/ tion that he would follow in the footsteps ot iis illustrious prototype ? Is not this very Sub-Treasury system the sequel of Gen. Jack son's despotic grasp to take the public trea sure of the country into the -bands of the Ex ecutive? Does not Mr. Preston stand pre cisely where he did when he was the object of the hfghest public favour at home ? It is true, that with perhaps a less stern and en lightened forecast, he could not emulate the l>oldness of his colleague in quitting his old alKes atthe very moment of approaching vic tory, lest victory to his party should be worse than defeat. But this fidelity to old friends with, whom he had long battled, is surely not an object of moral reprobation. It is at best but a weakness, which in the estimate of some ?will be quite as aimiable, if not as respectable, as that enlarged sagacity which looks at poli tics with the same coolness with which it would regard a theory in metaphysics. If I am not mistaken, sir, Mr. Preston, on occasion when Mr. Leigh of- Virginia ^received the instructions by which that Com monwealth was pleased to instruct him out 4>f his seat, indicated very distinctly that he yas no convert to the doctrine. I hope that gnj memory has served me right, and that *rhile Mr. Preston is prepared to treat the communication which he will doubtless re ceive from our presiding officer with the most perfect respect, he will at the same lime be prepared to maintain his own inde pendence, and the rights which beloDg to him as a Senator representing the people of this State in their sovereign capacity. I must confess there is something in the situation of this gentleman which commands both my sympathy and consideration. Al though he was educated, married, and has lived among us almost from his childhood, yet he is, in one sense of the word, a stran ger ; but a stranger whom we have honored, | because he was worthy of being honored. | He is a native of another State. I ask my- ! self, i&his colleague stood in his place would j this threat be hurled at his head ? And I j ask myself whether it becomes the old and , long-approved hospitality of South Carolina ?that sentiment which is the very religion of our hearth-stones? thus to treat one who possesses the strongest claims to our pro-, tection and esteem? one who has thrown a fresh halo around the genius of our own State? the vigor, the power, the beauty of whose eloquence, and lofty public spirit, have added an attractive grace to a. moral worth which renders his character free from all sus picion or reproach. Men of the State Rights party, are you prepared to sacrifice a man who in the hour of peril stood by you with unfaltering cour age and devotion, and threw his whole soul into your contest, and gave to it the unsur passed treasures of a genius and elocution jrich, various, and resplendent? k I knowj sir, it has been said by some that Preston is a friend and perhaps an ad Tier^jfof Mr. Qay. This may or may not. be trfce ; but I would ask how long is it since, even if he should prefer the champion of the West to Mr. Van Burwi, such a pre ference is to be visited not alone with cen sure but positive punishment ? Has our State slid, by the easy gradations of an increasing love, into the arms of the Administration T Do members acknowledge " the soft impeach ment?" Things ' have strangely altered. Not six months since, I was the object if not of denunciation at least of distrust, because I was suspected of a too friendly regard for the present Chief Magistrate? and this be cause I had never condescended to abuse him, but uniformly treated him with the con sideration his kindness to me personally de served at my hands. And now, forsooth, I am charged with a devotion to Mr. Clay, be cause, I presume, from a similar motive of self-respect l am disposed to carry a civil tongue in my head in relation to both gen tlemen. Sir, as I do not mean to take the Souoty, I am resolved not to enlist for the war. I have therefore heard with inexpres- 1 sible surprise that a secret combination of the old leaders is on foot in this State to give its vote to Mr. Clay. I know not who the Guy Faux of this conspiracy is ; but so far as so humble an individual as myself is con* ceraed, I know the path which leads to my own Independence and happiness ; that is to my own home and the duties of my heme. I do not emulate the renown of any Guy Warwick. It is the last time I ever expect to hear the sound of my voice in this Hall. I have been, for the last sixteen years of my life, in various stations in the service of South Ca rolina. This reflection only augments the sense of the obligations I owe her. I am gratified that on this last night of my service the opportunity lias been afforded me of lift ing up my voice in defence of public liberty and private right. Let me, then, again conjure you, that up on a subject so utterly worthless as how the poor lucre of this government is to be depo sited, you do not distract and divide our peo ple, recently so thoroughly and cordially united. Permit us to return home in peace and good will. If the