There <!6t» not appear any teaaon why die ed

for human nilure is good for .them. They are a

affairs, they aught to be fit help* hi nlan. The
preposterous absurdities of chivelroua time* alill
exert ti wretched influence over the character and
tho allotmeut of women. Men are not jKilite but
gallant': they dtr not act t * arda womuu ns to
beings of kindredhabits and character, as to be
ings-who,'like the other portion of mankind, rca-
- son, reflect and judge, but aato beings who please
and whom meu are bound to please. Essentially
thcre is no kindness, no politeness, in this ; but
selfishness and insolence, lie i* the uuiu of po
liteness-who evinces his respect for the female
mind, llo is the mast of? insolence who tacitly
says, when he enter, into the society of.women,

No Govern meat is perhaps reducible to a sole
principle of operation. Where tho theory n)i-
proechcs nearest to this-character, ditieront aod
often heterogeneous principles minglctlicir influ

ment., anti -tor characterize them by the spirit
which predominate, in each,
Montesquieu bus resolved, the great-operative
principles of government into fenr, honour, and
virtuc.'npnlying the first to pure despotism., the
second to regular monarchies, nnd the third to re
publics. Flie. portion of truth blended with the
ingenuity of this system, sufficiently justifies the
admiration bestowed on it. author, * Its accuracy
however* can tiever he ilt fcmU-ri ogainsi the criii-
cisins wliich it lias encountered. Montesquieu

enslaved opinions and pointed the way to those
Inminims truths, of which lie hud hut a glimpse

May not governments bo properly divided, ac
cording to their prodmiiiimni spirit tind principles,
into three species, of wliich the following aro ex
ample* ! ■
Pint-' A government operating by n perma
nent military force, which nt once maintains the
government, and in mriiiilniiicd by it; wliich is at
once tho enuso of burdens tut tho people, and of
submission in tho people to their burdens. Such
have been the governments nhtler which human
nature lias groaned through every age. Such arc
the governments which rijqir.s* it in ulmtwi every
country OfEuftJie, thcqiiiirtcrnf the gbibo which
calls itscifihe pattern uf civilization, und the pride
of hiimnniiy,
, Secondly. A government'operating by corrupt
influence, substituting the mutivp uf private inter-
at in jilnce of puhlic duly, converting its pccbui?
nry dispensation* into bounties to favorites, or
bribes toonponcnls j accomniodiifing its measures
to the avidity if apart of tho nation, inotend of
the oeuefit of the whole fltfs word toileting an nr-
mil of iitlcrcstcd parlizans, whole tanguce, whole
petie, whose intrigue/, and whole active combina
tion, by supplying the terror of the sword, may
support n real domination of the few,'under an oil-
part nt liberty of the many. Such n government

We will attempt an argument from analogy
and wo will draw our illustrations from the life of
Virginia l'lamcr*. Thirteen l'laiitcrs, of small
fortune, or perhaps we should rather say For
tners; lived in the vicinity of each'oilier, in the
tide water country. Each one, though , not rich,
independent. He had his own Itousc, fields,

Stoat ’persons thought that the "old man qras un
necessarily cautiniis; for it was not tirogmed then
by people generally that the Flantalioa Company
would attempt to encroach on .tlin< domestic sove
reignly of die farmers who had constituted that
company. The uhl gentleman's conditions there
fore, though thought unnecessary, were readily a-
grecd to. ■ .W,
Now, it is turned out that (hio Plantation Com-,
pnny became a very important company.' They
erected n splendid Mansion house, and'soon. began
to draw the attention of people abroad as a weal
thy nnd powerful establishment. Soriio nf the
thirteen Farmers became so much engrossed with
the nflirirs of the company, and wijh ilk riches, its

