this period, when the controversy by which
. state has for years been distracted, is draw-
JJtoan issue of fearful import the Delegates
‘V Union Party, assembled at Columbia, m
t “ o ur solemn attention to the consideration of
'tbblc mo<k of providing for the public safety.
Thev solicit your co-operation m a common ef
fort to sustain the prosperity, and if possible, the
ne.iceofthe country. There is no I arm party in
south Carolina: we agree on every side that the
Tiriff should he resisted by all constitutional
means. So far there is tio difference of opinion;
butVe are divided as to tho character of the
means that should bo employed: and resistance
by nullification is the fatal source of bitterness and
[fiord.—lEven those who are in favor of nuliifi.
cation differ widely as to its character. It is rc
■oimnended as constitutional and peaceful, but
n| jpn explained even by its own advocates it as
wmc many different aspects, and furnishes an
■id omen of interminable strife. Regarded as a
®:ieefnL remedy, nullification resolves itself into
i mere lawsuit, and may be shortly dismissed as
ifiebic and eflicieut measure. For it has been
sisely provided that the constitution and the acts
if Congress made in pursuance thereof, shall be :
ie Supreme law of the land—and in a court sit-!
jr under the authority of the constitution, the I
nerits of the question could receive no aid from
• m high sounding terms of an act of nullification,
legarded as a forcible interposition of the Sove-
pn pswer of tho State, the objections to it lie
■arderper. It is not a mere infraction of the
■ons'j'.ution which, like an external injury, leaves
Hs general utility unimpared, but a radical and
■aui! error. The theory renders the constitution
■dead letter —and the practical enforcement of
He doctrine is the beginning of revolution. A
H'enmirut inadequate to its purposes-cannot, in '
He nature of things maintain its existence. The I
Heat end and aira of the constitution is to preserve f
He Union of the States, and by that means the
Hanony and prosperity affiyiountry. —The old !
H's'rderation proved to that end, be- j

Hh Geueral Clovernmeut the power to execute

■ act of ( ougress like tho Tariff, that power

■rat must follow the fate of the confederation.—
■isinvaia to argue against facts. The theory of
H'liScatiou falsifies the history of tho country. —
Hi-monstrous to contend that tho framers of the
Hnstitutiou did not invest tiio General Govern -
Hem with full power to execute their own laws,
■that without such a power Union can exist.
■Tin restriction of the State veto in its terms,
Hlars declared by the State to bo unconstilu-
Haal. is merely nominal. In practice it can

