bjra been forced to acquiesce in the decision of tha m^critv
a;j in tlie case of the first formation of Society by a people
without government and without laws. It follows therefore,
to the most perfect demonstration, that this is strictly a Fe
deral not X National Government in its character and opera
tion, and that a State can withdraw herself peaceably from
the Union.
tiii: i ltisis.
Truly have tve fallen upon evil tunes. We arc in
doubt to what cause we can ascribe the present gloomy
aspect of affairs. It is admitted in the halls of Congress
,ha: the South is oppressed but when a remedy for that
oppression is at length tardily offered, it is coldly repu
diated- The present administration have it in their
Muer to relieve us from our burdens, but we see no
prospect of their doing so. Is it that personal ambition,
has usurped the place of patriotism ; that the gorgeous
splendour of a consolidated -empire iias dazzled the eyes
and perverted the hearts of our politicians? Has im
placable hatred sheltered itself under the folds of the
mantle of the law and is it in that disguise maturing
ltj plans of vengeance? or is a corrupt and in-
terested majority in Congress, bent upon endangering
the peace of the country threatening its fields w ith dest>
lalion by the hand of civil discord and finally sacrificing
the Union on the altar of Mammon ? If there ever was
a time in the history of our country w hen every patriot
should step promptly forth in defence ol its liberties now
is that time. Difficulties are thickening around us.—
One member of our ouco happy confederacy lias adopted
the only means jest her, to protect her citizens from
Federal exactions & she is threatened like a refractory
child with the rod, if she does not remain quiet. She
has presented to Congress the alternative of repealing
an act confessedly unconstitutional, or she will herself
absolve her citizens from submitting in passive obedi
ence to its provisions. Yet Congress are deluding
themselves with the idea that thecoutest will be between
Carolina and the Federal Government alone. That she
must contend single-handed with that imaginary colos
sal power. They profess to believe that her sisters of the
South are calmly awaiting the issue. We would disa
buse them of so fallacious an idea and warn them to
forbear attempting so dangerous an experiment. Though
Georgia stands aloof, she is looking with an eagle eye
on the progress of events. Her silence is the calm that
precedes the thunder storm. The cup of her oppression
roo has been heaped to,the brim ami if a timely relief is
not afforded, no parchment restrictions can fetter her
freedom, no threatening array of military fore# urrost the
execution of her purpose.
Those who would resist the march of despotism and
bring back the violators of the Constitution to act within
the pale of that sacred instrument, those who would
limit the gigantic strides of the Federal Government to
the measure allowed by the charter of our liberties, those
who uphold &i defend the freedom and independence of
the States and advocate their sovereignty according to
the articles of that agreement that formed them into a
confederation, arc branded as disunionists. We ar«
jmong that number, and we linrl back the charge in the
teeth of those who make it. Those who loudly clamour
for State Rights, and secretly support the doctrines of
Federalism and those, who, for the sake of a few paltry
millions, jeopardize the existence and the permanency
ofthis union would clasp in secret satisfaction the price
of its destruction to their hearts even amid the smoulder
ing ruins of their country. These pliant minions of
unprincipled factions are side by side and assume to
themselves the title of unionists. These self-styled union
men have now a glorious opportunity of redeeming them
selvesfrom the aspersions they would cast upon others.
Many who profess to venerate the Union, occupy a seat
in the halls of Congress. Let their reverence be shown
rather in deeds than in words. Many professed friends
of the South wield an influence in our National coun
cili, let them stamp their professions with the seal of sin
cerity by their acts. The repeal of the Tariff will satis
fy us that the union is far dearer than a protective system.
The repeal of the Tariff is the only token of sincerity
we will receive from our clamorous friends of the North.