A Common Umi'Ik*.—Ex-President Adams in*
hi* Report to Congress of 28th Eehrasry, 1833
ion the part sfllte minority oftbe oonimitiec oC
manufactures, employed the following language.
" It must especially not be fnrgoten that among
the' implied, necesssarily implied powers, claimed
by this (the . South Carolina) Cortvegtiun, is that
of enacting laws for the United Slates—laws par
amount to the Constitution of the United States.
To repeal a law is to enact a law—to nullify a
law is an act of most - transcendant authority.—
The power competent to repeal is competent to'
enact a law. To nullify a law is an act of supe
rior paramount qttthority,” •*
If the convention of South Carolina had claim
ed lire right of .nullifying.a law of the United
States, the reasoning of the Ex-President, would
have had same soundness iu it. Bat it did no
such thing—It merely claimed the right of declar
ing null and void, and inoperative within the
limits oftlto Slate', on act of Congress wliich it be
lieved to bo unconstitutional, and consequently
no luxe. That unconstitutional laws are not bind
ing upon any State or individnal, is known to eve
ry ouc, and the position has been .-affirmed over
and over again by the most eminentjurists. Or,
had South Carolina declared noli and void in all
the other States, aa art believed by each other
Stiles tn be obligatory, she would have been guil
ty,of great presumption, and would thus have ar
rogated to hcrselfi the right of “ creating lawa fur
the United States.” . Thnt sho is. chargeable with
no such silly proceeding, sho simply! decrared the
nullified act inoperative within her own limits! lea-.
.ving to all the other Stales, the liberty of acting
ns they pleased in tiie premises.
The reasoning, therefore, of Mr. Adam* is built
upon false premises, consequently:*!) his deduc
tions must bo erroneous. We apprehended, that
if it had been Into, that sontli Carolina had claim
ed the right to nullify a law of •ongress within her
own limits, as Mri Adams asserts, she would have
found no countenance for such an unjustifiable act
out of her own limits. Wo cannot evon persuade
ourselves that such-air uu warrantable position
could eror have been ndvocated by any of. her
own intelligent citizens. And on Ihe other hand,
we think we have a right to say, supposingtho.nul
lified act had been clearly admitted to have boon
unconstitutional that few persbns, would have
been condemned fbr refusing obedience to it, al-
thougn a diflerent mode of proceeding might hayo
been recommended.
Thoso who maintain the old republican doc-
trine, that no tribunal exists by tho. Constilntion
for’ settling cases of disputed power between a state
and the federal government, iqust of necessity ad
mit the right of Stnto fnlorposition or action; in
eomo mode or other, for the protection of her chi-
zons. Without such'right, sho would beat tho
mercy of tfio stronger party, and would imvo no
more remedy against oppression'than a lamb
would against a wolf. What that right may be,
i* not for us to determine. It is Apart of the re
publican creed; as laid down by Jefferson,' that
each State has tho right to judge fin- herself of tlW
mode and manner of redress. Let ns snppose a
State should choose nullification as her remedy,
what is the danger to be apprehended from it ?—
It is this, that if a'State r l? to judgo fur herself
whether a law bo uncopititutional or not, sho may
be liubla to malio mistakes,' and toi declare ntill
and void n law clearly'cqnsdtutioiial.' It iit ad
mitted that there is dagger in ihls, and ifa conven
tion wore now in eossiun to frame a new Constitu
tion for the confederacy, it would be a subject wor
thy'of 1 examination how for this danger could-be
avoided. Tho pconlo of tho United Stales, how
ever, nro"not at this time called upon'lo decide
wiiat provision ought to be .in a constitution to
make it freo from danger,'but what provisions the
existing constitution floes nol actually contain, mil
how we could mondtlie compact, but how it stands
as made. This is true question bofore us, and of
this wo ought not t6 lose sight,
But.suppftso'a’new Constitution were now to be
framed, .and the proposition wore distinclly. jqaijje
to establish a common umpire, to settle cases hf
disputed power, would it be advisable to establish
snch an umpire 7 We think not. We are cloar-
ly of npiniou that no'branch of tho Federal .gtw-
ernmont, could be entrusted with such a power,
without nttetly annihilatingtho rights of tho states.
It would not bo safe to confide it to a majority, of
the stales, or otherwise a new interpretation to the
same article would be given nt every clraego in
IN S.feNA’FE, February 2.—Mr.- Calhoun
rose, and requested the Secretary to read n para
graph from a newspaper which ire 'sent to the ta-
>1«. The Secretary then retd from'the .Globe of
Saiurdny the following paragraph:
“Whether Lawrence has caught, in his visit to.
tlic Capitol, the mania which has prevailed du
ring tire tiro last session's ia the Senate—whether
he has become intonated with the chimeras which
have troubled the brains of the dieappninted and
ambitions orators who have depicted the President
as a Ctesar who ought to have a Brutus-vas .a
.Cromwell—a Nero—a Tiberias, we know not.—
Ifmo secret conspiracy has prompted the perpe
tration of the horrid deed, we think it hot improba
ble that some delusion of intellect-hag grown out
of his visits to the Capitol,- and that hearing des
potism and every horrible mischief threatened to
the Republic, and revolution and all ita train of
calamities imputed as ‘the uecessary consequence

