Messrs Wiley, AT Guire sS HeRry:
 GENTLEMEN-In your paper of the 18th instant am requested to make a public declaration of my opinion on the subject ofSate Rights and Nullifica ton. It Is with pleasure that comply with the re- quest, and only regret that the call had not been made at an earlier day. hold, that it is the duty of every individual seeking public favor rwhen request ed, without conceaiment, to make d candid avowal ofhs sentiments upon all subjects interesting to the people. will remark, that previous to my seeing your paper had prepared and sent to the press document intended for my feow-citzens of the third Congressional District of Alabama, in which my views on both the subjects referred to are briefly stated therefore deem it unnecessary, on the pre- sent occasion, to enter again into argument to prove the correctness of the opinions that am about to advance, It Is fact known to my acquaintances and political associates that am and ever have been opposed, upon principle, to the present Tariff and think the interests of the country require that it should be modified, My opposition to the Congress Of the United States exercising the power of appro prlating the moneys of the Nation, to works of Internal Improvement, the benefits of which con fined to the particular district of country in which the improvement Is located is equally well understood. Indeed am opposed in toto toMr Clay's (by some) much eulogised American System, as believe that the doctrines ncucated by it, if put in successful op- eration Tn thls country, would speedily result in the destruction of our republic. But because am op- posed to these measures, does it necessarily follow that am in favor of applying that as a remedy whichis by far worse than the grievances which we complain of? trust not. l therefore cannot adopt the policy recommended by some of our South Caro- lima politicians l do now and have ever regarded the doctrine of Modification as being unconstuton- aL cannot readily imagine any thing more absurd than States assuming to herself the right to de- clare volo the enactments of Congress because in her opinion the law Is unconstitutional, and at the same time to claim protection under the laws passed blythe body. lam ofthe opinion that on all ques- lions involving the constitutonality Of law of Con gress, the Supreme Court of the United States is the proper tribunal to pass upon the law; and that werea different doctrine to prevail speedy destruc- ton of the Government would be the consequence If we are deslrous 10 succeed in procuring modif- cation of the Tariff and to curta the extravagances of the Government, let us unite, and by reason and argument shew 10 the American people the impoli- cy of their measures, and rely for upon the justice of our cause and the virtue and intelligence of our countrymen. s. w.

Last week in publishing the proceedings of the 4h at Marion, of those aggravating little which a printer is sometimes heir to, escaped our notice. By using one unlucky type, we made per feet nonsense of Mir c. c. Langdon's second toast. It should have read thus:
 Bye. c. Langdon. Henry Clay-When the fla nous Missouri Question agitated our country, he stood as the Mediator between the North and the South, and sared the Union. He is the only man who can now conciate conflicting interests, re- store to government its lost honor and pour oil upon our troubled waters.
 We, or rather the unlucky type, made Mir Lang- don say that MT Clay pared the Union. Such a work as this would indeed be grand era in the sys- tenn of internal Improvement but it is doubtless up- on larger scale than Mir Clay or his friends would at present be willing to adventure.
 Mir L. may rest assured that the error was not committed intentionally. However much we may be politically opposed to man, we can never sub- scribe to the doctrine of predcating upon that prin- cpe feelings of personal hostility; much less seel, to grafy i'll will (f any existed) by such conempti- ble means.

Dr Woods Address.-A large portion of the first page ofour paper of to-day, is taken up with the n
 teresling address of Dr Alva Woods President of the University of Alabama, delivered before the "Tuscaloosa Lyceum" on the I1th ult We feel assured that the intrinsic importance of the subject which the address relates, dvested of the reflect ed interest which the performance derives from the reputation of the author and his situation in regard to literary history will for it an attentive perusa from every lover of his country-from every votary of science and from all who feel any desire to witness the progressive improvement of human nature. Let not its length create bar to general perusa-let it De read with attention and desire to be understood and appreciated, and we promise that the time so spent will not be found to have been unemployed. We do not look upon the labours of Dr Woods as belonging to Tuscaoosa-the whole State has right to the benefit of the productions of his pen, as she has property in his reputation- Literature is of no place, no time party but it for the whole human race-for those who are to be, as well as those who are and for every sect of re- ligous or political belief.-Huntsoile AdDocate.

