8 T/l.t the people of Georg a are sincerely attached |
•o the I'- irml Constitution, and to the union of these
(.; .tc«. which it creates and guarantees —that they coo- j
tnier it as a pr»*<- »us inheritance received from tueir ,

ty : that they arc ever ready to peril their fortunes and
their lives m ns defence, and would deeply deplore its
dissolution as an event alike inauspicious to themselves,
and to the cause of civil liberty throughout the world.
That actuated by these b elin.'s, and even amid the dilli
culiies which b.-set them, n.t despairing of the Repub- I
lie, th.-v « i! still |o r-t-vi re in the n=e of every proper

w ill reduce and canalize the duties on foreign imports, :
ho as id bring the income of the G ivrinmcnl within the
limits of re venue, and to collect the contributions of our
citizens on the pri ic pies of just taxation. That having
regard to the interests of those whose capital has been
invested in manufactures, during the progress of that >
course of leg -lation of which tin y complain, the- are
willing that the reduction and equalization of duties
which they ;.s‘. should be prosnec iv. and gradual, and
fearfully admon-shed, as they liav ; been by experience of
the fallacy »f their past b .pcs for relief from the evils
under which they suffer; they will still look to the justice
and patriotism of their brethren of the manufacturing
states.
<j Ti r ,t the people » Georgia cannot submit to the
permanent protection of domestic manufactures by duties
imposed for that purpose on the importation of foreign
manufactures and espiecia Iv on such as are among the
necessaries of life :—that they cannot submit to the ad
option oi flic principle on which such duties are imposed,
a permanent principle <>t federal policy—but will feel
hound to resist the s inif by the exercise <>t ail their
rights as one o! the sovereign members of this eonfe.le

states, having like interest with themselves, and dispos

tiere being no farther business presented for con
i;ccranon,
Ga motion, the Convention adjourned until the first
Monday in July next.
Tne following extracts, taken from the-Globe of the .
.i. i. go to prove how far the theory of nullification <
attempted in the days of Mr. Vadison. If the ne
r_ 3- ' su PP‘-es .or carrying on the war could not be re- (
11 would seem reasonable that our system of <
1 c no* he resisted note. Put suppose Mr. i
Morr.a* theory had prevailed, w hat wouia Lave been the
situation of our country then ? and with equal earnestness,
we ask. suppose Mr. Calhoun's theory to succeed note,
and what will be ihe condition of these United States a
few years hence ?
Mr. Morris, it will be observed, endeavors to
compel Mr. o_'den to believe, that the nation
w;is not bound to pnv the debt incurred in its
defence, under the authority of Congress. His
argument is, that the Representatives of the
people, ns their agents, can impose no obliga
tion on their principals, lo pay for committing
crimes—and he holds that if was a great crime,
to kill the British sent among us to cut our
throats.
This reasoning of Mr. Morris is very much
of a pn-ce with Mr. Calhoun's upon the subject
of nullification. Mr. Calhoun holds that the
General Government, as the agent of the Slates,
is invested with an authority which any one of
them has a right to withdraw ; and what is much
worse, that any one of the States as a principal,
has a right to disavow and annul the act of the
agent, which tha* agent has performed under
the authority of the whole. The principals,
that is the States, are considered as partners by
Mr. Calhoun, and he assumes the extraordina
ry ground that one partner, has the right to ren
der void .ar. act of their common agent, which
all the vest consider valid, ll such doctrine
were admitted as the law of partnerships, we
think that it would, in effect, be a dissolution of
all partnerships. No such principle has ever
been recognized in relation to individual part
, nerships, and much less can if he allowed in a
' partnership of States in a common Government.
Ret us apply Mr. Calhoun’s principle to his
own doings in South-Carolina. The State Go
; vernment is the agent of the people of South-
Carolina. The Union men, as weli as the Nui
lifiers, are the constituents of the Government,
and each individual is a partner in the common
concern. The nullifiers, having obtained the
State [lower, as the agen s of th r - people, do
: dare the acts of the General Government void.
The Union men on their side, as having a part
nership interest in the Slate Government, disa
vow in turn, the acts of the mi/iifiers as their a
\ xcnlx —and what right can the nullifying agents,
upon their own principles, assert over the free
Principals who disavow their acts ar i assume
them to be void ?