infatuated man fancted he had ressnas to become

Mr. Calhoun rose to make a few remarks, not

hand, and tlte Company ou the other, wore most
dintinelly brought into discussion. Mr.Tinckncy
lmd said something about calculating jibe value
oftlto partnership, 'litis wns an unguarded ex
pression, and ought not to have been made. He
.was bitterly reproached for rising such language.—
was asked' of what importattep were tire obscure
Fanners before the planting combination. He
wns told nf tlio importance they hjtul acquired by
the United cflarts of the compauy. Before; tlroir
neighbors looked down upon lliem ns unwurfiiy'

partnership, & was told that tiro evil would be in-
cnlcnluble, l’iheknoy acknowledge lire advantages
of tlio partnership, nud protested ttint.lio had no
wish to break it up; butnciilrcr was he willing to
give up nny of his'own rights. Ilq. said that the
company hud no more right to encroach on his
reserved ground than ouy of his neighbors had
will) whom Ito nnd no connexion. He.would
bear with more from thorn, to be sure, for ho was
anxious to preserve a good understanding, lest the
permanency of tlte partnership should be endan
gered, brit whenover the company, went beyond
the articles of agreement and encroached on his
reserved grounds, they niondas to inaltCrof right,
on lire same fooling usn stronger, and lie had the

told tlmt tho majority of the fqrnren wero against

agreed that the cnnt|>aiiy should inqk c 'he articles

thirteen Farmers should, iu oil .questions of

tlmt was to bo binding. Some odd him that a
particular division of the company Imd the right
to judge whether tho company exceeded their

judgement, because it would ho making die com
pany the judge, bv n portion nf themselves, in

This purtiun of the company was only, the Court
of flic company to. decide ou company husinet*,
hut wus never allowed to determin, in such n way
ns would Lind tho Furmers, whether ihe company
itself had exceeded it# powers; Mr. lb" did nut

cncroathmdnts on Mr Pinckney's reserved ground;
but lh($! passed nt tho same time a deejaratnry
resolution that they had. a right to dctcruiino tlio

The term ” National.—Tho. most danger
ous term, tliar rair lie employed in American pol

of our institutions. Many persons who believe
in the Sovereignly of the Stales use the 'expres
sion sometimes without.reflecting upon its import,
tiro national bank," ” the national judiciary,”
the national govornincnl.” Now in point of
fact, there are- no such instil ntirtns. The govern
ment wliich is administered at the Federal City,
as it used io be called; ‘ the Federal Government;’
tho Supremo Court of vririch John Marshall is
Chief Justice, is " the Federal Jodiciaryf’.and
the Bank of which N. Biddlo is President, is." a
Federal Bank.” Wo caution all tho frionds of

