Thete is the E*-Presidout, J, Q. Adams,
feupportiiig the administration in its expo
sition of the Constitution, arid contending,
in tlf nf a President who ousted him
from office by aid of tlte very men
and ih’6 very pi inciples ho is now denoun
cing.-s—Titere is Mr. Carson of North
Carolina, last winter supporting the ad
ministration at all h-ia.irdq this winter de-,
nouncing it. There is the Ex-Secretary
of tits Navy, Mr. Branch, »uce the bosom
friend of the President, St an ardent sup
porter, now a nuiiifier, and in direct hos
tiiity to the persons and measures of the
administration. There is- Muhleitburt:

.Jackson for the Presidency, butvotittg
with Dearborn of Miissachusetts.a.gaiqsi
his proposed redoc'ion of the Taritl.
| There is Kennoti of Ohio, an undoubted
Jackson man, denouncing Mr. Verplank’s
Bill, which Cambrelong of New-Yotk,
not a stronger friend of the President, is
as zealously upholding. .There too is
Shepard of Nortlt Carotina, opposing the
same bill, which Speight from the same
State is supporting, and yet both are
friends of the President ! There are
Wickhffo and Daniels, who did every
thing to get this admuiistrbiion into pow
er, doing as much to get it out. There
are’he agents of the President himself,
Soliciting his adversaries for votes to sus
tain the administration against the acts of
Sofftlt Carolina. Indeed, where am, II
what has happened ?
1 go into the Cabinet. Old Democracy
and eld Federalism ate thora, curiously
fond of taclr other. Mr. Me Lane is by
side with Mr. Livingston, the first once
“Ajax” of the fedetal party; the list
as stout an Ajax of democracy: Mr.
Woodbury and' Mr. Tanev, oneb atn ipo
des in principle, now nod agreement and
join in sweet concord.—Tlte President
asks “Gentlemen, what do you think ol
nullification?” “It must be put down.”
responds Mr. Me Line. “It must be
put down,’ ” echo all. “It is revolution
ary,” adds Mr. Woodbury.—“Bui Tom
Jeffersou is Ihe farther of it,” cries' Mr.
McLano. “Tom Jefferson was a theo
rizer. Tom Jeffeisou was a mad man,”
adds Mr. Livingston. “Tom Jefferson
has been the fountain 0* infinite mischief;
he has put afloat all these dogmas,” ex
claims Mr. Taney.
A Pr<l da lift-t ton is to be written. Make
the Govermem strong,” orders the Presi
dent. “They will call us Federalists,”
answers Mr. Livings/tou. “Richie wiil
complain,” adds Mr. Woodbury,-—“Rit
chie is a fool,” exclaims the Frsidunt.
“Van Boren wilt mnko him go ligtl l
The old federal doctrines is the true doc
trine: tlte government must be kept strong
qo hold us together. That rascal Calhoun
must bo put down.”
Well, ! jo to the Kitchen Cabinet.
“What a hoax we denverats are playing,”
jrciily exclaims Kendall,* “They have
just sent me to print a Federal Procla

shall I appear iu Ritchie’s eyes” “Seces
sion is Virginia, INuJlficatiou is S. Caio
lina.” “Nonsense,’ adds Lewi<. * Who
will support us iu Congress,’ all ask.
Benton! no. He is piuned by his speech
in 1830. So is Grundy. Can Wilkins?
No, he has not the talents to cope with
Culhouu. Clay is unmanageable, and
for consistency sake, we must let him a
lone. There is Webster. Invi'c him
to the White House. Court him. Let
him kill off Calhoun, arid the Nullifies,
and then we will kill off him,” soliloqui
ses Kendal. Bravo, bravo, all respond,
—with the usual! concluding*
Sons.
"Black spjltg and while.
Red spirits and grey;
Mingle, mingle, mingle,
You that may.”
I next look abroad in tlte world. There
is Massachusetts once venturing almost
on the verge of nullification, nrnV den
ouncing it. There is South t’arolina
rebuking the Hartford Convention, but
assembling 11 worse one at Columbia, and
copying front. Massachusetts the doctrines
she once exploded. There is Virginia
feuding Jefferson u$ a demigod, and yes
Condemning the nuHficalion of which lie it
(he father. There is Pennsylvania, once
threatenrd :o callout her Militia to stop
the process of the NationarJuditriary.ncw
the fast friend of the Supreme XJourt.
There is Georgia Scoraing nnliificatiou
this side of the Si Vannah, but practising
it on the other. I turn to the Nortlt.
There is 11. G. Otis swecUing in the
Funoel Hall the Sung of praise upon the
President’s Proclamation, ami there the
spirited Bostonians responding ’A men.
