ea<!b iSiau:, convened according to tl»e laws
of the respective States, is another strong il*
lustration of the mixed character c»f the Gen
eral Government. Other argumcr • nd facts,
sir, might he adduced in support of the posi
tion mat the General Government, is in its
character, a mixed government, composed of
the principles «»f confederacy and democracy ;
nndifso.it follows that the argument in fa
vor of nullification as necessarily incident to a
pure confederacy must fall to the ground. It
is contended in favor of the doctrine of nulli
fication that “ all sovereigns are of necessity
equal," and thotfifow, il» being sover
eign and independent, there cannot exist in any
tuner government a power greater, and a pow
er more perfectly sovereign, than exists in
the State, it is but necessary to advert to the
Constitution to settle this question. The pow
ers of the General Government art* expressly
declared in that instrument, and all the sover
eignty not yielded in that instrument to the
General Government is assuredly retained to
Ibe States—and each government is sovereign
nnd independent, so far as the power in the
one instance has been yielded or retained in
the other. And surely the citizens of each
Slate owe the same allegiance to I he General
Government in the legitima'e exercise ot its
Sovereign power—and should entertain as high
a veneration for that government, and yieid
ns perfect obedience to the exercise of that
sovereignty, as should be felt towards the
Sovereignty of a State. The State Govern
ments a. id the government of the U States in
the exercise of tbeir sovereign powers—is
each entitled to the confidence and the support
of the citizens. I would never quietly yield
to the General Government a power not dele
gated. Yet, sir, submission to the exercise ot
the delegated powers, is so essentially necessa
ry to the preservation of the Union, and tin
happiness of the people, that obedience is one
.of the first duties of a good citizen. And s r,
in advancing these doctrines, 1 am free from
•yielding up any of the rights of the State; it is
the last thing sir, that is to be surrendered—
for by that surrender, our General Govern*
ment would pass into a consolidated govern
ment A greater evil in my opinion, could not
befall our country. Yet, sir, I conceive tha-
there is a vast difference between that doctrim
which protects the States in all their rights
and then stops—and that doctrine which un
der the pretence of State rights, aims at res
cuing from the general government expressly
deligated powers. It is under such spurious
pretenses of doing great good to our neighbors
ami friends, that we prepare them to begross-
Jy imposed on. Let tbe States and the peo
pie of the States, be protected in tbeir sover
eign and political rights—but do not indue*
them to embrace false notions, and espouse
doctrines, which it may perhaps require a for
feiture of tbeir lives, and fortunes to expiate.
Then, sir, the doctrine “that all sovereign
are of necessity equal" when used in reference
to the doctrine of nullification, has no sort of
application; for the state governments and the
general government, are both sovereign, and
yet that sovereignty does not conflict—and
therefore it isoerfectlv clear, that the allegi
ance due by the citizen to the State govern
tnent does not impair the allegiance which is
due by the same citizen to the general govern
ment. But it is contended again that “the di
vision of power by compact is destroyed by a
right claimed and exercised by either to be the
exclusive ioterpeier of the instrument."—and
bence if the constitution of the general govern
merit has given to the federal judiciary the
power of determining on the const Um lonaluy
of a right claimed under the Constitution of
tbe United States or the laws of Congress—
that the exercise of such a power would *wal
low up all the rights of the states, and change
our government into a consolidation The
danger of such a power resting in the general
government is one question on which it is
not now necessary to discuss—but that the
Constitution has given to the Federal Court,
its jurisdiction, and that every question that
can legally come before that court must be
there determined, is one of those truths not to
be controverted, so long us any reliance is to
be placed on the constitution itself.
