Congress, and many of the puoilc writers of the Southern States, have for nearly h wear mas, been both openly and coVer,ly engaged in fomeniing treason. And at this very time, tue Legislature of one of the states of the Union is publicly engaged in the discussion of reasonable meaSures.- On the 9th inst. the three following reSu- Iutions were brought forward in the Senate of South Carolina, by Mir. Wilson, of Win yaw:

 1s'. That the late Tariff act of the | n'- ted States, laid for the protection oi Do- mestic Manufactures, is Gnc"nSutut'ohdi' void and imperative: and not binding "h the citizens of this State, and they are dlS- charged from all obedience to the same.

 2d. That the Governor of thIs State be instructed and required to protect the CItI- zens of this State from the unconstitution- al control or oppression of all such laws as may be attempted to be enforced against them from any and every foreign authori- ty.

 Sd. That the foregoing resolutions be forwarded by the Governor to the Presi- dent of the United States, our Senators & Members of Congress, and to the C"llect- ors of the towns of Charleston, George town and Beaufort.

 A letter from Columbia, of the same date. intimates that when the discussions shall have terminated, it is probable the Legislature will act-a0ithout committing the State that ii, we suppose, without any overt act of treason. The CherGr Radical indicates it's title as characters- tic one, in the following observations:

 %'We are decidedly for doing scmehing. We agree altogether with Col. Preston, that the time has come when we must cease to talk, and prepare to act. We would not be understood as advocating diSuniOn. But we de think that remonstrances would not only be now useless, but ddst0rdly. Yes, we must throw down our quills-and, in the eloquent language of Mr. Butler, (ot Edgefeld) let us hold out to our brethren of the north in one hand the olive branch of peace, while we clasp the undrawn sword in the other. Let us stand upon our rights, and offer them but one alternative Equality of Taxation, or DisuniOn and Separation. If this odious principle of monopoly is not abandoned entire y, we

 

 cannot endure long,"

 During the excitement of the Presiden. tial election, the Jackson men of the North would not open their eyes to the conduct and language of the disorganizers of the South. That question is now settled; and the unity of interest which then bound to- gether tariff and anti-tariff men, in their asfiety eBs y ;9 elect !. fayorite candidate and der them blind to the nature and conse- quences of such doctrines and denuncia- tions as are openly avowed and illuminated in the legislative halls of South Carolina and from the lips of her Executive. We were then told by the Jackson presses at the North, that the riots and resolutions, and burnings in effigy, &c. were the mere efervescence of popular and transient feel ing; that they were the academical exer- cises of the boys at Columbia, who were studying political economy, &c. Is this the case now? Or will these presses sup port the high-handed audacity which de- clares that a single state may erect itself against the Union, because legislature sees fit to usurp the power of the Supreme Court, and on the authority of its own in. terest declare a solemn act of Congress unconstitutional

 KENTUCKY vs. s. CAROLINA. Ertract from the Message of Gov. Metcalte to.

 the Legislatnre of Kentucky.

 Before close this communication, per- init me in the spirit of meekness and mod eration, and deep regret, to speak of, and to deplore, the dsaffection to the govern- ment of the Union, which has recently manifested itself among some of our breth- ren at the South. Not content with their due weight and influence in the councils of the nation-not disposed to submit to the decision of any majority in Congress, how ever large it may be, on questions of deep interest and high national import, they openly avow sentiments, at war with the the fundamental principles of the Union.

 According to the views eff these men, if the minority cannot rule they are at libcr- ty to dissolve the government. The pro- mitigation of these principles forms but part of the business of those political em- pirics. Laying aside the courtesies of life, they strike at the sensibilities and honor of those who constitute the majority on the subject of protecting tariff, no matter to which side they may belong, according to recent diviSione nf ,,or%u TTLo ,,,x.;.,<,a . 4
