POLITICAL: Tbinga in Me;lwather* For ti» Chrouicle Sr Sentinel. GnEEKVir.LE, Moriwither Co., A«». 29. Io all my ramblings throughout the State, litis is the first County that has exhibited the extreme influence of demagogaeism. Here, tojudge from«ircum3tances around ms.oent, fuitain and Harlaquinism are in the ascendant. Argument, upon political topics, is scouted as antirely unessential tj the purposes es the fire-eaters. Here, as e'sewhere, vagus decla mation and daring assertion, are substituted fur facts; but here especially, the fire-eating speakers attempt imposition upon the creduli ty of the people with a boldness ccmmensu rire only with the purpose sought to be effec ted by it. Who. for lusience, can you imag ine has had the effrontery to get up befor* the people of Meriwe her County, and riecla’e himself a Union m«n. and on the Georgia Platform ? Why, none other than Welter T Colqeilt—‘he first snan to disseminate dieueior, doctrines amidst the very people o whom he now expresses affeetmn for the Union I II thacousci.usness of hypuora-'y cen'.tl mantle that man’s cheek with the blush of shame, iu impress woald be indelible. But a few monies since, and, in his judgment, it were more honorable for the Southern pesp’e to engage to a strife against 'tin Government, with their “erffiee on Iknr backs,” than to sobmit to the Compromise uiemure* o' Congress For h:s nvn part, be asserted, if Georgia did aubuii ,o them, lie would "sell out and move to a tree State”— he would not abide among euc'j abject suhmiseionists. Now, Mr. Colquitt is on the Georgia Platform, be says I— now he is •he exponent of true Union sentiments I New he imputes 'othe party who opposed hie -reasonable purposes of last year, a design to oMtermijui Jiw- WCJ aiuux. of. aha ILsimU auen, at least, is toe intorerco 1 drew from his remarks. Mr C. laid particular stress upon hi* devo.ion to Georgia He wu born, raised and educated hors; b>* family and oonaaxions, many of them, were entombed in her soil; and ho, abort all others, could have no motive in contravening the expressed will es her people in solemn Convention assembled. Yet he said, in advance of the so expressed will, be would desert Georgia, so l his slaves aad go to a free State, if the people presumed to determine contrary te his wishes ! Such ie the man who ia now representing the position of Jodge MaDar.a'd and his party in ibis county. Such is the m?n who claim, to be, with them, a Ireton man. But he is sot honest. I say he is riot honest, beea.se not a word in favor es the Union did I hear him unor. On lhe contrary, ho denounced the acts of the Governmant, he burlesqued the stars and "tripes the flag of our conutry. and mocked our national anthesis He re cited, with the grimmaoe of an accomplished bufioen, portions of thai time-honored ode, '-The Star spanglad Baooer,” and conver ed intu ridicule the very strain that should appeal to every patriot’s heart and breathe joy to the seul of a freeman. He a Union man! Hs lore his country ! Hie selfish, narrow con- Uac'ad mind is net suscept.tile of illumination by euch exalted sen imsuts. Il is too bad, that such men—each arcant political hypocrites should ba permitted to go “nnwhipped ol juriine " They literally assume tho ‘‘livery ol Heaven to serve the Devii in ” Another gentleman, aMr Ramsay, spoke here, and asserted that Mr. Cobb was in favor es Government co-ercton, in tho event of South Carolina’s seeeding. He spoke, too with a fall knowledge of Mr Cobb’s senti rnents apou the subject, and Anarn his assertion to beinconect- He knew that Mr. Cobb had expressly denied being in ftvor of any thing nf the kind, aud yet, <o effect a se’fish, party purpose, he dared to practice this fraud upon his hearers .' The same speak r also declared that the doctrines of Mr. Cobbs last letter were “morjod um than the alien and sedition law!’’ Wherein it was so, be di* not say. He neither read that ’e’.tcr, nor any por ion of it to his audience, that ih»y might, from the dscauient itself, judge the correctness or in correctness of hu assertion, but insde his sweeping denunciation upon no authority wnarever—choosiug rather to damn himself than du hie opponent just'ce f Snch is tho character of the contest, and such its instruments in tins region. If a sap prersion of truth, a perversion of facts and an Qt/prinoipled assertion of error, b*> permit ted to exercise a temporary sway, then may Mvn.sether Conn •, uni r the inflntuce ol certain fire eating speakers, give her vote for McDonald and disunion it is to be hoped that w\ser, better and mure virtuous counsels will prevail. Mr Birjimin H. Hill, of County, responded to th* speech of Mr. Kamsay, and 1 am tnforioe j that be was signally siiccusxfiil n confounding his opponent. I heard many persons express their approbation of his ar gumont, and their enhre concurrence in his views upon the issues ol the day. The posi tion of Mr Ramsay, when Mr. Hill gut through, has beau represented to uis, uc any M’”, Ctisftb^S**Marpn*wy atvarevs. d »»»o pie at tb«s place on Tuesday hat Confining himself entirely o facte and orgumiAts. he Wielded an infldance *uch or fae a and argu ment nuiFi eiercire upon intelligent and honest minds. Ravpectf.illy youas Union. For the Chronicle if* Sentinel. Thomas «J. Burney, Kaq., of Morgaa. Ma bison, Ga., Sept. 3, 1851. D«. Joxks:— As Thomas J. Burney, is now become somewhat conspicuous in these parts as a fire mating orator, and as he now belongs to •hat natty which balievca the South to hare been defrauded and degraded bv the Compromise nets of a lato Congress, I send you, for publication, the following letter addressed by .Air. Burney to the Macon Union celebration committee. I hope you wi’l put the last clause in italics—it will su percede the necessity of much comment. Here is tho letter: “Madison, Feb. 15th, 1851. ”Gentlemen :— Youra of tho7thinat.. inviting me to |oin wichtha friends of tho Union in cel ebrating the approaching anniversary of VVaah ingron’s birth day in tha city of Macon, has been received. It w»uld afford me great pleasure to bn with you on that occasion, but a previous en gagement places it beyond my power. I was one of those who at an early period took the position that tbe Compromise bills then pending before Congress, although they rid not secure tho South aZ/she had a right to demand, yet, under the cir cumstances, offered ths only practicable mode of settling unrcably the vexed question of slavery. 