of co-ercing gentlemen who had already
committed themselves after much reflection
and discussion, by a deliberate and well con
sidered vote, to turn short round and vote
again in direct opposition to theirown delib
erate opinion publicly pronounced and re
corded, I consider as an irregular interfer
ence on the part of the members who did so
(if it has been done,) unkind and unfriendly
toward their colleagues. I sincerely hope
the prevailing rumor is unfounded. But
if such an interference has really taken place,
then I have no hesitation in saying, that it
is so irregular and improper, that the in
structed or requested representatives, are in
honor and duty bound to refuse their counte
nance to the practice, by refusing to con
form to any request gotten up on a sudden
to serve a party purpose by this unjustifiable
iftanagement and manoeuvring. I beg of my
fellow voters, to consider calmly what will
be the effect of countenancing this practice
in future. Is it not calculated to render us
the tools and instruments, the degraded, de
based, collar-men of one or other of the po
litical parties at the seat of Government ? j
Is it not calculated to bind us to the car of j
one or other of the political aspirants for of- ;
fice at the great central mart of patronage ? j
To push forward measures as a stalking- j
horse, concealing the demagogues, behind
whose object is themselves ? Is it not cal
culated to make us neglect our own friends
at home, who look no further than State
rights, State objects, and State honors, to
raise into power at W ashington, those who {
look at the State only as a convenient step
ladder to their own ambition ? Is it not
calculated to produce suspicious, jealous
ies, quarrels, and duels, among our repre
sentatives at the seat of Government, who
ought to act in undisguised openness to
wards each other, even when they differ (as
they have a right to do,) from each other
on great public questions ?
It appears to me, Mr. Editor, that if a
man is put into office by any of the regu
lar forms prescribed by the Constitution, he
must be put out of office by forms and pro- '?
cedmgs of equal power and validity : he
must go out in the way and manner which
the Constitution allows and sanctions; and
not by anv legislative management and ma
noeuvring as a convenient substitute by
which the provisions of the Constitution
may be superceded, to serve the tempora
ry views of a party.
I am, .myself, what is called, a States
Eights man : a nullifier. I hold that no
thing can be added to, or taken from, or
done under the Constitution, unless the ex
press sanction for it can be found in that
instrument. We are all bound "by its ex
press permissions, unless in cases of mani
fest, absolutely necessary implication. Who
can find authority in that Constitution for
the right of a legislature to instruct a sit
ting member out of his constitutional seat in
Congress ? What a disgraceful farce it is,
to pretend reverence for the Constitution,
and in the same breath to annihilate its so
lemn provisions, and sweep away the rights
of your own representatives under it, by a
legislative proceeding so easily perverted to
impure and party purposes !
If the Constitution does not authorise
your proceedings, they are null and void ;
afcd your instructed members, if they are
nullifiers, as I hope they are, ought to tell
you so; and disobey your orders founded
on usurped authority, sanctioned neither by
the expressions of the Constitution, by pub
lic expedience, or a true sense of political
justice. Indeed, indeed, these proceedings,
are unworthy the high and dignified, the
just and liberal character of our beloved
State. If- you punish your representatives
for honesty of opinion and independence of
suffrage, do you degrade them or yourselves?
Difference of opinion on great and difficult
public questions, must and will, and ought
to take place. The public are instructed
by the discussions that arise in consequence.
But difference of opinion is no crime, any
more than difference of feature. It is no
part of the conditions of a Senator's con
tract who belongs not to his own State but
to the United States, while sitting in the
Senate, that with evidence before him of
document and discussion which his con
stituents cannot possibly possess, he should
arrive at a different conclusion from them.
Is he bound in honor and in conscience to
?vote on partial, incomplete, imperfect exhi
bitions of facts and arguments, or on the
clearest and fullest lights which the case af
? fords?
The .imperfect, defective, inferior evi
dence must of necessity be the lot of those
? who do not legislate at the seat of Govern
ment. The able and searching discussions
'that take place there, we cannot enjoy or
participate here. You sent your members
?to Washington, expressly to vote after pro
: filing by all this documentary evidence, and
hearing and reflecting on the debates that
rtake place there on the questions agitated.
Suppose one, or both should differ from each
?cither or from you: are they not bound in
honesty to vote, according to their own con
frictions there, and not according to your
convictions here, where the best evidence on
ihe subject cannot be obtained ?
