_FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 5, 1830.
MR. WEBSTER’S SPEECH
In presenting the reader with the conclusion of this
notorious and masterly Speech, we bog leave to call
his critical attention to the Constitutional views
which it discloses, and which have been so much 1
misunderstood and misrepresented—iirst by Duifi
Green, and in the sequel, by all who shape their;
course by that Beacon light, the Telegraph. Pending
the delivery of Mr. Webster’s speech, Green asserted
in the Telegraph, that Mr. Webster declared “the
Federal Government to bo possessed of controling
power over the States and the People.”* It was in
vain that Mr. Webster complained of this misrepre
sentation of his sentiments, and that the concurrent
sense of those who heard him, acknowledged the
jastice of the complaint. Green rc-aflirmcd his
statement the next morning, and has persisted in it
to this day. Lot the reader who is capable of form
ing his own judgment, compare that assertion of
Green’s, with the following sentences from Mr.
.Webster’s speech:
The inherent right in the people to reform their government,
I tto not deny; and they have another right, and that is, to
resist unconstitutional laws, without overturning the govern
ineni. It is no doctrine of mine, that unconstitutional laws
b:nd the people. I he great question is, whose prerogative is it
to decide on the constitutionality, or unconstitutionally, of the
laws? On that the main debate hinges.
Tbe States are unquestionably sovereign, so far as their sove
reignty is not affected by this supreme law.
******
So far as the people have restrained State sovereignty, by
the expression of their will, in the Constitution of the U. States
so far, it must be admitted, State sovereignty is effectually con
trolled 1 do not contend, that it is, or ought to be, controlled
farther. The sentiment to which 1 have referred, propounds
Uiat State sovereignty is only to be control led by its own “feel
ing of justice;” that is to sny, it is not to be controlled at all:
Ibr one who is to follow his own feelings is under no legal con
trol. Now, however men may think litis ought to be, die fact
13, that the people of the U. Stiles have chosen to impose con
trol on State sovereignties. The Constitution has ordered
the matter differently from what this opinion announces.
1° make war, for instance, is an exercise of sovereignty
but the Constitution declares that no State shall make war.—
'lo coin money is another exercise of sovereign power; hut no
State is at liberty to coin money. Again, the Constitution
says, that no sovereign State shall he so sovereign as to make a
treaty. These prohibitions, it must be confessed, are a con
trol on the State sovereignty of South Carolina, as well as of
the other States, which docs not arise “from her own feelin"s
of honorable justice.” Such an opinion, therefore, is in defi
ance of the plainest provisions of the Constitution.
Light and darkness arc not more opposite, than the
sentiments put into his mouth by Green, and those
used by Mr. Webster himself. It would be a waste
of words, to dweil upon the moral abandonment
which conceived, perpetrated, and yet persists in the
misrepresentation. That in innumerable cases be
sides, haB transcended all precedent, as it is much to
be feared, it has passed all hope of reclamation.
There is a point in human degradation, as in bodily
debility, which once reached, moral recuperation is
impossible. But that correction which Gen. Green
' has refused, the Public will make for itself. It is not
impossible—nay, judging from the past, and from
some insinuations lately thrown out in the Enquirer,
it is highly probable—that an effort will be made to
persuade the Public, that the sentiments we have
quoted from Mr. Webster’s speech, were closet addi
tions, introduced for the purpose of repelling the
charges of the Telegraph. Should this uncharitable
suspicion occur to any mind, a perusal cf the speech
will destroy it, by proving that tho confession of the
sovereignty of the States, is of the very gist of Mr.
• Webster’s Constitutional argument.
The Richmond Enquirer, incapablo of magnanimity
towards a political antagonist, affects to regard Mr.
Webster’s speech as nothing extraordinary, indeed
as rather a pany effort, for such is the spirit of the
observation, that “it is at least as great in magnitude
as it is in vicrit.” The remark is witty for aught we
know, but surely not candid. “On tho whole, (saj\s
that paper.) we recommend it to Mr. Webster to go
back again to the history of our Government, to read
the Journal of the Federal Convention, the Debates
of the State Conventions, the Letters of the Federal-*
1st—and last, not least, Mr. Madison’s Virginia Re
port of’99-1800. lie will find them all in the Public
Library. If not, they ought all to be there.”