1 see much stronger reasons now, for acquiescing in the rettlemeut, that the measures have be come the laws o» the land. “ You have seeded a suiteb/e ceeristcn io admin ister a rebate to itcesc who are still agitali ig the subject of slavery, by refusing their acquiescence to te'se measures in jeopardy theveacs and harmony, if not the per petuity of the Union. Very respectfully, ’ Thomas J. Burney. “To Mess r 9. A. H. Chappell, and others com mittee.” There, Mr. Thomas J. Burney, do nut “shake your gory locks at me.” I did not do it. You have condemned yourself, and nothing now re mains but to die as decently as circumstances will permit—and God in his mercy, Ac. U iri o v. Por the Chronicle «f* Sentinel. To Wm. H. Chambtrn, Esq., Editor Co lumton* Sentinel. NO. 1. I have for some time intended to call your at tention to one or two points suggested by your editorial, headed “ Mob Law,” under date of 14th ult., I now carry my intention into effect. When 1 assure yon lam nut actua ed by mere partisan prejudice, the tone of my remarks will corroborate my declaration. My sole intent’on is to point out to you tbe dangers o tnc coun try of the course you a e pursuing with refer enee to the matter*of the day, and to ehow you that you are doing as ranch, with a few excep tions, to placs “Mob Law’’ in the ascendant as any ether man in the State. And 1 wd here premise* that when people’s minds become very much inftamd as to any pur pose they wish to carry oat, regardless of the law and of the constituted authorities, then it is they are prepared for “Mob Law.” it marera not upon what subject thev are inflamed —just so they are inflamed, an 4 then th y are ready for excesses. Let the people of .Musco gee county, for instance, become wrv much ex cited by s-ch infiammatory append as arc made to them by the disunion press and orators ci Columbuß, and th» y are prepared, not only to hang negroes under the sanction of “Mob Law,” bat they araal.o prepared to erect the Guillotine •ad ply the bloody axe whenever their judgments shail have become so blinded by excitement as to indicate the victim. 1 doubt very much whether “Mob Law” would have prevailed in other city in this state rave vuurs, for the rimpie reason that the people are no where so much incited as ia Columbus. Do not misapprehend ire at this point. I wish it distinctly understood, that I know nothing ut the persons engaged in the riot in Columbus, and that lam as little acquainted with their pol itics. In all probability there were as mnny ‘Union’ men engaged in it, as ’Southern Righ’»’ men. Possibly there may have been more. Snli this docs not change the position wnic*h 1 have taken, that when tbe popular mind be comes ve»y much inflamed, either pro or con, upon any subject, it ia rendv for excess—prepared to be governed by “Mob Law.” Yob commence the editorir.l to which I have reierred w th :he following paragraph:— “Oar community has just i>cen made co witness tbe most high-handad and humiliating act of violence that it has ever been our duty to chron icle. A human being has been seized without aw bv an infuriated mob, and all thisin a Jan i that boasts ol its ir.ttll geiue. its public spirit, ns patriotism, and that oairas to be a land of Christianity. We blush with shame at the thou* hi.” Let me assure you that if vou and I live to see the triumph of the disorrnnhing and destruc tive doctrines w hich you teach in your column, wp wtii nave mm.h m*e to Sush so we eur seives Are not too aom decapx a-cd— than tne ixecuti'n of one negro by an infuriated mob You are now s -wing the wind, and if it is not • ip ped in the bud. tome of us will have to reap tha whirlwind.

Your voice then when it spoke of “intelhrence,” o’ “ public e irit.” of “ patriotism” and of Christianity” would be lost in ths rush of the mighty wirg of the tempest, and your arm which might to stay tbe tide, would be MJGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING.

Editors:— As lam not quits sure I ehall not bo classed with “anonymous scrib blers,” in which event, a portion of Mr. McMil lan’s invective agaiast them will fall upon my devoted head, I feel inclined to dcpiecats his ire, bv begging his pardon for reporting the discus sion which came off on Saturday last, the 30th ult.,at this place. As I feel disposed, however, “nothing to extenuate, nor au?ht in malice to set down,” I hope he will allow me to pass scot-free. Why be afraid, or ashamed of the truth! for though like others, I may have my in dividual opinions, yet when reporting the view? or sentiments of others, I desire to epcak the ords of “truth and soberness.” Trusting that this pledge aid its redemption on my part, will secure me against his sweeping denunciation oi “anonymous scribblers,” I solicit from him the .-a-ne calm and dispassionate judgment of this article and the writer, as he seemed inclined t<» manifest in the discussion on Saturday lagt. I ask no more; if its is disposed to be just, not to say uenaroua. he will not surely aco.»rd me less. The discussion was opened about 11 o’clock by tho Hon. Robert Toombs, Col. A. J. Lawson, and Jas. H. Royal, Esq- presiding, and Dr. R. H, Belt and Judge Da via acting ns Secretaries He sketch® i in a concise, rapid and masterly man ner the legislative history’ of the country, in con nection with that great and momentous question of sueh vital interest to the South, from the »d --thepassage of the will be impossible for me* in this brief notice, to do justice to thi* able effort nf ourdiatinguiehed Representative. Let It suffice to soy, in the opinions of those best acquainted with him, it was characterised by more than nsual ability. The following points were argued with the most triumphant and hsppy success—the assertion, recognition and adoption of the great republican principle, which the South had conceded in the ever msmorab e Missouri Compromise, and had never been able to regain until tho late settlement of *so—that a people orming a Constitution hod a rignt to decide for themselves their relationship to slavery to tho entire exclusion of Co ng res si mal interferjnee—Congressional non-interven tion, (chimed by the bouth with such singular unanimity) as the basis upon which territorial bills were framed—and the full guarantee of our constitutional tights for theiecovorv of fugitive s aves in the fugitive slave bill. These point# wore most triumphantly sustained in an able ar gument replete with that terseness of expression, vigor of thought and power of condensation so characteristic of the extempore efforts of this dis tinguished gentleman. At ths termination of his heur and a quarter, Mr. McMillan,his com petitor, arose