THE TARIFF—NULLIFICATION,
THE COMPROMISE
The time has now come, when we may speak
of the Tariff, of Nullification and the Compro
mise, not as subjects of momentary excitement,
but as matters of history. When we may view
j them calmly, and calculate their effects upon
j the people, their institutions and interests, with
absolute and unerring certaintv.
It is well known to every citiz.m who has
I marked the progress of political events for five
or six years past, that the doctrine of millifica
! tion had its origin in the reckless and unchas
i tuned ambition of a single individual, and one
| too, who had done inorc to introduce and fasten
| upon the country, an onerous and unconstitu
tional system of taxation, than any man in the
United States.
The efforts ofMr. Calhoun in 181 G, to esta
blish, as the policy of the government, a system
j of high protecting duties, are well known to the
• American people, and the success of his mca
; sures nt that time, laid tho foundation of all the
evils which have since flowed from that system;
and we hazard nothing when we aisert, that if
his premature movements in relation to the pre
sidency, had been realized, his views of the ta
i iff world have remained unchanged, and the
sound of nullification would have never been
heard. But lie hailed too soon—the public
1 mind was pre-occupied with othei names, and
he was doomed to that disappointment which
i in the effervesence of his untamable passions,
I has arrayed him against the government, and
the Union.
For some time after Gen. Jackson’s first elec
tion, Mr. Calhoun's prospects of succeeding him
fto tilts Presidency, were very flattering, and un
-1 til the dt.-alnsure,- by M-, Crawford, in
THE STANbA II 1) 0F UNION
• regard to the course pursued by Mr. Calhoun as
! a member of Mr. -Monroe’s cabinet upon the
subject of the Seminole war, he was every day
gaining upon the co.nfidence of the people; but
■is soon as these facts were made known, and
he was called on by General Jackson for an ex
planation, than “ Ae crie l havoc, an I slip the
(lot>s of war ; and from that hour, he arrayed
himself against the administration—renounced
tile principles which he had open! v professed,and
denounced the very acts which he had done. But
thepopul irityof the administration was so dee|>
ly rooted, audits measures so universally appro
bated by the people,that there remained to him no
hope of success, in open, honest, manly war
fare, and hij last hope rested upon some
great and extraordinary excitement.
About that time, t.ue injustice and oppression
oftlie tariff, which had grown up under die pro- I
feeling arm of Mr. Calhoun, became so mani-I
fest to the people of the south, th -tone general !
murmur pervaded ail ranks of society. Public!
meetings were held, and resolutions adopted in
all quarters, demanding of Congress, in firm and
temperate language, the repeal of a system
which was bringing down ruin upon the
southern people, Mr. Calhoun availing himself
of the state of southern feeling upon this sub-1
ject, threw a somerset over his former princi- '
pies, denounced the tariffas a mast flagrant out- j
rage upon the rights of th people, and raised
the banner of nullification as “the rightful rem
edy”—the great political panacea which was
to correct the errors of the government, and re
store the people to the enjoyment of their vio
lated rights. South Carolina was made the thea
tre oftlte fa’st greatdtama.and accordingly mee
tings were called—dinners were prepared—har
angues were delivered—and in a few months the
State was on the verge of a mighty explosion.
A convention was held, an ordinance was pass
ed, and plans and arrangements organized for
the new and untried experiment. Areduction
of the tariff, to a fair revenue standard was made
the “sine qnanon”of their proceedings, and the
first day of February 1833 was the made limit.
On that day, according to the ordinance of her
convention, South Carolina had resolved to go
out of the union, unless such reduction should
before that time be made in tho tariff duties.
But before the day arrived, Mr. Calhoun, as if
startled at the impending consequences of his
own ill advised motwur js, proposed to Mr. Clay
the then head oftlie protective system, a com
promise, and accordingly, the present compro
mise tariff was adopted, and the ordinance sus
pended. The compromise was hailed ’as a j
gaeat triumph, particularly by the nullifiers of!
South Carolina, and many an honest citizen!
whose mind had been inflamed by the orators j
of the day, took it for granted that the year of
Jubilee had come, and that the necessaries, the !
aomforts and luxuries of life, were to be laid j
down at his doer, fora song. They became
instantly reconciled to the system, and with thz
appendagj of compromise to the tariff, have
quietly borne its burdens from that day to this,
notwithstanding they have been all the time
paying as high and higher prices for arti
cles of consumption as they had done before.
And such are the effects of nullification upon
the tariff; and it is lamentable to know, that at
the very moment of this compromise, the public
mind was undergoing a rapid, salutary change
upon the subject, and but fur the injudicious
compromise of Mr. Calhoun, tho whole system
would have Jieen overturned at the ensuing ses
sion. Snch a result was inevitable, and we have
the words of Mr. Clay to prove it.
