. From the Norfolk Argus. TIIE CONSTITUTIONAL KiCHTS OF SECESSION. Has a State aright to secede from the Union, or in othsr words, is it. a constitutional right ? This js an important question when viewed in relation, to the responsible position likely to be taken by South Carolina. We do not design to discnss it St this time, cimnlv nronose toirive hi<rh authority in rv-r* ~t u support of the clniin. The power has a!wa}*s been contended for in Virginia since the memorable resolutions of 1798, .as is clear from the exposition of them by the celebrated report i drawn by Mr."Madison. In defending the third of these resolutions, which asserts the doctrino of State interposi'ion, the committee say "that they have scanned it not merely with a strict but with a severe eye, and they feel confidence in pronouncing, that in its just and fair construction, it is unexceptionaly true in its several positions, as well as Constitutional, and con-' elusive in its influences." What were the ! positions of the third resolution ? 1st. That ) the powers of the Federal Government were i limited to the plain sense of the instrument j constituting the compact. 2d. That in case of a deliberate, palpable and dangerous infraction of the compact, the State has the right to in- J terpose to arrest the progress of the evil, by ; maintaining within its respective limits the au- j thorities, rights and liberties appertaining to it. This inference says the report "is constitutional and conclusive." Mr. Jefferson maintained the same doctrines in the famous resolutions draf ed by him and adopted by the legis'store of Kentucky in 1799. Mr. Alex. Ham-1 ilton in one of his papers in the "Federalist," ] admits that if the Federal Government should oppress the States, the state governments i would be ready to check it by virtue of their j own inherent sovereign powers. "It may safe-! be received as an axiom in our political system i (says Mr. Hamilton,) that the State governments will, in all possible conlingences, afford i complete security .against iuvasion of the public liberty by the national authority ? Project of usurpation cannot lie mashed under the pretences so likely to escape the peuetration of select bodies ofmen,.ps of the people at large.? The Legislatures will have better mean? of in- i formation. They can discover the danger at! & distance, and possessing ail the organs of civil power and, the confidence of the peojde,! they am at once adopf a regular plan of bppo-1 sition, In which they can combine all the re-! sources bl the community. rNatbaniel Macon, for thirty years .a member of the Senate of the Unito! States from the : State of North Carolina, awl of whom -John j Randolph of-this State said that he was the ; purest and wisest man who had ever taken part' in the counsels of the nation, in a letter in reply expresses the following opinion*:" " there j can be no doubt that the United States are in { a deplorable situation, and that the publication of the opinion yoa desire would be-useless. It | has never been a secret, and .always stated to those who wanted to know it In the year 1824 the Constitution was buried iu the Senate ; ?the Senators who were then present win, 11; ? believed, recollect the fact?and never after- ; wards quoted by in?*:while I. continued in the Senate. The. opinions of Gen. Washington, Mr. Jeffersop, and Gov. Clinton, are known, but not respected. I have never believed that j a State could nolliftr and remain in the Union, j but have sdway^wSlieved that a State might secede when she pleased and this right I have ' considered the best guard to public liberty and to public justico that could be desired; and it ought to have prevented what is now feilin the South, oppression.- When Confederacies be- i gin- to fight, liberty is soon lost, and the govern-1 ment is soon changed. A government of opin , ion-, established by sovereign States, for special purposes, cannot be maintained hv force. The use of force makes enemies, and enemies can- j not live in peace under such a government" These are the views deliberately expressed , by the patriots 'and sages of by-gone days? j men-who mnde'the science of oar' complex ma-1 cMnery of government their study and two of; whom Assisted in the formation of the present; Constitution.

