A Stite has-certainly the right to manage her own j local concern, as she pleases, provided she docs not in-j vercre with the concerns ct other States. South Caro-, linn, therefore, has Me right to act as she thinks proper, ■ with record to the laws of the federal government, pro-1 vided the measures she may adopt, do not interiere | with existing contracts; with solemn engagements and: promises; nor with tho interest of other parties to suchj contracts. If South Carolina determines on secession, because of the oppression and unconstitutioaality of the j Tariff: wciland good: no one can say aught against! ( each a measure. But if South Carolina meddles with} | other States, and attempts, by electioneering miridu-i vres, to induce them to join her in measures which may i lead to the dissolution of the federal compact, or some’ other disastrous event, certain’y that State places herself; in a conspicuous attitude, for the gaze and scrutiny of the multitude; inviting thereby investigation into the causes which led her to assume that attitude, and ex pecting censure or approbation, from the people of other j States, as their interest may be involved in the conse- | qugnees to he apprehended from the policy pursued by! her for the redress of real or pretended grievances.

We will use thispri-l V ’A .re, under the firm belief that we are not intruding ! ourselves into the private or local concern? of our sister State. ! In expressing our decided disapprobation of the doc ; trine of nullification, wr render lull justice to some of i the principal lead ors 0 f ttie p art y j n South Carolina, which maintain the right of a State to nullify a law of i Ccngr^- S , V/e know some of those leaders to be high. :tß’.ndod, honest in their opinion, and sincerely attached Ito the Union, But at the same time, we believe that j 1 their friendship for Mr. Calhoun, with their ardent de* i sire to place him in the Presidential chair, has impaired their judgment, and led them to entertain prejudices and principles, which they believe, very honestly no doubt, are correct views of the federal constitution, and of the rights and powers retained by the States when they con federated. Under such an impression oi the leaders of ! thc nullification party in South Carolina, we have hereto* ■ fore expressed ourselves; and intend to express our selves: we shall therefore return to the Hamburg Din. ,ner, for we set out with the intention of offering a few (remarks upon that important and gastronomic subject, because we find that the object of the dinner has been i misrepresented; that the manner it originated and was effected, is not generally known; and that abroad the ie j suit has been totally misunderstood. To place several Hos the circumstances connected with that dinner in their proper light, ie what we have in view by these remark*. I ia a iaie numaer oi tao Jeffersonian, a paper printed l *n Richmond, Va. which advocates the doctrine ofnuili. fication, and Supports Mr. Calhoun for the Presidency, we find that the dinner is represented as having beer .'given by the citizens of Georg'-a, and that the hearts oi the Georgians and Carolinians beat in unison, whenever jj nullification was the theme. We inform the editor oi i'the Jeffersonian, that this is not so. The Hamburg [Dinner was an abortive attempt to enlist Georgia in the ■l, ranks oi the Nullification party ; and instead ot being con. entered of so much consequence, the citizens of Angus ita have nearly done laughing at this attempt of that par jty, tc eat themselves into the good graces of the people, , Rut it seems Mat wnat w-as ail farce here, has been in vested with a very solemn importance abroad. The | Hamburg Dinner has been spoken of as a great political 1} event; when, in fact, there was never perhaps a more I I fruitless electioneering barbacue. We have looked I, over the naxiu.ivc oi th.it festival, md ctd-ici from it r j; few items, which will give our readers at a distance, jusl .notions of the subject. ) The volunteer toasts afford a good criterion of th< company; fir the whole affair being a mere politica scheme, no man who could be used w-ith any effect, v/a: : left in the back ground. There were 59 persons pre sent, who gave volunteer toasts. Os that number, 1-. | only, it appears, wore given by Georgians. Os the M 5 were given by members ot the Committee ; 5 by othe; : citizens of Augusta, end 4 by persons from the country 11 1 his number ci 4 was certainly a