Show me the conditions of the contract
agreed to by your representatives when elec
ted. Show me that it was a previous con
dition of their election expressly laid down
and fallv understood, that your Senators for
instance, sitting in the Senate, ijpt on behalf
of South Carolina exclusively, though elec
ted by her, but on behalf of the whole Uni
ted ^States, that they should contradict in
their places, their own deliberate recorded
votes as Senators of the United States, at the
bidding of a legislative party here ? Is this
in the bend ? If not, can one party to a ?
contraot, add provisions and conditions after
wards, without consent of the other ? Is not ,
:
this a law imparting the obligations of con
tracts? Is it not an after thought; a claim
without due notice? Ought it, cau it be
binding on representatives at Washington?
I shall treat of instructions hereafter more
fully*
These reasons incline me, Mr. Editor, to
think that the resolutions of our last short
session on the sub-Treasury bill, were pass
ed under mistaken views of the rights of
the house, and the rights of our repre
sentatives. Others must judge as they
deem proper. As to the sub-Treasury bill,
with or without the specie clause, I care
little about it. I regard it as the peculiar
business of Congress; to be decided on the
evidence and the discussions that pass there,
not here. I find, in fact, that every State
that has spoken out of Congress, is opposed
to it. South Carolina, I fear, stands alone ;
a single drop in the bucket. In Congress,
the measure is supported by the strong
patronage and influence of the adminis
tration X but even this is insufficient. ?
Indeed, government can well do without it,
by means of its Treasury notes , which are
so manifestly bills of credit, forbiddeu
by the Constitution, that I see not how they
can be justified by any one who respects
that instrument. But I would leave all this
to the proper constituted authorities at
Washington. Our petty intermeddlings here,
only show us up in the degrading character
of personal partizans.
A VOTER.
Mr. Editor, ? I have lived too long in the
world to be much surprised at any thing that
occurs in the uncertain field of politics. ?
Still, with the amusing vanity of a Carolinian,
I had flattered myself, that the public men of
our State stood on a higher eminence and
breathed a purer atmosphere, than those who
haunted the purlieus of the great presidential
manufactory at Washington. Let the people
look to it, and let them remember that how
ever the cry may be of currency and the law
ful coin; however they may be deluded with
dreams of gold and silver, the whole mystery
means nothing more than to bind the-m to the
?
car of Martin Van Buren. At no time could
we have permitted ourselves to indulge in
vulgar vituperation of this gentleman. He
has the ordinary amount, no great quantity
to be sure, of political honesty, and is by no
means destitute of talent or capacity for bus
iness. He deals, however, too much in in
direct methods of procedure; is ambitious
beyond all proportion to the measure of his
merits ; has played the game for the presi
dential stake, with all the dexterity and har
dihood of a political gambler, and when the
regular rules of the game are insufficient to
secure success, would sacrcely flinch from
loadingthe dice orsecreting a card. He has
been brought up in a bad school, and cannot
be trusted. To consign us over to the tender
mercies of this man is the ultimate aim df
the subtle but powerful machinery, which
has lately been set in motion within the
state. The people must take the business
into their own hands. With every man of
common sense the real question will be Van
Buren or Anti-Van Buren.
PUBLICOLA.
TO THE PEOPLE.
A FEW PLAIN WORDS.
There are eighteen States that have now
Governors opposed to the present administra
tion measures. There are eight Loco-foco
Governors. I'here are twenty States that
have Whig Legislatures ; and there are in
fact but three that are likely to go with the
administration actually. The influence of
t]je administration, by power and patronage,
in Congress, creates the votes of the Van
Buren members there. Thus, after the defeat
of the sub-Treasury bill, by the influence of
the peoples voice, in Congress, the adminis
tration lay by till they replenished their cof
fers by the bills of credit called Treasury
Notes; an^^eing now in cash, they have
gained over members enough to render it
probable that the bill called the sub-Treasuy
ry will pass. Jf J 1 *?0*
What is the suh- Treasury bill, so laudecH
by our late Legislature ? A bill to put all '
the money raised for the service of the Unit
ed States into the hands of persons appointedj
by aDd renewable at pleasure by Mr. V;
Bjiren. "
j \\$hat is the Specie Clause 1 A provisiorr
'that the money so raised shall be in specie , for
the use of the officers of Government exclu
sively; and to give Mr. Van Buren and his
officers the control, ultimately, of all the cash
and all the exchanges of the money-market
of the nation. v
iy^What are Treasury Notes? Bills of cred^
fit? promises to pay ? intended to pass cur
rent as money. They are a loan of money
in a form directly, expressly forbidden by
the Constitution. So that the whele com
mand of money raised upon the people of
the United States, whether in cash or in
bills of credit, as a loan, shall be deposited in
the hands of Mr. Van Buren and the favor
ites he may appoint to manage it, according
to His good will and pleasure. And this is
called divorcing Government from the banks!
