PERIODICAL, ENTITED
The Georgia Academician,
AND
Southern Journal of Education,
TO BE DKVOTRD TO THE INTERE8T OF
ED UC%A TIOJ%*
lit our own Slate particularly,
And adtijded to the wants of Families and Communities.
By ROBERT •€. BROWN, of Scoltshoro'.
T HE Editor is of opinion, that philosophical education,
as it is generally conducted in our own Universities
and Academics, is too much confined to the communicati
on of knowledge, arid that too little attention is liestowcd
on the formation of tbo intellectual bobits*Df judging, rea
soning, and communication, by which alone, the prosecu
tion of science, nfier leaving school or college, and the bu
siness of active life, cun be successfully pursued. It is
therefore bis design, to conduct this work in reference to
the analysis of Ujp human mind, and to endeavor to for
ward the great object of lilting oftr sons and daughters for
practical life.
There being no work of ^Jie kind in the Southern coun
try, it is taken for granted tHat no one will question the pro
priety of endeavoring to establish an organ of pood, so
much needed. We adopt the sentiments of no party ; we
arc pledged to no society ; nor is it our wish to dictate as to
any mode or course to he pursued in general or particular
instruction. Our aim shull lie, to open tlie avenues of
thought on this important Riihject, nnd by our efforts, en
deavor to bless thfi’ountry.of our adoption, the land of our
children, the home that we love.
At a tune when manual labor schools nnd other respec
table institutions arc risen around us, it is reasonable to
expect, tlmt some mode of communication with regard to
the success or failure of any attempts, is desirable. Tetlch-
ers need a periodical, wherein they may express their
views, and from which they may learn the views of others,
and gather encouragement ami guidance in the arduous
task of instruction. It is our design to collect information
from every source, and make our paper an organ of com
munication between distunt teachers und the friends of
education in general.
Perhaps at no period of our history, could there be a
greater call for correct views on school hooks and appara
tus, necessary to facilitate the progress of the pupil. Wc
will, therefore, endeavor to supply our columns with res
pectable reviews of nmnuals, and information with regard
POLITICAL.
toull the machinery of.cducation.
That our paper may interest every thinking man, and be
un inmate of the family circle, it will embrace Agricultural
and Mechanical Essays, Polite Literature, essays on Mo
ral am! Phy sical Science, Biography, original and selected
Poetry, Strictures on the best inodes of Education, Disci
pline of schools, notices of Literary institutions and Litera
ry works; in fine, any subject cumulated to interest the
planter, the teacher, mother, futhcr. guardian and student.
Disputed points in Politics or Religion, shall bo entirely
excluded, nor is the Academician ever to ho the vehicle of
malevolent insinuations or ungenerous aspersions. It
shall he the constant aim of the Editor, to unitC all con
flicting interests und views, in the noble object of training
children in the ways of wisdom, and diffusing a taste for
literature, the arts and sciences, which tver tends to make
a happy and enlightened people.
Advertisements of Teachers, Schools and Books, will
he inserted at the usual rates, but this elnss of advertise
ments only, ns it is intended to muke the Academician sub
serve the purposes of Education und general information.
'Plie paper will be published semi-monthly, at Three
Dollars per annum, payable in advance, ana will contain
eight pages, on a good type, on the plan of the American
Fnriner r 2-I numbers making a volume, which will he ac
companied with art elegant title page and general index.
It is contemplated tlmt the lirst nil tuber will be issued in
November next. Aliy person forwarding to the Editor
subscriptions for five papers, shall receive the sixth copy
gratis*
Communications addressed (post paid,) to Robert C.
Brown, Scottsboro’, Geo., will lie promptly attended to.
O 3 Editors willing to further the cause of Education in
our State, will confer a favor by publishing this Prospec
tus,and the favor will he reciprocated in any wuy desired.

FROM T11K ACOUSTA CHROSICI.r.
MR. MCDUFFIE’S SPEECH.