devouring element has scattered desolation in its track, and sent the broad glare of its disastrous light into the very concave of the heavens, under the bles sing of God we have decreed that the fair structures shall rise from their ashes with renovated beauty, and the cherished metro polis of us all again be the abode of cheerful industry and manly enterprise. If, however, this privilege is denied to us ? if I stand alone with my friend from Sumter, I trust I shall be found to stand, in this last act of my pub lic life, in that position which comports best with. all that belongs to the authentic public "sense, public principles, and public honor, of South Carolina. Bacon Side#. AA HHDS. BACON SIDES, just received and SmP for Mb by DULIN & M1CKLE. Hrt19, 1838 20 4t | Sketch of the remarks of Mr. ADAMS, oj Richland, in the House of Representatives of South Carolina , May 31, 1838, on the Sub - Treasury resolutions introduced by Mr. Davie. I must confess I have been not a ltttle as tonished at the whole course of this proceed ing. Little did I, or did you, Mr. Speaker, dream that when we met here, the stale, de funct Sub-Treasury scheme would be thrust upon our consideration. I thought we had assembled for a common object; one that ad dressed itself alike to our sympathy and our patriotism ; that although our meeting would be short, it would nevertheless be pleasant to ourselves and creditable to the State; unmark ed by the agitation of party polities, or the display of party rancour. In this reasonable anticipation I have been disappointed. ? Why has this movement been made? What sudden thought has given birth to this most uncalled for, unwarrantable and unjust pro ceeding ? Has the edict been issued from the throne, summoning the faithful to^the rally, s this the deed we are commanded to perform ? Sir, I protest against these res olutions, as being incompatible with the char acter and the honour of our State. 1 protest against them as being ungenerous and un manly?as intended for the accomplishment j of what has not been avowed on their face. These resolutions, sir, either mean some thing or they^ mean nothing. If, as some would have us believe, they are intended as a i mere request that a certain portion of our I Senators and Representatives in Congress should vote for the Sub-Treasury bill, those who urge their adoption are guilty of mere child's play. Who believes for a moment that those of our members in Congress who have deliberately formed and solemnly ex pressed their opinions, will regard such a request? What honorable man would not dispise them for their imbecility and baseness, if they did ? No, sir, the passage of the Sub-Treasury bill cannot be accomplished by this measure. That bill, thanks to the good sense and independence of the country, is sleeping quietly on the tables of Congress. May it never awake from its slumber. Besides, a decrease of the vote against the bill (even if it can be effected by any action of ours) will be, in fact is already, balanced by a corres ponding increase elsewhere. The resolutions mean, and are intended to mean, the instruction of one of our Senators. And has it come to this so soon ! Is this State prepared to avow and practically enforce such a doctrine? ? a doctrine which it was the | order of the day not two years since, to de nounce and repudiate, as utterly abhorrent to the genius of a libera], enlightened and inde pendent age, and to the principles and practice of South Carolina. Who of us did not raise his voice in condemnation of the conduct of Virginia, on a recent and memorableoccasion? | Is that miserable, wretched system, which we : have reviled when practised by other States, i to be introduced here ? I hope not. I trust we shall continue, as it has been our boast, to think and differ like men, without attempting to put down the sacred privilege of opinion and conscience. But, sir, if one of our Senators is to be im molated, to gratify the purposes of party, let the sacrifice be performed according to art, dignified with all the formalities which be long to such a deed. Let it be done boldly and avowedly. Let the mask be laid aside. Whatever may be the result, I hope it will be effected openly, and not by indirection. With all deference for the acknowledged ability and fervent patriotism of the gentle man from Chester, I must say, sir, that these resolutions come with a peculiarly bad grace from him . I had thought that he, of all oth ers, should exercise some little charity to wards those who differ from him. I had a right to expect some small degree of tolera tion from him, especially on the complicated i question of finance. How long is it since he i avowed opinions directly opposed to those which he now so vehemently and enthusias tically espouses ? How many months is it since he published to the world " The Bank of the United States must be rechartered, with the right to enlarge its capital fifteen or twenty millions, that its power to accommo date and its influence (mark the word) may be increased." Should he not forbear from participating in a crusade