and in a speech of one huur and three quarters, sustained with considerable abil ity, tho cause oi Southern Rights. He opened with an admission most unfortunate for him in this section. He boldly declared that so far from being on tho Georgia Platform, he was in hos tile opposition to it. He fearlessly pronounced its pillars rotten, first, however, carefully remo ving his choice lor Governor (Charles J. Mc- Donald) lest he should encuun‘sr aorne damage in its fah, which he prognosticated (Quere? how can our Burke ir ends support him after this avowal?) He announced himself, however, fur the Constitution and Union of <ur fathers. (Is that the masked battery ?) Hie main points were—.he recognition by Congress of the squat ter sovereignty of California was virtually the passage of the “Wilmot Proviso”—tho refusal by Congrosi to remove the impediments to the slavehuldei contemplated by Mr. Seddwn’s amendment, i/derrentiyn against t'avcry— the penalty in th." bill abolishing tho slave trade in the District, implied the power of Congress over slavery—and the usual objections to the practi cal operation of the Fugitive -Slave bill. But unfortunately for Mr. McMillan, ho does not ?oem to be well posted up as to his party’s opin ions, for while to a Whig, the premises he laid down would have been tenable and his argu ments legitimate, to him. who had always acted with a party yvho held the very principles he as sayed, as not only proper and orthodox,but essen tially republican, they were destine : to prove not only useless, but in tne hands of so skillful end adroit a debater as his opponent. w» uld even be turned against him with considerable forca and effect. As was expected, Mr 1 combs in his re ply referred him to his party’s endorsement of Gen.’l Cass’ principles in the Presidential cam paign—the denial by the Democratic Convention of *47’48 of the power to Congress to legislate either for or against, mediately < r immediately, directly or indirectly on the subject nf slavery, denying the existence of any Mexican laws (im pediments) to their exclusion ; that if the eman cipation penalty was an enuring wedge, it had been one fur the last fifty years il being the law of Maryland at the time of its cession—and that Mr. Mason, a Southern Rights Senator, was changeable with the imperfection, if any, of the Fugitive Slave bill, as he drew it up. After this triumphant vindication of his course, which was loudly and tapturously applauded, the company repaired to the table to partake oi a barbecue which had b«en prepared for the uccasiun. Alter ance bcf-HO us wa®'il Vtm-t enrpme, ance'before us wa« ii tiin-e SKw<.*«^re«r'earpme, (many of ua not anticipating such a pleasure,) took the stand. It was bin first appearance be fore a large portion jf bis audience which would havo been at least as large acam •* it was (about four hundred) had i’ baen certainly known that he would attend with Mr. T. But h-jw shah i describe the effect he produced ! Never has it been my fortune to listen to a more able, eloquent, argumentative, thrilling and painted speech; never an orator ba o w toon uch i hold upon my feel ngs and ju igmenL Theie is n marked con trast between the eloquence of this distinguished Georgian and his eoileague of the Bth Congrce slonal district. While that of t e latter is ol that rapid, strong and impctuoite kind v hich fal ling upon the ear tn deep, full n:id mellow tones hurries th* !istencron by its vehemence,in cnsity and seemingly inexpressible fl »w of thought, ihatof the f rmer is characterized by a pointed ness of apt iication, a thorough mattery of the subject, pathos of expression mid a comprehen sive power of analysis, which conveyed in those peculiar fife-like notes (once huard is never for gotten) seldom fail to arrest the attention and enchain the mental faculties u nil the subject is presen’ed in such a light as to render the argu ment almost irresistible in its power to convince. His vindication of Mr. Cobb and the Union Constitutional party, in the opening of his speech, from the senseless and ridiculous aaperaions cast upon them, wae most triumphant. He demonstrated most conclusively, that ihe Com promise measures were in strict accordance with the demands oi the South, as expressed in their meetings from primary to legis alive and con ventional, and could be honorably acquiscedin. His advocacy of tne principles of .he U. C. party, (the Constitution and the Unbn both,) made me feel proud to be associated with a party which could be de coded with such signal ability and success. In tho brief review of his course in Congress, he had occasion to allude to the denuncia’ion and vile abuse which was hesped upon him, for daring to entertain tho opinion tha’ the Mexican laws would continue in force until repealed by Congress, ico vid not but feel the deepest compassion for some under the in fliction of the severe and scathing rebuke, ad ministered tc them for the coarse and slander ous epithets heaped upon him for declaring the existence of impediments to the entrance of the slaveholder into our acquired territories by the same individuals who are now ready to dissolve the government for refusing to removo tbe so iden tical obstructions, tbe existence of which they denied with so much acrimony. The causticity of bis remarks excited no very pltaiurable sen sations in the brees’s ol those who bad exhibited so little charity toward him. Turning around to those who had pronounced him “unbound on the alavorv question,” he exclaimed “unsound/ ’ “unnund/” The tone of indignant reproach in which It was uttered gave point to the irony and sarcasm it conveyed. There are always to be found some who in their fancied security, are aure to expose sooner or later tbe vuh enble coin’s of the mall of political infallibility in which they inc ise themselves, through which a skillui a 1- versary is sure to inflict a ranAHngr wouni. Leaving them to extricate themselves as they could, from their anomalous position he advert ed to the action of Congress upun the territorial question, pro»iug mostcunciusiv-ly that in the rejection by C mgress of Mr. Suda »u’s amend ment for flavor v, and Mr. Felch, against it, the doctrine of non-intervention had ouen fully ear ned out After a britf allusion io the extreme stringency of thj provisions of the Fugitive Slave bi i, he concluded, with a most eloquent and stirring appeal to the honest and conservative men of the country, in beds if of the Union and the Consti’ution, and in vindication of the honor and dignity of the State of Georgia.

