CoMhU. 20tA August, 183%
To Messrs. Gone A Boner:
Gentlemen,—Tho irtanner in wliich you
have noticed nty reply to your Editorial
article, calling on the Candidates tor Con
gress for the expression of their political
opinions, compels me again to address
^you.
I am willing to aJmit that you, as
Veil as all others, have the right to know
the opinions of all persons who uro Can
didates for Congress, or the Legislature,
but, as a public journalist professing to
give information to tho people, I cannot
heli-ve you have the right to withhold
from the public the names of candidates
until you know their opinions, dr even nf
ter you do know them, when they hap
pen to entertain opinions different from
'■•yours. We have, however, boili express
ed our 'views upon this matter, and tho
public must determine between us. That
part of your Editorial article of the 11th
Inst, wliiph now claims my attention, has
reference to your strictures on my politi
cal opinions as expressed in my letter to
you, in which you seem to have greatly
misunderstood-me, or you would not have
charged the course 1 intend to pursue ns
based on theCarolina doctrine of Nullifica
tion. 1 am not certain that 1 know the pro
cise meaning of, and extent tq which that
doctrine would go. I cannot, therefore,cet*
tainly say that you have charged me unjust
ly, though I think that you have—but you
must admit, it was more easy to make the
charge, and denounce my opinions, thnu
to have shown they were wrong—and that
you have preferred the oasievtask: Unless
1 am greatly deceived myself, (and if I
am, I am willing to be undeceived) my
opinions and the course 1 would recom
mend Georgia to pursue in the last resort,
are based on the Virginia Resolutions oi'
’98 (the text book of Democratic Repub
licans,) and the opinions of Jefferson (the
apostle of liberty,) of Madison and others,
fheir great loaders—Let us examine them.
My first propusitinn is, “ it is my opin
ion that each State has the right to judge
of the constitutionality of overy law of
Congress—and that each State has the
sight to declare every law unconstitutional
which it believes to be so!—and that the
time nod the occasion when this shall be
done is only a matter of expediency.”—
The third Virginia Resolution is as fol
lows—“ i'hal this assembly doth explicit
ly anil peremptorily declare that it vieies
the powers of the Federal Government,
ns resulting from the compact, to which
the States are parties, as limited ley the
plain sense and intention of the instrument
. constituting the compact, -id as no further
■valid, than they tire authorized b, the
grants enumerated in that compact; & that
in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dan-
> gerous exercise of other powers, not grant
ed by the stiid compart, the'States who are
parties thereto, have the right, and are in
<|m v hound to interpose for arresting the
progress of the evil, and for maintaining
within ihutc respective limits, the authori
ties, rights, and liberties uppertaiuing to
them. And Mr. Madison in that cele
brated Report which has immortalized
iiis name, defending this resolution a-
gainst tho attaeks of liie Federalists of that
day, says, “The Constitution is a com
pact io wliich the Stales aio parties—It
appears to your Committee, to be a plain
principle, founded in common sense, illus
trated by common practice, and essential
to the nntme of compacts, that when re
sort can be had to no tribuual superior to
tho authority of the parties, the parties
themselves must be the rightful judges in
the last resort whethet the bargain made,
has been pursued or violated. The Consti
tution of the United Slates was formed hv
the sanction of the Suites, given by each in
its sovereign capacity. It adds to the sta
bility and dignity as well as to tho authori
ty of the Constitution, that it rests on this
legitimate and solid foumlaiion. The
States then being the parties to the
Constitutional compact, and in their sove-
submission. But she knew her rights,
was not afraid to declare them, and would
not be driven from her position. What
was the consequence! The General Gov
ernment was forced to make another trea
ty with tho Indians, and putchaso horn
them at an extravagant price, tho strip of
land, (the subject of controversy) to re
lieve herself from the unpleasant and dis-
agreaahle situation in which sho had been
placed by the imprudence and rashness of
her Chief Magistrate. Tho troops of the
United States weie marched back again,
and Georgia und tho principles of ’98
triumphed.
