I POLITICAL. 1 Evlrart from Gor.llnfiieN JlrA«su-e, To the Senate and House of Repr's. i Ff.t.lovv Citizens : It has pleased the Almighty Disposer of i events, to permit us to assemble once ] more, in the enjoyment of the blessings of j peace. Bat a few months have passed a ' way, since our separation under circum stances, calculated to inspire the most anxious solicitude, for the destinies of out beloved country. .South Carolina, after years of unavailing petitions, remonstran ces, and protests against the usurpations of the Federal Government, had in her highest sovereign capacity, solemnly pro nounced the acts of Congress, imposing duties and imposts for the protection of domestic manufactures, to be “unauthor ized by the Constitution, null, void, and no j Saw,” and itad taken measures ofher own. ! to prevent their enforcement within her ' limits. The exercise of this unquestiona- 1 hie right of Sovereignty, under a system of confederated States was met by the ; Federal Executive, in a spirit entirely at war with tiie genius of the Constitution,! and utterly subversive of our free ins tit u-; tions. Denying to one of the high con- ] trading parties to the Constitutional com pact, the right “to judge of its infractions, or of the mode and measure of redress”— the President had no hesitation in asser ting for himself, the right to determine au thoritatively the true character of the oh-! j noxious acts, and felt no scruples in pass j ing sentence of condemnation, against the j constituted authorities and people of a ! Sovereign State, avowing at the same time, his determination to reduce them to submission, by military force. Preten -1 sions such as these, addressed to a high minded and gallant peopie, in whose veins flowed tiie blood of the Patriots and He- j roes of the Revolution, could only be met j in a spirit of proud defiance, —a spirit well embodied in the noble sentiment that “it would he better that our country should i become the cemetery of Freemen, than 1 the habitation of Slaves.” It would be a{ proud page in the history of our common; country, which shall record the unfalter-j ing determination, and unshaken firmness,! with which the Legislature and people of; South Carolina met tiie crisis presented ■ by the Proclamation of the President, which it was vainly imagined,would have “humbled them in dust and ashes.” Stan ding alone in the great contest lor Consti j tutional Liberty—unhappily divided at j home, and cheered by no friendly voice * from abroad, —denounced as Traitors, and threatened with military vengeance by the Chief Magistrate of the Union, it was confidently anticipated that our peo ple would shrink in dismay fiom the un equal conflict, l’ut thanks be to God ! j South Carolina did not falter in her [course, nor swerve from the path of duty. Hie spirit or iiiu pcnpK. mac with the e- I mergenev, and we were enabled to ex hibit the animating spectacle, of a small ! State standing up tor her rights unaided and alone ; resolved to maintain them, or perish in the conflict. Though the remedy adopted by South Carolina, was altogether peaceful in its character—yet no sooner was the ground taken, thatshe was to be driven from her position, and the unconstitutional Tax en forced at the point of the bayonet, then it was, at once, seen and felt tiiat there was no alternative, short of a base surrender of our dearest rights—but to be prepared to defend them, “peaceably, if vve could, forcibly, if we must.”*** 4 ** it is greatly to be lamented, that the act for the reduction of the Tariff, should have been followed by another, comraon i l y called the Force Bill, which, as it was I to have no immediate practical ojieration, ; couid have been designed tbi no other purpose than to embody, in the form oi a law, the odious principles of the Procla mation, with a view that they might be called into action at some future period, more favorable to the establishment of ar bitral)’ rule. Regarding this act, as a i mounting to the assertion of the unqualified i supremacy of the Federal Government o ] ver the States, South Carolina unhesita tingly pronounced it to be “utterly uncou ; stitutional, null and void.” So far as an ! act of Congress can produce that effect, jno doubt can be entertained, tint the Force Bill has abolished the Constitution i annihilated the rights of the States, and ! erected, on their ruins “one great Consoii- I dated Government without limitation of S powers —and untii this act shall be torn from the statute book, these rights will be held bv no other tenure, titan tire will and pleasure of the President. A great crisis is thus brought about in tiie progress of our Government, and the problem must now be speedily solved, whether the in teresting experiment which has been made in this country, of establishing a free Government on the basis of Suite Sovereignty, and popular rights, is to be crowqed with success,or must henceforth be regarded as “a splendid failure ”#»**** Wc have seen the Federal