Georgia protests against it with 'abhorrence'—Tennessee reprobates it—The Committee of North Carolina disavows it as unwarranted by the Constitution—The Committee of Alabama scouts it as a heresy—Virginia disclaims it as illegitimate—More than one-third of her own citizens (of S.C.) oppose it with all their energies. There is not another State out of the 24, who approves of her remedy, however they may sympathize in her wrongs. Does it best become her then to push on to extremities; or, to pause in her career; take counsel with her sisters, and unite with them in the best means for obtaining relief, and for preserving the Union?
