The engrossed resolutions requesting
lhe -statcxif South Carol inu to suxpend tlie-
twration of the ordiiuince of their conven
tion, were, on motion of Mr. Settle, laid
n the table until the 8d Monday in No
vember next.
Mr. Townsend presented the following
Protest, which wa read and ordered to be
pread at larc on the Journal :
lhe undersigned, availing birwcll ofthe
priviiejio guaranteed to bun bv the 1 on-
stitution " of dissenting from and protesj-
ling agkiutitr.ny act or resolve: Which, ui
may tiimk iujuriou. to the public or au
iiKlividuul," resiectfully suhinits tl'i!,fol:
lowing as the views which governed him
in the yte he gave on the 4th resolution
reported by the joint select committee on
thq-outo .Carolina nocuments,j In o
doing he (it not state tho reasott&.wbich
have brought him to such coiiclusiouis. but
merely tb conclusions theraselvea..
In the first place, he believes that neith
er the General not .State Governments are
in the strict meaning ot the word sove
re.'g! ,.ere.'S0- being one who possesses
air power."
In the second place, be believes that the
States possessed every attribute of sove
reiguty bctorethe formation ofthe federal
c6mpact ; and that by the compact the
Malee respectively delegated soirio portion
ol their aoveieigtity to the General Gov
wroieoC . Thai .hu believes : whenever I
rmt'stroiVarttea1 whether by that compact
certain pnwvrs are deUsgated or not by the
Sta(es to the Uoveruuuml, (as there, i oo
umpire creaiea iy ine i. onstuutton or
compact itstilt to decide,) it clearly results
tluU each party to the compact must de
cide for itself. That if any other State,
in forming her opinion on any question
thus arising, should come to the conclu
ion, difPsnng from the conclusions of the
other members of the compact, it then be.
cornea a question of expediency with such
State whether site will submit to the opm
ion of the majority ef the State, or act
upon) her own. Ami that should a Slate
thua act upon her own opinion, as the un
dersizned believoa she has a right to do,
she by such action peaceably withdraws
Irom the compact, and ine .majority the
Mules would, hi such case, bave ao moral
right to eoerce her into submission.
lie repudiates the doctrine of INuilifk-a
