IN SENATE.
Wednesday, Jan. 1(1, 1833.
A message was teccived from the President of
tho United Slates, by A. J. Donelson, Esq. his
Secretary; it is as follows:
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Jtepresen
tatives:
In my annual message, at the commencement
of your present session, 1 adverted to the opposi
tion to the revenue laws in a particular quarter
of tho United States, which threatened, not
merely to thwart their execution, but to endanger
lh» integrity of the Union. And, although 1 then
expressed uiy reliauce that it might be overcome
by tho prudence of the officers of the'.United
States, and the patriotism of the people; 1 stated,
that should the emergency arisefTeudcring the ex
ecution of the existing laws impracticable, from
any cause whatever, prompt notice should be
given to Congress witfi the suggestion of such
views and measures us might be uecessary to
meet it.
Events which have occurred iu the quarter
thero alluded to, or which have eouic to my
knowledge subsequently, presents this emergen
cy.
Since the date of my last aunual message, I
have had officially transmitted to me by tho Gov
ernor of Sooth Carolina, which 1 now commu
nicate to Congress, a copy of the ordinance pass-
by the convention, which assembled nt Colum
bia, in tho State of South Carolina, in November
last, declaring certain acts of Congress thereiu
mentioned, withiu the limits of that State, to be
actually null and void, and making it tbs duty of
the Legislature to pass such laws as would be ne
cessary Xo carrj the same iut0 c3cct f f° n ‘ autl af
ter the 1st February next.
The conscqueuccs to which this extraordinary
defiaucc of tho just authority of the Government
might too surely lead, were clearly foreseen, and
it was impossible for me to hesitate as to my otvu
duty iu such an emergency.
The ordinance had been passed, however,
w ithbut any certain knowledge of the rccoimneu-
cution, which, from a view of the interests of the
t'3202; Wm Harris*271 £2 2; Cotmop | nation at large, the executive had determined to

