THK MINERS' AND FARMRKS’ JOURNAL. relative to amendments, ihe word potrcr does not occur—it declares that “ amend ments” “ shall be valid,” “ when ratified by the Ifgislaturcs of three fourths of the sev- oral states, or by conventions in ihrce fourths thereof.” U«'trenching A power of Con gress, is as much an aniendnient, as conter- ring a power; and therefore to be valid, iDUfit require llte same number of votes.— When u convention is called, to pro|)09e a- mendnients relative to a power claimed by the majority, and deniel by the minority, it is evident that the final decision must de pend altogether on the form in which the amendment is submitted to the states. If the amendment proptwes to give the power, the power will be loet, because a small minority issutiicient to reject it; and for the same reason, the power will be sanctioned, if the amendment proposes to take it away. I'he form of the amend ment then bi-ing absolutely decisive, and cach piirty having an equal right to sup port its own construction, it is the height of extravagance to expect, that a majority maintainin;5 the constitutionality of the power, would agree to incur certain defeat, by soliciting a grant, w hich they knew that a minority exceeding one fourth was pre determined to refuse. It is already we think sufficiently proVed, that a minority exceeding one fourth, has not the constitutional right to impose its own construction on a majority. Put there is a farther evidence w hich appears to us so sinking, that it would be improper to pass entirely without notice. If the fra mers of the constitution designed, that such a minority slmuld have the right of laying an interdict on the exercise of any power which it considered unconstitutional, why did not those framers plainly say so ? Why did they not indicate the manner, in which that ri>rht was to be enforced 7 There was no motive, no apology for a mysterious si- lem e. '1‘hey might have simply provided, that the declaration of this minority, thro' their re8p*xtive stale legislatures, or con ventions, should be sufficient for the purpose. Instead of making this obvious provision, or any other equivalent to it, they did not even grant to such a minority, the right of calling a convention—a privilege which be longs only to ('ongress, acting on the ap plication of two thinJs of the states. Here then if wc admit the pretentions of the iiullifiers, is the most astonishing anomaly ever witnessed in government, 'i'he con- Btitution intends that a momentous power shall l>e possessed by a certain proportion of the stales; and though an obvious mode might have been provided, for its sate and easy exercise, no mode whatever was de- Biaiiutod, and hitherto none better has been duvised, than the opca resistance of a wiiolu state, to a general law of the land! It will be ditTicult indeed to bt.“licve, that the Sligo 'iiilhorii of the constitution, were guil ty of such a blunder—one which would dis grace the barbarous legislation, of a Tar tar horde, or a Hottentot kraal. The ne- Cf.“-'it> and the facility of prescribing rc guliT means, for the ctercise of such a pow er, su'if«osinir it to exist, are both so mani fest, that the absent e of all provision of the kind, is alone conclusive proof, that the exisience of the power itself, never was coiitcinplated. 'I’hns we have shewn, that even if the majoriiv bhoiild awent to the calling of a coiivfrition, the nullifying minority imist, iicvertlieless, fail, in the icooiiiplishmeut of their ()urp*«>e, since they could never cause I he i r const rue t ion to be recog ii ized. Eac h partv, according to the principle orii;inally assiimrcl, woii.d rentain on the ground of it equal right, to “judge for itsell’, as well c>f inf^raclmns an of the mode and measure of repress.” In such a fiosition, there would lje no niip' f'.imeut to hobtililies, and unless one ¥idf' or the other receded, they must nece>;sanly cii:;ue. If tiiis is evident in tli‘ ah^iHCt, it is even more manifeol, in tiie ciise of the existing tanti' law, on which it IS proposed that the experiment of ijuliiticaiion shall be tiied. Suppose tiint by the oporation of such a measure, the ports of Soulh-Carolina are made free. If tin y remain so, a.'id the state is still to be considered a nienilKjr of the union, the pritK ipal iinfwrtations of the wtiole country, mu't b«: concentnited in those fwrts. Coij- gifss could not imjiose duties on the coast ing' trade—Ncw-Vork, Pennsylvania, and other states, could not afibrd to import di rectly from abroad, articles subject to a du- t\ III th'‘irown ports, but exempt from it in thosn .Si.uth-Carolina ; and, consequent ly, all [rails of the union would probably obtain their foreign supplies thro’ Charles ton. Ak aliiKrjl the whole fiscal resources of the government are derived from the custom hou»e, it is evident, that there \Miuld be nearly a total failure of the revenue. Otiiei evils equally great wfiuld ••nsue.— Kv'.tv holder, of dutiable articles purchased under the tariff, would find ilnjtii reduced in valii'’, to ill'; amount of the diities which i.;id paid on tliem. .Sijip-owners, la.i lholders, iiiercliaiitii. a lisans, ail the in- li!.bil;ji)l of our other large eitifs, who owe their prosperitv or isub^i.-tencc to foreign Is it reasonable to expect, that the other members of the confederacy will permit such a state of things to continue, or even to commence ? If every party to the com pact “ has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions, us of the mode and measure of redress,” surely this is n case, in which the majority would not fail to ex ercise their privilege. Even states in the minority deprecating such a wild career of |H)liticui innovation, would at least not dis approve the measures by which it was ar rested.

