vile inmion, and the enslaving master.
1 lie inackCst page ol history has exhibited no
more contemptible object than tne pimp, the pander
an ! t.ic parasite. The ambitious .pretender who
prostitutes his talents to the vile purposes of flattery,
h) betraying the Confidence &sporling with the free
dom of a nation; ranks deservedly below theinfamv
olCatahue and the tyranny ofCaligula. Ambition,the
love of glory and the hope of power, have urged
man)- aspiring demagogues to deeds of desperate
daring, and deathless infamy. The all-controlling
influence of office ; the deep-rooted maligity of pri
vate hate; the soul-polluting poison of paltrv pelf
have swerved from the path of duty, abler and per
haps better men than yourself, vet there is something
in the abandonment of principle, so odious ; there is
something in the dereliction of dutv so transccn
dently mean, that charity itself would not dare to
diaw a veil over tne enormity of that conduct,which
in its piesent bearing sinks our once proud State to
the condition of a colony, and in its ultimate effects,
may bury the freedom of your constituents in the
overwhelming power of manufacturing monopolists,
and governmental hirelings. That stooping to the
powers that be;that sycophantic cringeing to the lit
tle petty tyrants.that rule the hour, which has been
so abundantly exemplified in your misrepresentation
oi the principles and wishes oi this |>cople ; lias
been m every .age. and every country, the begining
ofcrrrupfiou; the signal for the surrend ;r offrcedoim
lou are well enough acquainted with the rise
and sass of empires to know, that the liberty of a
people never was lost in a day. The approaches
of tyranny have ever been slow, and silent, and un
seen. Degeneracy springing from the crcat foun
tain ofpower, spread it’s Utter wafers first over the
me fattened wretches that wallow in the luxuries
ol tbe palace, and are thence through the conduits
of faithless public servants, poured out to poison the
hitherto uncorrupted atmosphere which all alike
must breathe. Jn this declining state of political
morality, when all are surrounded with the putrid
miasma exhaled from the stagnant pool of corrup
tion, the man who in the purer days of the common
wealth would have spurned the imputation of ordi
nary inconsistency, now in the declension of a na
tioss morals, hugs to his heart the price of his vir
tue ; and reaches forth his hand red with blood, or
polluted with gold, to grasp the diadem that glit
ters in the crown of Caesars. The voice of a Suffer
ing country, whose feeblest wailing once roused his
heart and nerved his arm, is hushed by the talisman
ic influence of proffered reward ; and long ere an
unsuspecting and credulous community are aware
of the danger, the chains which have’been forged
by hi* time •servemg legislation, arc rivited by the
bayonets of a mercenary and hireling soldiery,
ihe daring invader ol a nation’s rights, raised by
the power of patronage above the immediate tribu
nal of tbe people, despises their sufferings and for
gets the truth of the fundamental maxim, that gov
ernments were instituted for thegood, and should be
ad minute red for the happiness of the governed.
Madly bent on the accomplishment of his unholy
purposes, he wins the confidence, that he may abuse
the rights of the people ; he flatter's and then betrays
them. If turning to the pastor present history of
your life, you recognize in yourself the most promi
nent image in this dark and hated picture, you may
find some consolation perhaps in the reflection that
others in governments not much more corrupt, have
been guilty of conduct not much less abandoned.
There is an opinion to which reason, philosophy
and religion, have lent ihetr sanctions, that the acts
of man take the hue of their criminality from the
circumstances under which they are committed. If
this opinion be correct, there is a criminality in your
recent conduct, which finds no parallel in the prof
ligacy of the past, aud may ncf'be equalled by the
degeneracy of the future. Nero and Caligula, :\lax
arnina and Alacrinus flung into power, by the sub
serviency of an abandoned senate, and wielding the
whole strength of a murderous and lawless soldiery,
might have apparently found some excuse in their
perilous situation for the overthrow of established
order, and the destruction of the glimmering lights
of freedom. Time and change, war and carnage,
the triumphs of treason and the laxity of govern
ment, had there gradually worn away the institu
tions which valor and virtue, had established. The
government virtually rested on ihc soldiers arm.
