These things you mav not feel in the momentary triumph secured hv servilitv, hut rely upon it, there is a voice now sjjent, that shall be heard at that time in all its condemning, all its rive ing power. Count not too securely on the tranquil ity that cnaraetenses your constituents : ’tis the stilness that proceeds the storm. Rest not too safe ly on tho seeming sufferance widi which Georgia’s sons have looked upon .her senator ; ’tis the deep and silent workings of that indigent feeling, which m its fearful concentration shall bring him to his hopeless reckoning. Rely not too confidently on the mistaken belief that our freedom can be buried in your schemes ofambition witnout anefl'orffto save it, even in the last ditch. There is an Omnipotence now slumbering m each freemans heart, that shall correct the abuses of a government fast dwindling to decay, and bury in ils resistless march the truck ling time-server and the traitorous tyrant, the ser 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* ' •Muiif*di|lßtilimo(U ofliordom, .«** wholeion.f re- 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 believe tho days ol the Republic are numbered, that 1 even now see the beginning oi die END.

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.
