In examining this point, we • t not to forget, that the government wh all its Departments, judicial as well ’ others,is administered by delegated and' sponsible agents; and that the power which L//,, rontrofs ultimately all the movements is , n t in the agents but those who elect or ap ltf t \ m . r To understand then its real character, and what would be the action of . system in any supposable case, we must “so our view from the more agents, to this ju"r'i controlling power which finally impels kerv movement of the machine. Bv doing 9 we shall find all under the control of the “i’ll of a majority, compounded of the will if a majority, of the States, taken as corpo ate bodies, and the majority of the people ,ftlie States estimated in federal numbers.— Tiiese united constitute the real and final , aff cr, which impels and directs the move ttcntsoftlieGener.il Government. The ma ordv of the States cFet the majority of the Senate; of the peojije of the States, that of Hie House of Representatives; the two uni ;cd, tlr- President; and the President and a najority of the Senate appoint the Judges; i majority of whom, and a majority of the Senate and the House wi'h the President, re fill-exercise all of the powers of the Govern- 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 tect, tothc will of the very majority, against which the protection was intended. Nor will the teniae by which Judges hold their office, however valuable the provision in many oth er respects, materially varv the case. Its 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.— it possible, that reason could settle a question where the passion and interests of men are concerned, this point would have tarn long since settled forever, hv the State i Virginia. 'Pile report of her Legislature, to which I have already referred, has really, ia my opinion, placed it beyond controversy. Speaking in reference to this subject it says, ‘■t has been objected” (to the right of a State interpose for the protection of her reserved rig its) that the Judicial authority is to bore pric i, as the sole expositor of the Constitu ent; ea tins obj iction it might be observed, first, thut there may be instances of usurped P w r S whi -h the forms of the Constitution con! I never draw within the control of the Judicial Department; secondly, that if the decisionof the Judiciary be raised above tho sovereign parties to the Constitution, the tle cisions of the other departments, not carried 1 the forms of the Constitution before the Judiciary, must be equally authoritative, and f rd with the decision of that Department.— l ut proper answer to the objection is, that j :o r 'solution of the General Assembly ro hes to those great and extraordinary cases, I •> "ilich all of the forms of the Constitution II } prove ineffectual against infraction dan fp roiis to the essential rights of the parties to 1 • luc resolution supposes, that dangerous P n 'i rsnot delegated, may not only be usur- I ■ • ind executed by the other Departments, " ' I 1 * fiio Judicial Department may also i v wise, or sanction dangerous powers bc- Jo. >u, h" grant of the Constitution, and con |Sequ, that the ultimate right of the par testrt Consti ution to judge, whether the Compact * !as dangerously violated, must to v '°lations hv one delegated author as well i by another—by the Judiciary, well as by i Executive or Legislative.” Against tTvis e conclusive arguments, as I’iey septu to me objected, that if one party has the riidit i 0 judge of infractions of Constitution, so h. *' ,e other, and that r °iise<picntly in eases 0 . 4 contested powers bc '""n a State and the G eneral Government, ra! ’h would have aright to Maintain its opin ’°" as is the ease wlvn powers <lif h r 1,1 ‘lie construction o." troatk N or compacts I K tlial of course, it would con.'C to be a '"' ;rc fijestion of force, Tbo error is in the "sumption, that the General Guivernniont is a L ■ 'he Constitutional CotTi v na cL T lie 1 1 has been shewn, formed the com-j J . T,,, ‘ T to tlie authority of Chief Justice Mar rJ,M L I CMR of Jonathan Robbins. I have to refer to the speech an<4 AND AGRICULTURAL AM) MERCANTILE INTELLIGENCER. 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. MACON. _ Fi'itl.tv, Angiist Its, 18S1. 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.
