a lawyer. General Hayne was deeply skilled
- the prhictples of the science, and always happy
IU I judicious in their application. His forensic
dimkrys exhibit great versatility of powers, and an
admirable union of all the essential requisites of
oratorical distinction. Comprehensive in his
views, lucid pi- ltiif arrangement, and possessed at
at the same time of the very happiest mode of
iiablic speaking, he was equally successful in con
vincin'! the- understanding of the court, and in eti
hsting'aml controlling the feelings of the jury.—
Liberal in practice, and courteous 111 demeanor,
lie not only never took an unfair advantage of an
opponent, bit always extended the hand of kind
ness to those of his profession who required his
aitl. Os hliil it may be truly said, that he had no
superior in legal learnihg at the Charleston bur, so
approached him iu eloquence, or in public es
t.illation. No man was .ever more popular in his
profession or more regretted, as the loss of a dis
tinguished ornament, when he was removed to.a
higher sphere.
Hut it is as a statesman and an orator, that Gen.
Havue is best known to- the Union at large; and
it is to his displays srvl services in the Senate of
the United States, tb it he is rainoijlaHy indebted
for the reputation h«- now enjoys. Although

universally adlhkrdas very able arguments mve
■iiq-ence to a great question of constitutional and
mercantile law. As dhforinan of the naval coin-'
niiuec of the Sen d'*, he deservedly obtained high
common Intiuh, both for h'is;intimate knowledge of
the wants arid derails of the Navy, and tor Ins pa
triotic devotion to its interest nnd honor. It is to
him that the nation is indebted for the excellent
law tor the gradual improvement of the Navy, and
preservation of ship limber, and for several other
acts which have tended greatly to increase its use
fulness, perfect its discipline,' and preserve its pop
ularity. These were not, however, the only acts
which he originated, ortbeenly matters which en
gaged his attention as a Senator. Few members
01 the Senate were more attentive to business, or
took a move active part in general legislation.—
But of all his displays in that body, none, per
haps. have been so universally or so highly admir
ed, as his two speeches, and particularly the last,
in the ‘•gyeat dcbate,” np'oh Mr. Foot's resolu
tion respecting the surveys of the public lands.—
Asa constitutional argument, his second speech
upon that octasiou will rank with any ever deliv
ered in the Senate. ‘‘Cogent and njasterly in its
reasoning—keen and delicate in its irony—pure,
perspicuous ami elevated in its style, it exhicits,"
says a correspondent, “a profound knowledge of
the true principle-sot our constitution, and ot the
relative rights and duties of the I edCral and State
Governments; exposes the fallacy and danger of
constructive dnetrinn, and lias already done
much to bring the Federal Government hack to
its original limits and intentions, and to revive and
re-establish the principles of Jeffersonian democ
racy. As an effort of intellect, it will rank a
mongstihe highest in the annals of American el
oquence; and; os a faithful exposition of the true
structure and objects of the American confedera
cy, it will be regarded as a text book by the sup
porters of the sovereignty of the States in evqjjr
section of the Union.”
History lias already recorded the events of the
latter part of the vear 188(2; and of the rommeri* e»
ment of 1838. The opposition against the pro
tective policy in South Carolina, which had, for
many years existed, had acquired such strength
111 the first mentioned year, that the Legislature,
Assembled in sjiecial session, enacted a law, on the
26th of October, for a convocation of a convention
of the people of the State, for the purpose of ta
king “into consideration the several acts of the
Congress of the United States, imposing duties
on Foreign imports, for; the protection of domes
tic manufactures, or, for oilier unauthorized ob
jects, to determine on the ehar.icier thereof and
to devise the means of redress, &e.” Os this
convention Mr. Hayne was elected a member from
Charleston, the place of his residence, and when
that body, on the 21th November, adopted the cel
ebrated ordinance of Nullification, he voted with
the majority. In December following, he was
elected by the Legislature, Governor of the State,
and was inaugurated on the 11th of that month,
resigning his seat in the Senate ot the United
States, which was filled by flic election of Mr.
Calhoun, who had vacated the post of Vice-Pre
sident. As Governor of the State. Mr. Ilayne
war very soon called upon to act. The Procla
mation of the President, issued on the 10th of
December, in relation to tbtf proceedings of South
Carolina, reached Columbia iu a very few days,
and was met by a counter Proclamation from Go
vernor Ilayue, expressed in terms oi lofty defiance,
on the tiOth of the sains month. The warlike as
pect of these two documents, exhibiting on the
one hand a determination to put down South Car
olina by force, and on t3ie other, a fixed resolution
lo resist nntn death, very naturally excited an a
lmn fertile satety ot the Union, iu all parts of the
United Stales, which pre Lsposed the majority of
the people in lavor of conciliatory measures. In
South Carolina, preparatiims-of the most vigorous
arid efficient kind were eveiy where made for the
defence of the State, ami in these arrangements
the Governor took an active and conspicuous part.
