The Virginia Resolutions de- dare, that injcase of a deliberate, palpabte aud j dangerous exercise of powers, not granted by the compact, the States who are; par. lies thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interfere fur arresting the progress of the evil, and;' for maintaining within, their respective limits, .the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.' This is a proposition! consider as based upon Jhe roost 'incontestable facts and the clearest conclusions.' Acknowjedgej this rieht of State Interposition, and the question of nullification is one merely of 'expediency. It rests entirely with the State! herself to choose the mode and measure of redress- How the States' says Mr. Calhoun, 1 are to exercise this hich power of interposition, which constitutes so essential a portion of their reserved rights, that it cannot be delegated vntnout an entire sur render of their sovereignty, and converting oar system from a fede- ' ral into a consolidated go vernmenj, is a question that the, States only are competent to determine.' -'5 And . the argumentsj which prove,' con tinues he, that they possess-, this power, equally prove that Vthey care, in, the language of Jefferson the rightful judges of the mode aud measure' of redress.' How this right o( interposition is to be exerc'fsed has excited much discus . siorr and enquiry .among the politi cians of our country. The very interesting manuscript of Mr. Jef ferson, recently discovered by his grandson and "executor, leaves us no room to doubt what were the opinions of thisjdistinguished states. , man upon this question. ' He de litres that when bowers are as sumed which have not been dele gated, A NULLIFICATION of the QCt wTHE RIGHTFUL REMEDY: that every State has a natural right in . cases not within the1! compact (casus non fccvleris) to nullify of their own. authority, all assump- lion of powers by others; within their limits.' By a reference? also to ine: Kentucky and Virginia solutions! it will be seen that they contemplate Nullification as the jproper mode of exercising State interposition. : ' . ' 1 . j: . j L, ' It should be distinctly recollec "ted that Nullification does not in volve & controversy between the, Slates themselves, the parties to the compact ; but that it is a ques lion between a State and the General Government between a party and the agent or creatvrc of ihe com. pact . When a State nullifies aji Act of Congress, it affects not in anywise the relations existing be. tween the " parlies to the compact. Even the! celebrated Resolutions of '98 never contemplated ' conflicing claim of power or any r,ght , . ; & . . ... . between tlte parties themselves, but between a State and the agent of the parties. It has never been claimed by its warmest advocates as a l finat action : this final action upon a law- which a State in her sovereign capacity - has nullified or vetoed is reserved for a higher tri bunal. A Convention of j the States, t hree -four i h s of. which,' says Mr. Calhoun form a power whose decrees are the Constitution itself, arid whose voice can silence all discontent.' Nullification ' is not, then, . a final judgment not an irreversible decree, but a firm and jdeterminedj purpose to resist an oppressive law, until.ihejpreper authority, a Convention !of the Statts-that highest tribunal knwoo under the Constitution, shall pro nounce it constitutional.' Should this tribunal sustain the act ii of Congress, it will then be the !time. and not nil then, to calculate tne ,vs t 'Ml M f T T aue oi me union. Then ihe enquiry will Hrise, Whether 'tjs best o bear the ills we su -Thau fly ta others that we know not of." Th period for nullification wi have passed by it now ceases i be a question between a State an the agenl, but is one between the jtartfes themselvesJ j i ; : This -is South Carolina Nullifi. cation..

V Air Jetterfon says, ' In cases which can i neither be a- voided or compromised, a Con. vention of the States roust be called to ascribe doubtful power to that de partment which they think best.

It has been asserted by the advo. caies'of the Tariff, that it has no effect upon the cotton market. Is this assertion founded in truth Let us see : If the imports of a Iraer. chant are taxed forty per cent, is not his cotton worth that much less to him ? If he carries to Liverpool 100 bags of Cotton and buys $2,- 000 worth of goods with it,l and when lie lands them in one of our ports is taxed forty per cent, or has to pay 800 for the privilege of bringing them in, are not his goods reduced in value down to $1,200 ?

The season which last month (November) set in very coldin France, changed all on a sudden to very hot, which so affected the constitutions of the Parisians,; that there was scarce a family unaffec ted in all that great capital.

Stevens, of bayon's tovrt bpanelds, Clerken well, iried an experiment, of which the following is an account given by himself. I He made! a paper Kite, auoui lour ieei nign spread it over thinly. with treacle, and flew it in the air about half an hour. When he took it down, it; was covi erd very thickly with insects, so small that the eye could not disco ver their form without the help of a glass. They were made- much ike a hedge hog, covered with thick hair, standing perpendicular. What is still more remarkable. when be got within five yards of the kite,1 he found the smell very strong and offensive.' ? cut this multitude of insects in the air might be-rather a concomitant ef fect with the disease, than the cause of it; and the strong and offensive smeu migm oe quite natural to them, as peculiar smells are to otb er animals.
