TO tub: public.
1 have seen in “ The Journal of the Times,” a
letter from the lion. William 11. Crawford, ad
dressed to the Hon. Dennis L. Ryan, a member
of the present House of Representatives of Geor
gia. In whatever motives the correspondence
between these gentlemen may have originated,
it has for its object, the denunciation of Gov.
Lumpkin and myself, for certain alleged incon
sistencies, in relation to the great questions
which now engage the attention ol the people «l
Georgia. Upon this association of names, I will
simply remark, that if the resolutions adopted
by the Convention of the People, recently as
sembled at Milledgcvillc, have met with the ap
probation ol'Gov. Lumpkin, 1 have not enough
of the feelings of a partisan, to be dissatisfied
with them On that account —on the contrary, it
affords me gratification to believe, that they have
been so approved, by many patriotic and intelli
gent members of the party, with which he is as
sociated. My present business, however, is wuh
Mr. Crawford’s letter, or so much of it, as re
lates to myself. He professes to have no un
friendly feelings towards me, and states that the
relations bet ween us have always been amicable.
Vet, he comes, uncalled, before the public he
has voluntarily assumed the office'of an accuser,
and ins'ead of discussing the merits of the mea
sures adopted by the Convention, for which he
chooses to hold me responsible, he exhausts him
self in a vain and futile attempt to fasten upon
me the imputation of inconsistency. How fur
this may consist with Mr. Crawford’s notions of
amitv, or of amicable relations, 1 shall not stop
to enquire. On an occasion like this, lam equal
ly indisposed to court any man’s friendship, &
to deprecate anv man’s enmity. In uniting with
my fellow-citizens at Athens, and elsewhere, I
have exercised the right of a private citizen.
In participating in the- deliberations ol the Con
vention, I have discharged my duty as one of the
Delegates of the people of Monroe. For this,
the press has teemed with misrepresentations of
my conduct. Anonymous scribblers have given
free scope to their malignity, and men who, un
til now, have been implacable in their resent
ments, have buried their ancient feuds to unite
in the denunciation of an individual, who isusin
ditlerent to their spleen, as they are heartless in
their professionsofcCnfidencein each other. Mr.
Crawford has now thrown his weight into the
scale of my accusers. I will not say that Ido
not regret this. Mr. Crawford’s public charac
ter has been a source of just pride to the people
of Georgia, and I have participated in this feel
ing. 1 cannot, however, be unmindful ol the du
ty of self-defence, by submitting in silence to
these reiterated misrepresentations of my con
duct; but neither will I forget the respect which
I owe to myself, and to the public, by an exhibi
tion of the arrogance and the acrimony, which
have characterised these accusations.
1 1r. Crawford’s general charge is inconsisten
cy.—His specifications are two-told.
' Ist. He asserts, that the sih Resolution adop.
ted by the Convention, recognizes the doctrine
of Nullification —and that notwithstanaingthis, I
did at Athens and elsewhere, declare my hostili
ty to this doctrine.
2d. He refers to the Resolution oi that body,
which recommends a Southern Convention, and
then adverts to an address delivered by me to the
citizens of Burke, in which I expressed thcopin
ion, that a Southern Convention was unconstitu
tional, unless it was intended to be consultative
& recommendatory only, in which casa it would
be harmless from its imbecility.
I design to state these charges truly, and in
all their force—extenuating nothing—setting
down naught in malice—and refraining from the
indulgence of the feeling, which such an attempt
to misrepresent my conduct, is calculated to a
waken. The latter task is rendered less difficult,
from the conviction, that the effort is harmless,
and that its impotence may be demonstrated.