submit to Congress; aud a hope was indulged
that, by fraukly explaining his seutiinonts, and
the nature of those duties which the crisis would
devolve upon him, the authorities of South Car
olina might be induced to retrace their steps. In
this hope 1 determined to issue my proclamation
of the 10th of December last, a copy of w hich I
now lay before Congress.
1 regret to iufortn yon thattiiesc reasonableex-
pcctat:ou$ have not been realized,.and that the
several acts of the Legislature of South Carolina,
which innw lay before you, and which have, all
aud each of them, Anally passed, after a knowl
edge of the desire of the administration to modify
the lairs Complained of, are too well calculated,
both in their positive enactments and iu the spirit
of opposition which they obviously encourage,
wholly to obstruct the collection of the revenue
withiu the limits of that State/
Up to this period neither the recommendation
of the Executive in regard to oirr financial policy
autl impost system, nor the disposition manifested
by Cougress promptly to act upon that subject,
nor the unequivocal expression of the public will
iu all parts of the Union, appears to have pro
duced auy relaxation in the measures of opposi
tion adopted by tho State of South Carolina;
nor is there any reason to hope tiiatthc ordinance
aud laws will be abandoned.
1 have no knowledge that an attempt lias been
made, or tiiat it is in contemplation, to reassem
ble cither the convention or the Legislature; and
it will be perceived that the interval before the
first 6f February is too short fo admit of the pre
liminary stc ys necessary 16r that purpose, it ap
pears. moreover, that the Slate authorities are
actively organizing their military resources, and
providing the means, and giving the most solemn
assurances of protection and support to. ail who
shall enlist iu opposition fo the revenue laws.
A recent proclamation of the present Governor
of f:ou:h Carolina Jih* openly defied the authority
of the Executive of the Union, and general orders
from the head quarters' of the State announced
his determination to aveejit the services of volun
teers, and his belief, that should their courTry need
their services, they will be found at the post of
honor and duty, ready to lay down their lives iu
her defence. Under these order.', the forces re
ferred 10 are directed to “hold ihcmsuhres iu read
iness to take the field at a moment’s warning,”
and in thecity of Charleston, withiu a collection
district and a port of entry, a rendezvous has
lUr j l'i.i 11 opened for the purpose of enlisting men for
the magazine and municipal guard, ‘lhus South,
Carolina presents herself in the attitude of hos
tile preparation, and ready even for military vio
lence, it nceus be, to enforce her laws for pro-
venting the collection of the duties within hcrlim
its.
Proceedings thus announced and matured, must
be distinguished fn in menaces of unlawful resist
ance by irregular bodies of people, who, acting
under temporary delusion, may be restrained b>
reflection -tud the influence of public opinion,
committed when it is officially authorized, and
the means ot enforcing it fully provided.
Under these circumstances, there cau he no
doubt tiiat it is the intention of the authorities of
South Carolina fully to carry into effect their or
dinance ;tud laws alter the ; rst of February. It
therefore becomes my duty 10 bnug the subj'ect to
the serious consideration of Congress, in order
that such measures as they, iu their wisdom, may
deem fit. shall be Seasonably provided; and that
may bo thereby understood, that, tthje the Gov
ernment is disposed to remove all just cause of
Chmplaint, as far as may be practicable, consist
ently with a proper regard to the interests of the
community at large, it is nevertheless determined
that the supremacy of tho laws shall be maintain
ed.
In making this communication, it appears to
me to be proper not only tiiat I should lay before
you the acts and proceedings of t?outh Carolina,
imt tiiat I should also fully acquaint you with
thoso steps which I have already catised to be ta-
keu fur the due collection of the revenue, aud
w ith ray views of the subject generally, that the
suggestions • which the Constitution requires me
to make iu regard in your future legislation, may
he better understood
Thissuhject having curly attracted tho anxious
attention of the executive, as soon as it was prob
able that the authorities of South Carolina seri
ously meditated resistance to the.faithful exe
cution of tho revenue laws, it was deemed advi
sable that the Secretary of the Treasury should
particularly iustruct the officers of the Uuited
States iu that part of the Union; as to the nature
of the duties prescribed by the existing law s.
Instructions were accordingly issued on the 6th
of November, to tha Collectors of that State,
pointing out their respective duties, ami enjoining
upon each a firm and vigilant, but discreet per
formance of thorn in the emergency then appre
hended. 1 herewith transmit copies of these
instructions, and of tho letter addressed to the
District Attorney requesting bis co-operation.
These instructions were dictated in the hope
that as the oj*positio» to the laws by the auotual-
011? proceeding of Nullification was represented
to ho of a pacific nature, to be pursued substan
tially according to the forms of the Constitution,
and without resorting iu auy event to force or
violence, the measures of its advocates would be
taken in conformity with that profession; and,
Oh such supposition, the means afforded by the
existing laws would have been adequate to meet
any cuicr c euey likely to arise.
It was, however, nol possible altogether to
suppress apprehension of the exceJssv .to which
the excitement prevailing in tha*. quarter might
lead; but it certainly was nol foreseen that the
meditated obstruction to tho laws would so soon
openly assume its p/eseut character,
Subsequent to the date of those instructions
however, tho Ordinance of the Convention w as
passed, which, if complied with by tho people of
that State, must effectually render inoperative the
present reveutic laws withiu her limits. That
Ordinance declares aud ordains “that the several
acts and parts of acts of the Cougress of tho Uni
ted Slatts, purporting to be laws for the impo
sing of duties and imposts on the importation of
foreign commodities and now having operation
and effect within tho Uuited States, aud more es
pecially ‘an act in alteration of the several acts
imposing duties on imposts,’ approved on the 19th
of .May, 1828; aud also ail act entitled ‘an act to
alter and amend the several acts imposing duties
on imports,’ approved on the 14th July, 1832,
are unauthorized by the Constitution of tho Uni
ted {states, violate the true intent and meaning
thereof, aud arc null aud void, ami no law, nor
binding upon tho State of South Carolina, its offi
cers aud citizeus; and all promises,' contracts
aud obligations, made or entered into, dr to be
made or entered into, with purpose to secure the
duties imposed by tho said acts, and. all judicial
proceedings w hich shall be hereafter had ju affir
mance thereof, are aud shall bc/ieid utterly uull
and void, it also ordnius “that it shall not be
lawful for any of the constituted authorities,
w oeutci vf thv'StiUe of SohiU UoroliBa or of the
United States, to enforce the payment of duties
imposed by the said acts within the limits of the
State; but that it shall be the duty of tho Legisla
ture to adopt such measures aud pass such acts as
may be necessary to give full effect to tins Orui-
nauce, aud to preveut the enforcement and arrest