Govern ment extending itsjuiisdiction over crimes j cognizable only by the States,and attempt ■ ing to seduce our citizens from their aile \ giuncc. We have seen the power daim ed and exercised of “laying taxes, duties ! and imposts,” not alone (or the purposes ; s|iccilicd in the Constitution, but for any j purpose whatsoever, which Congress j “mav stiv or imagine to be for the general welfare.” >Ve have seen a gigantic scheme of internal improvements adopted, 1 founded on the most unjnst and unequal 1 principle;- leading to u dis graceful scram ble for the public money, and which j could only he carried into effect, by drain ing the resources ot one quarter of the L r -! nion for the benefit ofanother. We have j seen the power over the purse and the i sword openly usurped by the Executive,! without his deigning to make an appeal to Congress : and we have seen Congress j itself yielding obedience to the slightest j intimation of the Executive will, granting j to him without hesitation extraordinary i powers, and making hitn the absolute dis-! poser of the lives and fortunes of the pco- 1 plo. We have seen a high officer of the j Government deprived of his office, for! having refused to disobey the positive in- j junctions of the law : and we have seen] another officer, distinguished for his gal lantry-, exj>eiled from the service in tiie j face of an acquittal by a military Court. We have seen an officer negatived by tiie Senate, re-appointed and kept in of fice, in open defiance of their authority, and the express provision of the Constitu tion. We have seen the power and pat ronage of the Federal Government brought into hourly conflict with “the freedom of elections”—the freedom of the press—and freedom of opinion. We have seen a hired soldiery, in time of profound peace, ; invading the limits of a Sovereign State] in obedience to a mandate from Washing- j ton, forcing peaceable citizens from their j homes,murdering them with impunity, ] an! then finding protection under the ! guns of a military fortress, setting at de fiance the judicial process of the State,and j held amenable for their conduct, only to the Federal tribunals, to which have ; been given, under the Force Bill, an ab solute control over the Judicial Tribunals jof the State. And, to cap the climax ot Federal usurpation, the power has been j asserted,anti so long exercised as almost to ha vejbecomea“settiodpolicy,”of regulating and controlling the whole labor and cap -1 ital of the country.” Surely, when we I contemplate this picture, we have a right ,to warn our brethren throughout the U- Inion, that their Liberties are in danger, j and to summon them “to the rescue.” We have reason to hope, that this appeal will not be in vain. The eyes of the whole country are beginning to be open ed, and the people are awakening to a sense of impending dangers. Amidst all the vituperation and abuse, to which our State has been subjected, it is gratifying to discover tiiat our princi ples arc steadily advancing. Wherever they have been brought to a fair and full discussion,before the people, their triumph has been decisive, it is the nature of truth, that “it needs only the liberty of appearing” —and there is, happily for the future destiny of our race, an instinct of freedom in the heart of man, which, how ever it may be perverted by education, obscured by prejudice, or debased by in terest, may be kindled up, and seldom rail* to respond to earnest and faithful ap peals in behalf of liberty and justice. E ven now, wc sue mm of those who have most loudly denounced oui dw,,.;.™., bearing reluctant testimony to their truth, in{ being constrained to adopt our princi pies.and to recognize in Slate interposi tion the only bai rier against federal usur pation. A few months ago, it was trea son for a State “toorganize an opposition” to the usurpations of the Federal Govern ment ; now it is acknowledged to be a right incident to her sovereignty. The truth, Felloiv-Gitizcns, is, that there is no middle ground between the acknowledge ment of our principles, and the undis- 1 guised admission that ours is “a Consoli dated Government, without limitation of powers.” The rights, if they can be so called, of petition, remonstrance, protest, and revolution, are incident to all forms of government, and exist precisely to the same extent in a consolidated government, a monarchy* or a despotism, as in the freest government upon earth, and may be just as lawfully exerted hv a slave as a freeman. It is absurd, therefore, to speak of these as constituting the essence of State Rights under our Federal Sys tem. If Slate Sovereignty lias not been totally and entirely surrendered, the sev eral States arc in duty bound to preserve those rights from invasion ; and whatever may be the appropriate remedy, and by whatever name it may be called, if it op erates by virtue of Slate Sovereignty, to the effectual protection of State Rights, this constitutes, what Air. Jefferson lias well called the. “rightful remedy of nullifi cation.” Every State in this Union, when she feels that her rights arc invaded by a gross, deliberate, and palpable usurpation on the part of the Federal Government, in a matter of sufficient importance to re quire her interposition, will he driven to tliis remedy.