Extract from Gen. r. M. Saunders Adj


dress to the people of North Carolina:
+ Iprefer Mr.. Calhoun, because in his ad-
ministration of the government, as be-


lieve, he would maintain the principle of
the constitution, and carry out in good
faith practical system of retrenchment
and reform-that he would say to the thou-
sands who live and hang on the Govern
ment, like so many hnrpies, not that such
and such abuses must be corrected, but
that they should be. For / hazzlrd moth
ing in saying, if the people expect the fed
eral expenses to be lessened-the high
tariff of taxes to 60 down-the national
debt to be paid of--and economy TO pre-
vailin every department, they mist have
an executive. not pledged to restore but to
abolish al useless officers, and to stop eve.
riy inducement 10 lavish expenditures
For il is a singular. fact in the history Of
our National Legislature, that those who
come from the States where the lowest sal
aries are paid, and the most rigid economy
lpractised are ge neraIly the most extray-
agant in their votes for high salaries and
expenditure. And tell you, whatever
you may hear from the political partisan,


whether he be Wing or Democrat-the
advocate Of tariff, whether it be direct or


incidental protection, will generally be


found supporting the highest appropria-


lions. Your motto should be, I" "millions


for revenue, not dollar for spoil or pro-


lection, unless il be an incident to what is


necessary to the administration of the
I Government" ! speak boldly. and say,
Of the past, the present and future-it is
, idle to talk Of bringing back the govern
= ment to what it was In the days Of Jeffer-
son and Madison, nnless there shall be an
efficient Executive. 60 further--you
: c,n hardly expect reforming executive
, from that portion OF the country which fat
! tens on the government three fourths Of
; whose expenditures 60 annually to the
} North. 1t is true, there are those in our
I political party from the northern States
who are as sound, snd vote as correctly in
regard to appropriations, as any portion OF
, the Union. They stand upon their princi-
Piles, and deserve the highest praise for
r their firmness. But still the remark is no
less true, ifreform is to come at all, must
come from the tax paying, non receiving
!, portion ofihe community. For such is the
pressure Of these moneyed appropriations,


that it is only from those who feel that


taxation is burden and not blessing,


that you can hope for an honest economy


and stern responsibility 10 the admins


tration of the General Government.


But Mr.. Calhoun has been a nuli6er,


and is not to be trusted. To this objection

fer. BIT Mr.. Brown voted aga.ust the


Force hill, Gen. Jackson's most effective


measure against notification. approved


of that vote, and only advert to il herein,


to show the incincerity Of those who think


proper TO charge me with nuliiication.-


If the General Government moves in it's


restricted orbit, what will there be to nulli-
fy? And how can any occasion arise


wherein the mere abstract opinions Of the
lCHlel magistrate ou tutS punt nave any


practical fearing? The truth is, if we are


to have an administration truly democratic,


and if our federal Legislation shall be kept,
within the plain meaning Of the constitu.


ton, and no doubtful powers shall be exer-


cised, there can be neither cause or pre-


text for State interposition. There can


be no foundation for any fears, real or im-


aginary, unless tits designed and expected


that the Government is to be administered


on federal principles. This suppose


those who seek to raise the host of Iulifi-
cation to answer their own selfish ends,


will hardly be willing TO acknowledge


II is absurd to talk about the President of
the United States being nullifer, the

But there is little danger of the revival of
notification, unless the cause which gave il


birth shall be renewed of which its oppo-
nents say there is no design. Then why
talk about it?