The laws enacted by a mere mockery of civil pow
er, were scouted by the armed force that surrounfl
ed the Senate-house, o'r enforced at thor point of the
lanCe and the s j tear. Tyrants seeing such a state
of tilings, might well have calculated on destroying
that remnant of liberty, which yet lingers amongst
its few remaining votaries, l’crmit me to enquire,
in all seriousness, if you have discovered in your
constituents any of those presages of approaching
death, which marked the miseries of!toman misrule,
and on which you seem to have predicated your
legislative conduct? Had the laws from their in
justice and oppressive tendency become so weak,
and the affections of the people consequantly so a
lienated, its to justify the course you have lately
pursued in the congress of the country? I allude
to your vote on the Enforcing Bill, or the Bill of
bj, "od, as it has been significantly termed.
in Russia and Turkey, where despotism rules the
hour, strong handed measures maybe justified oy
the groud, that the wrath of savages finds no abate
ment but in their fears: and hence that the hatchet
nnd the sabre, are arguments most likely to con
vince a slave, that he has rebelled against his mas
ter. The tyrants pica of necessity is admitted.
The glorv of the sovereign, the artificial splendor ol
tlie throne, the infamous scheme of governmental op
pression calls for the blood, and demands the sacri
fice ol the offending subjects. No light of reason,
of liberty, or of law. shines upon the gloom of the
palace or tlm wretchedness of the people. No or*

straints of a well directed public opinion, restrains
the licentiousness of revolution, or calms theagitated
billows of popular discontent. The wave rolls on.
The IKittle comes. Tlk' blood of thousands sinks
in the earth. The stopui dies away ; and the des
pot as he contemplates tfie ruin, rejoices that the
iron pillowsof his throne have been strengthened by
the bones, and brightened by the blood of his
subjects. Wha* similarity have you discover
ed between the high minded freemen of this
country, and the wretched serfs who perish un
derthe despotism alluded to? Gn what blotted
page of the world's history ; in what perverted por
tion ofhuman p' udcnce have you discovered, that
the same measures of menace and murder, are ne
cessary to control the indignant feelings of your in
jured fellow citizens, that are called for in the hour
of a tyrants troubles, to curb the licentiousness of
thoughtless and degraded sLives 1 Where have
voe found that want of attachment to the true and
well defined principles of the constitution, which
called for the intervention ofmilitarv force, to com
pel us to crouch like vassals,and ohev through fear?
\\ here is the glory likely to rc*ilt to voursclfovhosc
brilliancy, and whose brigntnivs, shall satisfy ihc
free born spirits of this people, for the loss of all that
gave character to the country, and happiness to
the condition of-yonr individual countrymen? If
the talented and peuerous sons of Carolina, or anv
other portion of the southern people, were regar
ded in such a light by the master or minion, who in
attempting to gratify a mean personal revenge, have
virtually changed flic form of our government; then
have you mistaken the character of the victim, as
well as the glory that will result from the sacrifice.
Sir, you have counted too confidently on the
strength, which the present chief magistrate mav
grant you in this struggle with your constituents.
The people of this country have yet independence
enough to face the frowns of power; and intelli
gence enough to discern the wrath of the High I’riest
as he desecrates their long cherished altars. They
may for a time feel reluctant to loose from their af
fections the man, who defended his country on the
plains of Orleans,but they sec, and time will make
them feel,that as Chief Afagist rates ofthis “Unit Na
tion ’ he has wiltully pervcited principles ofgovern
ment,more important to their future security, than
evqp that signal victory was to their past. Party spirit
mav mislead and distract us un matters of minor
importance ; hut a direct, dangerous, and wilful at
tack on the vital principles of our political existence,
can only be borne hy Slaves, or those fust sinking
to that wretched condition.