Humo- a law' unconstitutional, every other
Hr:? must have the same; and the constitution
Hi hare uo settled meaning, ft is vain to say
the power would not be lightly exercised.
Hit were a power which the States possess, if
H p ;,ht was acknowledged there would be no
Hrc diilicultv or reserve in the exercise of it
H"'. than under the confederation.— \ venera-
H>tirir the constitution may prevent infractions,
can have no application to tho exercise of
when it is once admitted to be constitution -
■ Acc , ling to the theory of nullification, any
■mher m States more than one fourth of the
Hide, may change the constitution, For in
HscaStau; should nullify an act which that ve
■ State, in common with all the others had for-
irly recognized as legitimate, or any law that j
really constitutional, unless three fourths con- i
rin favor of the law so nullified, the cunstitu-j
n will, to all intents and purposes, be changed,
i this power of a minority to alter the consti
on, is deduced from the express provision
it it shall not be altered by less than a majori
of three fourths. By the same rule, if tum
my had been required iu all amendments, the!
tstitntion might have been changed by any
8 ‘ tate. Such fallacy requires no exposure,
toustruction which destroys the text, and
to words an effect directly opposite to their
jraivi meaning, is too gross for argument.
■fh are the objections to nullification in theo
his not merely an infraction of the eou-
Ution, but a total abrogation of its authority.
IMi fyaebcc a dissolution of the Uuion is one
uefeast of ilia d*ro calamities which it must
rt on the country. A y.cession from the U
* might 'possibly take place in peace, and
and only impair our national defence, put our
in danger, and give us up as a prey
mreiga'influence with its usual consequences
domestic faction, and frequent wars. But;
“’Mitioii in practice must produce a direct
mion between the authorities of the (state and
* e of the jniion. It would place both parties
ler ihe necessity of a conflict, and eii'-iiaro the
!tn between inconsistent duties, adding to
disasters of war the cruelty of penal laws.—
ni ' l y he said by the advocates ot Nullification
1 >he state is cutitled to the unqualified alle
0c - of its citizens, and that the decrees of a
k v'uvoiition would supersede all other obli-
Without slopping to cxanlina the cor
'net' °t this doctrine, it may be conceded for
Purposes of argument, that if the State an -
"■'ties command us to withdraw our allegiance
*i -lie Gefici'nl Government, we are hound to
j. But Nullification professes to boa con
“in .a! remedy—and whilst it calls upon us
td-t tb’e eonstitutqd authorities, it commands
'licit obedience to the constitution of the I’ui-
States; c.m any thing less thau humiliation
1 defeat bo expected from such a ti3ue ofiu
sisumcies!
I' 1 -' if Nunification be considered not ns a cou
m'sd power, but as a h"rh prcTognti'< v ad
au exception justified by great emergencies, it
must in principle be the same as the right of re
sistauce which is recognized by the principle of
freedom, as a right paramount to all constitutions,
and is but an application to the state as a politi
cal body of the same principle w hich prevails in
every case between the people and the Govern
ment But as this exception is by its Very na
ture hevfM all law, it cannot be incorporated in
to the:r‘tie of tho constitution. The question in
all such cases is. w hether the necessity exists;
whether the magnitude of the evil is such as to
justity a resort to revolutionary force.
We cherish a sacred attachment to the consti
tution. and deplore aud deprecate the effects of
that rage aud passion, which in the correction ol
abuses .vouldjsweep away the inestimable institu
lions of freedom. If nullification was not fatal
to those institutions, there would be no dispute a
niong us, and when the vita! and essential inter
ests of the state are in jeopardy, we should think
no risk too great for their preservation in the last
resort. But it would little comport with patriot
ism or prudence, to incur all the calamities at
tendant on the destruction of social brdcr, if any
plan can be suggested" for a removal of the bur
thens of the Tariff (already considerably dimin
ished) by safer and more eligible means. We
believe that the times cal! loudly for the adoption
of such apian, and that no insuperable objections
stand in the way of a cordial cooperation of all
parlies. Let the southern states meet in conven
tion and deliberate, as well on the infraction of
their rights as on the mode and measure of redress.
The states of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, are e
qually concerned with us in all the consequences
of the Tariff. If the freedom and prosperity of
tho one are involved in the issue, those of all the
others are equally concerned.
Whatever advantages may be expected from
Nullification as a constitutional check, can only
be realised by a concurrence of the states that
are interested, and such a cooperation appears
to We clearly intimated by the Virginia Resolu
tions as the proper proceeding in such cases.
And it Nullification ha regarded as an appeal
to the principle ol resistance, it w ould be madness
to expect success without the support and coun
tenance of those States. If the States which
are injuriously affected by the Protective System,
concur in regarding the ordinary constitutional
checks as insufficient to restrain the General Gov
ernment within its proper sphere, such interposi
tion as they may advise, will be more effectual,
and productive of the smallest injury.
Even those who support the opinion that Nul
lification is a constitutional and peaceful remedy,
admit that it is only to tie resorted to in extreme
eases, and on the grounds of great public neces
sity. Add how' shall we be satisfied of this ne
cessity hut by the support and concurrence of
those States who are equally interested? Many
causes conspire to create an excitement in one
State out of all proportion to the magnitude of
the evil. But if the excitement is geueral, and
prevails as widely as the mischief extends, we
may be assured that it does not proceed from
prejudice or accidental causes, and that the crisis
has arrived for the intervention of an extraordi
nary remedy. It is due to the veneration in which
the Constitution ought to be held, to the respon
sibility which we are under for preserving it in
violate, that uo measure, involving in its conse
quences, so essentially the stability of the govern
ment, as Nullification confessedly docs, should
be undertaken, except by the concurrence of such
a number of the States as are invested with the
restraining or negative power in the case of a
mendments.
Such are the advantages of a Southern Con
vention. The objections to it may be easily dis
posed of. It is not unconstitutional. The states
tire prohibited from entering into treaties or con
federacies among themselves.—But a Southern
Convention will form no treaty or compact of a
ny kind.—Their object will lie to deliberate, to
enlighten and give effect to public opinion: Nor
will their deliberations be injurious to the Union.
If the States who are aggrieved by the Tariff
laws act in concert, their claims will in all proba
bility be conceded—-but if the very worst that can
be imagined should happen, anti their demands
be capriciously rejected, it will be for t!*i several
States and not for the Convention to act ou the
subject. The advice of tke Convention will no
doubt have great weight, bet it will be a saluta
ry influence not a legal control.
In the spirit of amity we make this appeal to
our fellow citizens. The glorious inheritance of
freedom is at stake. The same brnv which de
stroys the Union, levels to the ground the defen
ces of liberty. Under the Federal constitution
we have enjoyed all, which the patriots of the
i American Revolution desired to see. Our cottn
j try has increased in riches, in knowledge and in
| honor. And those who offered up their lives to
; the cause of America, w ould have elosed their
eyes in peace, if they could have been blessed
1 with a vision of that future whifcti we have en
i joyed. The happiness of our cjtikens has form
ed tho admiration of the wise atel] good; and now
| when the scene is changed, ansdiscontents cre
| ated by the acts of Government, have brought
’ the constitution itself into danger, it depends on
j the moderation and w isdom of the sons of liberty,
to repay in some degree the debt of gratitude, by
I transmitting the same inheritance to their poster
! ity.

