T&E union. 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 .Melvin 233 63; J if Cunniugham 104 10 3; J N Hightower 10 9 2; J C Terry 77 7 2; Liud^cv Holland 77 4 4.

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 operation of the said acts and parts of nets o! the Congress of the United Stales, within the limits of the State, from and alter the first of February next; aud tbat it shall 5e the duty of all other constituted authorities, aud of all per sons residing or being within the limits of the State, aud they are hereby required and enjoined, to obey and give effect to this Ordinance* aud such acts and measures of the legislature as may be passed or adopted iu obedience thereto.” It further ordains, ••that in no case of law or equity decided iu the Courts of the State, wherein shall, be drawn in questiou the authority of this Ordi nance, or the validity ofsuch act or nets of the Legislature as may be passed for the purpos? of giving effect thereto, or the validity of the afore said acts of Cougress, imposing duties, shall auy appeal bo taken or allowed to the Supreme Court ol the United States, nor sbail any copy of the re cord be permitted or allowed fur that purpose; and the person or persons attempting to take such appeal, may he dealt with as lor a contempt of Court.” It likewise ordains, “tiiat all persons holding any office of honor, profit or trust, civil or military, under the State, shall, within inch time, and 111 such manner as the Legislature shall prescribe, lake an oath well and liuly to obey, execute and enforce this Ordinance, aud such a< t or acts of tho Legislature as tuay be passed iu pur.uance thereof, according to the true inteut and meaning of the same : aud on tho neglect or uiuisMoii of any such' person or persons so to do, his or their office or offices shall be torthwith va cated, and shall bo filled up as if such person or persons were dead or bad rosigubd; and no per sons hereafter elected to auy office of honor, profit or trust, civil or military, shall, until the Legislature shall otherwise provide and direct, enter on the execution of his office, or be in auy respect competent to diseliargo the duties thereof, until ho shall, in like manner, have taken a simi lar oath : ami no juror sii.ill be empanueiled in any of the Courts of tho State, in any cause iu ivi’ici: shall be in question this Ordinance, or any act of tbo Legislature passed in pursiiatico there of, unless lie shall first iii addition to the usual oath have taken an oath that lie will well and truly o- bey, execute and enforce this Ordinance, aud such act or acts of tho Legislature as may be pas sed to carrj - the same into operation and effect,' according to the true intwiit and meaning thereof.” 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 citizen with a civil process, by which he inay claim if he pleases, a restitution of his goods, seized under the existing imnnsts. nn bis urivincr attempt to coerce'the state of South Carolina | vention for the purpose of proposing amend iuto submission to the acts cf congress declared ments only “on the application of the lerislatu by the ordinance null aud void, or to resist the - 5 enforcement of the ordinance, or of the laws of two thirds of the slates.” And it is not peVcci ved that the terms presented in the address ar* more practicable thau those referred to iu t jj* passed iu pursuance thereof, or iu case of an ar med or forcible resistance thereto, the Governor is authorized to resist the same, and to orol-r into It will not escape attention, that the coudi'iom service the whole or so much of the military force 1 on which it is said in the address of the convcu of the state as lie may deem necessary; and th*t j tiou they “would be willing to acquiesce,” f or m 111 case of any overt act of coercion or iutcution j 110 part of the ordinance. \\ bile this ordinance to commit the same, manifested by an unusual j bears all the solemnity of« funda-ronialiaw, is to be authoritative upon all within the Iiipits Of South Carolina, and L absolute and unconditional j„ its term*, the address conveys only ;he sentiments of the convention, iu no binding or practicable form ; one is the act of the state, the other only the expression of thcopiuions of the members of the convention.

By the positive enactments of the ordinance t„. sixteen aud sixty, aud for the purchase of arms, : execution of tile laws of the Union is absolutely ordnance and ammunition.- It also declares (hat j prohibited; and the address offers 110 other pros, llie power conferred on the Governor shall be ; pect of their being again restored, even iu applicable to all cases of insurrection or invasion, ; modified form proposed, than whatdopends up seized under the existing imposts, on his giving security to abide the .issue of a suit at law, and at the same* timb define what shall constitute treason against the state, and by a bill of pains and penalties compel obedience and punish disobedience to your own laws, are points too obvious to require any discussion. Iti one word, you must survey the whole ground.' You must look to and provide for all possible con tingencies. In yourown limits your own Courts or "imminent danger thereof, and to cases where the laws of the state shall be opposed,, and the execution thereof forcibly resifted, by combina tions too powerful to be suppressed by the power vasted iu the sheriffs and other civil officers: and declares it to be theduly of the Governor, in eve ry such case, to call forth such portions of the militia and volunteers as may be necessary promptly to suppress such combinations, and cause the laws cl tile state to be executed. 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 defence, the supremacy of the laws is at an cud, al R“ r P ose S . 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 duties which are changed to have been imposed for the protection of manufactures that arc there- .» • *0 , . , IU.

Henceforth, not only 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 ifest violation of the positive provisions of the constitution. ■ • - • • gainst the stale of South Carolina, her constitu ted authorities or citizt ns; or any act abolishing or closing the ports of this state, or any of diem, or otherwise obstructing the free ingress and egress ol vessels, to and Irom the .said ports; or any other act on the part of the Federal Cov- 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 bo.williug to acquiesce, in a liberal spirit of con cession, provided we are met in due time, and in 1 . . n mvominr sniriL hv tbo itatMinterests] iu man- ' a pecoming spirit,.by the .statesinterested iuman- : ’‘ lls Clt - * a,lt ^ U ^ BTIGKU and Cohen.i" ulacture*.” In the -opioiQn.of the convention, an Gsqra, of So’-rt.'i Carolina, oa the part ot the oqmtable plan would be that “the whole list of | Defendant.—Savannah Republican. pi elected articles should be imported free of all duty, and tiiat the revenue derived from import ' lStOCti3ltllt.il JLfUStllCSl .

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.

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.