America’s President, Sir, as well as Georgia's
recreant Senator, have misjudged ihc spirit anil
the patriotism of this people. We are not prepared
hy previous corruption,to sec the edicts of au unfeel-'
mg majority in Congress, enforced at the p; hit
of the bayonet. We are r.ot yet ready to be hold the
brave and chivalrous sous of the South, dangling
from the gallows for a difference of political opin
ion. W e are not yet satisfied, that we have joined
a confederacy,which in its probable oppiessions may
grind us to the earth ; and yet from which we have
no chance to escape, except through civil and fra
ternal blood. We have not yet been convinced,
that the voice of a just and reasonable complaint,
ought to be silenced bv the roar of cannon, or hush
ed by the weapon of death; and you will learn
when it may be too late, that the independent yeo
manry of this State have a spirit which your venal
vote never can bend ; a republican virtue which
will not wither beneath the spreading boughs of your
revived, and flourishing federalism. I speak in sor
row not in anger. If it was in the nature of things
to avert the unpleasant consequences which may re
sult to our own State fro ;i the measures which you
have advocated, still, their ultimate hearing on the
institutions handed down from our fathers, would
render such a course of conduct most transcendant-
Iv flagitious.
Apart, however, from the general injury, you
stand charged with misrepresenting the principles,
and betraying the rights of those, whose partiality
had promoted you to your dangerous elevation.—
The people of Georgia, generous and confiding, ne
ver dreamed that they had entrusted their present
glory and future freedom to the hands ol One, who
would betray them to the enemy; no- did they
once suppose, that their talented and able Senator,
nursed by their smiles, arid warmed into political
life by their suffrages, would endeavor to bind them
neck umi lv els, and sacrifice them on the altar of
his unhallowed ambition. They had, indeed,
heard of such things in the corrupt times of diaries
the First, of England, and Ferdinand the Seventh of
Spain, but they thought our own country yet too
young and pure, to revive the lessons of individual
prostitution and governmental misrule, which bro’t
the one of those monatohs to the block, and the sub
jects of the other, to something worse than mortal
slaverx - . And last and least of all. did Georgia ex
pect that her own son. to whom she had entrusted a
portion of her delegated authority, would be one a
mongst the first to trrmple hi the dust, all her just
notions of State Sovereignty; and proclaim in the
councils of the country, that that soverciantv had
been surrendered t<> die General Government and
swallowed up in themighly vortex of National Su
premacy. llad not your native state sufficiently
felt me heavy hand, of unjust, and unequal legisla
tion? Was not tho power of patronage and the in
fluence of gold, like*)' enough to outweigh the liber
ties of the people, without flinging the sword of
Benin's into the scale oftiic oppressor? It was c
nough, that year after year the withering influence
unconstitutional taxation,liad checked thefountains of
of public prosperity, and dri ed up the streams of
individual enterprise. It was enough, that the bay
onet of the hireling soldier in times past, had been
pointed at our iinfaultcring hearts and brandished
before our unblenching eyes, by command ol that
government whose puissant aim you have aided to
make more powerful. It was enough, that the
mighty mandate of the Federal Judiciary had went
forth, attempting virtually to prostrate the altars ot
our domestic security; and reduce our once thought
independent Slate, to the contemptible condition of
colonial But it was too much, I repeat it
Sir it was too much, that in addition to all this ac
cumulated wrong, the viper she had nourished in
her bosom, should further attempt to suck the life
blood from her heart ; and regardless of tho dearest
rights and most fondly cherished political princi
ples of her citizens, aid ,in the total overthrow oi
her reserved sovereignty, by arming the Federal
Executive with the same alarming power that tto.e
the daring Cesar across the Rubicon, and placed
tho bloody Caracalla on the throne.
No personal injury, ordinary public conduct
could have provoked your former friend to the ap
parent bitterness of these remarks. An error ol
the head might he forgiven ;a mistake momentarily
j effecting some minor interest, might hi the remetu
| hiring human frailty, be forgotten. But to sacrifice
our rights for the favour of the Kjeeutiw : to fling
the suern and crippled freedom of jour eons'-itucii*.
at the iron so-et ot die destroyer, tofrest the sah a
tioi i ol your countrys liberty on die 'arbitrament of
the sword and the award ol its bearer, are offences
aga.inst thej personal interests and constitutional im
munities of a free people, whose voice of resantmont
neither fear, or friendship, time or terror, shall si
lence or appease.