But no argument is wanting, to prove the
pernicious effects of the compromise tariff upon
the institutiuns-of the country, or of its ui-pust
and burdensome character upon the .people.
Under its operation, within a few short vears,
between thirty and forty millions of dollars have
been dragged from the pockets of the pmefle,
over and above tho writs of the government,
! which is now about to bo returned to the States,
■as a sort of expiation for the injustice of’.is col
lection.
> XX’assnch a course of measures cvercontem-
• plated by the great and good men who laid the
foundation of our republican institutions? No!
it never was intendedlhat the general govern
ment should raise revenue for the States nor
to draw one surplus dollar from the pockets of
the people. The establishment of such a prin
ciple would overset the whole machinery of our
political institutions; destroy the sovereignty
and independence of the State, and ultimately
merge the whole, in one consolidated empire;
anti yet, the first step towards a consumation
so full of evil to our country and so repugnant
to tbc spirit of liberty, haslicep. made by John
C. Calhoun of South Carolina.
It is time for the people to look danger in the
face—fo express their fixed and unalterable
hostility to a measure, which cajoled them at
first, and cheats them at last.—To demand with
one Voice, the repeal of taxes which are not re
quired by the General Government, but which
are accumulated merely forthe purpose of sub
sidizing the State governments, and of breaking
down and destroying their political influence.
The thirty or forty millions of surplus reve
nue now in the coffers of the nation belong to
the people and slamld have remained in their
pockets. It is so much withdrawn from its
rightful owners, which can never reach their
tiockets again; and they are required on by
any principle of justice, to call for spied v and
efficient reformation.
If they acquiesce, their burdens will increase.
—lt will become a settled principle, and taxa
tion in every form will be resorted to, to swell
the distributions to the States. Thetariff will
be increasad, and those who a little while ago,
were ready to dissolve the government to throw
it off, *”111 become its warmest advocates.
But the people will speak in language that
cannot be misunderstood.
The subject under consideration, affoids the
most striking illustration of the views and prin
ciples of Mr. Calhoun, and prove him beyond
doubt, to be one of the most dangerous states
men our country has produced. He first sup
ported the tariff, and its friends are largely in
debted to him for its success. He 11(!Xt opposed
it with so much violence, as to threaten the safe
ty of the Uttion—gpfl Justly hg compromised
upon a basis which has continued its burdens'
at the expense of the people, and stripped them
of thirty or forty millions of dollars. Who can
follow such a man and feel safe? Who can be
lieve in nullification and take him for a model.
In conclusion, we put it to the sober sense of
every citizen, what has been gained by nullifica
tion? The answer is plain. XX’o have gained
nothing, ami lost much. Instead of repealing
the tai iff, it has been fastened upon us for years,
and perhaps forever, when a course of firm and
temperate measures would long since have re
duced it to a proper standard; and that is the !
result of a compromise produced by nullifica-I
tion; a compromise which has taken from the
people, more than thirty millions of dollars,
and for which, they have no adequate redress.
Will any man pretend that goods are cheap
er than they wore four years ago? We think
not. Northern fabrics are much higher.—-Su
gar, Iron, Steel, Hats, Shoes, Blankets &c. &,c. j
maintain their former prices; bread and meat I
are constantly’ advancing, and so far as we are
able to judge, times are getting worse with
purchasers.
If goods are as high now as they were in
1831—-2 and nullification is the only ofjicient >
remedy, it is time another dose was administered.
XX r e may be asked, why it is, that we are
still ringing the charges upon nullification? XVe
answer, because we believe it proper to direct
the public mind to its progress and final results
upon the affairs of the country, and to shew the
people from its own history, its unfortunate and
pernicious tendency.
It is proper too, that the measures of Gener
al Jackson’s administration should be held up
in comparison with the principles and meas
ures of those who have been his bitterest oppo
nents. His public life is hastes'ng to its close.
Passing from the bustle and termoil of political
contest, his name and his deeds will soon belong
to history; and then it will be that bis country
men, looking with calmness and composure
upon his public life, will do jusficb to his mem
ory; and, in contrasting his services and his
principles with those of the Calhouns and Mob
sters, and Clays, and the host who have follow
ed their train, will pass a unanimous verdict in
favor of “THE MAN, XX'IIO HAS FILL ED
THE MEASURE OF HIS COUNTRY’S
GLORY.”
THE SURPLUS REVENUE.
XVe expressed in our last, our-decided appro
bation of the course pursued by the Legislature,
in regard to the disposition of the Surplus Rev
enue.
Upon this subject, we have entertained but
one opinion from the time the act of Congress
was p issed to deposit this fund in tho State !
