STATE INTER POSITION.
In good faith, and in accordance with
the resolutions of the Baltimore Conven
tion, as well as the ordained wishes of the
Democratic party of the United States,
James K. Poi.k will recommend to Con
! gress an immediate and essential modifica
tion of the existing tariff. With four-fifths
of the party there will be no flinching;
but in all probability, (as during the last
session) there will be a refractory portion
who may interpose to prevent the consum
mation of this great measure. In that
event what course will be left for the stern,
inflexible adherents of Constitutional lib
erty to pursue ?
\Ve need not hug “the flattering unc
tion to our soul,” that the Southern
Whigs will aid us by their votes. When
did au apostate ever repent? In 1832,
’33, and ’34, they put forth their whole
strength in the maintenance of the Jeffer
sonian doctrines of ’9B. They wore the
soubriquet of political zealots. Certainly
they had all the ardent zeal of patriots,
and those in whose recollections their
speeches and resolution are still fresh,
would never have charged them with the
watitol sincerity. Their political history,
however, (not to mince terms) is a Hein a
lie. They are now the uncompromising
advocates ol measures they have oppos
ed, and the eulogists of men they have
spurned. From such men, therefore, we
need not anticipate co-operation.
The hopesof the Republic are centered
in those Stales whose people being deeply
imbued with the doctrines of Stale inter
position, convinced of the inequality and
oppressiveness of tlie present tariff, and
resolved on maintaining the compromises!
ol the Constitution, wdi demand in such
terms as must bo irresistible, the restora
tion of the compromise.
On great occasions, the mawkish sen- ;
sibility of men who shrink from responsi
bility, ought not to be regarded. The
interests ot a great people, the perpetuity
ol a munificent Republic, and the preser
vation of the best written Constitution on
record, arc considerations higher and no
bler than the intrigues of a faction or the
cavillings of partisans.
These expressions are suggested by
the cautious timidity displayed by many
who are feaitulof approaching llie dis
cussion of a question that once involved
portentous excitements and alarming is
sues. Those who differ with us in opin
imi we hope will pardon us for not par-
IH ipniiiig in the same fears that they seem
n apprehend. We are State rights in
cur meed, and a convert to the remedy
•ailed Stale interposition. In 1832, in
common with thousands of those who now
call themselves Whigs of Georgia, we
M ill on our name as a volunteer to Caro
lina to aid that gallant State in the event
ol a collision with the General Govern
ment. We desire that our name should
l»c stereotyped on her records , for we believe
I bat her cause teas the cause of the Constitu
tion, and the exercise of the reinedv, a
light common to each State of the Con
federacy. Wo are not changed in regard
tu the principle one ‘ jot or tittle.’ The
wisdom of that old Spartan, Laiigdon
Clieves, it is true, has shed more light ol
a salutary nature upon the ‘ mode and
measure ot redress.’ The time has at
lust come, when (if it he necessary by the
continuance of the most unequal, unjust :
and oppressive law, ever submitted to by
a lice people that the remedy sliould be j
applied) that it may be done by ilie hear
ty co-operation of two or more States.
And this result springs from the firmness, !
eloquence, inflexibility, and Spartan cour
age, that in all times and through all sea
sons, have been displayed by the states
men and people of Carolina.
W bat, we ask, would have been the
present position of the States to the Gen
eral Government, but for the watchful
jealousy, the undaunted attitude, the un
wavering steadfastness of purpose’and the
self sacrificing patriotism ofCarolina’s.no
blest son. Federal rule would have be
come more stringent , the landmarks of the
Constitution more indefinite , barrier alter
barrier would have been passed, the cur
rent ot Executive encroachment grown
wider and stronger, until at last breaking
through and over the entrenchments of the
Constitution, this vast confederacy of sov
ereign States would have been merged in
to one formidable and central empire.
