Excerpt from Strictures on Nullification

This body proceeded at once and without much discussion to adopt what they call an Ordinance to nullify the Revenue laws of the country, which we propose to copy in the course of our remarks. Having published this act, with an aecom panying exposition of their motives'in passing ii, and addresses to the people of the United States and of South Carolina, the Convention adjourned without day, leaving> it in charge to a committee appointed for that purpose to summon another meeting, if it should appear expedient. The composition of the Ordinance is attributed to Chancellor Harper; that of the exposition accompanying it to Mr. Mcduffie; and that of the addresses to the people of the United States and of South Carolina respectively to General Hayne and Mr. Turnbull. The Legislature of the State have since assembled, and, agree ably to the tenor of the Ordinance, will doubtless pass such laws as may be thought necessary for carrying the measure into full effect.
