Law of Li bel.—A curious illustration of tile in
juries and inconsistency of tha Law of Libel has
recently happened iu England. An action was
brought by Dr. Rnmadgo against Mr. Wakely,
editor of the Lancet. The ofieuco was contained
in a letter published in that paper, reporting
ease, and the difference
ion betwen Dr. Twcedienmi i)r Ratnadge
former learned doctor called tho latter learned j jj',7: n b
doctor “quack,” and the latter learned doctor call- !
ed tho former lonrneddoctor somctliiDgclsc. Mr.
Wakely managed bis own defence, aud the jury
ga’ve a verdict far the plaintiff, damages one far
thing! the same plaintiffbrought another action
against the editors of tho London Medical Jour
nal, for publishing the ofleusivo article from the
Lancet. The defendants employed couusel leaf-,
ned in the law; and the jury returned a verdict a-
gainst them—damages four hundred pounds! On
these facts the London Atlas remarks—
“It would he very, foolish at this day to arraign
tho law of libel for its manifest inconsistencies,
each of which is a most convenient scapo for in
justice. Every body is now quite satisfied that
tho law of libel is a game of chance, and that
ten minutes before a jury delivers its verdict, the
odds are precisely oven on both sides. There is
certainly one consolatory reflection arising out of
this fact, namely, that the man who brings tho ac
tion has just as much chance of being defeated,
for his pains, as the unhappy defendant hasofbe-
ing acquitte 1; so that the glorious uncoriuiuly is
divided with the same degree of equality, consid
ering that tho feelings of tho Rcuch, and the law
yers and the mere mob of people in the court, are
generally opposed to the freedom, or wo should
say, tho conversation of the press.—It appears
that it is worse to copy a libel, than to write and
publish ono iu the first instance. This is exces
sively odd,We admit, and many persons will bo
disposed to think there must ho some mistake a-
hout it; but wo inform them there is no mistake
in the matter. It has been propounded within
this week in Westminster Hall, so that, even with
our heads full of wonder and doubt, wc aro forc
ed to believe that such things are, and that there
jjnoholpforihem. A medical gentleman brought
an action against the writer of a libel, and obtain
ed a verdict of one farthing damages; he brought
a similar aciiou against another publisher, who
merely copied the libel, and obtained a verdict of
4001.!—the fact beiug thereby, established, that
the journalist that copie3 a libel, even without
any iotentien of doing mischief, is more guilty than
tho author oftho libel in the proportion of38l,900
to 1, there being that number of farthings iu the
BUinof-lOOf. If any body should question this
maxim of justice, we may refer to the case of two
newspapers which were recently placed in similar
circumstances;'the paper in which the objectiona

Lace made by Caterpillars.—A most extraor
dinary species of manufacture, which is a slight
degree connected with copyiug, has been contri
ved by an officer of engineers residing in Munich.
It consists of lacc nnd veils, with open patterns in
tlnm, made eutirely hycatterpillars. Th8 fol
lowing is the mode of proceeding adopted:—Hav
ing made a paste of the leave? of the plant on
which tho species ofcalicrpillar he employs feeds
he spreads it thinly over a stone, or other flat sub
stance, of the required si/.e. He then, with a
camel-hair pencil dipped iu olivfi oil, draws the
pattern he wishes the insccfl to leave opeu.
This stone is then placed in an inclined position,
and a considerable number oflhccatterpillars are
placed at tho bottom. A peculiar species is cho
sen, which spins a strong web, and the animals
commence at the bottom, eating aud spinning
tl’.eir way up to the tup, carefully avoiding every
part touched by the oil, but devouring every other
part of the paste. Tho extreme lightness of these
veils, combined with some strength, is truly sur
prising. One of them, measuring twenty-six aud
a half inches by sevenleeu iuches, weighed Only
1.51 grains, a degree of lightness which will ap
pear more strongly by contrasts with other fabrics.
One square yard of the substance of which these
veils are made weighs four graius and one third;
whilst one squaro yard of siik gausc weighs ono
hundred aud thirty-seven graius, and one squaro
yard of the finest patent net weighs two huudred
and sixly-two graius and a half.—Babbage's E-

Extract from the 3 d No. of ** Occasional Reviews."
■ “If the question was put to the people oh the
direct adoption of the measure of‘Nullification,
it would be lost by more than two to one, and
yet the very same persons who would vote a-
gaiust Nullification if the quosticn were directly
made, will sustaiu a measure that leads directly
and speedily to the'same result.
