: .-'IT* VICTORY—TRIUMPH OF | serve ilv i i.
PRIINC1PLE.
A voice from Old Chatham' which we
truss will he reverberated from the Mountains
bf our st .to in October next, has in animated
penis proclaimed the attachment of iter sous
to the Union of these States, and their deter-
initiation to lnuiutuin the glorious “Stars and
Stripes,* not only from foreign aggression, but
from more deadly assaults of that doctrine
which in South Carolina ha* been yclept
“Nullification,” and in Georgia disguised
under the more seductive title of “State
Rights.”
Monday was a proud day. The people
ro>o in the majesty of tin ir strength and em
phatically proclaimed through the Ballot Hoi,
their detestation of thedoctrino of Nullification
Olid its advocates. In vain were appeals
made to their predilections. They rallied,
and attested .their devotion to “Principles,
not Men.” It is but fitting thntiu that county
whore the spirit of‘7G burned so brightly in
the bosoms of their fathers, their sons should
preserve it in its vesta) purity. They have
done so by proclaiming to the world their un
shaken, uudlterahlo attachment to the Union
of these States, their abhorrence of all its co
mics, secret and open. Each party ran its
ticket; and never before was so large a vote
pol e l at it City election.
“Coming events cast their shadows before
them.” This election was considered as the
touch-stone of the election in October. Glo-^
rioitsly, most gloriously have the People 6?
Chat bam vindicated ilieif attachment to the
institutions of their common country. The
adopted citizens of America aided to swell
the majority. The election resulted in the
sttcci S' of the entire Union aad -State Rights
ticket for Aldermen. The least vote receiv
ed by tiny Union candidate exceeded the
highest received hy any State Rights candi
date by two hundred and fifty four votes.—
This is the first time the election of Aldermen
has been made a party question.
The following is the result.

Twelve persons principally passengers, were
scalded, eight of which have since died. The

She arrived at our landing late on Saturday’
night, and her deck presented a melancholy
spectacle of tho dead add the dying—three or
four deaths having occurred since her arrival.
The names of those who have died are Augus

of Dayton; the child of Aaron Valentine, of
this city ; John, Bap'isti, residence unknown ;
a woman and two children, name and residence

THE UNION BARBECUE.
On Tuesday last, as soon as the votes taken
• for Aldermen had been counted, and the glori
ous result mado known, a large number of Uiv
ion and Stato Rights Men formed into a pro
cession preceded by 'the proud Standard of
our Country and u ’banner on which was in
scribed the-word Union, and marched out to
tho 'White House, a mile and a half ftom
the City on the White Bluff Road, where a
Barbecue was prepared. A temporary shed,
one hundred and forty feet long, bud been
constructed, and tables laid under it. -Over
one end the “Stars and Stripes” Heated to the
breeze,
“AjuLbrncath it hundreds of Freemen had met.
With heat ts that no'DesjJot can e’er bo enslav

Many individuals from tho country were
present, and Adam Cope, who had hcade'd
the Union’Ticket, being unanimously called
upon, took the'head of aho inblc when they
fell to on the viands prepared with appetites
sharpened bv their good spirits at the glorious
victory just achieved.
Never was there a more joyous assembly.
Hilarity erpl good feeling were on every face.
They had met as freemen to celebrate their
triumph at the Ballot-Box, to interchange con
gratulations on the past, to prepare themselves
for fresh victories in future.
In tho cottise of the afternoon, in answer
to tho enthusiastic calls from the large assem
blage, addresses and sentiments were delivered
by the Hon. James M. Wayne, 31. Hall 31c-
Allistcr, Wm. W. Gordon, John Milieu,
G ’orge Slack, 31. Mvcrs, W. If. Stiles, R.
W. Pooler, and Rob’t 31. Ciiarllon, Esqrs.
The principles of the Union and State Rights
Party of Georgia vere ably and eloquently
elucidated by the several speakers, and they
were enforced with a cogency of argument
which riyctted conviction to ;hc mind of every
hearer. Loud and frequent bursts of applause
testified the hearty approbation of the senti
ments uttered by the speakers. The follow-
: tg sentiment was sent by Wm. B. Bulloch, Esq.
ho was not able to be present. It was pre-
I'.aed by appropriate remarks from Col. 31. i

its advocates. They responded to the patri
otic sentiments of the speakers with a lervor
which plainly sprang from tho inmost recesses
of their feelings.
Nothing occurred to mar the festivity of the
meeting. At about half an hour before sunset,
u numerous prori>«ion was again formed and
marched back to the city and through some of
the principal streets, after which they dispersed
in an orderly manner, determined, as it were,

shey would kill it ou the first 3Ionday in Octo
ber.

