who may dissent from the san,e that Georgia as or
OF tho contracting parties to the Federal Constitution
and possessing equal rights with the other contractiu
party VIII insist upon the of that instru
inent, contained in said REPORT, and will SUBMIT TO
other.n
Georgia then will RESIST further increase of n,
tariff in all and:every shape that is 10 say BY ARMS
She vii! "insist upon her construction of the cousu
ton, and will SUBMIT to no other,n At the yer
moment that Georgia is thus uttering menaces shoa,
the General Government persist ia the powers of m,
hing improvements and increasing the Tariff the grea
State of Pennsylvania by her Legislature has recop
nzsd the legitimacy of both powers and recommends
'he'r further nse to Congress. What is the genera
government TO do? Is the construction of Georgia,
that OF pennsylvania TO be received as the true con
structon? If Georgia will take up arms to resist far
Their encroachment upon her interests by an increase
the tariff, muy not Pennsylvania whose interests arr
equally inVoVed demand that increase at the point
the hayonele
It's to be deeply regretted that aur state should hole
this language to the general government or what pos
sbe avail can il be, since acting upon the known wish
es OF tbeir constituents, congress are compelled b,
every obligation 10 increase the tariff, If a majority O
the people of the United States wish il. Can Geor
lgia expect TO drive the majority from their purpos.
by menacess Why then resort 10 them, The inner
fiction of the constitution in providing no derner fri
buual for the decision of conflicting questions of rp
between the State and Federal Governments is beco
ming more and more manifest
The decisive testimony of Gov Coles and Mr. Gil
mer as to sir Jefersons opinions of Gen. jackson,
Illness tor The Presidency, has thrown the jackson
editors into perfect rage. They storm and rave
and endeayor TO escape its poin;iu Yain-hae,ei Ia

their ingenuity cannot bntr not whether Mr. JET
iersons good opinion of Mr. adams was not depreci

and established opinions of Mr. Jefferson of Genera
Neutrality-suspicious. In their nature unsuscep.ibI

jackson, which could not be changed Still the yea
Of Gen. Jacbson's friends call upon the public credu

vocal expressions of his disapprobatoD Mr.. Jefferson
favored The present success of Gen. Jackson. Dc
they wish TO degrade Mr.. Jefferson in the opinion