SECESSION IX NEW.YQRIv. The Courier and Enquirer has a queer fancy; it assimilates the relation of South Carolina and the Federal Government to that of Hungary towards Aastria, and considers the obligations of the President to pufdown secession as binding as it was on old Austria to subdue the gallant Magyars. The Courier and Enquirer is consistent in its views. It looks upon all efforts to disturb and overthrow the existing goverumentss highly criminal. It does not however, follow those hypocritical journals which dispiAy great enthusiasm in behalf of the HunworJnnc ?nd Irish, but regards the Cubans who ! b"'"J t o I struggle .for liberty as plunderers and rpbbers. j When the doctrines of &e Courier and Enquirer are to be carried into operation, wo trust Col. Webb will receive that Brigadier's commission which be sought so vigorously during the Mexican war. Here is the manifesto of the Courier and Euquirer, with the comments of the Impress.?N. O. Delia. The Courier, noticing the Secession Convention in South Carolina, says they must now begin to act, and cease talking, and that now they i will shrink from their own doings. This is a i strong Government, Iho Courier is sure, that it can put down alFits domestic encrnios. We qnote: ] "The idea that this nation, the lustiest and 1 the proudest .Jjbe sun ever shone upon, is going j to fold its arms and quietly suffer itself to bo ' <l:?noml>apail nrirl ri<?Ktmved is siimvrm*!v ridir. i ulous. Tile weakest and meanest government < flint has u footing on enrth wonM not submit to i jt. * Stir-preservation is as inslinctivo in nations I r' as in individuals, and assure to call out every energy; and there is 110 kind of vitality that is a huudrorilh part so hard to extinguish as national vitality. It requires a multitude of internal diseases, or a host of'external violences, to destroy it. The cancer and the gangrene, the fire and the sword, may do their worst upon it for years and for generations?yet, as in the case of the old Roman Empire for centuries? and still lives and lingers, and recoiling from the very thought of annihilation, it now and then rallies its flagging energies into an effort worthy of its palmiest days. Look at old Austria, poor, weak, superanualed, and almost drivelling as the world deemed her. A domestic blow was aimed at its existence, and, beset with innumerable di (lien I ties, and for a time bafllod and beaten, she speedily mustered strength, and j hurled her enemies prostrate at her feet. If an 1 empire, worn down by age, sick with ceaseless wrong, and saddened by the prospect of a fu- I tare which at best must be dark and danger- ! ous, is capable or such an effort to save it from destruction, what may not a Republic like ours, full of vigor and youth, cheered by a consciousri.rlit nnil mvrnrl nn bv the sure nromise "VOO V" Iig.n, u>i? " ' -j r ot' a destiny such ;is the world never before imagined, do to the same cud mid with the same motive." Upon this the Express says: "Unfrv ;.,iatc comparison! When the 'Austria* of the United States pounces upon its 'Hungary,' it would be a luckless day. 'l'he Courier forgets that this is a government of opinion, not of force?and that unless we have opinion in the South to maintain the Union force cannot maintain it. To command that opinion, we Northern men must do our duty to the constitution?in full obey its injunctions, at least respect its compromises. We cannot conquer the South. Indeed, we will never try. Knots of traitors can and must be put down, but whenever the North is to be brought into a battle field against the whole South, we are for a dissolution of such a mockery of a Union." SECESSION ?THE UNION OF THE SOUTH. We have maintained that by secession, South Carolina will not be de Americanized,? we go a step further, and assert that she will be more than ever SoutJiernized by that act . . I Suppose that secession does not result in a Southern Confederacy, (which we are by no means prepared to admit,) in what way will it' separate South Carolina from Georgia, North Carolina and the other Southern States ? So far as Government is concerned?all those (unctions of government concerned in the reg Illation ot internal auairs, in giving reuuuij m life, liberty and jyopfer.y?those States are now as distinct ami separate from each other as England and France. The}* lay and collect them; they make laws and enforce tlieni, over the whole domain of civil rights and the whole cabtli.gne of crime, without concert or connection with each, other. The Union between South Carolina and her sister States consists in tliis?"the citizens of each State shall he entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States." Here is the great bond which in our daily intercourse binds us together. We are indeed bound together, through the General Government, to give mutual aid in defence against the aggressions of foreign nations, llut aggressions by foreign nations are of rare occurrence?and would never occur at all in the case of States whose great interests are a desirable element in the trade of all the civilized world, were they not implicated with other States having conflicting interests. But by seceding from tire Union, South Carolina will in no way disturb the relations of the others with foreign powers orwith each other. If these relations are changed at all, it will onlv be towards herself. Will secession so nf feet these relations as to separate Soilh Carolina from the rest of the Southern States, or to divide the latter among themselves 1 This cannot happen, unless secession