We, i* is well known to every man in ties

IT ivc tor four years protested against its uncon

'i' heir hopes, that their oppressors would re
fill, and relieve them of their unjust burdens,
r-e becoming thread-bear —our hope of relief
by Congress is equally slender. They declare
t it their remedv against oppression lies in their
aavserved right to judge of' tlie extent of the pow
which thev have granted, and in resistance
t any act not authorized by the constitution.
i Georgia has s fid and done as much, which you

iie not granted to Congress the power to lax
! t »e n for the support or encouragement of north
-I* n manufactures : In this too you agree with
in. They say they will nullify tlie vneonsti
tional law. To that declaration, which is the
esuli of all your admissions, you enter your
ro'est, recommending “instead of nullification,
ercssicn, as the only remedy, when ail others
i~ve failed, to w hich a state can naturally and
Mawifiiiy resort.” The admission of South-Ca

- stitutional laws of the Union. If Carolina nul
. lifies the protecting tariif, she will bo in the
1 i same situation in which Georgia has already
, jplaced herself, that is to say, in resistance (to
s what is claimed by the authority of the general
J government) to be the constitutional laws of the
. | Union. Nor does the difference in the charac

- ■Carolina resists an unconstitutional act, which
f\ has for its object to take away her money,
si Neither docs the circumstance of the universal
. iity (by the way the acts we have nullified ope
) | rated upon more states than Georgia) of the o
. peration of the Tariff Law, alter the principle
s ;of its nullification. It may be, if oconstitu
i |tional, as well nullified by one state, though it
1 operates upon all, as by seven, or any other
t number, for where is the reason which would
•' require one state to submit to an j/uconstitution
al law, because twenty-three states were wili
l|ingto submit to it? No other can be urged,
Ijtbutthat which urges consolidation. It is equal
.ly clear that the mixed character of the law,
3 : partly for revenue, and partly for protection,
. that is to say, partly constitutional, and partly
unconstitutional, presen's no barrier to its pro.
. >per nullification, and is in no way out of the
; Georgia practice, as in all cases of nullification,
t Iwe or the government must necessarily give
-■:\vay. In our case for tlie present, the general
. government has given way, as we are yet un
: disturbed ; hut should she ultimately, oppressive
. ly attempt to enforce her unconstitutional acts,
. sis we are unable to defend ourselves, we must
i (be subjugated, with Carolina. She will
: nullify the Tariff act, or so much of it as she,
j l in her best judgment, may consider as imposed
3 ! for protection. The attention of the govern
. meat will be drawn to it, immediately the issue
i j will be formed, and if the friends of protection
. throughout the Union are stronger than the
( j friends of the Constitution, she will be driven
. from the Union, or subjugated, and merged in a
, -consolidated government. Aou say “ instead of
|nullification, secession is the only remedy, when
j j all others have failed, to which a state can na
ij tu rally and lawfully resort.” How docs this
. !course better the case ? But let us examine
1 j your position, and pardon mo for believing it to
fl be a heresy; fnr strange indeed that a sta-e should
. he required to leave the Union, because she re
- fuses to be governed by unconstitutional laws.
. It is not the letter or spirit of the compact that
. she should submit to uiicons itutional laws. Ix"
1 no*, then why require her to leave the Union for
t her nullification of a law w hich you yourself de
. dare to be unconstitutional ? She certainly has
a just claim to all the benefits of the Union,
f while she observes the cons'ituiional laws ofthat
3‘'Union. We have considered it heretofore one
Li of tlie greatest calamities which could beful a
t j state, to he driven from the Union : And will
. you punish a state so severely for refusing ohe
i Idienco to a law the unconstitutionally and op
-3 jpressiveness of which you are daily asserting ?
iis she guilty of any violation of her engage-
I ments ? If not, why require her to leave the
tj Union ? If the other states, by the superiority
•of their combined physical power, force her
,* from the Union, by their bayonets ; why, be it
. ao, it cannu: be helped, but is it right ? is it a.
3 {greeable to the compact ?
: ■ It appears to be the fashion of tlie present
dav, to denounce as impracticable, the idea of a
1 state nullifying a law of tlie United States, and
. at the same time remain a member of the con
-3 (federacy. The absurdity of the position is suf.
t j ficiently exposed by tlie inevitable consequence
. |of oVery violation of the constitution, foragrec
-3 j ably to that rule, in each case of violation, there
. j must necessarily follow submission to the assuin
i jed power, or a dissolution of the Union. It that
1 ! were really the result of our government, our
. | constitution would indeed be a rope of sand,
i I But happily th*se collisions were anticipated by
j jthe framers of the government; the restrictions
i j upon the general government are so plainly
3 pointed out, and the rights of the states so clear
fj ly expressed as to enlighten public opinion up
! on all questions of contested rights ; for, what
3 are the restrictions, if they are not to limit the
> (powers? and of what use are the reserved
rights, if they are not to enable the state to keep
. j the general government w ithin its limited sphere
Ij> of action ? And must a state thus situated, se
s■' cede from the Union, in order to correct a vio-!
t lation of the constitution? Strange requisition'
» for a Constitutionalist to make. Let us take it
to ourselves. as secession advised in our own
r case ? Is it proper note that we should surrender
.i our right to the advantages ol the Union, inor
-1 dcr to be relieved from the operation of an un
. | constitutional law ? We have a right to be in
the Union, and participate in all the advantages
jof it, and still resist the operation of all uucon-i
. stitutional laws. Georgia has nullified, and stiii

