It may be that these hut dred ad twenty-fiv'e gentlemen hav4 mad about enongh converis. to servo a an evk M ir own voice, but that he great bod r people have considered this subject not believe. It is a subject eminenttil vidng and distasteful, except to mimdi r ar with financial details. admit thal a i g our politicians there is a vast ma ,o in favor of the Sub-Treasury; am th ;strenuous ellorts are naking to forn a-consolidaie a party on this question. i further admit that it may be abou aw uveniut a one for proscription as cat be esigned. Nor do I preteud to say tha a ority of the people mnay not, by tIh of party discipline, "with proper ap. ph ces to boot." he brought to sustain thei rin sure, extraordinary as it maty seem. A fewilap, trap~s tand cant phrases wvill ofteti accompiish what the prolundest philoso phy./eaunot effect. "The emancipation ol the *South from tho commercial thraldom of tie North,'- and "a direct trade with Eu. rope'," from the flexible lips of a cunning demafgogue, will work wonder.; and many hondt and deluded subjects will scarceI give 4hemselves time to ask how locking nsi gold "aud silver in huge Cyclopean safes, with a correspondent issue in their stead ol irredeenable contnental paper money, cni accomplish this purpose. They will takc the Wophecy on trust until defeat has pul the humbug to light, or an explosion han brought it to the comefriable position ai whici it now rests-an Independent Trea sury perfectly bankrupt. At pr, sent tle people of Souwt Carolinm huve regarded thu Sub-Treasury scheme with about as much indill'rence as they lhavegth popular hutuugs of Animaal Ala. netisT an1 Phrenology. I ai quite sure they are equally prepared to sanction out I nstrnuciug our Senators and Represente ties t vote for the ExploPring Expedition -a mieasure of far more Innocent resposa sibilitj; which connot involve the beggary of our people and the corruption of our pub -lic servants. Thejcategory, therefore, in this resolu tion I cannot vote for without violating my own sense of veractity. Let slhe now say a nord otn the seeonul I res-lutlo, the most pregnant of all, which, by a tyipuing device, insinaates an instirne tion to the refractory mtembers ofCongresE At leasf it enunciates a featrftul admonition, ThoJesolution is in these words, "Re. foltd fat in theopinion of this Legislaturc a resol tns approving the i09 .' reasuy] is essential to the bet interest Wf the country; and that any public servant who refuses to promote the sane, pursues a course injuriou, to the welfare and pros. perity of the State." This resolution, Sir, is certaicly ver% I modest and utnpretending. The Legisid ture has a clear and inlcontestible right t express its opinion that the Sub-Treasury isa ma'sure essential to thehest interesit of the country, and that all who liffir in Opmnion *. ith tiem are- pursuing ;a course in jtuious to its wel:fare ad prosrtperity. 11111 a.e not our members of Cotueresi equal1 entitled to their opinion? And if it hall pens to be precisely the couverse of thi' dogma, may they not solace their ronscien ces with the belief that in point of fact theW .ire pursuing t course best calculated tt promote prosperity and welfare of the cottn try when they oppose the Sub-Treasury scheme? Is not this opinion precisely as iroad Ias it is lon0? And it ta n:arrowed lown at last ito, sir, your opimon. and ny opiniton, and any body's opiriont; and thle declaration sinks into a nvoutralitv about as ah.urb as it is harmless. I admit it coat tains a threat; but in this point of view it i. not so potential as to be beyond all nmati t..Ieration. A scare-crow it unquestiona. bly is, but such atn one as old Muzzleton ir the cornfield, that respectahle per,onagt who hatsstood for so mav years in tle sauc spot, bloated with his straw alnd dead feathers, whomn the very roo:s may eye with perfect safety. Sir,-those who concocted- these resol I tions are perfectly aware that South Car lina repudiates the doctrine of instrucetiti:. It has never found favor in her eye, The exltmple which has beent cited of tht inastructiotfssen'tt to our delegation to oppost the tarifl, do not.-apply. They were itn tended to strengzthen. not to weakent om~ delegation; to give titem confidente in: theil enurse;-not to violate their conasciences; hte cause they were known't to conctur wiltht unanimous opinion of nearly our whole pert ple on that topic. The efl'ort baefore us a: certatinly thte first settledl designt to instrue. and by indlirection to reach the conscieue: of a reft ahtory mtemnber. I do no; propose, sir, at this time, to dis cuss the doctrine of instruction. 