THE DEMOCRA ,
( OLVMIWS , FHWJY, Hit 4, 18S1.
The most of Colonel Troup’s admirers in this
State havo denied tliat his letter to the Soutli
Carolina Committee, contained-Ilie least sane,
tjon of the doctrine of A'uUj'toiUo i. They have
been aware that, that ■ dious doctrine would not
bo supported by the people of this State; and
they have therefore declared that .hose w ho char
ged him with inanlaining it were reckless -lan
derers. A late pa; e , however, published f> >ur
’ nffighb* rliood, comes out . Jlotfoohtl, with a bold
assertion of tho doctrine, and a labored effort to
show that Coi Troup's letter was but a reitera
tion of the principles contained ... our decora
tion of independence. Ilut even admitting that
it is so, to wlial conclusion docs that fact lead?
The Declaration of Independence was an argu-
ment to show the necessity of throwing off tho
established government of ihe country; if Col.
Troup has laid h >ld of the same general princip
les, is it for the osine purpose—viz. for the pur
pose of subverting the government? Hut there
are >rcnora! principles, which in the abstract are
correct; but yet which are wholly wrong, when
applied to particular circumstances. Thus the
gene.al principle asserted by Jefferson, ‘-That
when any form of government becomes de
structive, vc. it is tho ricl.t of the people to alter
or abolish it"—was perfectly correct, when ap
plied by !**'«, to the tyranny of Great Britain and
the right of the colonies to resistance; yet the
same sentiment became almost sacrilege when
quoted by Col. Troup, for tho purpose of encour
aging the Nullifiers to overthrow the government
of the United States. A whole people have un-
doubtedly the right to mould their government at
pleasure; they have a light to build up and pulj
down; they have a light to make Constitutions,
and to abrogate them. Yet tho md.virtual or the
taction, who would undertake to subvert the gov
ernment of their country, vvhould bo justly
chargeable with all the evils which they would
entail upon the land; the evils if civil war, tho
miseries of sacked citiesand plundered districts;
tho crimes of a lawless soldiery amid a partisan
warfare, —might justly be laid to their door.—
Now in the controversy between tho colonies and
Great Britain, Jefferson spoke in behalf of a uni
ted and suffering people. In tho other case, Col.
Troup speaks for himself, and a few factious dem
ag .guos. The difference in the circumstances of
the parties makes a vast difference in the- itiplica
tion of principles
But in asserting that Col Troup’s letter is but
a reiteration of the principles of the declaration
of independence it seems to us that our friends
havo rushed i to a difficulty, from which there
is no easy of receding. The Declaration
of Independence contains au enumeration ot tho
rights of tho people, in the absence of all govern
ment; when t..c elements of powor had been re
solved into first principles, and before they had
been gathered up, and placed in new hands; they
are not the rights derived from any constitution
—but are the anxiomn upon which constitutions
should be founded; if therefore these principles
uro current ill tho hnn sos Cos! Troup and the
Nullifiers, it can only vest in thorn the right of
overthrowing the constitution; instead of privi
leges to be enjoyed nnder-if.
But although tho declaration of Independence,
as a whole was a most excellent state paper; and
i as an argument,admirably well adapted to the cir
i cumstances, and for the purpose, which called it
forth, yet >vo have never considered it, as approa
ching in perfection to the works inspiration
There is in it much of true political wisdom, bold
ly and clearly expresed; and yet the first sen
tence contains a fallacy, and a proposition to which
no southerner is likely to assent. Tho slightest
examination of the relative situations of men,
cannot but convince us that mankind are not born
equal; wo arc naturally and constitutionally end j\v
ed with different powrs capacities,which neither
art nor education can equalize And that all have
inalienable right t > liberty, is contradicted by our
laws and the actual condition of our societi. Tho
argumen can only be ti uo in a limited sense, and
il" universally applied, without reference to time
and circumstance, it would lead to dangerous .r
--ror,andtho breaking asunder of all the lionds of
civilized society.
Editoi ■ may talk about a bloodless revolution;
about subverting our government peaceably- and
quietly. But the patriot, connoi he deceived.—
The dissolution of our government; come when
jt rimy, will come in the train of anarchy and war,
an-idst tears and blood. There are those in this
con try, even in this stnte, who look upon the in
stitutions of Washington and his contemporary
sages, as something worth preserving; who have
lived in freedom, in prosperity and peace, under
their shadow; and who desire to transmit them,
unimpaired to their chidrcn Such will not per
mit their rich inheritance to be torn from them
without a st uggle.
! The Govemors's Election. —The Federal U
nion pretends not to know that Mr Lumpkin will
bo the candidate of the Friends of the Union, at
the ensuing election Now that’s all nonsense
The Federal Union must rub open its eyes, and
bo more clear sighted on an emergency which
calls upon overv man to be at his post and help
! forward the good cause with heart and hand.
That print however admits that tho Clark party
, have unanimously determined on mnninga can
didate of their own; and that no one from among
their ranks is better qualified for the station, or
more likely to receive an undivided support, than
Mr Lumpkin. Then why hesitate? The peo
pie have been satisfied a9 to the effect of the poli
ev of ’2O. and wish no more of it. The occasion
calls for vigilance and activity; and it is time
that every ono who calls himself a friend ofthe
union, skmilil he up anil adding. The Federal
Union has a right to bn considered the organ of
its party, and should take the lead in these mat
ters. We marvel at its backwardness.

