But it U MR so much i;i_ rcicreii 'e to the strange neSi.and inconsistency oF doctrine? such as these coming front Andrew Jack son, as on account of the pernicious ascendancy which the authority of his nasie is calculated to give them, that we deem the document in which t!i y are put forth worthy of the most solemn animadversion. Throughout the North*- frn< .Middle and Western States, the party engaged in the support of Genera! Jackson was heretofore the only-conservatory of republican ••riiieiplcs.— Ti at party having now, according to all the indica tions that have transpires, fallen almost unar.imou:-- ,i ; . into the doctrines of the Proclamation, those re ‘ions may be said to present, at this time, one vast, unvariegated waste of Federalism. Nor is it sur prising that the people of those portions of the Union should have thus readily sanctioned the President’s new creed ; for they form the great interested sec tional niajori y in whose controlling hands the 1 lon era! Government is an obedient machine, dexterously used to work out all their sele ii ends of local ad vantage and aggrandizement. Aud natur.-l enough itis, that they should be disposed to see the great check of State interposition n moved from this nia chine,—a machine from vvhi -’i tliey can have r.ot!;- iagto soar, and a cheek on which i. in reality but an other name for restraint on their will. But to the people of the South—the great sec tional minority —to us wao must always remain, to an important extent, a peculiar people, with peculiar and strongly marked interests, habits and pursuits— to us who are doomed, by the necessity of tilings, to constitute the feebler division in this wide exten ded and still enlarging confederacy,—-the principle of State interposition is the very life-guard of our liberties! an indispensable to car salvation.— Should We suffer U tube wrested from us and de molished, the day willjass: irodl v coma, sooner or later, when the more numerous millions ofthe North wil 1 tyranize systematically over tlic fewer millions of the South, and the General (lovermhcnt be conver ted into a mere engine for the enrichment of a sec tional majority at the expense and to the heavy op pression of the sectional minority. Os what avail then is it, in the long result of things —to what does it amount in reforrcnco lithe last in" support of our vital interests aud great consti tutional rights, that General Jackson has, through all his previous administration, sought to arrest the tide,of Federal encroachments, if now he is permit ted to succeed in tearing from our grasp what would be our only' shield of defence against a future ad ministration that might be di.-pused to oppress us.’ Little shall we gain by his e ill (its t > still iff- mis named American System, however successful they irjay prove for the present, if the same hand that has hjen nerved to liberate in fro ;i its oppress!* ms. shall aliocast us, disarmed and pinioned,through all com ing time, on the teuder mercies of those passions and interests in which that system originated, and by which it will eventually be re-established* unless t shall be kept down by the conviction that tire States to bo oppressed by it would resort to their high right of interposition and self-protection. Ves! the settled conviction that this high right would he sorted on the occurrence of a proper case for its ■xcrcisc,would tend naturally and powerfully to preveut the occurrence of such a case; as a sword n the scabbard defends the w e arer by causing him not to be attacked. We will not castaway our sword of defence at the bidding of Andrew Ju'*ks< >n, nor will wc permit our shield of protection to bo broken in pieces by the rod of his power. Distant, far distant be the day, when we shall be necessitated to draw that sword )r uplift that shield in self-dofodee. J’ut we know ull well, that.to surrender either-would not hasten hepe iod when wc should stand in bitter want of hr one and the other. South Carolina, however, has thrown herself ful v in the breach ; and if Justice, Right,aiul thcCon aitution, are not merely empty sounds, she is des tined to prevail. Her triumph, if she docs succeed, will redound to our benefit; her discomfiture,, if she is doomed to fail, will afflict us with all the calami ties of which she herself will be the victim. Whe ther we have diiiurcd and still diflerfrom her or not, in some positions of her theory of constitutional rights, is now of little consequence in relation to the noiiieutuous contest in which she is involv ed. For 'etit be remembered, that it is not against the pecu liarities, of her doctrine, but against the great prin ciple of State Interposition, under any circumstan ces that the thunders of the l’roclamation arc hurl ed. That principle is right ; to us it is the copser native principle of all our reserved rights and con ititutional liberties; and wc must maintain it, or yield ourselves up to be ground to dust at the wi.l us a great central Government, without