(. He Sjrocg was called to the chair, and Col. Robert A. Beall appointed secretary. Hon. Henry G. Lamar, presented the follow-1 ing preamble and resolutions ; w hich after tho rough discussion, in which Col. Lamar, Hon. A. S, Clayton, Col. S. Jones, John G. Polhill, Esqs. and I ion. John M. Berrien, participated, were adopted with a single dissentin'? voice— Whereas a number of the free citizens of tlns j State assembled al Athens on Wednesday thej Ist inst. to take into consideration the.grievances under which we labor from the oppressive and unconstitutional taxation of the F< deral Govem ident, and to devise the most efficient and proper means of redress, adopt the following preamble and resolutions:— PREAMBLE AM) RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, the people of Georgia, ns well in primary assemblies of citizens in th'-ir re.spcc'ive counties, as by their Representatives in the Leg islature thereof, have repeatedly and solemnly declared the several acts laying duties on im ports, (in so far as such acts transcended the pur poses of revenue, and. were designed for the pro tection of manufactures,) to bo unjust, oppressive and unconstitutional; and have solemnly announ ced their determination not to submit to su h un lawful exactions; and their consequent resolu tion to resist them, if after a reasonable time they should not bo repealed. And whereas, the good people of this state and others, having common interest with them in this matter, have looked to the period of the payment of the national deb?, as that, at which the income raised by taxation should be reduced to the sum required by the wantsof the Government, by du tics fairly imposed upon all the imports of the U. plates—and have expected from the justice of that Congress which has just closed its session, a repeal of these obnoxious laws. And whereas, this reasonable expectation has been disappointed, and the protection of manu factures is now avowed as a permanent princi pie of Federal legislation. Be it therefore resolved, That we, as free citi zens of Georgia, w-ill not longer submit to this oystoni oflegislation which is arbitrary, unequ al, unconstitutional, and therefore unjust—that it he recommended to our fellow-cilizens in the several counties to elect delegates to a State Convention to assemble at Milledgeville on the second Monday in November next, and to invest them with full power in behalf of the g<>od peo. 1 pie of Georgia to maintain, preserve, and de fend the rights and privileges of the free citizens of this state. Resolved, That John McPherson Berrien, Augustin y. Clayton, Thomas Glascock, Joel Crawford, Samuel Rockwell, William 11. Tor-, ranee, and William C. Dawson, be a committee of correspondence to confer with our fellow-citi zens of other States, on all matters connected with our common interests. And whereas, we the free citizens as Bibb in general meeting assembled, having seen and considered the aforegoing resolutions, <lo concur in the same— Be it therefore resolved, that the citizens of the said county of Bibb, do cordially concur with our fellow-citizens assembled at Athens as afore said, and do adopt the said resolutions as express ive of our feelings and determination on this in teresting subject. Resolved, That We will on the first Monday in October next, elect two delegates to represent •is in a Convention to be held at Milledgeville, on the second Monday in November next, ns contemplated by the above resolutions.

At a very large and respectable meeting of tiie Citizens of Jasper county, in the town of Moniicello, onkthe 11th inst. Cuthbert Reese, Esq. was called to the chair, and B. F. Ward appointed Secretary. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted, without a dissent ing voice. Whereas the people of Georgia have borne the burthens of the general Government, both in war and peace, with an earnest and ar dent zeal for the public good, and have looked with pleasure to the period whan the national debt shall be paid, and the duties on imports re duced to the current expenses and necessary wants of the government. And whereas the majority in Congress con trary to the constitution, to cquali’y and justice, have avowed that the protection of is he fixed and permanent policy of the govern t. Be it therefore resolved hy the Citizens of Jasper county, that the tariff acts, are unconsti tutional, and are unjust, unequal and oppressive . to the people of this State, and ought to be re duced to the necessary expenses of the gov ernment.

And id ' that thev will elect, ob the first Monday inijr October next, three delegates to a Stale Con-(is vention, to assemble at die on the ■! • second Monday in November next, there, (with pi delegates from other counties of this State,) to id 1 deliberate and determine on the best mode and d measures of relieving this Slate from the oppres- j sions of the tarifl.