bosd'-r rather d-übts the fact of Mr. Haynes’ be

who it affirms has lost none of his popularity with
bis own party. But even admitting that the Re
corder is right in this particular, what will be Mr
Gilmer’s chance of re-election? The Recorder
will doubtless remember that he could scarcely
be called the candidate of his party ui 18***, and,
that on that occasion, lie received but a fraction
over a luuity of tho Troup votes. And in fact
we believe that had the Clark party remained
alnot fr,.in that contest, his competitor would
havo been elected. But when through a kind ot
hocus /iucus arrangement, it became an under
stood tiling, that tho Clark votes would be given
to Mr Gilmer, all the unsettled portion of his
own party, lhoso who cared not a tig for either,
but liked for their own salves to be on the strong
side—declared in bis favor. Aud this circum-
stance gave him a slight majority of Trow votes j
So that now even admitting that Mr. Gilmer i
should have lost none of his popularity with his
party, still what will be his chance for re-elec
tion? Let Mr Haynes receive tlie votes which
were given to Mr. Crawford, and let Mr. Lump
kin receive all tho Clark vote*, (of which there
is no doubt ) and where will be Mr Gilmers
majority* 1 Bui so far as our observation bm en
abled us to form an opinion, wo are satisfied as to
the fact, that Mr. Gilmer has lust ground with
Iris part}-. It seems morally certain that Mr.
Hayne will be supported by the same interest
which supported lr Crawford, with latge addi
tions. And if so, nothing can bo more certain
than that Mr. Gilmer cannot bo rc-elcctcd.
FOR THE OEMOCRAT.
CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL.
Mr Eurron—The more I eonsidor the subject,
ihe more fully am I confirmed in opinion, that tho
Writ of Error granted in the case of Tassels is
in strict conformity with the provisions of the con
stitution and the laws of the land
The 25th Sec. of ihe act of Emigre*s of the
2-tlli of Sepf 17d!> enacts that a final judgement
or decree in any suit in the highest Court of a
State, whero is drawn in question tl»e valiuity iJ
a 'rcaty or statute of, or an auth ritv exercised
under, th United Stales, and the decision is a"
gainst their validity, or when is drawn in question
thevalidity of a statute of.or an authority exercised
under a state, on t 10 ground of their being repug
nant to tho Constitution, t'eaticsor laws of the
U Stales, and the decision is in favor of such
their validity, or whero is drawn in question the
construction of any clause of tho constitution, or
of a treaty, or statute of, or a commission held
under the U. States, 4' the decision is against the
tilfo right or privilege, or exemption specially
set up or claimed bv either party, under such
clause of the said constitution, treaty, statute
or commission— rav be re-examined, and rever
sed, or affirmed in the Supreme Court of the U
Sta/ps upon a wr.t of error,
Hero it will be seen is full authority exactly
meeting tlie ease in point Tassels contested the
validity of the law of this stnto under which lie
was tried on the ground ot its bo rig repugnan' to
the treaties and laws of the f l . States. And it
was therefore a case which came within the juris
diction of the Supreme court of tlie U States,
bv a provision of tlie constitution. Tho fact that
Tassels was a citizen of Georgia, or a foreigner,
which ver it may bo,would n®t deprive that court
of jurisdiction; because in its appellate ju
risdiction, the doctrine is, -‘the eharaetrr of tho
parties does not govern, but the character of the
caso "
Though tho authority is clear that the writ was
issued in conformity with the las of 'lie land,
yet it does not follow that it would have been
sustained upon trial That is; although Judge
Marshal might have considered it his duty to is
sne the writ, yet we may not infer from that fact,
that the court would have decided, after a hear’
ing, that the laws of Georgia were unconstitu.
tional, or that Tassels was improperly tried, and
convicted As 1 before statod; my own opinion
is, he would have sustained the authority of Geor
gia. It so where was the great enormity of ex
amining the matter?
Sidney himself admits that a writ of error is a !
viit of right', that is, a judge may not refuse,
when the ease comes within his jurisdiction; and
that this case docs come within his jurisdiction,
wc have alrea v shewn Sidney goes on to talk
about English authorities; nsif the laws of Eng
land had any thing to do with a case arising out o*
a construction of our own constitution’ He seems
ontiroly willing to he govorned by the laws of a
monarchical government, but thinks it a most a
bominahle affair, that wc are called on to submit
to laws of our own framing—(o laws emanating
from a government built up under the auspicies
of Washington and Jefferson. Had King George,
or King Caucus been at the head of it, it is prob
able his view of tho matter would have been dif
ferent. But it is plain to be seen, that Sidney
knows about as much of Law, as he does of rhet
oric; and if ho will tako my advice, ho wili con
fine his attrntiin to im;rh more humble mat
ters As ho posssscs a most exquisite taste in
poetry, I will give him a distich of remarkable
sense and melody:—
‘Large ships may, can venture more,
But littlo boats shojld keep'near shoro.”
Ho will doubtless bo able to understand this; if
not let him call on his neighbors But I have al
ready bestowed more attention on this superfi
cial writer, than he really deserves. In regard
to his attacks on the worthy judge Marshal, let
me admonish him in the words of the poet whose
languago lie has profaned:—
“Cease viper, cease,tyon gnaw a file!”

should I take a fancy to “literary exercises,” 1
shall turn my attention to something beside the

“Junius” has learned his English. Ann it ap
pears to me that it would he quite ns well for “Ju

spent in at that of others.