There is another consideration which Mr.
Calhoun has overlooked, that Mr. Morris’s letter
will aid him in surmounting. IfSouth Carolina
nullifies the revenue laws and contributes noth
ing to the treasury of the nation, with what pro
priety can her Vick President, Senators,
Rki’resi'.sentatives and public officers look to
thegen ral Government for compensation for
their strvie ‘S. Will Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Me-
Duffie, Messrs. Haync and Miller come to
Washington—insist that South Carolina is not
hound to pay a farthing into the public Treasu
ry, and yet put their hands into it, to supply their
own individual pockets as the Representatives of
•the non-contributing State ? They will find am
p!',‘ vindication fbrsiudi a course m llie letter ot
Mr, Morris, which we publish for their benefit
to-day. lie thought all New England ought to
he exempt from paying any portion of a debt,
incurred in a war in defence of the rights oi the
sailors and commerce of New England. The
New England Slates kicked the Government (to
use their own expression) into the war, and were
willing to sever the I men, to get rid of its con
sequences.—Mr. Calhoun originated the protec.
ting Tariff and Internal Improvement System,
and would nullify the revenue laws to escape the
common burden, while he would tax the 1 rcasu
ry for the benefit of those who would deprive it of
supplies.
Disunion! —The London Public Ledger”
comments upon the signs in the I . States and
predicts that the Umon is tumbling to pieces.
Let us hearken to the language it uses, and let
us profit hv the lesson it teaches us.
“ 'flic republic of the U. States, which cer
tain patriots of this country, not very remark
able for their wisdom, extol as a perfect model
of liberal and popular government, is fast go
ing to pieces, li is not yet fifty years old ; hut,
like; a precocious genius, grown gray even be
fore he has reached the years ol discretion, its
body is bent, its locks are silvery, its powers arc
exhausted, and iis whole frame is sinking into
decay.”
What sav vc, friends ol the I mon, is this
[ n)e ?—[s our power exhausted ! and is our
whole frame sinking in;o decay ? Prudence
forbid !
Asiin : —“ The southern States ( Stales 1) of
Carolina have virtually declared tear against
those of New. England, and are resolved to
throw off the yoke ol the federative Union,
Thev complain of arbitrary and unjust inter
ference on the part of the latter states, with
their rights of property, and the slave labor by
which that property is rendered of any value.
Thev complain of tiie tariff, which ope rates ns
a bonus in favor of the manufactures of the
northern states, while it shackles the industry
and imposes undue restraints upon the com
merce of the Carol inns. 'Phe latter are conse
quently dissatisfied and exasperated in the high
est degree. Tit ;v are no: content wi h merely
remonstrating—they are not solaced by simply
submitting their grievances to Congress—‘hey
speak plainly out. and they menace the Federa
tive Assembly with rebellion and a dismember
ment ot the Union.''
War! Disme/n'/ermrnf of the Union ! What
sounds are these ? Can there be any thing in
them ? Are w e really approaching such a cri
sis ! Heaven toroid ! But let us awake and a
void such an aw fur catastrophe.
Richmond Compiler.
In the South. —There is some discussion in the
Columbia Telescope about the modus operand! of
Nullification. *• Jonathan ” obj ects to the appeal
to the Courts, and is for taking rGore direct and
energetic measures of redress, she Editor of
the Telescope, on the contrary, declares that
“ As fur judicial conflicts, they are precisely our
aim—our hope. Between adverse courts'. °ne
of which has but a marshal or two. no jail anJ no
posse, while the other is sustained by the whoie
body of the State and people, the contest cannot
be very long. Georgia has seen such a contest :
where are the missionaries ?—where dVssuls ?”
—There is. another remark ot the Telescope,
wliich is also entitled to no'ice. It answers a
qucs'ion which has frequently been pi:: o us-:
“ W e object, however, to any c< i ntionaf
nullification—to anv declaration, that tue Tariff
is unconstitutional, oppressive, tyrannous: and
vet shall be borne by our citizens, till we give
Congress one more chance of taking it otf. The
time for such compliances is passed. They would
onlv make the manufacturers believe anew, that
we are not in earnest: or they would beget some
despicable compromise, that would cheat us out
of our principle, and which the north would
seize the very earliest opportunity to break.”