3 lam sensible that this communication is aU
ready too long. But I cannot close it, without
i calling your attention to a remark of yours in
your views of the crisis, which, pardon me for
i (believing, to have been made without that reflec
. tion which it is the duty of an editor to bestow
i on matters of such grave importance. Aou assert
that “the people ofthat nullifying State, in placing
themselves in opposition to a federal law, subject
r I themselves to trial for treason, and punishment,
!if found guilty, should they be taken in resisting
s i the operations of a law, of an uncous: itutional
1 law of the federal government.” It would be un
- charitable to believe that you meant what you
fl■ have said. AVhat. Treason when taken in re
-3 sistimr the operations of au unconstitutional
t'lawH! A'ou certainly could not have meant
2 that citizens of a free government, of a limited
o government, so situated, could be rightfully tried
- and punished for an act in which there is more
f of political virtue, and solid patriotism, than ol
, crime. Bv our constitution treason is thus de
- i fined : “ Treason against the United States shall
c i consist only in levying war against them, or in
- adhering to their enemies, giving them aid ant
comfort.” It certainly cannot be considered by
those who assert the i/aconstitutionality ot tht
! : protective system, that it is either levying wai
a against the United States, or adhering to theii
h i enemies, giving them aid and comfort, for a Stan
- to resist an unconstitutional iawu . And it yoi
i 'mean tha- the general government, regardless of
• the constitution, will proceed with such trials
• and punishments for such acts, y r ou prove noth
. ing but that the government of the United States
iis the woist of despotisms, which I cannot yet
• believe. A refusal .to join the temperance society
: j would furnish as good cause of trial, conviction,
and punishment, for treason, as resistance to an
• unconstitutional act of Congress. But to our
t selves again; tor my object is to show conclu
■ sivelv, that Georgia and South-Carolina are
. main ainiug the same principles: the one already
, in tlie full tide of experiment of that doctrine,
i ! which her editors and public men, w ith some
. exceptions, abuse and deprecate; and which the
( ((other proposes ere long to try. Are we not as
Table to be arrested for treason, as they will be,
; when they follow our example? Is not almost
! the whole cf the good people of Georgia, now
, (found in the situation which you say subject the
'milliners of Carolina to trial for treason, and to
j punishment? If resistance to and nullification ol
(unconstitutional law, is treason, tlie case is so
1 plain a one against us, that, as honest good peo
ijple, we should he compelled in our conscience to
•i plead guilty, and submit our heads tu the block,
without putting Tie government tothe trouble of
I trying us, we are in your own language found
- “ in resisting tlie operations ol a law, ot an un
-1 constitutional law of the federal government.”)
, 1 Ours is said to be a peaceable remedy; theirs!
1 upon the contrary is denounced as bringing up.
,j on them civil war, disunion and annihilation.
! Ours is no more peaceable than theirs, they are
I both peaceable and both right in themselves,
i cannot but by oppression be rendered otherwise
! than peaceable; but if opposed by oppression,
! both are equally productive ot war ; so far as
the integrity of the laws of the Union is pre
served by enforcing them, it is as much the
duty of that government to enforce an uncon
stitutional law upon Georgia, as another un
constitutional law upon South-Carolina ; and I
i know of no partiality in our favour, which
should relieve us of the one, and subject her
to the other. There is therefore no differ
ence between Georgia, a Sovereign State, mil
hiving one unconstitutional law, and South-
Carolina, a Sovereign State, nullifying another
unconstitutional law, or in other words still
plainer, between a Sovereign State nullifying,
and a Sovereign State nullifying.
Union among the oppressed is the surest and
safest defence against the oppressors. It is the
only shield which can be strong enough to pro
tect us. And have you considered well, the
situation in which Georgia will be placed, when
the crisis arrives at which Carolina shall nulli
fy? She has now, though continually deprecating
the tariff, no rule of action, no concert, no set
tled policy; her editors are denouncingnuUifica
tion, ihe only remedy apart from disunion, w hich
• (gives to tlie northern people, continued encour
• lageinent to pursue their oppressive policy.
(There are but few papers in the State, which I
TiHve seen, which take a decided stand. The
Recorder and some others, upon either aide of
lour party divisions, much to their credit, may be
understood. The others, by their indefinite
windings, give as much encouragement to the
north, as support to the South. Our State is
|ton* asunder by our party divisions; and each
I ambitious man, of either side, holding himself in
j reserve to profit by the chapter of accidents.
We have an interest now at stake, which is no
less than the preservation ol’ our constitution.
But if the present course of policy, founded up
on party bickerings, shall be continued, we shall
be as unsettled and as unprepared to adopt the
wisest measures for our safety a year hence, as
we are now. A Southern Convention is spoken
of. Very well, if it can be effected; but it is
still nnllijication. The res stance by seven is
founded upon the right of one. If seven have the
right, so have ten, or five, or three, two or one.
And how can you resort to nullification, alter
vou have prepared the minds ot the people to
reject it, and have succeeded in prejudicing them
1 against those w r hopropose to practice it ? It may
not be in our power to obtain a convention ol the
Southern States. Some may be disposed to
■ yield, while others are determined to resist. We
should be prepared to act by ourselves, or with
Carolina, if found necessary. Where then is
- the justification of that policy, the burden of
which is to excite angry feelings between the
citizens of States who arc any how inclined to
make common cause in redressing their wmongs ?
Harmony and good feeling should be cherished,
instead of indulging in taunts and vituperation ;
for depend upon it, whenever she nullifies, as un
prepared as we may be, we will have lo go with;
her, or lose the benefit of those limitations in the 1
Constitution which are the only security we!
! have for remaining free under the federal gov- (
j eminent. The truth of the sentiment delivered
by our friend, Mr. A'oung, at the Hamburg din-j
jner, is electrical —“If she shall falter, or bedriv-(
en back, her defeat is the defeat of all." The!
'time is rapidly approaching when we shall be!
icompelled to make up our minds : We must sus- j
I tain Carolina, or she will be reduced ; and her*
j reduction will be the grave of American liberty.
These are the sentiments of k friend to you, a
II friend to our cause, and a stranger to sophistry.
A'ours with great respect.