Delsrend in Athens, Georgia, August 7th, at the Public
Dinner gieen to him by the friends of Steite. Rights, us-
scudded there from all parts of the State, »n attendance
on the College Commencement.
The following Toast having been given—
“ Tho Hon. George McDuffie, our distinguished
guest—11 is unbending integrity, his ceaseless vigi-
lance over Southern interests, his untiring opposition
to unequal laws and iincoustitotionid measures, uuu
his triumphant vindication of Stnte Rights, entitle him
to tho respect and gratitude of the South, and a liettrt-
wnrin welcome to his native State—”
After the cheering had subsidedpftlr. McDuffie
rose and addressed the company ns follows:
I am utterly incapable, fellow-citizens, of giv
ing utterance to the deep and overwhelming sen
sibility with which lam affected by the very kiud
and flattering sentiment just nnnounced, and the
still more flattering indications of hearty appro
bation, with which it lias been received by this
enlightened and patriotic assemblage of* freemen.
A variety of circumstances concur, to give an
intense interest to the present occasion ; and if I
should he so fortunate as to be an humble instru
ment in bringing about a cordii^ union of senti
ment and of action, between my native and my
adopted State, in a crisis which so eminently de
mands it, I shall recur to this, in fulnre, as to ono
of the happiest incidents of my life. •
Indeed, when I look hack to the eventful occur
rences of the two last years, am) behold S. Ca
rolina, with an heroic devotion to the rights and li
berties of the whole South, throwing herself, al
most as a forlorn hope, into the breach which tt
gigantic despotism had made in the sacred harri
ers of tho constitution and of justice—waging the
unequal contest without the co-operation or coun
tenance of a single Stale, cVen in the South, and
under the unkind and unnatural denunciations of
some of their legislative and executive authori
ties; when I reflect, that in the most gloomy pe
riod of the struggle, the first cheering voice of
encouragement from without her own limits, which
animated South Carolina to persevere in her glo
rious struggle for every thing dear to freemen,
proceeded Irom this very piade, and in part, from
this very assembly ; and when 1 behold assem
bled around me, so large n portion of the intelli
gence and chivalry of Georgia, breathing the
same sentiments, nnd actuated by the same prin
ciples, for which South Carolina was prepared to
make the last sacrifice of heroic patriotism, I can
not hut exclaim, with a proud satisfaction, " this
is my own, my nativq land.”
Though, in the too partial estimate which you
seem to have formed of my efforts to vindicate
the rights, and maintain the liberties of the South,
you are pleased to ascribe to my public labors a
value, which I regret they do not possess, yet 1
will not be guilty of the effcctation of disclaim
ing the integrity of purpose, for which you give
me credit, as a public mail. It is, indeed, a
source nf the highest consolation to me, that
1 can confidently affirm, before my friends and my
enemies, in tfie face of the world, and in the pre
sence of my God, that in the whole course of
that contest which it has fallen to my lotto carry
on, lor the last six years, against a system of le
gislation essentially unjust, oppressive, and des
potic, 1 have never been actuated liy a single pur
pose of selfish ambition ; but have at all times
been prepared to sacrifice at the shrine of duty
and of patriotism, every allurement of ambition,
and every hope of political preferment. So es
sentially do 1 believe the prosperity, the liberty,
and indeed the very existence of the Southern
States, to be involved m the great principles for
which we have been contending, that 1 believe
those principles cannot be too often imptessed'
upon the people of the Southern States, nor can
they be too often reminded of th< peculiar rela
tion in which they stand to the dominant States of
the confederacy. It would lie a fatal error, fel
low-citizens, to suppose, that the recent adjust
ment qf the tariff has removed all the causes of
npprclf nsiun for our rights nnd liberties. On tho
contrary, when wc look at the entiro proceedings
of Congress, during its Inst session, in relation to
that measure, and attentively consider the prin
ciples officially avowed in the progress nf those
proceedings, it is but too apparent, that the
Southern States never have had greate Accasiop,
than at this moment, for maintaining their sove
reign rights in their undiminished vigor, and
watching the movements of the Federal Govern
ment, and of the majority which controls it, with
unsleeping vigilance. What, then; let us inquire,
is the true state of the controversy, between the
Sovereignty of the States, and the protended
sovereignty aud assumed omnipotence of Con
gress ?