Charles I. first with the obstinacy of the
■Stuarts, plumed himself upon the infalli
bility of the maxim termed “the divine
right ot kings.” Before this dread Shib
boleth, popular rights were a mere sba
uow, Constitutions as fragile as straws,
a nd the privilegesofParliament the inouth
lr>gs of noisy demagogues. For thirty
years the people of England submitted to
hie most arbitrary impositions from the
crown. Laud exercised with a stern and
Unrelenting hand both civil and ecclesias
tical jurisdiction ; and tlie„Star Chamber,
the abominable instrument of his tyran
ny, became as formidable as the Courts of
'he Inquisition. The records of the
courts, and libraries of the lawyers were
arbitrarily withheld from the public scrur
l| ny; and even the manuscript collections
P P riv atc gentlemen, (as in the case of Sir
vobert Cotton,) were forcibly taken from
their owners by the Crown officers, for
rear that they might contain precedents at
war with the unauthorised assumptions ol
the Crown! 1
Such were some of the fruits resulting
from the unrestrained exercise of “the di
vine right of kings.” From the cringing
and humble language used by some ol
our citizens in this era of republican lib
erty, we are sometimes inclined to believe
that they come in a regular line of descent
from the Noys and Wimlebanks of the
seventeenth centurv.
“The rights of the Stairs,” cannot be
mentioned in their presence but down they
go before the “rights of the United States.” !
By this term they mean, (as Gov. Ham
mond expresses it in his late message to
the Legislature of South Carolina,) the
; “divine right of the Union.”
I -Now, we ask, what is the distinction
i between an arbitrary tax extorted by the
I authoiny of a King, and an unconstitulion
\al tine imposed by a Legislature ?
Where lies the difference between the
oppressions and the caprice of one man,
! ai,(i ihe misrule and exactions of a factious
and sectional majority? If it be high j
treason to resist ihc one, it is the same of-'
fence to oppose the other. And for flat
•hat the king may he shorn of iiis glory,
and the “divine right of the Union” lose
; somewhat the omnipotence of its charms, i
| we are to remain in statu quo, stupidly,
; basely, ruinously, indifferent to our rights'
and interests. \\ as no! the Inion lonn
!cd for valuable purposes? Are all laws
passed by a majority of Congress neces
j sarily constitutional ? Is the will of a
mere majority forever to be the law of
the land? Convinced of the unoonsl’tu
lionality and oppressiveness of the tariff;
are we to trust eternally for its repeal to
the mere utterance of our opinion that it
is so, and hope in this way to soften the
hearts of our oppressors and obtain an
answer to our prayers ? Can no power,'
! save that of a majority of Congress, rid
us of our task-masters ? Has the UNION'
ceased to be the shield of our liberties,!
and become the instrument of oppression?
j Are men forever to be branded with the
i charge of treason and disorganization be
j cause they assert that the acts of Con
[gress should be limited to a strict con-j
[ struct ion of the Constitution; and that
there are sovereign rights andremedies re
served to the Suites? Ought Thomas 1
i Jefferson to have (fled a traitor’s death for:
j boldly asserting the doctrines contained j
in the Kentucky resolutions of ’!>S ? Does j
the Democratic party intend in good faith:
to urge a repeal or modification of tlie 1
! present la rift' laws? In the event that a
j bill to that effect cannot he passed on ac-|
[count ol the coalition ol a refractory portion \
! of the party with the federalists, will they \
remain content and submit in silent acqui-j
esccnce to the result?
Will not Virginia, South Carolina, Geor
gia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Aikansas, acting upon the sage adinoni
lionsol Langdon Clieves. meet the crisis
by a concerted movement of sovereign
Stall's firmly, earnestly, and with inflexi
ble determination demanding the restora
tion ol the compromise by the constitu
tional forms of law, if Congress assents;
by t lie application of the proper remedy
under the reserved rights of the States it
she refuses ?
We arc not the advocates of premature
action. We ought to abide the develop
ment of the democratic measures, and
await the results of the proceedings of
tlie next Congress. As we before re
marked, we believe the democratic party
to be deeply penetrated with the injustice
ol the tat iff] and resolved upon its repeal
or modification. Mr. Folk owes his elec
tion to the tariff’ and Texas questions, and
he will move boldly forward to the adjust
ment of the one, and to the consummation
ol the other. We believe, however, that
there are many Wentworths in the camp
why would be satisfied with the trappings
of office, and whose patriotism will van
ish at the approach of patronage and pros
perity. We already observe premonito
ty symptoms that invariably precede the
abandonment of principle. That indi
cate a desire rather of elevation than repa
ration. But on the other hand we have
amongst us the incorruptible and iron-,
nerved Hampdens, Biynns r and Vanes,!
who, steadfast in their purpose, and in-;
domitable in their resolutions will rally |
around the Standard of Constitutional li-1
berty,repress the spirit of inovation, purge
the Government of its impurities, enforce
the principles of‘9B restore tlie salutary)
compromises of the Constitution, and pro
long for at least a series of years the exis
tence ofa Constitutional Union.
