j’g jb violation of the spirit of the Constitution,
_Js bemc unjust, 'unequal aud oppressive iu its

me on this subject in the House of Representatives,
the first in 1320, and the other in J824; in which
you will sc® my views at length on all these
S *Ncxt in order is the subject of Internal Improve
ment- I consider the whole system, when at
tempted to be executed by Congress, whether in
the form at construction, or appropriation Inj t cap
of subscription, to ichat is to be constructed by
others, as unconstitutional, as,highly Inexpedient,
aud as calculated to undermine the independence
„f the states aud the virtue of the people, in a
struggle for the spoils of the Treasury. My views
at length upou this subject, will bo exhibited in
two speeches now enclosed, delivered.by mo in
the House of Representatives, the cite m 1818,
the other in 1830. ■ : ' ; ’ f ' •,
The Bank of the .I uitcd States is theuext sub
ject. Besides flic objection to this upon tho scoro
of expediency, particularly the mighty power ari-
sin" from tho concentration <jf an organized form
of countless millions of dollars, 1, consider this as
being altogether beyond tho constitutional Com
petency ofCongrcss. , •
Tho latitude of construction, which would bring
this within the palo of tho constitution, would, in
my estimation, utterly destroy all the restrictions
aud reservations which make the Federal Gov
ernment a limited one. Aud I feel that 1 do not
state the caso too strongly when I say, that it re
solves itself into a question between a supposed
convenience to the public in the administration of
the finances aud the character. 6f the circulating
medium, rtni the creation of a power by the gov
ernment, which may sooner or Iritor become
stronger than the government itself. The Journals
of Congress will show that when the present
hank was chartered in IStb, I voted against it.
The last subject embraced iu the resolution is
that of SulUfication.
J understand this tcrui as meant to import tho
right of the several States, by interposing thoir
sovereign power, to declare void, within their
respective borders, any law which tboy iiiay think
unconstitutional. Thus understanding it I am
opposed to it. I will endeavor briefly to state
i*.iy doctrine upon the subject. Iu general, when
a question arises, whether an act of Congress is
constitutional or uot, it belongs to the Judicial
Department to decide it, because iu gcueral the
,question arises in a case, either in law or equity,
that is, in u controversy between parties, which
find taken a shnj/c for judicial decision.
But when tho question is cue cfjmliticai power,
that is, between tho Federal GovenunYdtaud thfe
States, whether the former lias iiii-nded the re
served rights of ihc latter. I hold that questions
of this; kind do not belong to judicial cognizance;
that the people of the States nro parties to the
federal compact in their character of Sfctes ;
fli.it the constitution Ita^ not conferred upon tho
Judicial Department any ptditic’nl power what
ever ; that, therefore, iu relation to question* of
this character, tkerfc is no common umpire. And
that, cousequeutly, the States must decide for
themselves. This is the right: but what is the
remedy ? My opinion is, that the only rightful
roBicdy is that of secession. The argument which
r.’lcmpts to nlaintaiu the right of ono State to
nullify, and thus suspend tho operation of a law
passed according to the forms of the constitution,
until three fourths of the States act under the
Cause providing for amendments, seems to inc to
be based upou this error. That in every case of
b contested power, the question is, what docs the
'••omtilutioii grant as it note is; whereas, under
’an amendment proposed, the question always is,
not what the constitution now is, but what it shall
hereafter be. 1 would say iu reality to it, as I
heretofore frtyo said, that a«.in "eases of physical
tnalitdy, arsenic is never administered but when
the patient is otfierwiso utterly despaired of; so
in those, ef a pcliticnl character, this remedy
should be applied only iu cases of hopeless extre
mity.
1 cannot conclude this letter, w ithout offering a
fervent prayer to Him who rules the destinies of
nations, that he would save our beloved country
from this sad catrnsidphe. For come when it
luay, no tongue can adequately tell tlieevil*
which will lie hid in the then mysterious future.
With sentiments of esteem.
Yours respectfully; ,i • •

