jfHE REPUBLIC. derives its just powers, not from tlie au thority of Rulers, but from the consent of the Governed.” MACOS, DECEMBER j, isi 1. L OTTO N 'i Alt li liT. Since our last, the market has under gone no change. The amount on sale du ring the past week has not been large, ow ing probably to the bail stale of the wea ther. e quote to day 4 a 4 3-4. 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. licei m LIXTIUES. What say the young ladies of our city attending its various seminaries to giving Lyceum Lectures occasionally. While) : ploddjng up the bill of science, it would : be delightful to them as well as instruct ive to many, to strew' the way-side with the flowers, gathered from the blooming parterres of learning. The lessons of wis dom distilled from the lips of the young and beautiful, fall upon the heart as the dew upon Hermon. How inexhaustible too are the living waters of literature that How on deep and pure from the fountains of knowledge. Astronomy, chemistry, natural philosophy, geology, the adaptav lion of the sciences to the useful arts, tho , progressof learning, the progressive march lof the mind—all, all would enlighten, in terest, improve. We solicit the attention j | of both the young and the old to this sub-j ject. OM> IRONSIDES. When Gen. Jackson’s physician advis ed against his presiding at the great Con j venlion held in Nashville on account ol j his feeble health, his reply was, “1 am ve j ry old; 1 cannot stay here much longer; I, can do little or no good by remaining; soil ! I can do any good by presiding at that j I Convention of tlie Democracy, carry me) there! Place me in the Chair and I’ll die in my seat!” \\ hen ltegulus the old Roman General ; was defeated and carried in chains to ; Carthage, the Carthaginians subsequent ly sent him accompanied by ambassadors to Rome to treat for peace. Though lie well knew the fate that awaited him should 1 he return to Carthage without fulfilling his I commission he did not hesitate. He ad-! ' vised his countrymen to continue the war ; and in accordance with the oath he had ta j ken, returned to Carthage without delay. His inhuman vic tors cut of! his eye-brows,) j exposed him for some days to the heat of a | meridian sun,and afterwards confined him 1 ) in a barrel whose sides were every where: filled with large iron spikes, till he died in ihe greatest agonies! The ashes of such | heroes as Jackson and Regulus ought to! j repose in the same urn. Though their fates he different, still their patriotism is 1 the same. bi ds or hope. A friend of ours can show five likely , hoys, the eldest only six years old, if they! i tread in the footsteps of the pater finni/ius, we may set them down democrats. Be fore the youngest becomes of age, the) j Union will have a population of 35,000,- I 1 000 inhabitants, Georgia 4,000,000, and Texas about 1,000,000. Were it not li»r I’exas, we should soon be as densely pop ulous as Connecticut; and a flirty acre I I patch considered an immense possession for a poor man. During the recent difficulties and riots of tlie Chinese at Canton, the English took protection under the American flag, i What a proud reflection it is lor the Amer icans to know that our country is not only a refuge for the oppressed but a protec tion of the most powerful people in lur eign countries. Hereafter we may justly wear the ap pellation ol “ The I’iotector of Nations.” The recent rains have put our river in line boating condition. The stocks on j hand are full and select—the planter may now find ready sale lor every description of produce except Cotton, and that con ! tinues to be depressed. We have no hope jof its advancing much above the present | prices during the season. The surplus on hand in the following markets is beyond conception—estimated we believe at near ly two millions of oales. Another large crop land we shall see cotton selling in the American market at 2 and 3 ci ins the I pound. THE NEW PAVILION CIRCUS. Rice the celebrated “Jim Crow” com ■edian, w; s a jewel in his day. lie was pretty consideraole of a traveller too and ) is said to have amassed immense sums by | | his performances in Europe. But as great as he was in his line, the Minstrel Band consisting of Messrs. Carter, Bache lor, and Daniels, attached to the splendid Pavilion Circus of Messrs. Clayton & Bartlett, would knock the “putty out of him” in any mixed assemblage in the world. We would bet high on it and [show no disposition to hedge either. Master William the “pride of the arena” though a perfect child in age and appear ance, is a most intrepid rider. Ilis feats are certainly astonishing for one so infan tine in years as well as strength. The enterprising conductors perform to a letter what they promise in their bills— I “spare no pains to render those who may honor them with their patronage perfectly comfortable.” Theyexpect to re-visit our 1 | city next spring. In consequence of the death of the ) Senator from Johnston county, North Carolina, a special election was held there on the same day with the Presiden tial election, which resulted in the choice of a democratic Senator. This was a gain to that party, and produces a tic in the State Senate. In Davis and Martin counties, Indiana. Chapman, Dem., is elected to the Seriate, in place of Abner Davis, Dem., by a ma jority of 13. This leaves the Senate tied as before! Arkansas U. S. Senator. —On the Blh | inst. the legislature of Arkansas unanim iously elected Chester Ashley to the Sen ate of the United States, for the unexpir ‘ed term of Mr. Fulton, deceased. 8188 OE.IIOC RATIC MEETING.

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. Death of Murrell. —The Chattanooga Gazette of the 16th . inst., announces the i death, at Pikeville, Tenn., of the notorious John A. Murrell, whose name, as a “land pirate,” figured so frequently in the press some j'cars since, and who was recently discharged from the penitentiary. He (lied of consumption, and denied to the last moment of his life, that he was guilty of the principal charges against him. On the receipts of the returns confirm ing Mr. Polk’s election, Texas stock con sisting of Land Scrip, Government Bonds See. are said to have experienced a consi derable advance. Death of ft i/liam E. Ilaync, Esq. — We regret to announce the death, yester day morning, of William E.
