“In tiiC J.o-in.nsci ipt. copy r- f rred 10, and

“ Tins, tln n, is conclusive as to Mr. Jeffer

Here,, then, is evidence, blazoning itself
as plainly and as clearly as the light from
Heaven—and it goes indubitably to prove
that THOMAS .JFFERNON was the
FATHER OF NULLIFICATION. If
Tli IT .YiAnjvi'* v £ki 4k
that doctrine then be TREASONABLE-,
let the President, the Congress, ainl tiie
J udici try ot the General Government,
Urst go to tlio sacred vault of Alondceilo,
and tear open the codin which contains the
remains ot die patriot sage and hang them
up in chains, upon gibbets—let them do
this, an J then they may smile in the reck
lessness of 1 1 r hearts, and wreak their
patriotic vengongc upon his disciples of
South Carolina.
But. again—He, (the Pipsici’nt,) tells
us, that anther Pennsylvania, or \
hus yet contended for the.right claim'd i?v
South Carolina. We might content Oitr
selves by saying in general terms, that ad
mitting these States bad not contended for
die right, the existence of such a i'act could
not deprive South Carolina of the, privi
ledge of doing so; for it i a bad argument
to insist, that the submission of one State
to injustice and oppression, should be cited
as an example, and made imperative and
binding upon another. We will not avail
ourselves, however, of such a common
and universally acknowledged n axirn, but
will again icier to facts, incorporated into
the political and judicial history of our
country, to disprove the unwarranted posi
tion assumed by the President. We quote
once more from the same able Expositor
of State Rights, the Editor of the Banner
of the Constitution.
F,om the Banner of the Constitution , Dec. 5.

down, tint State Interposition is a Pennsyl

'VUo frst we shall adduce is that of tlip'Su

the Commonweal.li vs. Cobbet, December

:t was laid down, as an undisputed axiom,

‘■li'-' Supreme Court is not authorized to settle

but that, where a difference exists, each pur

fled to her sister States, who are equally in

the United States, that the Legislature, in
resisting encroachments on their rights, are
not acting in a spirit of hostility to' 1110 legi
timnte powr rs of the United States’ Courts;
o.it are actuatr dl y a disposit.ou to compio

of power, by an amerdcneßt to the Coustitu
tio;i- and that, whilst they are contending for
the rights ot the State, that it will be attri
butted to a desire of pr. serving the Federal
La‘.errpni-ni itself, tlie Inst features of which
mast depend upon keeping up a just balance
between the General and State Governments
as guarantii rl.
Be it therefore known, That the present
unhappy dispute Isii3 arisen out of tlie follow-
ing circumstances:
[Here follows a history of the case, occupy
ing upwards of eight pages of the pamphlet
laws, j
Although the Legislature reverence tin
Constitution ot the; United States ami its law
ml authorities, yet there is a respect due to
•dm solemn and public acts, and to the lionoi
md dignity of our own State, and the unva
rying assertion of h r right, for a period of thir
ty years, which right ought not to be rclin
pushed. Therefore
Resolved, by the Senate end. House of Re
■wesrnfatives of the Commonwealth of l'enn
ryh-ai.ia, Air. i lint as a inembi r of tlio Ferle
-d Union, the 1.; uislaiure of Fcirisydvania
ickiiowleilgcs the supremacy, and w i I diet r
mily submit to tlie authority of the General
Kjvcriiinent, as far as that authority is delega
ted by 'lie Constitution <,f tlie United States.
B it whilst they yield to this authority, wliei
xerciserl within C nstitiitioiud limits, they
'rust they will not be considered as acting
hostile to die Genera! Goyr rnment, when, as
guardians ol tlu; State Rights, they cannot
permit an infr ugeinent of those rights, by
m unconstitutional exercise of power in tin
United States.
Resolved, That,in a Government like that
‘>f rf ‘e United Slates, where there are pow
rs granted totlicCener.il Government, and
ghts reserved to the States, it is impossible,
iVotn Ums imperfection of language, ? 0 ( f< <!;>-

V AEiiiNQTON City, Dec. 17th, 1832.
Mu. Seine :
DsauEiy. —The joy which the President’s '*9
foge prc:ul over the countenance of every friond t >
the South has been completely dispelled by lis
Proclamation, Such a triumph to the Federalists,
has never been witnessed, and they make the most
of it. They say to the Southern people, noV where
is the Sovereignty of the tates? here is your
boasted idea of State interposition? Where is your
right to secede a right which even the Union party
ha-i held in reserve for the euro to the ir oppressions?
All swept away like a cob.web. The Prochm*-
ton says, the F*2orl Government lg * err, sad
i'-s will must be obeyed, howsver grossly it may vio
.at jl! o Constitution. Nay, a member of Concre**,
or a of your most violent Tariff men, hag been
aeard to aay, if Coflgrcs* were to pass a manlui?.
gicWMttw under the Proclamation, the Executive
wou.d bo bound to execute it and really if the
(.octrines of that instrument are to prevail wbe
docs not see that such is the fact. The Legislature
ul I ennaylvania, has unanimously parsed a re#olu.
u in highly approving the Proclamation, and de
claied to the President, that the who!* militia oi
the State wire at hia service, to put dqwn South.
Carolina, and consequently any other etate that ahull
(on e to resist the Tariff or secede from the Union,
this was to linve been expected, because th* Te
nt! tatea are fighting for their o w interest, to sun.
port their own protective system, and wbat it worse,
tiny will be putting down the S uth, wstli its own
money, money drawn from the labour of Souther*
planters, drawn by the very taxation against which
••cy complain, and used in arm* and ammunition to
make them submit to it. My Ood !la it possible
such doctrines will bo tolerated by the spiritof tha
Houth.it they are, we have fallen indeed upon avi.V.
