SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION.
TkeNullification Convention of South-Caro-
has assembled at Columbia on the 11th inst.
'I‘he following is the address of the President,-
Ex-Govemor Hamilton: ‘

Gentlemen—-In exercising the power of calling
you together‘, which you were pleased to place in
my hands at your adjournment, I have both re-
gretted and’ been sensible of the inconvenience
to which I must. have subjected many of you in
being compelled to leave your homes at a season
so essential to the success of the agricultural la-
bors of the whole year. It must however be
nranifest to you from the nature of the proceed-
ings of this body at its former meeting, that its
re-assembling afier the adjournment of Congress,
was an event of highly probable occurrence.
Before, however, this ncccs-ity was dernoiistrat-
cd, I was oflicially apprised by the Governor of
South- Carolina, on t.he 5th of February, of the
arrival ofa corninissioner on the part of the State
of Virginia, bearing certain resolutions adopted
by the General Assembly of that State, respect-
fully soliciting of this State a suspension or re-
scinding of the ordinance of her convention until
the arljournment of the next session of Congress.
These resolutions were accompanied by an ap-
plication on the part of the geiitleiiiari in this
commission, that this convention should he’ cori-
vened at an early moment. The high source
from which this mediation emanated, the friendly
dispositions by which it was obviously dictated,
borne too, and advocated by a gcritlerrutii so long
and advantageously known as among the most
able and devoted champions of the rights of the
States, left me by what I was quite sure would
be vour own dccisiuri, no other alterrizitire (it
myiown inclinations had been wanting) than a
compliance with the wishes of that distinguislictl
Commonwealth, as communicated by her worthy
Representative. As I was however perfectly sai-
tisfied that no decision on the propositions of
which he was the bearer, could be nizrde prior to
the adjournment of Congress, the period of your
assembling has been arranged to meet hntli cori-
tingencics. _.

You have thus assembled, gentlemen, and the
proposed mediation of Virginia is rrict concur
rently by the. passage of an act by the Coiig-re-ss
of the United States, modifying the Tariff of
the 14th of July last, and by air act eii‘.itlcd “an
act more effectually to provide for the execution
of the Revenue Laws."

In bringing both these laws to your view, and
invoking your mature considera‘ion or‘ their pro-
visions and objects, it would not become the to
make any suggestions as to the course it believes
you to pursue in reference to Lliesc measures. It
the first is not in all respects satisfactory, ttS'COm-
ing up to that measure of justice, to which the
south bad a fair claim; and is liable to some ini-
portaut objections, it_ nevertlreless, provides for
the commencement of an early, though gradual
amelioration of that system, against which we
have so long complained, and for an ulterior rc-
cognition of the constitutional })1‘ltlClpl€S upon
which our rights are assumed to rest. In forni-
iug your estimate, however, of whatever rnity be
its intrinsic value, you will not be inscnsiblc to
tire fact, that it is a compromise of extrenic,
vexatious and conflictirig interests made in the
spirit of peace, as an offering to the concord and
tranquility of our common country. In such
a spirit our Representatives in Congress voted
for it, and in such a spirit must we c insitlor it,
whatever may be our final decision on t.lrc mea-
sure. This adjustmeiit, however, coriies to us
at least with this cornpensation for the justice
which it yet with"iolds—-that all th'rt has been
beneficially aceornplisticd by it for the country, is
to be attributed to the action of this Convention,
and the energy, decision, and love of liberty, of
that people by whom our proceedings have been
sustained. We may surely say this without an
unworthy vaunting, when the most able of otrr
opponents, has borne testimony to the truth of
this fact. , _

It is greatly to be regretted, with a single view
to the harmony and repose of the country, that
this adjustment should be accompanied by the
other measure to which I have invited your at-
tention.