It was your vaunted boast on a former occasion,
that you gwas always ready for trial.'’ Gan vou
j you say as much now? Are you ready for that aw
iul trial and fearful condemnation which awaits you
at the tribunal ot your injured and misrepresented
fellow citizens? Ifso.sfep boldly forth. Lei loose
the hand of the executive, and depend on your own
unassisted strength. Abide the decision of!.' tri
bunal, where you shall hereafter be arraigned ; and
if hy its judgment you stand free of censure, I shall

I .remi ts lie rendered the State,, when her rights were
I cndunucrgi!—her hbcrtns |hr ■atened—her territorial
; jurisdiction denied, and lit r sovereign!; ridiculed. The
strong arm oi fi ileral pov.i r was extended over her, and
disregarding alik tne justice of her chujC, and the im
portance ol the principle •ivoitid in the controversy, its
potency, b. v * xceiilivo direction, was to lie the arbiter
i t right, anil the and cider of liic contest. Tile impoten
cy ol executive threats,.was d< lined, and the State, pois
ed on Ik r sovereignty, was prepared ;o resist unto death,
governmental o; pn .>n and federal usurpation. At
that time, tienrgia was dii-tractnl hv party-excitement,
and rent asunder hy internal divisions. Iler sisler
•jtutes manifested no interest in her cause, no feeling (dr
hei situation. Through their Legislatur.they treat
ed her with the severity of col J neglect, and her cause
with the cruelly of bitter opposition. The press—the
palladium of our liberties—levelled the thunder of ils
artillery against her course—and public opinion, with
its weight, was prepared to grind lo powder the cham
pion o! her rights. In that day of fearful res|K> inability,
T’ncvt* was superior lo the dangers by which lie was
surrounded—ai.d by purpose, energy of ac
tion, p. rsavcrei.ee ofeondm t, and wisdom of counsel,
he achieved a victory, that has done more for State
rights and Southern-interests, than any one, since the
memorable revolution of ISO!. AVe have just cause to
apprehend, that the diffictiiti. s in relation to our newly
acquired Territory, are not all surmounted—and tve
know, from fearful signs, that the rights of the States,
and the interests of the South, stand on precarious foot
ing, aud ure held by an insecure tenure. Jfit should
become neccsary to vindicate the rights of the former,
or protect the interest of the latter, it will he important
to have in tile Executive chair, a man, characterized by
great decision of character, strength & independence
of mill I—soundness 1 —soundness of political principles—and sterling
integrity of heart. The crisis demands such quallifiea
tions for Governor in every State—and Georgia, from
the part site is destined to act, in the great coutest, that
is now waging for power, will require at her helm the
soundest head she has, tli • firmest heart she claims. On
whom then can she call, with more certainty, than the
Son of her choice, too Champion of her rights? This
question should be settled—and the sootier, the better.
Gen. Hautilion’n closing Speed:.
Mr. Turnbull having moved that the Convention be
adjourned, and Mr. Philips, of All Kaii.ts having ob
jected that the relations between Georgia and the Gene
ral Government might soon require the further action of
that Convention,Gen. Hamilton said:
In rising to sustain the motion of Iris friend from
Charleston, he felt the impropriety of trespassing at a
moment like the present, on tne lime and patience of
the Convention, lie would therefore be brief. He
hoped that ill the terms of our adjournment, the word
“dissolved” would be use'll, that it might be emphatical
ly put on record that this body was dissolved ami that
100 by its own vol.tion. Tins would at once silence the
reproaches that nad been heaped upon our tsiate, that
there existed among us a standing, organised, omnipo
tent anil revolutionary body to strike wherever and
whenever we will, ready to dissolve the very fabric ol
Government. Let us give back to the people that so
vereignty with which they clothed us, return to our
homes U> perform the duties w e owe there, aud in the
solace the performance ol those duties would give, as
suage some of those asperities of which this painful con
test has been so prolific. Absolute power was undeed a
potentious trust! Now, tii.it the special duty which tiie
people ussigtieil to us, lia 1 been performed he felt satis
fied the Convention desired to surrender what cannot
long be safe in the hands of any man or set of men—
safe only in the hands of Hun who unites to omnipo
tence, unbounded justice, wisdom and benevolence.
