nor to the military, until the period when they should be
called on to enforce the ordinance. In this Shape the bill
was passed and sent to the Senate.
The Committee on Federal Relations had not made their
report on the •Prewident's proclamation; It is stated tht.t
Governor Hayne was preparing_his counter proclamation.
A ,public meeting of the State Rights party was held
st
Columbia on the evening of the 18th; when resolutions
were proposed recommending the immediate raising of
volunteers throughout the state. The meeting was ad-
dressed by the Governor and others.
The following document (of which ours is, we believe,
the earliest copy received here) will be read with deep
satisfaction, and will receive entire approval from all who
t.,ke dispassionate interest in the cause of South Carolina.
It proves that there is a sound and redeeming spirit
broadly diffused through the state; and that the career of
the disorganizers will not proceed unchecked even in their
own domains. The grounds of protest, as set forth, are
so undeniably and palpably true and just, that it cannot
fiil to produce a powerful effect upon tl•e followers hf
nullification, who were already astounded and faltering st
the extreme and unexpected lengths to which tl e
nagers of the convention bad gone. The burnin„T
in
effigy of Calhoun, Hamilton, &e., which bad ()centred inseveral districts, manifetes the feelings entertained towards
them by a portion of their constituents, and it probably
has not yet attained its greatest height by much. Dray-
ton, Blair, Mitchell, and others, who, resitting the &lure
ments of the scheme of the nullifiers•for separate dominion,
have retained their all, glance to the constitution, and pur-
sued their patriotic course firmly, through the storms of
denunciation anti unpopularity, in support of t! e true in
terests of their state and of the country, will soon reap a
part of their well •merited reward in the approbation and
gratitude of their fellow-citizens, and the want a which art
exalted by their present oitirse will be inscribed on the
tablet which is blazoned with those of the Rutledge§ and
Pitickneys, who led the destinies of the state in more for-
tunate days.

REMONSTRANCE AND PROTEST OF THE UNION AND STATE

RIGHTS TARTY.
The Union and State Rights Party of South Carolina,
assembled in convention, do remonstrate-and solemnly pro-
test against the ordinance passed- by the State Convention
on the 24.11 day of November last.
I. Because the people of South Carolina elec'e,l dele-
gates ta the said convention under the solemn assurance
that the-e delegates would do no more than devise a peace-
able and constitutional remedy for the evil* of the protec-;
tive tariff, without endangering the union of these states ;-
ins'ead of which, that convention has passed an ordinance
in (Elect viol 'firm of all these pledges.
2. Because the said ordinance has insidiously assailed
one of the inalienable rights of man, by endeavouring to en
slave all freedom of conscience by that tyrannical engine of
power—A test oath.
3. Because it has disfranchised and proscribed nearly
one half of the freemen of South Carolina for an honest
difference of opinion, by declaring that those whose con-
sciences will not permit them to take the test oath shall
be deprived of every office, civil and-military.
4. Because it has trampl-d under font the great princi-
ples of liberty secured to the citizen by the constitution of
this state, in depriving the freemen of this country of the
right to an impartial trial by Jury, 'thereby violating that
clause of the Constitution, intended to be perpetual, which
declares that "The trial by Jury as heretofore used in this
State, and the liberty of the press, shall be for ever invio-
lably preserved."
5. Because it has vio!ated the independence guiranteetl
to the judiciary, by enacting that the Judges shall take a
revolting test oath, or be arbitrarily removed from office,
thereby depriving them of the privilege of trial by im
peachment, which by the Constitution of the State is in•
tended to be secured to every civil officer.
6. Because the ordinance has dir,c,ly violated the
Constitution of the United States, which gives authority
to Congress to collect revenue within the limits of South
Carolina.

