EXTRACTS
FROMCOL. DRAYTON’S ORATION,
Delivered befoie the Union and State Rights Party,
AT charleston, JULY 4, 1831.
Tlio interposition of its veto by tho State,
“tho Exposition’’ confidently announces,
“would ensure tho supremacy” of the Constitu
tion over tho laws, and preserve the due im
portunce of the States, without creating dis-
curd or weakening the beneficent energy of the
Government.'* To test the soundness of this
position, lot us suppose it to he acted upon.
Flie Legislature, either by its own authority,
or by that of a convention of the people, pass
es a law declaring the Tariff Acts to be ui.-
constitutional, null and void, not binding upon
our citizens, and ioflicting pains and penalties
upou ail persons carrying them into execution
The law to hear upon its face the semblanca
oi a remedy, must ho as strong as this. The
bunds for unpaid duties are sued for in the
Federal District Court, and according to its
practice, unless tho defendant will swear that
an error hus been committed in tho calculation
ot the duties, judgment is entered up against
him upon the motion of the District Attorney.
Execution issues;' the Marshal proceeds to en
force it, and is opposed under tho law of the
State. He calls fur the assistance which tho
Act of Congress requires him to da; that as
sistance is overpowered, or is refused to be
rendered; the facts aro reported to the Presi
dent of the United Slates, who by his official
oath is “to take care that the laws be faithful
ly executed.’’ Tho President sustains the
Marshal by force; this force is resisted, and
insurrection or civil war is the consequence.
But supposing that the merchant objecting to
the payment of his bond, upou tbo plea of tho
unconstitutionality of the Tariff Laws, is able
(as I prosume lie would be) to bring his de
fence beforo a jury in the Federal Court.
Tho judge, it is notorious, would pronounce
the luw to be constitutional. Many of tho
citizens of Charleston entertain this opinion,
end many of them believe the law to be con
stitutional, though they condemn its policy:
In some instances, therefore, tho verdict of the
jury would ho for the United States. Tho re
sults, then would be as above stated. Suppose
a different mode resorted to. A merchant re
fuses to give his hood for tho duties upoD tlio
articles which he has imported. Tho Collec
tor is bound to retain them, until the duties aro
discharged. To meet this emergency, tho
merchant brings an action against the Collec
tor. The question is submited to a State
Court, io wiiich a verdict and judgment nre
obtained by the plaintiff. The Collector, un
der the 25th section of tbe Judiciary Act of
1789, appeals from thi3 judgment to the Su<
prenio Court of the Uuited States, where the
judgment of tho State Court is set aside. If
tlio Stato Court declines to carry the mandate
of tho Supreme Court into execution, (but
Court would itself award execution. That
execution would he resisted, and the same con
sequences would follow us have teen mention
ed. It is evident, then, that the interposition
of the veto of the State, could not bo a peace-
next door to Mr. I. B. Rowland’s store and ware-
liouse. KNOX & DANIEL,

fill remedy, unless tho President should tail to
perform his duty. When'the bond given for
duties amounts to less iltan $400, should a ju
ry in the Federal Court find u verdict for the
defendant, the United States could not appeal;
but as bonds are rarely taken for so small n
sum as $400, a verdict in such cases would
he unimportant, unless it should occasion an
alteration in tho collection-law, abolishing the
credit which is now allowed, and requiring that
the duties should be paid in cash,
To onforce.tho laws, the President has at
his command tho army and Navy of the U.
States, and tho Militia of tho States. To
avoid bringing our citizens directly into colli
sion with the General Government, *tis prob
able, that he would ardor the tlatiohal vessels
to blockade our ports and inlets., which would
put a stop to our exportations and importa
tions. Thus subjected to tho privations, and
loss, and ruin, consequent upon tlio total stag
nation of commerce, with tho spirit of party
which has spread so fiercely and bitterly over
over our State, is any ono so sanguine or so
dull, as not to foresee the lamontablo condition
in which we should be involved! Could we,
escape that direst of all calamities, on intestine
war! In such a struggle victors aro victorious
without houor—tho Vanquished defeated with
out sympathy. Amidst intestine feud* ell the
kindly feelings of the human heart wonld he
eradicated, and far them would ho substituted
those burning nnd savage passions, which em
broil the domestic fire-side—which pour run-
cours into tlio bosoms of friends—which con
vert the excitements of honorable rivalry into
deadly personal hatred. Then as in tho fac
tions of Ancient Greece and of the modern re
publics of Italy, in tho contentions betwcon
York nnd Lancaster, in England and between
the Patriot ail'd Orange parties in Hulland,
might wo witness the spectacle of brother arm
ed against brother, of patent agaiust child
and of the child .against his parent.
A formal secession fiom the Union might
exempt us from these calamities.—Granting
that this was effected, (nnd what can hardly be
calculated upon amidst the fury of parties now
raging among us) peacably cffocted. Hive wc
the means of retaining our independence!
Docs.history furnish tho solitary example of
any nation having preserved its independence,
without the physical power to secure it!
