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 fidence, for the approbation us the coun try. m 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.

RICHARD BRINGER Sovereign oj his own State SimoN BrinGer, Sec’ry* Montgomery, Ala. Jan 13. 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 otily drawn "a few secret adders from 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.

A Republican on a Throne.— Bes re I left Stockholm, I had the honor of be ing invited to pay my tespects to the King and Queen of Sweden, this is a dis tinction which Charles John is very fond of conferring upon his fellow countrymen. It was the first time I had fairly met a crowned brow face t» face, and I was un der great apptehensions lost I should be doomed to hear indifferent quedons put by tbe monarch, and confused answers given by myself, Instead of this I had the delight of listening for a whole hour, to his remarks ou France, her revolution, his owu life, his fortunes, his scheme of policy, and they were tho remaks of a shrewd and generous mind.

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.

The reason assigned in the Repot I of the .Tu* diciaiy Committee of the Hoti<e, for not adopt ing the whole provisions of the Bill before llqg Senate for the collection of duties, is, that the' inadequacy of the existing taws to invet the e mergency, should be first ascertained by tho act lion of the courts.