The repeal of the Tariff will restore our distracted
country to its former prosperous condition. The
repeal of the Tariff is the only efficient relief that Con
gress can extend to the South. But Massachusetts has
said that she will resist a repeal: while she is inveighing
in the most opprohious terms against South Carolina
for resolving to arrest the execution of an uncon
stitutional act, she in the same breath declares that her
Legislature and her citiz< ns individually may right
assist the operation of a constitutional law, because for
sooth, it is injurious to her pecuniary interests. The
resolutions of her legislature are tantamount to a declar
ation that secession is her remedy. Can it be possible,
that the eyes of her jiolitieians have become suddenly
opened to the fact, that a State has a right to secede.—
Her federal doctrines, or rather the federal doctrines of
the President approved and applauded by her, teacb a
different lesson. Why, and wherefore this'sudden con
version ? Is it to intimidate the representatives of the
people of the United States. We regret, but we are not
surprised at the course Massachusetts lias taken, it is
not the first time site lias arrayed herself in opposition to
the laws of the country.
We have been looking with no little solicitude at the
progress of affairs, and we confess ourselves unable to
account for the strange reluctance manifested by the
iilministration party in Congress, to relieve us from the
nils which they themselves admit should be remedied,
liie President has recommended a repeal of the Tariff,
bcSccretary of the Treasury has laid the necessary in
ormation before that body, strongly seconding the re
•ommendation, and a bill is now pending before the
louse to carry it into effect. But the friends of the ad
ninistratiun ins'ead of lending their efforts to quell the
lissensions that now agitate the country, become sudden
y indifferent to its fate. In this strange apathy there
nust be something more than meets the eye. Arc there
icw intrigues afoot at Washington ? Those who stand
ichir.d the curtain and pull the wires of the political pup
ictshow, cannot be,blind to the storm that is gathering,
‘hey know that unless some efficient and peaceable
Mans of relief are speedily adopted, the position of
he whole South becomes more decided. They need not

But what has a knowledge •of tha history and laws of the
country to do with the pardon of the missionaries ? In our ar

I„m V d ® d ' lst ' rs : we desired to know, whether Governor

which was to grace their pardon ; and whether this was not

dent or others? Good sirs, your real in this matter like toworing
Pi } lOU iaß ov . cld eaped itself—and tranaended your discretion.
W e fear there ia too much truth in the humiliating cireumstancea
under which it is believad these missionaries wore pardoned ;
and cannot but attribute bis Excellency’s silence as we have be
fore said, “to a consciousness on tiis part, that silence is better
than subterluge and Bafor than t'-o truth.”
“I W ON’T AI*E TUOI P.”
Did the vain author of the above remark over imagine,
even in moments, when the honied tongues of Ilia flut
tering jHiraxites were distilling their sweetest potions in
bis ear—did he ever imagine it to he in his power to
“ape Troup?" We knew that undeserved promotion
dazzles the possessor, that it is apt to render a man con
spicuously ridiculous. Jttdeed, it is said by a profound
judge of human nature, that high office “dignifies mean
ness—magnifies littleness : to what is contemptible, it
gives authority and to what is low, exaltation,” but we
are yet to learn that it ever gave birth to rirtues before
possessed not; or enlarged the conceptions of a pigmy
mind —And until it can be proved to possess the taiis
manac quality of converting lead into gold —or folly
into wisdom —we must be skeptics still.
The age of miracles lias gone by ; many centuries have
passed since the mantle of the ascending prophet fell
hia successor. Miraculous indeed would it be deemed
if the present time-serving, twisting, truckling incum
bent of the chair of Troup, could thereby be enabled to
“ape” the virtues, the devotion, the patriotism dr the
talents of bis great predecessor.
If a comparison were forced upon us, we would hold
up the official aets of both, and sav, “look upon this pic
ture and on that.” The one pi need Georgia, on a proud
commanding eminence, and procured for himself a death
less name, this was our Governor. The other has sunk
the character of the State, into the very depths of humil
iation and when his brief term of official misrule is end
ed, there will be none so poor as to do him reverence!
This is our Governor.
The Federal f uion.