If we could regard the act, which provides by
its title, “for a uiore cfrectual execution of the
revenue laws, but which, in fae', provides for the
coercion of a Sovereign State in this Union, as
an enipiy defiance got up as a mere salvo for the
wounded pride, or to gratify a worse passion of
the Executive, we might perniitit silently to pass
by, with that reprobatiou with which, not poste-
rity alone, but at an early moment, a contempo-
rary age will visit it, standing iriipotently, as it
will stand, a dead letter on our Statute Book;
but as a mere precedent engrafted on our laws.
it is of the most serious and porleritcus import,
furnishing asiz does, the most unequivocal evi-
dence, that as far as the authority of law cx'e_nrls
(independently, thanks be to God, of_ l)lIC‘Spll‘|l of
a free people) by a single act of legislation, the
character of our government is changed, and a
military despotism placed at the disposal of the
Executive, when he shall determine in his own
discretion thata fit exigeucy has ariseu for its
exercise. The broad usurpation in this law of
the right on the part of Congress to coerce a
Sovereign State in this Union, when the pom.-yr
was solemnly withheld by the Convention that
formed the Constitution, the utter anniliil.-rtiori of
our judiciary in cases clearly within their e.\'cl_u.
3 re jurisdiction, and the st1‘l more r'evol'.rn_g cir-
cumstance that in obeying the laws of their own
State, and executing the mandates of their own
Courts, the lives of their citizens are placed. at
the mercy of the standing forces of the Union,
all concur to present an epoch in the public li-
berty of the country, which ought not to be al-
lowed to pass without your animadversion. -And
you will permit me further to remark, whether
the adjustment of the Tariffbc deemed satisfac-
tory or not, that much remains for you to do, in
making of constitutional record in an eriduriiig
firm those great conservative principles, which
have borne‘ us yet through this contest, to say no-
thing of the necessity 0;‘ providing those securi-
ties which may in all future time, command feal-
ty and obedience of those who receive the pro-
tretion of our laws.

You will now, I trust, allow me to refer _to a
matter which is personal to myself. The distin-
grushed statioul no.v occupy. I owe to the acci-
voutal circumstance of my having been the
(,‘,.ief Magistrate of this State, when the Coir-
vcntiou first assembled.

Another individual now on this floor fills that

ost. I feel that I am not alone paying it proper
deference to an established and valriablc prccc:
,jc,,;, bur 3 just homage to superior persoiizrl
«_.laiins and more eminent qualifrcatrorisi_ When 1
signify in the presence of this .COnVClll.l0ll, that
it is my purpose, after the reading of the corres-
pu-ndence I now coinnrunicate, between the Loni-
iiiii-sioiicrfrom Virginia and the public authorities
if this State, to resign this seat. _

In making this declaration, permitt me to so-
pcradd to it my unfergned acknowlcogcuiarits tor
your past kindness lilld'COII_fl(.lCllcP, and my fer-
\ ._~nt prayer that the God of all mercy and truth
may soorder and govern our proceedings. that
ini-y may redound to the liberty, Pf-‘at-‘ea and but-'
princess of our country. _ _ _

General Hamilton accordingly resigned his
iflice of President of the Corrventioir, and his
]-jxceflency R. Y. Ilayne, Governor on the State,
\- an elected in his stead. A _

, SUIVIMARY.

Supposed loss of the IvIel_,laspont.---Great
anxiety was created here a day or two since
by the announcement that the wliailirig ship
Martha, arrived at New York, from the
South Atlantic Ocean, reported that on the
10th of February in lat. 5, 4, S., long. 21,
I5;-, W’. saw the bodies of fourlcen (lead
persons .’ A ladder was picked up and a
piece ofwood, having written on it in ink
the name of “M. H. Taylor,” mate of ship
11 , tlic reruaii'iirig letters of the ship’s
name not being legible. ---l"rom the fact that
IV. H. Taylor was aniorig the crew of ship
Hcllcspont, Capt Henry, of this port, which
sailed hence Dec. 27th, 1832, with a valua-
ble eargo for the Sandwich Islands, having
on board several passcrigcrs,it was supposed
the wreck discovered was of that vesscl.---
Btit circuiiistaiiccs since tend to disprove
that it was any vessel l.iclorigir'rg to this
port. It is stated in the N. York Coiiirncr-
eizrl Advertiser that Capt. Young, of the
llltirtlin, is of opinion that the wreck was 21

