ern people, (apart from all ohers,) in which they do not concur among themselves, and which have been got up, as can De skO,en sustain the waning glories of John c. Calhoun. This gentleman who in 182i, ran so far ahead for Vice President ir Pennsylvania, because of his undoubted friendship to what is termed the American System, is at present the recognised head of the South Carolina Nullifers. Public and private letters from an un doubted source concur in this belief; and that the public mind in the South to learn how far it would bear the weight of the Morgan excitement.
 It is not purpose to criminate, at this time the views of any politician, for measures which he may have considered expedent for himself or for the country to espouse. We only wish to say, that Nu lifcation has been misunderstood by minority oi the people in this State, ana that the removal of an oppressive Tariff is not its only object North Ca rolina is much interested in the repeal of thai unequal tax as her neighbor and yet what else has occasoned her to dscountenance the dangerous doc Urine of Dsmemberment, but the conviction that all it's views are not yet proclaimed Georgia, another suffering neighbor, has surely lost as much as any other by the mscaled American System and yei we do not find that State about to sanction any of She, however, demonstrated with frmness Gas thi, State has done,) and will use all legitimate means to make our complaints known and respected aad to obtain redress of our grievances. Governor Troup, when solicited last spring to meet the Caro. lima Disunionists in Convention, very promptly gave his views of State Rights, but kept aoof from the trap laid for him by the very persons who, few years since, abused him 90 shockinely, and enbar. rassed every effort of his negotiate for tie balance of Creek lands lying within the limits of Georgia
 Again; Mir Madison, whose opinion should weigh as much as that of any other individual now living has formally denounced the dangerous doctrine that one of these States has the right to separate from the rest and to cancel contract soemnly agreed to in her highest sovereign capacity. Such being the warning we have on this subject, from men whose experience Is all-sutiicent, and whose word we are bound to believe, it would be criminal in us not to repudiate the doctrine of Cooper and Blair, which would heedlessly plunge us into civil war.
 A year or two more of steady constitutional oppo- sition, by the whole body of the Southern States to the obnoxious American System, and we shall doubtless obtain modification of the unequal inn post But years of desoation must follow, should Il single State annul the compact by which they have been recognised joint ntlabourers for their own de- fence and support. We wide difference therefore, between the right that one State has to legislate for herself alone, and the exercise of q power over tcentythree other States equally sove, reign and independent. Because, the act that sepa rates South Carolina from the firm is fatal to the ex stence of all the rest and by admitting her doctrine as justifabe in our opposition to the tariff draw blood from veins and send reinforccments to the enemy.
 It against the expediency, well as the mpre- scrptable right which South Carolina claims to sepa rate from the household, that we have entered oul solemn protest. Claiming, as we do kindred feeling, and an identity of interest with the people among whom we have been raised, it is with sur prise that we behold any effort in a neighborins journal to interpret our arguments into defence o the spendid American System, whose founder wa.