The proceedings wlfich took place in Congress
on the 2d of March, 1833. are too well known to
need a recapitulation here. Suffice it to say that
the simultaneous passage of a bill modifying the
Tariff, and of one designed to enforce the collec
tion of the revenue, put an end to the apprehen
sions of an approaching conflict between the Fed
eral Government and the State of South Caroli
na, which induced the Convention, On the 15th of
March, to enact an ordinance, repealing the pre
vious one of the 24tli of November. Os this
Convention Governor Hayne was elected Presi
dent at its second session, which commenced on
the 11th of March, and closed 011 the 18th; Gen
eral Hamilton having previously resigned.
From this memorable epoch nntil the month
of December, 1884, Governor Hayne continued
in the Executive Chair, though not w ithout hav
ing subjects of exciting interest to demand his
solicitude. Tile spirit of party in South Caroli
na, had not appeased by the settlement of the dis
pute with the government at Washington. The
predominant party were desirous of enforcing o
bedience to the State in all future by
demanding an oath of allegiance, whilst the Yni
liority threatened resistance to any law which
should be designed to exact it. Iu casting oil up
on those troubled waters. Governor Hnvne was
mainly instrumental, by putting forth a Proclama
tion enjoining obedience to the decision of the
Court of Appeals, which pronounced unconsti
tutional a military oath enjoined by tbe Legisla
ture, in opposition to the decided opinion enter
tained by the party in power. Perhaps to this
wise and prudent course of the Governor, may
be traced that gradual rel axation of the spirit that
urged the enforcement of an oath of allegiance,
which subsequently terminated in the reconcilia
tion of the two parties in the Legislature, com
memorated by the almost unanimous election of
Mr, McDuffie as Governor of the State, and the
abandonment of the bill designed tp exact an oatfi
of allegiance.
In his valedictory message. Governor Hayne
signified his wish topassthe residueof his days in
retirement trom public life; but in this desire he
will scarcely be indulged
The great characteristics of Mr. Ilayne’s mind,
are comprehensiveness, clearness and strength.
He readily perceives aud embraces the strong
paints of a subject, and, directing all bis euergjes
to them, omits those which arc merely minor pr
incidental. His speeches, therefore, whether long
or short, are generally strictly confined to the sub
ject before him; nor docs be indulge in unneces
sary amplification, or occupy time with the discus-,
sion of irreyalent or subordinate topics. He never
speaks for the sake of speaking. Ho is always
more intent upon ideasthan words—more desirous
to convince than shine. His style, therefore, h G
none of those little arts or affectations which are
Usually more designed to tickle the ear than to in
form the sense. Lot it not be supposed, however,
that his speeches are not polished as well as vigor
ous, beautified by ornament, as well as recom
mended by AvMbtteut, Ifolcrt!'tsils'
forte, bathe also possesses, and often draws, into
requisition, extensive s'ores ot' classical literature,
and the rich and varied resources of an active and
fertile imagination. If he docs not abound in met
aphors and similes, his illustrations are nature! and
apt, and always strengthen what they are intended
to embellish. His speeches iu fact, may be con
sulted with equal advantage, ns sources of politi
cal information, or as furnishing a happy speci
men of that Qjjusheil style which might ever to be
aimed at in Parliamentary debate.
Generally mild and persuasive, he is frequently,
notwithstanding, vehement au 1 impassioned; and
though lie prefers to reason or persuade, he often
deals out invective with no sparing lfovd. 11 is
style, indeed, is always admirably adapted to his
subject, and his readers are often astonished and
delighted by vivid bursts of indignation, or by ex
quisite appeals to the best feelings of their hearts,
llis voice is full and melodious, and his 'manner
earnest and impressive. Full of ingenious sensi
bility, his eyes are as expressive as his tongue,
and as he pours out his thoughts 'or feelings,' eith
er in .a .strain of.capt»v:hing v sweetness, or of im
petuous and overbearing, passion every emotion
of his soul ik distinctly depicted in the lineaments
o£ his countenance. When he does not convince
he delights, and eveu prejudice itsell hangs charm
ed upon hi; .lips.
Oyr limits now cumpcl us to a close, and there
fore w-e shall only further, that no man in the
Uuion is more distinguished by public spirit, and
by an ardent devotion to the welfare of his coun
tiv. Though steadfast in his own political prin
ciples, he is without a particle of intolerance to
wards his opponents, and in all the relations of do
mestic and social life, he is beloved and respected,
amiable and affectionate, pure anti irreproachable.

ROBERT Y. HAYNE.