1 begin bv an admission. —1 have, on all pro
per occasions, declared my inability to acquiesce
in ;he doctrine of Nullification. 1 did so before
the meeting of ‘he I’on veil ion. 1 made the
same declara'ion in the discussion ot the resolu
tions in Committee. I have repeated it since,
and I reiterate it now. If I could have gone
one step further, and have denounced those irho
did maintain the doctrine, 1 should probably have
been spared the trouble of penning these re
marks. This, however, I have uniformly refus
ed. On the contrary, I have often and publicU
declared, (and the declaration, 1 doubt not, has
greatly aggravated my offence.) that there were
among the advocates of this doctrine, men as
pure, as patriotic, and as intelligent, as those w,io
differed from them. 1 have refused to join in
the denunciation of the people of South-Carol ina
—I have considered that we had the same griev
ances to complain of, and that the community of
our interests, made it the duty of each to con
ciliate, rather than to offend. I could not con
vince myself of the propriety of the remtsdy, to
they were about to have recourse ; but I
’elt that they and we were struggling against a
common oppression, and I did not believe it to be
the dictatcof patriotism, to unite myself with those,
who were alike hostile to them and to us. J
sought rather by a firm, yet temperate course of
action in Georgia, to present to South-Carolina
a position, on which she could have retired with
out dishonor, and to all the Southern States a
rallying point, from which, without jeopardizing
the Union, they might unitedly and efficiently
, have repelled the usurpations of which we com
r plain. It is my firm conviction, that this desir
- able result has been prevented, only by division
among ourselves-. What other evils may follow
, in the train of those dissensions, which are still
r so zealously fomented, time will discover; bCt
>
thus far, the want of union at home, has been
fatal to the best hopes of patriotism.
I have admitted, that in the very act of discuss
r ing and supporting the resolution specified by
Mr. Crawford, I declared my dissent from the
doctrine of Nullification. Does that Resolution
then proclaim this doctrine ?—Such is Mr. Craw
ford’s assertion—and he tells i-s, that if this is not
so, he is “ no judge of the English language.” 1
have certainly no desire to press this alternative
hut even at the hazard of such a consequence,
(since he wills it,) { affirm, that the resolution re
ferred to, does not assert the doctrine of Nullifi
cation. Let us see what it is, which this resolu
tion does affirm : It asserts three things—
-Ist. '1 hat in a confederate 1 Government, the
, powers of which are expressly limited by the
Constitution, it is essential that there should
exist some-where, a power authoritatively to
interpret that instrument, to decide in the last
resort, on tile use or abuse of the authority
which it confers on the common agent of the
confederating States.
2nd. That tills power cannot belong to the a
gent.
3rd. That in the absence of a common ar
biter,expressly designated by the Cons;itution,
. each S'ate, as such, for itself, and virtue of ils
sovereignty, is necessarily remitted to the ex
ercise of that, right.
Which of these propositions dose Mr. Craw
ford deny? If the first, then the limitations of
the Constitution are useless—since there exists
no where a power to interpret an! enforce
them.
If the second—‘he same consequence will
1 follow—for the agent who is entrusted with the
execution of these powers, will be the sole judge
of his own conduct.
The third affirms, that each State, fir itself
an 1 in virtue of its sovereignty, has the right
to interpret the Constitution—to decide in the
last resort, on the use or abuse of the powers
conferred on the common a^ent. —Does Mr.
Crawford deny this? If so, the same conse
quence will still follow. Tlie limitations of the
const!.ution will be a dead letter. But if this
proposition be denied, we must blot from our
records every legistr.dve opinion on this sub
ject. We mui withdraw from the archives of
, the Senate of the United States, the solemn pro.
test which we have deposited there. What is
1 the language ofthe Legislature in 1827 ? “They
affirm that those who create a delegated Go
vernment, have lawfully the power to restrain
it within proper bounds.” They affirm “ that
the proper constituents of the General Govern
ment, are the States—and the States are to that
Government, what the people are to the States.”
In 1828, they use this language—“ The
States respectively have, therefore, in the opin
ion of your committee, the unquestionable right,
in case of any infraction of the general com
pact, or want of good faith in the performance
of its obligations, to complain, remonstrate, A:
even to refuse obedience to any measure of the
General Government, manifestly against, and in
violation of the Constitution, and in short, to
deck redress of I heir wrongs * hy all the means
right fully exercised by a sovereign and indepen
sent Government .” What again was the lan
guage of the protest of 1828 ? The Legisla
ture of Georgia protested against the Tariff act
cf that year, as unconstitutional— demanded its
repeal—and required that their protest should
be deposited among the archives of the Senate,
to serve as a perpetual testimony, if the conduct
of the Federal Government, “ should render
necessary, measures of a decisive character,
for the protection of the people of the State,
and the vindication of the Constitution of the
United States.” Is this Nullification ? No.