J Dear Sir :—I avail myself of the privilege es eur fsruier acquam ancn to address a short letter to ‘yen on the subject ol our present political position here and the probable bearing earning evinlg its your State may hare on the tel tima c aclian in cure. This tmu last year the people ol South Carolina were unied to a naan, in the opinion teat South Carolina shouh unite with her sister States of the South, in resisting a I Nertber* aggressions, whether ihroujh the Federal Govsrnment or by the States, individually. Our unanimity was sin- But certain men who make their boa-t "labored continually for the last 30 years (S break up up this government; that life iteeifh*. always bsen an inr-,. posiliaWon lira oou.lßmu ti»n, d*wu te the present day, has been a con liuuaM sane, of oppression." taking advantage of she disaacisfao.ion prevailing amongst eur citiiens, have thought it a pro*er time t* carry out their long cherished designs. Hence the ae'ion in our last legislature, taring our cili xens double, and providing for the election of in mb«ra to a convention for ihe purpose es seceding from the Union, and perpetrating a fraud npnn the people by ordering the election fj’tkuilh, before any discussion of tho atari's of 'h* qae.tioncould ba bad. By eyfUmatie juggling, a majority es tbe members to this eoa'ention are for escessisn and soma of onr presses declare that it is the intention of ihe convention te secod* when it convenes. T ere is ruuoli misgiving amongst those even who have advocate! that moasnre; but all kinds of niaccaovring have been resorted to, to qoieb their fears and sileaeo their doubts. Oneofyvbieh is, that although Mitiieeipfi re pukiaUe eeuteien and is willing to aeqaiesce iu ibe compromise, yet. General Quitman writes encouragingly to some of our secession lead era, urging them by all means to keep Seutb- Carolma up to the rack—to aiake her secede ; that alth ragh Mississippi is not ready for se cesrion.herself, aud it will not do for bins to cak* ihi* stand, yet if South Carolina will only bring on the issue, he will sustain her. Now, my dear air, Ido most earnestly object to this course in your candidate for Governor. It is true we do wish most heartily to unite our counsels with yours to devise measures for our future protection fro n that fell spirit of fanaticism tn our Northern Brethren, that is sacking through Congress end by all other means to circumscribe and smother out the in stiu ion of slavery ; but we wish il to bean open and avowed unien of sentiment and action, in which we can say not only to o< r owa people, bat to the world, that the whole peep’s of all the si veholding States are de termined to uphold that institution against the world ; that on an alarm, they will unite with all th"ir force, moral and physical, to protect themselves ; bnt we de not wish to unite our selves to a faction, even if that faction is head ed by General Quitman. Tais asrarance from such a disiingurehed source is calculated io do the anti-seoassionists much injury ; for we take the ground that tha whole South shoul I co-opera'e, an I this is thrown into our 'eetli, to show that secession is the only thing that will bring about 00-oprration; and so confident are some *f our rabid secession!,’*, that ihey are witling to bat largely, that if Quit man of Mississippi and McDonald of Georgia, are elected, that South Carolina will secede. A, to the fret of Q'tiimau’s writing letters of tho import above alluded o, Rhett in his speech near Rossville, on the 4 b of July, as serted that Q'li'.rsi'n hid witlen that to him Col.

Very Respectfully, Jas. A. Lewis. Dr. Robert D. Brown. To this letter when published in Mississippi, Gen. Quitmas made the following reply, in which ha effects to deny its truth, and we de sire the r’adar to scan closely his letter, and tee how adroitly he evade, a direct douial or disavowal of the charge. He says tince his nomina ion for Governor he has n* recollection of having writtea a letter to Carolina, bat ad roil, that before hi, nomination in letters to gentlemen of South Carolina, “I endeavored to present the issues which were involved in oar canvass, and I mat hire expressed the wish that South Carolina wosld not recede from the position which eha had assumed, and my hope and expectation that Mississippi would maintain the potition of reiittance ehe had taken." No impartial mind can road hi* letter with outcoming to the conclusion that it is a virtual admission of the truth of Mr. Lewis' state ment, and even more. SuMMsavitt*, Aug. 2S, ’6l. Dr. IF.

The most of these charge, ar* se noto riously untrue that it would be a waste of tirno to contradict them.