Mr. Webster ought to feel grateful fi.r this kiud
and well meant advice. Whether Mr. Webster is
right in deriving the Government of the U. States
from the People, in contradistinction to the Slates,
will best appqar from his argument upon that point, ^
from which we quote the following:
Mi is leans us to inquire into (he origin of this government, !
and the source of its power. Whose agent is ii? Is it the crca !
ture of the State Legislatures or the creaiure of the people? If
t ^Government of the United States bo the agent of the State
Governments, then they may control it, provided they can agree
in the manner of controlling it; if it is the agent of the people,
then the people alone can control it, restrain it, modify or re
form it. It is observable enough, that the doctrine for which
the honorable gentleman contends, leads him to the necessity of
maintaining, not only that this General Government is the j
creature of the Slates, but that it is the creature of each of the
Slates severally: So that each may assert the power, for itself,!
of determining whether it acts within the limits of its authority, j
It is the servant of four and twenty masters, of different wills ;
and different purposes; and yet bound to obey all. This ab- '
•surdity, (for it seems no IcSs) arises from a misconception as to
the origin of this Government and its true character It is sir, ;
the people’s Constitution, the people’s Government; made for !
the people; made by the people; and answerable to the people, j
The people of the United States have declared that this Con
stitution shall be the supreme law. We must either then ad-!
mil the proposition, or dispute their authority.
In those opinions, the’Enquircr discovers high Trea
son towards the doctrine of’1)3: After accusing Mr.
Webster of ambiguity in the quotation wc have made,
it proceed* to comment upon it, in its usual Socratic
style. “The People (if soys). What People? The
People of the U. Slates? Mr. W. will not ha7ard
such an assertion, unless he means to fly in the face
of all the facts of the origin, adoption, and action
of the Constitution—as well as the theory laid down
in debates of the State Conventions, the letters of the
Federalist, & the reporlof Mr. M. Who formed the
Federal Constitution? Deputies from the nation? or
from the States as States elected by their Legisla
tures? Certainly the last. Who adopted it? The
people of the States appearing in their State Con
ventions; the smaller Slate havingnn equal vote with
■&o larger. Who eject* the Uraccli of tbo Federal
1 Legislature of which Mr W. is. himself q member?
hack State Legislature. In fact is this government,
a national, consolidated government, or a Federal
Government?” &c. &c. &c.
We have quoted enough from the Enquirer to ex
plain what it is at. Tho Editors of that paper
will be surprised to learn, that between Mr. Web
ster and themselves, there is not upon this question
»f 'lie origin or powers of the Government, the
slightest imaginable difference of opinion. The
whole dispute is one of words, not things. IIo af
firms the Government of tho U* States, to bo the
People’s Government, “made by the People; made
! ior the People; answerable to the People.” And is it
not so? Ah! but (says the Enquirer) the people in
originating, and adopting the Constitution, acted by
and through the State Legislatures, and not in ano
ther way—as the members of single, separate, State
sovereignties, and not as the people of the U. States
amalgamated into one. True they did so. History
I vouches for it, and Mr. Webster was not simple or
. ignorant enough to deny it The inference from this
and other facts, drawn by the Enquirer, is that the
1* ederal Government is a Government of Independent
Sovereign States, and not a consolidated govern
ment. This too Mr. Webster acknowledges. Ile
•agrees that the Federal Government is limited to
certain, specific, chartered powers, and beyond those
limitations, that the State Governments are sovereign
against the whole world. Whcrd then is the differ
ence between the Senator and tho Editors of the En
quirer? They agree perfectly in the origin of the
General Government—that it was derived from pop
ular will, expressed and acting, not through the whole
people of the U. States as one people, but through
the people of the several States, as independent and i
distinct sovereignties. They agree also in their views
of the State and Federal Governments—that the lat
ter is limited, but sovereign within those limits (i.s
laws being declared the paramount law of the land,
by the Constitution) and that tho State Governments |
are sovereign, wherever sovereignty is not convey-!
cd to the Federal Government. There is however,;
somewhere or somehow, a mighty difference between!
Mr. Webster and Mr. Ritchie. What is it? It is ‘
this, reader—and hold the idea by the tail, if yon can.!