It is superflutius to en iuire, by what sjwcies of political agency, the majority of states would, in the present instance, perform this indispensable duty of self defence. They would doubtless, without any reference to new f'angled theo ries, act through the instrumentality oftl.e general government, whose direction is in their hands.

At the earoest request of the Captain oflhe steamboat Sheldon'i'homp- son, and in consequence of the extreme Iwat of the weather, he landed two of the siK companies from Fort Monroe, at Fort (ira. liot, to be taken up by either the Superior or the William Penn. Before his arrival at Mackinaw, four cases, resemblriig chol era, occurred on board the 'rhompaoti. The four men were placed in the hospital OD that Island, and the troops re-embarked on the bth, all well. At day-light six cases of chol era were reported, and in the course of twen ty-four hours, thirteen or fifteen others were seized; and down to the evening of the 11th seventy-seven were attacked, and nineteen died. 'Fwo new cases occurred, and six en- listed men died during the night of the 11th. Tho troops were landed at Fort Dear born on the morning of the 11th. Must ot' Ihe inhabitants of Chicago had fled, and it was difficult to obtain an expres.s. Altho’ the cases had been comjiarativcly fewer since they were landed uud comflirtahly lodged, yet llwre were not, among tlie four comjianies of artillery, more well men than were absolutely wanted to attend tlic sick, and bury the dead- iMajur Whistler, with two companies, marchcd out of Fort Dearborn to the dis tance of two miles, to make room, and a- void taking the infection. It was (icu. Scull’s intention, if the con* linued prevalence of disease rendered it ira- |K>ssible to march with an cfF'ctive force, to proceed alone to Gen. Atkinson’s camp, which, on ihe yih, was on White Water creek, 3.5 miles from Fort Winneliago. Gen. .\tkinson had with him 4.'")0 regular troofis, and atx>ut 21U0 mounted volnntters. The enemy were 12 miles distant from him, abciut 800 strong. 'J'he country, in many places, was impassable, and niucli time has iKten necessarily consumed in throwing bridges over streams, Ac. No sickness is re|)orted to have occurred among the troops under his command. Of the ofTicers with Gen. Scott, Captain Galt, Lieutenant 'I'hornlon, .Mayoadier and McIhiHie, were seized with the Cholera, but were liettcr at the last dates. Captain James .Monroe escaped with a slight attack while on Ihe passage. In addition to these facts from ofTicinl communications, we state another, on the authority of a private letter, which denion- slrnles the value of tenipcraiKe, as a pre- venlive. A company of artillery from Point Com fort, belonging to ihe 1st regiment, “when leaving .N.

A short time after the departure of tho Fox four guns were obseivcd to Ik- fircil from the Moro Castle. No one sn-i[)ecled they aimed at the friendly schooner, but alas! the result proved that such was thi' treach erous ded—ihe last of w hich, a l‘Jlh. shot, took ofl lhearm of Lieut. Cocke, and cut his body in two—he expired in eight minutes.'’ claims of nullification to a greater g« nlle- nesB of proci^ss, are equally futile. If the southern slates, irn|>elled by their wrongs, should, through a convention, or in any oth er manner, proposed to the majority, that the I IIion lie dissolved by common consent, either those wrongs will Ije redressed, or their proposition will Ik? accepted: for no comrnerce, v. .ubj h-5 exposed lo ruin and i ral.onal man will cherish the desp;rate pro Ij'-'iisary.