This is the great patriotic proposal of Mr. J.
C. Calhoun, to lessen the influence , the power,
and the patronage of Government , and in
crease the influence of South Carolina. ?
Truly, a most effectual and satisfactory mode
of doing it ; and because Mr. Calhoun re
commends it, South Carolina is to vote
blindly in favor of this plan. I know it will
probably be carried, for I see some members
alluded to who are supposed to be secured
by the administration* since the issue of
Treasury Notes.
Is this such a plan as South Carolina
ought to support ? Can common sense ap
prove of it ?
As to the necessity for and tendency of
Uhe sub-Treasury, more next week.
M'r<, QUERIST)
The Washington Globe and the Chroni
cle, par 7 tobile fratrum , are zealously employ
ed in making it appear that the Whigs and
Clay party at the North are abolitionists, and
that the administration and Van Buren party
are anti-abolitionists, and the firm friends and
zealous allies of the people of the South.
So much for party spirit* It blinds the un
derstanding, perverts the judgment, and de
praves and corrupts the heart. Both the ed
itor of the Globe and he of the Chronicle
know better ; but the elevation of Van Buren
and the depression of Clay is their highest
aspiration, and to accomplish this object they
hesitate not to regard the suppression of
truth as a very little matter, for the para
mount purpose, hypocritically, of misleading
the people. We do not deny that a large
number of the whigs and Clay party of the
North are abolitionists; but the Globe and
the Chronicle both know perfectly wej) that
the Northern ranks of the Van Buren party
are also crowded with abolitiouists of the
most rancorous character. Why then prac
tise the deception of telling the people that
Van Buren's party are the exclusive friends
and natural allies of the people of the South ?
The answer is plain. It is for the invidious
purpose of drawing over the people of the
South to the support of Van Buren's next
election.
It is worse thau idle,? it is deliberately
wicked, to endeavor to gull and delude the
South on this question; but especially is it
an idle and imbecile manoeuvre. The peo
ple are as well informed on this subject as
these wiseacre editors themselves, and are
wide awake. And although, the restless as
pirants after office amongst them excepted,
they consider it premature to agitate the pre
sidential election as yet, and are quiet, yet
they see through and through the puny de
signs of these little venal scribblers, laugh at
their imbecile efforts^ and contemn their con
ceited and arrogant boldness and self-confi
dence. '
The following article, from a rank aboli
tionist paper, is worth republishing, for the
two-fold purpose of exhibiting the true
strength of the abolitionists, and to show how
the Globe and the Chronicle stand convicted
of suppressing one half of the truth ; and
how studiously they are bent, by disguises
and perversions of facts, to mislead the peo
ple. But their labors will be all lost. Van
Buren will never uuite the suffrages of South
Carolina, nor do we .believe he will of any
portion of the South. If South Carolina
can do no better, so long as she can find
blank paper, she will never disgrace herself
by voting for Van Buren, who treacherously,
by his casting vote, carried the most odious
of all the tariff-laws in 1828, and that too af
ter having pledged himself to our delegation
that he would vote against it; who advoca
ted the Proclamation and the Force bill,
and who supported Jackson in all his barba
ric assaults upon the currency, under which
the whole country is prostrate and agonizing
to the present hour. We can never even
suppose that South Carolina can degrade
herself by voting for Van Buren, of whom it
is very well known that these are but a sam
ple of his sins, or, in other words, of his dis
qualifying CRIMES.
We foresee, however, that the question of
abolition, which we all feel as one of vast
magnitude, is nevertheless only to be used
as the stalking-horse of the Globe and the
Chronicle, the Charleston Mercury humbly
following suit, until Van Buren may be re
elected, or until the contest is ended ; and
after that, if we are not greatly mistakken,
we shall see a great cooling off of their zeal,
and the odious and dangerous monstrosity
will in their view lose much of its impor
tance.
