Piiil.I)EL.FlllA.
WH AT idolatry is to the Church, man
worship is to the State. The fatal rock
upon ,vhichie liberties of the American Peo
ple are t be lashed to pieces, is the abandon
ment oi principles in a blind devotion to men.
Within' the hist twenty years, all parties have
been guilty of this political sin; and, unless its
onward -ourse be arrested at this awful crisis
of our country's fate, all will be lost.
The discontinuance on the last day of De
cember, of 4i the Banner of tlie Constitution,"
published weekly for three years, under the
editorial charge of the subscriber, has left the
cause of State Rights without a paper at the
orth, through which the great political ques
tions which now agitate the land, can be dis
used uninfluenced by persona! or party con
siderations. The unexampled unanimity which
has recently been proclaimed throughout the
Mil le and Northern States in favor of a con
solidated government, has cast a deep gloom
over the minds of the consistent few who re
main true to the Republican faith o'98; and
any attempt to effect, in that region, such a re
volution as was accomplished by bringing into
power Mr. Jefferson and his principles, would
8cui to be as hopeless as despair itself. Des
' perate, however, as it may appear, the attempt
Should a reduction of the Tariff take place
during the present session of Congress, it is
highly probable that an effort will be made at
the North, during the next few years, to restore
it. With this view, all the calamities which
may result from over trading, over manufac
turing, over speculating, over banking, and all
other causes united, will be ascribed to the
downfall of the American System; and the
friends of Free Trade will find it no easy task
to stand up against this probable reaction, in
demonstrating to their fellow citizens the true
cause of their suffering.
. With the view of inviting the co-operation
above referred to, it has been resolved to pro
pose the establishment of a Daily and Tri
weekly paper, in the city of Philadelphia to be
entitled "The Examiner," upon the following
plan.
1. XflE Examiner will be a regular newspaper,
an I will be printed in newspaper tbrm, of the well
known size of the National Gazette. It will contain
the usual supply of foreign and dom estic news, com
ovicml intelligence, and literary and miscellaneous
selections ex pect-'d in a daily newspaper. It will
give, copious extracts from the Proceedings o! Con
rr ss, ali i will carefully preserve all the State Papers
an ' Public Documents of an important nature that
may appear.
Political Economy, in all its branches, including
Paup r Systems, Poor Laws, Civil and Criminal Ju
risprudence, Banking Currency, and all other mat
ters of public concern, shall be freely discussed.
The affairs of South America will be frequently
brought into view; and in reference to Brazil, there
will be copious extracts from a manuscript journal
kept by the Editor, during a residence of hear five
years in that country.
2. In its politic d ! nartment the Examiner will
advocate the Republican UocrtrIiNES !' '98, asset
'brth in the Virgini i Resolutions and! Legislative
Report against the Alien an i Sedition Laws; and
as maintained in "the times that tried men's souls,"
!y Jefferson, Madison, and M'Kean, and the other
orthodox an. I distinguished champions of the Repuh
I can party.
3 It will consequently advocate, to use the lan
guage of Jefferson.
"A wise and frugal Government, 'which shall re
strain men from injuringone mother, shall leave them
otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of tn-htfiti-y
and imprvwvent. and shall not take from
the nouth of labor the bread it has earned "
" Liberty of the Tongu Liberty of the Pre -s
Liberty oft he Conscience Liberty of the Hand "
' Freedom of Industry, as sacred as freedom of the
speech or of the press."
" Economy in the public expense, that labor moy
be licrhtly burdened."
'The support of the State Governments in all their
i ifhts as the 'wst competent administrations of our
do-estic concerns.
-l The preservation of the General Government in
its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of
our peace at home, and safety abroad."
u Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all
nations."
"Taxeb as many as are necessary, and no more;
as long as necessary, and no longer." an! lastly,
fen Equality of right and duties, of benefits and bur-
"s, as the basis of the Union."
4. It will oppose monopolies, special privileges
and sinecures, of every description, as interfering
with the equality of rights upon which our institu
tions are founded, and-will oppose, upon the ground
of unconstitutionality, ns well as of inexpediency, the
establishment, bv the Federal Government of any
National or Treasury Bank.
5. It will also oppose all wasteful expenditures, by
the Federal Government, of the public money for In
ternal Improvements, upon the principle, that to the
State Governments belongs the sole power lo con
strue! roads and canals by their own means, or by the
incorjoration of companies. It will oppose all appro
priations for objects not dearly within tne delegated
powers of Congress, and all usurpations of authority
by any branch of the Federal Government.
9. It will also be opposed, and in an especial man
ner, to man worship, the bane of Republics; and it
will expose corruption and dereliction of principle in
public servants, to whatever party they may profess
to belong. This, however, it will do, in a mo ie
whi- h shall not degrade the press, and upon no occa
sion will thecolumnsof the Examiner be the vehicle
of scurrility or vulcrar personal abuse.
7. The "paper will be commenced as eoon as a suf
ficient number of subscribers shall have been obtained
lo secure its permanent establishment, of which due

