REVENUE COLLECTION BILL.
The Senate than procedsd again to
ihe Specif Order es the Day, being the
'Bill making further provisions for the
collection us the Revenue. —
Mr Webster said, be wished to inter
rupt the course of the debate for a single
moment, in order to set one matter right
if he could. Since a warm controversy
was rising on this measure, he thought it
but proper that we should understand be
tween what parties the controversy exist
ed.
Seon after the declaration of war by
the Uuited States against England, an
Atngjgtcan vessel fell io at sea with one of
England, and gave information of the
Declaration. The English matter en
quired, with no little warmth of manoer
and expression, why the United States
had'fcone to war with England? The
American answered him, that difficulties
had existed, for a good white, between
the two Governments, and that it w»s at
length though ,in America, to be high
time, for the parties tu come to a better
■Understanding,
1 incline lo think, Mr President, that
that a war has broken nut here, which is
very likely, before it closes, to bring the
patties to a better understanding. Hut
who are the parties 1 Will you please to
remember, sir, that this a measure found
ed in Executive recommendation. Too
President, charged by the Constitution
With the duty of executing the laws, has
sent a message, allegiug that powerful
combinations aid iurmiug lo resist their
execution; that the existing laws are not
•ufficient to meet the crisi«, and recom
mending sundry enactmoots as necessary
fur the occasion. The message being
referred to the Judiciary Committee,
that Committee, has reported a bill in
cotuplance with the Presidcut,s message.
Every thing in the bill, every single pro
vision, which is now complained of, is in
the message. Yet in the whole war is
raised against the Comrnittoe; as if the
Committee had originated the whole mat
ter. Gen letnen get up and address us
as if they were arguing against some
measure of a factious opposition. They
look the same way. sir, and speak with
the same vehemence, as they used to do
whea they raised their patriotic voices a
gaiost what they called a " coalition.”
Now, sir, let it be known, once for all,
that this is au Administration meast-re ;
-and I pray gentlemen to have the good
ness if they call it hard names, and talk
loudly agaiust its friends, not to overlook
its seu<ce. Let them attack it, if they
jehoose to attack it, io its origin.
£,t-t it be known, also, that a insjotity
of the Committee reporting the bill are
Trends and supporters of the A l niaistta-.
tioo; »ed that it is maintained in this
Houso by those who are among his stead
fast frieuds, of long standing.
[t is, sir, as I have already said, the
Piosident’s own measure. Let those
who oppose i’, oppose it as such. Let
them fairly acknowledge i>s origin, and
meet it accordingly.
The bonarable inembei from Kentucky,
who spoke first against the bill, said be
found it iu au other Jersey Prison Ship;
let him state, then that the President has
sent a message to Congress, recommend
ing a reuewal of the sufferings and hor
rors of the Jersey Prison Ship. He says
too that the bill snuffs of the alien and
sedition law But the bill is fragraut of
no flower except the same which pei fumes
the message. Let him, thea say, if he
thinks so, that Gen. Jackson advises a
revival of the principles cf ihe alien and
sedition laws*
The honorable member from Virginia
(Mr, Tyler.) finds out a resemblance be
tween this bill and the Boston P ort bill,
S>r, if one of these be imitated from the
other, the imitation is the President’s.
Tbe bill drakes the piesident. he says,
cole judge of the Constitution. Does bo
mean to say that (he President has rec
ommended a measure which is to make
him sole judge of the Constitution? The
bill he declares, sacrifices every thing to
arbitrary power—he will lend no aid to
its passage—he would rather "be a dog
and pay the moon, than such a Reman”
He did not say "the old Roman.” Yet
tbe gentleman well kouws, that if any
thing is sacrified to arbitrary power,
this sacrifice has been demanded by
tbe "Old Roman,” as he and others h ave
called him: by the President whom he
has supported.se often and so ably, for
the Chief Magistracy of the country. He
says, too, that one of the sections is an
English Botany Bay law, except that it
is much worse. This section, air whatevei
it may be is just what the President’s
Message recommended. Similar obser
vations are applicable to the remarks us
both the honorable gentlemen from North
Carolina. It is not necessary to particu
larize those remarks. They were in the
Same strain.
Therefore, sir, let it be understood, lei
it be known, that the war which these
gentlemen choose to wage, is waged h* J
gainst the measutr* of (bn administration-,
.against the President of their own choice.
The controversey has arisen between liim
and them: and. in its progress, they will
probably come tea distinct understand
i«g.