The great, the good the patriotic JAMES MON ROE is no more He breathed his last in New-York on the Fourth of July. The American thus speaks on this melancholy occasion:-
 Again our National Anniversary has been mark ed by one of those events, which it may ly be permitted to ascrbe to chance. JAMES MoN- ROB- exPresident of the United States, died yester day about o'clock; thus, like Adams and Jefferson, terminating a long and distinguished life, on the birthday of that Independence which, in common with them, he was so forward to establish and main tain He was not, indeed, like those his great pre- decessors of that immortal Congress, which de- cared, that "these United Colonies were, and of right ought to be, Independent States;' and who "pedged their lives their fortunes and their sacred honor" to make good that Declaration but his youthful blood was shed for, and the subsequent years of prolonged life have been devoted to- the Nation, which by that memorable decision, and the yaOr, wisdom, and forttude, whereby it man- tained, assumed its separate and equal station among the Powers of the earth" Mir Monroes ca reer has, indeed been fortunate one. Passing sue cessively through all the intermediate stations of member of the state and national legislature, of Go vernon of his own state, of diplomatic representa- tive of the United States at various Courts in Eu- rope, of Secretary of State of the United States he was finally elevated to the Presidency; and he aone since Washington, was so elevated without opposition, Dy tne unanimous concurrence 0 all ms feow-ctzens After twice fulfilling the consttu- tional term as President he retired from the chief magistracy, with health impaired, with fortunes d- lapidated, but with pure hands, Dispensing for eight years the patronage of great and ophent public, he returned at the end of that period to the ranks of private life, in honorable poverty, but with the proud consciousness of having faithfully done his duty Broken health, and family affctions con- bined, had attery induced Mir Monroe to remove from Virginia to this city where in the bosom of his daughters family, and amid the most solcitous and afectionate cares of attached relatives and friends he yesterday breathed his last
 Mir Monroe was so much exhausted by his long illness, not to manifest any token of conscious ness yesterday.

1f Caution to Printers dna others--One evening last week an epitome of man, with little bundle thrown over his shoulder, was seen eisurely wend- ing his way to one of the Hotels in this place. His appearance at first excited but little attentions but as as he laiddownhs burden and looked around, his strange necromantic phiz at once awakened cu- riosity. It was soon noised about that he was the precursor of grand carauan of sght-of-hand gem try, wire dancers, ground and lofty tumblers, wax
 figures, &c. and for the purpose of giving the citi- zens foretaste of his wonderful talents in such matters, he proposed giving an entertainment on Thursday week last. He accordingly Gin less than no time" had large handbls posted up at every cor ner to this effect" Mir CLAUS, recently from the Royal Circus, London, and late of the West Indies, who has had the honor of performing before some of the first personages in Europe and America, most respectfully informs the ladies and gentlemen of Tuscaloosa that he will give grand display of his abilities as performer, &c. As was expected, the house was crowded almost to overnowing and we very believe if he had advertised that for the grati- fcation of the audience he would as finale crawl into quart bottle, or turn q nip-1ap somerset and swallow himself, numbers would have believed it and gone to the performance. As il was, it was complete take n-he was perfect bungler-and if we thought our deo could not perform smarter tricks we should wish him cast into the old shoe Mir Claus had quite comfortable benefit, and soon after the performance was over, he carefully deposited his money in the (Pharo) Bank. Capt Sticks company promising him visit and the Bank refusing to cash hls check, he prudenty cut stick on Sunday even. ing, leaving his printing bill tavern b and proba- ply sundry other bills unpaid.
 But to speak seriously-wc feel it daty to eau ton the public against the tricks and imposition of this worthless fellow. As it is likely he is making the tour of Alabama, think printers in this State would do thepselves and the public some service by noticing him in a proper manner
 MT Claus, we have been informed, is frequently Tn the practice of leaving places, always forgetting to pay his bills.

BALTIMORE. July 1.

DALTimoRE, July l.
 Disturbances on the Rail- Road-We learn that Contractor the third division, about 25 miles from Baltimore, by the of Lyons has made off, leaving the laborers unpaid to considerable amount This caused great excitement among them and on Wednesday and Thursday they began the diabo- cal work of tearing up and demoshing the road, and for several miles of it have burnt the rails and de- stroyed every thing that they could lay their hands upon. It will cost considerable amount to repair the injury done. The Sheriff of the county went ont and summoned strong force to arrest the ring leaders, but his authority was put at defiance and the work of destruction went on with pick axe shovel, spade, hammers, sledges and the like They number avery strong and formidable force of up- wards of 300 resolute desperadoes ripe for rebellion and NuLifcati0n In this state of things late yes- terday requisiton made for military force to assist the Sheriff in quelling the riot, and secure those who have been actively engaged in it. Last evening considerable number of troops were em- bodied under command of Gen. G. H. Steuar,, and proceeded in Cars the Rail Road to the scene of action. At the time of our paper going to press we have no advices of the progress of events at the seat of War.-Patriot.
 The troops arrived at the place ofdestnation about daylight and succeeded in experimenting forty per. sons without any resistance, they being mostly asleep and off their guard. They were taken to Baltimore and committed to jail to await their trial. The amount of damages done to the railroad is estimated at about five thousand dollars.
