and over the dainsion into which the people are
led by the wiekednes, ambition and folly of their
leaders. have no doubt of the igtention Of
their leaders first to alarm the other States to
submit TO their views rather than dissolution Of
the Union should take place. II they fad in
this, TO cover their own disgrace and wickedness
to nnllify the tariff, and secede from the Union.

my dear Sir: Yours sfthe ID inst IS just re-
ceiyed Iaccord with you fully il the propriety
Of the people giving fully and freely their sen
timents and opinion on nullifcatioB, and the
course pursued BY South Carolina in her late
proceedings.
i'sThe ordinance passed when taken in con-
nection with the Governors message. is rebel
lion and war against the Union; the raising of
troops under them, to resist the Law Of the Uni
ted States, is absolute treason, The crisis must
be and as far as my constitutional and legal
power go, will be met with energy and irmness.
Therefore the propriety of the public voice be-
ing heard, and it ought now to be spoken in
voice of thunder that will make the leaders Of
| the aullifiers tremble, and which win cause the
good citizens Of South Carolina to resrace their
steps, and adhere to that Constitution of per-
petual Union they have sworn to support. This
| reasonable procedure against the Union is
blow against not only oar liberties, but the lib
critics Of the world .i 20,
"This multiplying movement in the South has
done US great injury abroad, and must not only
be promptly met and put down, but frowned
down by public opinion. 1t is therefore, high
| ly proper for the people TO speak all over the
| Union. 81 ~ tf- - 3et-a
al am preparing a proclamation TO the people
of the South, and as soon as asofieially advised of
these rebellious proceedings, win make CON-
,munication TO Congress. can say no more, as
/ am surrounded at present, and bid you for
the present adieu.