Could tho Poles led by tbe desperate courage
and guided by tho consummate skill of Koscius-
ki maintain their independence! Does any one
anticipate however ardent his enthusiasm, that
this satire people couducted by (ho brilliant
talents, and animated by tho dauntless energy
of Skryznecki, can unassisted repel their ruth
less invaders! Can tire valor, the dcvotldn to
liberty, nnd the deep rooted attachment to tlieh
rugged mountains of the Swiss, tho dcscend-
nnts'of tire Helvetii—tlio conquerors in the
fields of Morgurten und Morin, secure their
independence? Have they not been com
pelled by Austria to bannish their own citizens,
und by l'russin to silence tho freedom of their
picss! Have wc.any reason to calculate upou
a bettor fortune, "than any oilier states, in our
iiuulion! Could any human effort, if we stood
alone, rcscuo us from tho domiihnion, or what
might he termed .the protectioitrof *otn® supo«,
rior power! When we no longer duected our
own uffairs—when our self-government would
be destroyed, or exist, only in name, .should
wo not bo at tho mercy ot those, whose will
would he our law! I will not dwell upon fi/cli
a scene. I will not contemplate the spnctccJo
of tlio now freo and brave—with their nre-
tional banner torn—its stars shooting, madly
from their sphere—marching to tho funeral of
their own liberties by tho lurid glareof the torch
of discord. Tho dissolution of tho'Union I
will not anticipate. Ho who, calmly, catf—
must be more or less than man.
I cannot refrain from briiley rfbticing tito
calumny which lias been lavished upon those,
who deny the constitutional rigfet-aMt.8tnn> to
nullify the laws of tho United States. Because
they have availed themselves of the freedom of
speech end of the press to proclaim their sen
timents, thoy have been charged with want of
patriotism—with tamo submission to wrongs—
with abject timidity. And yet among them I
could recount the names of those who fought
in tho battles and participated in the victories
to which wo owe our independence—of thosi^
who by their talent and integrity, have graced
high offices, to which thoy were elected by
their fellow-citizens—of those, who in their so
cial and .domestic relations, have discharged
their duties with unimpeachable propriety, and
who Imvo been always teady at their coun
try’s call, to afford to it all tho aid in their pow

tentatiously. Are such men justly to be de
nounced as unpatriotic—submissive—timid!
I will not retort upon our antagonists. Many
of them are united to mo by tho bondk of
friendship—many of them I admire for, tho
vigor of their intellect—many of them I ad
mire for their private virtues and their public
services. Believing them to bo in orror, I re
gard their error, in sorrow, not in anger. Itk-
stead of resorting to crimination, I would say
to them in the language of odo, who living in
tho ago of great men, was pre-eminently
great, that “fears for our country become tho
bravo/’ “that timidity with regard to its we'll
being is heroic virtue.” Tho iTlustriotA son qf
Chatham, brooding over tho failure ofthe co
alition against France, when stretched u|km
the bed of sickness, exhausted by debility,
and wracked with pain, forgot his own suffer
ings, and exclaimed with his almost expiring
breath, “Oh my country!” The philosophic
Falkland, when England wa3 distracted with'
civil war, reiterated the word “peace" with a
sigh, and yet perished, intrepidly in battle do-
fending that cause which his conscience told
him was right.
Tho chivalrous Laurens, whilo the council
wero debating, whethor tho capital of his '
native Stato, should he surrendered to tho en
emy was agitated and pate. Tire immortal
Washington as ho expresses himself, trembled
when ho anticipated the destruction of fho
Union, from tho imbecility of the Confedera
tion. Were these raon unpatriotic Would
they have bowed to degrading submission?
Would they have yielded to base timidity?
The patriot who iu his country’s cause, would
meet death in tho field or un tho scaffold—
with a cheek unblanchod—with an oye un
moved—with nerves unquivering—and with
a heart beating its ordinary time—would not
he insensible to apprehensions and feurs, when
dangers threatened that country with whose
glory and whoso shame he was identified,
From tho Federal Union.
LEADING DOCTRINES.
Believing that it will be useful, wo republish
somo important documents, in order to show
the difference between tho doctrines of our Op
ponents, and those which wo entertain.
From the recommendation of Governor Gfe-
mcr, in relation to tho gold mines, our readers
will perceive the policy ofthe Troup parly us
to this great interest. If tho Troup party do
not agree with his excellency in this policy; if
they do not wish (hat the incalculable wealth of
the gold mines should bo poured into (lie Trea
sury, or rather into the Central Bunk; if they
wish that this noble fund should be distributed
among the people, to carry independence, bad
comfort, and happiness in o tho family , of marty
u worthy citizen, who, although honest hnd pat
riotic, is poor: then let them withdraw their
aid from Governor Gilmer. IF they contimfe
to support Governor Gilmer, it is in vain that
they profess to bo friendly to the people.
Mr. Wood’s resolution, proposed at the last
session of tho Legislature, will show, what par-,
ty is friendly to tbe Union; and what party
nourishes in its bosom, men who aro willing to
sco tlio Union dissolved.
Thelotter of George M. Troup to the Nul-
lifiers of South Carolina, will shed great light
on tho principles and conduct bf public men ut
this interesting period. If our fellow-citizens
attached to tho opposite party, wish to preserve
tho Union, llieu let them reprobate the MntK
meats contained in Troup’k letter! arid lot
them refuse to vote for any man, who in the
legislature or elsewhere, hat approved or incul
cated such sentiments. If thoy Support the
advocates sf Nullification, it is it! Vain that thqy?
profess their leva for tho Uniori.
The letter of Jackson will show his unqua]**
tied and decisive condemnation ofthe doctrines
of Nullification: it will likewise show the muw-
ncr in which a patriotic President is determin
ed to quell nhy attempt to dissolve tho Unions
by then who proficii to love, what in act sho?
aro endeavoring to destroy.
Our readers will also sco the compleje con
trast and opposition between the opinions and
sentiments expressed by George M- Troop und
those expressed by Apdrew Jackson on ijre
same important question. While Troop oatk' •
tho Union “a ropoof sand,” Jackson tan+ierv
verified his former declaration, ihat "th* Fed
eral Union roust be preserved. 1 *
