"'fhose iusoleR romurks Of tho Uhig which arc
Inter spcrssd among tn. observations Of Mr.. Goode
md another article on the same subject from the
saue paper. which 30 alss add, placed before
oor reaAers index Of toe opinions OF the Clay
party in Virginia and elsewhere concerning the pro-
Ceedngs Of this Ssate against the usurpations and
tyranny Of the general governmont. 1t romans for
the sovereign aut horty of this State to determine
whether such insults and approbrum from Mr. Clay
and his partiznps repeatedly heaped upon her cou-
rage, her consistency her motives, her power, and
her character, snail become the settled opinions Of
Unnkind. We will continue 10 rely, have
heretofore done, upon the stamina Of South Carolina
spirit, rmness and chivary, for redemption Of tho
pedges she has given to tho southern States, and the
fronds of freedom aud the Constitution throughout
tbe Onion There Is possibility of retreat, With
out disgrace to her character and ruin to her citizens
She must rely upon her energies now, and upon
that close bond OF intimate union, which links to-
gBthrr the southern States N tics which power
fpl and common, for success in the great cause of
preserving the union OF these States upon the orici-
nal terms Of the Constitution--upon which slopo it
a)ther can, or ought to be preserved We aro Glad
70 find at the head Of affairs in Virginia and Goorga
snch mon as Governors FLoYD aud Gu.mnR. They
personally know the utter contempt Of the Sonstiu-
tion which the eonbined majority Of Congrc. per
rrtuaily feel and practices Phoy duly appreoiai tho
omentous character OF the present crisis, and have
hfmness enough to meet it."
4Sc Telescope will find whom tho tune conuus, If
tnliappily, IL shall comc-that coaxing, will prove
quite as inefecual in inducing Virginia to embark
With South Carolina n her proposed crosade against
the Union, Us bullying Inns proved IN regard to tho
Thrift We told the editors of that paper in Ise8-
ye told them again in the wintc- OF $3.50, when
their missionary TO Washington directed to tarry
awhile at Richmond in transit. and sound hoy far
the political intelligence around the of Govern
n1ent was wiling TO 60 m resistance-we told the
telescope then, that Virginia would neither taste
nr touch, nor handle, the uccnrsed thing Vhe
march Of pubic opinion since that tfuDe has been in
the contrary direction to the wishes Of tho Telescope
Hhe policy Of South Carolina herself, in contributing
10 the election of Gen. Jackson has built up wall
OF separation between the Interior objects of Virei
MIA md South Carolina. we repeat that every in
dfr.atfon hvors the idea that Virginia will speedily
become an extensively manufacturing State--thnt
every change Of individual opinion Is to that side of
the euestion-thnt IN our opinion, public feeling,
tsr from symp athising IN the violent extrcurtes,
which few I'VE include not the people Of S. CO. fa-
ratfeal politicians in that State continue menace
most decidedly reprobates and abhors them If then
''by that close bond Of intimate union, which links
together the southern States" the Telescope means
something still! stronger than the love Of Virginia
tire Understanding that V draw her from that
and link her to Sonth Carolina confederation in
Observation-Disclosures Of potent efficacy
cuough to detach her from the Union with all its IN
Vulnerable advantages and place her the frontier
Of a confederacy, impotent IN comparative strength
where she would indeed prove bulwark to South
Garofnn, but would have the whole heat aud burthen
az the day to bearwe say if this is what the Fee-
scope means by ''the bond of intimate union,"
Mr.. Rtchio will tell him in the words Of his favorte
quotation, mot TO lay the fatterng JUNCTION to hrs
sDn" If by those words nothing moro is implied
than the expectation, that Virginia will unite with
South Carolina, in firm, decided, but Constitutional
opposition TO the Tariff in that event, Our wild and
scattering contemporaries of the Telescope, may not
reckon without their host. As TO the aid which is
expected from Gov Floyd, that is ridiculous to
require notice-seeing that the chief magistrate of
Virginia has no official influence.
The Telescope is pleased to construc what VIC said
Ut the time of the debate on Mr.. Eppes proposition
10 Yescind the Committee Of Manufactures, as ian
index Of the opinions of the Clay party Virginia
ind elsewhere concerning the proceedings Of this
State Is. c. against the tyranny and usurpation Of
che Federal Government" Yea verily-and not Of
tho Clay party merely if the Telescope will insist
Upon il that there IS such partybut of the modcr
Ute of all parties. Why Mr.. Clay should be dragged
in by the Telescope, not, unless the editor of
tho Telescope thinks there charm in his name 10
1ipde prejudice and every roncorous feeling. Dir
Clay has given insult to South Carolins that we
know Of, unless the firm and stedfast adherence 10
Ills own long entertained and always avowod opiu-
ons, be considered insult by those, who deem every
net ofthc General Government IN opposition TO their
views tyranny and usurpation-the mdest terms
which the dictatonal arrogance Of the South Carroll
ia Junto, ever doigns TO apply.
SGcucs at Wa'htnyton-Tnsidtou ric0s regarding tue
Public Lands
we have expressed tho opinion, that dark projects
were entertained by Presidential ospirants, in
respect to the Public Lands, and auxiliary to tho
Accomplishment Of their personal and ambitious OBJ
iccts. The incidents of the late debate at Wash
iugton, seem to have made this impression on the