creates barriers against the local and commercial intercourse between them. Hut South Carolina will erect no such barriers. On tho contrary, it will bo her policy to remove any tliat exist, and by every means in her power to draw the Southern Suites closer to her and closer to each other. iivery privilege and immunity which now exists, will lie assured to the'people of the other Southern States coining within her jurisdiction. She can do more. By increasing the value of these privileges and immunities, she can allure the people.of the Southern States to exercise thein to an extent they lmve never done before. If by laying a light duty of 7 to 10 per cent, on imports, our intercourse i3 not promoted, the remedy is very easy. We can abolish the custom house altogether, declare absolute free trade with all the world, and collect whatever money we need to carry on our government by direct taxes. It can be demonstrated that the General Government takes by indirect taxes, from every man, woman and child in South Ca- ! rolina, not less than.five dollars a head, nearly the whole of which is spent in other States.? One half that sum will be more than sutficiont to support the government of South Carolina as a separate State, whilst the whole will be expended among her own people. Will tho other Southern States be alienated from South Carolina by this policy? Admit that the world shall suddonly he stricken with scruples, and that not a dollar's worth of our merchandise shall ho smuggled across the hor j? i ?:ii ?... il. (lurs, IIUW win uui iciouuiio lunarus uiu uiiiur Southern States he changed for tlio worse? If a merchant in Savannah or Mobile, instead of going farther to New York, thinks proper to import his goods from Charleston, he will pay the same duties on them in his own port, which must have been already paid if he had bought them in a city of the United States. In both cases the duty, say 30 percent, is levied, and no more. But there will be advantages which Charleston will have over Northorn Cities.? Free trade will ensure to Charleston the abso[uto monopoly of nil the interior trade of South Carolina, and will thus secure the basis of a perfect system of maiine transportation. Free Trade will make Charleston the depot of goods for the whole continent. It will be nearer and cheaper for the Southern Merchants, to purchase the goods as they are wanted, and pay the duty on them only when they arc wanted, than to have the burden of the duties exacted at ^iew Y ork, lying for a long time 011 them. Trouble and time are of themselves taxes?and distance renders intermediate agencies necessary. Under such a policy South Carolina will not only import for the South, but most probably for the West Indies and the whole Southern continent. And we ask will South Carolina thus separate herself from the other States ? On the contrary, will they not be more united to her, and more united amongst themselves, than they have ever been? The truth is, the (Tenera 1 Government, by its usnrping and aggres sive policy, has disunited the Southern States, and made them tributary to the North. Instead of importing and exporting for themselves, the North imports for them. New York has been eagerly, and not without success, seeking to become the great market for the export of cotton, as she is for the imports which it buys. To liberate the South from this thraldom ; to unite her people in the enjojment of their own resources and the defence of their own institutions ; and to make South Carolina finally more intimately united with them all, is the grand object of secession. If the statesmen of South Carolina are only true to these great objects before them, it is not in the power of mortal man to prevent theirconsumption.?Charleston Mercury. GENERAL QUITMAN. In contradicting the federal slander that Genernl Quitman had any connection with the late abortive Cuban expedition, we stated that ? ? - . J l.: a dinner (inn punnc reception awaueu mm hi Jackson, on (lie 14th instant We learn I'rom the Mississippian of the 16th that this was all his most ardent admirers conld have desired, and must have been most gratifying to the feel: ings of Jhe gallant veteran. At Vicksburg he [ was made the guest of the city, and was received by a committee with the usual ceremonies, and escorted by procession to the railroad depot, amid the roar of cannon and the clang of mush*;. At the various depots, inanv persons had collected to pay ' due respect to the late Chief I Magistrate of the State; but at the town of ! Clinton, the reception was enthusiastic beyond desoripuon. His arrival at Jackson, on Tuesday evening, was announced by the firing of cannon, which mingled Its tones with the greetings of the people. A rery large concourse had gathered, at the depot; and as the cars came up, three times three "chbers for Quitman " rent the air. Here many a hearty shake of the hand hespoke love and admi'ation for the veteran soldier, who, three months ago, was forced to lay aside the robes of office with which a grateful people had invested him, and in the custody of the United States Marshal, to appear before a (lis ;nnt tribunal to answer a groundless charge. 4 n..AAA?JSnb moo tvMpJi PXPlirtpd llilll .1 |;i ??ag vra??