—Cal. Ttl. Extra. Gov. C linton and Hr. Van Huron. We published some days since, an ex tract from the New-York Evening Star, in which, Air. Noah, in a manner credita ble to his candour, honestly confessed his remorse at the ]>ai t he had taken in en deavouring to put down Gov. Clinton, in order that Air, Van Buren might rise upon Ids ruins. This avowal drew from ; the Argus, in this city, a reply of two I columns, marked by the accustomed vin dictiveness of that print. The Star, in ; rejoinder, says ;—“ The hostility ol Air. i Van Buren to the (.anal has been fre quently the theme of reproach on the part of Ate presses opposed to him. From 1 la* 1H until the death of Air. Clinton, when ever the subject was referred to lor noliti | cal oljrrtf, tjiore pre-re* rherged Mr. V ! B. widi hostility to tlm project and tiie : projector, hut it was never convenient un ; til thp present time to prove by deolara i tion or facts, that Mr. Van Buren was ! the friend and supporter ot the Canal, and ! now when it produces millions to the ! the Stale, when its triumph is complete. | and its author and indefatigable supporter i dead, the Argos publishes Mr. Van Bu ] ren’s speech delivered in April, 1817, to shew, and to shew with truth, that he was 1 at that time the friend of the Canal, and by inference its supporter from its com mencement to its completion. Now, what are the facts in this case ? Mr. Van Bu ron was a Clintonian in 1812. With all the boast of his Democracy, he co-operat ed with the federal party and supported fie Witt Clinton for the Presidency against. James Alndison. “ At this day many will be surprised,! and many will doubt the truth of this declaration—hut Air. Van Huron's support jot Mr. Clinton is beyond doubt. Air.: j Clinton openly separated from the Demo cratio party at that time, but Air. Van ! t Buren continued bis friend because he j ] was in power, and had influence in the ] ! State. In 1817 when he had not separat- j ;ed from his old federal friends, wc find ! Air. Van Buren in the Legislative caucus, moving to make the nomination of Mr. j Clinton unanimous for the office of Gov- 1 ernor. It was at that time, when in full communion with Air. Clinton, tiiat he made the speech in favor of the canal, ] now quoted by the Argus. “ The democrats of this city, friendly to flic war, and unwilling to support Mr. I Clinton for Governor, made a vain at tempt to defeat hitn,and runup the buck , tail flag. We commenced the campaign, and opposed the canal from strong im pressions that it was visionary ati.i im practicable. We continued in 1817, 1818, and part of 1811), to wage this war i against Mr. Clinton and his project. It was at this time, when the current com ■ mcnced setting strongly against Air. C.— when the opposition assumed a formida ble shape, tiiat Mr. Van Buren deserted the friend with whom he had been acting from 1812, and who had appointed him Attorney General of the State. When it was evident that his influence was on the decline, Mr. Van Buren, the friend of the canal, joined the party winch was honest ly,but vainly, attempting to destroy it. “Why this apostacy towards his friend? We opposed Clinton because he hud op posed the war; but Mr. Van Buren was at that time endeavoring to make hitn President. We opposed his canal pro ject because wc believed it to be ruinous. Why did Mr. Van Buren join the party who was endeavoring to destroy the canal if he honestly was iis friend ! Why did he recommend us to take the project out of Air. Clinton’s hands and complete it ourselves when the canal was in success ful progress 1 ami why did he consent to the unjust removal of Mr. Clinton from the Board of Canal Commissioners, oral ; least matte no protest against it, when the great project had been nearly com pleted ? “ The story is soon told. When Air. Clinton was in prosperity, in power, and in influence, Air. Van Bureh was his friend and supporter; when the clouds of adversity overtook him, Air. Van Buren deserted him—and so it has bee, and so it will ever be with him, to the end of the chapter. Fidelity to a friend in adversity forms no part of Air. Van Buren’s politi- j cal character; fidelity, or protection to the ] honest and consistent men of the party j is a mere calculation of personal interest; with him. He will remain no longer with j a party or its supporters than he can man age that party lor his own benefit and! advancement. “ We did not intend at tills time to ex-, amine Mr. Van Buren’s claims to consis tency, as a frieud to the canal and Air.] Clinton; the scrutiny will come up in the, course of time ; and now, or at a future! period, wc stand ready to prove by facts ] whatever may be necessary to allege against his