Wo copy the following’ desultory remarks from rut Essay in the Cheraw Republican, under the signature of “ American,” To return howevttr to the claimed right i of forcible resistance. It is admitted that in private coulroversie*, and in contro* Yersios between individuals and the go vernment, iba law is tli* aibiter of rights. But it is contended that in a controversy between a state («hat is, between tlie as sociated individuals who compose a state) nnd the federal go\ernmnot, about state sovereignty, the case is different. 11 is con tended tint "thore is no tribunal express ly appointed, with exproxi poweis to de cide such a question among us.” And that therefore, a stale rmvst do, for itself, what the law does for an individual. T his doctrine is true of Completely sovereign nations; as Fiance and Spain; or the United States and Gieat Biitatn. It was true nlso of the sovr.ral slates before the confederation. The application of it to them, in their present staie, i» one «>! the different modifications of an eiior found ed upon a iniscoii3trurtio , i of*' M idi»on’s rnport arid show# how far able and honest men may sometimes be led astray, by the authority of great names. 1 1 sup poses that the wise authors of our Consti tution were so unwise, as to frame a go vernment destitute of the power* feces sarv to carry on its operations. Ii sup poses that while one of the express and prominent objects of the states, in form ing a Common Government, was to 1 in s.i re ti nines fir tranquility" they still loft rnntroveisies, likely to arise under that government, to he decided by the sword. Rut they wore not so weak and shortsight ed. They made ample provision for iho peaceable adjudication «>f all questions which ran arise under the constitution. Although no comroveisy can, perhaps, coos'ituiionalty take place between the slato and feder.tl governments, except through individuals upon whom their laws oporuto ; yet if wo suppose a ruo to be nude out in which the governmeots are the immediate parties ; lor even such a case the coustiiutinn expressly provide*. It pmvidos that “ the judicial power ol tite United Stales (vested m one supitowe court') shall extend to controversies to which the United Slates shall be a par ty." Il nutters not who the other party imy he ; whether a stale, or a privaie in dividual : and i( a stale, it matters, not what the subject of comroveisy may be; whatlinr “ gauds and cha'tUa” ui sovu leisnty. What it soveieignty T—ln monarchies, if is something which we simple republic mis do not to well understand, or rather, winch we do not believe in. It is said to rest with the Emperor, king, Ac. s*ho is ihorefore called the sovereign ; and, accoidiug lu the language of his worship ing patNsiles, it renders him sacied nnd intallih e. 11 raises him uhevo all law, end gives him a natural right to teign over the people mu) rial upon their sub stance. Al his death, it is supposed to p i»*, by i kind of transmigration, gene rally lu bis nest ol kin ; who is reveren ced accordingly without irgml to age, sex or character. Hot we, to this coun try, have no ticli ii dicnloiis, fictitious foolery. We do things it) <i more practi cal, plain, com non sense style. We use the woid • > vet eignty ; because it is a convenient term to express a camples idee. We mesa by it, merely the sim ple power of govemmrut—the power ol inektug end enforcing laws.

They seemed to be of opinion that the objects of their union would be more effectually secured, by ! placing an objecting stato upon an equality * with the others ; rather than by giving I her vise sole power of deciding both for | her and them. | tv A Caictinian” objects to the supreme j court the common tribunal of tlto spates, I as a tribunal to which one of the states 1 should appeal, because il is a “ court not appointed by the people, but by the exe j cutive, and under executive influence, a i court that has no cammon feeling with the | stales, rr with the people.” Ifthecoutt is not appointed by the people it is appointed by llioir represen tatives, which amounts practically to the same tiling. Who in South Carolina, ever objected to carrying his cu*o into our courts, because he had not a doeci vole in appointing the judges 1 The judges of the Supreme Court are ail ap pointed by votes of the states, through their immediate representatives in the senate. The slates could not wish, they could hardiy exorcise, a more diiect voio. ilow is this court under executive influ ence ? Can the executive extend or abridge the emolumruts or privileges of a member of it? To wltom are they in theory and practice accountable? Who are authorized to impeach the judges ? The immediate representatives ol the ; people. Who arc appointed to try the judges when impeached? The immediate representatives of the states. Bat suppose these objections to the court to be vain, they do not call in ques tion its jurisdiction. They do not prove \ that ii would bo lawful to resist is de cree*. They only prove that ibe court ’ ought to ba changed, or that same new j tribunal ought to be erected. If a citizen of S. Carolina fees that i ono of our laws or a part of our c<»nstitu | lion is uuwiso, hi* proper course is not to 1 propose illegal and violent resistance ; j but to enlighten the people and they w ill : effect a change. When even the majo j riiy of the parties to a constitutional cmn ! pact, in tins country, believe their consti tution to be