In truth, on the score of abolition, it is
not easy to say which is most obnoxious and
objectionable, Vau Buren or Clay. Their
opinions, as declared, are the same. There
is, perhaps, this difference, to wit: if we come
to blows, which we believe we shall, Van
Buren will inevitably go with the North, and
Clay, by his position, would be coerced to
fall in with the South.
The Globe says that Mr. Calhoun has
'gone over ;o the administration on account
of the attitude of parties ; and rumor says
that Mr. Calhoun intends to endeavor to car
ry this State for Van Buren. We are in
credulous ; but, if true, he will find it a more
Herculean labor than he has yet underta
ken. Let it not be forgotten that we are
mainly indebted to Mr. Calhoun for the false
estimate that this State was led to put upon
the merits and claims, x>f General Jackson !
Is his judgment better now ? Or are hi$ in
terested biasses less now than they were
then ? ^
From the Pennsylvania Freeman.
We do not pretend to understand the character of
modern democracy better than the Globe its accred
ited and official organ. The statements of that paper
in regard to the treachery of the great body of " the
party" to the principles of old fashioned democracy
is we fear too true.? But one thing is certain? in its
extreme anxiety to secure the favor of the slave
holding South, it has overlooked a multitude of im
portant facts tending to show that the principles of
emancipation have found a resting place even under
the banners of modern democracy. The Globe speaks
of the anti-slavery resolutions of the Vermont and
Massachusetts Legislatures, as Whig resolutions. ?
Now is this the fact? The Van Buren Candidates
for Secretary of State and Lieut. Governor of Ver
mont, were both officers of Anti-Slavery societies.
The resolutions in question, received the vote of both
parties in the Legislature. The two last democratic,
Van Buren, Conventions of that State, have openly
expressed abolition principles. Some of the most ac
tive and influential members of the Van Bnron party
in the State are local Agents of the American Anti
Slavery Society. How is it in Massachusetts ? The
Massachusetts Legislature contained last year more
than 200 Van Buren members ; of these only six voted
against the "fire brand" resolutions. The Senate
even went beyond the House : and the Hon. Seth
Whitemarsh, vtho headed the Van Buren electoral
ticket was one of the most eloquent and able advo
cates of abolition at its board. Hon. F Bowman, an
other Van Buren membensaid that he believed the re
solutions would the means of dissolving the Union,
but that he shodra nevertheless give them vote.
Was the editor of the Globe, aware that the Van Bu
ren candidate for Congress in Boston, at the last elec
tion, was Amasa Walker, a man almost as notorious
for his Abolitionism as William Loyd Garrison? Did
he know that the Hon. George Bancroft recently ap
\ pointed collector of the port of Boston, has long been
an abolitionist? and that on the fourth of July, 1W&,
he maintained the infcendiary doctrine before the as
sembled democracy of Hampden county ? ? Has the
editor wad the letters of Judge Morton, Alexander
H. Everett, and the democratic candidates for the
Senate in Massachusetts, to the enquiries of aboli
tionists ? Does he know that a large proportion of
tile Van Buren papers of the State are favorable to
abolition ?
'? Then look at Rhode Island. Who introduced a
gag law into the Legislature of that State ? A Whig
? and Dutee J. Pierce, the Van Buren leader in the
State, used his influence against it. The letter of
Pierce, at the late election, to William M. Chace,
Secretary of the anti-Slavery Society, is full of ultra
"fanaticism," and would condemn him before any
court of Judge Lynch. Even Gov. Hill of New
Hampshire who bears about his own person the de
mocracy of the State tells the abolflionists in a recent
-letter, that he is in favour of a State law, contraven
ing the law of Congress, and gfanting a jury trial to
persons claimed as fugitive slaves.
"What has the Globe to say in reference to the
abolition tendencies of the able organ of the party, in
New York ? the Evening Post ? What of the com
bined democracy and abolition of Wm. Legget ? the
ablest defender who has yet appeared of tne Sub
Treasury Scheme? What of Thomas Morris, the
Van Buren Senator of Ohio, and the only manly ad
vocate of immediate abolition at the Senate board ?
