went, with the exception of the cases where
the constitution requires a greater number
than a majority. The judges are, in fact, as
truly the Judicial Representatives of this uni
ted majority as the majority of Congress itself,
or the President, is its legislative, or execu
tive representative; and to confide the power
tc tie" Judiciary to determine finally and con
clusively, what powers are delegated, and
what reserved, would be in reality to confide
it to the majority, whose agents they are, and
by who a they can be controlled in various
wavs; and, of course, to subject (against the
fundamental principle of our system, and all
sound noiitical reasoning,) the reserved pow
ers of the States, with all of the local and pe
culiar interests, they were intended to pro

which the protection was intended. Nor will
the teniae by which Judges hold their office,
however valuable the provision in many oth

highest possible effect would he to retard and
oak finally to resist, the will of a dominant
majority.
But it is useless to multiply arguments.—

question where the passion and interests of
men are concerned, this point would have
tarn long since settled forever, hv the State

to which I have already referred, has really,

pact, acting as sovereign and independent
Communities. The General Government is
but its creature f and tho’ in reality a govern
moiit with all the rights and authority which
belong to any other government, wiuiin the
orboi its powers, it is, nevertheless, a gov
ernment emanating from a compact between
sovereigns, and partaking in its nature and
ouject, of the character of a joint commission,
appointed to superintend and administer the
interests in which all are jointly concerned,
hut having, beyond its proper sphere, no more
power, than if it did not exist. To deny 7 this
would be to deny the most incontestible facts,
and the clearest conclusions ; while to ac
knowledge its truth is to destroy utterly the
objection, that the appeal would be to force,
in the case supposed. For if each party has
a right to judge, then under our system of
government, the final cognizance of a ques
tion oi contested power would he in the
States, and not in the General Government.
It would be the duty of the letter, as in all
similar cases of a contest between one or
more ofthe principals and a joint commission
or agency, to refer the contest to the princi
pals themselves. Such are the plain dictates
of reason and analogy both. On no sound
principle can the agents have a right to final
cognizance, as against the principals, much
less to use force against them, to maintain
their construction of their powers. Such a
right would he monstrous; and lias never,
heretofore, been claimed in similar cases.
That the doctrine is applicable to the case
of a contested power bet ween the States and
the General Government, we have the au
thority not only of reason and analogy, but of
the distinguished statesman already referred
to. Mr. Jeff rson, at a late period of his life,
after long experience and mature reflection,
says, “With respect to our State and Federal
Governments, I do not think their relations
are correctly understood by foreigners. They
suppose the former subordinate to the latter.
This is not the case. They are co-ordinate
departments of one simple and integral whole.
But you may ask if the two departments
should claim each the same subject of power,
where is the umpire to decide between them?
In cases of little urgency or importance, the
prudence of both parties will keep them aloof
from the questionable ground ; but if it can
neither be avoided nor compromised, a con
vention of the States must he called, to as
cribe the doubtful pow er to that department
which they may think best.” It is thus that
our Constitution by authorizing amendments,
and by prescribing the authority and mode of
making them, has by a simple contrivance,
with its characteristic wisdom, provided a
power which in the last resort, supercedes
effectually the necessity, and even the pretext
for force ; a power to which none can fairly
object; with which the interests of al? are
safe ; which can definitely close all contro
versies in the only effectual mode, by freeing
the compact of every defect and uncertainty,
by an amendine.H of the instrument itself.—
