no for a moment think of availing herself of
the advantages of nullification, ypthc right be

2. This reserved right of the slat e, would
weaken and even destroy the power of the fe
deral government. The I..aion of the stages
would be but a name —the government would
puss ;; no power beyond the voluntary submis
sion of the s at- s—the constitution and the as
senablingof Congress to enact laws, would he a
mere form—-the semblance of power—its laws
could never be obligatory, while the states pos
c -"cd the right of nullifying them; if the sta es
submitted t<> them, it must be by voluntary sub-'
n.'ssion. To attribute power to sucii a govern
in' :it would be as great a perversion of lan
guage, r,” to style an individual a manufacturer!
because In receives manufactured goods in pay
;• .1 for the product c>f bis labour, as some poli-i
t eal economists would have us believe. Toj
~iMsTatc the effect of nullification on the power
• . i ... r i
ol the g< nerul government ; v\e will suppose|
war to be declared bv Congress against a for-;
eign power, and laws passed to carry it into o
perution. A few of the states professing a be-1
lief, that the causes for declaring war, were nol ■
sulficien', and if successful would be partial in j
its benefit : and that Congress had transcended j
the spirit of the cons'itution in making this do-1
claration of war; resorting to their reserved!
ribs, they nullify that act. Other states, pro
f suing a belief that the law for direct taxes to
conduct the war, was unjust, partial, ami op
pressive, and cons equently in violation of the
spirit of the constitution, they nullify that act.
And other states, professing a belief, like Caro
lina, relative to tiic tariff act, that the duty is
home unequally —and that Congress in arrang
ing the amount of impost on diflerent articles,
was influenced much or mostly or even entirely
by a desire for pro ecting domestic manufac
tures ; pronounce this law to be in violation of
she spirit of the cons'-itution, and the right of
the states to nullify is made to act upon it, by
tft.it part of th • Union. These professions of
belief of tiic different states which have nullifi
ed tin; acts of Congress relative to the supposed
war, may lie insincere ; but in charity, grant
tin m to be fully rs honest and sincere in their
hi lief, as die nnllifiers of Bouth-Carolina arc —
its cflhcts on the power of the federal govern
ment would be the same, their aid in men and
money would be withheld. With this plausible
case in view, permit me to ask the advocates
for nullification, how is Congress to conduct this
war, which it has been empowered to declare ?
Shall it call a Convention <>f the .States, to re
move the objections of the disaffected s'atcs re
lative to the supposed uuconstitutionaiity of
ihos - laws ? And after these objections shall
have been removed by the convention, and it
dispersed ; may not similar doubts of constitu
tionality arise in those states, which were pre
viously sa islied; or even in the same states
on other laws of Congress for conducting the
n n
war 1 Shall another convention he called ?
And another ? And another ?! ! Will the na
tio.i, against which war may have been dcclar
e i, delay her operations until the United States
shall settle all doubts of the constitutionality of
iter laws ? No, she would he more vigorous in
her at aeks, and rejoice at the imbecility of a
Republic. This is a correct illustration of the
blasting effects, which nullification would have
outlie power an 1 proceedings of the federal
government. 1 have shown the effect it would
have by a single example ; but the reader can
readily conceive the similar benumbing influ
ence it would have on all other proceedings of
Congress. There is no other power given to
th-.* federal government, but which would ho
subject to equal embarrassment, if the states
have retained to themselves the right, which
the nnllifiers contend they have ; and if such
right lias been retained by the states, then is
our federal compact an unmeaning instrument ;
and the power which is therein delegated to the
general government is laid prostrate, by that
single right which has been reserved bv she
states, who created the government. And our
representatives, who are annually sent to Con
gress, are only acting the part of school.boys
who are paid to attend there, to learn declama
tion and political intrigue. If this right be rc
s rved by the states, depriving the federal go
venmieiit of all power, obedience to its laws is
only to be expected from those states, with
whose views of propriety and constitutionality
they may accord. If this right be reserved by
the states, then are we driven to the belief, that
our revered statesmen, wiio framed the consti
tution, were as deficient in knowledge and poli
tical sagacity as our government is of power.
