Conventions were in session during the last
week, both in South Carolina and Georgia,
for the purpose Of obtaining relief from the AL
lodged oppression Of the tariff laws The
Soath Carolina politicians propose To accom-
piish their object by system Of Qualification;
the Georgians, if We understand their senfi-
mpnts. by secession from the Union. The
latter conelemn qualification in very decided
terms, and III the same time claim The pow pr
as well as the right Of secediOg fiOm the Un
ion. whenever in their opinion the national
government transcends its constitutional i'm
its. Now it seems to us, that the distinction
llich is so zcalously conteRded for these two
classes Of politicians, is hardly worth the la
Dor Of an argument. However widely they
NAV. non,inslly, or professediy differ, they
must both meet at one point, il they carry
their measures into effect, and that point is
the severoaee Of the Union, That being The
necessary result of their measures. it is a mat
ter Of little moment whether II is accomplish
ed under the name Of nuiliflcation, or by
voluntary secession from the Union. That
the measures of both lead to this result, can
not be questioned. In the case Of Georgia it
is their avowed object. When, or in what
manner, it is to be brought about, is not thus
lar pointed out. They may withdraw their
! and give notice in form to the national gov
ernment, that thenceforward they will have
M connection with the Union; or, when the
time occurs. they may resist the execution Of
the laws, and the DEGREES Of the Judiciary,
and thus stop by force the power Of the gov
eminent over them. The South Carolina
plan seems to he to resist the government by
preventing the collection OF the customs, and
resisting the enforcement of the revenue laws.
Georgia proposes to make it highly crimi-
nal offence for lawyer, employed as coun-
sci by Cherokee, to question the cOnstitu-
tiOnality Of their legislative acts extending ju-
risdictiOn over the Indian country. or to assist
10 carrying into effect the judgment ofthc SUI
preme Court in the Missionary case. The
last measure, when carried into execution,
will be levying war against the United States.
We should think it hardly worth while for
the politicians Of Georgia to condemn those
Of South Carolina, in the prosecution Of their
system Of measures in opposition to the laws
and government Of the Union. The plans OF
botl, the states are Incompatible with their OBJ
legations, as members Of the confederation, to
support the constitution and laws ofthe Unit
ed States--that Of Georgia being, in our judg-
ment. the most fragrant Of the two. In both
instances they claim, the right of determining
fur themselves what laws Of Congress are,
and what are not constitutional. thereby de-
nying the legitimate authority Of the Judicial
branch Of the government. Each may pur-
sue different course ia reaching the object ia
view; bat, when accomplished. the effects
upon the Union, and the national government,
will be precisely the sa,ne.-N Y. Adv
