CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY;
rOR.TSUE' li0.N0KE ADVOCATE.
Mr. Freeman: Yourorrcspondent 'A
has again occupied your columns with an
article explanatory of "sweet" Van Bu
ret's Albany speech;; but how - far his
clumsy explanation has succeeded in rec
onciling your readers with his (Van Bti
YenV) sent iments on t he Tariff, I will leave
for ihein to determine, j As for myserf,
if I haye misunderstood the true-meaning
of that speech, (f do not think I have)jl
hope I have not failed to arrive at the
correct meaning cf the language of your
correspondent. Although 1 condemn the
cause which he has' espoused, I admire
the frankness and candour, with which lie
lias avowed himself the ' advocate of
"sweet" Van Buren and his' principles.
He has now taken his stand with some
degree of consistency, and if he can by
a fair and honest exposition of facts, palm
"sweet? Martin' and his principles upon
the South, I, for one, will not murmur,
He has taken 1 tie stand which every Van
Buren man must take, for it is vain and
idle in the-extreme to talk of supporting
a man and at the same time condemn his
principles. How can" we support an in
dividnal except for party or selfish pur
pose in whom we can not recognise a sin
gle feeling or principle congenial vith
our own'? No sir, the idea" is too ;pi
posteous to deserve seridus attention
"birds of a feather flock together."- J
It may be proper here, for me to re
mark, that in the spring of 1 827 Mr. Van
Buren took a tour thrqugh. the Southern
States, and very soon after his return to
New York, a meetii'tr oftho woo! orntv-
. .
OIer? w.is hr.ld in Alhanv atwhich Air. r; U
dchvered a speeca; ot about an liour'isi
icnth. In that speech he took ocrasidh
to expatiate upon the withering and ru
inous condition of the South and upon the
superior prosperity ol his own Stale:
He uses thefollovvtng language, which
I suppose is too plain to require a ' loucL1
.from the elucidating peri of your corres'
pondent "A." "lie put it to the knowl
edge and observaliou of e very man .vh0
heard him, whether there was any thing
snore certain than there is no . not an
1 i.r. o A f l
than the State of New-York. If there
was a citizen of tho State who doubted
it, let him travel, and hq would be con
vinced of his error; ; and if he can desire
to witness a picture of the reverse (that is
the reverse of prosperity and happiness)
let him i pass throvh the Southern States,
and'ifhe did not iurn satisfied with the
superior prosperity of his own state, lie
V. B. would acknowledge his incapacity
to judge in this matter." Here, then, 4s
the language of Mr. Van Buren, on the
10th of July 18c27. W hat was his con
duct in the Senate in '2S1 Did he
extend the arm of relief to an injured and
rumed Stiuthl No, Did he throw the
weight of tiis power and influence on the
sitle of th South to stay the iron hand of
oppression JNo. ' W hat did he do? He
united will) the . .Tariff party and frt'eu
and sealed upon us with a new stamp',
the very evils which had been "sucking
our very heart's hlood" thereby "heapf
ing up wrath against the day of wrath."
But your correspondent says he (Van
Buren) was instructed to do so. Admit
ting then that he was instructed; Mr:
Van Buren had been an eye-witness to
our wretched condition and if he had
been actuated by a spirit of justice and
humanity, he would have resigned his
seat and left' the execution of the deed to
a mbre'calious and unfeeling heart. Thisj
then, is the individual 'whom we, the
victims of his avaricous disposition, are
called upon to elevate to one of the most
honoured and distinguished offices withm
our gift. Mr' Vran Buren id speaking of
inc sunject oi protection says, "upon the
general subject, -the sentiment of the
Stale now is and long has been, in accor
dance tvith the acts of the government."
He represented the people of Nciv York
in the Senate, and it is hardly to be pre
sumed that they would have selected
him if his sentiments did not accord with
theirs, consequently they must have been
in "accordance with the acts of the gov
ernment;" and if they were, he cannot be
looked upon in aoy other light than going
the fdll length wttb the tariff party for
the principles of protection.! Yoitr cor
respondent says -"Does a subscriber
wish to ruin and annihilate - manufactures
4c." To this 1 would say, itls far from
being ray wish to "ruin and annihilate"
manufactures, neither do uesire the man
ufactures to "ruin and annihilate" South
ern labourers. Again. "Because Mr. Van
Buren is a farmer and raises sheep, and
corn, fodder and' hay to feed them in the
winter, by working bis farms I can not
perceive- heJ is injuring the country.
Who has complained merely because Mr.
Van Buren raises sheep and corn;.fodder
aai hay to feed them in the winter! Wo
do not complain of t h a t , neit her do w e
say that he is,bysimply working his firms final with he decision of that department,
injuring the 'country. AVe complain that ( But the proper answer to - these- objec
he has greatly aided in tho enactment of ' tions is that the resolution of the Gener-
- I
laws, distressingly, burtliensome to the
boutberu peoplo tor the protection of "Mm
wool and for the portection of Northern f
manufactures We complain that he had
been an eye witness to the ruinous effects
of those laws, and had refused to extendi
to us the arm of relief. - In relation to t he
bill i which -has been lately adopted by
Congress and which your correspondent
says effects'a reduction in the revenue of
8 or 10 millions f dollars, I will quote
the opinion of Gen. ,Hayne. 1 He said
'he nad examined its . provisions careful
ly, j He Was perfectly satisfied that it did
not propose to effect a reduction in the
revenue of more than three or xfour mill
ions of dollars and of this nearly the whole
amouui was .on unproieciea articles. Bo
far, it aggravated the injustice and ine
quality of which the South had so loudly
complained." Our worthy and patriotic
Senator, Mr. RIangum. says, "it is a bill,
the effects of which would amount to a
robbery if not sahctidued by legal forms,
and declared that if he conld give it his
sanction, directly or indirectly, he should
consider himself as falsifying all the prin
ciples on 'which he had acted through
life." .Her0 then is .the bill which has been
given us by the friends of MrV Van Buren
and which is held out as a boon to draw
us into his. service. But it is also said,
we must support him in order to unite
and sustain the Jacksou .and Republican
parties. Pray sir, how long has Van Bu
ren been the ' cement .of those partjes?
U'atie uniting and sustaining the repub
lican party when he was acting with Mr.
iCiintuii against Mr. Madisou? Where
was he' when Gen. Jaekssn was first
brought forward?. Where was your cor
respondent A. ami the balance of these
good Van Buren men? Were they' not
airing all their power and influence to blow
i.ey not instrumental in l"he circulation of
Jesse Benton's scurrilous letter? And
these very individuals claim to be the ex
clusive guardians faf the Jackson party.
The South cannot, she will not support
"sweet" Martin Van Buren.

