.mit v r. That the citizen u-.ves a paramount alle .lance to his own State:, is ably, plainly, and feelingly demonstrated, in the following arti c|c from the Winchester Virginian : « The duties of every man arise from his relations. Every citizen of Virginia holds to the State a certain relation ; and from that re iation his duties arise, lie receives protec tion from her law's—he must consequently c hev them. The idea that acitizen of Vir ginia may remain within her jurisdiction, and nullify her laws, by attempting to judge lor hi itself whether he lias not a paramount allegiance, is precisely the South Carolina doctrine, and fraught, with error. If sucli citizen conceive the,laws to infringe his su p rior obligations to some other sovereignty, he must Draytonize himself and go where the laws please him better. It would seem thus to result, that a citizen would be compelled to bear arms, oven against the forces of the mineral government, if required by the laws of the State to do so. Suppose him to he taken prisoner in such an act; is he a traitoi —shall he be hung! For what— for obeying the laws of hit State / Can he do otherwise —w ill lie not be hung if he do not obey ? Sli ill he, in either event, be hung ! if the tiieory bo true that a Wtate, in her sovereign capacity cannot dissolve the political obliga tions of her own citizens to the Union, then it necessarily follows that the citizen, liitn salf, must judge of his relative obligations: and most, in his own proper person, nullify the laws of one or two sovereignties,* when ever lie thinks his obligations to both are dis cordant. But he who is most vociferous a j.mist nullification, becomes thus—reduces himself to a support of this very doctrine.— He says the sovereign State, of which 1 am u citizen, shall not nullify, but I will myself da this very act; she shall not judge of the acts of the general government, but 1 will judge of her acts, and I will obey or disobey as u»y judgment teaches me that she is right or wrong. How small a portion of the popu lation, of any Slate in the Union, have the capacity and ability to do this—supposing they had the right. IJow, of necessity, there fore, docs it result, that the citizens of a State must obey its Jaws —that they cannot commit treason in so doing—and if they do not com mit treason, the State must hare power of dissolving the political obligations of her own citizens to any power, inconsistent with the obligations to herself. “it is not perceived that there is any tiling sophistical or delusive in this course of argu ment. Is there not much to support this view in the analogy of tilings ? It seems to be one of the laws of Providence, that the highest obligations are always associated with the purest endearments. The duty of a child to its parent, as it is the highest, so it is the most endearing of all relations. The rela tion of a citizen of Virginia to his State, is of the nearestand most endearing character ; for her bosom ho receives his sustenance ; his home is on her mountains or her vallies ; his wife or children he will leave to her protec tion; and beneath her green turf are inurned those sacred feelings, which his spirit could not sustain in the hour of his bereavement.— Is it not fair argument, from analogy, to infer the highest obligations, there, where arc the deepest sympathies!” tor. litnnpkiii and ‘"lsis l*j‘issciples.” A correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, writes thus from Washington City:— “Tile political relations lie (Gov. Lumpkin) Ikis so long maintained in the State, had iden tified him with Mr. Calhoun ;and in 1830, lie furnished -Mr. Calhoun with the first expos ure cf the «7ie«ic by which herrSH trertr, was intend* i\,sacrifccd for the bt nest of .Mr. Van Bun n." This is quite in character with the mis chievous and ambidextrous policy of the “Superintcndant of flic Mighty Workshop;’’ and that lie is determined to pursue it “to the death,” is evident from his late declaration, that ho is an advocate for Ratification : or, in other words, that he will in his capacity of GorcinOr of Georgia, confer Executive ap pointor nts upon such men as are opposed to fhc Planters enjoying the benefits which their slaves conler upon them, rather than tip on those w ho support the Planters, and do not wish to see their rights sold, or their property undervalued. Plant! rs of Richmond County —Planters of Georgia! will you commit suicide on your privileges, by voting for such a man. That Gov. Lumpkin is actuated bv the most selfish ambition in advocating Ratifica tion, is evident from tile direct and triumph ant lone in which it is announced by ihe Fed eral Union—fur it is known that he has de nounced the scheme of the convention as “grossly unequal and unjust.” And what is the Federal Union 7 Why, it is a paper print ed in Millcdgcville, at the Seat of Govern ment—a paper which has advocated the right of the General Government to SELL A STATE as a territory—and not only its negroes, but its WHITE MEN ANI) AND WHITE WOMEN, and ALL! — > lie Federal Union is the only paper in the •State, hat ing anything liko influence or a •tenoral circulation, that supports Governor Lumpkin. His Excellency is well aware of this fact—and aware of it, lie knows, if he does not obey the dictation of its “ State sell ing” principles, he would lie prostrated at a blow. Again we repeat, Planters ol Rich twadCouJity—Planters of Georgia! arc you prepared to give up your political rights, and and the value of your property, by voting for such a mats as Wilson Lum]..kin, or any ot his supporters.— Aug.