As this gentleman has been spoken of as the
Southern candidate for the Presidency, and we
have announced our willingness to give him our
feeble support, we this week publish, in another
part of our pajß'r, a sketch of his life aid public
services, in order that our readen may properly
appreciate his worth and talents, and be better
prepared to give him their suffrages should he
be a candidate for that high and responsible office.
The work from which this sketch b taken is pure
ly of a National character, not putlishcd with the
view of advancing any political party or doctrine,
and what is found within its lids may be set down
us historical truth, and we would therefore, re
spectfully recommend our readers to give this
sketch au attentive perusal.
It is not for us to tell the people that they can
not be too particular in the selection of a man to
fiil so high and Responsible an office as that of
President of the United States; that they should
be fully convinced he is capable of discharging its
high functions; ami not only capable, but honest,
faithful and patriotic—of this they are all con
vinced. all willing and ready to admit. But con
vinced as they are of the fact, how strangely does
a portion of the jieople act in supporting with so
much earnestness and zeal the present incumbent
particularly that portion attached to him in Geor
gia ? They arc ready to acknowledge, at least a
majority of them, that he is not the man of their
choice, and they profess neither lorr or friendship
(or him—in fact, the only object the) have in view
in supporting him is to “keep up the tarty," and it
seems they would be willing to damrttlie country
for the purpose of “kecjnng up the party /” But
not so iu supporting such a man as Robert Y.
Hayne —in him we find the statesman, the patri
ot, the orator. Descended from a family who
fell martyrs to the cause- of liberty and indepen
dence, he has inherited the spirit of Republican
ism, and every act of bis life fully sustains that o
pintou ; and could the people be brought to ap
preciate the services of this statesman and patriot,
and place him in the Presidential chair, the coun
try would rise to a pre-eminence no other nation
lias ever yet attained, nnd such an one as it is im
possible for her to arrive at under the direction
and guidance of such a corrupt and dangerous
politician as Martin Van Buren, even had he a
century to experiment upon.
But some worthy disciple of the Van Buren
school, may be ready to ask, “why urge the claims
of your candidate, as it is impossible for him to
succeed ?” Even admitting there is no chance
for him to be elected, yet must wc, because we
cannot elect a patriot, lend our aid and support to
one who we believe is dangerous qnd corrupt, and
who, when placed in power, would trample the
constitution and liberties of the country under his
feet for the purpose of carrying out his det igns 1
No- Heaven forbid. If the coimtry has to btf
ruled by such an one—if misery aqd wretched”-
are still to be brought upon tic cotir
■ 7 l m the
person of Martin Van Buren, we wish to wash
our hands of the sin. But why may not such a
patriot, statesman and soldier as Robert Y. Hayne
succeed over a man who has no claims on tbe
country for patriotic services rendered—whose
only object has been office and power? Have the
people become so corrupt—are they so blinded to
their better interest as to be led away by designing
men after this manner? We hope—we believe
not. And all we think necessary for the people of
the United States to do is, to weigh well the lofty
virtues and political character of Gen. Hayne—
scan well his principles and conduct, and then im
partially compare them with either of the other
candidates spoken of, and we have no fears of the
result, for we have yet son.- confidence left iu the
virtue and intelligence of the peopde.
The people of Georgia have over and over again
asserted through the ballot box that they did not
wish this man Martin Van Buren to rule over
them, aud the question is very often asked, to
whom will Georgia give her vote ? Some are in
clined to the opinion (but only those who desire
it,) that she will yet support the little Magician,—
others suppose that she will give her support to
Henry Clay; but we are of the opinion that nei
ther are correct—Georgia never will support eith
er. We would therefore say, let us go heart and
hand into the support of a Southern candidate,
and let that candidate be ROBERT Y. 11AYNE,
eveu if not another State in the whole Union goes
with us— and if the country must be again bur
tliened with the Prince of Kinderhook, or ruled
by Harry of the West, our skirts will be clear, and
“if Rome must fall, see are innocent."

The Washington Chronicle, in noticing the
result of the Georgia elections, uses the following
language:
“We have no confidence in some of the politi
cians on tbe State Rights ticket. In fact, wc are
convinced that the principles of the State Rights
party have been prostituted to the shameful pur
poses of promoting U. S. Bankisin.”
Our readers will be the more surprised at the
above remarks when we inform them that this pa
per claims to be a State Rights print, but gives its
hearty and cordial support to the Administratiou
of the Little Prince, and rejoices at every success
of the party attached to him, as well as laments
whenever that party is defeated. And they also
can be tbe better prepared to judge in whom the
most confidence is to be reposed, when wc iufonn
them that the editor of the Chronicle was one of
Mr- Van BuVeu’s most bitter opponents, when lie
was a candidate for the Presidency, and perhaps
■ used more exertions to defeat his election than any
othereditor in the Union. Yet this man has the
effrontery tp manifest a want of confidence in those
lie once could rejoice with, because they have
remained true to their principles while he has prov
ed recreau*.
