From the United Stairs G art tic.
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
TO THE FEOPIX OK PEN N .SI I.VAMA.
Fell vs Citizens —We sire toll by
thi advocates for Stale Right*, th:
unless we resist the encroachments
of the general government, that th
state sovereignties will be merged
into one consolidated body. We
should treat this as a mere phatb m
of the imagination, if we dm nut
know that it was a finuessc, r girted
to by artful politicians, to promote
their own ambitious view-.
The consequences, however,which
may result from the promulgation
of such doctrines, are sufficient to
alarm every friend of tho Constitu
tion.
Resolutions were recently passed
by the legislature of Virginia, deny
ing the right of the general govern*
meat to make internal improvements
or to lay any duty upon foreign mer
chandise, for the purpose of protect
ing the national industry oi the o 11-
try. At the same time when these
resolutions passed, the following re
solution was offered :
Resolved, That the Legislature
of Virginia will sustain the .-general
government in the exercise of its le
gitimate powers.”
This resolution passed—Yeas 12
—Nays TEN !
- Yes, f llcw-citizens. ten Senators
of the legislature of Virginia, during
a time of profound peace and tran
quility, voted that they would not j
support the general government, in
the exercise of its constitutional au
thority !■!
When we recollect that several
others of the southern states have
passed resolutions denying the right
of the general government to exer
. cise powers evidently delegated by
the Constitution. When we refl -ct
upon the conduct of the executive
government of Georgia, in resisting
the execution of a treaty with the
Oreqk Indians—a treaty w: ich had
been const tut' >nally ratified by the
President and two-thirds of the Se
nate of the United States, and had
thereby become the supreme law of
the land—a treaty, by which the
honor and good faith of this nation
were solemnly pledged to these
Children of the Forest, that they
should lie protected in the enjoy
ment of their lawful rights. When
wo reflect upon these circumstances,
we cannot but consider that the Con
stitution is in danger—not from the
general government, hut from th
unfounded pretensions of State au
thorities.
What sort of a national govern
ment these advocates for State Rights
desire, we are not aware: hut as
they wish the states to retai l all the
fiyhta of sovereignty, I lie general
government would be but a shadow ,
like our confederation, wholly ineffi
cient, both in war and in peace
The utter incomnetency of such
,a government is well described in a
letter* Irom General Washington to
a 'friend, dated October, 1785, in
which he says : —“ The war, as you
have very justly observed, has ter
minated most advantageously for
America, fair field is presented
toourvi w; but I confess to you
freely, my dear sir, that 1 do not
thi k that we possess wisdom or
justice enough to cultivate it pro
perly.
“ Illiberality, jealousy, and local
policy, mix too much in all our pub
lic councils, for the good govern
ment --f the Union—ln a word, the
confederation appears to me to be
little more than a shadow, without
the substance ; and the Congress a
nug-lory body, their ordinances be
ing little attended to.
“To me it is a solecism in poli
tics ; ***** Indeed one of the most
extraordinary thing- in nature, that
we should confederate as a nation,
and yet be afraid to give to the rulers
of that nation, who are the creatures
of our own making, and appointed
for a limited and short duration, suf
ficient power to order and dcect the
affairs ofthe same.
11 From the high ground upon
which we stood, we are descending
into the vale of confusion and dark
ness.”
Such, fellow-citizens, was the de
plorable condition of our country, as
described by Washington himself,
and from which v.e were rescued by
adopting our present happy Consti
tution. And shall we now contribute
to elevate those into power, who
avow their hostility to it ?
* No, fellow-citizens, we are con
vinced that you will not; hut that
you will give your support to these
who reverence that Constitution, &
who now administer it, with so much
credit to tliupn-elves and honor to
our country.