I am well aware there were not want
ing persons at that time, who maintained
the omnipotence of tho General Govern
ment, and Iter right to sell a State; but
you wore not among them, nor of them.
Your voice was thou heard ably maintain
ing the rights of the State.
I can perceive no diffurenco in princi
ple bet ween that caso and tho principles
under which we then iictod, aud those
for wliich I now contend.
li was contended that tho General
Government had the right to mako i ll
treaties, und that a treaty was the supreme
law of the land, and that resistance to it
would be treason. Georgia contended,
and rightly too, that while treaties prop
erly made, were like laws made in pursu
ance of tho Constitution, tho supremo
law i,f the land, yol there was ho power
givpn by tho Constitution which author
ized any treaty by which a Slate could bn
deprived of any part of her territory
without her consent, and that the new trea
ty with the Indians was unconstitutional,
and like an unconstitutional law was null
and void.
There is another and a recent case
wliich is fresh in tho recollection of ns all.
By a clause in the Constitution, Con
gress has tho power to tegulale commerce
with foreign nations, and among the seve
ral States, and with the Indian tribes.
Undor this power a law was passed,
commonly culled the intercourse law, not
only to regulate commerce with the In
dians, but all other intercourse, and io
gran' licenses to while people to live a
moiig them for commercial and other pur
poses. A f- w years back, the Cherokee
Indians undertook to assume sovereign
powers, & erect a separate &, distinct gov
ernment. To put a stop to this encroach
ment upon her sovereign rights, Georgia
passed a law requiring the white -people
living in the Cherokee Nation to taketra
oath of allegiance to the Slate, or to leave
die Indian territory within h r charter'd
limits, under severe penalties. (This was
refused by some persons, ttnd among oilier;
by S. A. Worcester, a Missionary, belong
ing to ihe American Board of Missions,
and Dt. Butler, a physician. They weie
arrested, tried, convicted and sentenri-ii,
under the laws of Georgia to imprison
ment in the Penitentiary. At the gate ot
the Penitentiary pardon was tendered to
!u-m upon coiidi!i"ii that they should re
tered within her limits to awe hor into ist hut little differciice jjdfweeu them as
regards the duties on protected articles.
Each has its advocates among the tariff
and anti-tariff men. Aud tho Bill of 1832
has been s*> artfully drawn us to make i
extremely difficult to determine which is
the oest. On one side we have George
M. Troup, the champion of State Rights,
and on the other, John Forsyth, who has
opposed m “ceaseless and uncompromising
resistance” to the system, and who is ul-
ways “ ready for trial” when flio rights
of Georgia arc invaded. Thorn certainly
is no dideience between them in principle.
The piotective principle is fully and am
ply recognized in both. What said the
tariff lenders in the Senate and more par
ticularly Mr Clay! “It contained a clear,
distinct, and indisputable admission of tho
great principle of protection.” “It con
secrated the principle of protection, and
that, loo, after the'pay ment of tho public
debt.” “Tho principle of protection, be
ing thus sanctioned, when tho nation was
out of debt, furnished well-grounded hopes
that it would bo adhered to: und if, here
after, it should he found lhat the protec
tion in any branch of domestic industry
ions inadequate, tho great principle of
protection, will carry us out to afford fur
ther aid to it.”
If Mr. Clay has spoken tho tAtuiinienis
of tho tariff majority in Congress, (and I
believe he has) the painful conclusion is
forced upon us, that we can have “no rea
sonable hope of redress from Congress.”
Wo have now to enquire whether
Gemgia ought to submit, to the operation
of this act,not quietly,hot sullenly aud with
slavish compiu.iiings,- or whether she
ought to resist nl aud whether this is tiij!
proper time!