Hon D. 11. Lewis's Opinion of Van Buren
and his Party. —“He is pledged to follow in the
•footsteps of au Admiuistratioo which has visited
‘on the country a proclamation, a foreebill, aud
‘an expunging process. As long as a single rem
nant of our gallant party is to be found, such
‘measures and each Administration will meet
‘the sternest opposition. With a party practising
‘such ! outrages on the Constitution and pop
ular liberty, we can have no common sympathy,
no political union." —fiiuttifer No. 1.
Such are the sentiments of Dixon H. Lewis
the great champion of nullification in Alabama,
while writing an able series ofessnvs in favor of
the Sub-treasury system. .Such 100 are the views
and feelings of most of those in this State who
advocate the same Administration measure. We
refer to? these views of Mr. Lew is and others,
at this time, because we should be pleased to
know now, that the South Carolina Sub-Treasury
party bus openly identified itsell with the I’an Bu*
ren administration with all its enormities, what the
gentlemen to whom we refer think of their Sub-
Treasury allies in South Carolina? So far have
this party committed themselves, that they have
we. prcccive, actually dropt the name of the State
Rights party—that name which has given them all
their fame and all their influence—and we see
the popular appeal of the party in Charleston,
addressed to the “Dci/iocrafULiidependent Treasu
ry party.” What will Mr. Lewis and other con
scientious supporters of the Sub-Treasury mea
sure, say to this recreancy of those with whom
they still act upon this subject? Whatever they
may think or say ©f this .natter, of one thing we
are well assured that whenever the affair is thor
oughly understood by the State Rights party of
the South, that a Sub-Treasury man aud a Van
Buren man are to be considered synonymous
terms, and that State Rights is to give place to De
moncratic Sub-Treasury ism, with the single ex
ception of South Carolina, the whole party will
cry shame upon such a manoeuvre; and whatev
er they /nay do or say in regard to the Sob-Trea
sury, will at least divorce a vin culo matrimonii.
Hi® parties so sacrelegiously united, and wash
their hands of all participation in the iniquities of
the most corrupt and faithless and hollow-hear

To the Citizens of Wtcwart;
Fellow Citizens:
I HAVE seen a handbill addressed to yoa by
Green B. Ball, in which I am pronounced for
tbe first time in my life, a “base caivounater and a
contemptible Liar." which necessarily compels me*
to appear before you and vindicate my character
against tills attempt on the part of • political as
pirant to uphold his sinking popvlarity, and rise
to future eminence by blastiuf and destroying my
reputation id standing among yoq. It may be
necessary, as the gentleman, (if indeed a man who
can use the language he haw both iw the election
eering campaign just past and in the band bill
sered to, can be called a gentleman) has notdono
so, to state the circumstances of the case which
took place between the honorable gentleman and
myself out of which this difficulty has grown—
they are these :—I am one of those, who have for
R number of years supported, ignorantly, what is
called the Union party, my eyes having however,
been opened to see my error, I have came out”
boldly, openly, ami independently and acknowl
edged the fact of my change. On the day before*
the election, (Sunday) Green B. Ball, one of tho
candidates of the Union party, came to me forth**
purpose of inducing me to alter my determination
and vote for those I have hitherto, much to my
sorrow, supported. He appealed to my grey hairs,
how long I had given my adherence to the Union'
doctrine, mentioned my religious profession, how
long I had been a Baptist—and asserted that non«>
but the Methodist voted on the other side, witU
some exceptions, and that they sprang from th»
tories, and that it was a great pity so good a Bap
tist and Union man as I was should turn over to ,
that side, and very politely invited me to go home
with him and he would convince me. This con
versation took place or a great portion of it whew
we were by ourselves, at least, if any person heard
it, they were engaged in an occupation which I
should desdaiu to follow, that of “ eve dripping.”
It is very true the gentleman's certifiers were pre
sent at the conclusion of the conversation but they
will not. I am confident, pretend to say that they
heard all that took place Wmcuu
candidate and myself oil that evening. I know
that I cannot prove what I have said by any one,
as Green Ball asked me off to have a conversation
with me, and being always on friendly terras with
the gentleman I obliged him in his request, when
the conversation ensued.
But fellow-citizens, this gentleman has endeav
ored to sliaka off the charge by publishing a cer
tificate of two of his friends, and by this mean*
b’anded me as a Calumniator and Liar —let the
gentlemen bo more explicit in their hngnago—
let them swpnr, if they will, that they heard all
the electioneering chat used by Gveeu B. Ball to
me, and then I may know how to meet them and
