Much ado about Nothing.
Wa. EDITOR,
It was% with emotions of mingled admira
tion and delight, that I lately read the pro
found, patriotic and statismantilike views of
quire llolmes as contained in'hit Reso
lutians. i find myself at a loss, however,
which most to admire, the mere beauty and
elegance of the coniposition or the profound
and philosophic views of this embryo states
I man. old Edgefield has long enjoyed a
merited reputation for generosity, bravery
and public spirit; but it was left for Squire
HIoltnes to establish for his country, honor
and distinetion in the field of letters; and
for himself a name and statiot among ihe
Literati of the earth. How deeply is it to
be regretted that the retiring modesty of
this modern Circinnatus should have de.
prived his country so long of his services in
her National Council! I trust that the
riodest merit of this retiring genius will
be no longer overlooked by the people.
The-Slate may justly regard her loss s a
- gain, when. she refleets that the destruction
S - of het City has.led to the discovery o' this
ripe seholar and profound statesman. But
- for that enhimity.this flower too might have
been- "born to bolush unseet"--this light of
Edefield might over have remaincd under
the. hushel.. Afier having tried the sword
and tie ermitne and finding that he wai not
- destined to flourish either in the camp or on
the heilch, he has at .ast most fortunately
discovered ihat his genius lics in legislation.
It is said that the disregard of all con
- enitionall rules is indicative ofa great mind.
A hold and original genius scorns to follow
the beaten track,- but carves out its own
- course. Were you not delighted to see
- this .tuark of geitius in. the redioubtable
Colonel ?- Witness his hold, original snd
beatitifil Orthograiphy-his lofty contempt,
sir, of Lindley Murray and -all his pitiful
rules aboIr Syniax and Prosody.- Mark
.ow they. all -vanish before the. pen of the
Valiant Colonel. Lest however in yourad
mUation for.the substance you may hav
'oiitted. to admire tho drapery4. I *ill at
tempt to collet. for the benefit of your
readers..a few of-the many gems thich lie
scattered.through this literary min'e. The
retioned C'ol. Croket used- to'-boast that
writh tIrat little book'.(Walker's pocket Die
iW'ryl lie 'could spell. against creation.
.ii r ira the Squir.e excelled ev'en
t ou41 Ioast : He cani n'A oily
,-. (. , roc.ket; but even out-spell the
Utettonary. -. His great soul scorns -the as
. tistance1% of any hook; I trust that Squire
Halhunes will. ere long, himself 'write.a book
- upon the "art of spelling," .Now, if that
thick seulled old ellow ,Sam. Jobnso*n;(he
*Dictionai-j man) liad bieen aftei- drawing up
* ~ sonic.'Resolutionis about "pre-legislation"
h~e would have spelt some how after this
fashion :. Called, .Seretary, -Legislature,.

riority of Justice l-ohn'e'genius-his stiik
liw improvemenits in .Orthiography--'Cold,'
* "Secata ry," 'Legislator,'; 'Oession,'- 'Uni
presdented," and the like. 1 look forward
wvith .deliahit to the day when "Homes-on
the art of Spelling" shiall stand in my Li
brary, pre-oeminent above Walker, Web
ster ind .litison.. I ani uiow fully con
* inced of the truth of honest Dogberry's
*doctrine, namely, that "reading and writ
ing comnis by nautturte.'.' . It was ihusclearly
tht Juostice lloimes acqluired his, for we
k lnow~ that suchl learning is not to be found
in the-books.
Upon reading these Resolutions, as is
any habit,.I fell-to musing uponi the motives
which.influience mani ini his coturse through
life. Iasked msyself, what motive is that
whui cotild indtiee a men, .voluntarily,
. to expose his own ignorance, and hold hinm
--self tip to public scorn and ridictule ? Could
kt he fronm-the pitiful and childish vanity of
.sceinig his namse in the newspaper? WVill
n ma.ii.to avoid obscurity, put on the. mot
icy coat andm write fool in his own forehead!
flaving conisidlei-e.l the literary mnerit, let
us~ for a inomnent conteinplate the- profound
* . learining of this constirutional Lawyer.
*These famouts Rtesolti ons commence by re
*.solving. "that we holieve the exti-a session
of our legisiausire to be unconstitutional, un
* wia and. i~nmpolitie " -Bear with me whilst

* whatt v'ir tfe ~thtere .is in SIYBMISSION.

thsxtra esion of the legislature to .he
"anconsititutional." And unfortunately fot
*yourself, y oti have hee ni- guilty of the
* iimpruadencre of puabliihintg this declaratios

