Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1828-12-16

tle Froup ticket having succeedcd met at Milcdre-
vile on the first Wednesday, when her nine votes were
given to Andrew Jackson for President, secen to VIM
Smith Of s. Carolina as Vice President and ico to
Jno. c. Calhoun.
STor this vote 1t appears that Georgia still u,,s il,
remembrance, Mr.. Cal:ouus treatment of Mr. Cruw
ford, and it enonsi,utcsthat the Vice PresI,n. can
not obtain the vote OF his next neighbor for the Pre-
sdency, the Tariff und his rcsert constitutional OPP
iilSns notwithstanding.
So1ah Cnb'iDn From Columbia We learn that Tic
Legislature mau!icsts determination o. reducing the
salaries of officers OF government bnt have at the same
time, declared it agcpcdent REFUGE their own com
1t.nsaton! Very natural!
The antitariitcs begin to show their bristes in the
Legislature. Six sets of resolutions have been pre-
scented by as many gentlemen i'll opposition to the ia
riff, to wit Messrs Legarc Nixon, Preston, Thon,p
son, Cook and Smith.
MIR. Lcgarc IS opposed 10 the proposition Cor call
ing State Convention, and for ntifyiug the Tariff
aci but to enter on the Journals OF Conas solemn
protest against the law ud to procure the co-opcra
ZION of the other States for lis repeal. NJ. Vixons
scheme Is to demand the modification repeal Of the
act at the present session Of Congress- il! not grant
Ell, to recommend 70 the people the call of General
Convention to be held ut Columbia. Mr.. Prcston's
resolutions only declavatory of the unconstution
atty OF the act, but do not recommend INV specific
Of proceeding. Nr Thon,sons are of the sa,no
spirit and tenor; but look TO the can Of Convention
AFTER tme Is allowed to Congress for revision OF its
policy in relaton to tho es.'C Patriot, Dec. s.
We do not learn what the resolutions of Messrs.
Cook ind Barnwell Smith propose. II seemed to be
ihe prevailing opinion, that the likely to
be adopted, "would be rernonstrance and watiDg for
is effects" Such moderation is exceedingly praise
worthy! We looked or nothing else bat that tho Lee
gslature ofS Carona would demand the repeal OF the
Tariff under the penalty of their high dsplcasre and
dissolution of the Union! We annex Mr.. Prtstons
resolutions for the purpose of letting the Virginia
reader how differently that gentleman cursstrues
fire Constitution from MIR. Madison. The latter, in
his letter to the Editors Of the Lynclbug Virgiuan
declared that the power of protecting manufactures
not only given By the Constitution Bat tz to goe
s., was one OF the principal objects i'll forming it. Mr.
Preston, it Will be observed, thinks differently
to1vsti. Dec. 2.O uoon of tUGH s. LEeAaE the House
resolved ite Coanntteeof the hole Mr. ELLIOTT in the
Chain. The Governors Mcase the Tariff rad Also,

frcfory exhibit OF the Funds of Internal Improvements

10 enlighen the profound ignorance which generally
prevails (ard which we acknowledge to have shared

greted that the State has lost so much from bad in
