"The respectful consideration which the resolutions of the general assembly have received from South Carolina, authorizes a hope, that the federal government, whom you also addressed, will not disregard your friendly suggestions, and will cease to threaten that government with military coercion, which can only terminate in disaster to the country. It would now seem manifest, that a repeal of the oppressive tariff by congress, or its reduction to the revenue standard, fully suited to the wants of the government, is all that is necessary to restore harmony and confidence to the country, and take from the authorities of the federal government all pretext for military force."--Correspondence from John Floyd (Governor of Virginia) to the Senate and House of Delegates.
