the reader will perceive, that the mes
sage contains genuine Carolina doctrines.
That paper says
"It has been received with much plea

with no little disappointment by the Un-

will doubtless command more attention,
than would any remarks by which we
might accompany it. 1t is document
which reflects high honor oil the Execu-
tive. Its doctrines as to the relative pow
er OF the Federal and State Governme nts
are genuine Carolina doci,ines--and il re-
commends such an arrangement Of the
tariff as would satisfy the South. On
the subject of South Carolina Nullifca-

sing the character, the deeds and the in
fucncc of the mighty Napolcon,-or in
examining in prose scarcely less inspired
than the glowing strains of the Poet,
himself, the works and genius Of Milton
can never appeal in vain TO educated

masters Of the English language: and
when to the beauty Of style is added the
logical force Of well disci plincd and
highly cultivated mind-of Which, as in

the heart the reasonableness, as we'll as
the indispe nsableness to happiness both

reference to the peculiar views of the