It is impossible, for human wisdom, in a sys
tem like ours, to devise another mode which
shall be safe and effectual, and at the same
time consistent w ith what are the relations
and acknowledged powers of the two great
departments of our government. It gives a
beauty and security peculiar to our system,
which, if duly appreciated, will transmit its
blessings to the remotest generations; hut if
not, our splendid anticipation of the future
will prove but an empty dream. Stripped of
all its covering, and the naked question is,
whether ours is a federal or a consolidated
government; a constitutional or absolute one;
a government resting ultimately on the solid
basis of the sovereignty of the States, or on
the unrestrained will of a majoiity ; a form
of government, ns in all other unlimited ones,
in which injustice and violence, and force
must finally prevail. Let it never he forgot
ten that where the majority rullts, the minority
is the subject ; and that if we should absurdly
attribute to the former, the exclusive right of
constructing the Constitution, there would be
in fact between the sovereign and subject,
under such a government, no Constitution;
or at least nothing deserving the name, or
seving the legitimate object of so sacred an
instrument.
How the States are to exercise this high
power of interposition which constitutes so
essential a portion of their reserved rights
that, it cannot be delegated without an entire
surrender of their sovereignty, and convert
ing our system from a federal into a consoli
dated government, is a question, that the
States only are competent to determine. The
arguments which prove that they possess the
power, equally prove tlwit they are in the
language of Jefferson '■'the right fid judges of
the mode and measure of redress." But the
spirit of forbearance, ns well as tho nature of
the right itself, forbids a recourse to it, ex
cept incases of dangerous infractions of the
Constitution ; and tlien only in the last resort,
when all reasonable hope of relief, (roni the
ordinary action of the government, has fail
ed ; when if the right to interpose did not
exist, the alternative would be submission and
oppression on one side, or resistance by force
on the other. That our system should afford,
in such extreme cases, an intermediate point
between those dire alternatives, by which the
government may he brought to a pause, and
thereby an interval obtained to compromise
differences, or, if impracticable, be coinpr lied
to submit the question to a constitutional ad
justment, thro’an appeal to the States them
selves, is an evidence pf its high widom ; an
element not, as is supposed by some, of weak
ness, but of strength ; not of anarchy or rev
olution, but of peace and safety. Its general
recognition mould of itself in a great measure,
if not altogether, signer cede the necessity of its
exercise, by impressing on the movements of
the government, that moderation and justice so
essential to harmony and peace, in a country
of such a vast extent, and diversity of interests
as ours ; und would, if controversy should
come, turn the resentment of tho aggrieved,
<rom the system to those who had abused its
' powers, (a poii t all important,) and cause
’ (pent to seek redress, not in revolution or
ore-throw, but in reformation. It is in fact,
nrooer’v understood, a substitute where the
\,n ' ‘; i#v -onld be force, tending to prevent
t-nh ,r\ to correct peaceably, the ah-
U "' ;■ V " all political systems arc ha-
without correction, must finally etui in a gen
eral catastrophe.
1 hare now said what I intended in refer
ence to the abstract question of the relation of
the States to the General Government, and
would here conclude, did I not believe that a
more general statement on an abstract ques
tion, without including that which may have
caused its agitation, would be considered hv
many imperfect, and unsatisfactory. Feeling
that such would be justly the case, I am com
pelled, relur tantly, to touqh on the Tariff, so
far, at least, as may be necessary to illustrate
the opinions which I have already advanced.
Anxious, however, to intrude as little as
possible, on the public attention, 1 will be
as brief as possible, and with that view, will,
as far as may be consistent w ith my object,
avoid all debateable topics.
To be Concluded in our next.