It is acknowledged by all that the pub
lic debt will he paid off by tho 3d day of
March next, when this act is to go into
operation, and according to every calcu
lation a large revenue must bn collected
under it, over aud above,the ordinary mid
necessary expenses of tho Government:—
anil from whom is this surplus reventio to
he drawn, and for whose benefit! It is ho
inonialv in the history of nations, (Hat any
people should call on the Government to
impose higher taxus on them when those
taxes are burdensome,—yet the people of
the manufacturing secliou of tlui United
Stines, am clamorous for high taxes,
while the people of the Southern Status
have been remonstrating against them.—
This is decisive of tho question that the
taxes uru paid by, and burdensome to,
the latter, and for Ihe benefit of tho form-
c. Ii is equally clear that almost eight
letups of tho taxes are paid by the South
without any corresponding 'benefit—for
tile surplus lias been, and nu doubt will be
goneially distributed among tho northern
and western Stales in Internal Improve-
roeo|s. Istliis right, or is it wrong! Ami
if wrong, ought the South longer to sub-
iui' to ill
Tho excuse which bus heretofore been
urged for n continuance of high duties,
s the payment of tho public debt. That
of Georgia, and this was refused. A; their
instance, writs of error, were sued oui, to
take the cause to the Supreme Court of
the United States. That court decided
that tho Intercourse law was const itmion-
al—lhat Worcester the Missionary had a
right to remain there—that 'he Cherokoo
Nation was quasi sovereign and indepen
dent, and lhat tho law ot Georgia under
which those persons wore tried and sen
tenced, was iincuns'itotional and void; and
ordered (ho Superior Court of Gwinnett
County to revttrso its decision and set tho
prisoneis free. Acting* under llie princi
ples of '98, the Judge (Judge Dougherty)
refused obedience to the iilnirJaie, and
ho has been, and will he sustained by all
Georgia. Onlhul question all local par
ties will he laid aside, and the people of
Georgia with one heart, with one tniud,
and wiili one voice, will raise the t y of
resistance—which echoing from the Sa-
reign capacity, it-follows of necessity that j vanttah to the Chatlahoocltie, wdl rever-
thoro can be no tribunal above their an-! berate among Iter t ••.nntains, aud not he
thority, and consequently lhat as the par• * lost in the tumultuous billows of her South-
iies to it, they must themselves decide in | cm boundary.---But if u “still small voice.”
the last rusbrt, such questions as may ho should be raised among us, in favor of the
of sufficient magnitude to justify their in- ! power of Congress and the Supreme
tei position. f Court, I will not do you the injustice to
Now I cannot see tiny difference he- j believe it will be yours.
Iwoen the principles embodied in this re- j There is yet another case, aud i have
ntoVp cr TaKe'llio oath rrt OT7IV tltn laws lietug now token- -wwny, the nroteciive
solution with Mr. Madison's exposition of
it, and those contained in my first propo
sition.
The same construction lias been given to
that resolution by tho constituted authori
ties and pcoplo of Georgia more than
done. The State of Georgia has passed
a law diiocting the Cherokee lands within
her limiisi') be surveyed and distributed
by lottery among her people.
The surveys have been made, the
Commissioners of thu Lottery are now at
once, and thny havo practical commrnts 1 Milledgeville prepaiiug the tickets, and
upon it, in which they havo boon fully 1 ' 1 '" 1 " J ~ n u ~
sustained by those principles.
Bv the contract of 1802 (commonly
called the treaty of cession) between tho
United Slates and the State of Georgia,
this fall the lottery will be drawn.—The
principles of’98 must be carried out, aud
the people, of Georgia must act firmly,
when action is necessary, or we most be
prepared to give up those lands and wait
the United States hound themselves to Till 'he Sovereign Ciikrokeb Nation is
extinguish tho Indian title to all tho lands disposed to cede them,
jwithin tho limits of this State. As I do not believe there can lie a
15v the treaty at the Indian Springs in ; difference of opinion as respects the first
1825, tho title of tho Creek Indians to | part of my second proposition, I pass on
all the lands-within tho Sfato of Georgia j to the latter part of it and to the third,
was extinguished. Tho indiarts becoming It is my opinion “ilia! we have no
dissatisfied, proposed and did mako nno- reasonable hope ot redress from Con
tiler treaty, by which a new, linn was i- \ gross," and “ that as all the revenue in-
groed upon, and apart of tho land which tended to ho applied to tho payment of
had already been ceded was to ho taken
from the Stato of Georgia, and the title
which had boonjextinguished, agaiu qest-
ed in the Indians.