CHOLERA.
We publish in this day’s paper, several comraunica
j(tions upon this dreadful disease. The latest accounts
; from Canada will also be found in our columns. In ar
i ranging, some few days ago, our loose papers, we came
.across the following, the publication of which at this
-time is appropriate.
AN EFFECTUAL CURE FOR THE CHOLERA.
j The Loudon Courier of the bth September,
(received by the*last arrival, contains the follow
ling interesting article on the subject of the
,'(Cholera.
The following is an ext rapt from a letter, da
ted Vienna, August 9: —
; “ The communication, which I herewith en
close, ought to be made public in every qttar
, ter of Great-Britain ; for it details the easiest
: land most effectual mode of treatment, under at
! t tacks of the cholera, which has hitherto been pro
• posed or practised.
ijj “The Jews of Wicsniz have been eminent.
. ly judicious in their treatment of the cholera ;
/ for, in that town, out of two hundred and forty*
: individuals who have been attacked by it, every
I lone ol*them has been saved with the exception
L-of two persons, who refused to submit to it. As
l* one of the members appointed to conduct the
f sanatory establishment, I was an eye witness
-of the treatment observed, and have already
II saved the lives of my three servants, who were
u attacked, by adopting it. The several points
d of this remedy are the following :
v,| “Take a pint of strong spirits of wine and
e half a pint of good white wine vinegar ; add to
r them one ounce of powdered camphor, one
r ounce of dour of mustard, or bruised mustard
:e seed, a quarter of an ounce of ground pepper,
u and a full teaspoonful ®f bruised garlick, and,
' jlastly, half an ounce of powdered cantharidcs.I
; 'Mix them well together in a bottle, and expose;
the mixture for twelve hours to the sun, or
; otherwise place it in some warm spu;, taking
care to shake it repeatedly. As soon as a per
son is attacked, let him be instantly put to bed,
under warm coverlids, and let his hands and
feet be rubbed powerfully and uninterruptedly
with the lotion after it has been warmed. Du
j ring this operation let the patient take a glass
of strong drink, composed of two parts of camo
niiie flowers and one part of balm mint. Per
severe in this course, and at the end of fifteen
minutes at the utmost (the patient’s head and
bod}* being kept well covered beneath the bed'
|clothes,) he will break out into a profuse per
|spiration.
“ The patient must be kept in tins state be
tween two and three hours ; but care must be
S taken that he docs not fall asleep. After this.,
i remove the extra covering from off the bed,'
and he will drop into a slumber, which will last
llbetween six and eight hours, and accompanied;
by a gentle perspiration. When he awakes he
j will find himself weak ; but the disease will have,
j entirely left him ; and he will require nothing!
■jj further but rest and moderate diet to restore him
! to perfect health.
“ Especial attention must be paid, that the;
j| patient, after the operation of rubbing, does not
i;so much as lift a linger above the clef lies; for
the slightest chill, whilst the perspiration is upon
him, would be his dea^h.
“ When the cramps in the stomach come on
we apply very hot dry bandages of bran and
ashes to the pit of the stomach, and, when ne
cessary, a bladder of hot water to the region of
the navel.
“ The great point is to produce strong per
spiration, and restore the circulation of the
blood, which at the beginningof the attack, is
drawn from the surface of the body, and thrown
with frightful virulence on its inward parts.
From my own experience and the repeat
ed proof 1 have had of its entire efficacy, I can
not but most conscientiously recommend this
mode of treatment to universal adoption.
“ RIVER, Commissioner of the district of
Bochma.”
By the accounts from Montreal, up to Friday,
received yesterday, there was a very groat ab
atement in the number of cases of sickness and
deaths. It is slated that doubts were entertained
whether the disease which has proved so fata!
in that place and at Quebec is any other than
the usual endemic of the country, more severe
in its present visitation than was ever before
known. On this point, we shall soon, (perhaps
to-day) have the opinion ofDrs. Rhinelander
De Kay, the gentlemen deputed by the authori
ties of this city to ascertain the character of the
disease. They reached Montreal on Thursday,