It is contended again si', that the reserved
rights to the States fairly embraces tbe doc
trine of nullification It seems to me perfect
ly clear that the slates, when they had vested
in the general government certain specific and
•numerated powers, and had retained to them
selves all the sovereignty which they had not
delegated, could not thereby have intended to
reserve to themselves any or all the powers ot
soverigoty they had yield to the general go
vernment, for such must be the process of
reasoning, which would warrant tne conclusion
that the doctrines of nullification is reserved
to the stales—a doctrine, sir, which if reserv
ed to tbe states makes a single State superior
in sovereignty to the whole——and can arrest at
pleasure the most wholesome and constitution
al law, “until Congress either repeals the laws
or obtains an explicit grant of the power which
is denied by the state, by submitting an amend
orient to the several States." When the doc
trine is pushed thus tar, then, Sir, disunion will
have commenced her work. Collisions be
tween tbe ministerial officers of the state and
general governments will take place The
son wd» he arrayed against the lather. Broth
er will he ready to oppose brother. And a
scene of horror and blood shed .will once more
crimson the green fields that were our fathers
glory.
But. Sir, it may be asked, are w-e, the peo
pl^ of Georgia, to fold our arms and seal our
lips, when we are conscious that our just rights
have been .violated by acts of the federal pm.

we will remonstrate, we will in firm, but re

ance is no longer tolerable, and until the sepa
ration of these happy states shall become the
least of evils—then, Sir, and not till then,

connects us. throw ourselves upon our natural'
rights and in the spirit of true revolution put

eisive act? No one pretends that the injustice
done the South, great as it is, by the combina
tion of the Eastern and Western States, would
justify us in au act of revolution. But say the
gentlemen. Georgia, by a resolution of the
General Assembly, passed December, 1328.
which has been deposited in tbe archives ot the
Senate of the United States, has assumed a
stand from which she cannot now depart “by
memorial and remonstrance, without compro-
mitting her honor and dignity as a sovereign
and independent State,”—leaving a clear in
ference that Georgia is to rest quietly under
ii«r oppression, or that the next wot wilt ou«
of open and violent resistance, and the latter
construction of the two, is far the most reason
able, if the signs of the times, or the temper ol
this debate will serve as any criterion by which
gentlemen’s motives are to be determined.—
When, Mr. Speaker, 1 look around and sec the
gentlemen who arc opposing the passage oi
the resolutions on your table, I am at a loss to
imagine to what extent party feelings are to
carry us in thi3 State. If gentlemen are can
did when they urge as an objection to the pas
sage of the resolutions from Senate, that the
Legislature of 1828, has forever precluded a-
ny turthcr expression of feeling by the Legis
lative authority of this State—That we are
bound down from that time henceforth, and ne
ver again to be permitted to inform the people,
what we believe to be to tbeir interest to know.
That we are never again by the mild measures
of reason and argument, to urge our rights,
and redress our wrongs—Surely, Sir, that le
gislature has exercised a power—more abso
lute. in its character, than any man is willing to
acknowledge on this floor. Mr. Speaker, the
opposition made to these resolutions as but a
continuance of that system of proscription
which has been rigidly adhered to by the Joan
nant party in this State, for several years.—
One prevailing feature of the Troup party to
wards their opponents, has been on all occa
sions to misrepresent their political character
They have never failed to suppress any meas
ure introduced by tbe C.ark parly in thisTIouse,
•>ince they had the power that was calculated
to give a fair expression of their political creed.