against one who has not declared for a bank, but the u head and front of whose offending" is that he will not swallow the sub-Treasury ? ? a measure which I solemnly believe fraught with more danger to the liberties of the people than any which has been moved since the formation of the Government, ? an experiment, the re sult of which has excited the alarm of some of the ablest men of the country. What other sin has he committed ? Has he ceased to expose and resist^ the corruptions and abuses of the administration ? Has he fal tered in his exertions to break down the base, unprincipled party now in power, against which, in our past times of difficulty, we al most swore him and all our servants to eter nal war ? No, but he doubts the policy of the sub-Treasury, upon the success or defeat of which the administration must stand or fall. This is his crime. If our Senator had ^departed from his principles, there would be some reason for the warfare upon him. But there is no complaint of that kind ; and it seems that, according to a new and incom prehensible morality, he is to be punished because he is consistent. Gentlemen who have changed, demand that he shall change I with them, or else that he shall sacrifice his j independence and honor, and vote for the | sub-Treasury, contrary to his convictions. I hope, sir, that the spirit of intolerance and proscription will not prevail. That at this time, when no praiseworthy end can be attained, we will not do a thing which must forfeit our high charactei in the estimation , of the just and wise. That we will still not j interfere with our members 44 in the rightful exercise of their independent judgment." And that we will not doubt but that those who fought nobly and manfully side by side with us at a more perilous timet are still de voted to the interest and honor of our coun j try. INSTRUCTIONS. Mr. Editor, ? The proceedings of our late Legislature during its short session, j have assumed in many respects so strange a character, that they will form an era in the I political history of our State. Hitherto we have chosen our Congressional representa tives from their presumed ability to transact the public business, by the aid of information to be acquired at the seat of government, without our interference ; and we have pre sumed they would do their duty, untrammel led by instructions and unawed by threats. Freemen ourselves, we have preferred to be represented by freemen, and wfe have left our members of Congress entitled to that appel lation. Hut the old-fashioned maxims and principles of this State are changed ; and it seems that no man hereafter can be a fit re presentative of South Carolina in the Con gress of the United States, who is not pro fessedly and avowedly a popularity -hunter, ready to contradict his own principles, to vote in opposition to his own deliberate opinion, and eat his own words for the amusement of | the public, whenever a predominant party at home shall order him to do so. Whether such a man ought to be chosen as a repre sentative of South Carolina, is a question that the citizens of this State will have to de termine for themselves'. If they prefer to be re presented by none but selfish, slavish change lings ? by no man who is not essentially a weathercock in character, let them so deter mine. The class of collar-men will take pos session of the land at last. I have great respect for the talents, and have no inclination to find fault with the mo tives, of the members who carried the mea sure through thefcLegislatme. But I hope I shall not be deemed guilty of disrespect if I examine the course, character, and tenden cy of the measure itself, and the rumors cir culated concerning its origin, every where uttered, and nowhere (that I can hear of) contradicted. The first feature of these proceedings strikes at once. Here is a short session of the Legislature, convened, as was supposed, in consequence of a great public calamity, for the sole purpose of affording aid to the sufferers. No notice, no expectation* no ne cessity for discussing any other business, was given or entertained. On a sudden, in the midst of the week, suggestions are mention ed as proceeding from Washington, by which the interests and influence of the Adminis tration and of Mr. Calhoun can be served, by a dextrous management of this legislative session. A caucus is held, and the next day a set of resolutions are introduced, of which no one had previously heard, and carried, not by force of deliberate, well-cousidered, argumentative discussion, but by the superi or force of determined votes. The measure thus carried was not a state measure at all. It was on a subject pecu liarly within .the jurisdiction of Congress ; relating to the finance system, not of South Carolina, but of the general government. There was no call for any interference on the part of this State. It had been long and anxiously discussed at Washington, and the sub-Treasury bill was for the present hid on the. shelf, as a measure not meeting with popular approbation. There was no call upon any of the States to