There is the Gentenel and New Hamp
shire Patriot, both pledging their services
to the administration, and J chiming in con
cord against nullification. Plum to the
South. There is tho noble* hearied
Hayne parading with the pomp and cir
cumstance of war, against bis friends who
in 1830 clapt him so warmly for “over
whelming Webster.’ There is the Chair
itmaff of tho famous Retrenchment Bill,
which secured Jadason’s election—the
fiery Hamilton ,
•‘Thou DAlhousic, thou great god of nr,
Lieutenant Colonel to the F.arl of Mar.”—
now as Commander in Chief, buying
cannon, boarding muskets and arraying
troops to make war upon his own Presi
dent in behalf of South Carolina,—the
nation ~
“That rises like the tssue of a king;
And wears upon her baby-brow the crown
And top of BuVtREiGSTy, M
1 leak to the p;ess. There is the
Richmond Enquirer but yesterday as it
were, hurrying onward nullification and
recession, an3 now rebuking both. There
is the New York Courier and Enquirer,
but a little while ago, launclung its thun
ders upon Dr. Cooper and all the nullify,
ers, and how inditing articles adapted even
h r tlte ...columns of the Telegraph. I
look to Parlies. Clay men, Jackson
men, Anti Masons, where are vt? ye who
but yesterday were vilifying each other,
and fighting, like two Kilkenny cats? Lo!
1 heard tha tush of commiugled appioba
tlon from every point of the compass. I
lmn to the President; Thme is the Ve
do Message averring that each man may
ronstrue the constitution as he Unders'ands
; it, and here, the last message, acknowl
edges the Supreme Court the unrpiro of
constitutional, questions. Is the tariff the
.dividing line ? I am on both sides of the
Jackson patty. Are Internal Improve
men s the test? I have friends and adver
saries in the Jackson party. Is nulltftca
lion the mark? lam with the Picsidem
“front.the eggs to apples.” Though de
seated in our men, our pri octples are
victorious. Our champion once denoun
cod for advancing those principles, is now
invoked to sustain the administration in
their execution. As National Repub
licans, I am sure, \vc all stand on the
same foundation where we stiwrtl six
months ago—»but onr* adversaries have
stolen our flag, stolen out story.
Tlii; social relations iu this city arc also csscn
"lially changed. The oddest amalgamations oc
casionally take place. The Office-holders, last
winter,.rcowled upon men who ate now on good
terms at the White Ho tse. Here and there arc
promenading arm in arm, conversing agreeably,
and. nodding gracious assent to each other, in -
dividual*, who. lasi winter, had not a sipgle
thought in common. As the Southern Nnhiflers
were never such ruthless, truculent Saracens in
Politics, as were the Jackson men, all sh ke
hands, and smile a3 they sigh over "the crisis."
I go to a social party, and se’e Calhoun,
Webster, Wilkins and M'Duffie in a cluster
together! 110 »k over my shoulder, and there is
edging through the crowd, a lady hold ,of the
ai pi Os a gentleman with w horn her liytsband was
not on speaking terms a year ago! I turn to
the right, and there are Gen Green and Major
Noah on a Sofa tnget’i fcr, and here am I thrown
into a coiillion with Senator Hill! Confusion
were confounded!—lndeed I do not know where
I am, nor to what party I belong fam at sea,
sadly puzzled to find my political latitude and
longitude, la all this fog—w if out wind, sails, or
rudder. It seems asif i had fnllennpon a hew
era, the Saturnalia of Politics, as it were or step,
ped into another century with another genera
tion. 3.
REVENUE COLLECTION DILL.
Mr. Rives, of Virginia, took tlte floor,
and, after a modest exordium, in which
lie alluded to the embarrassment under
which he labored, as a stranger to this
body almost a stranger in his own country,
though in feeling he' had never separated
from it, —and a total Suranger to the stew
doctrines which bad sprung tip fn the coun
try during his absence, —ho went ffn to
examine the question,upon the fund imen
tal principles of the Constitution, which
are deeplyToutdd in the mind of every
citizen. The new doctrines wltiolr he
had heard from members of this body,
went, he said, not to a single portion or
principle of tho Constitution, but to the
whole uame and structure of uur govern
ment—to its very eifetence. He begged
leave to state, in tlte outset, that no one
was ffiore opposed to the policy of the
protective system than himself. He had
often raised Iris voice against it in Ihe
ollior Floiiso, as a system unjust, and,
in its operation, unequal. What was
•vastly more improrturift, the S ate which
he represented,had often piotested against
the system, and had very recently appeal
ed to ns for relief from it. Appeals from
the States and citizens opposed to the sys
tem, could not fail to produce effect. Al
ready we have seen some indications of a
favourable change of opinion on this sub
ject, both on the part of the people and of
Congre.<s. Light has broken in upon us
from a quarter (turning to Mr. Clay,) to
which we mtgm !v"k vvi !i confidence for
such a course of policy as the present con
dition of the country required. Bui in tlte
meanwhile, a painful duty was impored
I>n us by the attitude of one State of the
Union, which lias determined, on its own
authority, to annul the whole system - of
revenue laws. The pretonsions of South
Carolina affected the vitality of the Con
stitution ; they would produce an inequal
ity of burdens, which it was the object of
the Constitution to provide against. He
was not prepared to assent to the ej.'mp
;ii.>rf of Sbtnh Carolina from' taxes white
Virginia was bound to pay them. Tlte
•inequality produced by this state of things
could only he avoided by drawing ifie
whole commerce of the country to Charles