Mr. President, 1 am net to bo under*
derstood as admitting that these charges
against the bill are just, or that they
would be just if made against tho mes
sage. On the contrary I think them
wholly unjust. Not ou* of them, in my
opinion, can be made good* I think the
bill, or some similar measure,had become
indispensable, and that the Piesideni
could not d«> otherwise than to recom
mend it to the consideration of Congress,
lie was not at liberty to look and be si
lent, while dangers threatened the Union,
which existing laws were not competent,
io his judgement, to avert.
.Mr. President, I take this occasion to
say,tfiat/ support this measure,as an inde
pendent member us the Senate, iu the
discharge of the dictates uf-wsy own con
science. (am no man’s leader; and, on
the other hand, 1 follow no lead, but that
of Public Duty, and the Star es the Con
stitution. I believe the country is in
considerable danger;! believe an unlawful
coiubinntiua thteatens the integrity of
the Union. I believe this cisis calls for
a mild, temperate, forbearing, hu inflex
iblv firm execution of the laws. And, un
der this conviction, I give a hearty sup
port to the Adininistiaii*n,ia all measures
which I deem to be fair, just and necess
sary. And in supporting these measures,
f mean to take my (air rharfeof respansi
bility; in support them fraukly and fairly
without reflections on the past,and with
out mixing other topics in their discus
sion.
Mr. President, I think I understand
the seutiment of the country, oil this .sub
ject. I think public opinion sets with ir
lesistible force tn lavor of the Union,infa'
vorofth* course recommended by the Pre
sident,dc against the new doctrines which
threaten the dissolution of tho Union. 1
think the people of the £7uited States
demand of us, who are entrus ed with
the Government,to maiutnin that Govern
ment; to be just, and fear not; to make all
suitable provisnos for the execution
of the law*, and to sustain the Union and
the Cwnstitu'ion against whatsoever may
endanger them F«r one, 1 obey this
public voice; I comply with this demand
of the People. I support the administra
tion iu measures which I believe lo be ne
cessary; and, while ourisuiug this coutse,
f unhesitatingly, and with the utmost con

THE Q,UESTIOJT.
Thu YVashiugiou Globe furnished the
following extract which are uot without
interest at this time.
A paragraph is going the rounds of the
nullifying papers, by which it is asserted
that Mr. Madison had expressed his dis
approbation of >he doctrines contained
in the President’s Proclamation. We
have na means of kuuwing what opinions
that vetiOtable patiiot has expressed on
file subject wha'ever those opinions may
be they are entitled to tho highest res
pect. His memory, j.udgomeut, and rea
soning faculties are uirmpaired, and his
love of country is as aidant as in the
the brightest days es his life. We re
peat, that we arc not acquainted with the
judgement ho tnuy liavja passed on the
Prodamat'nu, but from site opinions he
has given on the most important doctrine
in it, we are led oniirety to disbelieve the
assertion contained in the paragraph t
which we allude. His letter ro Mr Ev
erett, lately republished contains a tii
umphant refutation es the nullify ing dog
mas which were attempted to be deduced
from his tesolutions of 98. Tlfe follow
ing extract from ala ter written nearly
three years since, taken in connexion
with the spoech to which it alludes, we
think goes further.
[Copy of a letter Jo Mr. Livingston]
Montpellier, May 8, 1830.
You have succeeded better in your
interpretation of tbe Virginia proceedings
in ’9B—’99. than thoso who have seen in
them a coincidence with the nullifying
doctrine so called. This doctrine new
to me a9 it was to you, deiives no sup
port from the best cotemporary ekicida
lioosof those proceedings—the debate on
the resolutions—the address of the Legis
latum ro i's constituents, and the scope
of the objections made by the Legisla
ture of other states, whose occurrence
was invited und refused.
The etror in the late comments on the
Virginia proceedings has arisen from afail
ure to distinguish between what is declai
atory of opinion, aod what is ipso facto
executory; between the rights of the part
lies, and of a single party: and between
resors within the purview of the Consti
tution, and die ultima ratio which ip
peals from a constitution cancelled by
its abuses, to original rights, paramount
to all Constitutions.
(Sieoed) JAMBS MADISON.
' Nothing can be more beautifully con
cise and conclusive thaa these fete lines
They contaiu almost io tbe compass of a
maxim tbe troe tepublicaodoctrine & the
reasouwhy it has been misunderstood.
We have not room for the speech of
Mr Liviugstnn, but give the following ex
tract from it in which he sums up has ar
gument, and prenounces his “deliberate
opinions on the nature and consequences
of the construction hitherto given of the
Federal compact, and the obligations and
rights of the States, under it;" which he
deems “erroneous and in tho highest de
gree dangerous to the Union.”
