Geotgia Legislature, ovflu since his innu-

are not sovereign, but that the Union is

with « denial ol Slate Sovereignty, verbal
as Tit (he dcniul of many, practical as in kbe
case of ull who repudiate State interposi
tion, which It-giiimuies Nullification, is un
deserving of uuy feeling but contempt,.
Secession is Nullification; Afitllificatiun is
secession; if the States aie sovereign, both
uie lawful; and they who acknowledge tbu
sovereignly of the States, while ti* y deny
the one or the' other ol these rights, ure
seeking to make a compromise between
meir consciences and thuir interests. They
admit themselves to be Nullifier* and Se-
eeders, by declaring for the sovereignty el
the individual Stales; their Iqis deny tin

in,his owp jyraony,^,,.
r If t here wusd Senate that operated as a
check,-we sheuld advise him to get, lid of
as much onhis infittenco as possible. As
tltero nro two ways of doing this, one by
open force, and the other by iusidious mis
construction ofthe constitution, we should
advise him to take the latter course because
(lieu the clamor could uni he so effectual
as if the force w ere visible. For example,
under our fornr^pf government he might
effectually assume ell control oftho patron
age of the Government by croating vaenn-
ces nt'his pleasure and filling them only
with his own partisans, Thus lie would do
two things at once, the flirt, ufttli r ying the
Senate, the second, making it the interest
of the nominees to support this Nullifica
tion. ' ,
If Congress as a body cou(rol/ud his in-
fluenco, in some instances bullies might bo
procured to asXnnlrithe most obnoxious und
independent member*.. Thus through fear
ol bodily injury, thnir liberty of speech
would be restrained; But if this did not suf
ficiently operate, and Congrtss persisted in
passing acts nut agreeable these acts {might
beavoided in two ways—the first, by the di
rect veto, when the majority was not two
thirds,—and the seroild. by the silent veto-,
when the majority was two thirds or ever.
Thus no acts could become laws without tho
tic nolo tend the sie jubeo.
The judiciary often sit nds in the way
of unlawful power-.-aiid therefore tho ju
diciary must bo weakened. There are
many ways of getting ritf of this branch of
government. Ono is hy open force, by
rlriv ng the Judges from the benches, which
however, would make so much uproar
hat it ought not to be attempted Ohiy in
extreme cases. Corrupt Judges can be
put opon the bench, but as no vacancy
may htppcn, tJtis j* but a transient resort.
Thu bolter way is to procure partisan pres
ses to assail the Judges-.;to talk ol the tre
mendous power or only seven men—to
speak of Jeffries, dec. See but as all ibis
in ty not do, the Executive may refute to
execute such of tlio decision as ho pleases,
and as decisions wi 1 ! often be obnoxious to
powerful patties the judges can thus be ren
dered contemptible by the feebleness of
their position.
Again, the press should be looked to. It
is a most important engine in n rc-pubiican
government. Now presse* should be cs«
tnhhshed on purpose to support the man to
suy nothing of the principle; Sonia of them
should bn under bontj to sustain just such u
man iu every thing., Things, if possible,
should be so arranged that the people should
move in one mass upon one point. This
was the great secret of Napoleon’s victo
ries—and political victories are to bo won
almost always on the same principle Henco
always insist upon-regular nominations, for
(he mass are thus made tu yield io-lhe few—
and the mass, can thus bo wielded upon one
point. No muttter what tho man, no mut
ter what the means, iosist-upon “the usa
ges,” for tho usages become as precedents,
and when once fixed they become as law,
the law ol custom, the most powerful of all
laws. By so doing, a fete men can control
many men. The active fetv can commend
the inactive many. Power will tbutbe ta
ken from the multitude and concentrated,
and when thus concentrated, it can be easily
corrupted; for it costs but little to corrupt,
a few, whereas it would cost much to cor*
rp|)t all.
During the progress of these things it is
well to unsettle all that is settled, and to
keop things in a perpetual turmoil,—-for
I lies as tilings .changp nnd disorders thicken
it is difficult for the public long to fasten
its attention opon one act. Tho moment
under officers will not yield nil to the chio&
proscribe them. Thus others wiil he taught
tho necessity of obedience, and obstinate,
uneasy *irn will be got rid ok- The Freqplt
commenced their revolution as “architects
of ruin,” as unsolders of all that seemod
settled id politics, or in morals, and ended
in a military despotism—thus holding forth
an example to all imitators.
Undoubtedly all .these proceedings .will
raise a great clamor,—but the office-holders
will support thj causer of I, for there bread
depends upbn so doing. These officers, it
is easily seen, must be an immense army in
a country stretchingjtlirough many degrees
ol latitudes, and their influence will bo
greator than their numbers—for money
when the Treasury is snized by the Execu
tive, will he tddnd to personal power. But
ninny of these clamors tvill^ be avqidcd by
strong professions of ndschmunl to Bio peo
ple, Robespierre cried “ the poor people,”
turd butchered them] day after day. Loud
(lien be the professions of attachment to the
people. All history shows that il it rife
best way to m,slave thorn. They can ofltSq
be derided in tlie persons of lltcir ye prosen*
tatives,—and only unco iu fosr yekrs, can
they ac( of themsolves upon the I’resident
arid iitmt only indirectly.
If, however, during (his clamor, any ono
section of the countr y should become so
exasperated as to undertake extraordinary
measures of defence, let that section be de
nounced let the military be sc/ upou it
—bury for the moment all other plans and
intrigues, so as to fix public indignation a-
lone upon their extraordinary measures.—
And when men become cons|>ici»us in op
posing tyranny, denounce them in tho
strongest apd most vindictive terras. Aye

tv they should transgre-s the bounds efllfe
