The New Hampshire Gazette

From the Boston Gazette.

We are happy to learn, as we do by the last Charleston papers, that the Virginia resolutions, and certain movements in Congress and in other quarters, have had a very favorable effect on the Nullifiers and the Union party, both of whom have suddenly assumed a more moderate tone in their writings. The Evening Post (nullification) says:-"We perceive from the proceedings in Congress that there is a disposition in that body to review the Tariff, which we trust will result in a modification that will avert the evils; that the present system is so well calculated to engender." The Patriot (Union paper) says:- "On the eve of the equitable adjustment of the Tariff, and when Virginia shall have spoken out that it must be reduced, that man must have more than common hardihood who should in such circumstances raise a question by which a violent collision may ensue. If public opinion did not rebuke him into silence or frown him down if he should ever signify such a design, we greatly mistake its indications." The Gazette (Union) says:"Rumors are extensively afloat upon this subject, nearly all of them indicating that such an adjustment of the vexed question is at hand, as must satisfy all reasonable men, all patriots, of whatever party."

These extracts evince a good temper, and are indeed cheering to every friend of peace. The Editor of the Patriot gives it as his opinion, that when the Replevin act of the Legislature "reaches Washington, the present dispute between South Carolina and the general government will be viewed in quite a different aspect to what it was after the passage of the Ordinance." This is a "consummation devoutly to be wished." We copy the following paragraph upon this subject from the Patriot:-

The Replevin Law,-The Replevin Law, as it is called, is published by us this evening, for the information of merchants and others. The precise character of this enactment was not known, and impressions had been produced on the minds of many that a penalty would attach to those importers who should choose to pay the duties. It will be perceived that the act is perfectly innoxious in its provisions. So long as individuals are left free to pay the duties or not, no harm can arise to the revenue from imports, should any number of such measures receive the sanction of the Legislature. As far as the revenue is concerned, the proceedings have commenced and have ended in theoretical Nullification. We found this opinion on the universal impression that no merchant of respectability will, for the sake of his credit and connexions, refuse to pay his bonds given for duties, on their reaching maturity.

The Nullifiers, and the Union party, continued to hold meetings in different sections of the State, the former stoutly declaring that, as their remedy was "peaceful," they would not be put down by the forces of the general government, and the latter, as stoutly, that they would not be compelled by the State to bear arms against the United States in the threatened struggle, be the consequences what they may. In almost every case; "the lives, the fortunes, and the sacred honor" of the parties, are pledged.
