produce the contamination desired by the opponents Of
the protective system well every true patriot and
friend OF the Federal Union Separate action upon this
subject is calculated engcnder strife and disuno, anar
chy and confusion, among brethren OF the principles

The mystical doctrine Of Modification, contended for
by its advocates has only tended bewdcr the minds of
the people, nilame their passions and them

the most bitter strifes and annoes, and dssoiyes the
most endearing relations OF fc believe Modification to

Its advocates have, with great ability, endeavored to
make their theory harmonze with the principles ope
rations Of our Federal aud State systems of Government
But In my opinion the very OF their doctrine tends
directly TO destroy all harmony between the Federal aud
State Governments aud must inevitably produce the most
direct vexatious conflicts whenever il NAV be at
tempted by State TO enforce the theory of Notification
an unable TO comprehend conceive Of the peaceabc
constitutional harmony, which would attend

erations OF the Governmcni.Grea ingenuity has been
exercised to blend this theory with the admirable
principles anoctrines of Rights as set forth and
successfully advocated by Thomas Jefferson. But after
the most dilgen research, have been able find
where Mr. Jefferson attempted to delude the people
into the belief that when failed, and endurance
became inoerabe single State could by of null
hhcaion, force the Federal Government reract from its
measures Of usurpation. Mr.. Jefferson would have
called such measures the part OF State, by its plain
proper name; resistance to intolerable usurpaton.
Georgia should suffer herself be deuded or fiat
tered into the belief that her rights have heretofore
maintained upon the principles and doctrines OF nnca-
may look back with pride and PAIN past con-
ics with Federal usupation. Upon several occasions
we have been compelled 10 throw upon
served rights and resist Federal encroachmens but
have never yelled ourselves i'm the msy peace
able constitutional notification In these delicate aud
highly responsible acts Georgia has always relied
own population, the justice OF her cause, the virtue
and intelligence OF the people OF the United States to
sustain her uBquestonable constitutional rights And
hitherto confidence has misplaced we have
had able friends and advocates in every part the Union
who have stood by US in times Of the greatest peril We
narlu el.ar
the intercourse laws and Indian treaties of the u States
when in fac these laws aud treaties asidc and
mad become ncasurably obsolete by the and assump

her course OF policy has only nuled the arrogant sssup
uohs OF sovereign power, claimed aud etup by
