WHAT idolatry is to the Church, man
worship is to the State. " The fatal rock
upMiwhi-h the liberties of the American Peo
ple are t b ' lathed to pieces, is the abandon-
- 1 m
iiipfit f principles in a blind devotion to men.
Witfiin the last twenty years, all parties have
bft'ii guilty of this political Sin; and, unless its
onward course be arrested at (his awful crisis
ofo-ir country's fate, all will Ije lost.
The disc ontinuance on the fast day of De
cemfKT, of. "the Banner of the Constitution,"
published weekly for three years, under the
edirmal charge of the subscriber, has left the
cau-e of State Rights without a paper at the
North, through which the great political ques
tions which now agitate the land, can be dis
rated uninfluenced by personal or party con
siderations. The unexampled unanimity which
ha recently been proclaimed throughout the
Millie and Northern States in favor of a con
0:)Il!atcd government, has cast a deep gloom
uVTthe minds f the c onsistent few who re
miin true to iho Republican faith o'98; and
any it:e'iipt to effect, in that region, such are
riiution as -vas accomplished by bringing into
poivvr Ir Jefferson and his principles,
see ii to b -i.s h peless as despair itself. Des
perate, however, as it may appear, the attempt
oa.it t . Ir made, and if a liberal support be
mi -,n ie ! t this overture it shall be madl.
The friend of Liberty and t!ie Union, as guar
cnty.J hy th Constitution, in this quarter, are
n t lisp sed to abandon, without a further
stru!f?e, the glori mis inheritance transmitted
! h- n by their fathers; but !ingfewin nun
bf , i i 1 surr un led by a population wholly ad
vern. to thei views,-they can only maintain a
pres- hv ih 1 -operation of those who are more
ii-'rv i i erested than themselves in the pre
servaii i of the reserved jiIoiits of the
States.' ' " " ,
S!i ti I 1 a r liiction of the Tariff lake place
lur'urr the present session of Congress, it is
hiiil probiWe that an effort will be made at
the N rlh, during (he oext few years t restore
if. Wiih this view, all the calamities which
iriv refill from over trading, over - manufac
turing o er sp-cuiati'ig, over banking, and all
other - wn s united, will be ascribed to the
-! );'r)i't!l f the American System; and. the
f i"! h .f Frrj Trade will find it no easy task
r !m i up against this probable reaction, in
ilcn .nitrating to their fellow citizens the true
f au-e of their suiTerino-.
With the view of inviting the co-operation
abovp referred to, it has been resolved to pro
posejhe establishment of a Daily and Tri
weekly paper, in the citv of Philadelphia to be
entitled "The Examiner," upon the following
plan. ,
1. The Examiner will be a regular newspaper,
aiil will be prime I in newspaper form, of the well
mown size of the National Gazette. . It will contain
the usual supply of foreign and domestic news, com
mercial intelligence, and literary and miscellaneous
selc-i'iions expect in a daily "newspaper. It will
v? copious extracts from the Proceedings of Con
f?.v. i!i i. u-ill carefully preserve all the State Papers
an I Public Documents of an important nature that

Political Economy, in all its branches, incluiing
1 inner Systems,. Poor Laws, Civil and Criminal Ju
risprudence, Banking, Currency, and all other mat-
w. ,ju'uic. concern, s.'iall be freely discussed.
1 lift alftirs of South America will be frequently
wought'into view.; and in reference to Brazil, there
will be copious extracts from a manuscript journal
wpt y the E.'itor, durin a residence of near five
years-m that country.
2- hi its political" department the Examiner will
vocate.the Republican Docrtrines of "98, as set
'wit m the Virginia Resolutions and Legislative
ttenort against the Aliem and Sedition Laws! an I
as ni iMitained in "the times that tried men's souls,"

N E W ATLAS.
I PROPOSALS for publishing by Subscrip
tion, a New and elegant Universal Atlas,
to contain distinct Maps of all the Principal
Kingdoms and States in the known World, and
separate Maps of each of the United States, by
H. 8. TANNER, Author of a New American
Atlas, Map of the United States, &c, fcc.
Although numerous collections of Maps have
been published in this country, but few have
yet been complet d on a scale and plan calcu
lated to convey an adequate idea of the whole
subject, or to do justice to the improved state
of Geographical science in the United States.