I think that the constitutional is the result
of a compact entered into by the several
States, by’which they surrendered a part
of their severeigoty to the Union: and
vested the part so surrendered in a Gen
eral Government.
That this Government is partly popu
lar acting directly on the citiaeos of the
several States; partly federative depen
tiiftg fur In existence & action on the sev
oral Statex.
That by the institution of this govern
ment the States have unequivocally surren
dor ed eVery constitutional right of impen
ding or resisting tho execution of any de
cree or judgement of the Supreme Court
in any case of law or equity between
persons or on mutters, <>f whom or on
which that Court has jurisdiction, eveu
if such decree or judgement should iu
the opiniou of the States, be unconstitu
tional,
That in cases in which n law of the
Uuited States may infringe the constitu
tional right of a State, but which in its
operation, cannot be brwught,before the
Supreme Court under the terms of the
jurisdiction expressly giveu to it ever
particular petsons or matters, that Court
is not created the umpiie between a State
that may deem itself aggrieved and the
general Government.
That among the attributes us sove
reignity retained by the States, is that of
watching over the operations of tho Gen
erul Government, and protecting its cit
liens agaiust their oncunsiiiotional abuse:
and that ‘his cau be legally done-—•
First, in the case es an act in the opin.
inn of the state palpably unconstitutional,
hut iffinned in the Supreme Court in the
legal exorcise of its functions:
By remoDStating against it to Congress
By an address to the people in ilieij
elective functions to change or iustruct
their Representatives;
By a similar address to the other states
in which they will have a right to declare
thet '.hey consider the act as unconstitu
tional and therefore void;
By proposing amendments tu the Con'
stitutiooin the manner pointed out by
that instrument.
And finally, if the act be intolerably op*
pressive, and they hod the General Gov
ernment persevere in enforcing it, by a
resort to the natural right which every
people have to resist extreme oppression.
Secondly, if the act be otre of those few
which, in its • peration, cannot be sub
mitted to the Supreme C«ui t, and be one
that will, in the opinion of the State, ju'*
tify the risque of a withdrawal from ihß
Union, that this last extreme remedy may
at once be resorted to.
That the right of resistance to the op
eration of an act of Congress, in the ex
tretne cases above alluded to, is not a
right derived from the Constitution, but
can be justified only on tbe supposition
that the Constitution has been broken,
and tho State absolved from its obligation ;
and that, whenever resorted to, it must
be at the risk of all the penalties a tuched
to an unsuccessful resistance to establish
ed authority.
That the alleged right of a State to put
a vtlo on the execution of a lav; of the
United States, which sutli State may de
clare to be uucoustituiiou.il, attended (as,
if it exist, it must b*) with a correlative
obligation on the part of the General
Government, to refrain from executing it ;
and the finther alleged obligation on the
part of that Government to submit the
question to the States, by proposing a
mendmonts, are not given by (be Con
stitution, nor do (hoy grow out of uny of
the reset ved powers.
That the exorcise of the powers last
mentioned, would introduce a feature in
nur Government, not expressed in the
Constitution net implied from any right
of sovereignly reserved *o the States, not
suspected to exist by the friends or ene
mies of the Consiitutiuu, when it was fra'
med »r adopted ; not warranted by prac
tice or contemporaneous exposition, nor
implied by the true construction of the
Virginia resolution* in ’9B.
That the introduction of this feature in
our Government wou and to< ally change its
outute, make it inefficient, incite to dissent
sion, and end, at no distant period, in
separation ; and that, if it had been pro
posed in the fottn of ao explicit provision
in the Cuns'itution, it would have been
uriauimously rejected, both in the Con
vention which frumed that instrument, and
in those which adopted it.
That the themy of tho Federal Gov-*
eminent, being the result of the general
will of the People es the United States in
their aggregate capacity, and founded, in
no degree,on compact between the Stater,
would tend to the most disastrous practi
cal results ; that it vwmld place three
fourths of the States at the mercy of one
fourih, and lead inevitably to a consoli
dated Government, and finally to monar
chy, if the doctrine were generally ad
mitted : und if partially so, and opposed,
to civil dissonsion.
