those rcmiuiscinccs did to an impulse in that bo
som both grateful and honorable to our nature,
that I owe the consideration, of' which, under
circumstances so flattering, it has just given me
a proof. As such, and in the mime of his family
which is thus honored through me, and which,
with a harmony of opinion >o general, that it

If in the same connexion, gentleman, a little
more betrayal of filial feeling to he pardoned. I
may observe that k w as seen with deep dissatis
faction by his family during the canvass of our
elections ln.-t autumn, that the authority of tho
uame of their late venerated head was invoked
in the aid of the heresy of nullification. They
reject the invocation ; for it is not amongst their
recollections ol him that in the lessons of duty to
country so often & so strenuously enjoined upon
thi ni by him, oppiigualion to the constitution &
laws of that country, so plainly taught in the res
olutions of November, 1833, by tho State Rights

"Yesterday, I received a paper from the hand
ofVVm Y. Hansell, Esq. purporting to be the co
py of a citatiou signed by Henry Baldwin, Esq.
one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the
U. States (a copy of which is herewith transmit
ted.)requiriug the State of Georgia to appear be
fore the Supreme Court oil the 2nd Monday of
January next, to answer to that tribunal for ha
ving caused a person who had committed murder
within the limits of this State, to be tried aud
couvicted therefor.
"This mandate can be considered in no other
fight than another aud third attempt to control
the State iu the exercise of its ordiuary criminal
jurisdiction, which has been vested by our consti
tution exclusively in our own Superior Courts.
Such a control over our criminal jurisdiction as
this proceeding indicates, has never been delega
ted to the U. S , and consequently cannot be ae-
quiesedin, or submitted to, by the people and au
thorities of Georgia. The powers not delegated
by the conslitutiou of the United States, nor pro
hibited by it to the States, are reserved to the
States, respectively. Auy atttempt to infringe
the evident right of the state to govern its
entire population, of whatever complexion,
aud puaish all offences committed against
its laws within those limits (due regard
being had to the cases expressly excepted by the
constitution of the United States.) 1 consider a di
rect usurpation of power, which has never been
grauted by the States.
“Such attempts demand the determined resist
ance of the States, for, if persevered in. they will
eventuate the dismemberment and overthrow of
our great.confederacy. Iu exercising the duties
of our Executive Department, I shall wholly dis
regard all such unconstitutional requisitions, of
whatever character or origin, and to the utmost
of my power protect and defend the right of the
State, and to use the means afforded me to main
tain the laws aud constitution of the same,”
After reading the foregoing extracts from the
address of Judge Schley, and the measures of
Governor Lumpkin, no further doubt can exist
iu the mind of any reasonable man, as to his
course in similar cases, or his genera! adherence
to those great fundamental principles which form
the true basis of the Union Democratic Republi
can creed.
Nevertheless, the nullificrs will go on to de
nounce him a federalist, and to charge him with
opposing the election of Mr. Jefferson, and sup- j
porting the cause of old Johu Adams &e. &c. &c.
to the end of the chapter: and this they will do
for tho want of better employment. But iu this
there is a gross fabrication, and when it is known
that Judge Schley was a hoy of only ten or ele
ven years old when Mr Jefferson was first elected,
the sense of the country will set down the charge
to the same spirit of reckless malignity wich is ev
ery day pouring out its maladictions upon the
heads of Audrew Jackson aud his friends.
The friends of tho Union and State Rights
have nothing to fear from Judge Schley.—There
is enough of sound republicanism iu the adminis
trations, of Andrew Jackson aud Wilson Lump
kin, and he will maintain them.
Union men ! You know you are right—Go
ahead.
should he, calmly, but with energy, without blus
ter, withont violence, iu the language of high
minded meu, who appreciate their own character,
aud the dignity of their own country. In a set
tled determination to suffer tio degrading inter
ference with our legislative councils, all party
feelings seein forgotten, aud the assurance
I gavo to the French Government on my de
parture that every attempt ot this nature
would be repelled by the undivided energies of
the uatiou, seems nobly confirmed.—[Loud
cheers.]
This intimation would have been unnecessa
ry, ifthe character of our country had been known
aud appreciated. Bui 1 am sorry to S4y that
two opposite parties in France seemed to vie w ith
each other in inventing calumnies to degrade our
national character—and the tribunes ol the
Chamber of Deputies from clay io day resound
ed with the vilest terms of reproach applied to our
merchants, who was represented as fraudulent ad-
veuturers; to our Government as endeavouring,
by the most infamous arts, to support their uu
founded claims. Not the least mortifying cir
cumstance as was sarcaslically but truly observ
ed by one of the Ministers, was, that those who
made these charges were supported by the* votes
anil encouraged by the applause of the Republi
can party aud among them by many ofihe triends