political course. In the hon est admission of error, we regretted our opposition to the canal; lor this the Argus calls us “ profligate.” From the convic tion that in aiding to break down the i>o liticai influence ol Air. Clinton, we have j been instrumental in creating a incrcona- j ry and ruinous faction in this state, we again expressed our regret; for this the Argues calls us an apostate. “Be it so. We prefer an honest ad mission of error to a blind adherence to ] the pride of opinion. If we have done wrong to our country, or any valuable project,by a course of opposition founded; in error, it is our pride and our character] to render justice when time and circum stances prove us to have been mistaken. The strong ground ol opposition to Llin ton was his ambition, and the character of some few partizans who surrounded : him. What have we got by substituting Air. Van Buren as a leader ! The hank ling capital of the whole state, and ll>e ] canal funds, managed to advance his po- I litical fortunes—a band of mercenary ty ! rants at Albany controlling the Legislu ture, the Presses, and the election—and a gang at Washington keeping every ol licc-hohler in thfl Union in chains, to pro mote Ins election to the Presitl* nc\.

Evident indications announce the early : and serious nomination of this gentlemaw : tor the Presidency, and the occurrence of remarkable political “ phenomena” to | which it will give rise. The State Right i Banner is unfurled as the flag under which Ins party will go to battle, and efforts are now making, (how successfully is not : yet manifest) to enlist the Slate of South Carolina in his favor, and to stimulate lier to take a lead in his nomination. How sincere Mr. McLean is in Isis attachment to southern principles—whether the evi dence of his attachment to which we al lude, are of his own origination, or ex hibited bv his friends for electioneering effect at the South—whether, Mr. Van Burcn having preoccupied one road to popularity, and other candidates others; Stale Rights have been seized upon by the adherents of the Judge as presenting the forlorn chance—of all these things, we know nothing. But.this is evident— that in the gi-eat States of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and in all the''North-Western States, Mr. McLean’s popularity is great and growing, and his identifying himself and his party with the friends of State Bights, is of the utmost importance to their principles, and may he productive of high and happy results. It is a misfortune that men in the mass care little for abstract principles. Were it otherwise, they would fie less frequent ly ied captive by man worship, and less often be governed by precepts of mere ex pediency, which sacrifice great ultimate, to present and inconsiderable good. A popular chief may immediately convert his party to opinions which they have re sisted all their lives, or cared too little about to take the trouble of comprehend ing. llis friends will become staunch ad vocates of the rights of the States, 1o amhe Judge McLean Pn siden', who with out that personal and intelligible motive, would have sneered at those doctrines as visionary abstractions, or even aided to strengthen the hands of the Federal Gov ernment. We care not for the motives which govern him and his friends —they may be good or indillcreut—personal or general —selfish or disinterested—hut we rejoice in the prospect of seeing a party, respec table in character and numbers, enlisted in behalf of southern doctrines, in Penn sylvania and Ohio. It must be produc tive of great good. A portion of the Press in that quarter, will then at least, publish, and a portion of the people read, those arguments which are believed in the South, to be irrefutable, and which require only that the people should know and understand them, to make the I‘eople rc i cognize and adopt them, llow stands ! the case now ? In Pennsylvania, the land lof McKean, thirty years ago in front of Virginia herself, in zeal and unanimity, there is not to be found, out of nearly one hundred prints, a single one, save Mr. Raguet’s, which defends the old princi ples of the State. The arguments and views of that side of the question, are absolutely shut out from the people. The cause of State Rights is in reality, the cause of popular liberty—the cause of popular right, against the despotic dis position inherent in all governments— The People could not be against this cause if they understood; it for it is their cause against their natural enemies, [low er and privilege. We find the following extract from a Philadelphia letter in the last Charleston Mercury. « Thrc has been much conversation here on the subject of the nomination of Judge McLean. His leading partisans arc however, too timid, while many ol those who have supported Mr. Clay, say that but for Mr. McLean, Mr. Clay would have been elected, and that therefore if they are comjielled to abandon Mr. Clay, they would much prefer to take a South ern candidate.