Georgia remonstrated against this se
cond treaty (commonly callod the new
treaty) asserted her absolute title to all the
Creek lands within her limits, and de
clared that by the Constitution the United
States had not the right to deprive Geor
gia without her consent, of any lands with
in those limits.—And sho also declared Iter
determination to survey and gram them.
Sho w .a then threatened with the arms of
the United Slates, and her troops were
l lie public debt, will be collocted under
the act of 1828, tho time lias arrived,
and the occasion has ptosmiled itself,which
imperiously demand of the State to take
the rgdress into hur own hands, aud to
exercise the high prerogative right ol re
sisting the operation of that act within her
own limits by all the means within her
control; and that a different Course must
necessarily destroy all the limitations of
the Constitution, and result in uncondi
tional submission to a monied or manufac
tur tle aristocracy.”
I w ill not lo re inquire »heilier the act of
1828, or that of 1832 bo most oppressive
actually patched iuto tbe State, attdquar- | to tho people ot the South—tber& cun ex*
orineiplfl has been openly nod boldly
avowed, and upon the passage of the act
was warmly, zealously nod successfully
urgod. This then is the crisis, and it is
now demanded of us, and we must an
swer: Will you submit to this principle
of legislation, or will you not? We can
not dolay the answer. If wo submit now,
wo cannot heroaftcr open our mouths a-
gainst it, or wo may properly he told:—
Whin the act passed, the protective prin
ciple was nvowed by its advocates, and
you were then told it would ho continued,
and “ if any branch of domestic industry
should lie found to ho inadequately pro
tected, the great principle will ho carried
out and relief afforded.’1* You submitted
to it then. True, it was with murmurs
and complaints—hut you submitted, and
you cannot now do more—you may
complain as much as you ploase, hut «t-
Will laugh ol your unavailing complaints,
We have no alternative—wo must ucl now
or forever after hold our peace.
Is the occasion ouo which demands such
iiction? I have not enquired iuto the it-
mount which has been imposed on us—
Heavy os it is, that is a matter of little
moment. But, if I were to do so, ii could
easily ho shown to be much greater than
tho duty of three pence on fen, which gave
thu first impulse to the Revolutionary hall,
which rolled on to the independence of
these Untied States. It is tite principle
which I deprecate, and which Georgia
ought to resist, if she resist at all. Before
the lea was cast into the harbor at Boston,
our fathers had petitioned, remonstrated,
protested for yoars. \Ve havo dono the
same. When they found petitions, re
monstrances and protests unavailing, they
acted—and we should be recreant to their
principles, and unworthy to hear the names
of freemen and Americans, if we hesitate
longer.
But how are we to net?
“It is my opinion, more effectually to
accomplish this object, the people of tile
different counties ought to elect Delegates
to represent them in tho Convention to
bo held at this place (Milledgeville) and
determine on the measures most proper
to be adopted."
I cununt add strength to. this sugges
tion—I am- not one of those, and I am
sure you are not—who believe that the
people are not to he trusted with their
own business—that they are not compe
tent to determine and able to decide what
is best for their own interest. I believe
they are'. I am satisfied they are ready
to suffer and will suffer while tho evils are
sufferable, und when tho evils of the exist
ing government become tusufforahle t he v
will throw off that government, form a
new government in its stead and transmit
to their childten tho inheritance of free
dom.