very meagre repre , centation of the State. W® learn from good authority i that there must have been some hundreds of invitation: ; sent to the interior. As so few of the invited made thei | appearance, we must look for an account of them in th( [ answers read at the dinner. Os these only 9 wen ! Georgian. What are we to think of the remaining ab i sentees ? Did any of them reply ? If they did, thei • j letters must have been very little to the purpose of tin t| inviters, or they would have been read; tor several c I those actually produced were mere milk and water; and in I deed only two were something line what the inviters wish ied them to no. If only- nine condescended to return a: 'answer, nullification must have been held in lessestims tion even than we had supposed. It is difficult to de tennine precisely how many persons were present a the festival. Certainly the number wan much smalle . than might have been anticipated, from the crowd, *b general Invitation given, and the gratuitous offet of goo . eating and drinking. A person wall qualified for th task, went to Hamburg for the express purpose of ai , certaimng the number and composition of the party jHe reported that during Governor Hamilton's speed [there appeared to be present about tix hundred person; j including grown whites, white boy?, and servants of it i describabie variety. | But enough of a subject which is well understoo jhere, and ail the circumstances of which are duly ap j predated , wh aJe misrepresentation and political part j zans have magnified its effect abroad. i j Pl hLiC FEELINGS. ' It is with pleasure we give a place in our column |to the following article from the New York Journal c Commerce. The merited castigation which Mr. Nile | has drawn upon himself, may be a lesson to him, am teach him more moderation; but we doubt it can hav ( j. any effect with a man eo bigetred to his opinions, so sub servient to the views ol Mr. Clay, and so inimical to tli South. The plus adopted by the Journal of Commerce should be im.ur.ud by all papers who have at heart th. welfare and perpetuity of the Union; tor the people, i f nude acquainted, can appreciate the incendiary publics tions of those whose seifioh news would sacrifice th. best interests ot the country, could thev succeed ii placing u.eir favorites in office, and in monopolizing oi . the benefits the federal government can be vow. The is that the times are critical: The Union i lin danger. And if the prospect i» portentous, it may .» be justly ascribed to a departure from the letter and j spirit of the federal constitution by the federal govern. I ment, in the policy pursued with regard to the Tariff, 1 and to the system oi internal improvement adopted by ; 3 ICongress. In these times then, when so much is to be j’ ■dreaded, it :s the duty of every patriot to come forward, ;* !and contribute in rescuing his country from desolation j* and ruin. But .t is our firm belief, that no efficient re- j* medy can be applied to the evil, unless we go back to | * i original principles, and to a fair and literal construction j ;of the federal coneiitution. We must submit to tho | laws of Congress, when those laws ere constitutional. ,[ j\Ve roust adopt constitutional means of resistance,,, 5 | when laws are enacted which are palpably an infringe- [j 1 mont of the Coasiimtion. Tho people of the North'j may be selfish and interested; but they are attached to j' ; J * .if 1 tlie Union, and they are not so inimical to the South as v they are represented to be by certain presses. Con-,' vince tho people of the North that the constitution has; been violated; persuade them that their interest ana J iieir welfare are interwoven with the interest and wel- j fare of the people of the South ; show them that mutual’! 'concessions will repair tha evils produced by partial ic-ij 1 giolation; and we have no doubt that they will them-1 - ■ selves recommend a repeal of these laws which have, 'produced, and continue to produce, so much mischief. jWe have in the South suffered much : But before we resort to the last alternative, in order to relieve our. ,} 1 ; selves from the misery which presses us down, wo are 1 willing to make a last appeal to tus patriotism of our ' northern brethren, and to wait e. hale while the result. i £ From the Journal of Commerce, of June 5. j ‘ Onward, friends, onward ! and toll thoso { i who have i OWr.it through your suffrages, that the : jgovennncnutaiiff’bill must not pass!