limitation of powers. I On the many points of inferior importance on which the Proclamation is open to exception, wc will not dilate, but will proceed simply to set forth our dissent to such of them as occur to us most in teresting. Resolved, Therefore, that we dissent from all those views in the President’s Proclamation, which proceed on a denial of the rights of a State to arrest through her constituted authorities, the operation within her territory, of ail unconstitutional law of Congress. Resolved, That wc dissent from ail those parts ofthe Proclamation which assert the Consitutmnal itv of the Tariff acts of 1 Bcß and 1532; and espe cially we protest yu list t' e doctrine that Congress can, by a fraudulent omission to set forth, onthe face of the law, the ofijact for which it was passed, place the question of the constitutionality of such law beyond the reach of the State sovereignties. Resolved, That wc dissent from the Presidents views in relation to the origin ofthe Constitution and Government ofthe United States. W e believe they Were created by the People of the States in their Character of separate political societies, and not by the People of all the States, acting as one collective mass of population. Resolved, That foe constitution ot tin." 1 niled States, being a compact among the States, as p diti i cal sovereigns, those sovereigns have each the rignt °f secession therefrom, in case ot breaches ot the compact by the other parties; —and that this right tests on the same principles, (subject to such rnodili flUions as result from the peculiar structures of our federative system) as apply to all cases of a league 0r compact between Sovereign Slates. Resolved. That wc regard with special disap probation the doctrine, that a citizen can he guilty °( i’reason, whilst acting in obedience t<> the sover eign authority of his own Stale. Resolved, That we deprecate a resort tomiiita !ryor naval force, for the settlement ot the prevail ing controversy, between South Carolina and th ,; General government; ami we invoke the interposi tion of Congress, by a repeal of thr protective s tvm.aithe most pro|>cr and direct way of removing present difficultiesaiul dangers; and as the wrong commenced bv the action *»f (Vipgn s- in establish* ■ ing this unconstitutional and oppressive policy, it is : the boonden duty of Congress to administer a Veme ■ dy by retracing its steps and returning to the prin ; ciples ot Justice and the Constitution. And in case of the pertinacious refu. al of Congress to adopt this salutary course, it will be the duty of the States to have recourse to the last and highest remedy provi ded by the Constitution itself, in the power of mak ngam *;i knents thereto. A. M. lb King, Esq. offered the following pre amldc and resolutions as a substitute lor Mr. Chap peli’s: \\ hereas a meeting of the citizens of Monroe County has been called to express their opinion in relation to the lute Proclamation of the President of the United States, and wc, a portion ofihe citizens of said County, in exercising the right of expressing our opinions in r- - lation totiie above mentioned Proclamation, deem it due die occasion to say, that that instrument receives our cordial approbation, as one embracing the print iples up »n tile perpetuation of which our form of government most essentially depends. We deem it not disrespect ful to iinonisli our f 'luw-ciliz ns that the right of the ( nite and mates to secure their unn political existence is essentially interwoven with the principles assumed, and in b tin *. able and atfoelionuto manner vindicated by its i . :i« raid • iu.d triotu; author. V* c indulge a hope that the-day is yet di.-tant, far eis ant, when the doctrine ••nt!l b. rici-iVid a- true, by die people of our common country, that the dominant faction i:i any one Cilate have l the hioht of placing their own construction on tin laws and constitution ofthe whole Union, and of enforcing that construction against the opinions and interests, pos sibly, ot fifty times their own number of free citizens of a common government. We view this doctrine us es sentially the same with ti t lately assumed by u por tion ofthe people of our sister {State of Soulh-C'urolina, a doctrine which, if carried into effect, will prove the overthrow of all that is politically worth enjoying both to dnunselves ii.id tous," —a doctrine which vve believe to be anti-rcpubl.can,and tending to anarchy and the subversion of all social security and the perpetuation of the civil rights ofthe people of these United .Slates: still less can vve admit the i : lit of any Slate to withdraw from the Union ivncii a majority o that State may think right to do si: vve hold dnt k the beginning of the slrug vie which led to our national iiu'epi ndcnce, the feelings of our forefathers were common—that it was a united struggle in the same common . uuse, and for the gener al benefit of the whole country ; and vve would respect fully e h, can vve