The worthy Editors of the Federal Union ( par nobile
fratrum) have condescended to take notice of Governor
Troup’s Letter. After their review of it lct no one at
tempt to criticise it: the best has been done. Let the
Edinburg spill its gall. After reading the Federal
criticism, we say in our humble judgment that it is non
pareil. They have but to ca.-t a stone, and the giant
dies. Upon the completion of that article, we must sup
pose that nature broke the mould that the like should
never be seen again. It is an offering worthy of Apollo,
although our Pressman says, that it reminds hi in of a
mouse in a pitch barrel.
How strange it is to hear the opinions of men upon
such theorems as are contained in the Federal Review ;
for instance, there is a quid nunc of modern growth who
frequently visits our reading table to learn the progress
of the Army bill, upon reading the Review, exclaimed,
“if nature does not, anger makes us write." There
stood bv, a man of reality who added 11 they have seited
the moon by the teeth;" A septuagonary who was devout
ly conning the doctrine of the right in the General Gov
ernment to sell a State, replied “« corrupt judge is not
qualified to enquire into the truth:" But said a Philoso
pher who heard it read, “fAe mind ought sometimes to be
amused that it may return to thought and to itself."
For those who love and admire Governor Troup, it is
w ell for him that the Federal has taken this serious no
tice of him and his doctrines. It is what the moat san
guine of his friends had no right to expect; it is his
apotheosis. Governor Troup now bears the same rela
tion to the Editors as did Idomencus to Epicurus,, to
w hom the latter had written some letters, in which he
said to ldomenctls “ All the glory and grandeur of Persia
even should you succeed in all your undertakings, will
never equal the honot conferred on you by my letters.”
Seneca said in writing to Lucullus, “I have credit with
posterity and can confer immortality upon you.” So
have the Editors done unto Governor Troup. Now for
such distinguished and talented patrons of all that is good
and great to be denounced and repudiated by the “su
perintendent of a mighty Workshop” as feeble auxilia
ries, is bordetitig on the ridiculous. They have decreed
ex cathedra, that the letter contains some wholesome
truths, and have been so kind and polite, and have vouch
safed to commend it to the consideration of the candid
and serious. They have credit with posterity, and ages
to come, and when those yet in the womb of futurity
shall look upon certain hieroglyphics marked upon paper
with a black liquid, which centuries hence will have the
power of penetrating through the eyes into the settso
rium; it will call up by-gone times pointing to Governor
Troup: which but for this summons of the worthy re
viewers would have slumbered forever. It is hoped that
by this article we have gained the good will of the Edi
tors, for to please great tnrn is a circurnstaneo which
claims not the lowest degree of praise.

From the Columbia Times.
The following letter is an additional confirmation
ol the numerous statements that, the people of Geor
gia are with us iu our controversy with tho General
Government, and that they were not correctly re
presented by the resolutions of their legislature, de
nouncing Nullification. Our friends will be grati
fied with the cheering intelligence it conveys.
Hillsboko’, Jasper county, Geo. 1
January 20th, 1633. j
Mr. Editor :—I have observed in your paper,
some indication of the feelings ol the people of this
State, towards South Carolina; but sir, it is a fact,
at which you cannot arrive. The people of Geor
gia are silent: they stand aloof, and are watching
with an Eagle-eye, the movements of King Andrew;
and whenever he strikes the first hostile blow, they
will rise like freemen to their sister’s aid, “resolved
to do or die.” Never, sir, has a State been so base
ly misrepresented, as was Georgia by her last Le
gislature. The passage of John Forsyth’s resolu
tions (known as Rvan'is) and the refusal of Chap
pell’s in the Senate, are in my opinion, condemned
by at least two thirds of her citizens. Never sir,
was a State so disgraced with a Governor, who
shifts with every breeze, and always yields to the
one that presses hardest. He has just stigmatised
the State, with the most disgraceful act of pardon
ing the missionaries, and tlierby yielding up one of
the most important constitutional questions that
could agitate the country, at this time ; and it is be
lieved, nearly, that the “Roaring Lion” and the
Yankees might have South-Carolina single-handed
to contend with. Rut sir, it will not do—Jackson,
Forsyth and Lumpkin, all lumped together, cannot
control the freemen of Georgia. A few sycophan
tic office-hunters, may be brought up—and Mi.