violated by the government, , tbo remedy which they have reserved to ! themselves is not, by turbulent violence to turn thing* up-side down, and Lei t their own officers from the discharge of the duties which they are sworn to por fonii. But at the regular time, they ! chaugo their legislators and other repre sentatives, through iho ballot boxes. And if they deem it necessary, they change lliuir constitution itself. But when a minority believes that a law sustained by iho courts violates the runstituiion and invades their rights ; their legal remedy ! is freedom of speech and lirodous of iho | p ass. Their duty, as faithful citizens, is iio enlighten these from whom they d;ffor, | and n it make war upon them. In what I have said I hail reference ! not to the question, whether the supremo Court is a propor tribunal ta decide ques ! lions of sovereignty between a state and the union ; but to tho question, whether or not it is the constitutional tribunal.— »Nor do I mean that an oppressed state has no right of resistance, except what tho constitution allows. Every Mate has the right of rebellion or revolution which, I the colonies hid under tho British gov ernment. But tins is not a constitution al right. AN AMERICAN.

Which of the two do sou pre fer, iluyno or Webster ? If you prefer neither of them, then please state whom you do prefer. A.

The Declaration of Independence shows how much ra-her the isrc.'.ttf i i*n woold drfh-%.i, for hsp p ttee*, on vueu own aid! and spuak, than : ibe protection and goUottses of a British tyrant. And as to Washington’s Fare well Address, inasmuch as some of the leading politicians of the present day seem a little anxious te bid farewell to it, and banish it from our national councils, we think. Barton and Holmes deserve much approbation for the pertinacious fondness which they recently evinced for it. Q. 5. What is your opinion of Miss Fanny Wright and also, of Mrs. Anne Rovall ? We believe tnat Fanny Wright is not Weight ; but that, nevertheless, she does Write very well, in her way ; that she is, wi haul doubt, one of the most notorious , if not the greatest, of modern she-male lectureis, Hubert Owen not excepted ; and that she would do something if she could Mrs. Royall is an odd fish ; we think there is very little of any thing a bout her that is royal, other than her name, and her sovereign contempt for that modesty which is the loveliest quali ty of hor sex ; and, if encouraged in the con'inuity of her ‘lllark Hook,' she will impart no vory bright feature to the A merican li'erary character. Q. G. Do you, or do you not, believe in the existence of the Sea Serpent? If yea, please state the reasons of your be lief? A. We do believe that the Sea Sarpenl exists—in the imaginations of many. Our reason for such belief, is, the knowledge of the fact that this is an ago replete with wonders—far from tho least of which, are, two instances having occurred in the course of the last two years, of fat offices being patriotically refused, which were tendered i.n compensation for political advocacy. Q. 7. Do you, or do you not, believe in Capt. Synimos' Theory of the Earth ? If yea, where do you think the Great Il ole is ? A. We have as yet no positive belief respecting the concavity or solidity of the earth —we shall know more about it after the brig Aramata returns with Capt. Rey nolds; meantime, though we can say, that, if the ear'll actually is hollow, the ' Gteat 11 »le* is at the principal gettin-in place, near the North Pole. 8. Wha. do you think of Governor Houston's selling blankets to the Indians ? A. That lie will very probably find it more protiiablo to himself, than buying blanks of lotte-y brokers. O- 9 What do you think was tho case of the dentil of Sam Patch? A. That insatiable, singular, and most deprecable amuition which inducod Mil ton’* Devil to say, and to act as though, 11 "Tie brtl-r to ru.'c in /**// than serve in Hnvics.” Q. 10. Piuaso state your btlief relative to the death of Capt. Bill Morgan. A. IPs death, and the ficts and circum •tances which have been developed during tho various trials hid upon tho subject, have nut exalted the Institution of Free Masatuy in irh, in tho Estimation of the '‘uninitiated.” Q. 11. What do vou think of the In fan r School? A. The answer to this question depends upon the manner in which it is to be con strued. It the querist moans tho common School Sys.cm of Georgia, the practica bility of which ii as yet unattested, being in au infaut state, or mere experimental stage, then go on w ith it, till it ihall have been fully tried. But if he wislro* the "In fant School’ to be understood in the same light in which tho ladies are sometimes toasted at anniversary dinners, as the ac tive friends of M our Infant Manufacto ries," why, then we say, it is a useless in stitution, and should be abolished instan tcr, ns causing n waste of '* ihe poeole’s money." Xature , herself, is an efficient instructress in tlieso matters, and is never very dilatory aboul giving her lessons. (J 12. On which side of a jug is the handle tlierooi ? A. Th* handle of a jug in never, wo believe, n3i\n,l to the inside ; but more directly speaking, in order to ascertain its location, get i.ie unbroken arc—ar seg ment, rattier—of the jug as exactly ** possible in front of you, and thus you will find she haudio to be on fother sole. Tiiis rule will bo found good with all common singfe-h mdled jugs; but with those things, ycl ’pt polit iral ju >Jet s, alias, ojjice-hunters, it will be d'derent —and, if you suppose certain mm ur principles to constitute the j g, and themselves the handles, the only method whereby you can find out which side they are on, is, to make a close examination tor the strongest side of the log, and there you will perceive them.— Hot such handle's are so very unsafe—so little confidence can be placed in them, that they are noser worthy of notice, any or her than necessary to keep them off the j ig, lest others, not sufficiently aware ol their frag lily, should attempt to avail themselves ot its sirtue, by those hanJles, and thus break it into pieces. y. 13.