From the favorable toport ot medical gentle

will terminate as suddenly as it originated.

that derive the right from the same principles,
from the same clause or provision ot' the consti

right which they they claim is a constitutional
right, from the saiuo process of reasoning.
Though the same looseness of construction, tho
same disposition to base important principles on
inference aud implication, is common to them all;
yet ono takes his start from ono point, and an

not rest upon such principles. According to tiie

poiuted rendezvous of nullification at last.
T.hc ultra nollihers of tit? Galhoan school, base
their doctrine upon the Cntirc, iudivisiblo sove
reignty of the states. The state governments,
say they.' are perfect sovereignties, and the fede
ral government is only their agent: and therefore
tho state governments, as the principals, have a
right to refuse obedience to all those acts of their
federal agent, wherein they have exceeded their
chartered instructions. But it would seem to. us
that if the state governments ara tho principals,
and the federal government only'an agency,
tjicn it would make no kind of difference wheth
er an act of tho federal government was consti
tutional or not: the state'governmcut would have
equally the same right of resistance—a right
based ou their sovereignty could be exercised at
cd from its sanctions. This would be only do
ing in an iudirect manner, what site confes
sedly could not do directly; and tho turpitude,
of the act would be increased, by the cxenrise
of fraud aBd deceit.
But the Judge asks, shall wo submit to tho
exercise of usurped powers? Wc ask in return^
shall wc resist coustitu'ional ones 1 and this
brisgs us to aaiother, who shall decide for us ?
wo answer, the umpire which all parties have,
agreed upon. In the formation of the constitu
tion an umpire was established for tiie settle
ment of disputes arising under it: and that dis
putes should be thus settled, is a part of the con
tract, wh : ch is as binding as any other part.

have pot condescended to explaiq their mode of
reasoning, or the steps by which they arrive at
their conclusion, we are left iu tho dark ou this
head.
Judge Berrien in his address to the tiullificrs
of Savannah at their auniversary celebration,

may be taken as the creed of the blue school nul-

If therefore the federal goverument, through

ou the extent of its powers” it is la virtue of the-
contract to which all aro parties, aud which

right to nullify. Nay, his remarks' on this head
very clearly establish tho contrary.
“The powers (says he) which were conferred
upon tho functionaries of tho stato governments,
were so conferred hy tho people of each state to

or. becoming astute at the earliest day. For
this object they have taken measures for as
certaining how far they arc entitled to claim
the benefit of the ordinance, and set up for
themselves. A proclamation has bean issued
by the acting governor, for an extra session of
the Legislative. Council, to be held on tlu:
1st of September. The principal purpose is.,
so their papers inform us, to cause a census of
the population to be taken, and if it exceeds
60,000, to exercise their right under the U, S.
constitution of framing a constitution for them
selves, electing Senators and Representatives,
and demanding admission as a right. If re
fused admission, according to tho doctrines
maintained «a the Missouri question, they will
be a sovereign State, though not in the Un
ion.
Another purpose for which the session is
convoked.i >s to take measures for extending
jurisdiction over the Dubuque mines, a part
of the country west of the Mississippi,- whose
irregular political condition has been frequent
ly noticed.—Baltimore American.
overnmeut,
it is an admitted maxim, that tho sovereignty
resides with riio people. But in tho application
of this principle to.thoso two classes of agents,
very different ci.rrumstanevs would be found to
exist. The powers which had been conferred
on the stato functionaries, would bo revokablo
at tbo will of the people of tho state conlcrriog
them. They alone had given, and wore there
fore competent to reclaim them. But the pow
ers which had been entrusted to their federal
agents, had Lcen conferred by tho people of
each stato, eoujointly with those of every other
state. It was obviously incompetent to the peo
ple of any cue state, by their single volition, to
reclaim that which had been thus conferred by
tho joint act of all tho states. It would therefore
seem to follow that those powers thus .conferred
by tho joint act of all, and consequently not re-

