CIRCULAR
Of Mark A. Cooper to his Conslilotnlt.
We acknowledge the courtesy of Hon. Mark A
Cooper In sending ut a pamphlet of eight pnge*,
purporting to be a circular to his constituents. Wo
hoped to be able to spread it tills morning before
our readers, but the diversified intelligence by the
numerou* malls since our last, has deprived u* of
the power. We shall endeavor to do so to-morrow.
Mr. Cuoper therein fully explains his coutse in
Cnngress. Ho uvows his preference of Van Burcn
over Hnrrisnn, and in tho course of his observations
remarks— 1 "The nomination of General Hnrriion,
whether Ite bu an abolitionist or not, was nidressed
to those jteoplc, ami so they understand it: his suc
cess Is their promotion.” Mr. C. justifies Ids vote
for Mr. Blair, of ti e Globe, as Public Printer, in
preference to Metsr*. Gules Si Scnton, uf the Intel
ligtncer, and reiterates Ids determination to oppose
‘ lie chartering of a Bank by the Government.” and
to sup(-ott a reparation of the Government und the
Bunks, and the establishment of mi Independent
Treasury.” Oilier topics ore alluded toby him,
but we must pust|Mine our notice uf ihtftn.

From a portion of the Georgia Delegation in
Congress, to the Governor of Georgia, in rela

We have heretofore adverted tu the spirit of

country, that the proposition advanced in it, that
Congress hn* no consiitutionul power to maintain
the right* of our Stutr, under tho Constitution,
igninst the aggression of Maine, cannot he sus
tained.
Wn now c>>me to the considcnitlun of the second
ground, assumed hy the letter-writers, to justify
tlieit want of tho ordinary courtesy, which should
induce a representative, und* r*almost any eireum*
stunees, to present to the body pf which he I* a
member, the resolutions of tho Legislature of his
Stnto. We present it In their own language.
‘‘Secondly,as tnthe constitutional power of Con-
gras* to vest tl e proposed powers in n district or

proved hy mgument, not intriNluccd into llm state

ofthe di-ingeminut manner in wldeh the#) gentle
men have made up thestitemont nf tlo-lr case, and
wretny that it is so dune', ut to induce the lielef, that
the olij- ct of tho Legislature, *o fur fr«m prucut*
rig greater protection fur slave property, wns, to
lessen ihe right of tho 8la:o to it. We say this
mode of H-*-r:iuu may do fora Party Ptv-s, and
Wa are not surprised tu seethe truequ-stfun distort
ed by it.
We me n.»nro that all who intend to sustain
th# le<ter w rhera. right or wrong,in llie extraordina
ry stand they have token, will tabor to have it be
lieved that'tho only question rated between the
Legislature and six of out Representative* is, wheth.
Ar G- orgia, a* a State, has not a right to demand
fugitives from her justice and enforce thit demand,
m whether her rights depend upon the "sic volo,
sic jnhto” of Congress. It will suit tlo-it petty
purpose* of party, in aqite-tion where,hi truth, there
■hnultl Im no party,thu* to |iut forth an ad capfandum
assertion, but we respect ft) ly submit whsther such
course is not beneath the dignity ofthu Rap resent n-
live, wlmn addressing tlie Executive of thu State
he represents, on gt ave omistitutioimlqt|< slhint.
Now, whnt l* really the true IssueT The Con
s itutiun of the U. States hat declared that where
a party charged with n crime shall fie" from justlci
and bo found in another State, he shall on demand
of the Kxecutho of laid Slut", Im delivered tip tu

fleJ Sonieyent* after the adoption of the Can ti-
tutio i, Cotigiess with a view tocurry out this con-
stiiuti utnl |» ovislon, passed 'ho m-t-of 12th Febru-
nry, 1793. In the year 1339, our Legislature find
•Im |-r..viseint or this iTclT'iti-lequiire io (Re'ptfFprtse
cuntomplnted by them, and the Representatives of
the State ure nqu -sted hy theni to h ive tltu law
so amended ns to effect tlto desired n jeet.
In reply to till# request, ‘‘six R.-pre*untntlYr»"in
effect say—“Your desire is of such a character
that we decline even bringing it to tho notice of
Congress.”
The ground taken tn justify this high-handed
measure is, that it deprives th" State of her" high
-reign powet;" of " tier ri^ltt exclusive to re*
giilato und control the property ul' her citizens in
slaves.” Now, is this proposition clearly demon*
strntud hy the letter writers T The idea is, that tlto
State hy calling upon Congress to tnkinialn
li«r right * under ilia Constitution, is thereby de
prived of the power to assert those rights in any
other way. Lot us take u case not Unpr.-ccdented
in the annals of the pas'. Two nations, alien to
each other In every reaped, enter Into a treaty, and
wi It their assent, a third nqd friendly power becomes
so fur a party to the contract, as to guaranty the
faithful performance, hy the two high contracting
parti’*, of the treaty atipulattons, into whlrh.they
have respectively entered. One of the original
parlies to the contract, acts in bud f.d:h,attd refuses
compliance with ono of the articles of the treaty.
Are we to be told that the aggrieved stale surrend'-rs
any (rortion of hrr “ high sovereign power ” hy di
intituling, *• * right, the interposition of the third
power, for th- fulfilment of her stipul uion, to wit:
her <n erposirian to compel the perfurmancc, hy the
offending alate, of her treaty atipuUti •ms t We
respectfully contend, that the injured state bus n
perfect right to pursuo rilh-ir of two courses—de.
ntand justico directly from tho offending state,
require from tlto third party to the contndffj her
interposition; unJ in case of tit * refusal by both,
she has the right to take any step ngninsl either or
both of tho recusants, her honor orintere-t* may
didate Wo have considered thi* point in refer
ence to the conduct of two perfectly alien and foreign
poweis. We a-k, is there such a thing as llm
Constitution of the United Slates? Duct it make
no difference in the relative position of these Itutes?
Is the demon of nullification ever to be invoked ?
Tim Legislature sought in the fir t instance the
assertion uf tier Constitutional right# from Congress.
We ure infmmed by six of our representative* that
they decline using any effort to make tlwt b.ily do
what we contend to be their duty.
We cannot bat regret that at a limn like the pre

llm God of Unulu* to prosper the right in tho ton l