" But enough We commend the above facts to the
editor of the Globe, as evidence that the Northern
and Eastern friends of Martin Van Buren, are not all
prepared to be sold in the Southern maiket ? and
that however powerful may be the machinery of
party, truth is stronger than all."
In the last Chronicle is this clause : " Far
mers, Laborers , and Mechunics of the North!
We solemnly warn you against the combi
nation between Abolitionists and Federalists
? the Beast and the Dragon that have risen
but to destroy !"
Mark ye ! Not a word about the combina
tion of the Abolitionists and the Van Buren
ites ! We simply ask why is this? Every
reader can at once supply the answer. Mr.
Editor of the Chronicle, would it not be
more patriotic and honorable to give the
whole truth of the case ?
SOUTHERN.
MANURES.
Mr. Johnstov, ? In Ruffin's Farmer's
Register for May, 1838> p. Ill, is an extract
from a letter by Lardncr Vanuxem , Esq., for
merly my aid in the College here, giving a |
very brief account of the localities of what
he terms shell marl , in Soutl^Carolina, viz. :
at the Santee Canal, Eutaw Springs, Dr.
Jameson's, near Orangeburgh Court House,
Mr. Darby's, in St. Matthews, at Godfrey's
Ferry, on the Pedee river, on the Edisto,
&c. &c. To which I have to add a locality
two miles south of Darlington Court
House. Marie , technically, is a soil com
posed of sand, clay, and limestone, where
the latter earth is in the proportion of one
third or more. I have, reason to belietfe that
all these localities consist principally of lime
stone, with various proportions of sand, but
a very small quantity of clay, or argillaceous
earth.
My son brought me, a short time ago, a
specimen* of the shells and soil from the
great oyster bank on the Santee, which I
believe extends eight or ten miles. I have
also received from Judge D. Johnson a spe
cimen of the shell marie from near Darling
ton Court House. I regard all these, from
the charactei of the shells in them, to belong
to the Tertiary formation ? in modern phra
seology, antediluvian.
Of the specimen from Santee, I took 100
grains of an oyster shell, (of an extinct spe
oies.) I dissolved it in muriatic acid, and
about 5 per cent, of sand remained undis
solved. I threw down all the limestone with
carbonate of potash, boiling the solution to
drive away any excess of carbonic acid, which
is apt tp keep limestone in solution.
liquor being filtered, and the residuum dried
and weighed, furnished the expected propor
tion of limestone.
I took the earth with which the inside of
the shells was filled up. I dissolved it as be
fore, procuring about 90 per cent, of lime
stone. 'The residuum was chiefly sand, with
but little clay-earth.
I took 100 grs. of the common gravelly soil
furnished me by Judge D. Johnson, from Dar
lington Court House vicinity. I rejected
all the larger fragments of shells, taking what
appeared to be the soil, I treated it as be
fore, with muriatic acid, which dissolved per
fectly 75 per cent, of the gravelly soil, leaving
(when dried perfectly and weighed) 25 per
cent, of soil, almost entirely sand, undis
solved.
Here, then, in various parts of our State,
are deposites of shell limestone, just as valu
able for manure as any other whatever, to
sandy, to clayey, or to an intermixture of
sandy and clayey soil. A source of wealth
that is of very great exten' and very great
value.
Limestone in Europe is applied when
burnt into lime, sometimes to the amount of
300 bushels per acre. Twenty hundred
weight of limestone ought to be exposed to
fire in the kiln till it will yield but eleven
hundred weight, or, more accurately, from
43 to 44 per cent, of carbonic acid ought to
be driven off by the heat ; else the lime is
imperfectly burnt, and will not make good
mortar. When laid and slacked upon the
land, it regains from the air about 30 per
cent, of carbonic acid in about 10 days, and
is gradually changed into limestone again.
Hence the necessity of keeping lime from
the air, which is to be used as a cement ;
hence, too, powdered limestone may be as
good as lime in most cases. I would there
fore, were I a farmer, merely grind and
screen the shell marie, without burning it,
and put at least 300 or 350 bushels ot the
screened earth per acre on the land. This
will form a good constitution of soil, and
will permanently prove useful. I should
deem 400 bushels per acre, on sandy soils,
not too much, and the addition of clay will
add to the productive power of the mixture
thus made. But as I am not a practical far
mer, I say this with deference to the judge
ment of those who are. I am, &c.
