Because it has violated the independence guarantied to the Judiciary, by enacting that the Judges shall take a revolting test oath, or be arbitrarily removed, from office, thereby depriv ing them oflhe privilege oftrial by impeachment, which, by the Constitution of the State is intended to be secured to every civil officer. 0th. Because the Ordinance has directly violated the Constitution of the Unili d States, which gives authority to Congress to collect revenue, in forbidding the. collection of any revenue within the limits of South Carolina. 7th. Because it has violated the same 32! Constitution, in mat prov ision oi it wim n i . . .. r m -i declares that no preference shall be given to one port over any other in the United States, by enacting that goods shall be imported into the ports of South Carolina without paying any duties. 8th. Because it violates the same Constitution, and tramples upon the rights of the citizen by denying him the priviL.fri. of anneal in cases in Law and Equity arising under the Constitution and La7DS of the Union. 7th. Because it has virtually destroyed the Union, by carefully preventing the General Government from enforcing hrir laws through the civil tribunals ol the country, and then enacting that if f .til . . that Government should pursue any nihf.r mndp to enforce them, then this State shall be no longer a member of the Union.

MOSES, JAM ES EDWARD H ENNTY, Secretaries of Convention. The Proclamation. It must be consoling to the National Republican party, that even General Jackson has, when the Union wa in danger, been obliged to abandon the doctrines of his Veto and other Messages, and throw himself upon our principals, for the salvation of our county. Have not our doctrines in relaton to the Union, to the powers of the Executive, and the au thority of the Supreme Court, now gained a complete triumph? Our party did not succeed, it is true, in the late Presidential contest, but the opposing party has been obliged to come to us, and virtually declare themselves wrong. The principles of this proclamation are nothing more than a paraphrase on Daniel Werster's Speech in answer to General hwne, not so elegant it is true, nor so consistent with itself, but clothed as it is with executive sanction, it will give our principles a still wider circulation. Boston Editors There is no city in the United States where editors of Newspapers appear to be held in such high estimation as they are in Boston. In New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, whoever thinks of confering an oflice of honor, trust, or emolument upon an editor? Nobody. An editor there is expected to preform the whole drudgery of an electioneering campaign and if he get through it without impairing his subscription list, he considers himself fortunate. In Boston we do things in a different way. We never think of making out a ticket for the Legislate e without attaching to it a large number (proportionally) of the corps editorial than of any other profession among us. We have recently elected sj'r of the fraternity to the JIoue of Representatives, and three others failed only for the want of votes. Boston Daily Atlas.

For the convenient conjoint exercise oflhe Sovereignty of the State, there must of necessity be some common agency or functionary. This tgenry is the Federal Government. It lep-esruls the confederated States, and executes their joint will, as expi essed in the compact. The powers of this Government are wholly derivative. It possesses no more inherent sovereignty than an incorporated town,or any other great corporate body it is a political corporation, it looks for i is powers to an exterior source. That source is the State. South Carolina claims that by the Declaration of Iudependence, she J?e-