Why should this ho done. Sir? I- it a fact that
the Troup party have much to dread from the
people of our State, being correctly informed
of those political principles that do govern the
Clark paity. ? IfSir, the doctrines of the Clark
party are incorrect, let them go before the
people—the people have.a right to know them,
and they ought to know them, and those who
k -ep them from knowing them are their wor~t
enemies. The friend* of the resolutions are
willing that the people should understand
them, and if fairly condemned, to share their
fate. But. Sir, they arc mort.fied when their
motives are misrepresented, and their princi
ples perverted—for the double purpose of in
juring them and misleading public opinion. —
But, say gentleman, the preamble to those re
solutions is a base slander on the most patriot
io and talented son of Georgia. The preamble
mentions no man’s name. It certainly aliude-
to the fact »f there being visionary politicians
in our own State, who maintain the doctrine
*tfnullification. And Sir. am I to he foi«l, ih-ji
it is treason to condemn a doctrine that tend-
to tbe instruction of every thing that is sacred
to a palnot, and sacred to the memory of our
fathers, not maintained by tbe Con-titu'ion of
our country—and directly at war with the m-
-tructivo lessons of experience, merely be
cause (hat doctrine has received the sancti u
of one of our fellow citizens, who, however
justly distinguished for his literary attainments,
iias never yet established, as 1 honestly believ*-,
a ju*t claim cither to political wisdom or pun
iv of intention wih the people of Georgia. 5 *—
But, Sir, on the other hand, if Col Troup was
all, as regards wisdom, virtue, and patriotism
that hi* friends would hav^- us believe him-
then they should be the last persons that would
shruik from an investigation of his principles
What Mr. Speaks.', has Col. Troup or his
friends to dread from the preamble of the re
solutions upon your tabic if he can maintain,
and convince the people of this State, that the
doctrine of nullification is correct But say
gentlemen, Col. Tronp’s letter does not con
tain the nullifying principles. Why then, Sir,
all this restlessness? Why are gentlemen ou
ny of his friends on this Moor and elsewhere
and that their devotion to lhe roan has become
so completely incorporated in their happiness
and pride of sentiment, that to tonch his rai
ment even by way of admonition or friendly re
monstrance is regarded as *n unpardonable and
flagrant violation of decoium, propriety, and
right Indeed, Sir, no min who takes pleas-
ure in the happiness of hit acquaintances, can
voluntarily mar their peaci. But, whilst I will
cheerfully indulge the Troop party to the full
benefit of all the pleasure and happiness they
derive from that kind of adoration they so
fohbfutly pay their leader—they must not
attempt to ui*iko me love him. I never can
do so Sir, so long as I believe that 1 can see in
his political course, principles that are alarming
to the prosperity of the country. Sir, this let
ter, to which allusion has been made, embo
dies in itself more talent, yet more danger than
any production, that I have ever seen from
his pen. It carries in its face all that the Caro
linian would ask to sustain him around his nul
lifying dinner. Yes, Sir, the features of that
monster that is to stalk forth among our citi
zens, at the bidding of sotie muster spirit to
drench in blood the homes «f our fathers and
the tenements of our wives, is to be seen in
that letter, quietly resting in the arms of “jus
tice." So mild is the reasoning, so pursuasive
the language, that you would almost imagine
the author to have been touched by the same
patriotic inspiration of the ‘ Father of his
Country,” in his Farewell Address. But, mark
me, Mr. Speaker, there is a principle m that
letter that has not yet arrived at malurity,—
when (hat time shall have arrived, may it be
my late to rest in the silent tomb. And whilst
on this subject, wbat is the language of the
Father of our Country. 5 * In his Iasi address,
says Washington. I speak to you in the disinte
rested warnings of a parting friend who can
possibly have no persona} motive to bias bis
course. And what. Sir. was the language ot
this truly illustrious man under such circum
stances? It wa**, ‘that the unity of govern
ment which constitutes you one people is now
dear to you—it is justly so, for «it is a main
pillar in the edifice of your real independence,
(he support of your tranquility at home, your
peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperi
tv; of that very liberty which you so highly
prize. But as it is easy to foresee that from
d fferent causes, and from different quarters,
much pains will be taken many artifices em
ployed, to weaken in your minds the con vie
lion of this truth; as this is the point in your
political fortress against which the batteries of
internal enemies will be most constantly and
actively (though often covertly and iusiduous
lv) directed; it is of infinite momeut, that you
should properly estimate the immense value
of your National Union to your collective and
individual happiues*; that you should cherish,
a cordial, habitual, and immoveable attach
ment to if-—accustoming yourselves to think
and speak of it as of the palladium of your po-
■itical safety and prosperity; watching for its
preservation with a jealous anxiety—discoun
tenancing whatever may suggest even a suspi
cion that it can in any event be abandoned, aud
indignantly frowning upon the it:iwmng of
every attempt to alienate any portion of our
country from the rest, or enfeeble the sacred
lies which now Jink together the various
parts.”
