- \ i > 0 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. verrimenf. I answer, no—We will petition, we will remonstrate, we will in firm, but re spectfiil language, appeal to their sense of jus tice. vy^ will k&gfrbe Lbeir magnanimity, we will convince their judgment, we will shame their cupidity—-and after all, should the patriotic fire that burnt in their fathers’ bosom have become cxtioct, and we shall h.*ve in.lured until stiff-r- 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, eh. uld we hurst the bond of Union that ruw connects us. throw ourselves upon our natural' rights and in the spirit of true revolution put to the teat all that is dear to conscience ami to But bus (he time arrived for this de- flal respect for tbe feelings and opinions ofma- liberty.; 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 lito 'IViuct nf Tn np •»! ♦ Kn l«*i« i il*-/■ out! Dinner in Washington City—connected with the Toast of Mr. Hayne, drank on tbe same occasion. The next we hear from those dis tinguished men (for so I am disposed to re gard them,) is that Gen. Ilavne is figuring at dinner speeches in South Carolina, and Col 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 simply because I entertain the highest perso-1 meats are we understand certain:—James Kempt, Master General of the OrdInat»ce«--t- rish, Lord Chancellor, Lord P<onkett; Chief Justice of Common Pleas, Mr. Doherty; Chiei Baron, Mr. Joy; Attorney General, Mr. Penne father; Solicitor General, Mr Crampton; King’s Sergeant, the well known Catholic bar rister, Mr. O’Laughlan We believe there is little doubt that the ar rangement which we were the first to an nounce, has taken place, with respect to the retirement of Sir Anthony Hart, and the eleva tion of Lord Plunkett to the place of Lord Chancellor of Ireland Mr. Joy will probably succeed Lord Plunkett in the chief seat of the Irish Common Pleas, and be replaced in his of fice of Attorney-General by Mr. Pgnnefather. Il ls Generally understood that Air. Doherty retains tbe Solicitor-Generalship. Brussels, Nov. 28.—A British Cabinet! mes senger, who arrived here the day before yes terday from London, with despatches for the Provisional Government, set out again yester day at noon, with despatches for London. Some Journals have announced a battle near Venloo between our troops and the enemy —— This news is false. Our troops have taken a position, but no engagement has occurred^ We find the King of Holland has accepted the armistice p opsed by the five Powers, and J gave orders on the 23d and 24tli to the Dutch troops to suspend hostilities by sea anil land, to raise the blockade every where, and toe- vacuate all the places which were not occu pied by the Dutch before the treaty ot the 30; h of May 1824. The City of Antwerp is among the number. Measures will be immediately taken to reg ulate the frontiers The Belgian and Dutch Governments will each send two Commission ers to the spot. These Commissioners are not yet known. Switzerland—Swilz'rland is in a state ol Revolution. The population of several can tons have risen in arms to demand Reforms. Berne, the strong hold of the Swiss Aristocra cy, has been entered by 12,000 armed peas ants, who have deposed the Government. Zu rich and Arab are also surrounded by the peo ple in arms. What men demand with arms in their hands, must, of course, be graded, partic ularly in a country where there i* no standing ; ,rmv. This revolution under the very nose ol Metiernich must be a bitter draught In case of a war with France, the Berne Aristocracy will no longer have the power to betray their country by conniving at the violation of its neutrality by Austria.—Ckron. From the Alcssager des Chambres Dec 4. Paris, Dec .3,—There is at tins moment great agitation in Switzerland. According to the Nouvelleste Voudois and the Aviso, the Cantons and Gians and Tessin have risen in a mass, and have taken arms. Numerous popu lar assemblages have met at Zurich, Usier and Weinfelden to demand reforms. The old- Swiss standard (red, green and yellow) is hoist j ed in many places A great number of pla cards every where call the people to liberty. According to a private letter from Geneva of 25ih November, 12,000 armed Peasants have entered Berne and deposed the Govern rnent. Zurich and Arau are surrounded by pi>rtp!s in urms. Private Correspondence from Lausanne of November 28.—At Zurich the inhabitants ot the borders of the Lake have repaired in a bo dy to the chief city to watch over the Com : it tee appointed to reform the odious Constitu tion ot 1814 At Arau 4,000 armed men of ’he 28 insurgent districts entered the city on the 25th, and invested the Town House. The 'free ol Liberty has been planted in most of the parishes, and the people demanded (he Consti tution of 1798, with reform. The people hearing that the Government ol Arau had applied to Berne for assistance, hastened their rising. At Lucerne it is expected that a r volution will be accomplished without resistance. The pe titioners demand an equal representation for all parts of the canton, and the Government is convinced of the necessity of yielding to the wishes of Ihe people. At Berne troops are ready torn-arch against the people of Arau. It is said, how* ver, that the people ofEmmenlha! have resolved to en force their petitions, which have neglected, in e agitation march of the German*, which will give an op^ port unity tt» cry ont against the pretentions ot the French; Aurlria and Russia haw couclq- cluded an offensive and deft nsive alliance to oppose, with wll their might, the progress of what they call the Democratic R volution.— They have agreed to profess great regard for France, but to watch for a moment when they may attack it with an appearance of light on their side. M de Mettern.ch, who, during the war with Turkey, said to whoever chose to hear, that Russia was unable to bring a large army into the field, is now proud ol his alli ance with that Power, which seems to him to be a giant. Dijon, Nov. 30 —Three fires broke out on the night oftfie 28th, during the ball. They are supposed to he the work of incendiaries* The fire was every where < xi inguished. Lisbon, Nov S^O 8 —The Steam packet w hich arrived ou the 16th, has by its news produced something like a political earthquake. It was fully expected that the King’s speech would contain an absolute recognition of Don Migu el; but the word “amnesty*’ introduced intuit has led to an explosion oi his Bartizans, fiom which we a r e now snffe mg every sort of appre hension. They are crying ont vehement ly a- gainst the English on ail sides; and, as a com mentary on the text of “amnesty,” not less than 100 persons, male and female, have been arrested since its arrival and couducled to pris- on. A lieutenant of police, one in the special confidence of toe usurper, has been wander ing up and down the street proclaiming (hat such is the amnesty for the constitutionalists.

Nothing further his transpired on the sub ject of the difference between Gen. Jacksotx and Mr. Calhoun, but the subject is one ofu- niversal and engroosing conversation; and the general impression seems to be, that an early separation must take place. It is reported that Duff Green has sold out bis newspaper establishment to Blair, tbe Ed. Global and that he has been nominated to the senate for the sit uation of U. S. Marshal of this district.