On the one hand it is contended, thaAhe States
entered into the Federal compact, as sovereign
communities ; that each State still retained its
sovereignty, notwithstanding the powers granted
to the Federal Government ; and that when the
members of this government usurp powers not
granted, each Statp has an inherent right, nbso
lutely inseparable from its sovcreignty,»tofintcr-
pnse and arrest, within its own limits, (he pro
gress of the usurpation, and thus preserve The
compact from violation. These simple proposi
tions, sell evident to every mind capable o^ com*
prehending the import of the terntl used to ex
press them, constitute the doctrines of State Sove
reignly and Nullification—the fundamental secu
rities of freedom in a federative system of govern
ment, without which, it would be the very worst
of all the forms of despotism and oppression.—
On the other hand, our adversaries contend that
the functionaries of the Federal Government are
the exclusive and final judges of the extont of
the powers conferred upon them by that very
Constitution, which the Sovereign States of the
Confederacy established for the special purpose
of imposing limitations upon those powers—
which amounts to’nothing less than Hint a major
ity of Congress and of the other departments of
the Federal Government, have a charier from
Heaven, paramount to that by which they were
created, authorizing them to do what they please
and enjoining upon the Slates passive obedience
to every act of usurpation and tyranny, which an
ambitious nr an interested majority, may choose
to perpetrate.
limitations| of the Constitution, nnd may yet
transcend them with impunity; and that the States
who formed that Constitution; have sovereign
[rowers and sovereign rights, without sovereign
means of preserving them from encroachment and
violation. The right of State interposition is an
original, underived, inherent attribute of sove
reignty ; aud nothing can he mqro absurd than In
derive it from the Federal Constitution, unless it
he to deny its existence altogether. That man is
as utterly ignorant of tho import of the terms he
uses, as lie is pf our scheme of government, who
supposes that any anveroigh power can be derived
from a conatitutioual compact. It is a pre-Cklst-
iug sovereign power that forms constitutions and
governments, and those constitutions are nothing
mure than organic laws, prescribed by that sove
reign power, for regulating and controlling those
governments. The terms constitutional and un-
constitutional, in the federal sense, are as utterly
inapplicable tu this rigli^ of State interposition,
ns they are to the ri^lit of a Stale to protect the
propeiiy and lives of its citizcrjp, by cxeacising
the high sovereign power of inflicting cljiithl pun
ishment un (lie perpetrators •q^Wbhcry and mur
der. So obviously inseparable are .Sove
reignty and the right of State Interposition, that
the more tntilligent advocates of a supreme con
solidated government, boldly and aunnlstently de
ny that the Statgs are sovereign. As 1 regard
thy as the real question at issue—as tho hinge
upon which the whole controversy turlfs—I will
take leave to present some views und ilhfstrntions,
calculated to give u distinct idea of wnat consti
tutes sovereignty, and to shew by arguments, en
tirely free from all metaphysical refinement, (lliSt*
the Slates are not only sovereign, put are the ^ *
ly sovereign powers known to our political syn-.

This doctrine reduces the Federal Constitu
tion to a mere dead letter, utterly deprived of all
power to restrain Ihe usurpations of the govern
ment. In plain words, it makes the Federal Go
vernment paramount to the sovereign Slates which
created it, and the acn of Congress paramount
to the Constitution, from which alone they can
derive any rightful authority. These consequen
ces cannot be avoided, it the whole civil and mil
itary power of the Federal Government may he
rightfully exerted to enforce any act of Congress,
whether constitutional or not*, and if the States,
who are the sovereign parties to the compact of
Union, have no rightful power to itrterpose and
enforce its limitations. ’1 hat the Stales do pos
sess this power, is not only demonstrable, but
self-evident, if it he true that they arc sovereign.
