MR.. VAN buren, A NuIIIFYER,

Don't start senile reader. THIS - no, mere
asser';on-, mas been proved Nor do we perceive
why II should excite astonlshment. Gen. Jack son
himself who issued a very good /" Procla nation, =
IN the main, against South Carolina Notification,
sustained that doctrine when asserted and enforced
by Georgia; and Mr.. Forsyth, Judge Wayne,
Gov. Lumpkin, and all the Onion men of Georgia
are as verlable Nufycrs IN all matters pertaining
TO the interests of that Sac, such as the robbery
AMI murder of the Indians and other such trivial
matters as any TO be found between the Ya,lkin the
Savannah rivers! But this is DEPRESSION. Let
US return 10 Nr. v n Buren,.
We remarked that the iact Of ayowing Nulli6ca.
ton principles had been proved sgainst Mr.. Van
Buren, and we must of course suhjoin the evidence
In the late debate on the clection Of Councillor in
the Virginia House Of ID lega,cs, Gen Parker, of
NorhamT' ton, made the charge and proceeded To
read the following paragraphs, which 10 us m

that OF the Hartford Convention Read and Judge !

unanimously, declaring that =" Whereas il appears
10 this Legislature, after due consideration that the
claim the par, of the United States, to require
boats which navigate our Canals, to be enrolled OF
licensed and to pay Tonnage Duties is a claim not
founded on any legal righ'--"pd in regard to the
circumstances under which it is n,ads, such claim
is evidently unjus' and oppressive that the tncr.

From unofficial and informal explanations it

which the people of the State of New York, as
would naturally be supposed, took deep interest.
They look upon this claim as in every way unwar-

highest and dearest interests. As, however, there
Nigh be mistake on the subject, though he feared
there was none, he would for the present. forbear
making those animadversIons which, should the
case be as represented, the duties of his station
would impose upon him. All tina, he would

that the Act of 1893, was not intended to embrace
waters of the description to which it has been al

be an abuse of power the part Of the officers Of

things first, that whcnever,a State isagsrieved by
the legislation OF the general government she will
threaten, if she do not ultimately resortto II; and
secondly as a consequence, that IL is the proper
remedy" Not so fast, my good Sir 10 US II
proves precisely tho reverse. ii certainly proves
that under the prom ptnes Of self interest, real or
supposed a State will threaten and perhaps resort

very circumstance, that, under its influence, and at
no other time, State resorts to nullhcalion, and,
indeed, that when not prompted by this motive, that