This Convention bad done enough, amidst all theob
iiquy which had been poured upon it. it Irad struck
successfully for lire liberties ol the Country—lt had as
serted and maintained, amidst circumstances of stupen
dous difficulty and dismay, the rigiits of the fitalcs arid
.lire Hue theory of the Constitution—lt has secured to
our industry, as far as the faith of legislation could se
cure it, a comparative freedom of trade, vtcadily and
gradually augmenting, and last though not least, it had
vindicated and upheld another glorious example of
peaceful as well as successful resistance to unauthorized
power.
lie could not assent to the reason which tbe patriotic
gentleman from All Saints (Mr. I’lullips) hud urged for
our continuance in power, that the General Government
might coerce Georgia, because it was understood after
lire passage of lire Force Bill, tire Cherokee had sus,
pended their negotiations and that two of the sections
of that Bill were enacted in special reference to our
contumacious neighbour, and lienee we ought to he rea
dy and in a position to assist her. In reply he would
barely remark, that we were not a Convention of the
people of Georgia but of the people of South-Carolina,
and God knows, we have bad difficulties enough ol our
own to contend with, without now indulging in a vo
lunteer crusade in behalf of those who, at least, on the
first onset were fully capable of taking care of tlicrn
stlvcs. Besides Ire did not ’relieve, even if Georgia
pushed to the very extremity of violence, tho claims
of her territorial supremacy, “ our good king would
touch a hair upon her head, it was well known that this
amiable monuicb had two measures'of justice, one for
those whom he likes and one for those whom Ire hates,
one for one tide of the Savannah Rifcr and one sot
the other side, and lie felt satisfied tlvat in the discrimi
nating justice and tender mercies of the royal Losohi,
our friends there were quilo safe.—But it they were not,
if tire President, with that way ward eapriccwhicb some
times belongs to men in power,should change his policy
towards our neighbor, or find his own head in the very
noose ho vainly thought bis new allies had prepared for
our necks, —our legislature is amply, competent to meet
I the exigency which the peri) of a sister State would pro-
I sent. At such a crisis as this South-Carolina, through
l Ireroidiuarv constitutional organs would not (alter. No,I
| she would not, for u saving grace with the other States,
declare that “ vve abhor Nullification,’’ because it was
I Geort’ii Nullification,and happened not to be our own ;

a distempered public opinion, persecuted, outraged and

fratricidal dagger in her bosom—No, if our Legislature
fallen to do its duty, our people by one Consentaneous
bust of enthusiasm whoa Id rush to the rescue. If her
je<rib!ature did not deserve tiii* at our hands, the gallant
bund in that State who have stack to us w ith such a
s i aily friendship “ thro’ evil and thro’ good report,” who
have never despaired of the cause, who have given us
their generous sympathy when even kind words brought
comfort with them, and promised their 3trong arms and
stout Hearts at tiiat moment when words w ould have been
of no avail, are entitled to this at our hands. L-t us

l estorduy. I paid a visit to my' father’s grave. A thou
s i ul recollections, rushed at once like a torrent upon
in . mum. Seven summer* have now passed away since
saw (ne green sod piled upon his breast: and oh, shall
t evil forget that hour, the most wretched of my life.
y rsii-.li ! forget the sensations tiiat filled mr breasl,
as l.i i c0.,1 damp clods foil rumbling nnon his coffin;
and never shall I forget the cold, icy chill that rushed
to my heart, as that melancholy sound graced mv ear.
it was then I saw myself thrown upon a cold unfeeling
world, a poor ami cheerless orphan, with notone friend,
or one prob cler, to give me one kind consoling word,
save her whose affections time, nor circumstance#, can
ever alieuati she who will love me, though all the
world forsake rue—she whose love nothing can weaken
or obliterate—-she who will ever watch ever me with
unceasing Kolieititude, who will smile at iny prosperity,
and weep lor mv misfortunes. Yes, though the glooms
ol sorrow and misfortune hover around my head, there
is olid to whom I will ev, r be dear, one whose love noth
ing can itdiuenpe, and which will never forsake me,
though I should be disgaced and degraded forever;—
so r, 1 need not name. Alas! how irzny changes have
lalicn pUcn --Uicn then— Wow many; like try self, have
been made orphans—how many have drank, to the very
i.rcgs, the bitter cup of misfortune and sorrow—and how
many, like myself, Jiav'o’ been launched out into this
w ide world’s billowy ocean, to buffet, unaided and alone;
fhc various sccnses of life.