Mr. Webster says the Federal Government is an-!
swerable to the People of tho U. States_Mr.
Ritchie says it is answerable to the States, that
is to the People of tho several States through
the State Governments! One would suppose
that the people of the- U. Stales, and the. pee
ple inhabiting the several States called the U. States,
were one and the same people; yet Mr. Ritchie
makes them out two very diflbrent things. We do not
understand Mr. Webster any where, or at any time,
as denying, that the people may act upon the Fed
eral Government, through their State* authorities.
That inference is violently and unfairly ascribed to
ftuu. Lach State may controul its Senators, and a
sufficient number of States concurring-, may thus
controul the Federal Government. lie does not de
ny the right of the States to instruct, or the obliga
tion of the Senator instructed, to obey. He contends,
or he may consistently contend, that this is one ex
ample of the truth of his position, that the Federal
Government is “auswerable to the people.” The
State Legislatures speaking the wishes of the people
(for it is that which gives virtue to their instructions )
instruct their Senators. The Senators obey, and
thus the people by another name, controul the Gov
ernment. Doing it through the Slate Legislatures,
is the mods, it is not the thing itself. It is the people
and the people only, at last—and if we imagine a
case, in which a State Legislature attempts to con-;
troul the General Government, clearly, acknowledg- !
!y, in opposition to the wishes of the people of the j
State, every man secs and feels at once, that it is the
people and not the Legislature, to whom obedience
and the right of controuling the Government, belong.\
Even here then, we see no substantial difference I
between the Orator and the Editor—except this, that ‘
one deals in plain common sense, which every man i
can understand—the other in metaphysical abstrac- j
lions, which if ho is fortunate enough to comprehend!
himself, bo yet can never make the people comprc-!
bend.
Mr. Webster's speech vindicates his title to le con-!
siderrd an advocate of Stale Rights, familiarly so
called,in the fullest manner. Ue contends for their'
sovereignty, in all cases, where they have not dives
ted themselves ert it, by cession to the General Gov
ernment. I Io contends that the Federal Government
is limited, & that il that limit is overstepped, the act is
null and void. He recognizes the right of the States
to interfere by complaint, by remonstrance, by amend- j
rnent. Ue even recognizes their right to nullify an
act of the Federal Government, but he insists that |
this is a right not icilhin, but beyond, the Con- 1
stitution; that it is revolution, that ultimate rioht
whicn every people possess, to change, modify, abol
ish, destroy, at pleasure. All tins 'be recognizes,;
and how irresistibly he drives and clinches as he goes,
the reader will discover by reading his speech.
Tn what then docs Mr. Webster stop short of being
a State Right man, tinder the newest patent? Where
in is he offensive to S. Carolina, and to the newlights
in and out of Congress? In two respects. First, he
a'ledges that the Supreme Court is the arbiter between
the Constitution and the Government—Secondly, lie
denies that any one State b~.? the Constitutional
right to nullify an act of Ccngrcs3, in other words,
to disband the Union, for the cases are identical. lie
concedes them the right—but as a revolutionary, not
a constitutional right.
Let the reader attentively examine Mr. Wcb
j ster’s speech, and weigh well his argument to show
| the necessity of tho Supreme Court's being thisor
I biter. If he car. get over the case put by him, of
Lfl' Carolina and Pennsylvania—the consequences, the
j immediate, the frightful, the fatal consequences, of
] allowing to every State tho right of saying to Con
• gross, “your law is unconstitutional, and wc, the
; Legislature of S. Carolina hereby nuWfij it”—if the
j absurdity oftlio constitutional claim thus set up, docs
; not strike him with instant conviction—then we shall
bn amazed at the variance of the human understan
; <!«»£•
I W c have always belonged to the school of lirni
j ted construction—the mnst lirn.tod construction; wc
j were brought up in it; and its principles are not
1 less dear to ua, that weuc not ros av/ay with tlicmi
anti with sickly fancy, see in every Lush an officer.
