Excerpt from The Remedy by State Interposition, or Nullification: Explained and Advocated by Chancellor Harper, in His Speech at Columbia, (S. C.) On the 20th September, 1830

The measure at present under consideration is, the calling of 3 Convention of the people of this state. There are advantages in thisvmeasure, whatever course such a body may pursue. A wider selection of the talent, information and experience ofthe state may be made than for the legislative body. It will satisfy the scruples of those who belive that only legislative powers relative to the inter nal concerns of the state have been committed by the Constitution to the Legislature; that to determine any thing which respects our relations with the General Government, does not come within this class of powers, though clearly appertaining to the sovereign eu thority of the state. Which will he represented in Convention. It does not follow. That the Convention will act promptly - it can hard ly be supposed that it will act rashly. It will not, in all probability, meet until the adjournment of the ensuing session of Congress If the hopes which are held out to us shall appear to have bvightened, it may have power to adjourn. To a more distant day. In the mean time, it may Communicate with the General Government, or with our sister states of the south. And certainly will not take any decisive step till it shall become inevitable.

Those who oppose a Convention. Do so because it will be huge tory Unless it shall result in a reunification (as it is called.) and this they think equivale t to a secession from he Union, and fear civil War will follow. I will not effect to disguise my own opium.