Jlirslmir./ioly S1u'cirlc.—\Ve regret exceed-
ingly that our dut.y requires tlS to state the
death ofCiiptairr J“. B:rttles,oftliis town, by
suicide. C-apt. B. rosc yesterday morning
at his usual hour, and proceeded to make a
tire in his grate, from which he had taken
the ciiidcr.‘-7. Sliortly after this he was dis-
covered suspended in the shed over the coal
bin by oirc of his children, who gave the a-
larm, and the body was iniincdiaitely cut
down by one ofliis apprentices, but life was
i.-..\'tii.ct. A coroner's inquest was held, and
the evidence elicited was such as to nizilrc
it it clear case of szu'(:i(lc b_1/rc(1.s'mi.o ' in.smri-
l_i/. There was a bruise on his face which
hurl bled considerably, as the rope
and the nail to which it was fastened,
were bloody, und also the axe with which
he cut offtlie cord, and there were drops of
blood aboutthe shed and yard. Capt. B.
was inzister carpenter of the dry dock estab-
lishincut in the navy y-.iri‘l, and was at rri.1u
of excellent habits and strictiritegrity, and
very highly respected in the coiriniiirrity.—
It is stated tliutin his family there is aton-
dency to iiisniiity, which together with some
unpleaszint occurrences of u trifling pecuni-
ary clra1'uctcr, and a severe cold, had carts-
cd _evidciit: symptoiiis of cstruiigcrncrrt for

At liztlfpast ten o’clock this morning, the
grand jury entered the court-rooin, and an-
nounced that they had found 21 trric bill
of iiidictineut agttiiist the Rev. Epliraiin
K. Avery, for the murder of Sarali l\lzii'ia
Cornell. The court ordered that the accus-
ed be fort.liwitli Ztl'l‘tll,g'llC(l, and shortly after‘-
wartls he was brought in by the Shcriff,aiid
ziccorriniodritetl with :1 chair beside Mr.Ran-
dolpli, his counsel. The prisoner is it man
of very respectable zippcrirance, about five
feet eleven inches in height, and tliirty-six
or seven years of age.

Froiii liis wearing spectacles of :1 purple
litre, the (.'.lltll‘t'.clC6l‘ and expressierr of his
eyes were concealed from persons sitting
opposite to him, but to us, more favorably
seated for observing them, they ztppcarctl
sirigiilarly inexpressive both of feeling and
of tlrouglit.—-Ills lie-ad and features alto-

equally conspicuous on the crnriiuin of
I-Inward the philaiitlrropist. The indict-
incnt contained three counts : Ist.—Cliok-
iug and strangling. fltl.-——Str‘ziiigli:ig and
luiriging. 3d.——l:lenting and choking; the
last criiliraced t.lic bruises and abrasions of
skin discovered about the back and abdo-
men of the uiiforturiute young woman. The
clerk of the court read the iiidictirieiit with
8. degree of feeling wliicli almost amounted
to cnibarrassriient; and there was not, per-
haps, more than one countciiaiice uniong
the audience which was not bluuclrctl by its
shocking and rccapitiilutctl tlctnils. But
the prisoner attentively listened to every
horrid particular with a self possession so
coiisiiiriirizite and iriipcrturublc that it zip-
peared to its little less than a moral pheno-
irierioii, in :1 niun sittinterl as he was, wlie-
ther lic bc innocent or guilty of the dread-
ful crime Wl1lt.‘.ll he stood accused of.
Tlreliand which he held tip during the
whole time occupied in reading the indict-
ment, trciiiblctl not, nor was the ctirvc of a
linger, or a line of his face discomposcd ;
even his eye exlribitcd nothing btrt cnlni at-
teritiou to the lurigruige of his ztccirszrtiou.
At length, howcvcr, large drops of perspi-
ration appeared on his trppcr lip; btrt this
was all: they were occasioiiully and slow-
l_v wiped oil", with it hand as uritrcuiiilous as
the other. To the usual question of guilty
or iriiinccirt, he replied, “not guilty, sir,”
with ti slight degree of empliusis.

is generally c.\'pcctcd the trial will take
‘place at a special session, inirncdiutcly after

Extraordinary C'Zrcm_nstance.--The.Chol-
era (a correspondent writes ) has raged ve-
ry alarmingly at ‘Marlow, so much that
from 12 to I5 burials have taken place of a
day. Among others, a poor man, who left
his wife early in the morning well,was much
surprised, on his return borne, on being in-
foruicd that during his absence she had died
of the cholera and was burietl.—I‘eeliiig
disconsolate arzd dissatisfied, he hetook him-
self to the grave and dug tip the corpse.~
On lifting olfthe lid.of the coflin, he was
struck with the appearance of his wife, and
tliouglit be perceived symtoms of life, which
soon became realized, as, after :1 while, the
poor woman rose up, and, to the great joy
of her husband, accompanied him home,
and wonderful to relate, and that night he-
came a mother, who with the child, are
at this moment regarded by the inhabitants
ofMarlow as the greatest curiosities.

