hondt and deluded subjects will scarceI

accomplish this purpose. They will takc
the Wophecy on trust until defeat has pul
the humbug to light, or an explosion han
brought it to the comefriable position ai
whici it now rests-an Independent Trea
sury perfectly bankrupt.
At pr, sent tle people of Souwt Carolinm
huve regarded thu Sub-Treasury scheme
with about as much indill'rence as they
lhavegth popular hutuugs of Animaal Ala.
netisT an1 Phrenology. I ai quite sure
they are equally prepared to sanction out
I nstrnuciug our Senators and Represente
ties t vote for the ExploPring Expedition
-a mieasure of far more Innocent resposa
sibilitj; which connot involve the beggary
of our people and the corruption of our pub
-lic servants.
Thejcategory, therefore, in this resolu
tion I cannot vote for without violating my
own sense of veractity.
Let slhe now say a nord otn the seeonul
I res-lutlo, the most pregnant of all, which,
by a tyipuing device, insinaates an instirne
tion to the refractory mtembers ofCongresE
At leasf it enunciates a featrftul admonition,
ThoJesolution is in these words, "Re.
foltd fat in theopinion of this Legislaturc
a resol tns approving the i09
.' reasuy] is essential to the bet interest
Wf the country; and that any public servant
who refuses to promote the sane, pursues
a course injuriou, to the welfare and pros.
perity of the State."
This resolution, Sir, is certaicly ver%
I modest and utnpretending. The Legisid
ture has a clear and inlcontestible right t
express its opinion that the Sub-Treasury
isa ma'sure essential to thehest interesit
of the country, and that all who liffir in
Opmnion *. ith tiem are- pursuing ;a course in
jtuious to its wel:fare ad prosrtperity. 11111
a.e not our members of Cotueresi equal1
entitled to their opinion? And if it hall
pens to be precisely the couverse of thi'
dogma, may they not solace their ronscien
ces with the belief that in point of fact theW
.ire pursuing t course best calculated tt
promote prosperity and welfare of the cottn
try when they oppose the Sub-Treasury
scheme? Is not this opinion precisely as
iroad Ias it is lon0? And it ta n:arrowed
lown at last ito, sir, your opimon. and ny
opiniton, and any body's opiriont; and thle
declaration sinks into a nvoutralitv about as
ah.urb as it is harmless. I admit it coat
tains a threat; but in this point of view it i.
not so potential as to be beyond all nmati
t..Ieration. A scare-crow it unquestiona.
bly is, but such atn one as old Muzzleton ir
the cornfield, that respectahle per,onagt
who hatsstood for so mav years in tle sauc
spot, bloated with his straw alnd dead
feathers, whomn the very roo:s may eye
with perfect safety.
Sir,-those who concocted- these resol
I tions are perfectly aware that South Car
lina repudiates the doctrine of instrucetiti:.
It has never found favor in her eye,
The exltmple which has beent cited of tht
inastructiotfssen'tt to our delegation to oppost
the tarifl, do not.-apply. They were itn
tended to strengzthen. not to weakent om~
delegation; to give titem confidente in: theil
enurse;-not to violate their conasciences; hte
cause they were known't to conctur wiltht
unanimous opinion of nearly our whole pert
ple on that topic. The efl'ort baefore us a:
certatinly thte first settledl designt to instrue.
and by indlirection to reach the conscieue:
of a reft ahtory mtemnber.
I do no; propose, sir, at this time, to dis
cuss the doctrine of instruction. 1 muta
htowever, assumae the privilege of sayint
that according to any humballe view, the~ ex
Iercise of this doctrinte involves as gross at
usurpation an I faiboay in political ethics a
can well.be conceived.
IIn thie first place, the constatuttion give
tas the right to elect, but give us no right ta
depose our Senators tho very endc anti seopi
of the exercise of the right of itastructiona.
I f it was desigtned that we shotald exercis
this formidlable power, it otught to have heei
sgiven by an express grant in the conastiata
- tion; otherwise t assumptJtiont must be ustur
pation.
IIt is a fallacy, because it proceeds like
-wise oan the tiest asssump:tion that we tr.
hettet informed on the -ubject on which tna
kmaembier of the Nationzal Congress is to es
itrrciue hi~s judgement andc conscience, tha
thitmself-although specially withitn his coai
Pstitutsaonal jurisdictiona and competence; an
for 'the exercise of his free tand unhiasse
subf@rae he is responsible - to .God and hi
couintr
-.This is not all. The practice itselfi
ecalculat ed to work at) entire ebange in ot
sytmor oenet by sbtttn
Ii
legislation (if our State Legislatures fo r
tile Iegislatioti of Congress. Does the con
stitition muiuke our mewihers (it Congress
our slaves? No. The veiom of fuictioi,
disgusting arrogance, and the conceit- of
overweening vanity may attempt to force
I thet to be so.
If these objections hold in the abstract
againit the right ofinstruction, witat florce
do they acquire whenl applied to (lie pres
et occasion and to the persons against
whom the Resolutions onl your table are
levelled.
It is known that one of our Senators and
it is believed that three of our Representa
tives in Congress are opposed to the Sub
Treasury Scheme It is rumored that this
project is at its last grasip. and that it has
been intimated that unless these mehers
can be made to violate their consciences
and vote for tie measure, it must peri-h;
for as it is in a minority of the people ofthe
Union. no hole of its pas-ace canl be enter
tailed except the deed be now done, and
done quickly.
Lihke gooi liege subjects we are therefore
quimniaonied to the sealfeld to witness the in
lletton of the actual cautery or the rack,
II casre of non-cmianee ou the part .f our
public agents.
Let te now pause to ask whether this
ignoble tyranny is worthy of the ancient
repute of South Caroliia! Where is the
elivalry that once graced her renann?
Where he magnanimity and Conifidence
%% ith which she has always treated her pib
lic servants?-a confidenice w hiih w.as the
nurse of manly senmitient, inflexiile iude
pendlecellf, and of a public virtue that
scorned all temptation, save tlt induce
-COI to serve her with hionestv, lideliiy and
truth. Alas, they are all giving way to a
spirit ot vulgar Luco Pocoismt, in the promo
niou of winch ii. fir-, essential step is to
violate all that belonis to the pride and
honor of such servants as South Ciarolina
once had. It is true, we have hind prece
dents from other States ;II. ted fir tour imi
tation and instruction They are no an
thority, iir, in Somh Canrolina. Let those
6tates, it they will, practice their desplo
tisn, liut let them keep) it to themselve.
We will have none of it. At least I know