TROUP’S LETTER. Laurens County, Geo. Sept. 21 st, 1830. j Gentlemen: —Accept my thanks for your polite invitation to a Public Meet j ing and dinner at Columbia, directed to ! Milledgeville: it did not reach me until ! last mail. Whether with you on that in j teresting occasion or not, you have my best wishes for the results of the wise counsels and patriotic efforts which you ' cannot fail to carry to the discussion of the topics of the day—they are of first importance to the whole union. Whatever the People of South-Caro lina in Convention shall resolve for their j safety, interest and happiness, will be right, and none will have the right to I question it.—You can change jour own ! government at pleasure, and therefore yen can throw oft" the government of the un ion, whenever the same safety, interest and happiness require it. If ambition and avarice shall make of the federal go j vernment, a curse, and the states are to be held to it against their will, our con ■ dition differs in nothing from that of the Provinces of Turkey or Persia. The , manv-headed Tyrant, in the habitual vio lation of the constitution, vaunts his love of union, as if ready to make a burnt-of -1 sering of his looms and spindles upon the altar of that union—yet not one jot of | concession is made to the prayers and entreaties which, if offered to the Throne i of Grace, would be received graciously, and answered favorably. The Cormo rant who fastens aud fattens on our sub- I stance, may not release his hold, so long as weate the willing subject cf his re morseless passion. But ido not utterly despair—the American people will see ! that the Constitution and Union can on ly be preserved by a return to honesty and justice. It is impossible we can be wrong—ours is the cause of Liberty—of j Freedom—of Industry—of the use of the I faculties of mind and body fur all purposes, merely innocent without governmental interference : opposed to restraints and ! prohibitions & monopolies in every form. If contrary to expectation the existing system shall become the fixed and settled policy of the country, the Southern states must withdraw from the confederacy, cost what it may. No evil is more to be { dreaded than a power in tho general gov ernment, to regulate Industry—a power which cannot with safe’v be confided to any government, but with the most guard ed limitations. Direct taxes for the en couragement of manufactures would not have been paid for a single year. The 5 cents a yard on our Colton Bagging, le vied lor the professed purpose of enabling the Western States to supply the article on their own terms when the proceeds were to make roads and canals for the same States, would have b**en opposed j with a spirit not easily allayed. They ! hive been borne only because being Indi rect they are unseen, and because a por tion of the evil may bo avoided by the non-consumption of those articles w hich 1 are not ol first necessity. Thera cannot be a greater fallacy than that the union is to be preserved by a power in the gene ral government to coerce the states. The | existence of suvoreignty excludor the j idea of force. Our’s is a government of i opinion, of consent, of voluntary associa tion—the only guaranty for uuion, is jii*- i lice. Justice secure* good feeling, fideli ty, affection, nnd nothing but justico can secure them. Os what value is that un ion mhich is formed of unwilling and re ! luctant members, who bat for the •word suspended over their heads, would fly off from the common centre, which burns only to destroy ? The constitution ad ministered according to its letter nndspi i rit can dispense nothing but justice, and ! the character of ihe American people is the sufficient warranty, that no state would separate from ihe anion without justifia ble cause. Regarding the union as a I family compact, the members of which ran only be kept togeiher bv the prdcnco of strict and impartial justice, it i» better that tho noo-con'pnts and malcontents should be suffered »«»depart in peace by common consent, than by common con cert, to constrain a reluctant obedience, which ifyieided today, may be forcibly withdrawn to morrow. It is the shed ding of blood *• bich deters us from con stitutional resistance to uncos;notional kiws, and which ought to ho postponed so long as the faintest ho;>e remains of a re turning sense of justice. You well know how the same infatuation is constantly pursuing an interest infinitely more sa cred, the unhallowed touch of which we would be bound in honor to resist and with a vengeance never to be appeased. But pardon so much on these distressing topics, and accept the tender of mv re gard and esteem. G. M. Troup. Leery pcrsoE engaged in digging fold in the Cherokee country has been driven off by the U.