1 muta htowever, assumae the privilege of sayint that according to any humballe view, the~ ex Iercise of this doctrinte involves as gross at usurpation an I faiboay in political ethics a can well.be conceived. IIn thie first place, the constatuttion give tas the right to elect, but give us no right ta depose our Senators tho very endc anti seopi of the exercise of the right of itastructiona. I f it was desigtned that we shotald exercis this formidlable power, it otught to have heei sgiven by an express grant in the conastiata - tion; otherwise t assumptJtiont must be ustur pation. IIt is a fallacy, because it proceeds like -wise oan the tiest asssump:tion that we tr. hettet informed on the -ubject on which tna kmaembier of the Nationzal Congress is to es itrrciue hi~s judgement andc conscience, tha thitmself-although specially withitn his coai Pstitutsaonal jurisdictiona and competence; an for 'the exercise of his free tand unhiasse subf@rae he is responsible - to .God and hi couintr -.This is not all. The practice itselfi ecalculat ed to work at) entire ebange in ot sytmor oenet by sbtttn Ii legislation (if our State Legislatures fo r tile Iegislatioti of Congress. Does the con stitition muiuke our mewihers (it Congress our slaves? No. The veiom of fuictioi, disgusting arrogance, and the conceit- of overweening vanity may attempt to force I thet to be so. If these objections hold in the abstract againit the right ofinstruction, witat florce do they acquire whenl applied to (lie pres et occasion and to the persons against whom the Resolutions onl your table are levelled. It is known that one of our Senators and it is believed that three of our Representa tives in Congress are opposed to the Sub Treasury Scheme It is rumored that this project is at its last grasip. and that it has been intimated that unless these mehers can be made to violate their consciences and vote for tie measure, it must peri-h; for as it is in a minority of the people ofthe Union. no hole of its pas-ace canl be enter tailed except the deed be now done, and done quickly. Lihke gooi liege subjects we are therefore quimniaonied to the sealfeld to witness the in lletton of the actual cautery or the rack, II casre of non-cmianee ou the part .f our public agents. Let te now pause to ask whether this ignoble tyranny is worthy of the ancient repute of South Caroliia! Where is the elivalry that once graced her renann? Where he magnanimity and Conifidence %% ith which she has always treated her pib lic servants?-a confidenice w hiih w.as the nurse of manly senmitient, inflexiile iude pendlecellf, and of a public virtue that scorned all temptation, save tlt induce -COI to serve her with hionestv, lideliiy and truth. Alas, they are all giving way to a spirit ot vulgar Luco Pocoismt, in the promo niou of winch ii. fir-, essential step is to violate all that belonis to the pride and honor of such servants as South Ciarolina once had. It is true, we have hind prece dents from other States ;II. ted fir tour imi tation and instruction They are no an thority, iir, in Somh Canrolina. Let those 6tates, it they will, practice their desplo tisn, liut let them keep) it to themselve. We will have none of it. At least I know I speak for those who are beyond tile reach of iy voice, who, when the temporary dhe lasions of this-question have passed. will iempt twviolaue the freedonm ofopinion and the sacred right ofconscience. I know not sir, how that portion ofour delegation, against whom it is aimed. will receive this compuisor. process. Whether they will cuonisent to surrender their judg il-ail ito saive what they believe it be a per nicious and unwise project, fron destruction. I trust they - ill let thet- vagranit die. wheth er tie expires from inanition or a violent death; whether he dies in a diteh, or gives ip the ghost secundnei arlem. alter the most approved phleotomy of ili' e doctors. I hale they % ill refuse to ser% e even tin the Coroner's nitiuest--andi suintin throug-d out wbial otit to the carriag-- of a Snith - urn ientleman, whio fears, nlext to his God a viol tion of his own honor and sense of propriey. Let ie tell them, itt a voice lotid enough, I trust, thuough the press it least. to be neard, that Jublii. confidence is lot to be pur chased in South Carolina by subserviencv. taut i-) imihependence; not by tinmidity, but ay isurlessness. Let them do what they re gard to be right. If public du11ty has any u1lier rule than this. I can only say, sir, that we have read to pirecious little purpose tl memorialm which imose who have gone he 4or- us inl the .ate have hequeathed furonr instruction. It is understood that these resolutions a.e especially levelled at one of our Senia tor,. I ou cannot miitake ile, sir, I allude to Mr. Preston.