From Niles' Register.
OC?* It has been intimated to us,
from several quarters, that our es
say “ on agriculture ot tim United
States,” inserted in the R*istcr of
the 24th uli was about to be publish
ed in pamphlet form. It would beafi
affection to say that we are not plcas
cdwvith compliments like this. The
C: vay has, also, long as it s, been
copied into many newspapers.
We have just received orders fr* n
North Carolina for 500 numbers to
I hf- Recistfr which contains th. i
ess.iv or -*o inn tv copies of >f pub*
fished in'pamphlets. The first cm
no) be furnished, but tne last sh i
he supplied ; and, as the chief c
will be in setting-up the type, we a.
willing to receive other orders, th .
it he rate of cost per copy may -e re
duced. We shall therefore, del*'
the execution of this order for tw»
or three weeks, to afford time h»
others. The essay will fill a whil<
-beet of medium, or common-sized
paper, printed on the typo usually
employed in tiiis paper, and a few
additional facts shall bo introduced
j If 1000 copies arc printed, they wifi
jeost nearly three cent.' each If
i 2000, not two cents, and less for a
| greater number. We shall charge
i-nly the actual expenses incurred tor
paper and print ; and gentlemen will,
lie supplied with as many copies as
the money which they forward shall
entitle them to receive, a th rate
to be established by the number
printed. They may he sent by
mail, or will be forwarded as dired
ed.
[Since the preceding wis written
we have received the “ Wheeling
Gazette” ofthe 21st imt. w hich con
tains a part of the essay alluded to
and i nclosed a copy thereof, publish
ed in pamphlet form, endorsed “ E !
2,600” —meaning that an edition ot
2,600 copies has been printed at that
place. The title of this pamphlet
is, ‘ The Agriculture of the United
States, by li Nile'.” We believe
that another edition has been printed
in N. York or further east J
We have often asserted that y
great change was going on in tin
south, in regard to the poljcy of en
couraging domestic manufactures
we have expressed our belief that
the time would come and speedily
(if it even has not already arrived,)
when the tariff would more benefit
the cotton growers than the cotton
spinners —we have ventured anopin
ion, that our southern fellow citizen
would receive instruction from ex
perience,*as our eastern brethren
have received it. The latter were,
a very short time since, nearly a
much opposed to a protect ive tariil
as the former. The one thought il
would injure the commercial inter
est, the cthei that it would ruin the
planting. The one has seen tin i
it increased th commerce of the 1
States, and has completely changed
sides —the other is beginning to s ■
that it mightily increases the profit
ofthe planters of the United States
and they will, also, be friends of th<
“ American system” Os this w
d-> not ent- rtain the slightest doubt
We verily believe that cotton would
hear at least one cent lets per pound, a*
present, than it obtains, except for
the domestic manufacture of the nr
tide Calculate this on the who!
quantify produced, and put it flow,
as affecting the present price of this
great staple of the south !
Under these circumstances, wo
have thought that the letter from
the gentleman of North Carolina
might be published though it con
tains such a fluttering compliment to
ourselves—the itnin diate place o'
his residence, with lus name, beini
Withheld, because the letter is a pri
vate one. It will he acceptable t
the friends of domestic industry an
internal improvement, and, perhap-.
furnish some hints that may be gen

N. Carolina, April 14, 1827.
Friend Niles-—I beg the favour
of you to send me five hundred num
hers, or copies, of your Register, No
4, date March 24th. 1827, without
tho supplement. If you can send
me yonr essay on “ Agriculture. h<
ofthe United States,’ in a pumphl t
form, as cheap, as in said number of
tho R gister, you will please do se.
Without deigning to flatter -you, 1
may say tiiat it is the most important
essay on the true course of policy
which should he pursued by the l .
States, which I have ever 1
wish to give it an extensive circula
tion. H our intelligent gentlemen
of the south will ffkte it an attentivi
perusal, 1 am persuade 1 they will
not hereafter threaten to 'dissolve
the union ofthe state whenever the
word tariff is mentioned Agricul
ture, manufactures, internal improv. -
ments and commerce, are the pillar*
of our national gaeatness and pros
perity.
Whatever president shall foster
and adopt these great interests of tin
republic, shall receive mv vote, and
whatever of influence 1 may possess
among my fellow citizens, it is of
small moment what letters of the al
phabet compose his name—his course
of policy is all important. Must the
fundamental pillars of our prosperity
be thrown down—must millions oi
our fellow citizens be plunged into
inevitable ruin—and the republic re
trogade a ceniuty, to gratify the per
sonal ambition of a few men—who
would rather “ reign in li—l than
serve in heaven ?”
I am, respectfully, your friend.

-liters, how effectually their own
missiles might be repelled against
inerii'clvcs. W have publicly de
clared Col. Campbell to be a candi
hite, and if any doubt our ‘'authors
ly” let them call upon us in a proper
way, and they shall, know it. Mr.
Forsyth has never been announced,
and, as those who have been lore
most in nis behalf, have not thought
proper to reply to the doubts we have
xpressed by declaring that he is a
candidate, wc take it for granted
Inal they have no authority to do so

Here then, it turns out, that all which
has been said in support of this gen
tleman, i> entirely nugatory, as ho
may either avail himself of it or not,
according to his conception of the
prospect before him; anil as it is not
very likely that he will now enter
,uii any very sanguine hopes ofsuc
c-'ss, against so formidable a rival as
Col. Campbell, we think ii # more
am probabel that he will not enter
me lists against him. As we have
idore observed, we fee! no disposi

the public career of Mr. Forsyth,

oppose his pretensions, unless he
nail think proper to urge them ; as.
- do so at tins time, would be an act
o supererogation as futile as the pre

lerefore, reserve the “documents”

become necessary tor us to bung

wo assure the Constitutionalist that,