Sir: —ln years that havo passed, you and I belonged to tho same political party, and as I supposed, entertained ihe same opinions concerning certain great doctrio is, which iu times of peace and patriotism, might be theo retical merely, aad harmless; butte wh.ch a neighboring State is about to give practical impor'anc*, sustained by the Conven'ion whish nominated you as a candidate for the office of Governor, and by the Secession party in general Wo now differ. I know that my opinions have not changed. Your com mandmg position; your influence; the irn poitanca es the principles involved; tha dan ger of the crisis, and rnv own auxie y to know ihe troth, end to embrace it when known ; will, I trust, be received by you, as a sifliclent apology tor my wishing to commune with you upon the,o interesting topic,. I honest y be here, that if the doeir ne, set forth by the Ci nventton which nominal :d yon, and re cently avowed by yourself, were to be gene rally reaeived as the trie doctrines; this Union would be bound together by a mere rope es straw. They would infuse into the States such a centrif gal force, that like th* planets of the solar system, relieved irom the a traction of gravitation, they would fly from their orbits, and rush upon an unknown desti ny. These doctrines would throw us bier to tbe Uniou under the Articles of Confederation, when,'as all know, each S ate was fully sove reign, and from that very cause, possessed this centrifugal force in sa great a degree, that they had already bogan to move from tlioir orbits ; and were only savad from that unknown deviny, by th* adoption of the Constitution, winch iufussd into the Unien the at ractive force es national principles, which thereby became the Sun of our politi cal system, about which tho several States ~wi b their reserved moved in "■native bjglituev, a»d aueoiated glory. The Convention which nominated you, selected ihisd**trine ot'asaassion, as the battle field during the present canvass I wish to stato corrsstiy, the positions of the two op pos ng parties upon this field. The Secession party contend, that each State ie independent aad fully sovereign ; that by virtue of this undivided and complete sovereignty, a State may, at pleasure, seaods from the Un on, unopposed by the Government of the Union or by lheco-S ates. That if a State eomplan '.hat the Constitutional compact has beau vio liled, and in consequence thereof she pro poses to secede her judgment is final and con elusive upon all concerned ; and consequent ly, neither th* Government of the Union, nor the other States, though co equal parties to that compact, have any right of judgment in opposition to hers. The Union party hold, that when there are several parties to a compact, each has aa equal right of judgment in regard to the meaning of it, and of any alleged infraction of its conditions. If one party to a contract, violate it and will not be bound by it; tbe other early is not bound. But who ie to judge of this when there is no superior authority to decioe 1 Each party, the accused as wa'l a* be Accuser, baa an eqaal right of jsdgment | If thia be not to, then any man can release h taself from his contract, by simply accnsing the other party of an intraotien and non ob servance of it. No person of common sense will pretend, that an individual ean io this way, justly release himself from a coatract; and what toysterieua, incomprehensible virtue is there in sovereignty that oan authorize and justify a State in dotng it ? The Union party freely admit the right of sftcewioH, but not by virtue of sovereignty. They admit that a State may secede from this Union, upoa tie principle on which the United Provinces seceded from Spain ; en which the Thirteen American Provinces seceded from the British Crown ; on which the people of France hive three several times struck d wn vhree ihrones ; on which tho Greeks raised the Crew against the Crescent and broke the Otto man yoke from their necks; on which Mexico and tho South American Republics seceded from ihe Spanish monarchy ; and on which Texas, one of the United Mexican States seceded from the Mexican Union. It is that principle proclaimed in the American Declara tion of Independecce iu these words : u We hold these truths to be self srideet ; at all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable n?h’s ; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit ot happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are inbtituted mea, deriving their j 'st powers from the consent of the governed ; that v henever any form of gove r nmeot becomes destructive el three ends, it is the right oi the people alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foon daticn on such principle*, and organizing its powers in such ’orm, as to (hem thill see** most likely to <.fiect their safety and happiness.” The same principle ia sabstariti'i’.ly avowed in the fourth Resolution of the Georgia Con vention, lor which, as a member of that Con vention, (gave my vote. Tots right of secession or revolution (for they are the same) is con fin*-d to no form of government, whether Federal or National; Monarchical or R>pab . icau Tfie Dacfew becomes des’ructivo of these ends, it ie the right of the peop e to alter or to abolish it ” The Declaration no where pats the right of secession upon the principlo o sovereignly, but upon the principle of the unalienable right of man to resist oppression aud protect him self; and the Ainer can Colonies, though not eoiereigo, but British dependencies at the lime, ex ircisad thia right of seif-prutec’iou and secession In the esses above alluded to, some of the seceding or revolutionary parties w*re sovereign and some were not; ono was a State in a Union of States, and another a consolidated Nation. io opposition to the doc rine of tho Seces sion party. I lay down the following proposi tion, to wit: The States severally, are not fully sovereign; but the States, in their united character, con stitute a nation which ia sovereign to the foil extent of the delegated powers. If I can sus’ain this prop Motion, then yo r doctrine cf secession mu t fall ; icr if it b« true that each Slate, when the Constitution was adopted, united, (or t« use the language of J fferson) amalgamated a portion of her sovereignty, with the same portion of sove reignty of every other State, so as to form a natioax) sovereignty, separata, distinct and independent of that which arch State . eserved to herself; while that which was reserved ia equally separate, dis’inet and independent of that which was vos ted in the Union ; then it c<iono be true, as the secession party contend, that each State possesses all the sovereignty which she possessed before the Coosii’.u ion was adopted, and consequently, t tat the preo ent Union is not National in principle, but purely Federal, as it was under tbe Articles of Confederation, and as it must be, if now as then, each Slate retains all her sovereignty. I will sustain my proposition— -Ist. By the journals of the Convention by which tbe Constitution was formed. 21. By tbeauthority of history. 