IN SENATE.
REVENUE COLLECTION BILL.
The Senate then proceeded to consider the bill to
soon as they are received in this country, and provide further for the collection of the duties on im-
continuing them in weekly numbers, (as faras
the receipt will admit of regularity,) so as'to
furnish the entire matter of the three works
within the year.
The works proposed to be republished are
of established character for the ability and In
terest with which they are conducted: -
Blackwood is well known as the ablest and
most interesting of the Foreign Periodicals.
Its present cost to subscribers in this country
is 811.
The Metropolitan is a new Periodical,
edited by Thomas Campbell, (recently editor
of the New Monthly,) and Thomas Moore, as
sisted by Harrison, (author of a Diary of a Phy
sician,) Mrs. Henians, Mrs. Norton, and other
writers of high reputation. The cost of e
Metropolitan is $15.
The Foreign Quarterly Review is de
voted principally to Continental Literature, and
is conducted with great talent. It treats of the
literature and institutions of this country with
impartiality, and often in terms of high and de
served commendation. It enjoys at presenta
higher reputation than either of the Idiglisk or
Scottish Reviews. The subscription price is
89.
The expensiveness of the original publica
tions prevents any extensive circulation of them
in this couniry the separate cost of the cheap
est being 30 per cent, above that of the whole
in the proposed republication ; and the cost of
the three not less than $35, five times the cost
of the re-print.
No intermixture of the works will be permit
ted to occur, but all the articles of each No. will
be printed consecutivelyas in the original, and
in such manner that at the close of the year
each work can be separated by the binder, and
hound by itself . ;
The work will be handsomely printed with
new type, on fine paper, in Imperial, Octavo,
(Quarto Form,) in weekly Nos. df 10 pages
each. The irregular receipt of the Periodical
mav occasion some, but, it is'hoped, not any
'serious irregularity in the publication. Seve
ral works being published in weekly numbers,
the long intervals in which none are" received,
followed by an over supply, 44 all in a heap,'
will be avoided, and a more reasonable ami
regular allowance of reading ensured.
Terms Seven Dollars per annum, payable
on delivery of the first No.

But the bill before the Senate involved question of
such magnitude, that he could not J ontent h nv If
with a sdent vote upon it. The. subject was of hirh
interest to the State which he had ,he honor in part
to rep.esent, both as a member of the comrrmn Union
and in reference to her peculiar position, bonie-in
as she does, upon the Slate out of nhoe legislation
arose this question. This obligation of duty" Icrived
additional torce from the Rohaions of the State of
North Carolina, instructing her St natois to exert
their influence to obtain a "peaceable adjustment of
this controversy," audio produce ; restoration of har
mony ueuveen me general Government and the
State of South Carolina. Whde A alvvavs affhnle.:

stituents, in obeying their injunctions on ibis occasion.
ne ioiioweo aiso tne dictates ol his own judgmeni and
ardent wishe-. It was his earnest hope that thcon
test, which was now assuming an angry an d threat
ening asp. ct, should be settled in a peaceable manner.
He need not, say that he disapproved of the course of
South Carolina, c that his State disapproved of it.
Her course, he ihouizl t, had been rash and uncalle '
lor by the exigency of the times. She should have
relied, as he did, upon a constitutional remedy; upon
the returning sene of justice in the reople of the
Non hern and Eastern St-'tes; an.' upon the wisdom
and patriotism assemble! in the Legislative Halls of
the country. But the State ofSouth Carolina thought
ditierentlv. and t ok repress: in her nu n hands. She
was responsible to herself b; h r course. It was not
his ousiness to sit in jn igm niujxm her, but to ex
press on bis own part, and that of hi. State, disap

1 he bill, though proposing on its lace to be gene
ral its application, was manifestly intended to be ap
plied to South Carolina alone. Thouuh the name
was not written under the. picture, he who runs may
easily read. What is the proper way of settling tli-s
question? What course is most likely to lead"to a
peaceable adjustment of it? This ishe question be
fore us. The Committee on the Judiciary most ex
cuse him, if, notwithstanding 1 he Idgh respect he en
tertained lor their talents, he .should wholly dissent
Mom tne sj.ecihe remedy which they propose. He
old not believe that the bill by them presented to flu

in stimable principle of our institutions, that our go-
ve: nment ehoul i be essentially pacific in its remedies
He believed that, in its consequences, it would be at
tended with violence, and perhaps lead to civil war.
He objected to tin- provision which authorized tlie re
pulsion by lorce ol any bttempt to execute the laws ol
booth Carolina in reference to the revenue. Totluit
provision he mainly objected, but there were some
other provisions ot minor importance which did not
meet his assent. If any one principle was hette es

step in to execute the law, helure the ju iri.iry has
exerted its powers, th n tlu' essence and spirit of our
institutions arc essentially changed. It has been our
boast that in cases where other nations resort to war,
we resort to a peaceful mode of attaining a settlement