E contra. —A correspondent ofthc Charleston
Citv Gazette, examining the other side of the
question, touching the remedies on the part of
the United States, investigates the provisions of'
tiie iuws of it 92, and 1803, and introduces
the following remarks :
“It was under this (Act of 1793) that General
Washington acted against the Pennsylvania in
surgents. It was re-enacted on 23th Februa
ry, 1793, while he was still President, nnd is
now the statute in force on the subject.—Before
noticing Fs details, and the circumstances of the
whiskey rebellion, it is important to remember
the law enacted under Mr. Jefferson's Adminis
tration, in regard to the army nnd navy. On
the 3d March, 1307, that f.-under of republican
ism, (now so much eulogised bv those who long
vilified -him as a man. a patriot, and a politician,)
put his official signature to the following act:
“ In oil eases of insurrection or other obstruction
to the laics, either of the United States, or o f any
individual Stale or territory, where it is lawful
for the President to call forth the militia for the
purpose of subduing such insurrection, or ot
causing the laws to be dulv executed, it shall be
lawful for him to employ, for the same pur
poses, such part of the land or naval force of
the Unfed States as shall bo judged necessary,
having first observed all the prerequisites of the
law in that respect.”— Rich. Enquirer.
Mr. Samuel McKean, who heads the Jackson
Electoral Ticket of Pennsylvania, has published
a letter to the Editor of the Montrose Register,
{dated on the September.) saving that “ a
deep-laid plot" ;s u foot to transfer “ a part, it
not the whole o :he electoral vote of Pennsyl
vania to Mr. \an Buren.” He is vehemently
opposed to \ . B. of whom he speaks with great
asperity ; declares that he never will vote for
him ns V. P. under any circumstances —and
that if he should be induced to look for n \ . P.
out of t lie Ft ate, he would decidedly prefer P.
P. Barbour of Virginia.— lbid.
FROM THE BOSTON COCKIER OF NOV. 1 tl.
Death of Dr. Spurzheim. —'Phis distinguished
scholar and philosopher died at his lodgings in
Pearl -street, on Saturday night about 11 o’clock.
He had been indisposed for some weeks, inso
much that he suspended his lectures before he
had quite completedthe first contemplated course.
His indisposition assumed a more alarming as
pect about ten days ago, and was followed by an
inflammation in some of the vital parts, and a
brain fever. We understand that ids remains
will be removed to-morrow to Cambridge, and
that a funeral ceremony wiil take place in the
chapel of Harvard University. Wc have not
i >
learned ihe particulars of the intended ceremo
nies, but it is presumed that, the decease of so
celebrated a foreigner, and one w ho, during his
brief residence among ns had .gained the esteem
and affection of the learned and scientific, will
be honored with an appropriate eulogy, and a
respectful interment in tiie new cemetery at
Mount Auburn.
Many will feel the truth of ’ho following re
remarks from an anonymous co 'respondent.
“ The amiable and gifted t-q urzheim no
more! How many hearts, in thiv comilhillity,
• bleed at the announcement, as if the ties of’ kin
dred ware severed! Our friend had indeed cap
tivaterl the affections of those who listened with
intense interest to the teaching of his philoso
phy as they fell warm and moving from his lips.
His deep interest in human nature knit between
him and his fellow beings a s’ron j bond of bro
tberboo l. To the inquiring mind bis acct-nts
were like the familiar converseof one long ktxvvvn
and deeply beloved. No feeling spirit could
fail to catch the benevolent impulse which in
.spired him. And now that the fiat of a myste
rious, but good Providence has called him hence,
- who can restrain a spontaneous sentiment of
sadness? Who can doubt that his beatified spirit
has gone to the mansion of that Father, whose
goodness A: wisdom he so labored to make mani
fest, whose laws be so reverenced and whoso
truth he so truly adored.
W e cannot but feel that it is no stranger whom
we mourn ; it is a friend, a dear, respected, ad
mired friend. Sadly and reverently do we Iv
ins remains in a foreign hut free land, but his no
ble character, benevolent enterprize, and holy
enthusiasm shall live undiminished in the sanctu
ary of our affectionate remembrance.”