Treasuries. We said then, and repeat it now, j
that the best disposition which Georgia could !
make of the amount coming into her Treasury, (
would be to place it in the Central Bank, and!
by that institution be loaned out at a moderate i
rate of interest to bur citizen*. She has taken !
that course, a a.l nodoabt remains upon ottrmind, j
but that it will bo very generally approved bv i
the people.
By what other mode, coal .1 tho people-gener- j
ally, hiva derived any use or benefit of this !
enormous amount of money? In none, that we
can imagine. It could nut bo rightfully applied
h) the purposes of Internal Improvement, be
cause it does not belong to the State, and if re
ceived at all, it must be taken in strict accord
ance with tho act of Congress. That act, it is
well known, m ikes the State Treas tries the
mere depositories of the fund, and expressly re
quire! it to be returned to tho General Govern
ment, whenever it shall be demanded ; and tho
act authorizing its reception, fully recognizes
that principle. In that view of tho question,
the Legislature could not, and did not pretend
to claim it as a portion of her own capital, nor
to invest it in any of her contemplated public
works. She might have left it in tho Treasury,
it is true, to slumber and sleep for an agb, but
such an act, would have been so decide llv at
variance with the clearest principles of political
economy, that it requires no argument to prove
its absurdity. It would at once be locking up
•o much of the circulating medium of the coun
try, and diminishing in a corresponding ratio,
the profits of diose who Use money.
XVhnt next ? It might havb been loaned to the
other banks—and for whose benefit? Why, for
the benefit of the stockholders of those institu
tions, thereby giving them, a still more uncon
trolable influence over the monetary affairs of the
country than they already enjoy—-and strength
ening and extendingtho spirit of speculation, and
concentrating ‘its power and its profits in the
hands of a few.
Some have suggested the policy of loaning it
to Rail Road Companies, to enable them to
prosecute their various undertakings wi h great
er promptitude and more certain success; but
insuperable objections present themselves to this
mode. It the money is to be loaned at all, one
citizen has as much right to claim the use of a j
portion of it as another, an 1 the poor man who
can secure the payment of three or five hundred
dollars, is as in i di entitled to it, as the wealthy
capitalist who chooses to invest, his funds in rail
road or bank stock. The money camo from all
the people, and it should be so managed as to en
able the largest number to enjoy its benefits,
and there is no existing plan, nor has there been
one suggested within our knowledge, so well cal
culated to accomplish this great principle ot jus
tice and equity, as that afforded through the
agency of ths Central Bank.
It is true, that nv.ich has been said of its cor
ruption, as well as tho dangerous influence upon ,
the minds&. actions of inin, but we have sought I
in vain for the evidence. Session after session
have its a airs been scrutinized bv the Legisla
ture, during the ascendancy of different parties,
an I yet it stan is firm in the p iblic cotifi lencc.
At tho Lite section, we are inform? 1, its affairs
were examined m ist scrupulously. Neither
time nor labor were spired, to search out and
bring to light all tint was calculate 1 to ex’nbit
the Bank in its real attitude, andjwhat wa s fbc
result? Tho proceedings of the Legislature will
answer the question.
After the lato investigition, wo did hope the
subject wis at rest, an.l that tho Bank would
| move on in its ordinary channel.
We !i tjttvar corvudqfej (he R.mk, a polit-
ical machine—-,ve did not so consider it at the
timo its charter was passed and the idea of con
necting the Executive oftlie State, with that in-,
stitntion, is to us. wholly incomprehensible.
XX hat has the Governor to do With the Bank?
Heappoints its Directors, takes their bonds and
qualifies them in terms of the law, and wlien (
that is done their responsibilities are at hn t*nd ’
"itii that branch of tliri G.-ivm-iiment. The?
then stand amenable to the Legishu re.—They
report to the Legislator.-—-the Bank is examhi
ed by t _• Legislature, and that is the only prop
ci trionnal to pass sentence upon their acts. '
But it the Governor is in league with the Bank,
to subvert tbc public morals, and to effect a
deleterious influence over the public mind—if
he has made it an instrument to wrong the hum
blest citizen, of the fullest and freest exercise of
his personal or political rights, let the proof
come forth and wew.ll abandon him. $ j far as
we know or believe, he lias po connexion with
the Bank, further than the law has imposed du

ADDB.ESS
OF THE CARniERS OF THE
of UmioK,
Another year, with varying scenes, has shed
Its lights and shadows round the patriots head.
War, war with France the gathering clouds
portend,
Those clouds have passed, and France is still
our friend—
The savage foeman raised his dismal yell,
While many a freemau by Ins rifle fell.