Muchas we abhor the doc rines iof nuhiticaiion, we regard the sentimenfa above! 1 f I 1 | quoted with equal abhorrence, and consider I! them equally dangerous to the perpe uity of the ' jj Union. We had supposed it was the part of I brethren and fellow-citizens, to treat each: 1 other’s complaints with kindness and charity. ! j When the Union was formed, it was based upon, i principles of mutual forbearance and ounces.; ' sioa. If this spirit is to be abandoned, and v. a jure to say to those who feel themselves ag-ij •grieved, will not relax an Inch of our de j'manus o save the nation from ruin; if you can-1] | j not bear the burdens we impose, the sooner you ! ( break from the Confederacy the better; —we ••say if such is tiie temper with which Tariil'menl ' regard the complaints of ue oouth, tlie Union| | will be dissolved, and the pen of history will | ascribe the catastrophe not so much to the South, }i ; as to tlioao infatavvtvd men, \v!io claiming “ the •j same right to protection that they have to life,” •aifl insisting upon it at all hazards, blow the embers of discon ent into a flame, and render a i dissolution of the Union inevitable, to some ( j it mav seem a small matter that this Union } should be dissolved —far smaller than the con. l ] sideration of a few dollars on-I cents wrung from the pocke.s of their feliow.citizens ; —but wr, are not prepared to sacrifice the benefits which have been purchased to the country by oceans ,j of blood and treasure, without a “ sigh,”—nay, I; witi.ou; lifting up the voice of remonstrance, and conjuring all who are not absolutely dement ed on the subject of protection, to pause and consider the desperate lengths to which they ! are going, and the fearful consequences of an event which they are urging to its consummation; with a recklessness altogether unaccountable. W ere it he last sentence which we ever ex pected lo write, we would entreat the leaders of tk« Tariff’party, and all who have any influence; 1 on this momen ous subject, to weigh well the con-; • sequences of the course they are now pursuing. 1 • Remember the question is not whether they will • relinquish protection altogether, for the sake of 1 conciliating the extensive districts of country; 1 which feel themselves aggrieved—but whether : they will give up any thing : Whether they will ■ consent to the project of the Secretary of the 1 ■ Treasury, erto that of the Commi tee of Mann ' fact ures in the House, either of which will leave ‘ 5 (-the manufacturing interests largely protected, : ; and at the same time prove to the South that : (their complaints are nut altogether unheeded. If they will not concede so much—if in short they • j will concede nothing—if they will cling to the £ •ne plus of pro* ectec ion till the last gasp,—and, j. ff in consequence of this, our fair Republic should be torn asunder, —posterity will build menu, •men s to their memory, but they will be rnonu • rnen.s efinfamy, scorn and detestation. | What a monstrous sentiment is this which the *Tariff organ urges upon its friends, —“You have' pi the same right to protection that you have toi life” 1 We will not insult the understandings of r Jour readers by attempting to disprove so prepos c jterousa doctrine; and we only quote it to-chow : Q ! tne na ure ot the claims which are urged bv the e ( leaders ot the Tariff party. But admiuing that they have the same right to protection that they have to life ; does it foilow that there are to be no J’; limits to the extent of this protec'ion?—Will not ’’ 25, 30, 35, or even 50 per cent, answer ?—Have U (l they the same right to stid fur her protection that A , they have to life ? Shame on such nonsense. :| ibis subject is at last before Congress in a - lorrn which indicates f hatsomething may bedone. Mr. M’Dutne’s bill has been rejected by the i House, and that of the Committee of Manufac. I :ures, reported by Mr. Adams, is under discus-, s sion. We hope and trust there are liberal-mind-. fj ed men and patrioqs enough in that body, to ad -3 opt either tins biU, or tha of the Secretary of ihe i Treasury. The concessions proposed in these - bdks, one or the -offier of them, are the least . which will pacifv tfie people of the South, —and ; ■ per naps we should say, the least that ought to , pacTy them. Not that either of them is at all; i adequate to their wishes, —but they have sense f enough to know ihat where the views and in - teres s of men differ so widely, the line of com. ; promise lies between the two extremes. A fov,- i-davs will decide: and we are s'rongly of opin ! ion, that a more momentous decision, under all | the circumstances, was never made on the fioor of i Congress.