The Vice. President.—As a civilian and states
man, iu clear, scrutinizing, discriminating powers
of mind, Philip P. Barbour is surpassed by uoiic
of liis cotcmporarics; as a pure, disinterested aud
upright patriot, but few meu cau bo compared
with linn. He has rise i to the high eminence on
wlticli lib i)ow stands, by direct, and open, und
honorable oxeHlons of his great talents at the bar,
on the hcncli, ajtd in congress; ho has never de
scended to tlio low and crooked paths of iutriguc.
His character stands ill contrast with that of
Martin-Vail IJttrcn. Although.many years at the
bar, or in the senate, tho latter never acquired
much distinction in open aud iioijyrablc exertions
of talent; but was always noted for his propensity
to intrigue. He has evinced no strong and stea
dy nltiicluucnts, or fixed and virtuous principles:
on the contrary, in his temper there is a pliancy,
and in his whole character there is a suplcuess
which peculiarly qualify him for the indilect wind
ing, tbe insidious double dealing, the hollow pre
tences, the hypocritical professions of intrigue.
These qu alities constitute the basis of his charac
ter; they have guided aud marked him at every
step of liis career, and by them alone has he ac
quired celebrity. Such a man may hot safely be
trusted; ho is over ready, when tempted by self
interest, to wago a secret war against principles
which he pretends to maintain, and iu opposition
to friends to whom lie professes to be attached.
In addition to these intrinsic ;md inherent ob
jections to the character of Van .Huron, he is pe
culiarly and deservedly-odious, as one of the most
efficient champions of tho unjust, protective tariff
of 1824, and of tho more exorbitant, protective
tariff of 1828.
liis partizans exhort us to ahnndou the candi
date w hom wc prefer for his
with them in supporting Vau Btuvn; hut wc can-
uot con- nt to be in«tratnc-atdl in delegating a
high political trust, to a man in whom wc do not
confide, and who lias largely contributed to ag-
giovate the burthens of a system of unjust taxa
tion. To claim of us, such a sacrifice ol'prudence
and principle, and love of country, is most un
reasonable : aud ifc c.auuot unite ou }f<jrtin Van
Ilurm, without the loss of bouor aud integrity.
On the contrary, our f How citizens who have
heretofore preferred \ an Burcu, cannot have any
valid objections to uniting with us in support of
Bar wut. They cannot -ictty his talents; and
ihey.freely admit that they approve ef bis. cha-
v.u'ter, ol his principles, of i,ia i juduct. If they

unTSion, then do wc most cordially mr itcthcnt to

factures of lieY own.'" When that event shall
happen, (which we believe at no distant day-
will,) it is to be presumed tho expediency of a
Tariff for protection will be no longer agitated
The (Georgia Journal however argues, that it
ought to be opposed any h'ow, whether it be the
interest of the country- or not! For our part, wc
shall be satisfied in opposing all ruinous measures,
aud in advancing, 11s far as we are able, the in
terests of the couutry; and leave itto others to dis
cuss tho abstract propriety of the thing.
The question is not, wo coiiceive, whether the
northern people are right in advocating the pro
tective policy among themselves; but iu imposing
it upcu others, against their interest and feelings,
were iKo- whole country benefitted (which it is
uot) by. the protective system, wc could see no
philosophy in apposing it.
Philip P. Barbour.—Tho more ive see .of this
distinguished statesman, ,thc better aro we satisfi
ed of his fittiugness for the Vico Presidency. ’ Mr.
Barbour stauds on the middle ground hetween tiio
consolidationists of the north, and the rtullifiers of
tile south. He. disagrees with tho former in bo
licving ours a consolidated government, aud that
the majority have the unqualified • right of op
pressing tbe minority as far as they think proper,
And lie disagrees with the latter in thinking nulli
ficqtion- an efficient and suitable remedy .for the
grievances occasioned by such oppression.. An
interesting lctcer from him ou the subject of his
political opinions, to a committee appointed at a
meeting in N. Carolina,.will be found in this paper.
We recommend it to a careful and attentive peru
sal. Satisfied in our own minds that thd pcmie-
nancy of the Union and the prosperity of tho coun
try depend in a great degree upon the success of
principles like Judge Barbour’s, we have advoca
ted liis election to the Vice Presidency. How-
oTcr we may be disposed to gratify tho thief
Magistrate in his choice of a second officer; or to
aveuge an individual for an affront offered by the
Senate of the United States; or to evince our per
sonal friendship far that individual—still \fo can
uot do so at the expense of principle) , .Wfc can
not uuder all tho circumstances, advopa.to, fae

