twenty thousand votes would bo placed directly
under executive influence? The Enquirer having
undisguisedly declared that, it would regret to see
any man invested with the authority nf Governor
of Georgia, who would refuse to lend his aid to the
nuHifiers of South Carolina, how can it now sup
port General Jackson, who has denounced them,
or withhold its services from John C. Calhoun,
since it is authenticated that he is the master spir
it that directs them? Lastly, having repeatedly re
commended the secession of Georgia From (ho
Union, will the Enquirer favor the public with an
exposition of the principles on which it supports
William II. Crawford, who 'anathematizes separa
tion and-prooounces nullification a crime worth f of
the gallows? We hope no squeamishness will im
pose silence,
“Foreign Renegade" is a terra becoming quite
fashionable, not with the respectable portion of the
Troup party, who would resent the abdication’ of
the term to any citizen, but with many of tlte nn-
derahappers and scavengers. A native of France,
Spain or Germany, England, Ireland or Scotland,
may come to America, to Georgia, before he com
pletes his twelfth year and remain in the country
till his hair grows grey, aye and bear arms too in
its defence, not only at' the risk of the bullet hat
the rope, still if lie dares to think for himself and
will not allow theso petty gentlemen, (who like
mushroons derive their existence from muck) ei
ther to prescribe Iris faith Or bully him into silence,
—in short, if he be proof against sophistry ami
threats, and chooses to exercise reason and the
rights guaranteed him by law,—he is a foreign ren
egade! is put into Coventry and held bp as un ob
ject of abhorrence nnd infamy. Bui why should
the term foreign renegade couvey reproach inAnD
erica ? Every naturalized citizen,'true to his oath,
is n foreign renegade. * Gates, Sinclair, Montgom
ery, Greece, Jackson, Tattnall, Telfair, M'DiAt-
atd and Rutherferd, of the Revolution, were/or-
ttgn renegades, and so was a large portion of the
continental line. Were they a reproach to the
couotry, or less zealous in its cause than the na
tives of the country? How titen, it is asked, can
the term foreign renegade be one of odium ? The
foreigner who is not a renegade, who has not re
nounced his allegiance to his native country, can
not bo considered the friend of this. The term fo
reign renegade means therefor;, in this country,
an emigrant who has sworn to defend the United
States against every enemy, and it is the highest
compliment that can be paid to a foreigner. It is
only persons who, like (Wo of the publishers of the
Columbus Enquirer,have proposed and inculcated
the secession of Georgia from the Union, can find
any thing olicclionabte io a man’s being a foreign
renegade. The) know that he is a sworn enemy
to their project; and, if not a coward, will peril his
life to defeat it. *£.—, .* '.’a

Remarkable state of the Atmosphere.—Since
Thursday last, our atmosphere lias exhibited ap
pearances which are worthy of record. On Thurs
day morning last, the first change was indicated by
the color of the Sun. He rose of a white color,
and continued thioughout the day to shed a pale
and feeble light. On Friday, the same appearances
was repeated, with'dm addition of a anight bluish
tinge, where the rays fell on walls and other white
object*. In the evening of that day,after he had
set, the- light centinued to increase until half past
seven, accompanied by a beautiful exhibition of
the red rays which skirted the horizon from west
to north, were faintly visible in the north cast, and
were not entirely dissipated until after eight
o’clock, although tho sun set at thirty nine minutes
past-six. „ ...
On Saturday, the same appearances were re
peated, blit perhaps were not so remarkable as
those of the preceding day. On Snnday, the light
of the San had so far diminished, thut at noon K
presented an appearaoco precisely similar to that
of the late Solar eclipse; when the sun was cover
ed eleven and a half, digits, except (hat it tinged
every object on which its rays fell, with a very sen
sible blue color. At a few minutes before six
y. ts. the haze was so dense [11 that in looking at
the son, it formed a protection tor the eyes so per
fect, that ft might be contemplated with less effect
on that organ than would happen in examining the
moon. At the tame time the body of (he sun ap-
K eared of a pale green color, approaching a blue,
is edge was perfectly well defined, anti its rays
cast no sensible shadow. He had not last evening
recovered his nsnal splendor.
On the 14th, at noon, the thermometer stood at
81 degrees of Farcinheit in the siiade, and it rose
only seven degrees, after exposing it lo the sun
durin- tbo Space of twenty miuutes.
A lens whiclfon ordinary occasions wcu'd ignite
asegarin a few seconds, would not burn black
substauces.
The concentrated taya formed by the lens were
thrown on the bulb of tho thermometer, when
it rose to 98 degrees. Had the lens been coated
with lamp black it would have risen higher, as the
polished surface of the bulb reflected the heat, and
prevented its full action ou (he mercury. It
is worthy of remark that (lie Moon showed no ap
pearances but such as ato common in hazy weath
er.
It is Welt known that an easterly wind is al
ways attended with a haze which'changes the .col
or ordiMant objects, rendering them more or less
indistioct according to its density. Distant bod
ies from the same cause ’loom,’ as seamen express
ili'that is, the atmospheric refraction is encreased,
wjrich tends to show objects taller and higher
than they really are.
These two well known properties of the atmoS'
phere, will account forthe prolongation of twilight,
the late presence of the red ray, the diminution of
light and heat, and the softness of the light: but
wc do not see their applicability to the green ap
pearance oT the sun, when his edge was well de
fined, norm the increase of light after suosrf
The latter circumstance wo regard as among the
most extraordinary optical appearauces that have
erer fallen under onr observation.

Solar Spots.—Spots on tho Suit’s Disc, have
this year appeared frequently. I have witnessed
them for several months past, and some of them
seemed exceedingly large. Yesterday, at 10 A.
M. I observed (with my Telescope) one iargei
than any before seen, to the Southward and East
ward of his centre, with sixteen of much lesser
magnitude—three above, and thirteen below it, tlte
latter forming .the segment of a circle, and the
ends with four, forming a square to the Northward
and Eastward of his centre; and iu consequence of.
the extraordinary number of these spots with their
penumbra on the Sun’s disc,,it renders itis rays
Ibebte and obJcutc, not unlike that occasioned by
a partial eclipse.—Notwithstanding however, the
number which has beervsecn this year, the season
has been, and Is likely to continue, so, unusually
tine, and’never perhaps, did the smiles of Heav
en seem mote gracious, or the beauiieaof nature
bloom more lavishly thau at the present moment.

PHENOMENON.
Half our population were on Saturday, after
sunset, admiring and wondering at tho strange and
beautiful appearance of tho western horizon.
Fora long time after the son had disappeared, the
western heavens seemed ns one vast sea of crim
son (lame, lit up by some invisible agent. Thou
sands of our citizens gazed gt ilie spectacle—some
with wonder, others with admiration, and others'
fearful that it was a aad augury of coming evil.
Superstition is never idle an such an occasion.
Many conceited that the moon was "green aad
ghastly," and others marvelled that not a solitary
star should .glisten in tho heavens. The most
|>r(ibablejso!uiion of (Ilia phenomenon way be found
in the rarity and warmth of the atmosphere.
