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 • • V. V. BARBOUR. Mfssrt. 11. Bryan, Josiah T. Cranberry, Me- mucan Hunt, Committee of a political meeting at the Shoeco Springs, Warren county, K. C. m GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. MACOH. 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 nr.* Mucert iu deprecating tho consequences of unTSion, then do wc most cordially mr itcthcnt to ua’.te with us in supjiortiug Phiiipl 1 . Barbour—a patriot without reproach.

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.

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 election of Mr. Van Burcn, when placed in con trast with Mr. Barbour. -c— it is not the dty of Christiaus to promote Tem perance soeie.es.

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.
