And now. to warn them of their danger to speak unwelcome truths and show how lnhniteJy the dangers ot nuht fication exceed the. importance of the evils for which it i3 proposed as a remedy ii? an arduous duty, hut one to which no real lover of his country can hesi tate to devote himself. Nor can we doubt but that the exasperation of lhc people will moderate, and that they will decide upon the question of secession with more calmness, seeing that the great excite iCient which now prevails, arises principally from a theoretical dispute. The new theory of the South Carolina Politicians, that thej producer pays the duty, has done more to provoke the public mind than all other causes together. It will be a most melancholy fact, if a system of rational, constitutional govern ment, which has done so much, and promises ho fair for the happines of mankind, should fall a sacrifice to a speculation. That the idea is erroneous, and that the error is easily detect ed, few, except those who have embraced the doctrine as a matter of faith, will be willing to deny. i The argument is that the Planter is the -trroducer of the manufactures for which his crop is exchanged, and the fallacy of the opin ion consists in considering the merchant as the agent of the planter. It is just as reasonable tjO assume that the planter is the agent of the merchant. If there were no duties on foreign ijianufatures the planter would sell his crop as he now does, and for no greater price The merchant would sell his goods for a proht as he does now; but as some goods would come into market at less cost, hav ing no duty to pay, the price would be less : and in this -way the planter in common with every other consumer would gain ; hut he would have no more inducement to turn merchant then be cause the goods would be cheap, than to do so now because they are high The possession of cotton has no more tendency to make one a merchant, than the possession of so much Ihoncy or of any thing else that may be sold or exchanged. If the protecting duties were abolished the European merchant would bring more goods to Charleston, and the Northern merchant less ; but free trade would no more convert planters into merchants, than the res trictive system into manufactures. In the same way b assuming that the merchant is ihc agent of the planter the conclusion is drawn, that a duty on imports is equivalent to a duty on cxnorts. It is true that if a person under the protecting system were to pay an export , .Inftf y- ! In; nHn r mul i rv rAif nic n"iiHy iillf7l duty on his cotton and import his goods duty free the result would be the same as if the duty had been paid upon the goods. But this docsnot prove that a duty on imports is equiva lent to a duty on experts; for in the case sup posed, the cotton though taxed is sold as if it was free and the goods though free as if the protecting duty had been actually levied upon them. But if the system was changed, and exports were taxed and goods admitted duty free, cot Jon would fall in price to the extent of the duty imposed, and goods in proportion to the duty taken off. In the fall of cotton the plant er would sustain the whole burthen but the gain arising from cheap goods he would only sharo with tho rest of the community. The objection to the protecting system are abun dantly sufficient to justify vigorous and unceas sing opposition butto regard them as a justifi cation of revolution amounts to the wildest ex travagance of opinion. Sould we be called abettors ot the Tariff because, we are unwilling to overturn the government? With as much! reason may the lawgiver be reproached with 4be encouragement of crime, because ev: ry offanceis not visited with the last severity of the law.; Our obedience has been challenged to Nulli iication as a duty which protection imposes. We admit the principle in all things lawful and shall not forcibly obstruct the constituted authorities of ihe state as long as we are pro tected by the law. It is not true, however that we owe all allegiance exclusively to the state; or. that we are indebted to the state alone for protection. We have been protected by ilie U. States in peace and in war. Nor is the Union less efficient in the protection of the citizen,' though it operates silently, by prevent ing those seenes of proscription, confiscation and new made trcas-ons, of which till now we have happily been ignorant, and of which indeed, wenever heard till the Union itself was in dansrer. We do not believe that a majority of the rood people of this state approve of a secession, ormeditate violence againsttheir fellowcitizens of the Union Party. We shall therefore not interfere to prevent the Legislative regulations of nullification from being executed by such pnnatitiitirtnnl and Jfitral means as the authori ties mav be able toemploy; Protesting al wajfs against their iniustice and invoking in our weliali the reason ol our tellow citizens, anu their natural detestation ; nor shall we be driven irora the position of peaceable citizens by any "ting short of intolerable oppression. Your Committee therefore recommend the adoption the Remonstrance and Protest nerewith reported. RLMpNSTRANCE & PROTEST Of the Union and State Rights Party. ' The Union and States Right Party of South Carolina assembled in Convention, do Remon strate :d : Solemnly Protest against the Ordi nance passed by the State Co-ftreution on the 34th day of November last. 1st.