Such is the delusion and perverseness that gov
erns the moment. But what is still more extra
ordinary, if possible, the same people who will
sustain a measure thus leading inevitably to Nul
lification, will give no countenance to the adop-
iion of it by their legislative functionaries, and
were the Legislature voluntarily to venture upon
it, there is little doubt their act would meet with
the derided condemnation of the people. Hence
the mighty struggle for the call of a Convention,
It would seem as if the people dceined.it an un,
hallowed work with the crime of which their’eon-
stitutioual functionaries should not be polluted.
Must we not say, can it be posiblothat an intelli
gent people will suffer themselves to he such
dupes to form as to authorise to be done iu oue
form, what they will neither do nor authorise to
be done in another? They ore "not ignorant;
though it is not directly avowed, that the object
of a Convention is not to deliberate on what may
be expedient, but simply to use it as a means of
making Nullification acceptable. If nnndditiou-
tional proof were wanting that a Convention is
neither a necessary nor expedient instrument for
the ptfrpose of exercising the power of Nullifica
tion, if that were deemed politic, and that its in
tended use is for an indirect purpose, it will be
found in the fact that when Virginia and Ken
tucky proposed the measure as a remedy, they
never mentioned nor hinted at a Convention of
their respective States, nor did Jeffkrsox. The
advocates of a Convention have tho examples
aud doctrines of these authorities perpetually
in their mouths but they do not follow them.—
They corrupt tLo texts of these authorities. We
have seen bow uulike are the Nullification of these
States and our doctrine, and we see also bow
dissimilar are the means respectfully proposed to
carry their respective measures info —
.These States relied ou the settled powers s,f Con
stitutional fJovcmmcnt: The supporters of Car
olina Nullification purpose to throw off all con
stitutional restraiut and ask tho people to give,
them unlimited authority to use tho power of the
people to work their incantations, and this they
modestly call trusting tho people. Was there ev
er a greater abuse of words. Wo liavo often
■aid as wo believe, that the advocates of theso
measures arc governed by pure and patriotic fe.el-
ing» mid motives, but if wc did not know them—
if woskw men making the samo demands tinder
the samo professions aud circumstances in Eng
land or Frauce, or any other distant country,
where we did not know the actors, wc should
certainly say the good of the people was not
their objects. We hove done, Tho question is
with tho people.” • •
He" adds' .oti this branch of the subject "that an
appeal to the Supreme Court could be prevented
by denying a. copy of the record requisite'to re
view ilic judgmeiit of a State, court and the State
would take precaution to preveut any means ut
obtaining a copy. But it" obtained (says lie)
-would it avail against the execu', on ol "the-p^r

the declaration of Nullification.” _ '
The Vice President then enters into an argu
ment t'o show “that the General Government
iweiibt<bavc»no right to resort'to force (by armi)
against a Stale—to coerce a sovereign member of
the Uamui” Tie states thatihere would be uoth-

‘e’il, or if foriie "could he used, it would end iu the
subversion of .our Federal system. Dismissing
theu, the employment of a force by laud, he en
ters into tlje view bf coercion by water, by a
blockade,'and of the abolition of the ports of en
try- of the> State, accompanied by penal enact
ments, authorising seizures fur entering the wa
ters of the "State. In resorting to blockade the
Vice President says “there will bo other parties
besides the General Government and the State,
as blockade is n belligerent right. * Unless there
be war as prescribed by tho constitution, he alleg
es that a blockade vyould not he respected by oth
er nations or their' subjects, lie affirms that
there will be another difficulty as to enforcing a
regulation or law abolishing our ports of entry (in
dependently of the constitutional objection that on
preference shall br stven to. the ports of one State
oVer those of another) aud which ho makes to
cOusist in tho difficulty of procuring convictions,
within the limits of a State, under seizure, made
in pursuance of such an enactment, aud there be
ing no principle under the regular law of block
ade by which a foreign vessel at least, could be
seized aud tried beyond the distance assigned by
the law of Nations as the limits of a State.
But tho Vice President looks, ho says, to anoth
er barrier against coercion, Whether by land or
water. Ho alludes to the Supreme Court, by
virtue of its authority over maritime causes, in
questions of prize or no prize under a blockade of
the ports of the State, and he says then will come
up for decision by that tribunal of tho other ques
tions of the legality of tho repeal of tho acts es
tablishing ports of entry, and of tho constitution
ality of giving preference of the ports of oue State
over those of another.