Vv e have this week commenced the publication
of “ Mr. Calhoun’s sentiments,” and when we
shall have gone through w ith them, will make up
our verdict, and publish it.
TO CORRESPONDENTS. '
We regret that “an Observer” did not reach us
earlier than this morning. The late hour, and a
previous engagement of all the room in our co
lumns, excludes him; but as it is on the other
side of the question, to that which has been writ
ten on in our paper, (we allude to Rail Roads,)
we think it butffair, and shall give him a place on
Tuesday. In the mean time, we should like to
receive “ Observer’s” expressed permission to
make some alterations, which would not at all
alter the sense, nor the substance ofthe article.
(£T The Superior Court for the Flint Circuit,ad
journed in this place on Saturday last, according
to the limitation of the Term. So much unfinish
ed husiness remained on hand, it was deemed ne
cessary to call an adjourned Court for this county,
which will convene on the sth Monday in this
mouth.
THE SEASON.
The crops throughout this section of country,
are represented to be in the most flourishing and
luxuriant condition. From present indications, it
is presumed that the iudustry of our Planters will
bo more generally and abundantly rewarded in
the production of their cotton, corn, and wheat,
than they have been at any former period.
The almost exclusive devotion which lias hith
erto been paid to the culture of cotton, does not at
present, so much characterize the agricultural op
erations of tire country. And this is owing to the
fact, that the planters begin to perceive that by
diversifying in a greater degree, and increasing
the proportions of their crops of grain, they'will
put the demand for those articles on a basis of
greater equality, apd secure to themselves more
comfort at home, and a better and' safer market
than they have hitherto been able to command.—
It is no\y apparent to them that they can grow
their corn and w heat, and raise their stock much
cheaper than they can buy them; and that by avoid
ing a destructive competition in the cultivation of
cotton, they will realize more upon their labor by
the advanced value which a reduced quantity must
ccrasicn in the demand for the article. We are
glad to see this spirit and policy at last manifest,
ing itself. Let it be fostered, and it will not only
add to the wealth and comfort of the planter, but
supercede the necessity of his entering into those
pecuniary engagements, which too often brings
his plantation under the hammer of the Sheriff.
Since the infancy of Southern Agriculture, op
to the present period, our staple products have
fluctuated considerably. If we recollect aright,
Indigo was the first leading staple that attracted
the attention of our Agriculturists— Rice followed
next —then, Tobacco —and now Cotton and Sugar
usurp the market. They, too, in their turn, will,
probably at no distant day be compelled to yield
supremacy to the Grape and Silk Worm. The
capacity of our climate to sustain both Iras been
fairly tested. Wine and Silk as good as the old
countries can produce, have already been exhib
ited in our markets. But, however fluctuating or
pefruanent our great staples may be, or have been,
it is not, we think the interest of our planters to
seize upon he leading one, and to the exclusion of
others, work it to death. They should at least ap
propriate an ample part of their soil and labor to
the production of articles for their family and plan
tation consumption. Let them do this, and they
will then, as we have already intimated, keep
clear of contracting useless debts, live more hap
pily in their families, and at the end of the year be
enabled to layup something snug for a rainy day.
MK. II VYM2S.
We dislike to see in the guberuotarial canvass
which is now going on, the little courtesy which
some of our prints extend towards this gentleman.
We do not mean by this observation that the po
litical conduct of Mr. Haynes, or Mr. Any-body
else, should be exempt from a free and full investi
gation—it is an ordeal, and a fiery one too, through
which ail aspirants after popular favor, must and
ought to go. But we do say, that it is unfair and
unjust to make a candidate assume, in the public
estimation a character which does not belong to
him. It is well known that Mr. Haynes is not
ourchoice —but“give unto Ctesar the things which
are Caesar's.” To all acquainted with our polit.
ical history, it is'matter of notoriety that Mr. H.
iias “done the State somo service”—by all ac
quainted with him, at home, (in his own county,)
he is respected as an urbane, correct, and benevo.
lent gentleman —and to all who know him abroad ,
he is known as a spirited, zealous, and independ
ent politician. Certainly, such qualifications
should eutitle him, wo think, to a fair and honor
able canvas.
Since writing the above, the Milledgeville
papers furnish “an address to the people of Geor
gia” from “Thomas Haynes, Ksq. of Hancock’
thp gentleman who is a candidate for Governor;
in which lie shews tho basenets and low conduct
ef the Athenian and of others, to injure him, b y the
course to which wc have referred above. The ar
ticle is to o long, and came to us too late for to
day's paper: Wo extract apart of it, which fur
nishos Mr. ILiy ne*s “ijoctriues’’ or views of cer
tain important subjects. Tl.es. Haynes is still a
candidate for Governor, the wickedness ofthe A
theuian to the contrary notwithstanding. In our
next we will give the whole of it; and some stric
tures in connection with it and tho too frequent li
cense and abusA of the Press.
Extract from the Jtddress.
All that I ask of my adversaries is fur and man
ly opposition. Let thqn controvert my policy,
let them attack my political doctrines, and I have
nothing to fear. I have no concealment for the
one or the other —no, “I shun no question and I
wear no in tsk.”
And that no doubt may exist on the public mind,
I now will present some tangible points in rela
tion to my creed.
I mantain, Ist. that the people are capable of
self government, by which I mean, that they are
not only capable of managing and conducting
their private and domestic concerns, but that they
possess in an eminent degree, the capacity of es
tablishing and maintaining the wisest and most
salutary political institutions.
“idly. That all Sovereignty resides in the people
—that the government belongs to tho people —
and that whatever they will to be done, oualit to
be done.
3dly, That no good government can exist,
which is not administered in accordance with pub
lic opinion.
4thly. That the representative is not the ruler
ofthe people, but their servant, and is bound to
obey their commands.
sthly. That public opinion having declared in
favor of a survey and occupancy ot'onr Cherokee
lands without reserves to the State, the next le
gislature ought tr carry the measure into effect.
6thly. That the same tribunal having dec'ared
itself opposed to the Penitentiary system, it ought,
to he abolished,,
7thly. That our taxes and our representation in
the legislature ought both to be reduced.
A few words upon the relative powers of the
federal and state governments, and I have done.
I mantain that the federal government cannot
constitutionally exercise any other powers, than
those which are specially delegated to it, by the
states in the federal constitution, and that all the
powers not so delegated arc reserved to the States
or the people. That the federal government is
sovereign to the extent of their reserved powers.
That in controversies between the states and
the federal government, the proper remedies are
peaceful constitutional remedies.
That “The federal union must be preserved”—
and whilst I trust, I would be among the fore
most to encounter peril for its preservation, so I
would he among the last to sit coolly down and
calculate its value. *
Thus have I endeavored to hold out brief
ly some of the lending articles of my political
faith—and deeming them fair and legitimate sub
jects of discussion, I now challenge the array of
my adversaries to come out and controvert them.
Respectfully your fellow-citizen,
T. HAYNES.