Instead ot which, that Con ventioi) has passsed an Ordinance in direct vi olation of all these pledges. n 1. Because the said Ordinance has insid iouslv assailed one of the inalienable rights of man, by endeavoring to enslave all freeedom of conscience by that tyrannical engine of power a lest Oath. 3rd. Because it has disfranchised and pro scribed nearly one half of the freemen of South Carolina for "an honest difference of opinion by declaring that those whose consciences will not permit them to'take the test oath shall be de nrived of everu oiEce civil and military. 4th. Because it has trampled under foot the s-reat vrinciples of Liberty secured to the citi- zpn hv the Uonsiuuuon 01 una omic m uepri- ving (he freemen of this country of the right to an impartial trial by Jury, thereby violating that clause of the Constitution intended to be perpetual, which declares that "The trial by Jury as heretotore used in mis Mate, and the liberty of the Press, shall he forever inviolably preserved." 5th. Because it has violated the indepen dence guarantied to the Judiciary, by enacting that the Judges shal take a revolting test oath, or be arbitrarily removed from office, thereby depriving them of the privilege of trial by im peachment, which by the Constitution- of the State is intended to be secured to every civil officer. Gth. Because the Ordinance has directly vio lated the Constitution of the United States, which gives authority to Congress to collect revenue, in forbidding the collection of any revenue within the limits of South Carolina. 7th. Because it has violated the sa?ne Con stitution, in that provision of it which declares that no preference shall be given to one Port ovei any other in the United States, by enact ing that goods shall be imported into Ports of South Carolina without paying any duties. 8th. Because it violates the same Constitu tion, am tramples upon the RIGHTS of the citizen by denying him the privilege of appeal in cases in Law and Equity arising under the Constitution and Laics of the Union. 9th. Because it his ;irtuiVy destroyed the Union, by carefully preventing the General Government from enforcing their laws through the civil tribunals of the country; and then en acting that if that government should pursue any Other mode to enforce them, then this State shall be no longer a member of the Union. 10th. Because the tyranny and oppression inflicted bv this Ordinance, are of a char acter so revolting, and the effects anticipated from it so ruinous that the commerce and credit of the State are already sensibly affected and will soon be prostrated ; and its peaceable and ! statement is a little wide of the mark, or at industrious citizens are driven from their j least does not give the whole truth, I have homes to seek tranquility in some other State, j thought it proper that I should likewise give a The Union Party of South Carolina in Con- j brief statement of the facts.

FRACAS AT WASHINGTON. From the Washington Telegraph, Dec.Vo. TO THE PUBLIC. To prevent misrepresentation, it is proper that I should give a statement of the circum stances attending the assault made upon me yesterday by General Blair, a member of Con gress from South Carolina. General Blair is perhaps the largest mm in the United States, in the vigor of life; I was passing him on the pavement and without any previous warning, he struck me a severe blow with a large club on the head. The blows were followed up un til I was brought to the earth, my left arm bro ken, and my left leg disabled and severely wounded. At this crisis, the by-standers in terposed and seperated us. In reply to an in quiry from a by-stander, Gen. B. said the pro vocation was, that I had called the Union par ty of South Carolina Tories. Gen B. was in the habit of meeting me on the terms of pas sing civility I was not conscious that I had given him offence I was unarmed and taken O . . ,1 . .1 entirely bv surprise ; 1 presume mai tne re mark to Which he has taken exception is con tained in our comment of Saturday last, upon the proposition made in the U. Convention at Co- lumbia. bv Mr. Hunt ofClarleston. with the ap Hunt ofClarleston. with tne ap 'probation, as it is said of the Union party of 7 ' Charleston, to organize in a military manner, for i the purpose of resisting the laws of the Stetc.j We denounced the faction who could adopt: 1 1. 1 , J I.l 1 sucn resolutions 10 ne tones, and mat they nad ; profaned the holy name of Union. In our pa-' per of yesterday, without a knowledge that Gen. B. or any one else had taken exception at our remark, in a comment upon an article m the N. Y. Gazette, we said, in explanation of our meaning, " We use this word, not in the invidious sense in which it was used in the Uni ted States during the Revolution, but as it is used in England ; meaning that the tory party are the advocates of a strong Government, and hence are always on the side of power." When we assumed the editorial control of this paper, we took our life in our hands. We staked all that was dear to a man and a citizen upon the principles which, as an editor, it is our duty to maintain. It will be useless for Gen. B. to pre tend that our offence consists in the use of the term of which he complains this assault is a pratical illustration of the doctrines promulga ted in the proclamation it is an attempt to suppress the voice of truth and to silence the press bv brute force