THE MINERS- AND PARIMERS’ JOURNAL. Cnrolina ; to no other can such ap|i«als l>o made with salety ut any time; and to their decuions, whencunstilutioiially pruouuored, It becomes the duty, no Iush ot' tlic public authoiitied, than of the peop|«, in every cose to yield a patriotic subwit^ioii. 'I'hataState.orany other great portion of the poopie, sutiering under !on^ and intol erable oppiesition, and having tried all cou* cititutionai remedies withuut the hope nf re dress, nmy have a natural right, when thuir happiiK Ss can be no others iw' !>ecurcd, nnd when they can do so without greater injury to others, to absolve thvmseUes from their obligations to the Governiiient, ami appeal to il>e Inst resiort, needii not, on the proi>eut occa^iion, be denied. The existence of this right, however, must depend upm the cause which umy justify its exercise. It is the ultima ratio, which presupiKJses that ti>e proper Hppt-als to nil other means of redress have been n)aJe in good failh, and which can never be riyhtfui- Iv resorted to unless it uiiiivoiHuble. It scarcely l>e denied that the iM a recimrse to the Judiciary doubttjdiy, is the remedy deem the acts of Congress laying duties on iinporlsiind ptovidiiiy for theircullcctuin, to be unconstitutional.

C., aod is mbeolute and unconditional in its terms, the sddress conveys only the senti ments of the convention, in no binding or practical form; one is the act of the State, the other only the expression of the opin- ons of the members of tb« convention.— To limit the effect of that solemn act by tny terms or conditions whatever, they shoo'd have been embodied in it, and made of import no less authoritative than the act itwlf. By the positive enactments of the ordinaace, the execution of the laws cf the Unien is absolutely prohibited; and the ad- drf«8 ofiers no other prospect of their be ing again restored, even in the modified form proposed, than what depends upon the improbable contingency, that amid chang ing events and increasing excitement, the sentiments of the present members of the convention, and of their successors, will re main the same. It is to be regretted, however, that these conditions, even if they had been oflered in the same binding form, are so un defined, depend upon so many contingen cies, and are so directly opposed to the known opinions and interests of the great body of the American people, as to be al- HMKt hopeless of attainment. The majori ty of the 8utes, and of the people, will certainly not consent that the protecting duties shall be wholly abrogated, never to be re-enacted at any future time, or in any po8sibl« contingency. As little practicable IS It to provide that “the same rale of dutj shall be imposed upon the protected arti cles that shall be imposed upon the unpro tected which, moreover, would be so op pressive to the poor, and, in time of war, rendered, is necessarily subji’cted to lim-, . .. k k ' ► would add greatly to its rigors.

However it may be alleged, that a viola tion of Ihe compact by the measures of the (iovemment can efTcct the obligations of Ihe parties, il cannot even be preirnded that such violation can be predicated of th'ise measures until all the constituiional remedies shall have f^een fully tried.
