Mr. MUUII AY mid on tlie table the follow iug resolutions : YV herons 11k* political crisis in our own State, as well ns national atlUirs has arrived, when a determinate and an reserved expression of the sentiments of the people, may correct erroneous im pressions in our sister Slides, and remove every delusion ofeiUiet'sell interested po liticians. i • visionary men nt home, as to the prevailing feelings ofthe citizens of Georgia. And w hereas the recent events iu an adjoining state, and the expression of opinions in our own, bespeak unfa vorable indications, to tlie continuance of the peace, tranquility nnd happiness of ourheloveil country, w Inch manifestation of feeling is too particularly notorious to he susceptible of miseonstruelioi :—ln such impolitic us w ell ns dangerous dis plays of impolitic as well as political ex citement, every good citizen is bound by those inestimable patriotic ties of feeling to rally round onr national government, which lias heretofore rellt'Cled such a lustre over our political, moral, and civil associations, us to elicit the admiration of the w in-id. And w hereas at this momentous peri od. the people of Georgia, by their repre sentatives, now assembled, unhesitating ly avow a iii iu adherence to the princi ples expressed in tlie following resolu tions: Be it therefore resolved by the Senate and House of llcjrresndalives if the Stale if Ceor wia in Central klssernldy met, and it is hereby . o , midi/ resolved by the same. That the pre sent federal constitution is the bond of union between these United Slates.— With a v ievv therefore to avoid all cause of dissipation and complaint, it is essen tial that the national government, in the exercise of its powers, should, without deviation, adhere to a-correct literal eou sl auction of that instrument and carefully avoid the usurpation of any right not cx pres.-ip surrendered. Krsi\ That though the Congress of the U. Mates may legitimately raise a revenue llv the support of Government: vet in so duk'g, a just and prudent dis cretion ought to he exercised, Oaslantly keeping in view a fair and just equaliza tion ofthe hmihetvs imposed amongst the several States. Yet this principle has been greatly disregarded, and experience proves it,iu tlie existing tarilfoi' 1828. That nv, manifestly unjust in its concep tion. has also been partial in its opera tion. and still continues its buncfn! pres sure on the most vital interests of the ' (South while the people ol this Male, with their accustomed patriotism, have yield mi obedience to it, but they now urge in the most emphatic terms, its modification and better adaptation to tlie interest ol the whole. Unsolved. That Georgia .in common w ith the Southern States,is fully convinced of the importance of an early and success ful extinguishment of the national debt, as then the demand for revenue should only he proportionate to the immediate wants of the Government, and thus n painful and prolific source of discord will be removed, and tiie blessings of recon dilation nnd harmony, again pervade the- States in general. Hesolvcd, That ns there are conflicting opinions, as well as an avowed .hostility ofthe people, against the assumption by 1 Congress, to apply the national resources l to the purposes miscalled ‘•lnternal Im provement," therefore tin's Legislature ( cannot forbear expressing their positive i disapprobation of any such appropria- I tions, until the constitution of the U. S I is so amended as expressly to surrender • the guaranty of the power now claimed, i Resolved. That the people of Georgia ( contemplate with deep and ardent regret i the frequent and open expressions, u»- 1 friendly to the perpetuation of our pro- ■ sent happy union. They nevertheless i cannot now refrain from declaring it as I their firm and solemn belief that thepre- ■ serration of the present General Govern I meat, as based on the Federal I-oustitu- j ion, is the rock on which our future safe ly depends, and that on the annihilation t of political sentiments, other than those i pulri itieaily iriendiy to the continuance < of this Government, not only depends the i present, hut the futureexistenee. und Imp- i piness of the people oflhcscll. S. That ; a wise and prudent discrimination lie- i tween feelings tending in their rouse- i quenccs to Union or disunion, cannot be too closely cherished and appreciated, us the sole hope and safety of this republic. Thnt disunion, it is firmly believed, will bring in its train, discord, misery am! civil war; and finally that the people of this rotate deem those as their worst and bit- Icrest enemies, who seek to sow the steeds ofdisunion, and introduce the wretched doctrines of nullification amongst them. Jteeolvcd, That tlie people of Georgia, ] by their i«presentntivcs, now in session, v iew with deep nml increasing solicitude, the re-election of Andrew Jackson to lltc I’residency ofthe United Stull's, avow ing an open and frank devoledacss ol feeling to Itis- construction ofthe Federal Constitution a regards internal improve ment, and Itis administration generally.
