t-idcrnldo degree free from this inconvenience.—.
This suit of reasoning evidences tho shifts- to
which individuals will resort, to advance a favor
ite ruea>ure, or to .promote a party object. It
would.'wo should suppose, requite a new sort of

Two Dollar Bills ; the actual value of which he
might not -o clearly know. We have seen some
persons who had a few small bills of the late
Bank of .vl-ieon—and even of the Merchants’,&
Planters’ Batik of this'place, who,would- not feel
prettily. injured, if they-cofild even now receive',
thr silver for their, bills, in place of having to keep
them Id tlieir pocket hooks, as evidences of the
/'confidence placed jn the pcomises-of those institu
tions—-and who tvould not have had those small
bills, Had nothing below Five.Dcllars in paper
been in ci’.vu! lidu when they received th’ctn.-—
To those, however, who do fnit in reality like the
law, it might he observed, 'ttuit.it was passcd.by

Georgia, who voted against “the Force Bill of

sacred: when it fa:!.;, if is worth tlie support of

Very respectfully. Gentlemen,
Your obeihcni servant,
GML 1ft. TRtJl’P.
AVc have said Governor Troup was no nullifi-
ap—We liave said his doctrine was the “L'iiioii
nf tlie Stales and tilts sovereignly of tho Stales,”
mid tlio-purasent!incut contained in the foregb-
as explained by Mr. Mndisotr.
Wliat is amnsiug in the case of Air. Clayton’s
“conclusive commentary,” is bis reliance on the
Answers of some of the other States to the Res
olutions of Virginia, in all of whicb/lliis very mat
ter, namely—State Interposition hy Legislative
Declarations of the jincoustitutionality df Acts of
Congress—forms tlie'.sole object ol jmiuted re
buke- and condcmuatioir. *-JVhat (aifinns Alt.
Clayton)' said tht State of. Delaware, ihen .r.t.d
uow under 'the doniiniou of Federalism ? That
they considered -th' .Resolution from the State of
Virginia as a very unjustifiable interference with
the General Government, aud of dnugeious- ten
dency, Sc.” Whereupon Air. Clayton, in a tri
umphant lone, exclaims. “What! the right to
petition, au unjustifiable interference with tiro
General governmenf!! Of dangerous te'udeii-
cy} i” No. Air. Clavtoti, trot the right to petition
it is pretended to have a holy attachment for
it.'**' * •* .* It is not tv.ithin the fango of hu
man belief that any man C-'td cherish any at
tachment fo il at all; tojsay nothing of a holy
attachment,- Ivhq sees it as it fairly is.” *-■
* Detestable and treasonable as these senti
ments arc, tlie write! of them deserves some’
credit for his frankness. He disdains the hyp-
'oyrisy of many of the leaders of his party,
“wlio, while thoir utmost exertions arc directed
against the integrity of the union, impiously*
claim to hold it in reverence.—But the eyes >f
the people are upon them; an unshackled press
will continue to expose thcii machinations;

ny orator play more singularly' the Squeak

were calling to them through speaking trumpets.'
The noise was heard by the young uian . vvho
liad insisted on accompanying them; perceiv
ing tliat the distance to the top of tlie arch wh$
about four feet, he sprang up crying “let us go,”
and striking his head against the arch, fell
down, upsetting tlie boat and extinguishing the
light they had with them.
Op.coming tatlie surface, Isamhard called
to Iris companions, who answered him, and con
jured him to hasten away*, as the water contin-
.tied gaining on them. Isamhard plunged 're
peatedly to tlie bottom in search of tiie other,
and at last brought him up. Iiis friend again
cutrcated.hini to think only of himself, • but be
answered by begging them to assist him in pla
cing Iiis burthen on his shoulders. Animated
.by this example, tliey now all carried the hotly
by turns’, and .a! last, with tlieir heads every- in
stant striking against the arch, again saw the
light of day. They had now ascended half
way up the staircase, when tiie water reached
tlie top or tinware!)/ The body was then ex
amined. Isamhard and lii« friend; had brought
out a corpse. The unfortunate young man
had fraqtured his skull.
. After this accident, the steam engines soon
regained their superiority, aud the works were
recommenced. Some months had passed
when a second eruption took place. This tilde,'
Isamhard was in the, tunnel. He had just left
the buckler and was half wnV down one of the
.passages,'when the cry of water! water! struck
his ear. *Ile sprung forward,- and having no