trast with Mr. Barbour. -c—
it is not the dty of Christiaus to promote Tem
perance soeie.es. Such persons, I conclude, pay
Jittle regard t the. contents of the sacred Book.
For my humic opinion is that it speaks iu sub-
stauce as loui as. thunder, that they are the very
characters till should be the first iu layiugthe no
ble example jeforfc the rising generation. Yes,
tlicy are the ery individuals who should stand at
the helm of 10 work. Though fa my utfer as

mon, when hi by way of advice to the members,
ardently requsted thfct they ivould have nothing
to do with Temperance 1 Societies.. It is likely
that the gent?man thought that his remarks were
cogent and inpressivo; and I cau affirm that they
were very fortblo upon the minds of many who
were much asonished that a divine should-thus
declaim a caue so noble. I am confident that I
have never hetrd such argument so contrary to
religion and sbriety adduced by a clcrgyniait in
all my life bcf-rc. Were his motive io please tho

members in nc presence who expressed their en
tire disapprobation concerning bis remarks, and
I have no douit that the moral and intelligent
part of his avdieuee will pay as little regard and
respect to Ufe reverend request as the sea did to
Canute when lie,bade it with its loud boisteron
‘ I therefore, earnestly hope, that every individual i
that can exercise any power iu the noble promo- j
tiou of temperance, will enlist their names iu the ,

mankind have discovered drunkenness to be such
a stigma upon tho character of the. unhappy
wretch that is 1 a slave to it, such a deprivation of
oao’s senses, that though they might say and do

There is uo evil better calculated to render the

than drunkenness. It by degrees, destroys both

Delivered by Jacob P. Welch on the 21st ultimo,
before the Stone Creek Temperance Society,
xcKifh, at their request, teas submitted to them for
publication :
Msu President and Fellow Citizens;
Wheu I cousider tho iruportaucc of the cause
for which wc have convened, -and reflect that
there are, within this respectable audience aud
vicinity, intelligent influential gentlemen, whose
ages and experience are far greater than my owu,
and gentlemen too who should ho the uevor-fail-
iug characters to expatiate, this . all-imp.oriant
cause at every gathering, but on the contrary c-
vincitig so little concern on the part of its behalf,
I am almost induced to shrink from tho task of
making any remarks upon the occasion. Though
sir, when I again reflect that unless we potently
and irresistibly persist in tho cause of tcmjicranee,
that it cauuot shortly have its desired effect, ! can
not for a moment hesitate to exteud my voice iu
its noble promotion; and I do it morochccrfully
bccause I believo it to bo tbe very basis of reli
gion ; trod it js. therefore worthy, aud cries aloud
for tho iuflueue'e aad etertiqds of every individual
however inadequate be may be for the auspicious
vindication. , . ■
Notwithstanding the greaf importance of this
uoblo cause, there are many wlio pretend to be
averse to it; and among their various reasous in
my view, is that they are partisans and believe it
tc be malign to their party; or that ilNviil pre
vent them from destroying thoir own health and
happiness by drinking that of others. Aud a-

forms an avenue to all that is detestable, because,
ifantan is destitute of sense, ho of course is ex
posed to every atrocity. It prepares us for the
worst enticements by incapacitating us for reason
aud by destroying our greatest inclination to care