take up this ques tion; but so soon as Mr. Calhoun adopted it, his friends here seem to have thought it a duty to make this a party question, and to enlist the South Carolina Legislature on the side of that gentleman. Such is the universal explanation given of the histo ry of these proceedings in the last short ses sion, by the standers by and the lookers on. Whether they are right or not, I, individu ally, have no means of judging; I hear and relate the universal rumor, not contradicted within my hearing, or to my knowledge. A measure so difficult that Congress was nearly divided equally for and against, would seem to require much historical and docu mentary evidence to elucidate it. At Wash ington all this could be procured ; and the very different views of very able and honest men could there be heard, collected, and compared. With all these aids and applian ces, it seems to require another period of solemn discussion at Washington. But here in Columbia, South Carolina, this long mooted and difficult question is thought of on one day, brought into the House the next, forced into hasty and angry discussion, and carried triumphantly by a*large majority the next day! , Surely this is not the way in which a great and difficult question ought to be treated. This is not the calm, well-con sidered, deliberate discussion that ought to , . ... be in any manner binding upon our repre sentatives in Congress. They are entitled to more deference and respect. And if re quests or instructions are transmitted to them, they ought to be accompanied with strong evidence that the question here was consid ered with due and calm deliberation, on pre vious notice given, and aided by all the lights which had been hitherto or might hereafter be thrown upon the question. This sudden freak of legislation? this galloping towards one point, without due time to assign weighty reasons why or wherefore, cannot, and I should think ought bot to be, binding upon any representative to whom the resolutions are addressed. Neither was this measure, thus anxiously and hastily introduced and carried, at any time called for by any expression of popular meeting in any part of the State. The peo ple seemed perfectly careless about it. They were willing to leave it to (he deliberations of Congress. At the meeting of the last short session, no one expected or suspected that siich a strange and indirect proposal would have been introduced. The members did not come prepared gravely to discuss a national project, in no way peculiarly appli cable to our own State. Thus indifference of popular opinion in South Carolina strong ly corroborates the rumor that the whole proceeding was of a pa?ty complexion, in tended to serve one member at the expense of another, and to give force to a Govern ment measure dt finance, which not two i States throughout the Union have approved, independent of South Carolina. This indeed is a ineiancholy retrospect. Formerly, small as her territory was, South Carolina held up her head proudly in the meetings of Congress, conscious of that strong influence always exercised b;r d^'sr mined honesty joined to eminent talents. ? At present, Mr. Calhoun's favorite measure has prostrated his own State to almost a sin gle vote. Her influence at Washington is over, her talents are neutralized by division. Acquiescence in the measures of an admin istration may be, and often is, honest and honorable, but it requires to be closely ex amined : the honesty of popular prejudice has always, with good reason, been against it. I blame not Mr. Calhoun for his opin ions ; he is entitled to them ; an able and honest representative he has long; and I trust has always been ; but I cannot say that his course of politics has been, upon the whole, advantageous to his own State. Of this others 1 will judge. In the mutual attack of Mr. I Calhoun and Mr. Webster, as to their polit ical consistency, they fought manfully ; not a blow on each side but told with strong ef fect. The great difference was, that Mr. Calhoun has committed mistakes as a politi cian -merely. Mr. Webster has never put off the character of a mere lawyer. Another feature in thi? measure is, that the members who passed it are not sure of being again returned members, their time expiring in October, when a new election must come on. Who can tell what the com plexion of the next Legislature will be ? Very far from being impossible it is, that the views of the Legislature in November may coincide with those of Mr. Preston, who opposes the sub-Treasury bill, as iu fact the great majority of the people of the United States do. Suppose him instructed out now ; what hinders but he may be instructed in an opposite direction by a Legislature who may perhaps think, the greater haste the worse, speed? Ought not our representa tives at Congress to take time to deliberate ere they act, atad wait the result of the new election in October ? It seems to me that this is their duty. But I have more to say about instructions than I have time or space to urge now. A VOTER, &wi<3i m c&CTSUH&m* COLUMBIA, June 9, 1833.
