Wo have understood, that In order toi
j induce the Cherokee delegation not to
leave the city without the settling ot tne
controversy, the President agreed to give
ihem the enormous sum of two and a
half millions! They refused, calculating,
no doubt, upon forcing him to give more.
We perceive it announced in a Geor
gia Journal, that ihe counsel for the Che
rokees are about taking steps to bring up
the question again. This is, no doubt, in
conformity with arrangements made here,
or directions proceeding from this place.

The Revenue Collection J2ct.... The reader
will find on our first page this Act, which in its
origin and progress has been denounced by its
opposers as "the bill to repeal the Constitution,"
"the enforcing bill;" "the Boston port bill,"
"the bloody bill," &c. As it has already been,
and probably will continue to be for some time,
in conjunction with the nullification and procla
mation doctrines, the theme of fruitful discussion,
we thought it advisable to present it entire to our
readers, that they might judge for themselves of
its provisions. I he following is a statement ol
the votes by States, on the final passage of the
bill. It will be recollected that the Senators op
posed to the bill, with the exception of Mr. ly-
Jer ot Va. absented themselves when the final
vote was taken.

Georgia and the Cherocees... Under this head
in a late U. S. Telegraph we find some remarks,
from which we extract the following:
We shall have the mortification of see
ing the head of our Government refusing
to execute the laws which he himself call
d upon Congress to pass, and which he
signed, if he did not approve or we
shall be cursed with the horrors of a civil
war; or the people will have to be taxed
to pay to the Cherokecs ten times the va
lue of their land.
The Cherokees now feel that they have
the control of events in their own hands;
and Mr. Worcester and the missionaries
may now operate on Georgia, at their
own will and pleasure, since they have
the strong arm of Andrew Jackson to
support them.
It is generally understood here, that
certain sections of the bloody bill were
introduced expressly to cover the Chero
kee case. As it was believed that the
Cherokee delegation were fully authori
zed to sell their land, and as there was
some prospect of a sale being made,
there was less repugnance to the intro
duction of these sections, than there
would have been under different circum
stances. The delegation, either aware
of the movement, or being directed by
those who were so, played their game ac
cordingly, until the President was so far
committed that he had no retreat. They
then very coolly told the Secretary of
War that they would go home and con
sult their people. It is understood that
the delegation came to Washington pre
pared to take six hundred thousand Hnl-
lars; but immediately on the passage of
lU. Ll 11 Ml .1 . O
moony Din, uiey saia mat Mey could
not think of taking less than five millions
for their land; eight times as much as it
is worth.
South Carolina. The second Con
vention met at Columbia, agreeably to
appointment, on the 12ih instant, and was
opened by an address from the I resident
He stated the object of the meeting, and
said, that if the act modifying the Tarifi
"isnot in all respects satisfactory, as com
ing up to that measure of justice to which
the South had a fair claim, and is liable
to some important objections, it ncverthe
less provides for the commencement of
an early though gradual amelioration ot
that system, against which we have so
long complained, and for an ulterior re
cognition of the constitutional principles
upfrn which our rights are assumed to
rest. i he f resident attributed tins
measure of compromise to the spirited
doings of this Convention. The enfor
cing act, he said, will stand as a dead
letter on the statute book, but shews that
the character of our Government is chan
ged, and that a military despotism is pla
ced at the disposal of the Executive,
which must not pass without notice by
the Convention. The President conclu
ded by resigning his situation as Presi
dent of the Convention, and Gov. Uaync
was elected in his stead.
On the 14th, the Committee to whom
was referred the communication of B. W.
Leigh, Esq. Commissioner from the
State of Virginia, and ail other matters
connected with the subject, and the
course which should be pursued by the
Convention at the present important cri
sis of our political affairs, made a Report
(in part) recommending the adoptiou of
the following Ordinance:
"Whereas, the Congress of the United States,
by an act recently passed, has made such a re
duction and modification, of the duties upon for
eign imports, as amounts substantially to an ulti
mate reuuctionot the duties to the revenue stan
dard, and that no higher duties shall he laid than
may be necessary lo defray the economical ex
penditures of the Government:
" is therefore Ordained and Declared,
That the Ordinance entitled "An Ordinance to
Nullify certain acts of the Congress of the Uni
ted Slates, purporting to be laws laying duties on
the importation of loreign commodities," and all
acts passed in pursuance thereof, be henceforth
deemed and held lo have no force or effect; pro
vided that the act entitled "an act further to al
ter an amend the militia laws of this Slate," pas
sed on ihe. 20th day of December, 1S32, shall re
main in force until it shall be repealed or modi
fied by the Legislalurc.