From the Charleston Courier , July 2.
i A violent thunder storm was experienced in
1 this city on Friday afternoon and evening, during
i which Mrs. Ursula R. Nell, an aged widow la-
I dy,residing in Hampstead, was killed by lightning,
j We learn that Mrs. Nell had just returned from
] meeting, and was in a room by herself up-stairs,
while her two daughters remained in the room
below. After a tremendous flash of lightning,
the house was filled with smoke, when thedaugh
tersran up-stairs to their mother, and found her
a lifeless corpse. Cold water was immediately
thrown upon the body, and a physician sent for,
who attempted to bleed her, but without success.
A Negro Girl, named Phillis, apout thirteen
years of age, the property of Mrs. Catherine
I Mitchell, was also killed by the lightning, as
she was ascending a flight of stairs leading to the
I piazza of a house in Tradd-street, along side of
I which stood a large tallow tree, which the light,
ining struck about eight or nine feet above the
platform, tore oIF about 2 feet of the bark, until
it came to the head of a nail in the tree, where F
branched, and struck her (then about half way
up the stairs,) in the right temple.
The lightning also struck the hard-ware store
of A. Y. Walton & Co. in King, near the cor
ner of George.st. The electric fund passed
down the side of tho chimney into the store on
the ground floor, ranged along the shelves filled
with articles of hard-ware, tearing off the papers
in which many of them were enveloped, and
passed offinto the street. The fact was not dis- i
covered, (as the store was closed at the time) un-
I tii some hours after it had been opened next mor
| ning. The effect of tho lightning upon some
i bundles of spectacles, &c. is curious—each case
seems to have been perforated, the frames melt
ed or blackened, and the glasses broken.
Sorn trees, fences, &c. were blown down.