-* -~ .;.- - .
charityto think that you tover have. For if
you had,.you would have kuowi that tlh' ex
tra session was, at least, not tinconstitution
al I think too highly of your. int'elleri t'
suppose that you could not understand
it. ~ And too highly of- your political' in.
tegrity to suI)ose you would wilfully msiis
represent. Which horn of the dilemima io
you choose? In charity I % ill gotd you
with the smoother. You confess then, tiht
you were denouneing men tir difirine w'itl
you on a question of which you were pro.
foundly ignorant. "Trul'y, a- mighty nrn
has fallen in Israel." I sincerely.. sir, com
miserate your situation. I would it iere
so you could be spared this castigatioin!
But public policy frorbids it. You havi
thrown down the gauntlet. You have liad
the strange indiscretion of holding yourself
forth. as a statesman, comspetent to direct
public opinion. You have d]one more; you.
have denounced the cotirse pursued by our
Representatives as "unprecedented, uncon
stittitional and unwise." You have resolved
to proscribe every one who does not entbr
tain the same conslittitional doctrines as
yourself. Whait right then have you to
complain when you arc in sturn assailed ?
If your ignorance hass been exposed and
you are held up to ridienle, with what pro
priety (an you murmtr? Are you not the
aggressor ? Ilad :ou remained with us in
the station of a private citizen, I should
have been the last on earih to wound your
feelings on account of a difference of opin
ion. But, sir, when you voluntarily leuive us
to become a pvoliieiano-w hen for dhe pur
pose of giving y*ourself poinioence, you are
dictating to others and degrading your Dis
trict-w. hen you are attempting to rouse
popular prejudice. and commence throw.
ing fire-brandp and raising the cry of pro
scription, I feel it my solenu duty as as man
and a citizen of Edgefield, regardlesb of cont
sequences. to rebuko such conduct anud to
hold it up in its naked deformity to the pubt-.
lie gaze. I am a citizen of the District,
and as deeply interested in its welfare as
you are; I have the same right to enter- -
tain and express uy opinion,, that yost
have, upon all matters of legislation, and.I
am not to be detered by any base feeling of
self interest or personal pe-ril. You, sir,
.think yourself competent to direct public
opinion in this .District. I difli~ with you.
The people will jtdge. bet%%een us.. To
their decree I will.slubmit most- cheerfully.

Ma. EDITOR:
If the conscionshess ofthe.proud.position
which South Carolina occupies attong her
sisters, affords me a high gratification as a
Caroliniin, wha.t mus. be my feelings as a1
Nullifier. of Edgefield. when J reflect that
hat District has by its intelligence and in
dlependence-by tihe singleness and-deputh
of its devotioni to the Staste, been eitefly iri
st rumental in elevating hter to her present
pre-emitnentce. To .what ca~n we turiltute
the-unrivall ed reputations wvlich S. Carolina
now enjoys, except in the disisiterestedl o
tives and high impululses by ii hich her pseu
ple htave ever been impelled to sacrifice all
things for her protect ion or promtionl
Howv then cast she tmaintain her present po
sition unless shte can perpetuate this prin-:
eip~le!
A desire to perpettuate it as well ais a
belief, that it is the imptersous duty of
every son of Carolina, so preserve the es
cutcheon of htis State, as carefully ais he
would his own, free fromt btlot or blemtish,
has determtined me to make sthe followinig
commlaent on Col.-Hlolmses' II esol utios.
I sin proudl of my State; but I glory int
my District If S. Carolina is istinguish-'
edh, Edgefield has contributed to-that dis
tinetion in nto iriall degree. This is nto idle
boast. in thirty two, whetn the star ofottr
State was obscuiredl by the dark clouds of
despotism--whlen the sun ofpt 'sisrity shiuse
no longer upon us and whens even htope had(
folded up her Itis wing, where was Old
Edgefleid! Ask Col. H lm~tes if ht-remneist

a Temple to Liberty-wJ - they were
sibout pouring out teir life blood as a iham
tion upon tho allar ofpattioitism-s-where wa's.
this gallant defender of the Constittution!
Do you suppose,. Col. Ilotimes, that ee
are so be dictated to hby a man whose .heart
sattk and whose cheek blantched in tose
days .of danger? Do you siuppose.sir,.that
wi wifl trust a man who wvotthdbut yester
da., have critnsoned his hsands in ste pine-.
cinus blood of Car-olinians? Do yn expLct
to blinid our eyes ats to your motives by the
brilliiimey of yottr genits-or are you so
sen'seless as to suIppIo thtat thie meni who
in thirty two would have lavished not