The proclamation of tlie President adver tising the Choctaw lands, in the State of ■Mississippi for sale, within so short a time, Ims taken the people i:i this part ol tlie coun try somewhat by surprize.

GEORGIA MESSEXCKR. File silence of the Federal Union, in re lation to the direct questions propounded in our last number, and the absence of all rea so" for that silence, we maintain is equiva lent to a distinct admission of the truth of the following statements: Ist. That Gov. Lumpkin in conversation with one of the Judges of the Superior Court, denounced the measures of the late Coven lion, as grossly unequal and unjust. 3d. That Gov. Lumpkin, since the com mencement ot the controversy between S. Carolina and the General Government bv let ter to Mr. Calhoun,or thru’ another channel, has induced that gentleman to believe that he was for South Carolina in feeling and in principle. 3d. i hat Gov. Lumpkin, since the rupture of personal and polit.cal friendship between Mr. Calhoun and Gen. Jackson, has professed unabated confidence,and esteem for the farmer, and that until an intimacy grew up between him and .Mr. Forsyth, he did warmly espouse the cause of Mr. Calhoun, against the com bined oppositiou of Jackson, Van Buren, Win. 11. Crawford and John Forsyth. 4th. That Gov. Lumpkin, or other distin guished individuals of the Clark l nionparty, have written letters to Mr. Calhoun, assuring him of the continued attachment of that party", and begging him to keep quiet, as there was no doubt the whole party would rally in his support, when the present excitement (which it was stated would only be momentary,) should pass away ; and that similar letters lias been addressed to Gen. Duff Greene, editor of the l . S. Telegraph.—And sth. That Dr. T. Fort does approve of all that is written editorially for the Federal Inion against Mr. Calhoun, notwithstanding his professions of unabated respect for that gentleman. _ arathiLia iiMmiTaaiLtta 181 k. 1 fi’Oli bOVIIRACIt, JOEL CRAWFORD. “Thai the principles and construction contended for hy sundry of (he State Legislatures, that the Gen. end Government is the exclusive jndge of the ex. tent of the powers delegated to it, stop nothing short ot DESPOTISM—since the discretion of those who administer the Government, am! net the < ON •VI1 Tl '1 ION, would be the measure of their pow. ers—l hat ihe several States who formed that in strument, being sovereign and independent, have the unquestionable right to judge of the infraction— and that a N ULLII- ICATION by those sovereign ties, of all unauthorised arts, done under coiorof that instrument, is the RIGHTFUL REMEDY.” Extract from Kent. lies, by That.