If such he the fact, onr constitution should be
immediately amended or the Union dissolved :
as tiic government under which we live would
be totally destitute of power. To explain a
way these difficulties, we arc fold, that the right
in a state to nullify, is only possessed, and can
only he exercised, in cases where Congress in
its laws has transcended its constitutional limits ;
not only in cases of palpable violation but al.
t*> in cases where a state may think the law in
violation of the spirit of the constitution ; as for
example the opinion of B. Carolina on the con
stitutionality of the Tariff. It is on this ground
of “ spirits il construction of the Constitution,''
that I maintain and it can be satisfactorily pro
von, tlicit if the right of nullification be pos
sessed by the states, very few, if any, of the
laws of the Union, would be exempt from its
withering influence—its application would be as
varied as arc the interest, feelings and minds of
men. If B. Carolina nullification be discover
■ i to be a true political doctrine of our govern
ment, admissible by its constitution ; then we
have discovered a mortal wound, our almost
perfect government has had its knell tolled, and
we may behold the dawn of anarchy in onr ho
rizon. But this surely cannot be—l would fain
iiclieve it the mere phantom of the feverish
brain.
3. The possession of such power by any one
t ate or minority of states over the laws ut the
" hole, is at variance with and subversive ot the
t mdamcntal principles of a republican govern
ment. To establish the principle that one state
of tiic Union has the right to determine it a
1 twos Congress be in accordance with the spir
■l of the constitution, and if its decision bo, that
trie law is in violation of it, though the opinion
of the other states or the majority of them may
be, that the law is within the limits of the letter
and the spirit; by its own decision, it will have a
right to demand of Congress a repeal or such a
modification of that law, as to suit its construc
tion of the spirit of the constitution; is cstablish
mg a principle reverse of the majority passing
laws for the government of the whole —suitable
tor an Oligarchy, and not for a Democracy ; and
that, that state may continue in the Union on an
•'quality with tSc other sjatesi, and yet net be
(subject to that lav/, r-aou’.i the demand of Con
gress by the state tor the repeal or modification
of the supposed unconstitutional law, not bo
obeyed, is equally at variance with the republi
can principle, that the minority shall be subject
■o the laws of the major! y, so long as they con
stitute one government: vet this is South Caro
lina nullification; which so many plain, honest,
unthinking men, who are real advocates of re
publicanism, arc so deluded by sophistical rea
soning, as to believe io be the “safety valve” of
our republic.
That a more corrcc* opinion may be form
ed ofthe dangerous effects of nullification, upon
' our republican principles ; examine with care
the cause which lias brought that unfortuu-'
a?c doctrine into existence; and observe, if
it can be exercised in that ca , why may i: not
with equal propriety be made to operate upon
almost every law which Congress may enact.
Congress, acting perfectly within the pale of the
letter (though 1 cannot thin!: wi*hin the spirit) of
the constitution, passes the tariff act; and in im-j
posing duty on the different articles of importa- j
tion, so arranges thorn, as to afford incidental'
protection to domestic industry, which G a direct
protection in its effect, and which is impossible
to be avoided. .South Carolina, by theingcni-l
ons and false reasoning of her most influential;
statesmen, is led to behove that, that law is in
; violation of the spirit of the constitution; that if
:is oppressive an*l alarmingly partial in its ope
ration. In the consideration of this subject, it is
well to remember that this very unjust poliey of,
protection, was most ardently advocated, but
fifteen years ago, by llio very state and men, j
I who now prefer civil war, rather than submis-i
sion to such an unconstitutional and oppressive
system. However, now, from some cause, God'
alone knows what it is, .South Carolina thinks it
proper to believe quite the reverse ot her former
opinions; and endeavors to have the tariff act
{amended to her present views, by exerting the
! republican weapon of argumetv, but failing in
the use of such means, site seeks for others, and'
in her search nullification comes to light. Andj
this remedy she offers as an antidote to all our;
; politico 1 ills. If South Carolina has a right toj
• nullify such a law as the tariff; to what law ofj
| Congress will the same right not extend ? What I
law can the majority enact that the minority will
j not have a right to disregard or to have rescinded?