Pirates.—The New York jCourier of the
25th ult. says—“Capt. Marshall, of the brig
Atlantic, arrived yesterday from Port au
Platt, was boarded off Cape Nicholas Mole by
a piratical Brigantine, Baltimore built clipper,
painted biack, with a red streak. Her crew
consisted of about fifty roeu, but one gun oh a
pivot was to be seen. She boarded the At
lantic two days in succession—first under A-
mcrican colors, and then under Spanish. The
Pirate abused Capt. 3Iarsuall, but the At
lantic having only mahogany on board, there
was nothing he could take away,—Charleston

STEAM BOAT EXPLOSION.
Painful Occurrence.—Wo have just learned
that the boilers of tho Steam Boat Tour, while
stopping at Blakely on Monday evening last for
the exchange of the mail, at .that place, burst, by
which accident' three persons' lost their lives.
Fears are entertained that others who are badly
injured, will not recover. The boat wo under
staud was broken, about midships, and almost
instantly junk, iq. about 35 or 40.feet water.
9ome of the mails ou board it is feared arc lost,
though it is said one .mail bag was picked up, a-
float. The person* dead arc, Janies C. Cook,
first engineer, a-carpenter by the name of Wil
son, and a fireman belonging to Mr. Wm. Kitch-
eu. A passcuger, an elderly gentleman, wear
ing his hair in a cue, name unknown, is supposed
to be among the killed.
Since writing tho above, wo have learned
from tho captaiu of ihe boat, that the elderly
person, who was supposed to be* among the
missing, is safe, and that all of the mails have
been recovered—-all of which we hope may turn
ont to be true.—Mobile Mer. Adv
out iu the constitution, or agreement between
tho parties, that is, by the assent of three fourths
of the states.”
Now after the admission ofthese broad princi
ples, ou effort to establish nullification, would no
doubt, bo a hopeless task with ineii of ordinary
capacities. But the judge is a practised meta
physician, and he ,ba# arrived .at the proposed
point joyev a track that seems to have excited
tbo wonder ami admiration of the millics them
selves.
But if the judge is correct in his reasoning and
stauces and the conduct of that gentleman
ho would not again resume the pen on the sub
ject of these remarks, did he not feel hound tP
correct some wrong impresssions which au oru-
clo of the last Backwoodsman might give to it’
readers. The Editor of that paper cannot see
auy inconsistency in the political course of Col.
'1 roup. Whether his organs of vision are wan
ting in the powers of ordinary optics, or wheth
er tho ’writers are gifted with an nucomiDOS
strcngih of discernment, 1 shall not stop to df'
tcrmiuc. Certain it is fcoyvcvcr, that our disco
veries are quite different. The Editor asks »
when Troup asserted that the will of the major-
constitutional, and resorted to uliat they tcrmci
constitutional resistance. They, like the wd-}'
tiers, claimed tho right of judging of the coy* 1 '®"
tionality of a law of Congress. They assent-
tlipir ••‘sovereignty.” Aud Troup, if he had p r °'
claimed those sentiments he afterwards ex| ,rC31 !
cd, would have admitted those claims, dcrlarw
they were in the right, aud congress had nc ri?-»
to “coerce” them. If he has not changed, n-
must suppose him to then possess the priucip f
avowed by the tiullificrs. but dared not expftS
them. With hypocritical cant ho endeavorcu t’
sustain measures which he felt to bo wrong— 111

claim powers vested in the U. "S. government,
because the instrument conferring those powers
was a compact betweem jhemselves and the
people of all the states—theu nhat becomes of
the doctrine of tbc entire sovereignty of tho
states, of the doctrine tbat a state may rigittfuily
do whatever the people in convention may
choose to do? Wliat becomes of the doctrine
ofscccssion, aud indeed of the whole catalogue
of slate remedies and slate action?
But the Judge is a nutfifier nevertheless.
Though a state cannot annul a contract made
by dll without the cousent of all; yet she may
throw herself upon her sovereignty whenever
sho pleases. She canuot break the contract her- ■
self—she is indissolubly bound by it.
