To resort to force, is at . once to prefer a disso
lution of the. Union to its preservation. South
Carolina has declared, that . she admits of no
m biters but her Co-States assembled with her in
their sovereign capacity to den to ! her this
preference : is to admit that our league has no
conservative principle, shirt of an tapoal to the
sword. To suppose, when one ?of bur most
prominent oijections to: the Protecttye System is
ita unconstitutionality, that . this ianli -the other
vexatious and conflicting, questions of construc
tive poweri which I now 6otivuls the whole
country, are not susceptible of osnpromise or
adjustment in ah ; assembly i of equivalent i au

is to amrm that tlrat spirit of araitV and justice

tVe have not governrapnt enough for
icmr
great tnen; the; people are not ground dojwn
f?npigii; enough of their substance is bot
fil?hbdfrom them to support fiery ambition
and princely indolence. The Union must
be destroyed to make more covcrnments
that the people may have more riders.
Tiiofe j whoaniiot ride in Washingion,
may M able io ride! in Charleston. They
must destroy our prosperity, that they may
reap jgljtry from the people's misery. Rath
er thanj live obscurely in I leaven, they would
cliangej it into Hell, that they may be the ru
lers of Ithe miserable.
Whai separation from the Union would! be
to South Carolina, it would be, more .or less,
to every other' State. All must have their
separate establishment, military and civil:
! and duif people would be reduced by Wars,
ana taxation, to the condition of BrUiah
paupers, while all the profits of their labor
beyond a bare support, would go to support
those who would ride them "booted and
spurred., .
In'contemplating these results, who Will
not say, our patriotic Chiet Magistrate,
federal jUriion must beproterved.P'
Vy ho will not resolve to preserve it, if need
be, with his life, its fortune and his sacred
hmorF GUr.
Tlielaws of the United States give, or may
be made to give a right of appeal to the Supreme
Court. : But we see that Mt. Calhoun advise,
or at least suggests that the Stale, by proper en
actments may prevent the party prosecuted from
obtaining a copy of tkr record from the State, so
as t 'avail Jximself of this appeal. This is a
shocking aaggestion. I Can he hope to find a
Judge m the State Court who would obey such
a law . The work of 'corruption must have out
stripped even imagination, if he can .
! VejEeel little apprehension of conviction; but
if they do take place, and the individual suffer,
the United States most indemnify him. if he
suffers ' death, of his persecutors will attend
his obsequies. The wh.de course, however, of
the 'State Right Party,' (as they style thera
seKe,; shows that they are too apprehensive
4 getting iato the wrong, to push things to such
extremities. , 0 1
f The only further step for the Treasury be
partuient to lake, will be to order the collectors
of some of the adjacent ports to beset our bar
hours, and, if necessary, add to them a lew ves
selsof war as the existing laws allow. Not for
the purpose of blockading, for that prohibits in
gress jand egress, and is applicable only to war,
but to arrest such vessels as leave our ports
wjt iou a clearance. .This o.Tence, I believe in
ordinary cases, is punished w iti only a pecunia
ry fine; but if the cause of refusing her a clear
ance, be the. delivery of her cargo without a per
mit, (beyond a very mpderate amount,) it is for
fenere. also. The fact of thecaaae of refusing a
clearance, it is easy to obtaia proof of; and if it
can be supposed that the United States Court in
this Slate will he so trammelled by State Lecra
Ia!on,fai to impede the infliction of the legal pen
alty; it is easy to order the prize into other ports.
Thus the machinery is complete for carrying into
effect the revenue laws of the country, not with
standing any course of penal legislation into which
tke-Stato Legislation may be surprised ur hur
ried.
"Difficulties may arise with wgard to this

Ther is already, far too much of exasperated
feeling among our people from other causes of im
mediate! and una voidable pressure. The efforts
of everyjtrue friend to his country should be di

source of exeftement by the premature discussion
ofthe8jbjoe of the next election, ,1 aiu twro
Uispoood to unite hi an endeavor to shut up tiiose