ton, in which Cl9O the whole revenue of
the country would be cut off. These
pretensions could not be sustained by any
.theory drawn from the Constitution.—
That one jiower has a right to annul a
law which another power has a right to
enact, was a solecism to tefute which 00
reasoning was necessary. Tlte as
sjmptiruj of South Carolina could only be
borne out by an express rese-vation in the
Constitution. Does the Constitution re
serve to tho Siatos the right to put h Veto
on the laws of the United States? So
far from it, the Constitution expressly de
clares that the laws of the United States
shall be the supreme law «f the land, any
thing in tho State laws St Constitution to
the contrary not withstanding. But both
of the Senators from South Curolin 1 had
contended that there was’no power on the
part of tlte general government to coerce
obedience to tho laws from tlte citizens of
that State; that the government bad no
power to carry its laws into effect, by act
ing on individuals in the State and that
tho allegiance of the citizens was due
to the Sia»e and uot to the government
of the United fixates. Tlte question was
in a word, whether fe was competent for
the national government to pass laws o
perating on the citizens of a State.. With
this issue lie closed; and it was his inten
tion to follow the gentleman from South
Carolina, Who first spoke on this subject,
(Mr. Calhoun) through the whole course
•>f reasoning, n hich had led him to sit a-"
side the Constitution and set up in its
stead a new,*arbitra^y v aDd despotic pow
er;
[Mr. Rives went on to cflrry out this'
intention, in a very earnest and iugeuious
argument. He cut up the Nnttification
doctrines by the roots, gathered them to
gether,.and flung them away. He show
ed that they were utterly inf (insistent
with the recorded opinions and views of
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jolt nTay
lor,of Caroline,and others of thy fathers,
founders, and defenders of the Constitu
tion. The Virginia doctrines of 09 he
had imbibed from' studies, par
tialities and associations. He adheured
to them inflexibly still, and would main
tain them with his latest blVuth.— But
the' modern interpolations on the text be
utterly repudia efi and rejected. Y«o
may easily imagine the effect of this
speech on the Senate and crowded audi
tory. It bad a double effect from the
circumstance that up to tho moment when
Mr. Rives commenced, it was uokoowu
to any one what course he would take
whether for or against Nullification;
though many surmised, that,like liis col
league, he would tarke a middle ground.
His exposition of the Constitution is ex
tremely valuable from the circumstance
that he was the disciple and political pu*
pil of Mr. Jefferson, w hose confidence,
friendship; and instruct ions.; he.eujovod
from Iris youth. Brought up as he was,
then,-at the foot of Gamaliel, his duct-fines
must lie supposed to have tho true repub
lican savor.]
Mr. II ive,s concluded His remarks at
tlireo o’clock w hen then Senate took a
tecess till five o’clock.
AUGUSTA.
FRIPAV, M.iitCll I, iS33.
We leceitcd 110 papers north of Fayetteville
this morning.
The o]d saying on the oth«r side the Atlantic,
that a pound of dust on the first of March, wns
worth a peck of gotd, had its origin pro-bably in
the opinion, that dry weather on that day was a
favorable indication for the farmers for the re
inaindar of the season. We hope the want of
dust on that day here is not an unfavorable omen
for our agriculturists. For (he copiods‘sho\vers
of this morning Wave so moistened the surface of
tire earth, that we shall not look for dusty streets
again very shortly—but this will not, we trust
occasion business of any kind-to he less prosper
ous for some days to come, that? it has been for
a few days past.
Three days more wiil put end to the present,
being the twenty-second Congress of the United
States. From present appearances it seems not
likely that any alteration of ihe Tariff laws will
he made at the present Session of Congress—
indeed it was hardly to be expected that anv
Should be made norv—the law of the last ses
sion has not yet had time to go info practical
operation, and -no one knows with certainty
jlvhat will be its results, except that it is estima
ted that it will reduce the revenue between five
and six millions of dollars.—A id it would seerp
hut reasonable that it should he left to the next
Congress, which will be composed of many new,
as well as additional inembcis, to deter mine
whether a still further reductioif est rt venue
should take place, and if so how it should be ap
portioned. There is in the mean time <0 be
sure South Carolina in an attitude claiming se
rious attention, hut it is with pleasure that we
perceive the Convention of that State is again
lo be m Session in a few days, and the niagnaui
mity and wisdom of that body At ill probably re
scind their Ordinance, or suspend all proceed
ings under it, till after the close of the next ses
sion of Congress—for it is obvious that without
regard to any particular measures of that State,
tliere is a disposition every where, to preserve
the harmony of the Union, ant! to remove ns far
as possible all causeg“of discontent, fioin every
portion of our widely extended and happy coun
try.—And it is not to be believed, that the intel
ligent file* of 3t>ulli»Carolina a 111 put to hazutd
the best interest, of that Stole and the traiupiili
ly of the whole country in pursuit of what, in
in comparison with these considerations, is but
a mere two penny object at the best. VVe trust
a wiser and more prudent course will be puisued
by the Convention at their appi onrhing meeting.
Their former precipitency can be collected,
with credit to themselves, and benefit to the
Stato.