M st of those heretofere offered for public ap
probation have been only the first essays of this
kind, and principally designed for the use rf
schools, or to illustrate geographical works,
while these published in Europe are extremeh
defective and incorrectas respects the United
States, the geography of which is so rapidly
progressive that no European publication can
keep pace with its advancement. This part of
the work must be brought to maturity in our
country, and such is now the respectable stale
of the Arts here, that we can assert with confi
dence that we possess the materials and skill
sufficient to exibit a topographical representa
tion of the United istates, indefinitely superior, 1
as it regards correctness and detail, and every
way e.jual in style, to any European publica
'.ion ti the kind.
The publisher of the proposed work has been
collecting materials, prepaiatory to the exe
ution of it, for everal years, in which he
his beeen assisted by some of the ablest geo
graphers in this country and in Europe. In
a Idition to this, he will avail himself of all the
recent and important discoveiies iii both hem
ispheres, to enable him to execute the proposed
Atlas in a manner every way satisfactory to the
public.
The materials for the maps which relate to
the eastern continents, will be selected from
the latest and best European authorities, and
ex'bita complete view of the. world in connec
tion with the United States. The State maps
will be engraved from drawings compiled, as
far as practicable, from original documents, on
a scale sufficiently large to admit of an accurate
representation of countries, with their subdivi
sions, the seas, lakes, rivers, and mountains,
the counties, cities, towns and villages, and all
the principal roads, internal improvements, &c.
The work will be completed as soon as cir
cumstances will pe'rmit, consistently with accu
racy and elegance of execution ; and from
the measures that have been adopted to pro-
cure the necessary information, no material
delay is apprehended.
It was originally intended by the publishar,
and proposals issued accordingly, to restrict
the size of each map to an imperial quarto. It
has since, however, been found that the limits
of such a sheet were entirely too small to admit
the introduction ol all the recent information
which the author desired to incorporate with
the proposed work ; he has therefore determined
to augment greatly the size of the maps, and to
publish this work in monthly numbers.
The maps as now proposed, will be nearly
louble the size of those contemplated in the
original prospectus. Though the maps be in
creased in size, the cost of the entire work will
not much exceed the price of the Atlas as first
proposed, as the whole may be comprised in
about fourteen numbers.
In the execution of such an extensive plan,
very great expense must be incurred, but the
utility of a work of this description being evi
dent, the publisher haslehtered on the task with
alacrity, relying with full confidence on the
importance and merits of the work to insure the
patronage necessary to its completion.
Having thus briefly delineated the plan of the
work, the publisher offers it to the public on
the following
CONDITIONS :
I. The proposed Atlas shall be constructed
from the latest and most authentic documents.
It will be engraved in the first style of map
engraving, and in every branch of its execu
tion, accuracy of detail shall be aimed at.
Each sheet will be 11 by 14 inches.
II. The maps will be printed on the first
quality venum paper, and colored in an elegant
ana appropriate manner..
111. lhe Atlas consists of about fourteen
numbers, with an engraved title sheet. It will
be delivered to subscribers at 81 for each num
ber, containing at least four maps, payable on
delivery. io non-subscribers the price will
oe ti ou a nuraocr, each of which will be com
plete in itself.

(irrape Vine Cuttings.
ABOUT six years ago, I planted a vine
yard of about five acres, and have suc
ceeded well in raising the vines and grapes.
Having understood that persons in this part
of the State frequently procure vines from the
North, and believing that a preference is due to
those cultivated here, I have thought it ad
viseable to give notice that I can spare a large
quantity of Cuttings at three dollars per hun
dred, put up in boxes. They consist of more
than twenty different kinds; among which are
the following :
Catawba, Isabella, Constantia, or Cape of
Good Hope Grape, Bland, Madeira, Schuyl
kill, Muscadell, Scarlet Perfume, Garden
grape, Noble, Thick Blue, Scuppernong, and I
several other kinds, both native and foreign, j
The time of planting being near at hand, or
ders for the quantities and kinds wanted, should
be furnished in the course of the ensuing
month. The process ofiplanting and of culti
vation, and the advantages of vineyards, have
become so generally known, that I deem it un
necessary to add any thing respecting them.

THE JUDICIARY BILL.
IN SENATE.
Monday, February 4, 1833.
SPEECH OF MR. BROWN, OF N. C.
concluded.