1 believe it is the right, and that it is the
bounden iuty-of (he people of'Georgia,
to meet in Convention and to determine on
the inode ami measure of redress for them
selves and liner children.
Nor am I without high authority for this
opinion. Mr. Jefferson in reply to the
author of u Itook printed at Boston in
1821 says: “you seem to think that the
Judges (of tlie Supreme Court) arethe nl-
timale arbiters of all Constitutional
questions; this is a very dangerous dor-
trine indeed, and one which would place
us under the despotism of an oligarchy,"
And oi Ins letter to Judge Johnson ho says:
“that the ultimate arbiter is the people
acting by their deputies in Convention.”
And what are ihe people to do when as
sembled by their deputies in Convention?
Whatever they may deem best calculated
to redress the grievances,and remove tho
burdens under which we labor. If my
itamo wero before the people of the coun
ty to represent them in tin: Convention, I
would not hesitate to moke known the
course 1 would recommend: Imt I have
not Hml will not arrogate to myself the
right to. dictate what courso the Conven
tion ought to pursue. Tile members
will come from all sections ol the State,
and will bring together the wishes and
feelings of the petiole. And as one of tile
people I am prepared to go heart aud
hand with the courso thny shall adopt:
tinder the full confidence lhat they will
select the means best calculated to pro
mote the interest, and preserve the tights
of tho State.
If these principles nnd this course are
based on the Virginia Restdutious, ttn-J tho
opinions of Jefferson, and Madison,! must
stand acquitted hy all democratic republi
cans—but if on tho Carolina decitiue
of Nullification, then I stand convicted by
my own confession before the people of
Georgia. But if 1 have understood that
doctrine tightly there is a wide difi'eronce
between us. It is contended by them
that tlte State may pass a law docl uing an
act of Congress unconstitutional and giv
ing to the importer an nctioii 'against the
collector for seizing bis goods—tad that
all their Judges ami other officers are
bound by it till the General Government
invoke the opinion of tho Slates, and il
three fintiths of the States decide the act
of Congtess to be Constitution'll, the Stole
must he bound by it. To It is mode of
redress, I object. 1st. Because such a
law passed by a Slate, would be entirely
useless and inoperative. If tlte net of
Congress ho unconstitutional the law of
tho State does Hot. make it so. I f it lit
constitutional, t|iu State law cannot make
i' ur (ton slit utianal. I fan action is brought
under the State Jaw, the act of Congress
must be judged hy itself and by the terms
of the Constitution, nnd not hy tho law of
any Stato. Aud. why? Three fourths ot
the Stales cannot make any decision on
i'.By act of Congress which would have a
legal force and obligation. Not even tweti-
ty-tlueo out of the twenty-four Stales
could do it. When two thirds of Con
gress recommend it, and three fourths ns
soul, an Hineitdinenf may he made to the
Constitution. But this must only act
prospectively, aud cannot operate retro
spectively.
One word as regards myself. You have
charged mo with inconsistency, for being a
contlidalt! for Congress, while I believe we
have nu reasonable hope uf redress front
them. This is not done with your usual
etimlor, nnd I think on irfieriiun you wdl
tlo me justice. My name was not pre
sented hy myself to the people of Geor
gia. And while 1 believe ive have no rea
sonable hope ef redress front Congress in
this mailer, I .‘..ay jut beliuve Georgia
lias other rights nnd interests before Con
gress which mgy require the munition of
her Representatives. But otic thing i
can assure you, atm, through yoo, the peo
ple of Georgia, if they havo determined
to submit to the tariff acts—to the arbi
trary dictation of an interested majority—
if they have determined to sit (Town quietly
or complainingly, and rivet tho chains up
on themselves aud transmit this badge of
slavery to llitnr children, I do not desire
to bn selected among those Representa
tives, who shall he charged with this duty.
If such he their determination I should
consider a private siation tho post of ho
nor. I am, Gentlemen,