Extract from MSS Resolution by Huts. Jefferson. Proposed Efargaiu ! ! From theFiderul In on, of the 13 th tilt. “ At this time, we deprecate h controversy with the Troup Party. They are not now our opponents: our standard is taised against nulli fication. Regardless of former distinctions, we are anxious to unite, on equal terms, with all the friends of the Union. From this co-operation the old friends of Governor Lumpkin should desire to derive no partial or exclusive advantages : we know that they are ready to pursue a liberal course, rendering honor to talented friends of the Union, wherever they may be found.” Is the Federal Union induced to believe, be cause of the apparent success of the tampering with Wayne and Forsy th, that they can buy over the whole Republican party in the State, to their side!... .The import of the extract we have placed above is this; Troup men, we (the dark men) are losing ground—and vve shall he turned ou t of oliice. Well, there are some of von who are as inveterately opposed to the Nullifiers, as we arc... Now help us to keep our places and put them down and we will reward your labor!! The time lias been, when the very party who promulgates through its organ the above very sensible proposition to the Troup men—was the foremost in its denunciation of Bargain and Cor ruption Eure patriots that they were, their in te<rrity was incorruptible ! But alas! the pros pect of defeat will inevitably give their eyes something ts a squint to their own interest. But in sober seriousness, is there a citizen of Geor' gia who can read that article, and not feel his bo" som swell with honest indignation, at the pre. sumption of those who penned it? Troup or Clark — Union Democratic, or not, we care not what may be his politics, we ask does he not feel himself as a Georgian insulted by this pro position of the Federal Union 7 What! Are the honest members of the dark party willing to purchase power, at the expense of integrity *.... They profess to differ with us on principle (and an honest difference of opinion we respect;) But the Federal Union tells them, we care not, (and ; vve are your leaders) we care not for principle, our object is to get and retain power and office — with all their emoluments ; and vvliat matters it, JiOW we accomplish our end! Will the Clark party, (many of them we know to be too just) pass over in silence this proposition (so insulting to them) of a paper, aspiring to be their official organ and leader. Insolent as the proposition is, and therefore unacceptable to, and disregard ed hy the dark party, how grossly degrading is it, to the Troup men of Georgia. W hat reason have those who suggested the idea of bargaining with the Troup men to keep Gov. Lumpkin in power, to believe the Republicans ot Georgia, are so dishonest and so corrupt as to enter into any such agreement. \\ e would put it home to every Troup man in the Stale, what are your feelings, when you are asked to leave your own party, de sert the ranks of your friends, enrol yourself un der the banner of your enemies, and you will he paid out. of the public treasury. If the indig nation of an honest patriot did not fall heavy on the head ot him « he « ou!d dare to make the pro- position, we are grievously mistaken. Nay sup pose farther, the proposition was made to Troup himself! Is there a man who thinks so meanly of Georgia s sternest, and most uncompr. mising patriot, as to believe that he would even listen to it, in silence ? Regulate your answer then Troup men, to this bargaining alliance, by what His would be. So much for the morality, purity, and patriotism of the proposition. Now fur its policy. W e strongly suspect that the Federal Union is i» possession of some more accurate information than ourselves as to Lumpkin’s success. They must certainly he well-informed of the fact, that the voice of the people of Georgia will consign to a merited oblivion both Lumpkin and his hope ful ally Ratification. Ifthey are positively cer tain that “ Lumpkin will succeed over Major Crawford, by a majority much larger than that by which lie triumphed over Gov. Gilmer,” as they say in the same page which contains their politic proposition; if they are certain of this,why the ne cessity ofbeating up for recruitsin this proclama tion tashion? Ifthey are certain of such a ma jority, why do they want more votes ? The scheme is easily seen through. The Troup men are not to be gulled with their eyes open. — The cause of Lumpkin and Ratification is travel ling rapidly down hill, and therefore his patriotic supporters are kneeling at the feet of the opposite party, to beg our forbearance. When Major Crawford is elected and the honor and dignity of the State retrieved, wlier. the tarnish on her fair fame is wiped away, by the political expiation of those who were instrumental in bringing the disgrace upon her, then it w ill be time to ask for inerey. The Federal Union intimates that the present contest for Governor is “no more