[BY REQUEST.] From the Charleston Courier, Jldy 18. TO THai. HON. JOHN P. RICHARDSON: ' The manner. in which the discuscion ot your conduct and opinions hat been con dueled heretofole. has been neither just to ourself nor satsfactory to the public. The babitual intervention of third persons be tween a candidate and the peopie, offi ciously assuming to he his interpreters, subject him to distrust, either of not hav ing opinions of his owu. or of being reluc tant to express them, and to give his ow% n reasons for his conduct. As to you, I feel sure such impressions would be unjust. While your independence would revolt at the bare suspicion of being "gagged and guarded" through a canvass, your pure and perfect democracy would incline you to a direct communication with your fel low citizens. When it is insinuated by one writter that you was connected with the military organization of the Union party in 1834, and charged by another that the proclamation was your standard ofcon.titutional orthodoxy, I know that you would prefer to answer for yourself. In deed, in repelling charges of so grave a nature, the interference of friends would but increase the suspicion of their truth; and it is to protect you from unfounded inferences resulting from this source, that, in the exercise of an undoubted right, I approach you by direct inquiry. Having been a member of the Jackson party throt.ghout the whole of the adminis tration of the late President. your approv al of the doctrines and measures of that administration will, of course, be taken for granted, unless denied by you in your own name. The leading feature of President Jackson's administration was his contro versy n ith your own State, and the doc trines through which he sought to define his position in that controversy, are set forvt in his Proclamation of the 10th Dec. k32. 'The rollowing is a summary ofthe uni'O' d taken by that paper, to-wit: That a prwer assumed by one State to arrest -a! un!constitutional act of Congress, "is ire..mpatible with the existence of the Ui'on, contradicted expressly by the let t-,- c.t'e Constitution, unauthorized by its spirit, inconsistent with every principle on whivh it was fountded, and destructive of the great olject for which it was formed." That the ordinance, by which a conven tion of the people of South Carolina de clared the protecting tariffs to be null and void, was a disorganizing edict," framed by those whose objects were "disunion," only to be carried into el'ect through a "forci ble opposition" to the "execution of the laws," which opposition would be "trea son." That it prescribed -'a course ofeon duct in direct violatinit of their duty as cit. izensof the United States, coutrary to the laws of their country, subversive of its constitution, and hating for its object the destruction oJ the Union." 'That '-strict duty required of the President, nothing' iore (in reference to South Carolina)than the exercise of those powers with which he was then, or might afterwards be in vested, for preserving the peace of the Union, and for the execution of the laws." That the several States, through tle adop tion of the constitution became --one peo. ple," the people of a "single nation." in the government of which, the "people of the States are collectively represented," und the 'unity' of whose "political char. ncter" "commenced in its (the govern ment's) very existence, the States "form ing one nation," of which they became "parts,*' and to which the allegiance of the colonists "was transferred in the first instance," and due in the capacity of "A merican citizens." And, finally, that the sovereignty of the States was ceded by giving to the Government the powver to punish 'treason against thte United States.' Such were the udoctrines avowved by the hiead' of your party, and sustainedl conri poraneously byfederal arm~aent, and do nestic military orgai:ation, and placed as you have been befoare the peoplle of Solu b Carrolina, asone of his followers, they are entitled to know whether stuch principles or measures, either now or in times past, have been stustained by your participation, or met your apaproval? This brings us down to 1832 only, the date of the proclamation. The period, however, at which you are most conspic uously put forth as a pacificattor, wrats in 1834, two years afterwards; and you will pardon me thaerefore for extending may in quiries down to that time. By refering to a file of any State Rights paper published in Soauth Carolina in AMay of that year, you will find, undler dlate of the 17th April, a circular addressed to "Capt. Teague," lby "Thomas P. Spear int," comprising the form of a mhilitary re turn, in which -'butc;her ktnives," "battle axes," and "ball screws" figure with con sptcuous prominence: and strating thtat "the committee office have assigned the five di visions of this State." Thme letter clases thus: "N. B. confine your report to Union men alone." If you had any knowledge of the Teagute anti Spearin conspiraey in 1834, be good enough to state to n' hta the division in whic-h you reside aas "as signed," and for what purpoase a tmilitary orgatnization, whicha was to he confintd to Union men alone was intended? Perhtaps, htowever, it would lie more just that I should confine nay inquires to bulletins isstuing from the District of Cla rendon alone in 1834. Anid I will now ausk permaisiont to direct yourm attention to a Preamble and Resolutions of the 2d of A ugust of that year, signedl itn your Dis :rict by 152 of your tparty. The &-h reso luion denounces the oath of allegiance contained itn the ordinance as "a-base and nefarious conspiracy to desolve the Union." w hich "ought to be resisted as treason to the Government " The .5th pledges those who sianed to resist -'with all the means with wohich God and Nature lave endowed them;" and the 7tln is as follows, viz: "That we do hereby vow, and pledge our fortunes, our lives and our honors to each other. never to perm it, unresisted by~ our uni ted efforts. the inflictiona of a penalty upon any man of this communty, refuisinga to take thme oath!!" And these are.thae men who in this very paper had the daring to denounce a Convention of the State of South Carolina as base arid nefarious con spirators, are they? Against whoam, or against what? N'o: certainly against their state, nor against their houses, or their own hearths? Rut what wats this Claren ulon 'cnpancyn' A n nrgnniantion inr mu. tual support by which the law paramount of South Carolina was to be resisted, "with all the means which God and Nature had endowed thet;" and the people will de mand to know of you, who is to he held responsible as the