Ol' 1' LK for sale the largest and most complete
assortmentofE ARTIIEN WARE, GLASS,
CHINA, Plain and Gilt LOOKING-GLASSES,
&c. which the New York market will afford,
composing every style and variety of the newest
patterns. They return their most cordial thanks
to their friends in the Southern States, for their
support in the persecution now carrying on agauret
them, for their ref usal to join a combination in
fixing one tariff of prices for Crockery, through
out the trade. It is mainly attributable to tlreln
llucnce of our Southern friends that we have been
enabled to survive thus for, in this most trying
situation; exposed to the combined influence, and
capital of the whole trade, endeavoring to effect
our ruin and expulsiou from business. We pledge
ourselves to our friends to give them every satis
faction in our power as regards the quality of our
goods, the excellence of our packers ami the low
ness of our prices for cash or city acceptances!
and in return solicit from them a continuance of
their patronage, and particularly request those
who have influence with their friends to exert it
in our behalf, as we trust the cause is one they
are all interested in and much benefit will acme
to us from their friendly acts in this way. It has
been saiil, the Combination was broken up. As
it regards prices, this is true, and all, we think,
friends or foes will allow that we have effected this
change; hut we do asure our friends, that at no
period since w e commenced our system of un
shackled prices were we in greater Want of as
sistance than afcthe present moment. This com
bination of men are leaving no means untried for
effecting our ruin, that they may revive the old
system ; our credit and character arc assailed in
every shape, our importations waylaid and stop
ped in every instance where threats are sufficient
to intimidate the manufactures from supplying
us:—ill fine, no vexation or trouble which the
malice of men could devise has been neglected in
thid struggle to subvluo us. We once more toft
upon every friend of a Iree trade to eome tsp to
our support, and pledge ourselves to give them no
cause to repent of lluir liberality.