1 ask nothing more front any intelligent adversa
ry, titan that'he will admit that the Stales arc
sovereign, and that they adopted the Federal
Constitution ns States, and in their highest sove
reign capacity. Fur I hold il to be impossible
for any man who admits this, and who realizes tho
import of the term sovereignty, to deny that it is

of the Federal Government wouid be just as sub
jcct'to punishment, for resisting the sovereign
will of Georgia, within her territorial jurisdiction,
as the humblest citizen.
I will state a case, suggested by the history of
her relations with the Federal Government, calcu
lated tS exhibit, iu a strong practical point of
view, the nbsurdity of denying the*Sovereignly
of the States, and of churning that attribute for
tho Federal Government. Jt will ho remembered
that some few years ago, l’residcnt Adams claim
ing to act under nn obligation higher than human
declared, that if tire Stale of Georgia should per
lipaciously continue to exercise legislative au
thority over her own territory, ho would ptit
down bo dangerous a pretension, by the military
arm of the Federal Government. Now, suppose
an army of Federal mercenaries had been march
ed into Georgia, to settle the delicate questhm of
jurisdiction by the very discriminating arbitrament
of the sword, and that, to give dignity to the pro
ceeding, (ho President had marched at the head
of the army as Commandcr-in-Chicf, with his
Cabinet Ministers anil the Federal Judges ns his
Staff, nnd tho members of Congress as Iris body
guard. Suppose, moreover, that Governor Troop
had had the treasonous.audncilv not to.qnail he
fore the saprm, and that the “ Hancock Troop’
had actually presented themselves, in military ar
ray, in the august presence ol these potent judges
of constitutional nnd international law. Let os
further suppose, that the Present, with tho ad
vice of his stalf, had wantonl^irected his body
guard to fire upon the patriotic militia of Hancock,
and that, in obedionco to this order, a number qf
the citizens of Georgia had been killed. What,
then, would have been tho legal predicament of
of these functionaries of a governiqgpt, claiming
to he Sovereign, even within the limits of Geor
gia? 1 pul it to evefy jurist in this State, and in
the United States, to'(tly whether every one of
them would not h;ivc been guilty of murder, by
the laws of Georgia ; and whclher til* authorities
of that State would not have had an undoubted
constitutional and lawful right, to arrest, arraig:
try, condemn, and in form of law—[here surno
gentlemen exclaimed, “hang the l’residcnt?
and Mr. McDuffie continued,] hang the whole
Federal Government, Executive, Judicial, and Le
gislative, without the possibility of any lawful in-
tfrponitinn to save tlicoi» thus exhibiting the bin-
nulnr spectacle of wwiverwhelniinfi nn«l oninipo-
u*nf Sovereignly, hyjjtily Annihilated ny ono ol
its subjofct provinces:
But the standing answer to nil those arguments
is, that lire will of ihe majority must prevail, even
if it he in violation of the Constitution, and that
it is tho duty of the States to submit tn the usur
pation, precisely in the same manner as if it were
| a constitutional exercise of power.