.....
7. B,cau•e it has violated the same Constitution in that
provision which declares that no preference shall be given
to one port over any other in the United States, by enact-
ing that goads shall be imp••rted into the ports of South
Carolina without paying any duties.
8. Because it violates the same Constitution, and tram-
ples upon ►he rights of the ci izen, by denying him th-•
privilege of appeal in eases in law and equity arising under
the Constitution and laws of the Union. _ _

9. Because it has virtual'', destroyed the" union, by
carefully preventing the General Government from en•
C.rcing their laws through the civil tribunals of the coun-
try, and then enacting, that if that Government should
pursue any other mode to enforce them, then this State
shall be no longer a member of the Union.
10. Because the tyranny and oppression inflicted by this
ordinance are of a character so revolting, and the effects
anticipated from it so ruinous, that the commerce and the
credit of the State are already sensibly affected, and will
soon be pros►rated; and it; peaceable and industrious
citizens are driven from their homes to seek tranquillity
in some other State.

.....
The Union party of South Carolina, in Convention as-
sembled, do further remonstrate and solemnly prates-
against the project of a sanding artily, proposed by the
party in power, as dangerous to the liberties of the people.
They would respectfully ask their fellow-citizens, whether
such an army must not be confessedly inadequate to po-
tent the Nullification party against the people of the rest .1
the United Stater, should they resolve to coerce them?
What other object, therefore, can such a force accom-
plish than to serve :IS an instrument of tyranny over
their fellow-citizens ?

This convention does further protest against any effort,
by a system of conscription, to force the citizens of the
State from their fire-sides and their houres,to take up arms,
and incur the pains and penalties of treason, in support of
a doctrine which the people were assured was pacific in
its nature, and utterly inconsistent with any idea of dan-
ger to the Constitution or the Union.
Solemnly remonstrating, as they hereby do, against
the above-mentioned grievances, the Union party would
further express tbeir firm determination to maintain the prin-
ciples which have ever been the rule of their conduct; and
while, on the one hand, they will continue their unfalter-
ing opposition to the protective tariffs, so, on the other,
they will not be driven from the enjoyment of those un-
alien dile rights which by inheritance belong to every Ame-
rican c,tizen. Disclaiming, therefore, all intention of
lawless or insurrectionary violence, they hereby proclaim
their determination to protect their rights by all legal and
constitutional means ; and that, in doing so, they will
continue to maintain the character of peaceable citizens,
unless compelled to throw it aside by intolerable oppression.

LIGISLATUAZ or GZORGIA.—In the House of Repre-
sentatives, on the 12th inst:, a substitute -for the resolu-
tions offered, recommending the call of a convention of the
state., and protesting against the nse of force, was pre-
sented by Mr. Turner, and adopted by a vote of 91 to
50. The substitute deprecates the various controversies
which have lately arisen, as tending to a dissolution of
our happy union, and a severance of these states into
hostile communittes, each regarding and acting towards
the other with the bitterest enmity ; and recommending
sundry amendments to the constitution of the United
States, defining the reserved rights of the States—the
power of the General Government to coerce the States,
and then fight to resist an unconstitutional act of Con-
gress—that the principle of protection may be settled—
that an equal system of federal taxation may be adopted—
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court defined—tribuna! of tha
last resort organized, to settle differences between the
states and federal Government—that the power of char-
tering banks may be expressly given or withheld, as also
the power of appropristiug money for works of internal
improvement—disposition of the surp'us revenue pre
scribed—what disposition is to he made of the public
lands—that the election of President snd Vice-President
should be secured to the people in any event—that the
tenure ofoffice should be limited to one term, and that the
rights of the Indians may be definitively settled. A
Convention of the States is recommended fur the purpose
of adopting these amendments.

A public meeting of the friends of the Union was held
at Providence, Rhode iland, on Saturd-4y last, at which
the Mayor of ti e city presided. The resolutions heartily
approved of the proclamation of the President. No
allusion was made to a reduction of the tariff in any of the
resolutions.

MEXICO.
A letter from New Orleans, of the lOth instant, states
that a vessel had just arrived from Brassos, St. Jago, and
hi ()tight a report that General Santa Anna entered the
city of Mexico on the 24th of November. The writer