The will of the majority would have to succumb
to the objections of the minority. If this right
of nullification be essential t<> the existence of a
i free government, as i s advocates assert, it must
be acceded to, that the government of each one
ofthe states as free, must be subject to the appli
cation of the same principle, to constitute them
free governments; otherwise the citizens ofthe
states would be deprived of a right essential to
their freedom. —If tin’s ho granted, and 1 cannot
conceive by what “spiritual construction” the
nnllifiers cm avoid it: I need ask but one more
assent, to present to the world the novel, and to
ourselves the alarming fact,that now, and for the
last half century, the inhabitants of those United
States have been living under a government to
tally destitute of power. I ask, if the laws of the!
spates be subject to the conservative principle of,
nullification, has not every citizen a right to
nullify and disregard any law of the states,
which he may believe, ort-ven profess to believe
oppressive and unconstitutional 1 If South Caro
lina nullification he true, this siatc of our civil
affairs, is inevitable. And under sitcji a gov
ernment, who can question the right ofthe cul
prit, when condemned to bo hung, to exercise
!the right of nullifying the law, which pronounces
j his conduct criminal, ns oppressive and uncon
stitutional ? If nullification boa true principle in
our government, —its power is but fornt, and the
execution of its laws based on voluntary submis
sion. To suppose that a government can exist
without power to enforce its laws, is as great an
absurdity as a Republic, where the minority has
a right to control the laws and power of the ma
jority.—Vet this is the spirit and tendency of,
nullification, which is maintained by so many!
statesmen of talent, and I hope patriotism.—This!
is the lever by which our prosperous republic is;
to lie overturned, if it can obtain sufficient
weight. This is the “ monstrum horrendum”
{which is now striving for existence at the south;
i ho comes in an attire pleasing and attractive; he
'comes as the guardian of our rights as freemen :
ho tells us, we are oppressed and robbed of our!
property, contemned in our just complaints, and
fated to be fettered in the chains of slavery ; be
offers himself as a deliverer from all grievances;
lie tells us our blood shall 1-c spared, the peace
j of onr homes protected ; believe but on him, and
|the dark political clouds, which are now gather-,
ting over our happy land, shall be dispersed
! without the glimmering ofiiglitning or the roar
jof thunder. But he presents before us only the
vision of a maniac, or tlie wiles of a designing
[monster. His strength is in his craftiness—shear
him of that, and like Samson of old, he will yield
to our touch.
Permit me then, my follow citizens, in the
( conclusion of these remarks on the ruinous ef
fects and marked absurdity of this growing mon
ster, to warn you that he is now on our borders
—nay, has already obtained admission into our
state; and is actively seeking for support in our
midst —beware of him —and beware of those who
are nourishing him into strength—crush tiro
monster ere he obtains a living growth—shame
his advocates of their weakness and their folly,
and thus terrify others from espousing his cause.
I Believe me, he is a dangerousirrepublican mon
ster, his exterior is mild and prepossessing;
whilst his heart is black, and his designs dread
\ fu!——credit not his professions; lie tells you he
; will relieve you from the burden of the tariff,
can you believe him? has his friends shown a
desire to accept of relief and reduction, when re.’
i lief and reduction could have been obtained in
Congress? No, they, by their votes, testify their
desire to no such relief. -—M ith a vigilant eye
guard the movements of this monster, give him
;no resting place in our state, cxpcll him from!
within our limits—he says lie comes to aid us in
peace, but v-ar and desolation are in his train.
Nullification assumes to be a peaceable remedy
I for our evils, it has but flimsy trappings; blood
{shed and civil war are its consequences—Con
gross has power to enforce its laws, and enforce
them it will. Is it not folly, worse than folly,
to proclaim nullification to l>c a peaceful reme
dy?— As many may prefer a remedy which
brings war and bloodshed, rather then permit
lour Federal Constitution to be violated with im
punity; or rather than endure such taxation and
oppression, from the northern and western states,
as the nnllifiers tolls us to believe we arc; I shall!
endeavour to convince such that the nnllifiers;
are under as great an abberration of mind in|
their opinions on those subjects, as they are in l
: their doctrines of nullification.—Their attention'

ON THE CHOLERA.