DINNER TO Jl DGE REID. The Bar, and Officer* oi the Court of Common Flea! of this city, gave a farewell dinner to Judge Reid, or Monday last, at the Eagle &. Phamix Hotel, on th.e oc Casion ot leaving tho Bench of that Court, to accept tht appointment of Judge in Florida. The dinner, and it; appendages, were in a style highly creditable to the proprietors of that fine establishment, and the utmos good feeling prevailed, during the evening. At five o’clock, the company sat down. Judge Holt and the offi cers o; the Superior Court, with severel members o tac proicssion, Irom this State and Carolina, wore amnnj the guests. John P. King, Esq. acted as President and William T. Gould, Esq. as Vice-President—Aftci the cloth was drawn, the President rose, :md with: iew iccling and appropriate remarks, introduced tha fol, lowing toast, which was drank standing: Our honoured guest —In whatever clime ht •Ray fix his abode, ho will carry with him the gratitude A: friendship of the Bar, over which he has presided with such distinguished ability. Judge Reid, in a very impressive manner, and wit! much leeling, addressed the meeting to the following es i«ot t Gentlemen, Tac very kind sentiment jm have just expressed, fills me with gratitude ; but 1 confess, while it is most gratifying, it embar rasses me exceedingly. No public services o mine are worthy of the partial favor you be stow —and I am not guilty of any aff’ectatipi of modesty or humility, when 1 declare, that this distinguished honor belongs not of right to me And yet, gentlemen, however small the mea. sure of my deserts, 1 feel both pride and plea sure in carrying with me to a land of strangers the good wishes and esteem of thoso valuabh friends whom 1 leave behind.—Of one ihing be assured, 1 a.in inspired with on hone*st urnbitioi to be what I ought to be, tu merit your kindness and tojuslii’y it lo those, among whom my future lot shall be cast. 1 leave you at a time mos : interesting to the whole country, and very especially so to Geor gta ; at a time, when a severe and grasping po. hoy has spread dissatisfaction through the south ern states, and provoked in some quarters, sen tuacii.s which are supposed to be unfriendly tc i.uo Union iiSoli ; at a ame, when the spirit o Georgia ll(*S been thoroughly roused, and hej people stand up, forgetful oi party distinctions v\ itii unexampled unanimity, m opposition to t [mandate affecting the sovereignty of the State and a submission to which would be politica mean; at a time, when by a Revolution jus begun, and which 1 believe will be success [ iully achievea—a Revolution—bloodless—ye [Complete Georgia so about to correct th< errors oi ilm pus , and to make her (’onstitutioi j more appropriate to her vast resources—her ex pansive population and her growing intelligence I here arc undoubtedly patriots amongst Uc who see nought but “ shadows, clouds and dark ness’ resting upon the prospect —but, 1 urn hap Ip} to say, there are others who descry the Rain bow amidst the storm, and the liglus of bop and consolation bursting through the gloom Surely, the virtue of the American people, an jthe wisdom and vigour of that great man wh 1 fought at Orleans, and whorulesat Wushingtoi Hare equal to the crisis ! Why should we°de; pair oi the Republic, while the precepts of oi father who sleeps at Mount Vernon, are imprin ed upon our memories and thrilling at ot hear s?—Why should we dream of a broke j Union —when, come that event when it ma] jj the day-star of Liberty must suffer disastrol :[eclipse, and the cause of human freedom receiv .throughout the world, a horrible shock 1 L« jus hope that the blessings which have «o lon i: been showered by high heaven upon us, in gr< | ctous profusion, arc* not about to be withdraw ij from our beloved country; that the blow aime I! at the independence of Georgia may be averted (‘that the-odioussystem which bears so hardy U| i! ob Commerce and Agriculture, will be modifit or adjusted, either by the good feelings of oi ‘brethren of the Nonh and West, and°a retun jingsen.se of justice, or by measures propose Hand adopted, in a spirit of conciliation and wi; , dom, by a Convention oi Delegates from li. whole bouth ! But it is not rry purpose to mar tho generot ’convivial: y ot this meeting, by a further cons ■ deration of these ungracious subjects; perm | me to dwell for a moment, upon some of the b« nefits likely to result from a meeting of the pe< . pie of Georgia, through their Representative in the contemplated Convention. I say nothin of tne great cause of Reduction and Kefcuh ■ which will no doubt first occupy the attentic will certainly be a most dignified an ; enlightened assembly ; there are o:her objec w hich w ifi press forward to claim their oarne. regard, and amoag them I would mention i one ol chief interest— ike present condition c ■ the Juaiciary of (Je-orgia. We have eight Ji dicial Circuits—wo have eight Judges—wiio, i talent, integrity and zeal, may not shrink froi a comparison with the ablest Judicial officers < the other states of the union, and vet, with a the efforts ot these honest and gifted men, we to administer the laws and make them unison j throughout the State—there is—correctly speal ■ ln ” no Lew in Georgia f Believe me it is f. Jj.rom me, to asperse the institutions of a Stat I to