megs the report is silent.
Although we are not spprchensive o
an immediate collision between the gen
.eral government and the nullifiers OF >
Carolina, MA yet look with considerable
interest for intelligence from that quar-
tor, as the first of the present month has
been set apart, both by the Legislature
and the Convention, for the commence.
ment of hostile operations against the
revenue laws. II the government must
inevitably contend with this opposing fac
aion, and is to be 70 und inadequate to the
emergency, the present may be consider
ed favorable time for settling the quest
ion. II the Constitution is the supreme
law of the land, as declared by the Con-
yention who framed it, and as we believe
it will be interpreted by the people, to
whose protection it has been committed,
we think it high time the supremacy OF the
law should b asserted, Modification and
Virginia interposition to the contrary not
withs;anding. For ifthis nation does re-
ally consist of twenty-iour petty sover-
eignties without any superior, either OF
wkich has the constitutional right to set
at defiance the laws passed for the gener-
al good, and by the constituted authori-
tics, where all are equally represented,
the sooner 4he Government Is demolished
the better. The old confederation, or
any other government with but shad0~
OF a common head, is tar preferable to a
state like this. Ii nothing less than a
complete demolition Of all protective du-
ties and total abandonment OF what has
been heretolore justly styled the Amerl-
can System, 'wiR satisfy the demands
which nullihcaton has set up, and 1t this
concession would inevitably bring distress
and ruin ON the greater portion Of the
country, a revolution or even sePara-
sion, would, in cur apprehension be mn
aiteiy the lesser evn.
