paralleled body, Mr.. Bcrren calls it. had remain
cd long enough in session. Our readers have al |
ready been informed that il required tie strength
three South Carolina nullifcrs to ksap orc of Tie
Massachusetts delegation upon his seat, so furious
did lie become Mt the prospect of the Premature adj
journmcnt. The speech he had prepared, as VIC
learn from private sources, to have been deliver
cd upon his motion for the acceptance of the address
spoken of, from which the following is an extract
We cannot doubt but that his speech would have
been sufficient TO secure a unanimous vote for the
address.
These are facts, as is we'll known to YOU
quiet, cowardly and peace loving, but aristocratc
nonopolizing, manufacturing, Clay -favoring, and
Federal people OF New England; YOU South op
pressing, JNckson hating, ping, bank-sup
porting, Goldfish eatching people of Massachusetts;
or, to sum up In single opithet, all that true
southern man considers hcrctical in politics and
dannablo altogcthcr,-you YANKEEsi to have been
born among whom, is admitted by many OF the
doughtaces and soft heads We have among u.s. is
10 have been born of sin, and to reside among
whom, is to live in the outer courts of Toplct
who arc daily reproached with your errors but
who spend the time which should be devoted to
repentancc,-in the making of broadcloths; who
are constantly conJured to reform your ways, and
follow our mugnaniRous example, but who CONT
nue. to--nake money; who continually told that
the siave-holding States pay two-thYis of all the
duties, because they produce that proportion of the
eXPorts,-amd who will not believe; whose exis-
tence was unOrtunat cly not toresssi, " nan I7oeos
parcciled out the curscS from Nount ThaI but
VINO arc entitled 10 the whole assortment:-vou
to return to tho phrase descriptive of all evil YOU
fANKEEs;-you that live in a country barren as
| Sahara until you forced il to boar; whose crim
nal enterprise braves the which surround Won:
whose lmplous ingenuity makes piles of rocks to
produce abundontly; whose perseverance, in OWL
DONG turns impossible streams into rivers of rich
eS; and whose rapacious lust raYishes even from
the sterile earth her mineral and vegetable riches:
you Yankees, that live in the centre of all this
Wickedhess, think you not that these things are
"set down IN note book?" Learn, and tremble as
you learn, that "thc generous South" has borne and
torborne, until her patience, like short rudder
TO light ship, is not sufficient to guide her. She
Is rising In her wrath. She is no longer TO be 90
verncd Where her strength moves, the earth is
| b!ackencd by the numbers and the terrible appear
ance thereof. Every rice swamp sends its tribute
She is no more TO be resisted than Lcviathan; no
| more to be caught than the Sea Serpent. With
strong arm will she demolish the Tariff of your
love, and deliver 1t up to the cruees of DIR. Coo
per; with bilious look will she frghten your Young
damsels, and ruin the hopes If husbau,is like Lao
c"ons Ncrpents will she destroy both root and
branch tevea GOV. Branch, and al his accessaresj:
IKE Tho OrasshopPers OF Egypt~U ii she jIeStr6y

She then sink ali your vessels; aud from Governor
''"ulitohS message viii you learn that your STAT
Is al in the fire." that your spinning jenneys have
i taken black husbands, and your machinery been
gwen up to the Georgia stCrackers." Let us be-
seech you, at your Tariff Convention, to use the
confess
| nltude CT transgressions which few, except our
friends IN this body, suspect; and fewer still har
oencd as ye are, have tine grace to repent
iou have had the hardihoed TO prosper under
the operation of system which South Caro-
Ina supported for her own benefit: not for YOURS
thus purloining bone (for is palmer to reduce alb
stractons into bodily shapcs) which she lad laid a.
side Tor her own picking. You have acquiesced in
and supported system Of Internal Impro nts of
her proposing, thus obliging her to recede, or TO
share an honor which she intended to have enioved
alone and the spirits of our fathers applaud our pre
terence. Hlay our backs Jingle under the flourish
es OF our own Palmetto, if we had not rather mi
crate to Arkansas, than share either honor or pro-
mt with such a national, Industrious, spirtless and
| ePlthet-bearIng people! Have you not had the in
science to manufacture and sent back to Carolina
her own Cotton, cheaper than see received it from
Europe? Haveyo not spoiled her European vow
ages, and her visions of foreign trade, by consum
ing her whole produce? Have you not grown fat
! as she grew loaEl Did not your people begin to
| stay at home, when hers began to en,iGrate7
Have you not bought up the members of Congress
with brides? Can she bear these things any ongcr7
! She has scoded, and you have not re Piled She has
| threatened, and you have only shrugged yonr
shoulders She has bitten her thunbs and YOU
have never enquired wherefore? And finally she
! sent the chief of her magnates to reprmand vo1s-
i'll the Senate, which he did in good round terms
| and Mr. Webster sent him hack twill, nc, j.; H.;

Now, ms reasonable mon, let us appeal to vour
magnanimlty, your patriotism, your love for the
Union, and ask you to consider these thinps seri-
| ousy4 and TO weigh we'll the consequences before
| you persist IN mlnding your own business in your
own way. AS Free Trade men, rs Anti-tarifT man
as Southern men, VIC cannot consent to be held
| accountable for the result of such plain ralpaklo
| and dangerous infracions of the constitution and
! we must sit down upon chartered rights We
nave already enumerated sufficient canses for the
wrath which bos in the South, and with tie over
howings (which you must inevitably DO scaldgd
Dut we must pile Ossa upon Pclion, and multipiv
your ParsImony by your avaricc, to find the pro
quot OF your sins. our peetiferious Influence is
felt in ways utterly incomprchensiblc to us who
suffer by 1T. When sells at seventy cents as
II did last winter, every purchaser that tho Ia

uionoPolizcd our schools, and imposed teachers
upon rs who cannot remedy our ignorance, Inc can
not trace the operation from its cause TO its effect
And again, when pork sells at four cents the pound

high price ofsoollcns. If our rice crop falls the
reason is Obytous, and if our slaves decarnp a. fur

cohslitutionni!ty Of the 'grif. In short we Lave