wiiich 1 owe a debt of gratitude never to I cancelled—but however salutary our Legish ti -'e enactments, however excellent the code th; j p ur pcr!s to secure liberty and right —that cai i not be called with propriety, the law of th i.land, which is the subject of a different applies i tion and construction in the several Judith [Circuits into which the State is divided. In hi : own appropriate sphere each Judge is supreme [jhe holds m his hands the issues of life dead 1 and property and liberty depend upon his will ithe term of service is limilted to each, and th i consequence is, that the decisions of one Cir i;cuit are not tho decision® of another—nay— 1 -the of to-day is not the law of : , in the same Judicial Circuit! What waa t * 1 law as pronounced by our Waltons, Monfw'-s '* '; rys, Herriens, Earlys and Walkers, hua •j the law of their successors—even while I arn I speaking, the rule of the northern portion of '! the State ia not the rule of the Southern 1 h» ■ | rule of the West is in opposition to that of the l | East. A man may be convicted of crime in ■■ the county of Chatham, when under like cir. j oumstances he would escape with impunity i n | Richmond ; —a citizen of Richmond may be co. • j erced to empty his purse and to yield his pos. ’j sessions, in obedience to judgment against him |j when with like claims against e/tors,judgment# ! ii might not be rendered in his favour , m Baldwin ■ lor Muscogee. Why ia it, that the people bf L j|Georgia—of Georgia the most democratic iStat# ii in the Union—have submitted so long to a sys. ' item as oppressive as it is despotic?—Uniformi, ! ty and certainty enter into all definitions of mu. 1 nicipal law—and surely that is no rule of gene, ru! conduct which is ever fluctuating and chang. ;ing, in its application to particular cases, with r ! more than weathercock versatility. It is cer. tainly true that in other States there are Cir. cuir Courts and contradictory decisions; but 'i then, there are higher and paramount tribunals, l j by which erroneous, jarring and conflicting ■ I judgments are corrected, reconciled and made uniform. By following their good example, and i establishing a court of appeals, our laws will . no longer be, like those of Caligula, out of reach of the people and even of the profession, al advocate. Lc't the Convention give u; a Court of Appeals, and the life, liberty and pro. r j perty of the Georgian will be secured by a pre soription, equally certain, uniform and safe. The lawyer will then, no longer be obliged to confess that the proceedings of our halls of iu*. 1 rice savor of the chances of a lottery—> he will no longer say to his client—“ Your case depends upon the breath of the pre. 1 i siding Judge, and hangs upon his lips!”—but ! i turning to written decisions and to volumes of ‘ reports —he will be able to pronounce with clearness what the law ia. Lei Georgia be pos -1 sessed of that invaluable treasure— an affix- Hats tribunal of last resort—and the law j shall rc:gn triumphantly, m uniform and | simple majesty, from the Gold Region to th* Atlantic border—from th* Savannah to the con. i fines of Florida ! . When I came, Gentlemen, to reside here, up. wards of twenty-two yeara ago, I found this ’ city rich and prosperous. But it has since, won ’ derfuliy improved in its appearance, and in -1 creased in its size. Then, the wide plain that extends beyond yonr suburbs, was tor the most part covered with woods—where the Planter* Hotel now stands, was a corn field, and th* ’ \ iliage ut Springfield, which has since been absorbed in the City itself, stood beyond your northern Omits. Within the time men lioned, works of public utility, edifices of a ; more perfect architecture—temples and groves ' have arisen around us—and neno Augusta no | ! longer wears the semblance of what she was. V\ ith an extensive and increasing commerce—a I population large and continually accumulating— i a public mind enlightened and daily receiving j new light—her favor and soheite 1 by Rival Cities—it is not unreasonable to expect - that the ina itutious of this City, will receive ‘ a due consideration from iho«e who shall be called to reform the constitution. Among dies* ' ins I'utions—the City Gourt u one of v* ry groat iniportance. It has not been invested with & | criminal jurisdiction, nor indeed could itljeffun- 1 der the constitution us it now stands. Every on* knows that the commission of crime is-insepura. ’j ble from a population so dense as ours, and it is equally evident, that tne prevention of crime i* ! • best secured by t infliction'of punish* aiciit. 1 lie trials in the Superior Court of cf. *’ fences comma ted tore urclooturdy to answer th* purposes and demands of public jus; ice. With*. ’ cimmial, superadded to an ex ended ckvil juris, diction —with an appeal from the Ciiy Court di rectly to a Court ol Errors—the Court of Com. mon i’lcas will become what it certainly should ‘j be —tiie nursery of lawyers and school for j Judges—the guaranty of commercial success— me protection and support of the peace and good order of this community. Gentlemen—l am about to leave your beau. 1 r tiful city—the dwellings of my friends—th# birth-place of my children—the graves of the tic- 'I r parted and beloved- Believe me, I do not g» n without the deepest emotion!