nature and character of the government under

by the friends ofcensolidatien, to ostabUsh “ a,na

Examiner.
which bad just been read to the Senate. 'There,
were some things, wliich, taken in themselves,
were of so. little importance ns not to be entitled to
notice, but which, standing in connexion wth oth
er matters, were frequently of great importance,
and domandcd attention. Whatever might be tho
character of the paper (tho Globe) from which
the paragraph just rcaJ had been taken, however
low, however degraded its character might be, it
was yet kuown to be the organ oftbe Executive
Will, and that H wus sustained, pampered by, and
dependent upon, that branch of the Government
and in commentingon a paragraph like the pre
sent, in which the Executive was personally con
cerned, it : was not an onlnir presumption id con
clude that it had his sanction; had been authorized
by him. . To pass over the personal .insinuations,
which, as he bad observed, were unworthy of no
tice, he (Mr. C.) would say a few words' on the
new political principle set forth in the paragraph.
It was impossible to read tire article, and not see
that it: went on the ground, that whosoever con
demns what he believes conscientiously to be the
abuses and corruptions of this Government, was to
bo held up in tile light of an instigator of assassi
nation; and that no uncertainty on this point might
be left on the mind of the reader, the article reto
rt'd to a particular transaction in which ho (Mr,
C.) was personally concerned. . He would not
condescend to defend himself ia relation to the
mutters concerned in tire paragraph that had been
read; they needed * no defence. What were tire
fact* 7 The Senate were in debate on.the Post
Office reports. The Post Office, it was acknowl
edged, on all hands, stood convicted of enormous
abuse*, not to say corruptions. He had risen, iri
his place, to comment generally on the abuses
thus exhibited; be had made nu personal 'allusions
whatsoovor. He spoke of tiro corruptions of the
times and of them mainly; though this he did say,
that the evil was not so mneh to be atuibuted to
any defect in tho working of the machinery as in
the administration itself. Yet these general denun
ciations, in these broad terms, are nsserted by the
Government Official hero, as warja.uing an indi
vidual to make this attempt at nssassiaalioa. '
Could be have wantonly suid that which would
have authorized assassination, he would be little
better than ail assqssin. What 7 to hold up abu
se* to instigate assassination ! To whnt was the
authority of this Body reduced 7 Or attempted to
be reduced 7 According to tire new doctrines,
the Sena'te was to iook'silently on when these cor-
rupiiunsnnd.abuses were passing beneath their
cj>os, because, forsooth* they might ultimately be
called on to express their ^opinions in their judicial
character; ■ , •
This body, then, dare not express opiuions, and,
if they do express them, they may bn called oa to
expunge their recorded sentiment* from the Jour-
nul of tho Senate. Then, what next. No indi-
vidnal Senator is to be- permitted to express any
opinion as to a particular individual, lest he lie
held rip to the world as the instigator of assassin;
alien!. General denunciations of misconduct,
corruptions or abuses, were to be held up as indi
cating assassination ! Could they mistake the
tondency of this 7 Did they not see dearly as
the iigln uf Heaven, the march to irresponsible
power 7 . Did it not cOaftrin what he (Mr. C.) ob
served but the other day, that a stage had been
reached in our political aQ'airs that must result in
rethrmation or revolution 7 ’ He saw around him,
in the ranks of the Administration, many old
friends and acquaintances, whoso patriotism and
wlroso attachment to the institutions of their coun
try, could not be mistaken. He asked them to
look, to see wliut we are come tn, to see what wus
flic melancholy result of this state of things. Tlte
degradation of parties, and the consequent growlh
of an irresponsible power. He understood die
crisis lo which the country had arrived. He knew
the danger lo be incurred by exposing abuses ex
isting in the Executive brand] nf the Government.
He asked no favors—-ho was no candidate. He
desired no office. He would sav, 'us an honest
conscientious man, who loved the. institutions of
liis country, that he would da his duty in spile of
menace, come from what quarter it would, or in
spile of fate.

THE HOG
A correspondent.'of the Portland Advertiser,
gives the renders of that pnpor the subjoined stato-
mont, relative to the staple business of Cincinnati,
from which city lie writes.
“ The pork packers are driving thoir business,
as Crocket would say, to' “ alt kill." The busi
ness is prosecuted here, on a larger scale, than at
nay point in the known world. Last year, 123,060
hogs were slaughtered ! The slaughtering and
pgeking are commenced in November, (generally
the latter part) and closed in February—mo whole
business lasting but about three months. Atone
slaughtering establishment on the eastern fuhhorg,
three thousaad hogs havebecn killed,qlresscd,'and
hung up, in one day. say twelvo hours, Thero
aro. lour houses -at this esteblishmeht, and about
300 men employed daily. The proprietor, Mr.
John W. Coleman, informs me, that they now
slaughter, scald, scrape dross, and hang up, aa
average of twenty two hundred bogs pet day, am!
with the present short'days, can -id ton or el
even hours—say about five hundred nnd fifty hog*
at each house.' At the packing houses, to which
flic hogs are sent after becoming Cool; they goner
ally employ about thirty mCn at each house, wt a
can cut up, and pack, ready. for shipment, two
hundred and fifty barrels of pork per day, and.
draw about three tliousaud kegs, or 13;200 pounds
of lard ! • Tho bacon cured try our uporkers,’’ is
superiqr tu any other in.lhe Union. The business of
slaughtering hogs i* brought to such perfection,
that it lake# but one minute to knock down the hog
bleed, scald, scrape and dress him completely.—
One man can remove the offul from the inside of
the animal, and completely dress hint In twenty
seconds, or three; in one minute. This to a nor
them man, tnuy appear to be something of tlio
marvellous, hat I assure you it is strictly true,
without tho least exaggeration. I have, myself,
frequently witnessed ilio operations So many
hogs are now •• being" packed, at flic packing
houses (and these are about thirty in number) that
all Ate sparoribs and feet, (thought by some lo be
'-Si*?* P nrt8 °f 'lia bog)are given away, aud they
will thank any one to take Atom, free gratis.—
I hey, howovor, accumulate faster than tljey are
removed, so lliut they are cprupcUctl frequently to -
throw them into the Ohio, or bury them.—Clear
