On the Sd Of March, ls45, Mr.. McDufIie
said in the Senate of the United States, 81 am
not afraid of placing myself IN a minority.
CONSIDER TINS enormous appropriation for inter-
nal improvements, carried by Democratic votes,
to have broken The common seal of the Jackson
party, and they might now dispersed" That Is
to say--''a majority here are determined to tax
the South and Southwest for the benefit of the
other States Of the Union'' Must this be-! Judge
Cheves says, "the Tariff consider an act Of
insufsrerable and insulting opposition. which
ought to be borne only until it can be judIclously
resisted" Here we have two OF the most
prominent men OF the State con,ending, one for
Internal improvements by the General Govern
ment, and the other, Tariff duties! Both de-
nounce them as beng oppressive and unconsl.
-ltona!
The intellectual acume, and calm, deep inves.
| tlgaton, and cautious nducions of such men,
command Unqualified confidence. The prospect.
ny and happiness OF their common .couptry must
be their aim. Ia plain words, they mean to
tsay, and indirectly 10 say--lhe continued union
| of these United States is nmica to the pros.
pcnty of all its members! This is clear aud
manly language. Take out the ifs and butts of
thewhoe scope Of their arguments and declara.
tons, and they amount to this plain proposition.
The institutions and m unicipal policy, and ge
fographicaa position, and popular. feelings and
pursuits of the North and South can never
harmonize as one people. Speak il out-for il
is spoken sub rosa in every group OF domestic
and political coterie-that the eectionsi divided
by interest can never assimilate in sentiment
and national am,y.
Judge Cheves gees on thus--"If our fellow
sufferers will not unite with US (South CaroIina)
in resistance, shall we basely submit, Resist
ance will be- very solemn act. If it be rasby
attempted and fail, it will rivet our chains and
bring on us new burdens and insult of sudden
though or the fruit of single day, but of wise
and sober deliberations and protracted action.
We are speaking Of the movement OF nations.--
Resistance--a successful resistance will prob

Mr. Cheves is, as far as it goes quite eligible.
"Jnfiexlble perseverance, in good cause rarely

doned!" To.whch allow US to add, it is one
which must not be delayed-"carpe dent" is
the maxim. The opportunity suffered to pass
is lost forever! Allthe efforts ofthe South and
South West, should henceforth be directed to
procure unity Of sentiment and CO operation a.
mong the States on the South of the Potomac
and Ohio Rivers, and then declare peaceful
secession from the other States, on conditions
mutually and harmoniousy arranged in
general Convention!
The measures requisite to lead to this great
consummqtion, required ''leadng men" to be
cup and doing" what must be done! And II
can be done in the mode recommended by Judge
Cheves as well, perhaps, as in any other. But
done it should be with cool and deep determin.

The dissolution of the Federal Union has
been quite common topic "here there and
every where!"
There is o treason nova days in calculating
athe value Of the Union." Only let those who
do SO, do it openly, manfully and candidly, with
q view Of eudng growing dissention, and
giving every Esec.ion Its own, in that spirit
lof mutual concession which distinguished
i,s formation. So let It's termination be. 10
the wiling mind there can be no violence; and
since families cannot live amicably under the
same roof, in Gods name, let them part in
peace.
Commercial Treaties and friendly resolution
for the benefit of each, can be formed between
the separate confederacies. Respecting the
anticipated dangers and miseries of bnrder ware,
lii NAV be truly said, that their frebuent occur
renee between contentious States, may be now
deemed political chimeras. The heavy feuds of

less and bloody broils. The nineteenth cen'n-
~ is rapidly putting veto on these personal
conflicts. National objects alone can now en-.
render war; Besides, even were the apprehen-
sions Of the most ,imid to be realized to their
full extent, all must allow, that an occasional
international war for just cause. isfar preferable