3d- By the recorded opinions of the delegates in that Convention. 4. By tho recorded opinions of Statesmen by whom tho Constitution was a 'opted, and of those by whom its adoption was opposed. 5. By the internal evidences of the Constitution itself. 6. By reason and common sense. Let me premise, that the Union under the Articles of Confederation was purely federal; these articles were a league between sovereign States or nations; the second Article declares that “Each Stalo retains its sovereignty, free dom and independence.” The Congress was a Contre?s of sovereigns; each sovereign or State paid her own de'egate, could recall him at pleasure, or instruct him while in Crngro»s now to vote and act. Congress had no power to pass !aws« that would operate upon indi vidual citizens, the laws cou'd operate upon the sovereign States only, and if a S ate would not obey the law thare was no way to enforce it but by war. The Slates frequently would not comply with the law, especially with re spect to the payment of their re«pecdve quota of money in o the treasury Even Mr. Jef fe'son recommended thai a frigate should be sentout by Congress to se ze upon the com meree of any defaulting S ate- The treaaury became bankr jpt, Congress was palsied, the Confederation became coutemp’ible and the Union was fast sinking in its own fel lenew. Many thought the evil might be remedied by amending the Articles of Coafedera ion, so aw to give Congress more power, especially as to commerce. Congress, by a resolution r ecu tn mended tha Steles to appoint delegates to a Convention for this purpose, and the States did appoint them, who met ia Convention in Pailadelphia. These delegates were author ized by *heir respective 8 ates to do no.hing more t'an to amend theee Articles; but when the Convention met, and the membe s cansult ed with each other, a majority came to the conclusion that the Art etas of Confederation could not be amended so as to remove the evil complained of. They believed tha thens evil* wou'd coat nue eo long as each Slate retained all her sovereignty, and Congress could pass laws operating upon these sovereignties only, and that it was neceasarv to form a National Union and a National Government, by each S'.ato jailing hat part of her sovereign power which concerned all the Sutei, each as the power to make war, enter into treaties, regu late commerce and the like, with tue same sovereign of evety other State, aud givd the Government autnontv to paa< laws and enforce them upon individual citizear, (instead of .sovereign States) within the limits of the powers delegated, while each Sta.e re - tamed all sovereign powers whica concerned her domestic interests only. And now I ap peal to the Journals of t..e Convention by which the Constitution was formed. On the 2flth day of M*y, 1787, Mr. Randolph, a delegate from Virginia, offered a senes of resolations, of which the following was the firs:: Rtscirtd., Tue.t the Articles of the Confederation oagut to be &u corrected and enlarged as lo yccotc plit-b the ©ejects pzopo»>cd by their iustitutioo, odme ly : co uui n defence, sec j rity of liberty, and gen era! welfare. These resolutions were eubini.ted to a committee- You will observe that thia resolu ioa pro 'Ofted co thing morelhaa o amend the Aru cle. of ConfeJeraaon; but upon con.uluruou he came io the conc.usion that a Union oi ino States merely Federal, would not acGompiuh VOL.LXV—NEW SERIES Vol. XV- NO. 37. the objec.s aimed at. On the 30'.n May iln» propositions of Mr. Randolph were road, and upon his own motion tbe first one, (which i*,| above and which proposes merely tv amend j the /Articles of Con ede ration) was postponed, i in pl ico of which he moved to substitute the i following: I Rcs&lttd, That tbe union of the flt&tes merely , Federal, will no’, aecsapiisk the objects proponed by tbe Artisles of Confeeoratloa, namely, “oounnon defence, security and general welfare.” It was then moved by Mr. Butler, second*?:! hyMr. Randoipn, to postpone the considera tion of said resolution, in order to lake up the following resolatioa submitted by Mr. Butler, viz: Resolved, That a National Government ought to be established eonustiog of a Supreme Legislature, Jadiciary and Executive, It was moved by Mr. Road to psstpons the consideration of the last resolution in order to take up the following : Resolved, That in ordar to earry into execution ths design of the States in forming thia Ceavenifen, and to accomplish tbe objects propped by the Con federation, “a morstffaciive Government, aonristiag of u Legislature, Judiciary and Executive ought to be established.” Read’s motion was lost Batlsr’s resolarion then passed, six States in favor, one against it, and cue divided. Oaths ISth of June, Mr- Patterson submitted a aeries of resolutions ol which the following is the first. Rtto ved, That the Articles sf Csnfederatidn engbt to b« so revised, corrected and rnlarged, as to render the Fede nd Conftuutivn adeqaate to the exi tjeneies of Govern neut and the preservation of tbe Union. Mr- Dickerson offered a resolution similar to the above, which.as well ae those offered by Patterson, was rejected. Tbe resolutions firs: ffered by Ra idolph were men reported w»l>j some alterations. You will notice that there were t'rree resolutions pending before the Co'.ivention at the same time as that of Run do ph, which said that “a Unioa of the SlXiep merely Federal” was insufficient. That of Mr. Butler, which said that a Na.ional Govern ‘.r ef.t ought in be and thM Qf Mr Read winch prop&ed uo ohAugo in tbe feeder nl feature of the Union. Os these three, tbe Conveation preferred Butlers, which iu ■■•2 reel terms proposed a Naiiona* Government And at a later period, the Contoation. after long and mature diicassion. rejected Patter son’s resolution, the first one of which pro posed an amendment of the Federal system. Do not the Journal of the Convention show, that it was tne deliberate design of the Members to change tho Federal Union in o a National Union to a greate ,or less extent. This could not be effected unless the several Steles weald deloga ea greater or lees portion of their sovereign power 1 will now appeal to the authority of history. Piikiu’s Civil History of tho United Slates has long been a work of established authority. I re.er yoe to the second volume of that author After informing us of the mealing of ?he Con vention, the Historian procosds to sav : first great question among the members of this assembly was, whether th-y should amend tbe old or form a new sy«cem. By tbe resolve of Congress, as well ae the insirubtions of soiils ol the States, they were met “for the sde aid egress purpose ot revising ths Articles of Confederation. Such, how ever, were the radical defects of the old Govern ment, that a majority determined to form an entire new one.” On the 29th of Msy, Edmund Raudo'ph of Virginia, submitted to the Convention, sis een regulations as the basis of a new Coiistitu lien.” Tne historian tken gives these resolu tions, the first oae of which I hive already transcribed, and nays: “ These