Ihe Duchess of Angouleme is the only one of the family that maintains any equanimity or courage. Buonaparte said, she’was the only man in the Bourbon family. She says her nephew will be on the throne in three mouths. The London Timesssys, there will be at most not more than nine Roman Catholic members itr the new Parliament, and most of these will be returned from places in England. FOR rue GEORGIA COURIER. To the Trustees of the Richmond Academy Gentlemen— It appears to me that your Advertisement docs not hold out a sufficient inducement for a person of first rate qualifications, to offer for the Rectorship in your Institution. I therefore, offer the following remarks for your considera tion, and assure you, no other motive influences me, than that interest in the welfare of the Insti tution, which every citizen ought to feel. Ihe Rector’s duty is to tukc charge of the classical department, and superintend the whole Institution-—an arduous duty, if well performed. Ilieiefore, let him have a good salary, and not be dependent on the number of scltol irs for his support. Make his salary S2OOO, nnd give him the dwelling free of expense. 1 would ulso pro pose a reduction in the pi ice of tuition; say in the English department, for Boys not over Ten years of age, 4 dollars; for Boys over that age, 6 dol lars. lu the c'assical department let the tuition be 6 dollars; ami I t those who wisli to learn tire modern languages, pay 10 dollars per quarter. By this method you would hare double, nay r treble the number of scholars you now have, aud consequently your income would be greater, il the number of scholars should, ns I have said, increase, you will require more Teachers; for no Teachci can instruct well, more than 30 scholars. I will therefore, proceed to prove to you (if it be a fact that the number of scholars will increase,, as the price of tuition decreases, which is very probable,) that you can employ five Teachers where you n>w employ but three. We will sup pose the numhei of scholars to ircrease to 170— sny 60 clasvical scholars—6o English scholars at 6 dollars—4o at 4 dollars —and 20 at 10 dollars, studying the modern languages. Then your in come will be as follows: 60 in the classical department at $6 is S3OO 60 “ •• English Do “ 6 " 300 40 " “ Do Do “ 4•• 160 20 studying the modern languages, )0 " 200 170 per quarter $960 W hich multiplied by 4 Makes, per annum $3,840. Your expenditures should be as follows: Rector’s salary $2 000 I*4 English Teacher’s salary J,OQO 2d Do do and > 800 3d l>c do do 600 Teacher of modern languages 900 Clerk's salary the same you now give 400 _____ 6.700 The Institution would have to pay SIB6O from its Treasury. You are now paying out of yonr treasury to three Teachers and Clerk the following sums, according to your advertisement, vrzt— Rector SBOO English Teacher 600 Teacher of modern lanruages 250 Clerk 400 $1,900 Bring an rices* of s9oper annum over whatyou would hove lo pay, upon the plan I propose.— The resulc is, thal you will be enabled lo give fair salaries to the Rector and Teachers ; put tu ition lower—have more Teachers, more scholar* and better instruction; and 90 dollars more in the Treasury, every year. If these remarks should, upon consideration, appear true, I hope they will not pass unnoticed. A Native Citisen. vou the courier.
