 1t would prostrate at once forever the policy which Pennsylvania had long cherished, which South Carolina had united with her incstablisliing and nain- taings and under which she was pros, porous and happy.
 N Mir. " Y. said !se lad spoken, ycster- day, in justification of the strongest pro- visions ot this bill, of tie talked ol re- distance to the lawsin South Carolina. lie had understood the Senaior from south Carolina. (Mr. Calhoun the oth- CT day, as acknowledging that therc was military array in south Carolina, but eontcnding that il followed and did not prccede the array of force hy lhe United States.
 [Mr. Calhoun said he had admitted tbat fheFe was military preparations, not array.
 Ail. Wilkins said, if WIG examine the measures taken by the Administration in reference 10 the present crisis, i. would be found that they were not at all Of that military character to justify the measures of South Carolipa whicl it was alleged had followed them.
 MT. Calhoun said that South Caro- lima was undoubtedly preparing to ar- rest force by force. But, lctthe Unit ed States withdraw it's forces from her borders, aad lay tbis bill on the table, and her preparations would cease.
 Mir. Wilkins resumed. That is, sir. If We do not oppose my of her move tnehls, ssl! sill be right. I we fold fold our, arms, and exhibita perfect indifference whether the Laws of the Union, arc obeyed or not, all will be quiet! This, l adnii, would be an aapliratle mode. to avoid collision and prevent distnr- bance: but Is If ono that we can submit 10? The moment VIC. fail to coHhteraet inc Modification proceedings of Soath Carolina, tic InioHis dissolved; for, in This government Of laws, union is obe- dience, and obedience is union, The moment South Carelina--
 Mf, CaltouH- NYhorelies upon force fn (!iis eontroversy2 have insisted upon if that South Carolina relied altogether on ciYa process aud that, ifthc Cener-. al Government resorts to force, then on ly will South Carolina rely upon force. If force he introduced by either party, upon that party will fall the responsi- bilits.
 Mir. The General Govern ment will not appeal ip the first instance, 10 force. IL will appeal 10 the patriot lsm of South Carolina-to that mag napimity of which she boasts so much.
 Mr. Calhoun. ] am sorry that South Carolina cannot appeal to the sense Of justice of the General Govern ment Order! Orderi Qrom one ol two members.
 Mir. Wilkins. The Government V ill appcalto that political sense which cx. horts obedience to the laws of the conn- try, IS the first duty of the citizen. IL will appeal 10 tho moral force in the coumunity. If that appeal be in vain, il will appeal to the Judiciary, 1.-the mild arm of the Judiciary be not sutli- cient to execute tho laws, 1t will call out the civil fierce to sustain tlie laws. If that be insufficient, God save and pro teet us iron. the fast resort. But if .he evil docs come upon the country, zelao is responsible for il? If force be brought in to the aid of law, who, l ask of gen- .tIemen, is responsible for ito the Peo- .plc of the United States? That Is the question. Talk of it as you please, fnysllly matters as you will, tlieoiizes as You may, pile np abstract propositions to any extent, at last the question re- solves itscliinto one of obedience or re- sistai4ec tostIse laws--in other words, of union or. disunion. Wherein, said Mir. ". consists our liberty2 What is the foundation of our political institutions which We boast of: which we hold up to the world for irnitalion, and inc en-s ioyment Of which the yotary of free dom pants in every country ofthe Globe what is il? Itis that of I government whore tie People makc the laws, and where the People obey the laws which thcy themselves have made. That is our system of government, and by q large majority of the People if is res pected accordingly.