than a real battle between the sacred principles of Union, and the antagonist principles of Disunion.” The less the Federal Union, the Ilatifiers, and Gov ernor Lumpkin say about Disunion, the better for them. >ve have seen the efforts of the /disunion party in Georgia to blind the people, and carry on their iniquitous designs under the specious cover of veneration for the Union. We have smiled at their impotent malice in charging the Nullifiers, with a design to dismember the States, and rear another government on their ruins,— They have ransacked the kennels of Billingsgate for epithets to lavish on patriots, who boldly ad vocate the Rights of a State, and we scorn alike the empty bravado, and wheedling promises of the oppressor. This denunciation we have met in the manner it should be met, with silence and contempt. But when the organ of the Federal party in this State, gravely insinuates that the Nullifiers are the advocates of Disunion—our uieriment cannot be disguised. We would fain meet a charge of such magnitude, with some seeming respect, for the sincerity of those who utter it. We believe the Editors of that print, to be men o‘ intelligence, and it is impossible for tbem to be ignorant, of the utter want of stability belonging to the fabrication.—The story is not even a plausible one! Ilut since they have made the issue, let us see which side of the ques tion they and their Magnus Apollo, Wilson Lumpkin, have arrayed themselves. Without pausing to comment on the ingenious theories invented by one of the leaders of the party, which claim the Governor as their chief, that Congress lias the right to sell a State, or the equally sound and Republican notion promulgated by one of the Editors of the Federal Union, that Stale lines are of no consequence in laying off districts for members to Congress! Without at tempting to overturn the plausible assei „ f another of its Editors, that the opposition of a state to unconstitutional taxation, was like the resistance of a county in a state, to the exercise of its laws—or endeavoring to reason him into the belief, that sovereign states do not stand upon the footing of counties ; We will proceed at once to the poiat at issue. Gov. Lumpkin’s opinions we take to be good authority with the Federal Union, and we recommend the following extract from his Excellency’s Message to their atten tion. “ Upon a full view of the whole subject I would most dceidedlv recommend that our for bearance and moderation be made manifest to the whole Union, before we enter on any doubtful or violent remedy, calculated to jeopardise the ex istence of the Federal Union itself.” The Eng lish of which is, let us show to the whole Union that we have forborne with the American System long enough and if the Tariff majority in Con gress, are not willing to do us justice, why, we will jeopardize the Federal Union itself, in the at tempt to do ourselves justice. Now the doctrines of the Nullifiers are precisely and directly in con flict with this notable recommendation. If our taskmasters w ill not afford us relief, we will re lieve ourselves—and we will do it without jeop* ardising the. Union. South Carolina, has al ready, procured for the whole south a great, im mediate relief; and is die Union in danger? Are we dismembered —disunited, tempest tossed, on the stormy wave of political commotion? Are we plunged into civil war ? Are weapons of hostile brethren aimed at each others life? No. Yet all this was predicted. The prophecies were falsifi ed because South Carolina resisted in a constitu tional manner the arbitrary and unjust decrees of an irresponsible majority. Bnt Gov. Lumpkin is not only willing to resist unconstitutional laws !—hut any law whatever constitutional or not as the case may be —and we have his own word to that effect. On Friday the 30th day of November 1832, (we like to he precise in dates) the Governor told the Legislature that he renewed to them his “ unshuken determination to disregard all unconstitutional requisitions lawsj apper taining to Ihe cases under consideration, or or any other character or origin whatever, which may be calculated to overturn the unqucstionul (we quote verbatim) rights and jurisdiction of the State. Now we conceive that to be a very pretty specimen of the precious doctrine of Disunion— which these sublimated Unionists advocate so loudly. The Nullifiers wish to resist unconsti tutional acts in a constitutional manner, but Gov ernor Lumpkin cares not whether the. acts be con stitutional or not, he’ll jeopardise the Union. — The only argument we know, that can be advan ced in his favor, is contained in his recommenda tion “to make our forbearance known to the whole l'nion.” We need not fear any danger front Lumpkin and his parly if that is to be the time, when the Uaien is to b« jeopardised. I'tcAusr Gov. Lumpkin will never he persuaded that the whole Union is informed of the circumstance, and ifthey are informed of it and he believes it, they will doubtless like the Missionaries, throw themselves on the magnanimity of the State and receive his Excellency’s most gracious pardon and forgiveness. The last Georgia Messenger contains the pro ceedings ola late meeting f the hu'e Right’.