cate Nullification as fouuded on principles sub
versive of the coustitutiou, we would willingly

2. Resolved, That in case of the concurrence
of the saTCs of Virginia, Nortli Carolina, Geer
gia, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, this
convention do earnestly recommend to the citi-!
zens of the said states in convention, to take in

to adopt, abide by, and pursue such measures iu

Our ESccliou,
After an earnest, but rather friendly contest
between the former political parties, has at
length terminated in a glorious, and decided
victory of the State Rights Democratic Re

The canvass was animated, spirited and
peaceable—aud the resuit augurs well for the
general and permanent establishment of those
principles that have been training ground in
Bibb county every year, and to tint pro;roga
tion of which, we have lent our humble and
untiring aid.

Although we have and shall continue to
differ with Mr. Calhoun, upon many subjects
of cardinal interest, it would be injustice to
withold from his letter an expression of do.
cidcd approbation. It is.an able and lucid
exposition of the relative rights o! the State
and General Government,and goes incontesjU*
bly to prove, “that a state has a right in her
sovereign capacity, in Convention, to declare
an unconstitutional act of Congress to he null
and void, and that such declarations would
be Obligatory on her citizens—as highly so,
as the constitution itself, and conclusive a
gainst the General Government.which would
have no right to enforce its construction of its
powers against that of the State. 1
We think it impossible that this document
can he studied,by any man, at all familiar with
the subject, and who clears his mind from the
mists of prejudice, without arriving at the
conviction that State Resistance to an uncon
stitutional act of Congress is a rightful reme
dy, a peaceful remedy, and only one by the
instrumentality of which the Union xan he
(reserved: that it is not -ptiy a peaceful

can tnise between the general and state au

wilfulness on the part of the latter, which
will, of coarse, be avoided. Wo earnestly
hope a copy of the document will soon be

UNFORTUNATE RALEIGH ! f
M e stop tiie Press to announce the occur
rence of another calamitous tire, w hich has
again laid waste a considerable portion of the
business part of our devoted City. The alarm
was given a bout '2 o’clock this morning, when
the lire was discovered hi the building at the
corner of Fayetteville and Hargett Streets,
owned by Richard Smith Esq, and occupied
by himself as a Merchant, and by Mr M.
Hartford, I'ailor. As but a few bouts have
elapsed since tho fire wits checked, it is not
certainly ascertained iri which division of
the house it originated, but he belief is
general that it was the result of accident.
The fire had attained such mastery, before
the citizens could be collected, that it was
impossible, either by blowing up houses,or
the use of our small Engine, to check its
progress until evkhy building on the main
fcHcet, between the corner above mentioned
and the Newborn Bank, was entirely destroy
ed. The Bank itself was only saved by th*
counsel and intrepidity of a resolute and de
termined few.
The individual loss is very great, though
by firth*' greatest sufferer is Mr. Richard
Smith. His loss in money, bonds, goods and
houses, cannot be less than $31),000.