Tho Vico President winds up the question,
whether Nullification- is equivalent to secession:
in other words, whether Nullification is hot a
peaceable remedy. Re argues that Nullification
isfinits uatufc and objects peaceful, ami endeav
ors to establish a dissimilarity between Nullifica-
apd Secession, as well in .its consequences as iq
its nntuns and cfiects. But he leaves us in doubt
whether Nullification will or w'*ll-uut, in all mor
al probability* lead to secession. He speaks of
secession on the part of the other States. This is
uot the question, unless the"Vico President-as
sumes that coercion of any kind on the part o
twenty-three States against .the twenty-fourth, is
in effect, the secession of tile hcenty-lhree from
tho olie, ami is substantially a dissolution of the
Union, Whether or not the State coerced, ought
to Consider coercion of any. kind a sufficient cause
to separate herself from the coercing States, the
Vice President leaves us still undetermined.

Killing Wqtfs.-r-A writer in the gardener’s
s to execute a stntno of the “father cf j Magazine recommends the following mode of
.■ 'destroying wasps. “When a wasp’s nest is
,t:; ‘ found, I take about half a pint of tar in a pitch
ladle, and turn a part of it into the hole where
the nest is; put the remainder of the tar round
about jho mouth of the hole and the job is done.
All the wasps that are in the nest are caught in
their attempt to come out, and those that are
out are caught in their attempt to go hi, so that
none escape. If the nest should be in a place
where the lar will soon get dry, it may, perhaps,
be better.to put a little more tar round the hole
the following day; as in general there are a
great many of the wasps, which are out all
night, and when the tar is dry it will not catch
them.
“It is not necessary to dig out the nest; and
the tar irr.y ha applied at any time of the day,

Correspondence beiteben Gov. Hamilton and Mr.
Calhoun.—This correspondence, of which tho
public anxiety is great to learn the subject mat
ter, appears in tho Pendleton Messenger of the
I3th inst. It occupies 11 eoluniue of that paper,
consists Jst, of a letter from Gov. Hamilton tq
Mr. Calhoun, dated July 31, 1832, requesting him'
to give his views “in detail of the principles and
conse’queuces of - Nullification.” Mr. Calhoun’s
reply is dated August 23, and occupies almost the
remainder of the correspoudeuce. We shall en
deavor to condense as well as wo arc able, the
chief points of the Vice President’s reply, .being
unable to publish it at full length. Mr. Calhoun
sets out with the position as the foundation of the
argument, that the constitution of the United
States is a compact between tho States, as dis
tinct political communities, aud not tho work of
the American people collectively. As a conch;
sion from this doctrine,' Mr. Calhoun enters in a
course of reasoning to prove ‘‘that there is no di
rect aud immediate connexion between the indi
vidual citizens of a State aud the General Gov
ernment,‘that the relation between them is through
the State.” As another conclusion from this
doctrine, Mr. Calhoun affirms that ‘ion a question
whether a particular power exercised by the Gen
eral Government, be granted by tlie constitution,
it belongs to the State as a member of the Union,
in her sovereign capacity in Convention, to deter
mine definitely, as lar as her citizens are concern
ed, the extent of the obligation she has contract
ed, and if, in hor opinion, tho act exercising the
power bo unconstitutional, to declare it null and
void, which declaration would 5c obligatory on her
citizens." Tho Vico President asserts that I10
does not claim as "the right of the State to abro
gate an act of the General Government, but as-
far as its citizens are concerned to declare the extent
of the obligation, and that such declaration is bind
ing un them." So much for an outline of Mr.
Calhoun’s general doctrine. Wo now come* to
its practical operation and the modus operandi.
It is the V. President’s opinion that on the State
assembling in Convention to deterinino whether
apowerbo granted in the constitution, and which
has been inhibited by a State veto, the decision
is binding on both parties, and the controversy
would be closed. Ho goes on to say “.that the
citizens of the State would be bonnd in all the
relations of life, private and political, to .respect - !
aud obey a declaration of Nullification, nnd when
called upon as jurymen to render their verdict ac
cordingly, or as Judges fo pronounce judgment in h
conformity to it. It would be impossible (says 1
he) for tho General Government, within thr lim- '
its of the Stale to execute legally »hc actnulijfied
or any other passed with a view to enforce it;
while on the other hand would bo to enforce le
gally ^i,() p-acretbhj its declaration Nullification.”
Mr. M'-Dujjie's Nullification.—We know not
how many varied aspects the doctrine of State
interposition is destined tq assume. We have
Carolina Nullification and Georgia Nullification
Mr. Calhoun’s Nullification aud Gov. Trotip’s,
Nullification—the one a metaphysical subtlety-
an inscrutable mystery—other manly, undis
guised, revolutionary resistance. We have‘Mr.
Turnbull's N-uiiincation ana juiip. ot«ji« u ’. m„i_
lificatiou—the one having for its object to compel
Congress to decide the question “shall South
Carolina'lie coerced?” the other meaning that
Georgia must 6eeedc from the Union, unless Con
gress sliail repeal the Tariff on or before the last
day of thd sessiou of 1834. Each of these gedtlc-
rrfeu has his own way of thundering, and neither
can say to the othej- your thunder is my thunder.