Ir I am 1101 mistaken, sir. Mr. Preston,
on the oean,ion when Mr. Leigh of Virginia
received the instructions by w, hich that cor
in"".wealth wals pleased to inseruct him ouc
of his sea:, indicated very distinetly that he
was ano convert to the doctrine. I hope that
nmy nemory has served nie right, and that
while Mr. Preston is prepared to treat the
cummunication-which he will doubtless re
eeive fromn our presiding ollicer with the
most perfect respect, be will at the same
tune be prepared ) tiaintain his own in
ilep.'ndence and rigIits whi--h belong t hier
as a Seniator representing the people of this
6tate in their sovereign capacity.
I Iinmst colnfess ihese is something in the
situation of this gentleman, which com
inands both ity symipatliv and considers
Iioni. Although he was educated. married,
& has hived aioig us almost from his child
hlood, yet Ie is, in one sense of the word, I,
strainger; but a stranger whom we havo
honored becaise he was wotihy of heisig
honored. Ile is a native of another State.
I ask myself whether it becomes the old
1nd- lon'L approved hospitalitv of Sonith
Carohnia--that sentiment which is the very
reigioi of our hearth stoies-btis to treat
one who posseses the strongest clainis ta
0iu* psn'tectml .a1ni esteem--one who has
ihr.wnii a lresh halo around the genius of
nour own Sinte-the vigevr, the power, the
beauty of* whose eloquence, and lofty pub
hie pirit have added an attractive arace ti
inoral worth which renders hii character
free froii all suspicioi or reproach.
Men of the State Righits' party, nre you
prepared to sae'ritice a tman who in the liour
of peril stood by yon in unfilte'rin courage
and eivotion, and ihrew his w hole souil in
to your conti'st, aind gave to it the unsur
passed treasures of a genius and elocution,
rirh. varioux, and resplendent!
I know, sir, it has bieen said by some
that Mur. Preston is a friend and perhaps an
atdhereut of Mr. Clay. This niny or mnay
not be true; but I would ask how longis is
sitce, eveii if l'e should prefer the champ
ion lol tne West, to Mr. Van Bren, such a
lreference is to be visited not alone with
censure but positive punislitnent? Has our
State slid. by the easy grailations of an

\nd now, firsooth, I am harced with a

from a similar motive of self respect I am
lisposed to carry n civil toncuo in my head
