Wav is to c.-tahiish tii<* practice on a per

; feel no deposition to de tract Irom the

by the Chiicus or Committee ; that I do
not impugn tlie motive of either of tlie hit

w hat they In te done—it is their privilege,
ins it is that of any other gentlemen, to
place in nomination whoever they’may
j prefer as candidates; hut it they ‘deny
this right to any body else, and attempt to
1 give to their proceedings any other forte,
I than that of a recommendation, by cen

All this may I <• done, either by themselves

I insist that the people nre accountable to
themse.lves only fir their conduct, and

| clearly adopt by their negative pregnant
vote, the principle of protection, as those
who vote lor the adoption o, this modili

thn act 'of lb2ri, they impliedly support all
that act contains. A conclusion to their
prejudice, is ns fair as that against us
who w ill take tlie opposite course* 1 do
not draw this conclusion; the purpose of
the southern senator/; is avowed; thev
will not countenance the principle; let
them have credit for it. Ail 1 ask is
that when forming conclusions on this
subject, they will yield to the others,
I lie justice exercised towards them.
Let tht in admit that vve ilo not adopt
or approve or countenance the princi
ple, by preferring this measure to the
existing law.
Ido not deny, sir, that those who
think th it the continuance of the act of
182® may lie productive of a stilt more
favorable modification of the revenue
system, than the present bill, at the
next session of congress, are quite
j rigid to desire it to remain unrepealed.
Did I ente tain tliat opinion, 1 should
act with them. That this hope is vain
must he ohvio s to the least observing.
No important change in the character
of congress cun be expected to occur
by the next winter. The same opinion
the same feelings will continue to ope
rate upon the same persons, and tlie re \
suit of another winter's discussion, will !
he similar to the result of the efforts ol’l
tlie last six months. It i> possible, that
by bearing with the act, till anew con
j gress is elected, under the late oppor
-1 tionment of representatives, and a par
tial change in this body occurs, happi
;er results might he anticipated. But, j
; sir, this anticipation does not justify the
i continuance of the burthens of an un
necessary taxation. Are gentlemen j
willing to collect ten millions of extra
revenue, for the chance of more cn
lightened opinions in the congress of
1834 and 5? In my judgment, without
estimating the danger of suffering the j
present public oxcitemen' to continue, :
without an effort to allay it, it would he
unwise and unjust to purchase this!
chance at so hiffh a price. If as 1 hope
and trust, the next congress should !
bring more correct opinions to the pub- i
lie councils, the abolition of the protec
five principle, as it appears in this bill, |
will be a w ork ofas little difficulty, and
as acceptable, as the banishment of it,
by the repeal oftlie act ot’lß2B
hie word, sir, lo those who are the
friends of ilie protective system; who j
really believe, in defiance of fact and j
reason, that its preservation is essen- j
tially connected with the best interest of!
the whole country. l)o not deceive |
yourselves, gentlemen. This Ini! is no
compromise will not he so consider
ed. It is received as an evidence of
your desire to accommodate your prin !
eiples.in the legislation of yonr coun
try, lo our feelings. It is not that ac
commodation. You have stopped far j
short of the true point, upon vvhieli the
I southern and northern principles must j
unite. This is only the first step. As
such i hope it will be considered, and so
considered, that it vv ill prevent all vio
lent denunciations and idle menaces.
But ihe protective principle must and
will be abandoned; reason, justice, pa- 1
triotism. demand it. and their voice j
must he sooner or later obeyed. As
for myself, never having given a vote
on any question which can be tortured
(unless by those who are predetermin
ed to find pretexts to complain of my
conduct) into an approbation of the ;
principle, it will meet from me a erase

veiled with It is no longer war m dis
guise.” Air Barnwell breaks out thus:
“Revolution! sir, 1 feel no chdliim
fears, no appalling terrors come over me
at the sound; on tlie contrary, I feel my
mind elate, nud my spirit rise, as at the
rushing gale, w Inch hears me over the
waves of a stormy ocean. What, sir, has
the people ever gained hut by revolution?
what did tyrants ever concede hut to rev
oliitioi ? From the I cgmni. g ot tune,
j liberty has been acquired hut at the price
|of blood, and that blood sited m molu-
I tion
j “No, sir! she came into existence like
the fabled harvest of lie Dragon’s teeth
j covered all over with the panoply of war;
| with her breastplate and with her helmet
! on, and iier spear glittering for the des
i truction of tyrants. * * #
“Revolution, sir, it is the dearest and
the holiest vvoid, to the brave and the
free. Let tyrants curse it, and the fear
fill tremble at it. It may lilt the storm
I on which the proud bird of freedom loves*
to roc and soar; hut who will not tak* it
i with a!! its troubles and trials, rather than
! the cold, accursed, living death of slave
y-,.
‘ It the fire and the sword of war are to
] be brought to our dwelling, why, then, s.r,
1 say, let them come! \\ InJ.-t a hush
grows, winch may he dabbled with blood,
or a pine tree stands to support a rifle,
I let them come!”
| And yet nullification is not, nor will it
j he, revolution, or disunion!
Again—An editor oftlie name of Jolm
| stou, (of the Columbia Telescope) ad
jdressed the meeting at Columbia when
Ins paper was toasted, and in the course
of Ins liarrangue exclaimed:
“Whv cannot w c resist tyranny as well
|as ou. fathers? Is our blood less warm,
i (ire our arms Jess strong, are our hearts
i less hold than theirs? W e have the r._hts
to maintain; tlie same firesides to*deiced;
! the same soil to stand upon; the same
sun to shine over 41s; and the same i rov
idenct* to-trust to. (Great cheering.) It
is said that vve are weak. Courage is
never weak. There is no strength equal
1 to the strength ol a good cause.”
And lie concluded, by offering the fol
low mg toast:
“Action: let us act, next October, at
the ballot box; next November, at the
state-house; and afterwards, rhoultt any
further action he necessary, let it he
where our ancestors acted, in the field of
battle .”
’! he tallowing .are further specimens of
the toasts:
At Columbia.
“8011th Carolina: her principles are
proclaimed to the world, uud he. sons are
pledged and prepared to maintain tlu in,
cost it Jill their treasure and all their

“ 1 lie Carolina Seylla, the depositary
