COMMUNICATIONS.


SINS; II must he matter OF great satisfaction to all OF
the friends OF the Administrations To see The course ybsI
you arc now taking And, Srs without Nng atlerv
Vor nope am above iD congratulate you OH having
taken stand III the most question which ever
agtaed our country, which you will never regret come
what may.
Now, Sirs, il the tnc for the Pros. to speak out Now
we, the people, demand lis hands candid statement i
TRUTH aud sober and conclinng I,nguape and If ,,r
the Virginia Press should be cautious in every word i'm
even the merest suggestion, il is now The fact c,nno,
be concealed that the Sonth Carolina Press urged ON b,
mad enthusiasm aud under the control of mad leaders
has contributed, more than any thing else to pour irczv
into the minds OF the people. And il like course i. Ia

These reflections partly caused by the mad course
which two papers in Richmond taking, the Who
and Jet'on"n ItaPpcars 10 lac the aim of the
last, to throw fire brand, amongst the people and for no
cause To arouse their feelings. For the truth of INV re-
mark appeal to the last number OF that paper Th obi
tor in the moment OF madness heads article with sar
three times repeated, and then goes the most glow
ing style to tel the people that Gen Jackson is grasp
ing at cr0on WIN anxiety turned over his paper
to find his proofs, anl 10! they taken from letter
writer at Washington; some obscure inmate no doubt OF
Gadsbys who knows As little about Gen. Jackson's iuen.
tons as he does about rules OF discretion.
The Wing, too, has evidently turned nullitier. He is
pointing ont to he people rocks aud quick>and century
ahead with this print IN the agree; hut it appears
to me that the il is taking will but ere ate dis
turbances instead of removing them
But sir to the subject OF this communication. With
you, disagree with some portion oil the Proclauaon
do not thk that Cen JdcksOns IDEAS about the rioI of
secession are exactly correct Wih you and the Leafs
us be cautious how do il. Let remcuibe r. that if
weaken the moral force which the character of Cen
jackson now has, we run upon dangers which cannot
without his all escape
will not stop discuss the doctrine Thi. is not the
time TO do it. The circumstance under which State
has right to secede, have arisen. When that lime
comes, it will bo lime enough 10 do this.
That Gen. Jackson intended contend for any tbpg
unconstitutional, do not believe; that Cen Jackson in
tended TO throw into his Proclamation any thiu which
would lead TO consolidated government do not believe
The whole tenor Of hi- life forbids it, what are The ]

government? Were they not the right OF the General Co
yernment to carry on internal improvements in the States

Government - permitted 10 carry on public yorLS i'm 9,
state, ny this means she il forging mighty chains to
ond together all the States and to the sines of
power IN the person OF the Executive? And can reason
point out any better means OF forming consolidated 90
vernment than this: Have not these been the means NV
which every despo under heaven have cemcntcd o,e
Their his kingdoms, and made his throne And If if
is the settled purpose Of Cen jackson 10 form, cnoi
dated government, would he from the first moment Of
his administration have kept this in view Would he
have vetoed those very bills the tendency of which most
evidently was to assist him in the attainment of his object
nt a'k Whal are the sentiments OF the last message?
Could the most iasdiOus reader ask for fuller sion
OF his opinion on that subject There he fully Yields
the point that the States have reserved tights: and shows
what those rights and shows every disposition 10 pro-
ec those rights, and to keep them separate AMI distinct
from the powers Of the Federal Government Wcr. IeC
crson himself TO rise from the tomb, and examine and
pronounce upon the doctrines OF the message lac could
not find fault with them They to the bottom of the mat
ter, and aclnowed all that is ri dit and set aside m
that's wrong IL, then, General Jackson in the whole
tenor OF his Administration, in his declared sentiments 10
the world, shows himself TO be thus friendly To the re-
served rights oil che States, and thus opposed conso
daon, is not uncharabc for any man or BODY of
because few sentences in his Proclamation have rather
