either publish it entire, or make copious extracts. In
the mean time, we copy from the N. Y. American the
following notice of it,
The Umion.-'I'he President has again spoken to
the nation in the accents Of patriotism moderately hus
firmly. He has pronounced thar Ear depends up-
him the Union shall be indissoisbie; and declared
his opinion that the pretenson Of any State TO OH
struc the execution OF the laws within it's mite,' and
the threat "Of Withdrawing from the Union,' both
alike "purposes TO be regarded as revolutionary in
their character and tendency, and subversve ofthe
supremacy Of the laws and Of the integrity Of the Uu
ions" and he invokes the aid Of Congress- and pedg-
es his determination, far as The laws may aU-
thorze him, to prevent either result. The message
was communicated to Congress on Wednesday last,
and we only trust that in the proposed means Ofreres-
sion, and n the opinion expressed Of the enorny and
utter unjusti6ableness OF the taken by South
Carolina the President will be unhesitatngly second
ed by Congress and the people.
We cannot think upon the possible consequences
which may result 70 ihisglorious, this emnenty hap

patriotic portion Of the citizens Of South Carolina,
who, in the midst Of wrath and denunciaton, aud at
the sacrifice of all the ties Of social and domestic lille,
hold fast their allegiance the Union, and their firm
resolve TO upheld, at all hazards, its just supremacy.
PennsyiraniG.-ID the legislature Of this state We
Gently, there introduced series Of resolutions
protesting in the strongest terms against the South Ca
rolina doctrines of Nullication and affirming the le-

instead Of British other foreign industry. We ex
tract the following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, There exists in the southern portion Of
this Union, an organized and fearful opposition to the
Tariff for the projection Of domestic industry and
terprise, which has heretofore been considered the
settled policy Of the Goyernmeat;-And whereas the
history OF other nations and the experience Of our
own, has clearly demonstrated ihatlhe protection ola
nations own industry, manufactures, mechanical arts
and agriculture. by protecting duties, 10 the only true

dependence And whereas, II has been proved IN al!
cases where protection has been sufficiently offered
and continued that the composition 10 our own cou",
try has reduced the price Of the article manufactured
below that Of the same quality imported -Thereorr'
Res0lued, That we view with the same serious ap.
preLenson and positive dsapprobation, any attempt

may compete with articles Of similar growth pFoduc-

ReSolped, That the people OF Pennsylvania cannot,
and will not, consent to an abandonment Of the pro-
tectiye system.
Resolred, Tha. if a reduction Of the revenue .ha-
comes necessary, would prefer prohibition ore
articles Of foreign fabric and production the like Of
which successfully manufactured and produced ia

now protected, that can be produced or manuiac-
tured az cheaply in our own country.
Resolutions Of similar character, accompanied by
long and able report, have also been introduced into
The legislature Of Massachusetts by Mr.. Alexander H.