Such Sir, is the parting admonition of one
to whom al! unite in ascribing every attribute
of huma perfection of which our nature is ca
pable, and yet the opinion of such a man is
nothing, when ambiti<m or mistaken zeal had
so far got the better of one of our own citizens,
•‘that he was induced to advise thrt we having
exhausted the argument should stand to our
arms”—and another whose name I will not
couple with this son ol Georgia—that it “was
hi<:h nme for the South 'o calculate the value
of tbe Union ” Such sentiments are not cal
led for by the nature of our wrongs, and it is
the duty of all to suppress them before they
take root in the public mind—That we should
frown down every attempt to alienate one por
tion of our country from the rest; and cultivate
among our citizens no other sentiments than,
“united we stand, divided we full ”
When, Sir, the object of this Union shall
have faded—when the object of the framers
ot our Federal Constitution shall have become
prostrated at the shrine of ambition, avarice,
or cup dity, then let us, like freemen, poise
• ■urselves upon the magnanimity and justice of
our cause, looking to the God of Nature and
an approving conscience to sustain it* in that
heart rending and perilous conflict. Yes Sir,
let us be cautious that we the people of the
South are not the aggressors Let us endure
yet awhile longer, and when resistance shall
become necessary,—let os on the principle of
our revolutionary struggle openly avow, and
fearlessly maintain our rights. But, Sir, I pro
test now, and before the people of my native
Stale, declare, that it is my settled conviction,
that the insidious and false doctrines that have
been promulgated, if they are not at once sup
pressed—aud th*. ir authors held to a proper
accountability, will undermine and prostrate
the fairest experiment, and the nv»st perfect
syst* m of civil anid religious liberty that the
world has ever see»* Sir, it is to preserve this
*y*tem that I vote for the resolutions on vour
t ;rhl ' *
this door, at one moment vind eating the doc
trines of Carolina, and at the next moment,
serving as a shield to the doctrines contained
in Col. Troup’s letter. 5 * Why, let mo ask, if
this letter of Col. Troup’s does not contain the
Carolina doctrine should gentlemen with such
unn cessary warmth vindicate Carolina? I
cannot imagine for my life Sir. why it is that
the friends of Col. Troup, arc also the friends
of Carolina, unless the avowed doctrines ot
the one. are the concealed principles of the
other. But, since the name of Col. Troup and
his celebrated letter have been introduced in
this debate by his friends, with the view of eu*
logizing the one and complimenting the other,
the House will indulge me with one or two rc
flections The letter of Col Troup, it will be
remembered, was in answer to an invitation to
a dinner got up in South Carolina for the a*
vowed purpose of maintaining the Carolina
principles.
To this dinner it is not presumable any in
dividual however distinguished, would have
been invited, who was in principle opposed to
the object of the dinner. The known excite
ment that was raging in South Carolina at that
rime*-and the great doubt as to its issue, ren
ders it almost certain in my mind, that when
the invitation was given Col. Troup, he was
supposed friendly to the object. But. Sir, it
seems useless to enter into speculations on
»lie matter, when rve take into consideration

Tr up regretting that he could not attend a
dinner in South Carolina; hut sends Carolina
his sovereign approbation, that “Whatever the
people of South Carolina in convention shall
resolve for their safety, interest, and happi
ness, will be right, and none will have the rigid
to question it." Now, Sir I always regre tb*>
necessity of mentioning Col Troup’s name- London Dec 7 —The following appoint

that the Government ol Arau had applied to
Berne for assistance, hastened their rising. At