A letter has been published from Dr. W. E. i
Channing to the editors ofthe New. York Couri- i
... I
cr, detailing the various successful results he had
produced in the treatment of Cholera by the use;
of Camphor. Letters from most respectable
I sources in New-York, state that the remedy con
tinued to be applied with the most beneficial ef
fects, and that the mode of treatment recoin
mended by Dr. Channing was found to bo more
successful than any hitherto tried. Tho confi-i
donee of tho writers of the letters referred to, in
the use of Camphor in the premonitory symp
toms, is unbounded, and their recommendation of
it to their fellow-citizcus equally strong. We re-,
publish the following extract from Dr. C’s
letter :
“Let those who are affected with any of the
usual premonitory symptoms, make trial of one
to three drops only ofthe unmixed spirits of cam
phor in a little water, repeated at intervals of an
hour, or two, for a few hours only, carefully
avoiding improper diet, all other medicine, and
especially evert/ form of opium ; and experience’
may convince them that cholera in this stage is
readily obviated without the aid of a physician.”
We publish also tho following extract of a let- \
ter from .a gentleman in New- York, copied from!
the Philadelphia National Gazette. It is stated,
by the editor of that paper to bo from a very re
spectable source. i
“Will you be implicitly guided by me—you
and your friends ? Ifyou will, dismiss your ter
rors, and adopt the following directions—name-!
ly ; Take one ounce of camphor, and dissolve it i
in half a pint of alcohol; of this solution, which ■
in quantity will serve a multitude of occasions, '
tho dose is only three drops on a lump of sugar;
dissolved in a small wine-glassful of water —the
sugar to make it palatable; the water to extend 1
the camphor over a larger space of tho stomach. 1
Here is no nostrum, no trick of empyricism. It;
is simple; but lot not its simplicity offend—for it
is effectual. Take no other medicines; and if
life .is to he saved by this treatment, touch noth
ing in the shape of opium-*-\t is the antipode of
camphor, and would destroy its efficacy.
“i)o not stagger at my recipe; it is a specific, j
Where no excess has been committed, norim
prudence of diet, nor the system been greatly;
debilitated by previous sickness or old age, three;
drops as directed on the occurrence of any of the:
premonitory symptoms of Cholera—such as
nausea, vomiting, cramps, or the most usual, di- :
arrhoca, —taken immediately, will relieve the
system. If the symptoms are obstinate, repeat :
the dose in about an hour. Incase of a sick
stomach, if the first dose is rejected, give a sec
ond dose precisely the same at intervals of five;
minutes by the table spoonful. The Cholera is|
a disease of stages, it never comes without no-i
tice; the first or premonitory stages are easily •
and safely, and complete!}’ cured by three drops'
of camphor. Taken in time, yon will not have!
the second or dangerous stage; and even in col-|
lapse it is the only sure remedy.
“Let no one having bowel complaint think it j
will go over harmlessly. It may; but there ist
danger, perhaps death in the contingency. Thej
three drops of camphor will compel! it to go off!
without injury, ninety-nine times in a hundred.!
I can testify personally to the truth of these |
statements.”
The remedy is a simple one—can do no harm, t
therefore ought to be generally resorted to. —

U. S. ship Boston. —We have been politely
favored by an officer of the U. States ship Bos
ton, vfith a let’er from Funchal, of which thej
following is an extract :
“ United States snip Boston. )
“ Funchal, (Madeira) July 4, 1832. $
“ In consequence of the alien'ions that we
received while at Lisbon, I cm certain that ma
ny false reports will be circulated, and many of;
those reports will be from English representa
i tion—l therefore give you the particulars of
j what occurred while we were in the Tagus.!
j The King of Portugal, while passing our ship, j
■ was saluted by our ship, by hoisting the Por-
jtuiruns? fiao nt our ftorerr.aS:, rind firing a saint
jof 21 guns. A short time after he expressed;
■wish, through his Minister of Foreign Affairs
’(the Viscount of Santarcm) to Mr. Brent, ou
'Charge, that he would bo pleased to recccive ;
[visit from the officers of our ship. According
ly a day was appointed (Tuesday, 19th June.