Crawford, through personal malice to Mr. Calhoun,
may somewhat increase the motley crews—but sir,
be assured that the hardy yeomanry of our country
go for South-Carolina. I know sir, in several of the
adjoining counties, Regiments of as brave men as
ever fought for liberty, will at a moment's warning,
rush to the defence of gallant South-Carolina; and
sir, in the little village, and its vicinity, in which I
reside (placed at one extreme of Jasper county,)
we can raise a noble company of “Alligator Hor
ses,” ready at any moment to spill tlieir best blood
to maintatn the Carolina doctrines. Nullification is
no longer a mooted question with us ; it is no time
now to quibble about small matters.—The question
is, are you for Southern rights and Southern liberty;
or for Consolidation and the Northern manufacto
ries? Are you for defending your own rights, your
own homes, your own property, your wives and
children, or joining in with Jackson and the Yan
kees, to rob us of all ? This sir, is now the question
every freeborn Georgian asks ; and it is easily an
swered, (or there is but one answer for a freeman
to make. Nor sir, will we longer pay half of our
hard earning, as a bounty to any set off nabobs, who
bask in ease and splendor, while we linger in pain
and poverty; nor will we longer beg for our dear
est rights, but with noble South-Carolina rise or fall
—live or die. Her cause is our cause; it is flu
cause of the whole South : it is the cause of Luien
ty. On her, now depends one of the most impor
tant events that may ever be recorded in the history
of our country. Wc, then, conjure the people of
South-Carolina to stand fast for the sake of those
who have gone before us, and for the sake of those
who are to come after us—for the sake of liber
ty, stand firm. Wc are either now to be free, or
henceforth the slaves of the North.
COSCiRKSSVONAL.
We ask the attention of our readers to the following
extiact from the debates in the House of Representa
tives, taken from the National Intelligencer. The ad
missions of Mr. Appleton who is largely interested in
Manufactures, is pretty decisive—that they can compete
with England in Mexico, Brazil and in Asia Minor,
without in-otertion. Why then is protection necessary
for them at home ?
Mr. Wickliffe inquired of Mr. Appleton as to the
existing rate of profit in the cotton manufacture.
Mr. Appleton replied that in the Merrimack
Company, with a capital of a million and a half of
dollars, had manufactured cottons to the amount of
$(>00,000, on which business they had found a bal
ance in their favor of but #57,000. Their profits
were -1 jier cent, for the last six months ; this, how
ever was a season of peculiar depression. In 1631,
when tlieir business bad been most prosperous, their
profits for six months had gone as high as 10 per
cent., being at the rate of SO per cent, per annum.
But nothing was more fluctuating. The only Com
i pany now, at Lowell, whore stockwas at par, ware
* n S n S c d 1,1 Kiauulaoturlng for fbreign markets, Iu
fine goods, the caprice of fashion was such, that pri
ces could not be ca'culated upon.
Mr. Cambreleng thought that the statement just
made, presented one of the strongest arguments that
could be adduced against the gentleman's own pro
position. Ihe only successful company, it seemed,
were engaged in making cotton for exportation.
Now, he would ask, was there any protection where
these cottons went? Were there any protecting
laws for these cottons in Mexico? In Brazil? In
Asia Minor? Here then, after years of protection,
in which the farmers ol this country had paid an in
creased price for all their cotton goods, the manufac
turers came forward and avowed that their most
profitable business was supplying, not the home
market, but nations ten thousand miles off. Mr. C
was for removing the duty, and placing their cottons
here in our own market just as they were placed in
markets abroad. The Glasgow manufacturers had
no protection against those of Manchester ; yet
they, and even the poor people of Switzerland, were
able to compete with the Manchester skill and capi
tal ;• and surely our people could do the same. Air.