believe that those who thus devotedly risked their ail in the noble cause, ever for a moment believed themselves to be contending for the establish ment of iiiirtcen separate governments, which should not only stand independent of and unaccountable to the rest of the World, but absolutely and perfectly so to one another! Vve cannot so believe nor for ouo moment ad mit. To admit a perfect rigid in one party, in general im plii a perfect obligation ou the uart of all others to ob serve that, right, ami to abstain from its infraction. One part of our constitution declares '-hat ‘Congress shall hav e power to levy and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises,” —another part declares that Congress shall have power to “declare war”—here the words are sim ple,ami as htoad, perhaps, as the English language will : riilow. A portion, however, of the people of one State have aaid that although certain laws are clearly within the letter, yet they depart from the spirit and intent ot that instrument, and are therefore unconstitutional, void, and of no effect, aud that ti cy have the right to be their own exclusive judgi s in regard to this important matter, aud in effect say that the people of the United States and oi'the world are of l ight bound to acquiesce in this their judgment. And further, wc hold that under the constitution the rights of all the States in relation to the power of construing laws-, arid acting on that construc tion, are perfectly equal; and if tne stand assumed bv our sister state of South-Caroliua be correct, and there he in existence no rightful authority to gainsay her acts, vve arc unable to imagine any right onthe part of the General Government to enforce a declaration of vv ar on Louisiana, provided a majority of the people of that State were to pronounce the war declared lo carry into effect some system of policy not authorised by the Constitu tion, and this too after the territory and jurisdiction of Lousisiana had been actually purchased by the common treasure of all the States. • For the avoiding of these and numberless other absurdities, and the shocking conse quences incident thereto— Resolved, That under the Constitution of tile L nited States, and the oath taken hy the President, we hold that he lias no personal discretion in enforcing the laws pass ed according to tin? forms aud provisions of that instru in nt. Resolved, That so long as the right of suffrage and of free representation is secured to the people of these U. States, the object of the first political importance is the pri nervation of our national Union ; and its dissolution is to be deprecated as the greatest of political, evils, not to one part alone but to every portion of our common country. Resitted, That our confidence in the patriotism of our venerable chid magistrate, Andrew Jackson, re mains tindiminished, and that we hail ifi him not only "tin-di fender of our country, but the friend ol our Un iofl, constitution and iavvs. The adoption of the first preamble anil resolutions was advocated by Messrs- Chappell, Gorrlan, Beall and James W. Harris. The substitute, was supported by Messrs. King, Smyth, anil Benjamin F. Harris. After a protracted discussion, a division was called for, when it appeared that .Mr. Chappell's preamble and (evolutions were adopted by a large majority. It was then . , Resolved, netn. con. that the proceedings of this meeting he published in all the papers ofthe State. W.M. I?. STEPHENS, Chairman. Wat. P. i iexit y, Secretary. In accordance with the last Resolution above, Edi tors of papers throughout the State are respectfully re quested to publish the foregoing proceedings. THREATS OF cftlL WAR ! The Union presses have been for some time bristling with arms, and are teeming daily with horrible forebo dings of civil strife arid murder. The kind hearted U uiomstsofottr City are regularly served w ith a morning and evening repast out of their old dish of “Rawhead and Bloodv Bones,” and arc told of the fathers hand being against the son—and tlie son's against the father—bro ther warring against brother—and women and children savaoelv slaughtered. It wonld be amusing were it not ion melancholy a state of things to justify a smile—to re flect whence rome these sanguinary threats, and hy whom they are to be executed. The State Rights party wash their hands of all this in ugh blood. The objects are peac ful, as also the incans by which tin y propose lo i f !'< ct them. Towards their Union iellovv citizens they have conducted themselves with great forbearance, and will continue to forbear. If t xro must be war then, who will be guilty ?

Who arc encouraging the violence of Gen. Jackson, and hailing with liosan n.ihs his tyrannical manifestoes? Let these ahliorrers 0 f war and v iolence answer these questions if they can, and disprove our assertion that it we are to be involved in a remorseless war—vve shall be indebted for the bles j„gto the benevolent exertions of the Union party and press.