head.and front of this "conspiracy?" . And, finally, was not the conclusion of that Preamble in these words:-"We are not insensible to the hazards of the con test in which we are engaged; we are not bolind to the perils which we must encoun ter. Forseeing them, we are prepared to meet them-knowing them, we brave death rather than perjtry, and appealing to God for the justice of our cause, we trust the issue to his providence, and offer to the world the result of afiued and abiding de terminution?" There is another point to which I would desire to be answered. Did not those who signed those proceedings, in the 8th Resolution "aver (their) irrevocable deter mination to vote for no man to any ofice. who advocates and supports it, 0the oath of allegiance eithernow or hereafer, or until he shall have changed his opinions?" Did you sign the paper, an. if so, have you chainged your opinions, or have your kept your vows? Remember that a failure to answer distinctly each of these several in terrogatories will confer upon it the char acter of a charge undenied. PATH FINDER. From the Charleston Mersury. Messrs. Editors:-Col. Richardson has never when properly approached refused to define his position as to political ques tion pastor present-and having experi enced his frankness I take the liberty of speaking for him-and assuring your read ers that I speak what I know. Before replying to the questions propounded through the Courier, I beg leave to enter my protest against their apirit and motive. I protest againstthe spirit ofmischief,which to gain an advantage in an election of such comparatively small importance as that of Governor would revive to bitterness of our old party feud. It is neither just, delicate nor generous to rake up from Lethe all the misdeeds and exasporations of that bitter contest and hold one man responsi ble for.all; and as I believe the purpose of these writers is to excite prejudice and not to elicit truth-(for I presume they did not expect that Col. Richardson would suf fer himself to he drawn into a newspaper canvass) I write not to satisfy but to disap. poim them. Col. Richardson did warmly advocate and support "the leading feature" of Gen. Jackson's Adminitration, viz: his opposi lion to a National Bank-and disapproved of the political principles of Clay and Webster and the other accredited expo nents of the principles of the National Federal-Whig party, With the principles atiributed by "Path finder" to Gen. Jackson's Proclamation Col. Richardson does not atid never did accord. lie denies all constitutional right or power in the Federal Governmenttto punish as treason, an act of otedience in the citizetn to the mandate of a sovereign state. This wi!l 1 think satisfactorily an swer all the questions of that write'r re specting the Proclamation. Of "the Military Oreanization" of any party to resist the constituted authoritiesof ror rtate. much %nas written and -aid at the time or the Nullification strurgle-but, is Col. Richardson, I know, and no par; >r lot in any such organizntiou, he caiot ,ive any information on the subjen. If my such organization did exist, th, know edge of it was withheld from .m-per iaps because he was deemed unworthy :o be lot into the mvster -perhaps be. !ause it was presumeI, and rightly that he would not join in it Col. Richardson rann.ot thereforehbe expected to give the letails with whici..he had no more con ,ection-anmd it seems less information hanit '-Pthlrder" himself. 'Pathmtaler" i4 very consistent surely n holdr Col. Richardson respotible for oll the hostile movements when he in the ame piece concedes him the small merit 0f having been a pac jiceator. 'Pathinder" also treats that clever and staunch Union man, the Editor of the Courier with very odd coturtesy when in his very columns andI presence he inti mates and pursues his purpose of invok inig a spitit of presctiption atnd revenge' to exclude from state office every1 man who has been a member of the old Union par ty. I would he ashamed of thte name of which I am proud-that of "Carolinta Nullifier" if I thought that after all ,that has past in the wvay of reconcilemenet, and rompromise. and niedee and co-operation, many Nullifiers could be yet actuated by stuch a spirit. -? .Thatt Col. Richardson and his constit tnents stretnuotusly and with all constitutiont al means opposed the "test oath" or oath of Allegiance is wvell know-but his objec tions were founded exclu~sively on the pre s',med intention. When by the Cotpmit tee or F'edernl Relations the motive was exphllined and otne party gave the nssttr atnce thatt the oath was not inconsiutent withI any ma n's constitutional ob~ligations, an'l was not fratne-' for p~roeciption.. Col. Richardson, a the other leading men who acted wie himn-withdre-w their op. position-andl where not ashamtedj So en tertain atgain and cherish feelitngs of con fidence atnd kindness towards those from whom a temporary misconcep~tion had estranged thettn. For the Clarendon resolutione alluded to. by one of Col. Richardenn assailants. the people of Clarendrin are responsible. and neither they nor he will shrink from their reapective shares of thte responsibili ty. I do not remember the resolutions. I could sav more to prove how ungen erous and tunjusat it is to etndeatvour to e~x cite the Nulliniers naainst this gentlemnan -by stirring tip every disagreeable topic of party lore; hut enough of the past. It ha nothing to do with the practical dutties required of a Governor or any other pubi lie servant. WVhat is Col. Richardson's present position-and what course of poll cy may wte expect from him when he is elected. - He is decidedly opposed to all discrim inatin tariffduties for protection. He holds the doctrine of instruction as part of his political creed. Hle has full faith in the wisdom of thi Indepetndent Treasury system, and it. successf'ul operation-and believe -that if aided by indicious State Legisltin, :. will place the credit and prosperity of the country beyond the reach of revulsion or vicissitude. He is favorable to the re-election of Martin Van Buren-because he believes that his measures comport with the inter est of the South, and because the party opposing him combines all the elements of Abolition and Federalism. In the pending election Col. Richard son has no personal oljects or ambitious or selfish purposes to gratify; and has done nothing to provoke the hitter assaults and disparaging language of the writers opposed to him; and I do not expect them to be satisfied with this explauation-for it will I trust defeat their design, and des troy their only chance of defeating him viz: the stirring up old party feuds.
