The first class is compet ed if those v. bo believetbai ti.e whole power ot indlificition is lodged with the in; nine loud of the United Stairs, and that the decision of Jo in Marshall, Gabriel Duval, Jest; li Morv, \\ il limn Johnson, Sunt!i Tlioiupso.i, Henry Bald win, and John McLean, or any four of tirem, is sufficient to render mill and void an act ol Congress which shall have received the sanc tion of the Senate consisting of 48 ineml.i r.-, of the House of Representatives consisting of 240 members, and of the President, act ing, perilous, under the advice of his cabinet. Tile second class unbraces those who be lieve, that the Supreme Court possesses the power of nullification in casts cl.wrlr w ithin its jurisdiction. They, however, believe with Chief Justice Murshall, as expressed by him in 17E>0, in his speech in Congress in tin case of Jonathan F. tibins, that “ by cxt< ad ing the judicial power to all cases in law and equity, the Constitution had never hern un derstood to confer on the departin' nt any po litical power w hatever. To conic within this description, a question must ssurue a legal form for forensic litigation and judicial deci sion. There must he parlies to come into court wlio can be re..died by its process, am! hound by its power; whose rights admit ol ultiniatedecision by a tribunal to which they are bound to submit.’' in cases, therefore, involving disputed powers between the blnte and Federal Governments, they held, with Mr. Jefferson, that in all “ cases ol compact among parties having no common judge, cuch parly has an equal right to judge fur itselj\ as well of infractions, as of the mode and measure of redress and they consequent ly believe, w ith the \ irginia Resolutions el ’tlß, “that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise Os other powers not granted by. the said compile:, the States who are parlies thereto, have the rigid, and are in duty bound, to interpose lor arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits the authorities, rights, and liberties appertaining to them.” This tight of State interposition, whether it be called htate veto, btate check, Nullifica tion, or any other name implying that the nullified act shall not bo put into execution within the limits of the (Mate, the second class we arc describing, maintain can he law fully exercised by a Slate L< gisifllurc, a • held by Pennsylvania in 18'Jt), and by Geor gia in several of her recent acts. But in this thev diti’cr from The third class, who, whilst they agree with the second class in all the othi r posi tions assumed by them, assort, that the plop, r mode of interposition is by the people of a State in Convention assembled, chosen spa cificaily for the purpose, and not by a Stale Legislature. They maintain, that tins rigid of interposition would never be exercised but for very sufficient cause ; that it is no easy matter to arouse a m.ij >rili of the people of a whole Slate to the extent of interposing their sovereign power; and that tu <vil to the institutions of lfiu country can he appic* iiciided, Mulcts Congress shijll lor years resist all appeals made to their s use of justice and to their love of harmony, and persevere n a course deemed by that majority to be “ de liberate, palpable, am! dangerous'’ violations of the federal compact. VVe know there are many persons who are horror-stricken at the enormity of the Geor gia and South Carolina Nullification, and yet there are cases ti.al might be presented in which they would themselves, peril ips be com# iiuliitiers. Suppose, for instance, Con gress, under tile power to lay excises, widen, although required to be uniform thiouglioui the United tilati s, may be laid upon any com modity, should impose one of live dollars a ton upon all anthniciie. coal dug fiem tie piis : this article noing found in ;:o parted' tile country but Ponnsiivanii, the txc.s would fall almost wholly upon that Slate, Ihu principal part being consumed wdhm tier limits; ami as the law would In constitution al, the Supreme Court wool tihvo to pio nounce it to be so. Would not the citizens of Philadelphia, however, ant! others who an warmed by anthracite coal, if tin y were sat. isiied that the object of dm act was not to t use a revenue, as expressed in iis title, but solely to prev id. anthracite coal from com ing into competition m the maiki t w ith Vir ginia bituminous coal ; would they not be nulliflers too? Or suppose Congress were to Jay a lev upon all tolls collect J upon ca nals that are three bundled mii s lung and upwards ; would not the .New Yorkers be come r.uil fiers if they were convinced that the sole object of the law was to drive the commerce of the Lilies from the city u! New York to Philadelphia ?

But there are o her indications of a sudden dissolu tion in the immediate precincts of the '■place, which will soon be more ful y de veloped. The purpose of the dissolution of the first cabinet was to unite the in fluence of the Executive Government in support of tiie Executive favorite—but high minded and honorable men soon be came restive under th« show of authority oxsrciscd by others. Tho same corrupt intluencc which dissolved the first cabinet remains to disturb the second, ami the consequence is that their unity was long since dissolved.

They were also told that the West and the South were natural allies, and ’.hit any attempt on the part of the President to -appoint Mr. Van Burcn his successor to the ex clusion of Col. Johnson, would bo resist ed. They were told 00, that between Col. Johnson and Mr. Barry, there hrrtl been a long and intimate personal friendship, and warned, that when the time came for the Post Master Genera! to choose between Col. Johnson and Mr. Van Burcn, he would adhere to his old friend and his old principles. And they were further ad moni'hcd, that tlie people once forbade the executive nomination of a successor, and that the West would do so again. The consequence of these expostulations was Ihe limping apology of the Globe for tiie P. (). Department, and a few complimen tary notices of Col. Johnson. Do you ask if Johnson intends to be a candidate ? He docs—lsis friends and family are rich —they havfc great fatnilo pride—they have always been democratic—l le lias al ways been their darling.and they have re solved that ho shall be ac; n ii. ae.

The principles ret forth iti these proceedings, can. not fail to command and tkc immediate as sent of every vitary of Liberty and Consti tutional Lnion. It will be perceived, that these principles are drawn from a pure foun tain : —they are the principles ot tiie great Apostle of Liberty, Thomas JellV icon, which were put forth m ’9B and ’99 and prostrated the Federalist in 1801—Tin y are destined again to triumph over the minions of Despo tism and tlie parasites of power. Political degeneracy political mendacity, and the corrupting it duci.ee of office, may do much to obstruct for a season, the advance of these < principles, but their in irch is onward ! —their triumph ccrtaiif! ! —Yet a watchful vigilance is cssi ntial, to this glorious consummation —a vigilance that never slumbers: for wo arc opposed by udversurit s, who piote.es the cun ning of the Serpent; who have sung the syren song of Limn, yet would scatter its fragments to the winds of heaven, to obtain or preserve office. Already have they prov ed recreant to southern rights; already have they crouched at the footstool of power, aye, taught their children the humiliating lesson of Submission to oppression, pointing tin ir deluded followers to State interposition, a gainst unconstitutional encroaciunohis, as to -i l’cacr.ri light, to mark the course to he shunned, in futute cases of similar oppres sion.