MiLLEDCHiYHTE, FEBRUARY H. 1*33. A voice Ixosa Monroe. T!;c proceedings of a meeting lately field in Motlroe ) one of the most wealthy, intelligent and populous comi ties in the State, publish din our paper, to-day wi.l he read with great interest. Wc commend these proceed ings to the attentive perusal cf cur readers —’ The Pro amide and resolutions presented hy our vvortny and tal ented fellow-citizen, A. IT. Chappell, F.q. contain the very essence of the Republican doctrines the substi tute offered by A. M. 1). King, Esq. contain the quint essence of the old Federal doctrines, such as the I'cdc ralists of ’9B—’9 advocated when they obtained the pas sage of lhe Alien and Sedition law. We live in por tentous tiim..-—and in the language of Troup, “ The in dications of public sentiment at this moment arc uner ring, that an overwhelming majority favors a conso’idated government, aud it may behoove the people in all wis dom to prepare, not for the improvement of their comb ion, but lor a Cwsar and the purple." Monroe lias spo ken the sentiments of her people —vvc»cai! upon the peo ple ofthe other counties of this State to go and do like wise—The question is Liberty or Slavery—a consolida ted despotism, or a government limited by the constitu tion i.iide for the protection of the minotity against the encroachn’Ciffs of a majority.

Our readers will find in our paper to-day the bill re ported by -Mr. Wilkins, Chairman of Mir Judiciary Com mitfec to the Senate. \Vhoover peruses the |.revisions of that bill, cannot but tremble for the liberty he en joys. Should an infatuated congress pass it into a law, ves they will th.cn sanction by tiieir votes “ the creation of a dictator!" The patriotic Governor of Virginia, in his late iims sage on this subject, says, “ we are not to he deceived— for vve cannot misunderstand the et of tnosc war like recommendations. The doctrines lately promulga ted, deny any sovereignty to the States; and States Rights, it would set in in the opinfipn of'd' o President are held as grants from the federal constitufion. I .>e difficulties which State Sovereignty and State Tfot-'hN might interpose, being in this summary method dispose'* of, the field is open to the array of milib.ry legions, to crush by force that which is sustained hy justice, patri otism and the constitution. The power claimed for that Government, makes it already absolute, should Congress indulge the President in his desires, they sanc tum hy their vote the creation of a dictator. ’ And yet the people are as indifferent as if Congress were engaged in their most ordinary legislation. The President asks, and Congress is about to give him unli mited control over our lives and liberty—and Georgia, patriotic Georgia is silent!

Spirit of’76! Where haft thou fled !!. PRODIOKMS! i The cm Tito s;.d all accomplished Editor of the Gcor i g>u Telegraph, with Ins accustomed ability lias concoct ed an article In .üb.d the “Pardon ol the Missionaries” and ano'her headed “ Governor Lumpkin” in the last j number of Ids patristic Journal. His defence of the {‘mystical’ Governor, is truly worthy, the iilustnms elmacter cf the “stiperiutendant of a mighty vvork- I shop!” In the first cf these articles the Doctor seems ! to think that the enemies of his ‘obsolete’ excellency, have found a p. cions merccav in the pardon of the mis-: -ionaries. l’n trimming the first part of this article, I ! lie asks with much s.Jf complacency, “ has he been j guilty of fiivoritismor partiality ?” Ay verily good Doc tor, I. s he. “ Has he not resisted Federal usurpation ! and maintained the rights and dignity of the State?” Now by thy own pi il box most worthy Doctor thy mind (isS'rl’i rciv Shafion would say) is “obnubilated by some stiangc hallucination.” Ay, to be sure, in words has fiis ' xei ll.u.ry most lustily hectored about resistance and lig!, -, fiut iu tie's fie has most servilely bowed to Gala's cop, in this very pardon of the Missionaries. In the oilier ar'.li le, the sagacious Editor very wiss.lv concludt and, the whole burden of attack and defence; in reference to the exposure in tlie Augusta Chronicle of ti.o Govin et’s nullification, would devolve upon liis pugnacity, since his Excellency’* ‘auxiliaries' in and about Milledgeville were 'few a?td feeble.' This was particularly kind in the Doctor, and is alike credi table both to fiis in ad and heart. He lias made a most ! wonderful d,.-. overt', and informs liis rea !crs of it, with j two or three !!! as much as to say, mark that master I Brook. Gent! .