The Georgia Journal hails the passage
of Mr. Cluy’s bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives thus :—“ Good News l——Grcat
News l---Peace to the Cotintry l--—and
with Death to Protection.” And it concludes
an article on the subject with the following
paragraph ;---“\Ve hail this olive branch
witliout enquiring whence or how it comes:
whether from the high regions of a pure
patriotism, or from the mire of intrigue.
\Vhcther it is a holy offeriiig on the altar of
Union, or merely ti trurup trrrned critically,
no matter; it is an event that brings peace;
we welcome it as such, with all oirr hearts.”
This is as it should be. The Union of the

Important Legal Dccisimz.-—Tlie County

stippress Pedlars, Hawkers, and petty Chap-
men,” and rcridering all foreign goods car-
ried about and ofi'ered' for sale, liable to
sci’/.ui'c, is u penal statute, and as such,
ought to be construed strictly, and that the
proof ouglit to be such as to convince the
mind beyond a reasonable doubt, that the
goods oll'cretl, are of foreign manufacture,
and not the.production of this, or any other
of the United States. The great difliculty
of distinguisliing between foreign and do-
mestic manufzicttires, it would seem would
render the Act inoperative and nugatory.—

THE KING’S SPEECH.

This being the day appointed for the delivery
ofthe King’s Speech, his Majesty arrived at the
I-Iouse.ofLor,ds shortly before two o’clock, and
on aligliting from his [carriage was received by
the Cabinet Ministers and great oflicers of State.

His Majesty immediately proceeded to the
robing room, and from thence to the interior. of
the House} of Lords. On his Majesty taking
his seat on the Throne the Usher of the Black
Rod summoned the House of Commons to hear
the Royal Speech. Shortly afterwards the speak-
er, attended by a great number of members, ap-
peared at the Bar, when his Majesty delivered
the following most gracious speech :-

“Jlfy Lords and Gentlemen,

“The period being new arrived at which the
business of Parliament is usually resumed, I have
called you together for the discharge of the im-
portant duties with which you are intrusted.
Not at any time did subjects ofgreater interest
and multitude call for your attention-

“I have still lament the continuance of the el-
vil war in Portugal, which for some months ex-
isted between the Princes of the House of Bra-
ganza. From the commencement of .this con-
test; I have abstained from all interference, ex-
cept such as required for the protection of British
subjects resident in Portugal; but you may be
assured that I shall not fail to avail myself of an
opportunity that may be afforded me to assist_in
restoring peace to a country with which the In-
teiest of my domiuions are so imitately connec-
ted.

“I have also to regret that my earnest endeav-
ors to effect a definitive arrangement between
Holland and Belgium, have hitherto been unsup-
cessful. I found myself at lennth compelled, in
conjunction with the King of the French, to take
measures for the execution of the Treaty of the
t5tli of November 1831. The capture of the
citadel of Antwerp has in part acomplished that
object, but the Dutch Government still refusing
to evacuate the rest oftbe-territories assigned to
Belgium bytliat Treqty, the Egmbargo wlgclj I had

 

directed to be imposed on the Dutch commerce
has been continued. N egociations are again
commenced and you may rely on their being con-
ducted on my part, as they have uniformly been,
with the single view of ensuring to Holland and
Belgium :1 separate existance, on principles of
mutual security and independence. ~

The good faith and honor with which the
French Government has acted in these transac-
tions, and the assurances which I continue to re-
ceivefrom the Chief Powers of Europe of their
friendly disposition, give me confidence in the
success of my endeavors to preserve the general
peace. I have given directions that the various
papers which are necessary for your information
on the affairs ofHolland and Belgium should be
laid before you.

“The approaching termination oftbe charters
of the Bank ofEngland and of the East India
company will requirea. revision of these estab-
lisbincnts, andl rely on your wisdom for making
such provisions for the important interests con-
nected with them, as may appear from experi-
erice, and full consideration, to be best calculated
to secure public credit, to improve and extend
our commerce, and to promote the general pros-
perity and pciwer of the ‘British Empire.