"On motion of Col. Wilson, these were order
ed to he printed, and made the order of the day
for to-morrow."
A resolution was adopted, appointing a
committee to wait on the Senators and
Representatives in Congress, to ohtain
Qimivtitu ,y obi, i t,j i v illllliri ill II I Ul U
ceedings of the General Government to
wards South Carolina, in consequence of
the Ordinance of nullification. A reso
lution was offered, which requires nil offi
cers to be hereafler elected "to take an
oath of paramount allegiance to the State
of South Carolina" this was referred to
the committee of twenty-one. A resolu
tion passed, assigning B. V. Leigh, Esq.
a seat within the bar of the Convention
also, that the Convention should re
ceive Mr. Leigh, "standing and uncov
ered." The Union Convention, called to meet
in Charleston on the 18th inst. is found
to be unnecessary, and will not be held.
Political Creed. ...The Richmond Enquirer
contains an article under this head, in reply to a
correspondent, from which we extract the follow
ing. We presume it may be looked upon as an
exposition of the Virginia doctrines of '98, by
the Virginia politicians of the present day profes
sing the same faith:
We believe, the Federal Constitution
to be formed by the people of the seve
ral States, acting as States.
We believe, that the sovereignty be
longs to the people of each State that
in the exercise of this sovereignty, they
have constituted a State government,
with one set of trustees or agents to ad
minister certain sovereign power auu
that by compact with the people of the
other States, they have created another
goverument for carrying into effect cer
tain other limited powers, which have
been specified in the Federal Constitution.
We believe, the grants of these latter
nnwfirs s hould be strictly construed, be
ing limited by the plain sense and inten
tion ot tne oonsutuiion.
Wc believe, that the States alone are
parties to this compact; that there being
no supreme tribunal superior to the au
thority of the parties, they have a right,
and are bound, to judge how far their fe
deral agents have observed or violated
the compact.
We believe, that when any one State
shall deliberately decide the compact io
have been palpably and dangerously in
fringed, she is bound to interpose for ar
resting the progress of the evil.
As to the mode of interposition, we
firmly believe that no one State has the
right to nullify a law of the United States;
that the effect of this would be, to bring
back the very imbecility of the Confede
ration, which the present Constitution
i was intended to remedy; and to subject
ft l n ITn!ni i t-. r V ( 4 r I 1 1 -i n r ri o t r n nnii nf
dissolution.
We believe that the modes in which a
State should iuterpose, are, first an ap
peal to Congress by a change of Rep
resentatives in Congress and in the Exe
cutive, through the ballot-box an ap
peal of .the aggrieved State through her
own Legislature to Congress to her sis
tor States by an amendment of the Con
stitution itself by a consultation and
concert among the aggrieved States in
Convention or otherwise and by a Gen
eral Convention. But when all these ex
pedients fail; when nil the amicable and
constitutional expedients are exhausted,
then it becomes tiic duty ot tne State to
warn her sister States of her intention,
and to secede from the union.
vc ueueve, inereiore, witn our cor
respondent, that Nullification deserves to
be exploded, and that the sentiment of
all the States, with the exception of South
Carolina, has exploded it; but that Seces
sion on the other hand docs not deserve
a similar fate that it will not be explo
ded that it was a right expressly reser
ved by our own Convention, at the time
they ratified the Constitution that it is
a great conservative principle to protect
the sovereignty of the States against ex
treme oppression that, in such a case it
is the only rightful remedy and at the
same time wc view it a Philip P. Bar
bour docs: "I would say in relation to it,
(secession) as 1 heretofore said, that as
in cases of physical malady arsenic is
never administered, but when the patient
is otherwise utterly despaired of; so in
those of a political character, this remedy
suouuj oe appnca only in cases ot hope
less extremity."
(LThe President of the United States,
in an Address from a Committee of
friends of the Administration in Connec
ticut, is invited to visit New England
the President in the following terms inti
mates an intention to make such a visit in
the course of the present or next year:
"Could any thing add to the desire I have Ion
indulged to visit New England and examine the
republican institutions which her sons have rais
ed up with so much public spirit and success, it
vyould be the satisfaction I should expect to de
rive from a personal intercourse with the citi
zens themselves. I am at present unable to say
when I can embrace an opportunity to gratify
this desire; hut I trust it may be in my power in
the course of the present or next year.