In addition to these strange diversities of doc
trine, Mr. M'Duffie, another Nullifier, notwith
standing all his warlike addresses, has come out
with a mode of Nullification, so mild aud pcitcc
ful. that we veuture to say that if his party will
pledge themselves to adopt it, and go not a step
beyond it, opposition to Nullification -will cense
throughout the Slate. Mr. M'Duffic, says the Ab
beville Whig, in the report of his speech at the rc-
•cent meeting in Abbeville •‘indicated an action of
detinue or trover, as the most eligible motfe of op
eratiou, whielrhe traced through every stage of
'the process of a judicial proceeding, to a peace tat
and successful result," If this be qll that Nullifi-
,crs intend. Nullification is ifrdetd a* most harm
less remedy—as harmless as it will prove futile.
•Against such a measure the Union party would
never have thought it worth their while to raise
the standard of opposition
that Mr. M‘Duffio’s modus operandi has no con
nexion with “a bill of pains and J>enalties”—with
confiscation of property and imprisonment of per
son—With tho punishment of death for treason a-
gainst the State—for with all these have the U-
nionists'becn threatened by the advocates of Nul
lification. If Mr. M‘Duflic’s action of trover and
detinue, are to have such appliances, Nullification
will relume its revolting feature, aud encounter
unabated opposition from the Union party. But
if Mr. M’Duffio be really in favor of so mild aud
inoffensive a remedy as that lie has said to have
advocated; why call a Convention oftho State fo
enforce it, why trouble even the Legislature with
it? If the tariff laws are noW unconstitutional—
they aro null and void—aud the Judiciary of the
State has full power to defeat their operation—
actions of defniuo and trover cannot he brought
for goods which the collector withholds for non
payment of illegal duties—arid State Judges aud
Jurios need no further ravestmeflt "of authority to
enable them to do ample justice to the aggrieved
importer. Why then assemble a convention—fi
convention wielding tho sovereign power of the
State? If tho ordinary functionaries of the State
Government he competent to the emergency, why
set up this formidable apparatus of State power
—which, while it can render the tariff no more
void than it is now, may endanger the Union by
some iutemperate movement; or for lack of other
employment, may exert its sovereign energies o-
ver the State constitution, and change that sys-
tom of representation which the low country
deems so essential to its interests.—Charleston
Courier.
Too Fast.—-The Milton Spectator says,
that “Judge Barbou* has lately written a letter
to a gentleman of OxfoM, in thfc State, in
which he, in substanect-expressed the wish, that
his friend3 would not 'continue his name as a
candidate for the Vice- Presidency*” Now,
we have been unable to find more than one gen
tleman in Oxford whoever received a letter
fronto-Judgc Barbour.—This gentleman has re-
cojvod »,v<T 01 llirec letters from the Judge the
present year, and Wc undertake to say that nei
ther of these contained any sentence which can
bo< tortured into the expression of such a v/ish
as is ascribed to him in tho Spectator. .We
have the very best reason to believe that no
such letter has ever been received.
' BARBOUR’S OPINIONS.
As certain politicians are endeavoring to
mystify and misrepresent the opinions of Judge
Barbour upon the great questions of the day,
we tvilf briefly state what Ins-opinions arc upon
a few of the leading subjects now under discus-
. sion before the people: .
1, He believes a Protective Tariff tone un
just, impolitic and a" violation of the spirit of the
constitution.
2. lie believes that the Federal Government
possesses no power to appropriate money to
carry on works of Internalimprovement, and
ihorpforo an-*w;ti disbursements of the public
money to be without the warrant of the consti
tution.
• 3. He believes it to be both dangerous and
unconstitutional to recharter the United States’
Bank.
4. lie believes that all power not granted to
the General Government nor prohibited to the
States, is reserved to the States; or to the peo-
plp.
5. He beliol'es that the Supreme Court is
the proper and final tribunal for the* adjustment
of all purely legal controversies, which may re-
^gulariy come before it—but that it possesses no
political power whatever.
6. He believes that South Carolina Nullifi
cation is not the “rightful remedy” for federal
oppression,
7. He holds that the States have a right to
‘secede from the compact, when all other "rem
edies fail—this right to bo exercised only as
'the physician gives arsenic,-in a desperate case
•when theonly alternatives are oppression or
We hope, however,' scc ® ss ’°n. ..... . ,,
- - . Any person who will take the trouble to ex
amine the history of Judge Barbour’s political
course will find that these arc some df the doc
trines maintained py that distinguished states