NULLIFICATION NO. 2.-
It v. ould seem . i; e essary to multiply
authorites to shew that the parties to
the compact are the sole and rightful
judges 01 the meaning of . that compact
It is a proposition which must strike the
plainest understanding as r self-evident
and axiomatic. It must ever be born in
mind that the Government of the Uni
ted States is one of limited, powers,! ex
presly denned by the Constitution that
the powers granted are definite and spe
cific and all ot her j owtrs not expressly
delegated are reserved to the States and
to the People. The General Govcrn
nm is a joint agency appointed by the
States, the measure of whose pow
er is the Constitution. It is not a par
ty to the compact, but a creature of it.;
It is in all respects subordinate and infe
rior to the States. By their voice was
it. (the General Government) called into
existence, by their voice can it be alter
ed or 'annulled. Each individual State
can righfully put her veto upon the
unauthorised act of any department of
the Government, whether it be a corrupt
Legislatgre, Executive or Judiciary. A
State can say to each,, or all combined,
"keep thy distance due" "thus ., far
shait thou go and no farther." : But the
ener.iies of State interposition-oppose the
principle of Nullification, and yet hold
the opinion that the Judiciary can pro
nounce on the constitutionality of the
laws, and either sanction them or declare
them "null and of no effect." They
would trive the Judges the power- of
judging of the Constitution, and vet the
exercise of a similar right on the , part of
a sovereign State they repudiate . as a
"damnable hersey." V j
In a former commufwation I quofed
the opinion of Chief Justice Marshall to
prove that the Judicial power should not
be regarded as the expositor of the Con
stitution. To this I might also add the
authority of Thomas. Jefferson and James
Madison as contained in the1 celebrated
Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, and
the opinions of many of the ablest jurists
and statesmen of oar "country.
': Mr Madison in bis report on the Vir
ginia Resolutions says, "It has been ob
jected (to'the exercise of State interpo
sition) that the Judicial authority is to be
regarded . as the sole expositor of the
Constitotionr on this subject it .might be
observed, first, there may be instances of
usurped powers which the forms of the
Constitution could never draw" within
the control of the Judicial department;
secondly, that if the decisions of the Ju
diciary be raised above the sovereign par
ties to the Constitution, the decisions : of
other departments, not carried by" the
forms of tho Constiution before the Judi
ciary, must be eqcallf authoritative and
al 4icaibly relates to those great and .'
extraordinary cases, ia which !! tho .
fornis of the Constitution may prove ia
ellectUal against infractions dangerous to
the essential rights of the parties to it. .
The reolation supposes - that dangerous
power?, not 'delegated, may not only be
usurped and exercised by other depart '!
ruents but that ,tho J udicial depart- !
ment may. also exercise or sanction dan j
gerous: powers bey oud the '-rant of the J
Cousuf utiooi aiidj consequently that the
ultimate right,of the parties to the Con
stituiion to judge whether the compact
u ueen aaugtrously Violated, muat ex
tend tu violations by one delegated au-
thorityjaswell as hy another hy the Ju
diciary as well as by the Executive or.
legisiative." But the Consolid.ti
would not only , elevate the Judicbry a
hove (he other departments of 1 he . . n-
era! Government tut above the Constii
tution itself. . - ,

It contains no principle .'. which every

exhibits no sentiment alarming to' any
but thej friends of consolidation" A ''1
I will conclude the present article with
the opinions. of Mr. Calhouw in relatiQtj
to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court;
In his lajte address, he says, "I will yfeld,
I trust.tofew in my attachment to the Ju
diciary department. I am fully sensible
of its importance and would maintain it
in the fullest extent in its constitutional
powers andi udependence: but iris impos
sible for; me to believe that it was evct
intended by the Constitution that, il
should evei exercise the power in cues
lion, or that if is competent to do so, and
if it were, that it would be a safe deposi
tory of the power. Its powers are judi
cial and! not political, and are expressly
confined by the Constitution to 'all cases
in law abd equity arisiog under the Con
stitution; the laws of the United States
and the treaties made, or which shall be
made upder its authority, and which, 1
have high authority in stating, excludes
political questions, and comprehends1
those only where there are parties ame
nable to the process of the Court. Nof
is this incompetency -less clear, than Us
want of constitutional authority. Theri
may be many, and the most dans er on s in

I might add to the authorities already
3 noted, fhose of Judge Tilghman, GenV
Acxsoni Gov. Giles. Hamiltok, Hayke
Troup, Van BuaEft and McDuffie, and
others equally distinguished to shew thai
the Supreme Court is not the final arbit

In my next I shall prove to thd safis
faction of all unprejudiced minds that
nullification or State interposition Js not '
only a rightful remedy, but also a peace
able one j and that a recognition of the
principle-so far from weakening will give
strength to the Union ;As Nullifiers, we
are neither agitators or disunionists: We
