Vandalia Whig And Illinois Intelligencer

From the Richmond Enquirer.

Look at that picture and then at this.

I state as incontrovertible facts:

1st. That neither in the Virginia Resolutions, nor in the celebrated Report, is the right of Secession asserted or mentioned—All that she did was, to show that the States, being parties to the Compact, had the right to interpose; and that she did interpose only by declaring her sentiments, and thus enlightening public opinion.

2d. That Virginia never did contemplate the use of force in '98. It was not supported by a single friend to the resolutions in the House; nor by a single member of the Caucus of 30 who passed on the Resolutions.

3d. That she did not build her armory to oppose the Alien and Sedition Laws—for she had been buying up arms from '95—and finding those furnished by contract to be bad, she determined in 97, some months before the Alien and Sedition laws were proposed, to build an armory of her own near Richmond.

4th. That the wrongs of Virginia were much greater in '98, than those of S. C. are now—Then, the country was overrun with standing troops, one of her people was put in jail in this very city, under a palpable violation of the Constitution—and yet mark! she never once talked of force or secession.

5th. And though the right to secede does exist, it ought never to be thought of, but in the last extremity, after all other means have been exhausted—Virginia did not think of it in '98. And yet South Carolina, now that there is every prospect of doing away the Tariff, and when the patriot Jackson is throwing his almost unparalled fund of popularity on the side of the Anti-Tariff States, the Hotspurs of South Carolina are threatening secession, without consulting her sister States.
inviting her sister States. Let her compare her wrongs and her remedies in '32, with those of Virginia in '99—and blush for her precipitation!