General Blair of South Carolina, ap
pears to have as strong an aveision to the
imputation of beiug a tory, as is said to
have been the fact with *a soldier in the
revolutionary war. When the Amercan
forces lay up< n tlio lines between New
York and Connecticut, it was fonnd ne
cessary to issue severo orders to them to
prevent them from plundering the inhab
itants of poultry, provisions, &c. A sol
dier, who was a foreigner, was charged
by a firmer with stealing and catrying
away to the camp a couplo of turkies—
a cock and a lieu* Upon examining be
fore the court martial, the charge was so
fully made out that no doubt remained
«>f the soldier’s guilt, he was called npon
for bis defence. Addtessing himself to
tho presiding officer, he said— “Your
honor knows that I could never bear to
be calld a lory; aod as I was going along
by the farmer’s yard, this long-ueckod
fellow stuck out his nose at rne.and called
out tnry,tory. I could not stand it so I
took him along to head-quarters to have
him punished.” “But Jemmy,” said the
officer, “ihe hen turkey did not call you
j° r y. Why did you take her also.”
‘•Faith, sir” said Jemmy, “sho was tbe
n nly creature present beside ourselves,
and 1 took her for witness***
Jemmy’s ingenuity saved him. The
farmer requested he might oot be punish
ed; aid as he was a faithful soildier, tbe
court, upon bis promise not to suffer bis
resentment to get the better of his judge
ment again; let him go. —JV. Y. Dai.

Our R*pr»9 otatives inCongress should
look to the resolution adopted by the peo
pie of Alabama for the sentiments of the
Slate, and not to Visionary speculations
of a serVile pi ess. Those who sustain
the President in his endeavors to presene
the Union by all constitutional means,
Will be sustained by their constituents at
hortte—‘-while thole who walk in the foot
steps es Caalheun, McDuffie, Cooper, A
Turnbull will truly have 'to edit upon the
moun’ains to hide them from their just in
dignation .” Gen. Audrew Jackson nev.
er possesssed more popularity iu this
in this Slate, than he does at the present
time. A few insid ous demagogues are
daily denouncing him, but their hostile
efforts only serve to unite the people more
Closely in his favor. Let Col. King
Messrs. Mardis asd Clay, examine well
the Bill giving to the President poweis
which he does not now possess, and if
•tpon examination they are por<uaded
that they are necessary to the action of
the Federal Government, let them say
so, and all will be well at home. The
idea of the President’s popularity being
on tbe decline is perfectly ridicuUus—no
one believes it here. It is ano'her "m»-
nceuvie” hatch*! up for effect abroad, ve
rv similar to the article wherein it is said
"Virginia will bring to the aid of the nub
lifters in fifty days, twenty tkonsand bay
onets, wielded by men, whose cry will be
"LIBERTY OR DEATH.” We a
gain say, Audrew Jackson’s popularity
has not declined, the Proclamation has

their holes.”—Planters Gaz.
Al a Meeting at Charlotte Court House. Vir.
Mr. John Raudolph of Roanoke, was “ chief
cook and I ottle wather,” being Chairman, mov
er es Resolutions and we know ait what else.
Without noticing the strange positions assumed,
it will be seen, they have some little soundness,
as evidenced by the last Resolution but one. It
is our duty to copy them as follows :
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That while we retain a grate
ful sense of ihe many great and valuable
services rendered by Andrew Jackson,
Esquire, to the United States, we owe it
to our country, and to our posterity to
muke our solemn protest against many of
tbe doctrines of his late proclamation.
Resolved , That Virginia "is aud of
right ought to be, a free, sovereign, and
independent Siate,” that she became so
by her own seperate act, which has been
since recognised, by all tho civilized
world, and has oever been disavowed, re
tracted, or umny wise impaired or weak
ened by any subsequent act of hers.
Resolved, That when, for purposes of
common defence and common welfare.
Virginia entered into a strict league of
amity and alliance with the other twelve
Colonies of British North America, she
parted with no portion of her sovereignty ,
although, from the necessity of the case,
the authority to enforce obedience there
to, was in certain cases, and for certain
purposes, delegated to the common agents
of the whole confederacy.
Resolved, That Virginia has never par
ted with ihe right to recall the authority
so delegated, fur gpod and sufficient cause,
uor with the right to judge of the insuf
ficiency of such cause, and to secede
from the confederacy whenever she shall
find the benefits of unioa exceeded by its
evils, union being the means of secuiiog
liberty and happiness, aod uot an end to
which they should bo sacrificed.
Resolved, That the allegiance of the
people ofVirgiuia is due to her—that to
her this obedience is due, while to them
she owas protection agaiust all the con
sequences of such obedience.
Resolved, That we have seen with
deep regret, that Andrew Jackson, £*q.
President of the United States has been
influenced by designing counsellors, to
subserve the purposes of their own guilty
ambition, to disavow the principles to
which he owed his elevatiou to the Chief
Magistracy of the Government of the
Uuited States, and to tiaasfer bis real
friends nod supporters, bound band aud
foot to the tender mercies of his antftheir
bitterest enemies, the ultra federalists—
ultra bank—ultra tariff—ultra internal
improvement, and Hartford Convention
men—the habitual scoffers at State
rights, and to their instrument, the venal
aud prostituted press by which they have
endeavored, and too socessfully, to in
fluence and mislead public oprnieo.