As the Whig press from Dan to Beer
! sheba have attempted to explain the why
and wherefore of Mr. Clay’s defeat, we
beg leave to give our opinion. It was,
we honestly believe, for the want of
enough votes. Quantum svfiicit.
Should we, however, discourse at large
; upon the actual cause of the great Whig’s
downfall, we should attribute it to three
reasons: Ist. No man will ever fill the
Executive chair who opposes a self-willed
and sectional opinion to the national feel
ings. The annexation of Texas is a na
tional question, and Mr. Clay has by this
time found that the explosion of the bomb
hurt somebody else besides Mr. Van Bu
ren. 2d. The tariff question. Inexora
ble opposition to the protective system
lies deep in the principles, interests, and
feelings of a large majority of the people
of the United States. The democracy of
the country are resolved to suffer no lon
ger the exactions of northern manufactur
ers; to build up with the fruits of their
hard earning, privileged classes; to re
main in eternal bondage to these worse
than Egyptian task-masters. I'erbum sat.
3d. The restricting, or rather the expung
ing the veto power from the Constitution.
Tlie devil incarnate is entitled to the hon
or of this last measure. We say when a
man gets beside himself, that “the devil
is in him.” Mr. Clay’s evil genius must
have been in the ascendant, when to grat
ify his vindictiveness towards Mr. Tvier,
I and to enforce his personal wishes upon!
Congress, he rashly put forth his hand,
like a second Uzza, upon the sacred char
ter of our liberties.
Either of these three causes would
have beat hem; combined they would have
crushed the strongest man or party that
ever existed in this country.

THE CONTEST IN TENNESSEE.
The contest in Tennessee has resulted
in a drawn battle. The majority is so ve
ry inconsiderable that it indicates nothing
as to the true political character of the
State. Under all the circumstances, the
result in Tennessee may well be claimed
as a decided triumph to the Democracy.—
We entered into the contest with a major
ity close upon lour thousand against us—
that majority had been obtained against
the democratic nominee fir the Presiden
cy in a contest li>r the office of Governor,
and it was obtained after a fiercely con
tested struggle. The State was regarded !
as firmly fixed in the whig faith. This
majority and this conviction that Tennes
see was a whig Stale, had both to be over- j
come. But more than this—no man could
have been nominated against whom the
opposition would have been so bitter and \
reckless as against Col. Polk. Having!
been for years the acknowledged head ol
the democratic party of Tennessee, the
whig aspirants all over the State had been
busily employed in poisoning the public
mind against him. His success in Ten
nessee would necessarily prostrate many
aspirants whose only hopes of promotion
were based upon bis defeat. This cir
cumstance explains the extraordinary ex
ertions made by the leaders—they fought
against one whose success would consign
themselves to private life—they (ought for
| themselves,and they fought recklessly and
, bitter. Under such circumstances to have
1 overcome the majority of nearly four thou
sand, and to have met and resisted suc
cessfully the extraordinary efforts of the
i whig leaders, is, and must be felt and re
garded, as a virtual democratic triumph.
It points to a triumph in our next contest
in Tennessee which will be decisive and
complete. Every democrat will enter
the field with confidence of success, and
with the lull, importance of consummating
the great victory of 1844 by the entire res
toration of Tennessee to her ancient dem
jocratic faith. We should have been grat
ified to add the thirteen electoral votes of
our State to the long list ot democratic
States, but the failure by a few votes to do
so, instead of causing any regrets or relax
ation, only shows us that victory is within
our reach, and will call forth the necessa
ry exertions to place Tennessee in her
true position.