Mr. BROWN, in continuation of the soeerb.
of -which the main nart was ruhlishfd in nnr
last, said As he had stated his objections to
me course which the honorable Judiciary Com-
imiiee naa auvised or recommended to the Se
nate to adopt, and deeming it not calculated,
as hon. gentlemen had observed, to preserve
tne Union, but on the contrary, calculated, if
, rr. u imT practical operation, to destroy this
I - . . . . ' .
8lu,lous union, u was proper that he should
state what he thought would best meet the pre
ocin lata, coiisiuerea tne true remedy a
peaceful remedy that of conciliation accor
ding alike with the genius of the Constitution
and the practice of the Government. The re
venue should be reduced to the wants 'of the
Government; and the oppression which the
Southern people labored under in consequence
of the tariff system, ought to be removed. If
gentlemen wished to preserve the Union, the
country should be appeased. This appeared to
him to be an infallible remedy. The one, how
ever, which the Committee had prescribed,
might be fraught with some danger. He was
aware that there was a set of politicians, who
thought this the favorable moment to try the
strength of the Union, and that Government
ought not to concede one particle of the pro
tective system. Can it be posssible, at this day,
(said Mr. B.) that any individual would wish to
jeopardize the peace and harmony of twelve or
thirteen millions of people not only the peace
of a whole people, but to retard the progress of
free governments throughout the world, by an
experiment of that kind? To try the strength
of the Union, and whether it can survive the
use of the military power? He hoped not.
He trusted that our Republic would be hazard
ed by no such speculative experiment.
It is argued, continued Mr. B., that the State
of South Carolina having placed herself in this
attitude of defence, Congress ought not to le
gislate on the subject, as had been said in some
of tfje newspapers, while the sword is brandish
ing over our heads. This is not meeting the
question, it is not the true question it is a ques
tion of a very different character. Are the peo
ple of South Carolina alone concerned in this
matter? Is not a vast portion of the American
people concerned in it? Are not the whole of
the southern States interested in this subject:
It is not onls the southern States, but the State
of New Hampshire, the State of Maine, and a
portion of the people of New York; but a large
and respectable number of the. States in the
south west, which consider the tariff system
unjust and repugnant tj the principles of the
Constitution, and that we have no right to keep
it up. Il is agreed that justice should not he
done to South Carolina, because she has assu-
men
a menacng attitude. This is not a proper
view, it is not just to the other fetates. ls it
any reason, because South Carolina has acted
imprudently, ithat she should not receive jus
tice? If she " has forfeited any claim to the
consideration of the Gene.al Government,
ought the other citates to incur the forfeiture?
Nothing can be more erroneous nothing more
absurd nothing, I will say, more tyrannical,
than to oppress all the southern States, because
South Carolina has acted rashly. I do not,
said Mr. B., argue this question as a southern
queston. Thank God, in the exercise of my
legislative rights and duties here, I can look be
yondJthe Potomac. Thank God, I have a feed
ing which is not confined to the geographical
limits of auy portion of the United States. I
can look and judge of my countrymen north as
well as south of the Potomac; and I wish
it to be distinctly understood, that what I
now say respecting South Carolina, I deem ap
plicable to every member of this confederacy.
To no one of these States would I arrogantly
say I will not do justice, until you come on
your knees before me.
I do hoDe if I have any patriotism, it is not
A r
that narrow, contracted patriotism which is con
fined to geographical limits. I trust, it is that
patriotism which looks abroad over the Union,
and embraces every portion of my fellow citi
zens. And so help me God, if my constituents
were this day to demand that I should per
trate an act of injustice against any member of
this Confederacy that I should do an act in be
half of North Carolina which would trench upon
the rights of Maine or of Massachusetts, or
Pennsylvania, which I believed destructive of
their constitutional rights, so help me trod
would resign my seat and retire to my home,
rather than jeopard the peace of this Republic
this glorious experiment of a free irovern
ment- by taking what justly belongs to Maine,
and unjustly to bestow it on North Carolina,
believing that a man presents a more truly dig
nified attitude who refuses to do an unjust act
than he who perseveers in injustice.
But what are we now called upon to do? We
are called upon imminently to jeopard the pub
lie peace, by a novel and dangerous experiment
to enforce a law which not only a large por
tion of the American people believe .unconsti
tutional, but which 1 verily believe, if the ques

The remedy for evils of the greatest magnitude,
should be sought for in the peaceful tribunals
this country, according to the great princi
ples handed down to us by the English Whigs,
anu which We have infused into the spirit of
If Z Tn and government
found re of a11 lhese means, it shall be

tice, to the wisdom" of CongreSS-to weigh, to
examine the provisions of thatlaw, and solemn,
ly to pause and reflect, before proceeding to
put it in force by military power.