resolutions, es Mr. Randolph, called th*? Virginia p’an, were debated and amended until the 15th June, when Mr. Patterson, of Mew Jersey, of fered to the Convention the following propositions as amenduienta to tbs arrieles of eonfeJaration.” Pages 22s and 228.” The author then t c Resolution?, the first es which I have copied above. The au thor proceeds: “These proposi’ions, called the Jersey Plan, no doubt embraced the tenoral views ©f those in the Convention, who wished ra»rely to amend the ar icks of confederal ion. They were debated until the I9ih es June, and were rejected bv seven States against three, find one divided New York, New Jersey Delaware were in fevor of them, and all the other states against them, except Mi ary land, whose mem bers were equally divided.” I heg you to notice that Georgia voted against amending the federal system, and in favor of the national plan. “ The questi' n (says the historian) being thus de finitely settled agaicst federation, the Convention resumed tbo reed aliens ol Mr. Randi Iph, and they were the subject of debate and amendment until the 4th of July.” The author proceeds to eay, that they were submitted io a Committee, “ for tne purpose of reduc ng them to the form of a constitution, finally to another Committee, combating ol Johnson, Hamilton, Morris*, Madison, and King. “ to r»vi»e the siyle and arrange arti ciea ” The historian proceeds: “ Having determined to form a new system of go vernment, the States were neiriy unanimous that : t should consist of ‘ a supreme legislative, executive and j idicary? ” —Page 232. u lt was not to be expected (suya the historian) that so radical a change in the federal governu*ent as timt ycßymmendad to .tfari cons: uera. ion of the r co'.'id ihe rumd -• easily brought to harmonize, either on the subject of tbe organization of a national government, or with respect to the powers proper and neecs?ary to be granted to thoce who snuuld be entrusted with its ad ministration.” “ The new system was hailed with jry and oven with enth'ifiiasßi by one part of the comtnuuity; by another it was viewed with disnust and jealousy, it immediately beaama the theme of general conver sation and deoate, and newspapers and pamphlets were the vehicles of confiding opinions.” Page 264. I will offer to your consideration one mure quotation, which i- couc naive, eo far ashistory can conclude aquea ion. “The radical difference between the parties in Virginia, and in other Slates, respecting the new syst: in, was, that ii departed from the t rincif les oi u confe ieracy, and constituted a consolidated nations' government vested with extensive powers operating not upon States, but upon iudiv duals, and that the peep e on whom it was to operate were not secured ag inet the improper exercise cf those powers by a bill cf rirbts. Tnc loss of sovereignty mid of irflavnee, was felt by the large States, and led them to a more particular examina ion of the vaii Ous powers transferred to the different departments of the new government?’— Page z 72. Every quotation which 1 havo made proves, that tiro Convention intend-d to form a N.i tional Union and a National Government, in contradistinction to one purely Federal, that is, one in which each State would retain all her sovereignty. What became of that sovereign ty, the lose of which (as the h stonan tells us) caused anxious feel ng in the lar/e states, if i. were not vested in the National Union. When the Cossiitution was before the peo ple for their consideration, Mr. Jefferson, in a letter to a friend, says: “Our new constitution is powerfully attacked in the American newspapers. The otjactions are, that its effect would be to form the ihitteen elates into one.” (Jeffjrcon’s works, vol. 2, page 2.9 ) Nb’v, how could tho Constitution form thirteen states into one state or na ion, unless tho several states, vested sovereignty in the Union, which thereby became sovereign to tue extent of the power vested ? Tho people who opposed the adoption of the Constitution could not say that its effect would be to destroy tho sovereignty of the several states altogether, when the constitution iteelf expressly rslerves to tbe states, or people, ail that was not ves ed. I am. in the next place, to sustain my pro portion by the recorded opinions of the delegates n the Convention which formed the Constitution. And first, of those who were in fiver of adopting it. 1 will rely first upon tno au hority of the President es the Conven tion. After the Constitution was completed, Gen. Washington laid it before Cong e-s with a ie tor from hitnae.f to that bedy, iu that let ter he &ays: “It is obviously impract'cable, n the Federal G ivernment of these States to secure all tue rights of independent sovereignty to each, and yet prov.' le for the interest and surety of a I Indi vi iuuls en tering into society m ist give u*»a sh.;re of libertv to preserve the rest. The magnitude of the sacrin-e must d-pend ss well on situation and circumstances, ss fn tbe object to be obtained, I is at all time? d (Retail to art* with i rec is; on, the line between tho c rights which must be suirendered, anu th>e which m<y be reserved. And oa the proeent occasion this difficulty w is increae-jd by a difference among thefe*« ral States as totheir situation, extent, babiu and particular intereste. In ail our ddiberatious on ibfosubj ct, we kept steadily in cur vie*/ that which rppeared to us tbe greatest interest of every true American, tba coasolidaiioH of our Union, in which te involve! our pro®, erity, f licity, safety, psrhspe oar national existence.” (Bitkin', vol. 2, page 263.) I commend this extract to your seriom con sideration. Ii is wholly inconsistent with the doctrine of the Secession party. Wash’ngton declares that a Faderal Government, that is, one in wf ich each Sialo retains a ’ i's cover- is inconsistent with the interest and safe y of ah, an ! that the Conven’d n eneouu tered great 'iffuiilties in d cid:ng whit inde pendent righ s of sovereignty should bo re served, and what surrendered, by the several States; -.nd that in deciding this tbe Conven ti>n kept in view the consolidation of the bnion, as an object tube accomplished by tnetn of the greatest interest. Boonaf er taking the oath of ofli’e as Pre eiden:, Washington reured to the Senate Cniisber.and made an addrassto both lioussh, from whic» I make uo following extract: ‘'Nopeople can ba bound to eoknowtedge and adore tne invisible han't which conducts the a If-in of men more than rhe j»eople of the United Stites. Every step by which they have advanced ! o tl*e ebaractet of .in independent nation, seems to have teen by some token of p-evidential agency And in the important revoiuti< n just ac complished in tbe system of thair united G vern ment. the tranquil deliberations end voluntary con sent of so many dip’.iacc communities from which the event bai resulte-l, cannot be compared wbh me means by which most Governments have been e- • tabiisbed, without some return of pion-* nr* itudc, along wi h a hamole an icipation of fbs *‘ e _‘ which tbe past seem to presage.