“Your attention will also be directed to the
state of the Church, more particularly as regards
its temporalitics and the maintenance of the
Clergy. The Tithes appear to require a change
of system, which without diminishing the means
ofmaintainingthe Established Clergy in respec-
tability and usefulness, my prevent the collision
ofimerests, and the consequent derangement and
dissatisfaction which have too frequently prevail-
ed between the Ministers of the Church and their
Pa.ishioners. It may also benccessary for you
to consider what remedies may be applied for the
correction ofacknowledged abuses, and whether
the Reverities of the Church may not admit of a
more equitable and judicious distribution.

“In your deliberations on these important sub
jects, it cannot be necessary for me to impress

upon you the duty of carfully attending to the ’

security of the Church Established by Law in
these realms, and to the true iritersts of religion.

“In relation toIreland,wrth a view ofremoving
the causes of complaint which have been so gene-
rally felt, and which had been attended with such
unfortunate consequences, an act was passed
during the last session of Parliament forTitlies.—
To complete that salutary work, I recommend
to you, in conjunction with such other amend-
ments oftbe law as may be found applicable to
that part ofrny dorriinioris, the adoption ofa meas-
ure by which, upon the principle of a just corn.
mutation. the posessors nf land may be enabled
to free themselves from the burtheri of annual
payment.

“To the further reforms that, may be neces-
sary, you will probably find that, although the
Established Church oflrelarid is by law perma-
nently united with that of England, the pecu-
liarities of their respective circumstances will
require a separate consideration. There are
other subjects hardly less important to the gen-
eral peace and welfare oflreland, affecting the
administration ofjustice, and the local taxation
of the country, to which your attention will also
be required.

“ Gentlemen rftlre House of Cmmons,

“I have directed the estimates for the service
oftbe year to be laid before you. They will be
framed with the most. anxious attention to all
useful economy. Notwithstanding the large re.
tluctiori in the estimates of the last year, I am
happy to inform you that all the 0Xf.l'80l'Lllll£t.l‘y
services which the exigencies of the times rc-
qiiired, have been amply provided for. The
state of the revenues compared with the public
expenditure, has hitherto fully realised the ex-
pectations that were formed at the close of the
last session.

“JIIJ Lords and Gentlemen,

‘‘In this part of the kingom, with very few
excep-tions,the public peace has been preserved;
and it will be your anxious but greatfnl duty to
promote by all practicable means, habits ofindus-
try and good order amongst the laboring classes
ofthe community.

“On my part, I shall be ready to co-operate
to the ntinost ofrny power in obviating all jUFI'.
causes of complaint, and in promoting all well
considered measures ofimprovement. But it is
my painful duty to observe that the disturbances
in Ireland to which I adverted at the close of the
last session, have greatly Increased.

“A spirit of subordination and violence has
risen to the most fearful height, rendering life
and property insecure, defying the authority of
the law, and threatening the most fatal conse-
quences, ifnot promptly and effectually repres-
sed.

“I feel confident that to your loyalty and pat-
riotism, I shall not resort in vain for assistance in
these alllicting circumstances and that you will
be ready to adopt such measures ofsalutary pre-
caution. and to entrust to me such additional
powers 85 may be found necessary for controling
and punishing the disturbers of the public peace,
and strengtheriing the Legi.-lative Union between
the two Countries, which, with your support and
under the blessing of Divine Providencc-:,I am
determined to maintain by all the means in my
power, as indissolubly connected with the peace,
security. and welfare of my dominions.

 
 

A Jolcc.—For several days past, conspicu-
ous liandbills were observed on almost eve-
ry corner of the street, calling public atten-
tion to a wonderful exhibition of vcntriIo-
quism, grand and lofty tumbling, wire dan-
cing, singing, fortune telling, and various

other performances well calculated to at- "

tract the multitude, all which were to be
performed at Tammany Hall, on Tuesday
evening, by Mr. Vasier. The time for ex-
hibition, as announced 01] the bills, bad ar-
rived, a motly group had assembled, and all

were looking with eagerness for the curtain" ,

to rise. An_ hour had elapsed, since the

spectators assembled, when it was discover- '

ing with him a sum of money borrowed of

the landlord and leaving him to pacify, as -

well -as he could, the disappointed and en-
raged audience, Vasier securing to himself