But Georgia’s sons, with hearts of steel, were
there
To hunt the savage foeman in his lair—
Nor scorching smi/uor quaggy swamp impedes
The nbble daring of his lofty deeds,
Till broken—vanquished--he was forced to roam.
And seek the western prairies for a home.—
The savage Spaniard too has bared the knife
For deeds of blood, and worse than murderous
strife.
Ilis heart of stone ungenerous pulse can feel—
The captive falls beweatii bis reckless steel !
But vengeance waits thee, Mouster! Fanning’s
blood
Shall ope tho sluice for many a crimson flood.
Norslambcrs justice—Righteous Heaven has
sped
Its bolt of vengeance on tliy guilty head !
Ln ! o i Jacinto’s plain thy legions lie .
Gold, stiff in death—and thou compelled to fly.
Thou fly'st in vain—“ thy sins have found thee
out”-
Vengeance pursues thee in thy coward route!
A prisouerdoomed, withjust constraint, to bear
'Die chains es slavery—meet for such to wear !
Where art thou now ? Compelled to beg release,
And parcllise p trdoiiby inglorious peace !
Proud Santa Alina bends tlie captive knee
And Texas’ sons and Texiau soil are free! •
And civic wars, with paper balls, h ive raged.
Which freedom’s sous with freedom’s sous have
i waged.
j The batik—the bank—the mon.tbY br.uk that
i vied
To putdowh ’Jackson— -that old lltnk has died.
’ Ah, myoid Hero! ’Twas a glorious hit,
I -Fof, many a son of panic died with it.
Webster, and Harrison, and old Judge Wifftfe
I Have lain their cudgels by, and quit the fight --
1 While “ calm ns patience on a monument,"'
j The little Dutchman waits that greateveut,
| Which strews the patriot’s path with more re
nown,
Than subject legions an I a glittering cruwii.
And what his Georgia done ’—-the ques
tion’s toush---
Killed the 6’g Court —and sotii? were glad
enough.
But let that pass, and let the steam car come,
With flying banners and the sound of drum,
Till towering mount tins meet the soa -girt share,
And western precincts join with Ocean’s store.
Hail, mighty' project! Lend my muse a wing.
Thats’ie with lofty strains thy praise indy sing.
On wings of Jteam my rapid thoughts would fly.
And mingle eastern with the western sky.
Hail to thee. Brunswick! Like a rising star,
1 sec thy glory beaming (.right and, far.
On the broid bosom of ihy noble stream !
►greet tliy s-. ellihg shil and potent steam !
I I see thy crowded streets, and hear tlie bn.n
Ofjoy and business—f ir thy day is come !
Wake, old Savannah! Rub off a’ktliy rust.
Shake from thy mantle folds the gathering lltiSt.
Thy year of Jubilee at length shall come.
An ! Georgia’s cotton shall be sold at home.
We’ll see the day when friends from 'Tennessee
Shall c imo to Georgia for their dish of tea,
Sheep-head un i oysters, and, returning back.
Sup with their friends next day at Nickajack !
Smile not. my friend—-The thing is just as easy,
As joining Ocean’s waters with Lake Erie.
Bright on historic page shall stand each name
That dared to rival Clinton’s Deathless fame!:
Hail to tho Chief, renowned in modern storv, <
“ Who fills the measure of his Country’s glory!" 1
Hail. Andrew Jacksoil'! History’s brightes t page
Shall paint thee, Hero, Patriot an I Sage !
In days to come, when Froe lorn’s fl rg shaft float.
And freemen rally to the clarion's note—
When hostile fleets shall ploagl, thesouuding
main,
And freemen hurry tn the embattl 'd plain
Then shall thv glorions spirit hover nigh
“ Orbans If hlnrse-ShOe.” shm shall be the c -, y,
While g itb’iring ardor from thy deathless name.
Leaders and host shall burn to share thy fame.
But, n >t the embattled plain, tho martial Vino,
Alone, tlwir garland round thy jemples twin?.
When van jiii'ib'i I l ies, retiring f’otn ths fight.
Ha 3 sure id their-sails disgraced, in homeward
flight—
When Inlcyon peace, o'er mountain, fid I and
tide,
I Had waved her downy pinions far and wide- -
I When ckydiiug arms, and thundering caum J 11;
roar
Mere hushc i to silence on Columbia's th are.
And thousand voices hailed thee, Hero! Sage!
I he gio rious lemimt of the Hermitage-
Though age had shed Iter stutvs around tlfy
brow,
Like Cincinnstiis, thou must Icpvo l.nolplough.
'Div country calls thee to the Car <r of State,
Great in her battles, in her c< v jcils great!
In vain ambition reared her sr aky crest,
And rank corruption stalked. |ikJ virtue (Ire;.
