Thai there arc amu'ig us individuals, who are

ed to extremities can scarcely admit us a doubt
Public documents', private assertions, the inan cu
vering es parties, and th a admission of indKidu
als, all prove this. It would be well, then, were
(he people seriously to redact upon the conse
qieuces of this course conduct. If tho dillii.nl
tioa between the genera! government and ho
Boulliorn stares should he pushed to e.vtrr initios,
what must be the resuit* Why certainly, a dis-
member "ent of the Union, and an establishment
out ha put if the Southern states of a separate
govcrumcAt. That tho leaders of a party in this
State foresee tho result, arid are.endeavoring to
uas'en it on, is evident. We need only refer to

to convince tho people oftheir r’ght to throw off
the Goncrai government, and the leading editori
al paragraplu in all the Troup papers,Ho convince
us of’Jiia llth nsiieli are thi objects which po
litic i! lea-lers have in viow, we conceive it to be
the and ity as weSl as the right of llie people to in
quire ill regard to tho influence which such a ureas
me is calculated to lurid over their happiness and
welfare. IfCol. Tirour and the leaders of that
party should succeed in dismembering the union,
what will be the effects of that measure on lire
individual happiness ot each member of this com
munity. Tho enquiry is urimd homo to the peo
pie, and it is time that they should make up their
minds upon tho subject.
Tho hostility of individuals is carried to that
extent, lint it behoves tfcc- people to enquire into
the ch -ictcr of that government which is de
nounced. fs it a despotic, oppros dye and tvran.
ical government as Col. Tnotr asserts? Where is
the individual whom it lias oppressed? Whose lib
erty lias it restrained, wr.ose person has it viola
ted or whose eflecu f.aa it appropriated? We have
heard of a great many charges in the gross; such
as the “South ' being oppressed ny the tariff, the
il South'' being ruined, by tins measure or defrau
ded by that; but who is this “South" who has been
thus maltreated by government? Unless it be
some disappointed office seeker, some unfortunate
cotton speculator, we are at a loss to determine.
a see no ruined men among tho substantia!
classes of the community Thu farmers are very far
from being rninedjthey were never more free from
debt, and get as good prices f r their produce this
year, as they did eight years ago. Tho mercan
tile interest was never more prosperous. And in
fact almost.every branch of business is unusually
active and productive. Then who is this “South”
whose ruin a certain class of politicians have so
long L-cen croaking over? It is uot the planter, the
farmer, the merchant, the mechanic, nor the la
borer; neither of those are ruined. None of these
can accuse Uncle Sam es having put his hajid in
their pocket, or his scourge on their backs To
all of these he is only known as a jolly old fellow,
i more f nd of giving than taking; whoso exactions
are neither seen nor felt; but whoso benefits are
; scattered far and near; and whose influence is on
' T*T-r«' '* -n,t institutions of
genera! utility.
Asa nation, tho whole American pecqrlo have
enjoyed unprecedented prosperity under the aus
pices ofthe general government. In numbers,
wealth and power, thoir increase has been beyond
all former qxample It is a government which
has ensured us happiness and tranquility at home,
and respect and admiration from abroad. Under
its flag the Americans have obtained a renown
which will endure forever, and a name which is
revered in all parts of tho earth. But when the
object of tile nullifiers is accomplished, this flier
must become extinct, and this name he effaced
from tljo recotd of nations.
And what shall wo obtain in exchango for all
this?
And first of nli on tho list, of our acquisitions, wc
•shall obtain a civil war. For whatever politicians
may asser, the federal government will not be dis
membered without an effort to sustain herself

clouds w ill rain blood, and the fountains gush with

gainst each other, under hostile banners; tow ns
will be ravaged, cities burned, houses pillaged
and the sanctity of female privacy will bo violated.
Private hate, and private malice and revenge, will
seek their gratification under thefhnw of public
service; all law, sacred or profane will bo tram

Sta'e required no such has’e; it was an expedient
unworthy ol its author, and owing to the or, it
ignorance of mistaking a notice, which lefT the
State its option, for a station ordering or demand

by the “Supreme law of the land,” his writ of or

turned, and tho sentence executed; but if the Su
preme court solemnly decided that he was so pro

have procured such an alteration in the Laws and

no other alternative was left, it would thon at

manifesto, declared her secession, and maintained
it bv open force It would look like tho act of*
sovereign stato But to elude investigation, was
a false step winch Georgia must regrot. The re
poal ofthe 2oth Soc. was a wretched effort at an
t.t post facto justification; hut thr overwhelming
veto of the House, shows the odour in which
practical nullification is in here. In relation to
the ana rs of feouth-Uarolina, among her won,
Smith and Drayton have unquestionable the en

arid as thoy are both decided in their views of tho

would preserve the only means to rid herself of

“In conversation with members from different

it seems the General thought that Crawford was

Jackson by the nullification party; and Jackson