The Ordinance Concludes, “And we, the people
of 8outh Carolina, to tbo end that it may be fuJlj’
understood by the Government of the United
States and the people of the co-States, that wo
are determined to maintain this ordinance and
declaration at every hazard, do further declare
that we will not submit to the application of force
oii die part pf-Uie Federal Government to reduce
tliis state to obedience; but that we will consider
the passage, by congress, of any act authorizing
tbo employment ol a military or naval force
stroy or harrass her commerce, or to enforce the
acts hereby declared lobe null and void, other
wise than through the civil tribunals of tho country,
as inconsistent with the longer continuance of
South Carolina in the Luiou , aud that tho peo
pie of this state w ill thenceforth hold themselves
absolved from all further obligation to maintain
or preserve their pofitical connexion with the peo-
pleofthe ptherstates; aud will forthwith proceed
to organize a separate Government, and do all
other nets and things which sovereign and inde
pendent states may of right do.” ;
This solemn denunciation of the law’s and alt
thority of the Uuited States lias been followed up
by aseries of acts on tho part of the- authorities of
that stato which manifest a determination to 1 cu
tler inevitable a resort to those measures of self-di;-
feuco which the paramount duty.of Government
requires, but upon the adoption of which that
state will proceed to execute the purpose it has a-
vowed in this ordinance of withdrawing from tlio
Union.
Onthc27tJi of November, the Legislature
assembled at Columbia; and on their meeting,
the Govr»nor laid be for: thorn the Ordinance
of the Convention. In his Message bn that oc
casion, lie acquaints them that “this Ordinance
has thus become a part of tho fundamental law
of South -Carolina;” that “the die lias been at
last cast, and South Carolina has at length ap
pealed to her ulterior sovereignty as a member
of this confederacy, and has planted herself on
her reserved rights. The rightful exercise of
this power is nol a question on which we shall
anv longer argue. It is sufficient that she has
willed it, aud that the act is done; nor is its
strict compatibility with our constitutional ob
ligation to all laws passed by the General Gov
ernment, within the authorized grants of power,
to be drawn in question, when this interposi
tion is exerted in a case in which the compact
lias been palpably, deliberately,. and dange
rously violated. That it brings up a conjunc
ture of deep and momentous interest is nei
ther to be concealed nor denied. This crisis
presents a class of duties which is referable to
yourselves. You have been commanded by
rite people in their highest sovereignty, to take
care that within the limits of this state their
will shall be obeyed.” “The measure oflegis-
lntion,” he says, “ whichyou have toemployat
this crisis is the precise amount of such enact
ments as may be necessary to render it utterly
impossible to collect within our limits the duties
imposed by the protective tariffs thus nullified.”
He proceeds—“That you should arm every