For the Macon Advertiser.
Mr, Editor—l have noticed in the papers
an account of a meeting in Twiggs, at which
the Tariff’Question was discussed, j
been somewhat surprised at the course Col.
Cuthbcrt saw proper to pursue on that occa
sion, He tnay have been misrepresented or
misunderstood, yet l can hardly believe this j
to be the case, since the report of that tran
saction comes from various creditable so irees.
Isay I have been surprised, not that tlisinge
nous—nay, dishonest conduct is either novel
or surprising in political warfare noty-a-dnys,
since the field has become so infested with
Demagogues and Boobies—yeti was not pre
pared to see Col, Cutiibert lending himselfto
their aid however much he might desire the
success of his party. The conduct to which
I particularly refer, was, his reading the De
claration of Independence to prove that the
oppressions which the South suffer from the
legislation of Congress bear no similitude to j
the causes w hich impelled our fathers, to re
sistance against the British parliament. Now, I
1 the more regret such dishonesty should find !
countenance from Col. Cuthbcrt inasmuch asj
he is a gentleman of intelligence and sins a
gainst light and knowledge, and is further-,
more a ripe scholar arid a gentleman in all
the private relations ol life: if such men de
'eivc and betray the people who can they
L st or rather who will they trust? Even vir
1 tuo j i *self will he brought into disrepute.
; *-■°*Cmhbert knows the history of hiscoun-
p r ? nows full well that taxation and tax
■ \ a J} o . n il or/ was the cause that impelled the
> Colonies to ,> s j ß tnnce —he knows that the af
fection of t I*^'To) on ios for the mother coun*
, was ncvCT sponger than at the time when
that resistance Cv . as j m j ge Mur
hid! in bis life of V Nhin „ ton> rpmarks _ (hey
had just gone through the French war with
old England and hud shared largely in ]<t,r
glory and her triumph—they boasted of being
part and parcel of the freest, most powerful &
enlightened empire- th.it evec existed,muljyet
as a matter solely of principle, they resisted
the “S amp Act” and compelled parliament
with all its power to repeal that Act—Col.
Cuthbert knows that the first Congress that
overseas held in America, viz. the one held
in 1 <63 at New . ork, was to devise the prop
er mode of resistance to the Stamp Act—he
knows that the Hesolution of the Legislature
oi Massachusetts which proposed that Con
gress to the other Colonics . xpressed its pur
pose thus*—"To consult together on the pres
ent circumstances of the Colonies, and on the
difficulties in which tljey arc and must be re
duce by the operation of the Acts of parlia
ment for levying taxes on t hem.” *
Col. Cuthbert knows that the Volunteer
Corps which formed itseli m Connecticut an /
New Y ork ten years before the revolution
commenced, styling themselves—- “Thr Sons
of Liberty” —ami pledging themselves to
inarch to any part of the Continent to v pr< vent
by force the Stamp Act being carried into op
eration, was composed of the purist patriots
ot that age, and was universally approve* a
inong the Whig*
Alter parliament had been forced to yield
: and repeal the Stamp Act, and Sir Robert
W alpole had acknowledged that he had not
the courage to impose taxes on the Colonies,
Charles Townhead’s boasted Bill for laying
impost duties “on tea, glass, paper, and ]min
ters colours" was introduced and passed almost
without opposition, by which they hoped that
the Colonies could he made to pay taxes with
out being aware of it—but, how did the Col
onies receive tins Bill, imposing the ino-t
trilling tax only on four Articles of consump
ton ? Let Judge Marshall in his life of
Washington answt r—“ They perceived plain
ly —what ?—that they were oppressed by
parliament ?—no—but that the CLAIM to tmr
America was revived and they determined ,”
to do what ? —petition, or remonstrate or sub
mit—being afraid of the power of England 1
—no —but “they determined to oppose it with
ah the means in their power." —Yes immortal
men ! you did oppose it with your “ limited
means”— nobly, heroically —worthily of the
best days of Greece—worthily of all that hu
manity can door dare—enough to cover your
degenerate sons with shame and confusion of
tace, lor their abandonment of l : erty—ilnir
tame cowardice! •
But Mr. Editor, I must drop the Subject,
for whenever 1 recur to it my feelings become
too much excited for dispassionate discussion,
and passion should have nothing to do with
if. I wiHclose bv saying that Col. Cuthbert
knows that the several grievances set forth in
tlie Declaration of Independence were assign
ed as sufficient causes for the Separation of
the Colonics from England, not as causes for
resistance that had commenced several years
before, and most of the causes of Separation.