Approbation of my public services during the
From the Neio York Journal of Commerce.
MR. LIVINGSTON’S DINNER.
The public dinner given on Thursday evening
at the City Hotel, to Mr. Livingston, our late
Ambassador to France appears to have been a
vety handsome affair. Among the invited guests
as we learn from the Po3t, were Comm adore
Ridgely and Elliot, Governor Wolf, aud the Hon.
Mr. Riiggles, of Maine, Colonel Canonge and
Mnutnn. of Louisana. Letters were received
from Mr. Vail Buren, Secretary Woodbury, Go
vernor Marcy. Messrs Rives, Barry, Kendal], &
J. Fenimoie Cooper, expressing their regret at
finding themselves unable to attend. The fourth
toast was offered hy the Chairman, (at the close
of an appropriate address, which was responded
to he enthusiastic cheers,) as follows :
Edward Livingston, as a patriot & Statesman
he belongs to America, as a J urist and philosopher
to the world. His exposition of the 25th of
April embodies the sentiments of his countrymen,
and stands a text hook for the American Diplo-
matists-
Ou the annunciation of this sentiment, Mr.
Livingston rose, and with a voico tremulous with
emotions tho scene and occasion were calculated
to excite, thus addressed the company;
1 had arranged some phrases which I thought
might suit the occasion. But they are driven
from my mind by the impulse which the scene
around me most naturally produces. I find them
tame, flat, powerless to express the feelings by
which I am oxcilcd—agitated—almost overpow
ered.
Gentlemen—I did not expect thi?, I returned
without having attained final success in my mis
sion. F returned without satisfactory, but hum
ble consciourness of having done my duty; and
1 anticipated uo other pleasure on my return
than the greetings of personal friends, and that
exquisite sensation whichonc who loveshis coun
try feels, when, after a long absence, his foot first
presses his native shoro. Such of you gentle
men, as have been abroad, will uuderstand this.
But all of you must join me iu lamenting, that
the poverty of our language has uo other word
than the vague one of country to express the re
lation between it and its citizens. We have no
derivative from the patria of the Romans, and
have not adopted the Fader-land of our Saxon
Ancestors. Nothiog can he more appropriate to
express the feeliug, nothing more resembles the
filial duty and affection, that the obligation we
owe to our native laud, or the attachment which
binds us by voluntary ties to the country of our
adoption. But if we have not the word in our
language, we have the seutiments in our hearts
fraucs, but also to adulterate it, and stamp na

Gentlemen, I must not be misunderstood. I
speak of the opposition composed of the most
heterogeneous materials—ultra royalsists. ultra lib
erals. republicans, aud other malcontents, who
have united on using the most untiring efforts to
break the faith of the nation, solemnly pledged
and embroil two countries having every motive
of interest and honour to unite, and not ouo to
divide them. 1 do not speak of the Adminis
tration, nor of the King. On the contrary, I
seize this public occasion to declare that I never
doubted the sincere desire of his Maj< sty faithfully num ini ■—■

candidly avowed iu the last debate that lie had
not used all the efforts he had intended to have
doue. and which, from his known’ influence and
ability, would have ensured complete succ- ss.
From that time to the arrival of the President’s
message. I still did justice to the desire of the Ad
ministration to fulfil the treaty, although 1 could
not be dissatisfied with the non-performance of
Mr. Serrurier’s promise (according to our con
struction, which I always considered as the true
one) and had reasons ns I thought to complain
that no assurance would be Riven of making it
a Cabinet question. After that period I take
pleasure iu bearing witness to the diligence and
activity which were shown iu preparing the doc
uments to demonstrate the justice of onr claims,
the talent and eloquence with which the treaty
was supported, and the ungenerous imputations
on our country’ were repelled by the minis-ers.
This adhesion to the ameudmert of G
Valaze astonished and grieved me. I strove to
counteract its effects by the note, gentlemen,
which you have seen, ai d which since is approv
al by the President, I siiil hope may remove this
difficulty. Should this fail—should one word of
additional explanation be required; the good in
telligence between the two countries is at once
interrupted, perhaps destroyed. The voice of
this country, thank God. is decided on that sub
ject—[Cheers.]—The dignity ofthecouutry must
at all hazards, be preserved. The great scour
ges of nations are succeeded generally hy the re
medies which a benignat Providence has ordained
for them. Peace effaces the ravages of war—na
ture repairs the destruction of pestilence, and
years of abundance console us for the puvarions i
of famine; but the prostrated dignity of a conn- I
try can never be restored.