oi uie.qui-'suon; ami to tne judicial trinunal? is com-
mitted thejidministration of these peaceful measures.
He did not at all object to -the due administration and
operation of the lawsof the United States. He wished
the laws to, find support in the energy of the Constitu
tion. It was vain to say that coercive measures ar--necessary
in this case; for there is an inherent energy
in the Constitution which will enable the laws to
triumph without an appeal to lorce.
The Senator from Pennsylvania asked us the other
day, if we were unwilling that the powers proposed
to be given to the Executive by the bill, should be con
fined to the present President of the United States.
But that was not the question. He would say that
the past course of the President had been such, as to
entitle him to unlimite confidence, and there was no
individual to whom he would more willingly confide
this power than to the President. But there was no
man, however elevated in station and nnohle by vir
tue, however pure his integrity in honest his purpo
ses, to whom he would give a power winch was un
warranted by the constitution. We are told that a
us watch over the n. jjosuories of po ver,1 is the
only way ol preserving liberty. He could not believe
, for a moment, that, it this power were given to the
Presiuent, he would abuse it. Bui it might, in worse
'times than these, and in worse hands th in his, be
abused, to the destruction of our institutions. We
may be told that the power will be limited as'to con
tinuance and application. But what does history
teach us ? that the fact of to-day becomes a precedent
to-morrow, uur own nistory shows us instances ol
powers, some well established s constitutional, which
the trainers ot tne constitution and its any fren lf
would have shrunk from with dread. The Genei i
Government has been gradually drawing to itse!ffh
' exercise ot powers. When told that they are no' gi
ven ny tne constjtution, tney reply that they are jus-
Representatives of Pennsylvania, on the message o
the Governor relative to the mandamus of the Su
preme Court of the United States, in the case tf
Gideon Olmstead, as follows:
" That the subject referred to them has not failed
to engage their most serious reliction. They have
viewed it in every point of light in which it could be
consumed. It is by no means a matter of indifference,
in what ever way the Legislature may decide, it will
m the h.ghest degree imstant. We may purchase
peace by a surrender oj riht, or exhibit to the pre
sent tunes, and to rate posterity, an awful lesson ill
the conflicts to preserve- it. It becomes a sacred
duty we owe to our common cbuntrv, to discard pustl
ammity on the one hand, and rashness on the other.
In either case we shall furnish materials for bistom
and future times must judge of our wisdom, of out
weakness. Ancient history furnishes no parallel to
the Constitution of this United Republic: And
should this great experiment tail, vain mav 1e everv
effort to establish rational liberty. The spirit of the
times gives birth to jealousy of poicer ; it is intej;
woyeri in our system, and is, .perhaps, essential fo
perfect freedom aud the riglTts of mankind. But this
jealousy urged to the extreme, may eventual! y des
troy even liberty itself. As connected with the Fed eral
system, the State Governments, with their hi
tiercnl rights, must, at every hazard, be prcser red
entire; otherwise the General Government m:iy 7.
sitHie a. character, never contemplated by its frame: r,
which may change its whole nature."
" Jiesolved, That in a Government like that of tlu
United States, where there arc powers granted to
the General Government, and rights reserved to the
ik 10 iui)M.n-ssiuie', irom tne lmpenecuon
language, so to define the limits of each, that difficulties
should not sometimes arise from a collision of powers ;
and it is to be lamented thato protisionis made in the
Constitution, for deter-mining disputes between the
General and Slate Governments, by an impartial
tribunal, when such cases occur.
" Resocled, That from the construction the Uni
ted Stales Couits give to tlu-ir powers, the harmony
of the States, if they resist n .'roachments on then'
rights, will frequently be interrupted: and if, to pre
vent this evil, they should, on all occasions, yield 0
stretches of power, the reserved righisof the State1
will depend on the arbitary potcer of tlie Courts.
Jiesolced, that, should the independence ot the
States, as secured by the Constitution, be destroyed,
tlie liberties of the people, in so extensive a country .
cannot long survive. To suffer the United Stete
Courts to ilecide on State Rights, will, from a bias in
avor ol power, necessarily destroy the federal part .
of our Government ; and whenever the Government
ot the United States becomes consolidated, we mav
earn, lrom the history ol nations, what will be the
event."
Those papers show what were the doctrines oP
Pennsylvania at that time, and it is well known that-
siie went ou to carry those into practical operation.
Sue called out ker whole military power to resist the
decree of the Court, and steps were taken to brin
her military force into actual service. He did nb
adduce this tact because he approved of the doctrinee
of Pennsylvania, lor, in his opinion, she went too far.
But he aicunt to show her rashness did not draw
down upon" her the power of the Union. The ad
ministralion of that day had not recourse to military
coer ion. 'I lie decided stand which the State hail
taken was known to the Go7ernmeut and to Con
gress, but they did not consider that any coercive,
measure was necessary before the Judicial tribunal
had tried their remedy. No bill was introduced iu
Congress, no measures recommended by the Presi
dent for meeting the measures of Pennsylvania wit It
military lorce. They trusted to the force of our in
stitutions, without other remedy, and those institu
tions triumphed.
Should not the recollection of this transaction in
culcate upon Pennsylvania moderation, and unaba
ted confidence in a peaceful remedy ? The case,
addressed itself particularly to that State, and bouiuV
her to practise tlie same moderation towards Carolina
which the Union practised towards her, when, in a
moment of high excitement, she opposed hereelf to
the laws of the Union, lie would, in further Btrp
port of his views, read from a speech delivered by a
highly distinguished citizen oi' Pennsylvania, a pas
sage which was fraught with just and liberal eeiud
ment. From the address delivered before the literary
societies ot Jefferson College at the annual com
mencement in September, 1832, by the Hon. Wtt.