-reader, what do you think this mighty i discovery consists in? Herr: it is. “ But mark, in neither : of the 1. tiers is one word said about nullification or any : thing that looks like it !” A wonderful discovery, truly! .Joes iliis sapient Edifor suppose that liis Excellency is so great a do!t as to use the proscribed word even to the advocate of tlip. doctrine. No no. This “ superinten dant of a ini.dii y workshop” thought lie could feed the nullificr vv itli soil corn ; and if the doctrine should be come popular, why then, he could appeal to the Editor of the Chronic!.’, that he had early approved of the doc trine; but if it should become unpopular with his frit lids, in ■ could say, as lie has doubtless directed the Editor of tiie Macon Telegraph to say for him, that he did not use the word nullification at id!! But the most extraordinary pur! of t' is article is yet lo be notion. T.io wi.i t s .ys, “ the Governor ow: * ' pied as his time m- •« sariiv is with •• duties of his | office, neetr read Mr. R.'s ! g!■ tta \ < ceui ruitl . not reply to his ineiaj.iiysic and tV o; Now i ■ J obvious either that the vuiter uu-rluuki and • M,r .y t0,.- expression in liis Exceib ney’s letter ot the 9th June, namely : “ not liav mg answi red your former interesting letter, &c.,” or he places but little reliance in the Go vernor's veracity, since it iSdifficult to understand liovv the Gov ernor could judge that Mr. I’.’s former letter was interesting, unless he Had read it. The Doctor in en deavoring to get nis Excellency out of a scrape, seems to have got into one himself-—but s icii is apt to be the late of those, who in their anxiety to defend a friend, forget that he is indefensible. “ 4 Daniel come to kulgment.” Vve are not desAous of tasking the "feebleness” of the would-be-thought i flick'd, to palliate Hit; late act ol “Executive clemency” in pardoning the missionaries. li.it .' ‘ten tiie immaculate editors of that consistent print, i«por ai»o Mt depravity of heart that makes men hate ami traduce whatever is virtuous and noble” and of “the jaundiced vision that can discover, or malevolent hearts that will acknowledge nothing praiseworthy out of their own ranks,” we would charitably suggest, t’ha‘they take the beam out of their own eyes, belore they seek the mote in tiie eyes of others. Our business is not at pre sold with tiie many unintentional and thcTefore excusa ble inisr. presentations, of which they have heretofore been guilty, hut rather with the lute error into which they have unconsciously fallen. “But those, says the Federal Union, w ho condemn the act of executive clemency, are enable to justify their censures hv any plausible argument. One “ sage eru dite,” hi order to slu vv w ind w as the duty of Gov. Lump-. ju, affirms that < : ov. Gilmer pardoned other persons, c(Jn v;r*<’d at tin* sum time, and of the same offence, w ith the i.iissio.-iaries, on their taking the oath presribed not again to v‘*ol.ite the law. 11. re vve plead guilty totiie charge of ignorance. The above paragraph is the fust intimation we have had, that the Law under which the missionaries w ere convicted, prescribed an oath not to “violate the law /” The “ac complish! and civilian’'(ue thank thee Jew, for teaching us the word) who penned this sapient exposition ofthe law, had doubtless more authentic information “ of the laws and history of the country” 'ban lias fallen to our hum ble lot. Truly the quotation .at the head of this article, fits him to a nicety. For Ins liberality in tints bringing to our notice vvlmt has heretofore escaped not only our own observation, hut the observation of loose w ho have some reputation for legal acuteness, lie lias our unbounded gratitude. Vo in oor simplicity and ignorance, had al ways understood, that poisons resident in the Cherokee territory without a license from the proper authority, or without having taken the oath of allegiance required by the act of I’■3o, should on conviction be subjected to four years Imprisonment in the Penitentiary. These | missionaries w« re residing in that territory, without the | license, or without having tak< n the oath as prescribed ! by the law and were consequently apprehended, tried, convicted and punished. But with due reverence to the veracity of the Federal Union, he it observed the above paragraph which vve have copied is not w hat tre raid on the subject, but a figment, a mere coinage of the writer’s brain. The following sentence appears to have been floating somew hat indistinctly in the writer’s