an attempt as impotent as; it is outrageous. I return thanks to that kind Providence, to whose internosition alone 1 am indebted for my life, that although I am now prostrate, and am compelled to dictate these remarks to a friend who prepares them for the press, 1 am able to dictate, and resolved to discharge my dutv with renewed spirit and increased activi ty. DUFF GREEN. P. S. Since the above was written, we un derstand that Gen. Blair has stated, as the cause of ;:is assault, that he had accosted me in the street, in his usual way, and entered into con versation : in the course of which I took occa sion to say the Union party of South Carolina was a tory faction ; that he said to me, " your language is too harsh that I repeated it, as if in defiance, and that he, therefore, had resort to his cane to resent the imputation. To this statement I give an unqualified denial. I have not, at any time since his return to this city, held a conversation with Gen. B. and therefore, stamp this statement as false. D. G. Washington City, ii5th Dec. 1832. To the Editor of the Globe: Sir. In the Telegraph of this morning, Gen eral Duff Green gives to the public what he calls "a statement of the circumstances attending the assault" made upon him by myself on yesterday ; and subjoins a postscript purporting to be a statement which he understood I had given as the cause of the assault made upon him. The statement attributed to me in the postscript is false, as General Green asserts, I never made it but as General Green's own in his paper of Saturday last. Mv angry leel inora MiTrtinst fipriPral (IrPCfl YVPTP tint PntlPPal- ed from that time forth, but were made known A. . I A. L- . - I I .... A. . have applied to me any other epithet that would have been so provoking : In this tem per I met him on the. Avenue yesterday, not far from Gadsby's Hotel, each of us walking lalone. I had understood healways wentarmeel, I presumed he must have heard of my ex- ; - ... cited feelings towards him. As soon as we ap proached within some eight or ten paces oleach other, I accosted him thus : " Well General, the Union men of South Carolina are all tories, I suppose!" He replied, sternly, " you, know what I have said." " Yes," said I, "and you shall soon know what I will do" and I instant ly struck him with the small end of my stick. What occurred afterwards was pretty much as represented by General Green except that I did not think that I had injured him as much as he states. It was not my intention to do so. I struck only with the light end of the stick throughout, and restrained the force of the first blows, at least, if not the whole. As soon as 1 made the first hostile in dication, General Green was endeavoring to get some weapon from his bosom or side pock et, which I presumed was a pistol he drew out something, which at. length 1 discovered to be a dirk. But while 1 remained under the impression that a pistol was about to be used a gainst me, it is probable I increased the severi ty of my blows to an extent that! am not a ware of. If the chastisement given to Gener al Green exceeds the bounds of moderation, mv apology is toHbe found not merely in the great provocation he had previously given but in the unyielding spirit with which he sustained and prolonged the conflict. Very respectfully, Yours, kc. JAMES BLAIR. Map of North Carolina. A few days since we had the pleasure of examining a beautiful map of our State, constructed by Mr. Robert H. B.

P "VP wccu i'cuuuicu iu ute me knowing tract of a letter, from a gentleman on boa d th U. S. Fkigate Constellation, a At Sea, WesUrn Archipelago, uctober, 1832. ' "I wrote you last from Madeira which place we left on the 29th May, and arrived at Lisbon after a pleasant passage of a few days. I had come to the determination to remain oivboard until we arrived in the Mediterranean, but we led in wi.h the Boston loop of war. and iwvinga ineiiu on oaaru mat ship, I wad induced by his persuasion to accompany him ashore, where, as American umcers, ewetv treated with a degree ot hospitality, not to oe L-xpected irom strangers, raiacesauu jjuuuufjaiucuo wcic unuwu open tor our reception our very wisnes seemen tooe nntirinated bv the kind people. I f-lt grateful tor their attention, but it imparted tome no real satisfac tion. Thoufrh an ardent votary of pleasure, I have naturally, a melancholy, reflecting disposition; and when I contrasted tne splendour, elegance, auu uiem which seemed to reign throughout the palaces of the rrrpnf with the detrr.iuation, miser van ' wretchedness, winch ivt iff i down tne poorer ciass ui uus r.uuuuv, ray heart sunk at tlv1 thought, and for the moment I tr;.ve wav to a melancholy feeling which pervaded every faculty of my soul. With a climate equal to anv on the trlobe : a soil yielding to the husbandman the fruits of hislahonr in the greatest abundance : the working class of Portugal are the most ignorant, de graded, miserable race of beings in existence. Under the influence of religious frenzy, they are reduced to that state, that the greatest calamity which could pos sibly visit the human family, could not make worse their con Sition. The Priests of this country rule all denominations: their will is superior to the law from it their is no appeal. They have established through out this city about one hundred least days (last days to many), which they denominate bamts' days. Un these days ail