deem i,s preservation 10 the Union, peace and happiness oi

Carolina, says:
~rhe people of the United States will not permit a seces-

Of The States composing il. In sch.dcicncc, they "Ms sup

not permit it, .
This brayado is in total violation Of the immortal princi'
plcs laid down BY our own Jefferson and Madison, as the
,.yi book of The Republican party. They taught Us TO re
rard each and every State as sovereign, and fully qnailhe'
herself 10 nudge of the conslitutionality of the acton OF lh'
Federal Government, and 10 protect herself by Withdrawing
from the conicd cracy. This would be justified only by III
extreme case, but The State herself Is the ohi! Juua'
in the case. and she has the nndonbted Tl4ht 10 aa"p

Mr.. Leigh, u commissioner 10 South Carolina, In the 'ih'e u
.Nullifcation")-bu force can never be thought oil as ont
of the elements Of our institutions. II - ialai hlaahcss u
bring up such a mode of redress. The first blow struck D!
The General Government At a sovereign state, aiss'i'eS III
Union. The only cement ol the Union is in the affection 70
cur institutions frightened BY common suiierlnss and dan
rc-s. and in doing justice and practising charity and goo'
sense.
The Rcpnblic commits another error, when II says that TIT
South ought not now TO complain of being excluded iron
the new territories, because
The North, both parties concurring, distinctly notified IN
South, by word and by vote, before me llrrll'1y was &c
qaired, that, if acquired, slavery ""'ld ana shol'u Dc c"''u

Now, it is well known that, on the ratification Of the Mex
lean treaty, a motion to apply the Wiimot Prorlso was r0'e0
dorm By the Senate. Was not the South properly 10 lnleI
ircm that fact, tina, no degrading exclusion from common
property would bc raised against her By the majority!
