Nullification Patriots.--The Columbia (South Carolina) Hive, a spirited democratic Union paper, having concluded its 5th volume, the Editor remarks, that were he assured that our country is now as secure as it is prosperous, he would most willingly retire from a vocation which has more to do with thorns than roses-- but the politician must be blind indeed to the signs of the times who cannot see the same restless nullifying spirit still at work at the root of our institutions which has heretofore shaken our political fabric to its centre.

What sentinel not recreant to his trust can cry all's well, when one of the representatives of the people in the national councils, has become the apologist of his country's foes? Our country still nourishes in its bosom those unnatural patriots who can discover no more natural alliance with foreigners than in the federal bond of our Union, so long the pride and boast of the republic.