Let me draw your attention to the Farewell Address es Washington, when we compare the prediction therein contained with tegaru to ll.e efforts which would bo made to dissolve this Union, and which he said he foresaw, with the facts now before us, we are tempted to number him among the prophets. If the limits of this letter would permit, I should like te make copious extracts; burl will eelec a sentence or two only, which show bis opinion of the character of the Union. “The unity of Government which constitutes you one people, is also now dear to you.” In what sense, Jet me ask you, can the peo ple of the United Stales be one people, i‘, in deed, the people in State are a distinct sovereign communi y, hound to the people of 'heo her States by no national tie, and owing allegiance to no comm n sovereign f Let the Father of bis country again speak: “It is of infinite momeul that yea should properly estimate the immense value of year national link.* to your collective and individual happinew.” If this be u rational Union, as Washington *ays it it, then each Sia’.e cannot be fully sove reign, for in that ca<-u the Union would, of necessity, be federal. Again be says: “Citizens by birth or choice of a common country, hit cauoiry has a right to concentrate your affec ions. The name ot An er lean, which be'oaga to you in your national capacity, mast always exalt the last prido of patriotism more than aay appelia.ion derived from .o?al ducrimiualions.” What common country is that of which Washington ape-k», if it be not that whole country which lies within tha broad limits of he Union 1 What national capacity is that of which he epeaks, if we huva no other capacity <• citizens, but ns citizens ol one State in a »‘onfed~. B *tton of Mia.es 1 L wi»: oaxt appeal to Madison, -me of the most eifc.enl members of the Convention that formed the Constitution, and the* ablest ex pounder of it. In a speech delivered by him n the Convention in reply io Hr. E lswor:h> while speaking of the confederacy then in ex istence, he says: - “He also appeals to our good faith ft the obser vaace of* tae '’onfederacy. W> itaow w? have formed one inadequate to the purposes lor which it was made. Why then adhere to a sys'em which is proved to be vo remarkably defective ? I have impeach*! a number of States for the ialrac'ioaaf the confederation, J have not even spired myowa *(ate, nor can I j tally spare h|s. Did not Uoanej* ticut refuse her compliance to a federal req lisiticn ? His she said lor the two last years, an/ money into (he continental treasury? and does this look tike Government, or che observance of a solemn com pact? Experience shows ihtl the cotife iera.ion is defective, and we must in a new nat.oail Govern ment, guard eg inst these delects.” (Pitkin a, voL 2. page 23d* When sou reflect that M idisna: in this speech, says, :hat the Confedeiaiion. in which each State was fully sovereign, was inade quate to its objects; that it was radically de tective ; that they ought not to adhere to it, but must take under "a new National Government;” I think you will be obliged to admit that it was not his intention to leave each Stale in the possession of all her sove reignty an I independence, under the new Constitution which he was advocating. In the letter written by him in IS 10 in opposition to the South Carolina construction of the Virginia Resolution* of ’99, he says : “It (the Constitution was f rmed bv the States, 4 bat is, toy the Peope in each of the States, acting in their Highest sovereign capacity; aud formed ly bv (bewme authority which formed the State Constitutions. The Cor.stitution being a compact among the States io 'heir highest sovereign cap ei'.y, and con stitbting the people thereof one people for certain purposed, it cmoot he (literal or rnnuiled at the will of the States individual y, as the Constitution of a State may be at its individual wilt.” The part of this let er to which I wish to direct your a temion ; is that in wh ch it is said that the Constitution constitutes the people of the United Slates, one people forcer ain pur poses. If it be true (hat the people of the United States are one people, one communi ty, no matter to what extent; then it cannot be true that they are at the tame time thirty one distinct people or communities, each fully sovereign. Other passages might be selec’ed from the writings of Madison, which would show that he did not think each State retained all per sovereignty when the Constitution Was adopt ed; but let (he above suffice. Edmund Randolph was a distinguished member of the Convention, who offered the resolufiou above inserted, in favor of aNi •ional Union. Me was afterwards a member of the Virginia Convention, by which tne Constitution was adopted. In a speech de livered by him in eply to Patrick Henry, he taid : “ The members of the General Convention were particularly deputed to meliorate the Confederation. On a thorough contemplation of the subject, they found it impossible to amsnd that system : what was to be done ? T.' e dangers of America, which will be shown at another lime by p&rricul -.r enumeration, ywnimi iwnpii i . Mr Randolph proceeds :o show die ineffi ciency of the Confedera*. on, aid then says s “ After meeting in Convention, the deputies from (he States communicated their information to one another; on a review of our critical situation, and of the impjhiibility of introducing any degree of unpr * Yemeni into the old system; what oight they to have done ? Would it not have been treaeo .to return without proposing Home scheme to relieve their distressed coutry?”—Pitkin vol. 2., pp. 271,272. C< n-idering the resolution which was offered y Randolph in tho Convention that formed tha Cons itution, and his speech in the Vir ginie Convention, can you doubt, that in his opinion, the adoption of the Qp.-mtitution pro duced a radical charge irj the Federal system, and es abliohed a N vional Union, in which, of course, each State could not retain all her sovereignty. To show you the opinion which he eniena ned of the go vernmant, vh le each State did ie ain all her sovereignty, I make another extract from his speech, in whi hhe speak-t of the language of the States to Con gress : “ What was tbe reply 'othe demands and requisi tions of Congress? Y>u are too contemptible, we will despise mid disregard you.” The persons upon whose authority I have rehed, were all members of the Convention, and in favor of adopting the Con<ti ? ution. 1 will now r fer you to other members who were opposed to it, and who wished each .State to retain all her sovereignty. Mr.. Bradford, of Delaware, said : “ Hut what hive ’he people already said? We find the Co federation defective—go and give addi tional powers io the Confederation give to it tba impeats, regulation of trade, power to collect (he taxes, and the n cans to discharge our foreign and domestic debts ? Can we not then, as their dele gates, agree upon dirs, can we not cie rly grout these powers ? Why then, when we are met must entire district, and new grounds be tak'-n, end a government, of which the people had no idea, be insti’utfd?” “ Let us then do what in in our power ; amend and enlarge the Confederation. but not alter the Federal sys’em.” [Pitkin, pp. 249 and 241 ] Mr. Bradford thought thst to adopt tho Constitution would he to take entire, oia'inct and now grounds ; that it would not amend, but changa ’he Federal system. That system cou'd not have been wholly abandoned so long as each Bta*e reta : ned all her sovereignty* for tha • as the first principle of it. The historian “ We would h*4re s’atc, that tbe delegates from the ‘-tete of New York, w re Mr Yates, Mr Lan-ung, Jr. anl Mr. Hamilton.