C. ref rred to the personal wealth of the gentleman
from Massachusetts, and the thriving state of the
manufacturing towns, as proof, that the business
must be very profitable ; deprecated the minimum
system as deceptive; and preferred an ad valorem
duty, as open and above board.
Mr. Clayton—though he supposed that the testi
mony of u manufacturer from the south of the Poto
mac would not be entitled to the same credit as that
of those at he North, would neverthelcM slier his
own testimony as a manufacturer, that the manufac
tures ot the South could do without such a protection
as was proposed by the gentleman from Massachu
setts. It might be an uncommon spectacle in that
House to see a manufacturer voting against his own
interest, for he believed that, with many of those
who voted for protection, it was a case of life and
death.
Mr. Davis inquired whether the gentleman allu
ded to him.
Mr. Clayton replied in the negative.
Mr. Davis said that he did not own, and never
had owned, a dollar’s worth of manufacturing pro
perty in his life.
Mr. Clayton said, that if there were any other
gentlemen, who wished to put a similar inquiry, let
them come forward, and he would answer them j or
he would consent, that all those who were personally
interested, should be excused from voting.
Mr. Appleton inquired whether the gentleman
included those from the South, the value of whose
cotton crop was, according to their own statement,
vitally concerned in the destruction of the protective
system.
Mr. Clayton said he had not intended to produce
any excitement ; but as he was himself a manufac
turer, and the question should be whether protecting
duties should be increased, he should feel bound to
go without the bar. But he presumed he was at li
berty to vote against himself. The existing protec
tion gave him tJie monopoly of the State of Georgia,
and enabled him to make a profit of 00 per cent, on
cotton cloth, at ten and 12 cents a yard. If a square
yard duty of 7 1-2 cents should be added, as was
now proposed, what would his profit be then? The
gentlemen of the North wanted a law which should
be equal to the advantage the European manufactu
rer had in the cheapnesss of food, «fcc. Now, with
the duty of 7 1-2 cents, those Northern manufactu
rers had made cloth, anu sold it at the door of his
factory at 6 cents per yard. At what rate could it
be got, should free trade be established? The gentle
man from Massachusetts had made an eloquent ap
peal agaiast reducing American labor, and compell
ing the operatives to do without the comforts of lif*.
That very condition the gentleman so much dreaded
was now the condition ot Mr. C’s constituents. If
gentlemen needed such a protection to carry on
their manufactures, why not impose the tax upon
their own kitate, under a State law? Why make
the South pay for it? Supposing and
Massachusstts to be the only States in the Union,
would it be fair to make Georgia pay a tax to sup
port Massachusetts?
If their fields produced cloth and hats, and ail
oilier neeeessaries of life, growing on bushes, would
it be fair to make them pay a tax on these articles
for the benefit of Massachusetts? Would not this
reduce Goorgia to the state of a colony? If the bill
would destroy the Northern factories, let the opera
tivesgoto the West. It was declared that the Gov
ernment had a l ight to bring down the sluve labor of
the South to a level with the free labor of the North;
id cst, that the Southern capital should be reduced in
value till it was on a level with the Northern capi
tal. If so, it was time the South knew it. The
Southern climate produced in cotton, rice, tobacco,
and sugar, about 45 millions of dollars ; and it was
to get at this amount that the Northern capitalist
seized upon the Government as an instrument, and
enacted the Tariff law. The South got this out of
the earth bv their slaves ! and yet they were told
that slavery was the cause of all their troubles.
The truth was, that their slates were, in fact, the
slaves of the North. It was their slaves that sailed
the Northern ships, and ran the Northern spindles.
Their slaves were their machinery, and they had as
good a right to profit by them, as Northern men had
by the machinery they employed. It was not slava
ry that produced the depression of the South. It
was the robbing the Southern planter of one half he
earned, to swell the profits of tho Northern manu
facturer.
For the Times ip State Rights Advocate.