Now, fellow-citizens, let us inquire for a mo
•lavet. In all that great claai of measures, out of
which has grown the existing conflict betweent he
manufacturing and the plantingittates of the Union,
this sacred majority, whose sovereign wit! the
Southern .States are called upon to bow down and
worship, hake an interest diametrically opposed to
that Of the Southern people. Every import duty
which is imposed upon those articles which the
manufacturing States produce, aud the planting
States import in exchange for their agricultural
staples, is a bounty to the industry of the former,
and a burthen on the industry of the latter. This
is strictly true, even when the duties are imposed
exclusively wit(T a view to revenue; and at two-
thirds of the Federal revenue is raised by duties
on this very class of articles, itj is obviously tho
inter At o0ihe dominant majority, to oppress the
planting minority, not only % imposing excessive
duties, but by inventing every possible expedient
fox sqamlering the public revenue^ It is, then,
this very mnjdrity, principally composa^Of a peo
ple remarkable fu(their dcfption to gain, and wlm
have a direct pecuniary intcrAt in the oppression
of the planting Htalcsi that we are told by SdUth-
arn statesmen, have the supreme and uncontrolla
ble right, under the Federal Constitution,of dging
whatever they may deem to be constituttooal,
though, in fact, iwliq unjust, nuennstitutionaCand
oppressive! Yes, gantlemen, f have heard a reqvre-
sentative in Congress Trim the Southern States de
clare, that he believed thgH’arifl 1 *of ISSC to be
unjust, uncoriktituli&nqhXR oppressive to the
people of the South, and yet*tftat he would vote
for un act to enforce it upon South Carolina, at
the point of tho bayonet—thus, though sworn ‘‘.to
support tho Constitution of the United States,"
becoming an’avowed accomplice in its violation,
nnd committing the citizens of a sister Stare to
the tender mercies of a military invasion, for no
other offence,than yielding obedience to the sove
reign power tM/hich they owed allegiance, when
that power wWinterposed, by his own admission,
to rescue thoso cjtizens the oppressive oper
ation of tm unjust and unconstitutional act of
Congress! To (uch monstrous and revolting con
sequences, disguise it qfwejnay,.are we necessa
rily led by the doctrine whic™denies Hie right of
State interposition, nnd affirms that the will of the
majority is supreme in all cases. A more impo
tent contrivance, n more delusive mockery cannot
be conceived, than a written Federal Constitution,
if the functionaries rtf the Government, created
by that Constitution, liavc the exclusive right of
fixing the limits oftheirown power. All will agree
in terms that the Federal Government is a govern
ment of specified powers, and limited authority!
arid yet 1 defy any man to draw a practical diacri-
mination between “ a government without llmita*
tion of powers," and a government which is tha gs
exclusive nnd final judge of its own authority^
It is admitted by almost every southern politician,
that the Federal Government is the mere creature
of the^Sovcrcign Stales of the Confederacy, anil
and yat many of them reason about it, as if it
were a eonsolidalcd government, and draw all their
analogies from Governments of that kind. ErA
in saehjrorvcrnmcnts, extending over a small terri
tory, and embracing a population of homogenona
interests, it has been the groat object of law-givers
Id all ages, so to organize nnd diBtributo political
power, as that no one class, or combination of
classes, constituting a majority of the Stats,
-should have tho power olxrftjrSssiag the minority.
And to this end, all free governments bare been
so constituted, that each of tho great rival inter-
ests>of the State, should be ablo to protect itself
gainst the injustic^and oppression of the rest, hy
some reserved power similar to Nullification. But
government, embracing within its scope the tegh
ritories and people of twenty-four distinct sove
reign States, of various cljtpateSj productions and
pursuits, and having interests directly opposed to
each other, almost to the whole extent of their an
nual iflcojne, which are liable lo%o vitally affected
by the legislation of that Government, would be
ihe most intolerable of all lyjpnnies, if the sepa
rate sovereigntiefbad not the power of protecting
the separate interests of the Confederacy. That
they have that power, I have briefly attempted to
show from the very nature and origin of our fede
ral system, and shall now proceed to confirm my
reasoning," by authorities which all profess to re
verence, howover indifferently the practice of tome
may conform to their professions.
The celebrated resolutions adopted by (he Le
gislature of Virginia in 1798, and the itill more
celebrated report subsequently made by Mr. Madi
son in support of those resolutions, have been al
most universally received in the Southern States
as the political creed of the republican party.—
Even now, tho most bitter reviler of the doctrine
of Stale interposition, as maintained by South Ca
rolina, will tel? you, with a grave countenance, and
a clear conscience, that ho fully recognizes the
doctrines of these resolutions, and of that report.
If ycru will take up these documents, and aak him
if he believes with Mr. MadiSon, and lip Virginia
Legislature, that “ in caso of a deliberate, palpa
ble and dangerous exercisewtf powers not granted
(by the Federal Bonstitulion,) it is th^ighl and