Not to tho Federal Government only, but to every
Government, we would give tho minimum of power
’ vvbich » possiblo to get along with, and not a
modicum beyond. YVe. hate in fact, all governments,
which in their definition, in their names and essences
imply subjection and controul. They are a necesaa
ry evil however, and since we must have them, we
wish to infuse into them eo much stability as will
protect them against the vociferation ofthe dema
gogue, and the misguided zeal of fanatics. YY'bere
is this stability if S. Carolina can annul an act
of the whole people of the U. States? If then it ia
federalism to deny her that power—and to agree
with Virginia in 1000-10—(we request the reader to
examine Mr. Peyton’s report1) that the supreme
court is and was intended to be, the Judge between
the Government and the constitution—granting how
ever, the right to the States to interfere, by remon
strance, by appeal, by amendment, and the revolu
tionary right of separation—if this be federalism, we
, are federalists, without knowing it until this hour.
I An attempt is made to bring Air. Madison and
j his report in conflict with Mr. Webster. Our limits
| do not at this time permit it—but we now assert, and
jWill he realter prove, that Air. Madison never con
tended for the doctrines ascribed to him by implica
! tions.

Census bill was taken up, and a provision adopted
increasing the compensation of the Alarshal’s Assis

then again taken up, when Mr. Grundy having con
cluded, and Air. Knight offered a brief vindication
of Rhode Island against something which had Allen
in debate, Air. Clacton of Delaware, replied to Air. 1
Grundy, assailing tho proscriptive policy of Gen.
Jackson, which Air. Grundy had undertaken to de
fend, in a speech which is highly applauded. This1
subject is thus brought, before the Senate, and most
add greatly to the interest of the debate. It is im
possible to defend it on principle, and we marvel at
Judge Grundy’s temerity in introducing it.

practice of breeding m anJ in, as it is called, (that is
udmitted “at,® S.l,°ck,) lt ,.'3 presumed will also be*
admitted. After the most diligent inquiry and careful
investigation, I believe the most successful raisers in
irgima are persuaded that an occasional resort to the
i cr,s,nal stock of oriental horses is as necessary to
I reserve an improved breed, as it was in the first
: ««*»«* »° Pb‘ain it; and so far from the direct c^S
not producing the finest animals both for strength
speed and beauty, it ,s capable of proof, and the hi^
lory of the English race horse will demonstrate it,*
that the best racers and breeders England ever had.
were the sons and daughters, and at farthest, the
grand-sens and grand-daughters of the Arabian: amt
that they have depreciated in proportion as they u re
removed from these points. The first evidence I
would ofier in support of the assertion is, the esta
blished weights on the English course at different
from the time ot the intro^uctiuu u 1 the "'*ulev
Arabian, until the death of the Godolphin Arabian
which included a period of about fifty year*!. They
w-ere breeding extensively from orieuta'l horses, in
cluding Barbs and Turks. During that entire period,
their horses continued to improve in speed and bot
tom, while the weights were greatly increased; aged
horses then carried 168 pounds, and with that they
ran four miles, from seven minutes twenty seconds, to 1
i seven minutes fifty seconds; from that time, ssv from
irro to 1773 to the days of Eclipse, they discontinued
the breeding from the Arabiaiwaml their weights have
been gradually decreasing; W some tracks to 113
pounds; and on none, I believe, are they higher than
loo pounds; yet there is not now in England or Ame
rica a racer that can run the distance in the sau.e time
in winch it was formerly done with their heavy weights*!
1 he next evidence is, the horses themselves. Darley *
Arabian got 1 lying Childers, who is said to have run
four miles in six minutes anJ forty seconds. Flying
Childers got many fine racers; but none that equalled
himself. Godolphin Arabian got the dam of Eclipse,
but Eclipse never got his own equal, though he got I
many fine racers—viz: Kegulus, Volunteer, &c. Ke-!
gulus got many champions of the turf, but neither him
nOr his progeny produced another Itegulus. Vcrtum
nus got liyonet, but Baronet never gut a horse as
successful on the turf as Himself or sire. Volunteer
got Spread Eagle, Sterling, fee.; but Sterling and
Spread Eagle never got their own equal, much less !
me equal of \ oluntecr. Janus and Fearnought were
got by Godolphin Arabian; during the days of those
horses, Virginia was famed for fine saddle horses, as
well as distinguished racers; now, it is almost prover
bial, that the blood horse of Virginia rarely produces a
fine saddle horse: nor have we, 1 believe, a single turi
horse capable of running four miles with 1GS pounds
(the former weights) in good lime.--Our best racers
are made by young horses carrying light weights; and
it is a fact, and one which is well worthy the conside
ration of raisers, that with the present light weights
many of our first horses break down in training, and
very few remain longer than two years on the turf.
