Mr.. Eiitor: tic su"i.-rrs have e.,,-
mcnced their wosk Violence and despolisn,
have become The order OF The day. On Sat
ufd.y last they gave US a practical iu.tra.
ton OF their doctrines. Perhaps there ba,
not ocenrred since The reign of terror, mora
dsgracefal scene than took place on Satur.
dag, The 18th of this month, at Stony Poin,
in this district
a number OF gentlemen of that peigbbo,.
hood gave public dinner, to which all tba
candidates for the Legislature for Abbe,Ms
district were invited. Gen. Tucker, one on
the representatives in Congress irem ri,
State, and who resides ia the adjoining dis.
trict, was also invited by several individuals.
After the candidates had addressed the peo-
pie. the Committee of Arrangements waited
on Gen. Tucker, end invited him to address
the audience, to which he consented Atthis
moment, however. dinner was ANNOUNCED.
when Capt. Arnold, one OF the Committee of
Arrangements, rose and stated to the mees-
Jag, that Gen. Tucker, raamber Of Con.
gress from this State, would Immediately az
ter diuner speak 10 the people.
While at dinner, it was whispered about
among the Nullifyers, that Gen Tucker was
decidedly opposite to them, and was in pos
session OF some facts, which, if disclosed,
would go 10 lrnplicate certain distin guished
individual Of this State, and expose their de.
signs. It was, therefore, Determined not 10
permit him to speak OF this sorae Of thu
Generals friends were spprised, but it wa
thought best that he should make tho attempt,
in order to see how far these men Of war and
resistance were disposed TO go.
Accordingly, the General rose, and nj
that moment the Concert commenced kissing
and shouting. This was responded by the
tain band in different parts OF the company.
One or two called out ''Gen. Tucker cant be
heard in Abbeyiie." And TO add to this in
Famous transaction, the Nalliiieis had placed
pitcher Of spirits, instead of water on the
stand where the General had is spa.k. Find
i1s thas 10 could not proceed, he withdrew.
1 hus 1t Is that the liberty Of speech is to bs
put down by force; and in character with
their principles in this way, will the party
expect TO carry all their points For the hon
or, however, of Abbevile, as Gen Tucker
was about to leave the place, a number Of
the most respectable citizens gathered round
$50
respect, and avowed their disapprobatien Of
the conduet of thu nullifers. Among tho
member was Gen. Hodges, Col Lomax. and
hlr. Smith Of ctoney Point, besides hundreds
OF other citizens,
But let US, for moment, take view Of
the consistency of these brave and intrepid
n sliiilers. Two years ago Gen. Haync and
Col. Hamilton were invited TO the great anti
tarill dinner, given at this place to Mr.. Nc
Duiile. They attended, and were invited TO
speak. 1t wasnet Unconstitutional then for
man to speak out Of his own district Two
years age these same men were for General
JacSson-but now, they abuse the old sol
der, and say ne has less influence than any
President we have ever had. Two wears a.
go these men were opposed to State Rights;
but all ola sudden they have tackled about.
and declare themselves the exclusive friends
of State Rights.
One of these wise nJen, or as they gro
sometimes called, Ee,o lights, mot blaeEghts)
stated IN his speech on Saturday, that tbs
whole revenue system was unconstitutional
What a fortunate discovery We can now
bring suit against the United States, and re.
cover back all the money we have paid into
the public treasury since the adoption of tho
/ edera Constitution. This law suit, and tho

But 1t IS no longer to be disguised and tho
NuiltleFs have embarked in most desperate

and angry elements which result from disap-

session OF their plans, and wili watch their
moyeaients Two thirds of the people are
against them. The friend, Of the Conshta|