business is susiended : no man is allow ed io labour on a festival day ; it would be considered sacrilege lor a poor man to attempt it, though his ife and children were actually perishing for bread at home. The poor . an is left about two hundred days in the year to 1 lour in ; and one half the profits arising therefrom is taken from him in the way of taxes, and other ways, which he knows nothing of. And all this to support the Church, and the Priests, who are rolling in the lap of luxury. To one unac quainted with the policy of this government, this may appear a coloured picture, out i assure you it has scarcely received a tinge. Happy America! how much reason have thy inhabitants to return thanks to their Maker, lor his bountuul Providence. May he long avert such evils lrom our happy country where every individual enjoys the fruits of labour in peace, and sei ves his God agreeanly to the dictates o Ins conscience. " vv e left Lisbon after a short stay, and proce ed to oar station, touching at uibralter and Malaga, on our way. We found the Commodore at Mahon, who gave us orders to prepare immediately lor sea again oo we got. underweigh from Mahon in a few days bound to Smyrna, (Asia Minor) where we arrivec in sixteen days. VVe are now engaged in convey ing American vessels among rocks and shoals, in a tempestuous ocean, whose shores are impregnated with diseases most at enmity 'with man. The Plague .vith all its horrors, is raging in every part of this un happy country. Through the interposition ofDivine Providence we have escaped its ravages so lar, for which we feel thankful. Our situation is a precari ous one, but our duty calls u, and it is against our creed to shrink from it. We are in daily expectation of being relieved by one of the squadron. I look for her with a great deal of anxiety, as there is nothiug that interests me in this part of the world, having j-pent six months up. here the last cruise. About ten days past we touched at Athens. 1 revisited this place, once the pride of Greece, nothing now but a iieap oi spleii iid ruins. There is a sad solemnity in the very shadow that rests upon these splendid monu ments of human greatness! a silence as of reverence m every thing around them, that steals likethe mem ory of past time to the heart of the beholder. In cast ing my eye over these ruins, I thought how many thousundsof the learned, the wise, the beautiful and the brave, had once revelled in this gay city, now o desolate. Where are they now ? They have gone to that eternal bourn from whence no tavellerhas yet returned. But their works still triumph over de cay these facts engendered in my mind the most solemn reflections I asked myself these questions. Is it possible that man alone is doomed to perish must this something within us be annihilated, whilst the works of his hands endure ? No, it cannot be so. This immortal part must survive "the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds." In travelling over the ruins, we came to the Market Place vv here St. Paul disputed with the Epecureans, and Stoic Philosophers. A little farther on is Mars' Hill, where he preached to the populace upbraided them with their Altars to the Unknown God, andjpointed out to them, the only true worship. We left Athens and proceeded to Smyrna, where we took a convoy, by one ot which I write this. "is. r. During our late cruise we experienced a violent hurricane in Smyrna, and a report has gone forth that our Ship was lost with all hands. Some American vessels sailed from Smyrna whilst that re port was in circulation, and I suppose they will give itcurrency in the United States. I mention this circumstance for fear it should get to Portsmouth, and to snow you tnere is no truth in it." FOR THE SENTINEL. " The merchant's plague, from shop to shop, " Wandering and littering with unfolded silka " The polished counter, and approving none, "Or promising, with smiles, to call again." It was now 12 o'clock, and I hud sent half of my stock of goods about town, without selling a dollar. I had a note to pay in Bank, and was just "going out to borrow money, when I was met by three bouncing country girls, and their gallant attendants. Now for the cash, thought I. Again the polished counter was bedecked, and after much persuasion, they con sented to take a quarter of a yard of muslin, if I would throw in thread enough to make it up. To this I objected they insisted, and in order to get clear of thern, I at length complisd. I now sallied forth in good earnest to borrow money. Met two or three of my neighbours on the same busi ness; succeeded in part, and, as a dernier resort, proceeded to a cash "laan and obtained the balance by paying six per cent interest, which amounted to more than my profits for the last two weeks, and quite out of breath, reached the Bank just as they were closing doors. The alove, Mr. Editor, is a faithful picture of a merchant's employment for half a day j if any covet his situation, I wish he had it. If any one doubt the statement, I hope he may yet be a tape seller i i And if the Ladies should laugh at it, I pray them beware ; for although they receive our best bow as olien as they honour us with their visits, still we are a discriminating set of fellows, and if we get but little of their cash, we learn, or at least pretend to learn much of their real character and disposition when exhibiting to them our wares-and merchandize.