3 c, i* “An ncl concerning the dufii required
by the ordinance, passed iu couveutiou at Co
lumbia, the 24th of November, 1S32.” This act
prescribes the form of the oath—which is, to 0-
boy and execute tbc ordinaucej and all acts pass
ed by the Legislature iu pursuance thereof; and
directs the time aud mauner of taking it by the
officers of tho state, civil, judiciary and military.
It is believed that other acts have been passed,
embracing provisions for enforcing the ordinance,
but I have nut yet been al io to procure them.
I transmit, however, a copy of Gov. Hamilton’s
message to the Legislature of South Carolina,
of Governor Hayue’s inaugural address to the
same body, as also of his proclamation, and a gen-
etui order of the Governor and commander-in-
chief, dated the 20th December, giving public no
tice that the services of volunteers will be accep
ted, under die act already referred to.
If these measures camiot be defeated and over
come by the power conferred by the coustituiiou
on the Fodcral Government, the’ constitution
on tlie improbable contingency, that amid chan
ging events and increasing excitement, tliescnii.
incuts of the present members of the couveutiou
and of their successors, will remain the same.
It ts to be regretted, however, tiiat these con
ditions, even if they had been offered in the
same binding form, arv so undefined depend up
on so many contingencies, are so directly op
posed to the known opinions and interests of
the great hotly of the American people, as to be
almost fiopcless of attainment. The majority
of the States and of tho people will certainly
not consent that the protecting duties shall be
wholly abrogated, never to be re-enacted at a*
ny further time or in any possible contingency.
As little practicable is it to provide tha- the
“same rate of duty shall he imposed upon the
protected articles that shall he imposed upon
the unprotected ;” which, moreover, would be
severely oppressive to the poor, and in time of
war, would add greatly to its rigor. And,
though there can be no objection to the princi
ple properly understood, that no more revenue
shall be raised than is necessary for the consitu-
tional purposees of the Government—which
principle has been already rcccommeded by
the Executive as the true basis of taxation,—yet
it is very certain that S. Carolina alone cannot
.... . be permitted to decide what those constitution-
must be considered as incompetent to its own , 1

and the rights and liberties of the citizeus can no
longer receive protection from the government
of the Union. They not only' abrogate the laws
of congress, commonly called the tariff acts, of
1828 aud 1802, but they prostrate aud sweep a-
way, at once, aud without exception, every act,
ami every part of every act imposing any amount
whatever of duty on any foreign merchandise,
and, virtually,every existing act which has ever
been passed authorizing tho collection of revenue,
aud including the act of JS10, niid, also, the col
lection law ol 1799, the constitutionality of which
bus uever been questioned. It is uot only those

The governor also asks for power to grant
clearances, in violation of the laws of the'*Un
ion; and, to prepare for. the alternative, which
must happen, unless the United States shall
passively surrender their authority, and the
Executive, disregarding his oath, relrain from
executing the laws of the Union, he recom
mends a thorough revision of the militia system,
and that the Governor “be authorized to ac
cept, for the defence of Charleston and its do-:
pendencies, the services of two thousand vol
unteers, cither by companies or files;” and
that they be formed into a legionary’ brigade,
consisting of infantry, riflemen, cavalry’, field

and the governiiiciit is absolutely prohibited from

the citizens of South Carolina and of the United
States, but tlie subjects of foreign States, may
import any description or quantity of mer
chandise into the ports of South Carolina, with
out the payment of any duty whatever. That
state is thus relieved from the payment of auy
part of the .public burthens, and the duties and
imposts are not ouly rendered not uniform through
out the Uuited States, but a direct and ruinous
preference is given to the ports of that state over
those of all the other states of the Union, iu man

constitution. ■ • - • •

ei umont to coerce the state, shut up her ports, de-
conditions upou which those who have thus un
dertaken to arrest the operation of the laws are
to retrace rheir steps and rescind their measures.
They offer to the United States uo alternative
but uucondiliuual submission. If the scope of tlie
ordinance is to be received as ’be scale of conces
sion, their demands cau be satisfied only by a re
peal o.f the whole system of revenue laws, and by
abstaining from the collection of auy duties and
imposts whatsoever.
It is true that in the address to the people of
the Uuited {states by the convention of South
Carolina, after announcing “the fixed and final
determination of the state in relation to tho pro
tecting system,’ - they say, “that it remains for us
to submit a plan of taxation, in which we would