It sterns that the Editor* of tlio Federal Union are
somewhat loth to credit the common report in relation t*
Mr. Wilde’* late “ inflammatory” speech, in Congress,
upon tho euhjrct cf the Tariff; assigning as a reaaon
for their misgiving*, that, it ia not in exact accordance
with 41 the generous and jratriotic sentiments contained
in his letter to the Richmond (Inquisitorial) Committee:”
Thereby, leaving us to infer, that they are laboring un
der the delusion, that all, who were at that time opposed
to Nullification, and disposed to deprecate what they
conceived to he the impetuous course proposed to lie
pursued by South Carolina, should, as a matter of course
still continue to denounce her policy, and rally them
selves under the banner of her adversaries. Gentle
men, you arc sadly mistaken ; your conclusion is very
far from being correct. The great agitating question
has been vastly changed since the writing of Mr. Wilde’s
letter ; the truth of which is so plain and palpable, that
I cat hut wonder at the dullness or depravity of the man
who could manifest ignorance in the case. It has al
ways been admitted upon all sides in the South, that the
I'ai iff is an ert/—consequently, that the cause in which
Carolina is engaged, ia in itself a righteous one : She
has been endeavoring to remare an evil —therefore, tiic
moving principle of action must be virtuous. But, the
grand question of dispute was originally, as to the expe
diency of the measures by which she proposed to redress
that evil. Many of our good old Republicans were of
opinion, that those measures were not the beat that could
berpbeen fieviyf'l, Bid since tTarelina hs? takes
Imr stand . fence Cwsar hag waved hi* purple fl.w of
blood over the Republic, and sworn by the hting Gt and
that military despotism shall henceforth swav life <-ov
crnmeutal sccplro! thousands of stout hearted , i.wiots,
w ho were before opposed to Carolina’s course, have ’wa
ked up to the truth, that, the question is not noiv, whr ill
er our sister is »right or wrong in her measures; hut,
whether we shall sit still and permit the yoke ofoppres
sionto be fastened forever upon our necks by the bayo
net ts of the manifest enemies of Southern rights and
Southern interests? Whether we shall remain passive
and see the sacred chart of our liberties, which was be
queathed to us as a|precious legacy by the fathers of the
Revolution, slaughtered and offered up ; s a bleeding
sacrifice upon the snionking altars of avarice and embi
tion ? Whether we shall stand ui.; ioi t and amid the tumb
ling ruins of this tqighty fabric, which was reared and
dedicated to the God of Liberty ; Lot, which is now
threatened to be converted by the ruthless arm of power
into the idolatrous temple of an unknown deitv ? The
answer is—“no! never!” When questions like these
(which are the only legitimate onss growing out of the
present crisis) are proposed to the people for their con
sideration, 1 vouch for the truth, that thousands and tens
of thousands of patriot freemen, who have long peeming
ly slumbered in their might, shall start from Thuir appa-'
rent lethargy and strike for liberty or death ! : *
i bus it is with Mr. W ilde, gentlemen. lie is an hon
est man. lie honestly believed, that Carolina was mis
taken in some matters of miner Importance, and straight
wav in his native sincerity told her so. He now finds
that, tho liberties of the people arc endangered; That
by permitting Carolina to be crushed in an effort to free
herself from Hit shackles ol slavery, Georgia and all ts
the S.uthcrn States would unavoidably be drawn down
to destruction with her; and finally, uni ss’the oppn s
sor* arm be struck nerveless at once, that, this whole
Republic must become the hapless victim of"a similar
fate. \\ itfi these facts staring him in the faer, is it any
wonder that an American patriot should step forth, and.
in the passionate language of the heart, deprecate th '
evils that would inevitably, result from the repeal of the
Constitution by an interested and reckless majority in
Congress, and the appointment of an American Dictator!
J his was Mr. Wilde. Was it not noble? Was it not
manly 7 Would to God, that nil men were as honest f
W ould that our “ measurably obsolete Governor” were
as atneere ! wc should hoar no more bowlings from his
minions and parasites, and the hireling scribblers of a
state-selling Politician would be compelled to seek nth- i
er employments, than pouring out doleful lamentations
over the prospective downfall of Tvranny ! *
