TUESDAY, November 4.
General McA'eo adj and laid on the tae the flowiuo
preamble and joint resolutions anst the doctrine OF Nu
libcstion:
The course lately adopted by the State of South C.ro
ma in calling on for the purpose Of attempting
to nuiiy the Congress, commonly called the Ia
rim Laws" hy their siogle authority presents crisis
which calls for expression OF the opinion OF this Legis-
Iaure. Iii subject which involves the principles up
on which our sacred Union is formed well as the fu
lure plopects OF our happy country; and cannot re
mii silent upon Blu in the iii. charge Of this duy
would observe hat high resp CT, which is due to sove-
reign State, whom We regard our brethren Ynd How
ezens, however widely may differ with them OPT
al D. az 20 the mode OF redress they have propo.ed.
we do no! believe that one State by its auiho-
y, set aside and nuy the acts of Congress- passed ac
Sorling TO the forms OF the constitution.
The State oil Kentucky has had experience on this
subject She has ever been the ardent and friend
nj ,sl
Jealous eye, the entertainments of the Federal Govern
nent She has, than once made successful appeals
70 the enlightened patriotism of her sister States
Jaws which were believed TO be made in violation OF the
reserved rights Of tho States But il is with feelings of
1eep regret That We have brethren of S. Carolina
hastenng to nterpose her single The utorty
oil the laws oil the Union, when the spirit of con-
caon IS awakened TO hear and redress their grievances
we confidently hoped that the modification of the Tariff
at the last session OF Congress- would have been regarded
as strong indication OF the spirit since manifested bv the
people in the other states on this subject from which il il
evident that the taxes will be reduced TO the necessary
wants OF the Government whilst at the same time pro-
lection Will be retained such articles essential to
our independence IN time of war, with gradual rcduc
uo OF the taxes upon all the necessares OF life
oy the great body OF the people; and than this can
o e"sonapy oe required by any state. But it seems,
ha portion OF the people of South Carolina were un-
willing TO wait Tor of the in the manner thus
anticipated; AMI would take the into their hands
Inc stale oil Kentucky cannot agree with them nei-
Their IN the right claimed the pursued TO redress
their complaints There other peaceful and con
sutonai ways provided, by which the political
OF the States can be adjusted.
IL improper grants of power have been made TO the
Federal Government any State well Congress have
the lgh TO propose amendments the states who
as component parts oil the Union will either adopt or re-
ect them; orif on the Other hand, the power granted
abused or exercised oppressvely upon any the states
circumstances ana the discussion OF the subject before
an enlightened community, will always cventuate i'm OBJ
tanning justice: until the administration of the Govern
men sh id into the hands OF parry regardless of that
spirit oil compromise which produced Union a Pc
rod which we hope is yet far dstantI is impossible
that remonsrancC .nd appeal to the patriotism of our
w ever ai OF success if founded substantial grounds
The experience OF Kentucky fully confirms in this Cpl
mon. r.
We would therefore earnestly intreat our fellow
citizens oil South Carolina pause before they adopt anv
rash measures which may lead 10 consequences danger
Gus TO the peace and prosperity of country
ne Legislature and people OF Kentucky them
selves 10 be the seadlas friends of the Union and tkey
cannot consent 10 its authority laws set aside by
any member and whilst assure our southern broth
rem That we will hear their complaints with patience and
ana IN redTcssng their real grievanccs-yet we must
S0eWny protest against the rosorted by them
ana take our stand on the side OF counryour whole
couniry.-Therefore,
ResoiUed by the General .qssemJly of the Common
tcedM V kentucky, That the doctrine advanced by the
Legislature OF South Carolina, that any one state has the
right TO nuIy and set aside law OF the United States
contrary TO the constitutions and would be destructive TO
the peace and harmony OF the Union.
Resolved, That ''the Federal Union DO preserved"