- j Free Trade associ_;i. , ' Bibb rezi Am- I other Resolutions it was On motion of hi. T. Bailv, Resolved, That tlm Corresponding Secre | tarv he required to obtain copies of the Alien j and Sedition Laws, the Virginia and Ken tucky Resolutions of 1798 and ’O9, touching said Acts; also, the Act of Virginia nullify ing said Acts, so far as the members of her Legislature were concerned; also, the Ad dress of the Virginia Legislature to the peo ple of that .State, on publishing their Resolu tions; also the Reply of the said Legislators to the other States in support of those Reso lutions, commonly called Mr. Madison’s Re port; also, a Review and Commentary, pub lished tile past summer in the Richmond >Vhig, on those Resolutions, in a series of numbers addressed to Mr. Ritchie ; also, Mr. Calhoun’s exposition of State Rights and State Remedies, contained in his letter to tin Pendleton Messenger, and the one addressed the year after to Governor Hamilton; also, his two Speeches in the Debate with Mr. Webster, in the Senate last Congress, on the same subject; also, all the Messages, both special and general, of Gov. Troup to the Legislature, during his administration, to gether wit> his letter to the Columbia Din ner, and report the same to this Association at their next meeting. The above documents are valuable Stato pa pers, and should he placed before the people fur their information. The Act of Nullification by the Virginia Legislature has been lately publish ed in the Richmond Jeffersonian, and we should think would effectually silence the objections of some Editors “to the new and dangerous heresy of Nullification.” A practice that obtained so early as 1800 can scarcely he styled a “ new one ” except by the kindred of the Welchman, in the middle ol whose genealogical list was a note to this effect “ about this time was the world created*.'* Tile Bargain Confirmed! The last dpsperale effort of the Uis-U nion Par ty is about being made. We have already no ticed the proposition of the Federal organ to pur chase the support of the few Troup men in the State, who had become reereant to the cause of State Rights. We have expressed our conviction that a proposition so revolting to every honest patriot, would be contemptuously rejected 'There are some however, (we perceive by the Constitutionalist) either, venal enough to bargain with their ancient enemies, for their own future political existence, or deluded enough, not to perceive the subtle policy of their new found allies. A writer in the columns of that print, proposes that the 'Troup Union men should “ ad opt the broad conservative principle, that the friends of the Union are our friends and its ene mies our enemies” and the Constitutionalist coin cides with the views of the writer! However palrioticthe sentiment may sound,it is intended to furnish a pretext foi desertion from the Troup ranks. Now when the battle is almost won, when the ranks of the enemy are broken and wavering, now the cry is raised, let us come out from those for whom we have hitherto fought, let us go over to our adversaries and unite our strength w ith theirs. It is to be hoped that pity for their tottering condition has induced this de sertion. ir so we can pardon the treachery.!.. We ourselves have felt the gentle knock of pity at our hearts, and were almost ready to bid her ‘enter. 1 es, when we have looked at ihe progress of the contest, and see.. Federalists, consoli dationist, proclamatiouists, and Ratiiiers, imnm down before the,irresistible force of trutii. Even when the arm wa3 raised, their utter desolation and distress have touched us with compassion, we iiave paused upon the blow, and turned away more in “sorrow than in anger.” Compassionate as we are however, we cannot permit our tenderness to carry us so far, as into the ranks of our opponents. Rut let that pass, the Constitutionalt -t </ , . e, n . their account in thus joining the r„-i the Clark party, and we hope they may. Our regret at their backsliding is excited only for their own sake. If with this accession of strength (which, by the by is very slight,) the Clark party are still unable to conquer. If notwithstanding this ,reacliery in our own ranks, victory will still perch upon our helms, how utterly lost and despe rate will be the condition of these timorous sece ders. Remember the fate of the Saxon Spy who asked an elevated station as the reward of his perfidy, and was elevated to the gallows ! How ever much the leaders of the Clark party may applaud the .treachery, we are disposed to believe they entertain no very cordial friendship for the traitors. They will be looked upon with a Sts* picious eye, and their new allies will dread a repetition of the treason whenever an opportunity offers.