But it is tiie assertion in the broadest terms, of
the right of one of the sovereign States of this
Union, to decide for itself; and in the last re
sort, on the compact into which it has entered
with the co-States. We do not now require a
definition of Nullification, to rove that these
propositions arc not co-exlen-:ve with the doc
trine which it asserts. The events which are
in progress on the other side of Savannah river,
will inform us, that South-Carolina docs not
merely claim the right to decide for herself, that
a specific power has not been conferred by the
Federal Constitution ; for thus far, there is no
diversity between the Legislatures of Soulh-Ca
rolina and Georgia ; ami this is the language of
the resolution which Mr. Crawford quotes. But
South-Carolina, moreover, claims to enforce this
decision upon her co-States, and remaining in
the Union, in the enjoyment of all her privi
letjes, to refuse obedience to a law enacted in
the alleged exercise of that power, un il a new
and explicit urant of such power shall bo made
by the cons iturional majority of the States in
■ General Convention assembled. Such a doc
trine his never (so far as 1 am informed) been
ass Tted by the Legislature of Georgia, and cer--
Vnlv cannot be found in the resolution refer
red to. 1 believe I may now safely leave this
■ part of the subject. The fifth resolution asserts
1 the rinht of a State to decide upon infractions of
■ the Constitution, and this the Legislature of
Georgia have repeatedly affirmed, but it no
where asserts the right of a State to nullify a
law, and practically to enforce this decision up.
on her co-States, by remaining in the I nion.
■ and refusing obedience to such law, until the re
i quisite number of States shall concur in a new
, an d substantive grant of the power to enact such
a j avv —and this is Nullification.
Mr. Crawford’s seccnd charge is, that I have
advocated a Southern Conven ion, while acting
* as a member of tlie State Convention, and that
in an address to the People of Burke, I express
ed.the opinion, that a Southern Convention was
i unconsti utional, unless it was consultative and
recommendatory only, in which case, it might
be harmless from its imbecility. Now, what I
■ desire to have understood in foe first plac*> is.
, that the Southern Convention recommended by
i the Convention at Miliedgevifle, is merely “ con
i' sultative and recommendatory.” The resolu
tions propose that the measures recommended
by the Southern Convention should be first sub-
I mitted to the State Convention, and if adopted
hy them, should be finally referred to the peo
pie of the State of Georgia, for their approval
or rejection. The proposed Southern Conven
tion was, therefore, to be strictly a consultative
body, and was consequently not obnoxious to
the charge of being unconstitutional, upon the
principles laid down in the address to the people
of Burke. The first part of this charge of in
consistency, is then disposed of. The second
admits of an answer, which is equally plain.
Mr. Crawford will agree, that other opinions,
as well as those which are judicial, must be un
derstood with reference to the subject matter
under discussion. The question, at the time of
the meeting in Burke, was between a State rind
a Southern Convention. 1 believed, that in case
of an infraction ofthe Constitution, the 'people of
a State could only net legitimately in a Conven
tion of the Slate, since that was the power, by
which the Constitution Was ratified : until that
power was called into existence, I thought it was
merely useless to send Delegates to a Southern
Convention, since all legitimate action must be
had in a Convention ofthe State. If a South
orn Convention had been called before the State
Convention was organized, I should therefore
have considered it useless, because of its imbe
cility'—but this did not prevent me from believ
ing it to bo useful ns a means of concentrating
the views of the Anti Tariff States, and as au
xiliary to a State Convention already organiz
ed, and competent to act upon its recommenda
tions, if they were-approved by the latter,
and by the people. The error -of this accusa
tion arises from a want of attention to time and
circumstances. When the question was, wheth
er we should have a State or Southern Conven
tion, 1 believed that the latter alone, if organiz
ed for action, would be unconstitutional, and if
for consultation merely, would, unaided by a
State Convention, be imbecile and useless. I
thought it was first proper to organize the lat
ter ; and that it was the province of the people
thus assembled in their own State Convention,
to determine whether they would confer with
their sister States, in a Southern Convention ;
but when the State Convention was organized
an 1 competent to act, in order that its action
might be deliberate and prudent, it seemed to
me proper, to take counsel with our sister States,
having a common interest with us in this mat
ter; and that, I thought, coull be most effi
ciently done, through the medium of a Southern
Convention.
I have, I trust, relieved myself from the
charges of inconsistency, alleged agains' me by
Mr. Crawford. I hope I have done so, with the
respect which is due to the public, to whom,
thus called upon, it has become my duty to ad
dress myself. The fact of Mr. Crawford’s con
sistency or mi. e, is indeed utterly unimportant,
in the decision of the very grave and interest
ing questions which now agitate the public
mind. But no man is bound to submit to un
merited accusation. In repelling that which
has been preferred against me, I have studiously
confined mvself within the limits of self-defence