1 heir bone, sinew, and muscle are not in proportion
to their size and weight—and their legs often give
way in training exercise. It is believed there is not
now in the United States a single high-blooded horse
that has not descended from the same stock, viz: the
Godolphin Arabian, and, generally speaking, both hv
dam and sire. Cin a strong, active, healthy and vigor
ous horse be reasonably expected by propagating
from such near connexions? Every farmer knows the
eU'ect of crossing in. and in has on cattle, sheep, &.c
but we seem not to have anticipated the consequence
to the most noble and useful of animals* by the viola
tion of the law of nature, which forbids incestuous
connexions; but it carries with it its own corrective
in the glow but certain destruction of the species; such
being the consequence of our system, it w ould seem
strange that we continue to pursue it,—many attempts
have been made to alter it,—many fine horses have
been imported from England, but they have furnished
no remedy for the evil—the English and American
race hqrse being of the same stock. The difficultv
Jtnd enormous expense of obtaining the true-blooded
Arabian, has prevented the importation of many of
them into this country. It is affirmed by writers and
travellers, that ttiose of the sacred blood, (as they are
there called,) are valued from 500 to 3000 pounds ster-1
ling—they arc considered a consecrated breed, de-:
signed for the use of the Prophet and his descendants;!
and a great prejudice exists to.selling them at all!
Taplin, in his Sporting Dictionary published in IS03,
vol. I, page 17, remarks—“that they are mostly con
signed as presents to his Majesty or some of the Royal
Family, and their pedigree of their blood is recorded
with as much care and tenacity, as the genealogy of
the most Ancient English Nobility.” Eut, it car.not
be necessary to eulogize this matchless .breed of hor
ses, to recommend them to the American sportsman;
he must know, that it was by crossing on this stock’
that the sluggish aild cold-blooded horse of England
was converted into the beautiful and high-mettled
coursen It is only necessary to satisfy him that the
WINTER ARABIAN is one of true stock—so many
attempts have been made to impose on public creduli
ty by palming on them spurious horses for the Ara
bian, that the evidence of. the true stock should be
satisfactory and conclusive. The Winter Arabian was
captured during the late war in 1814, then one year
old, by the privateer Grampus of Baltimore, on board
the brig Doris, his Britannic Majesty’s Transport No.
650, on her passage from Senegal in Africa, to Ports
mouth in England: and was intended as a present for
the then Prince Regent, n»w King of England. (Ste
A iles’ IVnkbj /Register, vnl. vii page 16 )
\Vinter Arabian was 3old as a part of the cargo of the j
captured brig, and was purchased by Elisha J. Winter, |
Esq. then a member of Congress from the State of!
New York; after the purchase, he, through a highly I
respectable mercantile house in New York, caused an i
inquiry to be made of Colonel Broomfield and Mr. i
Douglas, the superintendants of His Mnjesty’s stud at
Hampton Court, by whom he was informed, that a full
blooded Arabian was shipped in the brig Doris, from
Senegal, for his Majesty, und there was no doubt of
hi* being of the best Arabian stock.—This correspon
dence, with Mr. Winter’s certificate, that be is the
same horse, with many other evidences, are in my
possession, and will he exhibited to any gentleman
who wishes to raise from him. All those who have
seen him, admire his superiority of form, beauty and
flinty hardness of limbs; his tine, silky, flowing mane t
and tail; elastic and sprightly movements; great sh^rc
! of bone and muscle; indeed the only objection to him,
or which can be taken to him, is his size,—being about
1 four feet nine or ten inches high: this, if it be an ob
jection, applies to the whole race: and, had England
j permitted this prejudice to influence her, she coidd
not have had her Clnlders, or her Eclipse, her Rrgti
lus, or her King Fergus, her Dionicd. or Baronet, nor
could America have had her Archy, her Ariel, her
Henry, or Long Island her Eclipse: these are all the '
