NATIONAL AND STATE RIGHTS, CONSIDERED BY THE HON. GEORGE M'DUFFIE, UNDER THE SIGNATURE OF ONE OF THE PEOPLE, IN REPLY TO THE "TRIO," WITH THE ADVERTISEMENT PREFIXED TO IT, GENERALLY ATTRIBUTED TO MAJOR JAMES HAMILTON, JR. WHEN PUBLISHED IN 1821
1830 · Charleston
by McDuffie, George
Charleston: Printed and Published by W.S. Blain, 1830. v, [6]-40pp. Top margin trimmed closely, with occasional loss of running title or page numbers. Spine reinforced. Small spot of paint on final page with loss of several letters. Else Good+.
This material, originally published in 1821 in the Milledgeville Gazette, highlighted the bitter political feud between factions led by John C. Calhoun and Georgia's William Crawford. McDuffie, a South Carolinian and lifelong ally of Calhoun, would, like Calhoun, eventually become an ardent State Rights and Nullification man. But neither man had yet become so.
In this attack McDuffie accused the Crawford faction of advocating the "suicidal" theory of State Rights, a "criminal sophism" "which in the end would have produced the dissolution" of the Union. I surmise that its publication in pamphlet form in 1830 was intended to embarrass McDuffie and Calhoun, now leading South Carolina in its Nullification Controversy with Andrew Jackson.
