following article from the government
paper, the Globe -
STATE RIGHrs.-We perceive that the Rich.
inond Wig, aud other kindred prints, have tho
dsingennonsness 10 ascribe 10 us an offensive md
tive in extracting from Northern paper an artl-
Gle Justly complimentary TO Mr. Poinsett in which
his course in the notification contest Is incidental
ly alluded to. Upon this subject we will mako
no hypocrcal pretensions, for the purpose OF
obtaining araiiabie support. We have too much
respect for state ghis friends 10 suppose that
their confidence could be won By hollow na,iery.
This, however, we can say In all Conscience,
that we have u much greater sympathy even
with that we may have deemed their errors, than
with the opposite extreme Of consolidation aud
lis federal progeny. In their devotion Ia state
rights they cannot exceed US, and their present
noble end dlsinieresied support OF the Iiue prIn-
ciples of the cUnstltuiiUn, cOmnanus our warniest
admiration and esteem Some OF u may diiflr
as to the remedy TO be employed in cases Of
hdgrant nfaclon Of reserved rights. but we all
agree III The Importance Of maintaining them ~
their full integrity, secure alike from open out
rage and sophislica Infringement. All the litile
influence ability which we may possess, shall
be eAerlcd To this end, so that the necessity may
never again recur for "A harsh remedial ih'eipo-
s,on. Ia this case prevention Is Indeed better
than cure.
The Gazette of this city has followed
I a republication of the foregoing precious
article, with the annexed pungent COM
meniary -
/ ave submit TO every intelligent man In tle
country, whether Wing or Administration n,au,
ifthe above article be not in all lis characteristics
most thoroughly contemplate. Here is a paper
IL, II. Il t.,, III,
could call Mr. Calhoun by no more respectful
name rlan John Cataue Calhoun, now pctins
the party Of which Mr. Calhoun was the ayowed
and acknowledged leader mud II party which
gave the Globe the ground for lts delicate soub-
rique, Not indeed, merely pculag II by re-
speciul intercourse with IL since lis conver-iof,
hut absolutely Justisying It's worst cnor''l-s
during the very time in which IL was the Object
of the Globes abuse. The Globe has - much
greater sympathy" even with the null'ica'on
against which Gen Jackson issued hls procdiiia-
! ton, nnd Congress ut his instance passed tito
"bloody bill" than with Webster and the great
! and good men of both the present parties, who
! stood by the President IN that porienlous hour
! II black hearted neratlude and undlluted lmpd
deuce ever went farther than tins, wc will thank
! any friend To tell where To look Tor IT, But stop,
| we have found IL ourselves IN this very article.
| without any dependence upon others. The
Globe itself has supplied n parallel " All The
little influence or ability which we may possess,
shall be exerted to this end. 80 that the NECES-
| SHY may never AGAIN rccur for a haiS sd
) remediai ihtppOsitiOR." Is the Globe crazy,
. or merely growing silly Here Is the editor of
the official paper Of the Government distinctly
e, admitting The acccsSitY of the nuicaiioG move
mcnls, aud hoping that the necessity may netrt
again occur Why did the Globe exercises
In, b,,ru mn fs
aud even cali M,. Calhoun a CataImc, il the ia
yorlle measures OF that party were necessary
Does the Globe regret It's support OF General
jackson ia putting down that necessary rem"-
dial measure - The Globe can. ouly parallel
Itself
This commentary OF the Gazette is no
less Just than severe. Our chief design
IN copying it, however, is to sci out cor.
temporary right upon single point,
which we regard as of high lnpor'ance
in the political history OF our county,
/ aud which we wish TO have deeply fixed
upon the minds OF the American people.
"Thc Glnbc,o says the Gazette, Z" has
much greater sympathy even with the
notification against which General Jack-
SON issued has proclamation, &c. Now
the point at which VIC ale driving, aud
upon which we desire TO fix the atie nto;i
of the Gazette, and Of the American
! people, is lhist- General Jackson issued
NO proclamation upon that subject The
document issued as By him, was rrriiten
by Me late Edirard Livingston, then Ser.
rotary Of STATE. II H'ras neither sanctioned
nor signed by General Jachson, and there
IS no authenticated copy of that prociama-
ton, bearing General Jackson's signature,
IN The arcaires Of The State Department,
irhere the Erecuire records are kept
! We have asserted these facts before,
and challenged contradiction; but the
disclosure was too startling, and was
probably deemed too incredible to he
entertained, and hence il attracted but
little attention..
| The truth is that General Jackson,
when he came into power, was as much
the master spirit of notification as Luci-
! fer was of tho first rebellion. lie did
! every thing that he could to favor the
views of the nulliliers in Georgia, aud
he also favored it originally IN South
Carolina. When General Hayne utter
ed the great South Carolina manifesto
; of notification on the floor Of the Senate,
which was so promptly met and tr''ln'-
phanlly ovcrthrown by Mr. webster,
| General Jackson took the side oi Gen.
Ilaync, and as has been over ana over
again asserted, wrote letter to liayne
! warmly approving Of his speech Ger.
tain il is, that that speech was received
md endorsed as the true theory of the
Government, and as embodying tlIe
creed of "Me Democracy" by the Co
yornnrcnt papers throug hout the land
1.-The Albany Argus, MIR. Van Burens
own paper, :hus endorsed it, aud the
leading Government paper IN New, Eng.
land caused the treason TO BE PRINTED
on SATIN.
II But in process Of time, General Jack
son onarrelled with Mr.. Calhoun. I'm.
til that time he had been chief OF the
nulIifcrs. But in order TO oppose his
new enemy, I've was compelled TO assume
an attitude Of apparent hostility to multi.
} iicaiion. Instantly the whole "kennel
press' changed its attitude, and the
velL,n rang with bitter Recommendations ot