A request has been regularly made of the Sec
retary of State of South Caroliua for authentic
copies of the acts which have beeu passed for t he
purpose cf enlorciug tiu,ordinance, but, up to the.
dale of the latest advices, that request had net
been complied with; add,.da tlie present occa
sion, therefore, reference cau only be made to
those acts as published in tho newspapers of the
state.
Tlie acts to which it is deemed'proper to invite
tho particular attention of congress, arc,
1st. “An act to carry into effect, in part, an
ordinance to nullify ccrtaiu acts of tho congress of
tho United States,’ purporting fo be laws laying
duties 011 the importation of foreign commodities,”
passed iu couvcntion of this state, at Columbia,
on the 24tb Nov., 1832.
This act provides, that any goods seized or dc-
tniued, under pretence of securing tho duties, or
for the non-payment of duties, or under any pro
cess, order, or decree, or other pretext, contrary
to the intent aud meaning of the ordinance, may
bo recovered by tlie owner or consignee by “au
act of replevin.” That, in case of nfuaingiq de
liver them, or removing them, so that the replevin
cannot be executed, the sheriff may seize the per
sonal cstato of tho offender to dculilo the amount
of the goods; and. if any attempt shall be made
to retake or seize tlwm, it is the duty of the sheriff
to recapture them. Aud that any person who
shall disobey rhe process, or remove the goods,
or any one who shall attempt to retake or seize
the goods, under pretence cf securing the duties,
or for non-payment of duties, or trader any pro
cess or decree contrary to the intent of the ordiu-
nn- - e, shall be fiued and imprisoned, besides being
liable for any other offence involved in the act.
It also provides that any persou arrested 1 or im
prisoned on any judgment or decree obtained in
auy Federffl court for duties, shall be entitled to
tlie benefit secured by the habeas corpus act of
the state in cases of unlawful arrests, aud may
maintain ail actiou for damages; and that, if auy
cstate shall be sold tinder such judgment or de
cree, the salo shall be held illegal. It also pro
vidcs. that auy jailor who receives a persou com
mitted ou any process or other judicial proceed
ings to enforce the payment of duties, and auy
one who hire* his house as a jail to receive such
person, shall lie fined and imprisoned. And, fi
nally. it provides that persons paying duties may
recover them back with interest.
The next is called “an act to provide for tho
security aud protection of the people of the state
of South Carolina.
This act provides, that, if the government of
the United Stales, or any officers thereof shall,
by the employment of naval or military force, j
The period which constitutes tlie due time in
which tlie terms proposed in the address to be
accepted, would seem to present scarcely less
difficulty than the terms themselves. Though
the revenue laws are already’ declared to be
Void in South Carolina, as well as the bonds
taken under them, and the judicial proceedings
for carrying them into effect, yet, r.s tho full ac
tion and • peration of the Ordinance are to be
suspended until thcjlst of February, the interval
may be assumed as tho time within which it is
expected that the most complicate portion of
the national legislation, a system of long stand
ing and affecting great interests in the com
munity is to be rescinded and abolished. If
this be required, itjs clear that a compliance is
impossible.
In the uncertainty, then, which exists as to
tlie duration of the ordinance and of the enact
ments for enforcing it, it becomes imperiously
the duty of the Executive of thBUniled States,
acting with a proper regard to all the great in
terests committed to his care, to treat those
acts as absolute and unlimited. They arc so,
as far as bis agency is concerned: lie cannot
either embrace or lead to the performance of
the conditions. He has already discharged
the only part in his power, by the recommend
ations in his annual message. The rest is with
congress and the people. And, m.i il they have
acted, his duty will require him to look to Vie
existing state of tilings, and act uu i ir them ac
cording to his high obligations.
To Ic continued.

The case of the State vs. Dr. P. Minis, on
an indictment for murder, for shooting Mr.
James J. Stark, in the unfortunate rencontre
which riok place between (hem at the City Hate!
in August last, closed yesterday after a strict but
impartial investigation.—The trial continued
for six days and excited much interest, the
Court room being crowded each day’. Tho
Judge charged the Jury on the law, and sub
mitted the caise to them—who, after an absence
of two hours, returned a verdict of not guilty.
The defence set up by the defendant and sus
tained by tlie Jury was, that lie acted in self-de
fence. Col. Jos. \V. Jacks on, Co!. S. Jones ot

It is also true, that iu his message to,tlie Lcgis- j

From the diversity of terms indicated in these
two important documents, taken iu connexion
with the progress of recent events in that quarter,
there is too much reasou to apprehend, without
in any manner doubting the intention of those