At cloven o’clock we waited on his Majesty, a
his palace of Ajuda—he received us with polite
ness, and requested Mr. Brent to introduce hin
to us individually, which was done. After ;
few compliments on both sides, he represser
himself well pleased with our visit. Capt, Sto
rcr then invited him, through Mr. B. to visi
our ship, which invitation he accepted, and suit
that he would notify Mr. B. tlirough his Minis
| ter, at what time it would suit him to do so. Wt
'then left him, well pleased with our visit. Tha
lafternoon lie passed our shin, and wo
him. Upon firing the first gun from our ship
lie hoisted the American flag at his fore, aac
ibacked his fore topsail. Ho returned our sa
il ate from his Yacht in person, with the same
i number, his fore toosad aback during his salute
ia tiling unprecedented for a King to return a
Isalute in person. When he finished his salute,
we manned our rigging, and gave him three
cheers in return for his salute—(when saluting
a foreign power th-.t flag is generally hoisted at
the fore.) The Viscount Santarcm, informed
Mr. Brent that windows were prepared for the
officers of the Boston to sec the procession of
Corpus Christ}, which took place on the 21st
June. Accordingly we went. We were treat
ed with marked politeness and attention —They
had refreshments prepared for us. The next
day Mr. B. was informed that the King (Doji
Miguel) would visit us on Monday the 25th June,
at 11 o’clock, at which time he came on board.
We manned our yards, and gave him three
cheers as lie came on hoard ; at the last cheer
wc gave him a salute of twenty-one guns. He
remained on hoard upwards of an hour; looked
into every thing; visited the ship in every part;
partook of refreshments prepared for him; ex
pressed himself well pleased, and gratified at his
reception. On leaving the ship he spoke, thro 5
Mr. B. to Capt. Storerto this effect, and in these
words: “I shall never forget this day- I shall
ever remember it with pleasure.”—lie spoke in
French. He then left the ship. As ho got into
his barque we again cheered him, and fired
another salute. As he left the ship we hauled
down his standard, which was hoisted asdiecamc
on board alongside of our pendant. - We had
Portuguese flags at our fore ami mizen. When
he finished his last salute we hauled down the
flags. He gave us throe cheers from his barge,
which was returned. I have dwelt longer on
I O
j this subject than it deserves, but as I have said
before, it is to be ready to meet misrepresenta
tions. This day the Governor visits our ship.
July Hth —Yesterday at 11 o’clock the Gover
nor of Madeira and suite visited our ship. We
gave him a salute of 17 guns. I think he is one
of the finest looking men I ever saw. Don Pedro
has two vessels oil this port —they were origin
ally merchant vessels—his forces were seen some
short time ago oil*the Western Isles. We sail
| this evening, or in the morning, I expect for
i Gibraltar.”
“P- S.—l omitted saying that, before we left
Lisbon a plot had been discovered, in conse
quence of which there was a very strict guard
(kept in the city. It was said that someemissa
jries of England had been bribing some folks tc:
iset fire to English agents bouses, as also the
English merchants. In consequence of this,
Miguel has ail English property well guarded.
England has done this no doubt to get some cine
on him, that she may take open steps in favor oi
Don Pedro.”

The Poor Indian. —By an act. of Congress, oi
14th July last, the appointment was provided foi
jof three commissioners, clothed with ample pow
lers, to visit and examine the country set apart
jl«r the emigrating Indians, west of the Missis
sippi, and to negotiate with them for the adjust
ment of any difficulties which may exist m the
j location of the lands; to ascertain the most ap
propriate places for such others as may wish t<
remove, and to report on the soil, climate, ant
capacity o! the country to support the numbei
who may probably remove to and reside on it; tr
convene - hostile tribes, negotiate treaties ol
peace, ami arrange all matters in dispute, so that
the emigrating Indians may have protection and
safety; and, finally, so report plans for the gene
ral improvement, comfort, and security of the
Indians.
One would have supposed that the fairest field
was here offered for the exercise of those phi
lanthropic feelings, for which some of the Socie
ty of Friends in Pennsylvania have been hono
rably distinguished; and the President, with that
soundness of judgment for which hois remarka
ble, naturally looked to Pennsylvania for aid in
enabling him to better the condition of “the poor
Indian,” and accordingly associated our towns
man Roberts Vaux in the commission with Gov
ernors Carroll and Stokes. We must confess it
is with surprise as well as regret that wo have
understood that Roberts Vaux declines the ap
pointment.