memory, and if lie was unable to grasp its meaning, the fault is doubtless attributable rather to our perspicuity than to his comprehension. “It is known that Gov. Gilmer offered these men a pardon provided they would comply with the law of Geor gia, and take the oath required by that law.” If the Editors of the Federal Union will take the trou ble lo read over the sentence in connexion with the ba lance ofthe paragraph they will discover wc referred to the missionaries themselves and not to those men who were pardoned by Governor Gilmer. Although vve are not disposed to prate about jaund' ed vision, malevolence of heart,tie,we cannot help smiling at the modest assurance that can unhlusliinglv repose on the credit gamed l.y another. We are not in the 1 nst sur prised that the Federal Union would arrogate to G( v. Lumpkin, the humanity and magnanimity exhibited in the “late act of Executive eh money,” if rumor be true his Excellency m this splendid achievement was lint the pliant tool of the minions of now r—in which our uod m 1 Vicar of Rray, was somewhat conspicuous. With the IVdcral Union’s characti ristir obliviousncss of ivtrv thing “praise-woithy out of their own ranks,” they turn to have forgotten the terms cq>on which a pardon was of-. fi red these s i ne men by Gov. Gilmer—terms too which were suggested hy the purest “humanity and gene-osity” not dictated by a selfish junta of political jugglers at Washington. We would respectfully propound the fol low ing mtei rogatories, not to the aspiring officia' ol'Gov. Lumpkin hut to his Excellency himself. Did faot His Excellency descend from hii high station to.heg of tb< se cun', i ts the letter, which would pardon them? Or was it not done with his privity and sanction or at lee suggea*- lion ? \\ l lie i »t induced to this course, in eotisptjuenre of comimiuicatiotisfrom Washington? If these qffi strorw , ri main iman.-w r ed—his Excellency's uStiHeS wltl be I ascribi and to a consciousness on ids part, that s'lertee is i better than aubterf. je ami safer thin the truth. The following 1 it. r from a distinguished member of ; Congress, to the Editor of this paper, shews liovv the land lies there as to the Tariff. The manufacture!*! it seems hold the balance of powr r in the House of Repre sentatives. Consequently, it is worse tiian idle to sup pose, that tin r will he any reduction of taxes. Be assured, that the worst passion* of tile human heart and the most subtle projects ofthe human uitnil are in league against ii3. Avarice is tire master passion that controls the deliberations of Congo ss in this matter— its gia-ping influence is t!io tie of the manufactures association and the dread of losing their advantage is the indissoluble bond of their union. This avarice may well be termed “ the sepulchre of the other passions as they successively decay it is sharpened by food, it be comes rapacious by repletion—it first r.iqqilicaled for a crumb—its appetite is now ungorg- and alllio’ banqueting on the w hole substance ofthe South. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Washington Citv, Jan. 23d 1833- Dear Sir, —l w rite while .Mr. Appleton, a very large manufacturer, is holding forth on the Tariff Bill and of course very much opposed to any reduction. At this very moment two thirds of the members of the House are standing round him, like bidders around a lit lie jew Pedlar, view ing and exaining something likei thirty or forty specimens of clothes and calicoes which he is des canting upon and which he says if the duties are kept on he can manufacture this and that nt such and such a price, hut if they are reduced, of course, it will reduce his profits in promotion to the reduction.

Wo haVc read it at tentively. It gives, or proposes to give all power t > the President, to be exercised at his pleasure! It makes him the sole and uneontroled arbiter of the lives ami liberties ofthe People ofthe United States, It constitutes him sole MONARCH ofthe AMER ICAN EMPIRE ! One step further—let Congress accord this power- -let them pass this Rill if they dare—and a hundred thousand swords will leap from their scabbards. Liberty is not to perish here without struggle. Such an act on the part of Con gress, would announce to the world the end ofthe Rcbublic. It will summon TO ARMS. If-South' Carolina would, under other circumstances have rescinded her Ordinance, let her not do it now. Un der this Bill. Liberty must perish. Stand forth then, alui if the battle must be strike as did your Fathers, against the Tyrant.