I beg leave, said Mr. B., to advert to what
the President of the United States has said in
his message to Congress, and I do it because
this is the first remedy which the President re
commended to Congress, at the opening of the
present session. I cannot doubt, that if the
Executive wishes w'tre consulted, he would
and decidedly, give the preference to a peaceful
settlement of the difficulties by Congress. I
do not mean to say that his preference should
intluence our legislation, but it ought to have
weight with us.
Speaking of the extinguishment of the public
debt, the President goes on to remaik;
"The final removal of this great burthen from
our resources, affords the means of further pro
vision for all the objects of general welfare and
public defence, which the Constitution author
izes, ind presents the occasion for such further
reduction in the revenue as may not be required
for them. From the report of the Secretary
ot the Treasury, it will be seen that, after the
present year, such a reduction may be made to
a considerable1 extent; and the subject is ear
nestly recommended to the consideration of
Congress, in the hope that the combined wis
dom of the representatives of the people will
dev ise such means of effecting that salutary ob
ject, as may remove those burthens which shall
be found to fall unequally upon any, and as
may promote all the great interests of the com
munity." Again, in another part of the message, the
President remarks:
"That manufactures, adequate to the supply
of our domestic consumption, would, in theab
stract, be beneficial to our country, there is no
reason to doubt ; and, to.effecl their establish
ment, there is perhaps no American citizen
who would not for a while be willing to pay a
higher price for them. But, for this purpose,
it is presumed that a tariff of high duties, de
signed for perpetual protection, has entered
into the iiiinds of but few of onr statesmen.
The most they have anticipated is a temporary
and generally incidental protection, which they
maintain has the effect to reduce the price of
domestic competition below that of the foreigu.
article. Experience, however, our best guide
)ii this as on other subjects, makes it doubtful
whether the advantages of this system are not
counterbalanced by many evils, and whether it
.o"es not tend to beget, in the minds of a large.
portion of our countrymen, a spirit of discon
tent and jealousy, dangerous to the stability ol
the Union."
These are the sentiments of the President
regarding the law which we arc now called on
to adapt extraordinary means of carrying it in
to execution.
As I consider this is a mo&t important point.
as I considerjit the true means of removing the
difficulty now involved in this question, I have
not only adverted to the annual message of the
President as showing the views of the admin
istration, and their remedy for the difficulties in
the south, but 1 would now beg leave to read
fiom the annual report of the Secretary of the .
Treasury.
Here Mr. Brown read an extract from the
anuual report of the Secretary of the Treasu
ry on the subject, of the reduction of the du
ties.
Thus we have the direct suggestion of the
present administration, that this is the mostap
propriate remedy. It is the one which was first
suggested at the opening of the session, and, I
believe n is calculated to achieve all the great
objects so much to be desired, all which it is
necessary to achieve, and that without endang
ering the republic.
What is the extraordinary spectacle, I woulti
remark, which the American republic now ex-
Lhibitstothe world? A republic which has here
tofore boasted of its freedom a republic wlucn
has heretofore pursued the "even and peaceful
tenor of its way" a republic which had been
found competent to all the legitimate purposes
of government without slaughtering its citizens,
and which with very few exceptions, has gone
on nearpfnllv for fiftV years. picscuv
inordinary spectacle of calling on theadmin- ,
istration and the executive
vernment to enforce a law againt portion ot
ourfTllow citizens tocompel them to contribute
so much money to the revenue, which it is ac
knowledged is six millionsnnually more than,
Ts reauisfte for the wants of the General Go
vernment. A removal of that burden would re
move all diflSculty with the State of South Car
olina. Even a partial removal of it a mitiga
tion of it, would make the tariff system more
acceptable to the people, without a total aban
donment of the principles; I speak in reference
to the views and prevailing sentiments of that
portion of the people I represent.
Sir, it does appear to me a powerful consid
eration that we are almost on the eye of a civil
war ; and for what ? to enforce a law for the col
lection of revenue, when it is admitted by the
Secretary of the Treasury that there are at
present six millions of dollars more than is want
ed for thecommon purposes of the Govern
ment. Is this calculated to elevate us in uc
eyes of the nations of Europe? Is this