>v\i ?iuv>< to his lodgiiigs, and was dismissed after again giving tiiree " cheers for Gen. Quitman," and ' three cheers for the Hon. W. McWillie," who hud joined the procession. On Wednesday, all arrangements having been made, a vast procession conducted him to the scene of festivity to which he was invited, and there the reception speech was made to hint, breathing the warm attachment of a brave people, and to which lie responded in a most satisfactory manner, if we may judge from the brief epitome of'tlie Mississippian : " For nearly -two hours, the.old hero and statesman riveted the attention of his vast auditory. It was due to himself aud to the multitude who surrounded him, that lie should devote a portion of bis remarks to the proceedings which had been the remote occasion of this imposing demonstration. Alter expressing in affecting terms the deep sense of gratitude that swelled his bosom for the continued confidence and approbation which had been so signally manifested by his fellow-citizens, he alluded to the prosecution against him by the Government, and again .declared that ho hud no participation whatever in the Cuban expedition ? that he peremptorily refused to participate ill it, notwithstanding the repeated aud urgent solicitations that were made to him. He said there was not a scintilla ot evidence against him and those who nursued him with such bit " 1 terness well knew it The chief motive that influenced them was the humbling of a sovereign State beforo the majesty of the central government, by forcing its chief executive otficer to the alternative of resigning, or permiting its dignity to bo lowered in his person. The slander in connection with the State arms was also denounced in becoming terms. He next adverted to his own position 0:1 the all-absorbing topics of the d ty, and corrected the false and unwarrantable constructions which had been placed upon his published documents by the so-called "Uniou" leaders. Ho discussed the momentous question at issue at considerable length. Suffice it to say, that it was replete with facts and.jirguments; aud when lie closed, all felt that they had listened to the counsels of a true hearted patriot; and exulted in the fact, 'that not a stain rests upon a single feather in the plume tim^waves over his brow.' " After the dinner, Hon. W. Me Willie was called out, "Ho is a man to whom the popular heart beats; and ho was greeted, as he well deserv- j etl, with boisterous applause. He rendered a I satisfactory account of hisstewardship; and tho' response'well done'was repeatedly given. Healso dwelt atconsiderable length upon the wrongs of the South, and her duty at this trying period of her history, when her institutions are threatened with overthrow, and when tho central government, controlled as it is by anti-slavery spirit, reaches forth its iron arm to reduce tho Southern Suites to more dependencies. His speech was listened to with marked attention, and produced a most happy effect. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour when Col. McWillio concluded his remarks, loud calls ' were made for Gen. G. W. L. Smith, Hon. i George Poindoxter, Attorney General Glenn, , and E. C. Hooker, all who made speeches, all nffi-rinnr ttin annfimonbs of determined resistance - O 7 , to tyranny and fanaticism, and unswerving do- ' votiou to the rights of the South." < The Mississippiun says the " occasion was 1 one long to be remembered by the friends of < I tlie South.

Editohs: As the season of the year has returned when our merchants will lie again going North to purchase goods, for the Fall ami Winter trade, it may not he amiss at this time, to throw out a few hints, as to where they ought to go for that purpose. In a Communication which you were good enough to publish for me some six or eight months ago, I endeavoured to impress upon iny fellow citizens, the truth, that through the tucket wa? the only ?ure way to touch ihc hearts ol our Yankee Brethren (?) of Massachusetts and Now Eng. land generally; that truth I think has l>een within that time, fully developed in Boston: first in the case of Shadrach who was forcibly rescued (not from "the burning fiery furnace,'' but from his rightful owner), and more lately in the case of Sims, who was recovered at a cost of about 85000, which has had the happy elfeet of making many Southern Merchants with.1 ... t . f.... .. 1I...1 1..1 < ..1 e / uruw iiicir puwrMingu iruiu uiiu nui lieu Ol I5> nalicisin, and bestowing it upon New York, where, op to this time, the Law has been respected. The Boston Post a month or two since said, "It is estimated that more than a million of Dollars in Sales has been lost to Boston, this Season, on account of the impression among Southern Merchants that Boston would not sua tain the Compromise Measures." Now is it not ridiculous for the Post to call what is a fixed fact, an impression ? Does the Editor of the l'osl not know that Boston will violato, and has violated this Law instead or' sustaining if? he does! What then is our dutv in the premises ? I will pnrlp.ivmii' tr> tlinw ?

Merchants of the South, can you any longer trade as you have traded, with your enemies? I hope not? If you can exercise the lex talionix in the other way, withdraw your patronage, and they may yet "make a virtue of necessity" ami yield us our rights; their pocket nerves may yet compel them to "assume a virtue if they have it not." In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I hope that every Southern Paper will hold up to the com muni; ty in which it circulates, the perfidily and fanaticism of the people of Boston, as unworthy of tho confidence or patronage of the South, and as far as possible dissuade oar Merchant* from going there for busiuess or pleasure; they . can do as well in Baltimore, which is nominally ^ slaveholding, and Philadelphia and New York, which sn far have at least resnected the Lau'a.