Resolved , That Virginia will be found
her own worst enemy, whenever she con
sents to number among her friends, those
who are oever true to themselves,* but
wheo they are false to their country.
Resolved, That ureowo it lo justic^,while
denouncing this protdoteus combination
between General Jackson and the late
unhallowed coalition of his and our ene
mies, to acquit them of any dereliction
of principle, and to acknowledge they
have but acted in their vocation.
Resolved , That We cannot concent to
adopt principles which we have always
disavowed merely because they have been
adopted by tha Fiesident and although
we believe that we shall be in a lean and
proscribed minority, we are prepared a
gaiu to take up our cross, confident of
success under that banner, so long as we
kept the faith,and can have access to the
public ear.
Resolved , Thai while we utterly repro
bate the doctrine of nullification as equal
ly weak and mischievous, we cannot foi
that reason give utir countenance to prin
ciples equally unfounded and io the high
est degree dangerous to the liberties of
the people.
Res l ived, That we highly approve of
the mission of Benjamin Wa'kins Leigh
not only as in itself expedient and judi
cious, but as unititig upon the man the
best qualified, whether for abilities integ
rity and principles, moral and political,
beyond all ofhets in the Commonwealth,
or in the United States,for the high uidu
ous, and delicate task which has devolved
upen him by the unanimous suffrage of
the assembly, and as we believe by the
people, and which lie alone is pet haps ca
pable .from ail these considerations united
in his person of discharging with success
and restoring this confederate republic to
its former harmony and union.

PEN3ACOLA, Feb’ 4
Melancholy Shipwreck —About noon
vesteiday the schooner William, Captain
William Kelly, arrived at this port, hav
ing on board 37 individuals, among wbonj
ate several females, and whose suffetings
from exposure and hunger, added to
their former misfortunes, have been of
the must extraordinary character, The
persons alluded (n are the passengers ou
board the brig Amelia, Capt. Dickerson,
from New Fork bound to New Orleans,
but from the appea.ance of Cholera ou
board, was compelled to put in at Folly
Island, near Charleston. It will be re
membered that the c/vil authoiities of
the city, featiug the iiitrodueiion nfihedis
ease into their city, ordered and caused
the Amelia to be burnt, providing n ves
sel to take such passengers as had escap
ed death.to their original place < f destina
tion, and ‘hey accordingly embarked on
on the 20th of November last, in the
schooner Cicero, Capt. Pientiss. Mis
fortune still followed them, and nn the
morning of the fourth day, the Captain
being mistaken in his teckoning tiro Ci
cero was totally wrecked ••ff Walker’s
Key and the 37 unfoTtunates lost every
think* By means of the boat A scattered
spars, all succeeded in reaching the Key’,
oxcept two of the men! printers by pro
fesion, named William Lawrence and
VVm. Murphy, natives of Ireland, both of
whom met a watery grave.
After remaining for fifteen days on the
Key, subsisting on Conks and weeds,they
were spared the suffering of starvation
by tho appearance of the schooner
Friend’s Delight, a wie&ker, who took
them oo board, and conveyed them to
Nassau, New-Provideuce, where some
little charity was extended them, and
Capt* Kelly, of the schooner William,
kindly offered his services to convey them
to New-Orleans.
They left Nassau oo ihe llth ult. but
having contraiy winds, and the quantity of
provisionsfnrnished them being small they
were compelled to hug the land, with the
intention of putting into tho first purt. —
They made the Pensacola light oo the
29th ult. but the wind blowing a perfect
hurricane from the west, they were com.
polled to stand off, in which the schooner
succeeded, after having her sails loro to
pieces. Indeed this last eniorprize upon
the sea has been attended with little less
sufferings than their previous attempts,
having bean nearly all tbe time on an al
lowance barely capable of sustaining life.
All the unfortunate persons alluded to,
with whom we have conversed, pay the
highest complitneots to the kindness and
attention of Cap. Kelly.

Much excitement prevailed in 'town yester
day from the circumstance of two Ttunks being
found near the Saraunnh road, just beyond the
limits of the City, broken open, robbed ot their
most valuable contents and much stained -vith
blood. Much blood was also found in the road,
with two pieces of plank or rail, which went
supposed to have been used in robbing, and
which were also marked with blood. Tbe publitf
uneasiness was relieved by the return of the Mil