In pursuance of a previous notice, a large and . respectable number of the citizens of this place 1 : d.-judos the county, assembled at the Court House, on-this dav, to take into consideration I » 7 (some early and efficient measure of relief fiorrU the evils of the present Tariff. The meeting be- j dug called to order. Col. John I*. Lucas was j call d to the chair, and Major T. J. Hill appoint ed Secretary. On motion, a committee consisting of Messrs. ■A. ii. Hob, I*. O. Lumpkin, Robert M. Echols, j; i Win. J. Vason. Egbert B. Beall, Waters Bris-H ||coi, and James Ferguson, were appointed by thejj ! chair, to draft and report suitable resolutions , for the occasion, who retired fur a short time, 'returned and reported the following preamble and resolutions, to wit: NULLIFICATION. Whereas it is tiie deep and deliberate convic tion of this meeting, that the Laws enacted hyj the Congress of the United States, commonly i I°•» 7 * ■ leaded the Tariff Laws, are a palpable and dan-j gerous violation of the Constitution of theUU States, and do impose an unjust, unequal, and;! |oppressive tax upon the labour and industry of|{ [the Southern States, for the unwise and illiberal I • purpose of protecting the Manufacturers of thejj j Northern States.— j And, whereas at a late meeting of a portion of’ our fellow-citizens at Athens, it was i 1 j Resolved, That we wifi not longer submit to 1 . the system of legislation, which is arbii rary, une- i J qual, unconstitutional, and therefore unjust —j 'and that it be recommended to the citizens of the | ■different counties to elect delegates to attend a| State Convention to be held at Milledgeville, on; the 2d Monday in November next. ' Be it therefore lie-solved. That this meeting I | deem it an imperative and paramount duly of: freemen, at all hazards, to resist oppression, and ! vindicate their rights and liberties from any un-j constitutional violation. \ Rrsolved. That wo arc devotedly attached to i j the Union of these States, and at all times will (j {forbear and suffer cfvils, so long as they are suf-i ferable, and compatible with the duty we owe! ourselves and posterity, if such forbearance will! tend to perpetuate the Union, and preserve thef j Constitution in its original purity—but if oppres- sion compclls us to choose between the Union on! : the one hand, and the Constitution and Liberty] on the other, we must forget that we are the ; descendants of the fathers of our glorious revo : lution before we can be persuaded to cling to the former, and give up the latter. Resolved, That we consider it an unprofita ble waste of words, }'ca, unbecoming the char i neter of freemen, to parley longer with the ad vocates of these odious and oppressive laws— , That the j>o\ver of truth, and force of reason 1 ] have lost their wonted influence upon them, and * that “the argument is exhausted,” and all peaceable means recognized by the Constitu tion have been resorted to by us to be released I from the operation of said law s. We are there j fore prepared, and do most solemnly declare i j that, so soon as a majority of the freemen of this I;[State shall concur .with us, and concert mea •ljsurcS fi?r united action, we will no longer sub jjmit to bo plundered of our property by this sva-j f item of Federal legislation, which has reduced us Ito worse than colonial bondage, and violated |4he most sacred principles of the Constitution, j Be it further Resolved, That we concur in | the sentiments expressed by the meeting at: Athens, and recommend to the citizens of Wal ton County, to hold an election for Delegates to meet said Convention at Milledgeville on the , 2d Mo'nday in November next. ** | i; And the same being read, and some consid- I crable discussion having taken place ; Major P. I, O. Lumpkin, offered the following, which was ; | finally adopted as a substitute-to the report of the committee, by a majority of the meeting, to wit ; | RESOLUTIONS No. 2. j Whereas the people of Georgia have, in pri jmary assemblies, at different times, and l>\ I j their Representatives in the Legislature from i ■| year to year, resolved, that a Tariff System,! i |so far as tiie same was intended lor the prctcc tion ol domestic manulac'urcs, was oppressive to [Southern interest, unconstitutional and unjust! i —and the same having been submitted to, thus long, solely for the purpose of enabling the Fed [oral Government to pay off and discharge the public debt, w hich may now he considered as [-accomplished ; and whereas, the State of Goor- I gia has remonstrated, memorialized, and pro | tested against the continuance of such a svstwm} —all which has been passed by, unheeded by! j the Federal Legislature—and the late Con'-; | gross having adjourned without relieving us; ■ from the burden ; We, the citizens of the county of Walton, i] is deem it our privilege and duty, as freemen ;*ud : i as citizens of a Sovereign State, to enter our " solemn protest against such abuse of power. | We cannot, injustice to ourselves, submit to a| '|| system which will entail poverty on us and ouri j ! | offspring, for the sole benefit of manufacturing] capitalists. i Ist. Therefore he it resolved, That we w ill rcs : st the said protective system, bv all consti.( ' i rational means, to the utmost of our power and '[lability. 2d. And he it further resolved. That in the 11 1 opinion of this meeting, the hopes of the South' for a deliverance from the evils under which j they labor, and for the perpetuation of our once; happy and beloved Union, mainly depend on the, , re-election of that distinguished Patriot and! Statesman, Andrew Jackson ; and that anyji ! measure calculated to embarrass his administra- ; tion, or defeat his re-election, ought to be dc- j precatod by every Patriot of the South, j 3d. Therefore he it further resolved. That , we are opposed to Nullification as the mode of i redress for our grievances, for as much as wojj consider it neither constitutional nor peaceable - lj as it must in the very nature of tilings brino- usi! directly in collision with the Gen. Government 1 and end in a state of open war. And he it further resolved. That we recoin- 1 mend to our fellow-citizens in each county l i throughout the State, to have meetings, and 1 appoint delegates to meet at MiUiedgeville on ■ the second Monday in November next, to devise 1 ! the most proper and efficient measures toreme-’ 1 dy the aforesaid evils. Major A. B r Hoit then rooyed that the 3d reso- :l * tj T np- *<£****■ lution of the mibstitpte be stricken out, which motion being further discussed, was lost by a ! small majority. On motion, it was ordered, that the proceed ings of this meeting be signed by the chairman and secretary and published in the federal , Union and Georgia Journal. ij The meeting then adjourned.

Jj At a numerous meeting of the citizens oi Han , ' Count v, held at the Court-House, on the 10th I August 1932, Captain Nt-hemiah Garrison, was ! ichosen Chairman, and James Law, Esq. Score- ; | tarv. The object of the meeting having been ; ■explained hv Henry Lightfixrt Sims, to be the: ! consideration of the “ mode of redress against _! the tariff laws” as recommended by tue Nullifi ers of South-Carolina and Georgia, a series of! resolutions were then offered by Major Robert .Mitcliellj who enforced their policy and pro-'i pri' ty, and exposed t!ie dangerous heresies ei | I nullification, in a lengthy address to the meeting.

Neal, Esq. —the question l was first taken on Mr. Neal s resolutions and lost, j |The question then being taken upon the resolu- j tions presented by Major Mitchell was, with no- j Iclamutjon, carried by an overwhelming majori-j ty. _ t | Major MiTcntfLi/s resolutions :—Whereas j in all free governments it is the privilege of the! people to express their opinions on all subjects j at all connected with the welfare of the country j —and whereas there have been many indica-j tions of late too plain to be mistaken of an intea -1 tion to force the dangerous doctrine ol nullifica jtion on the good people of Georgia, under the I plausible pretext of an opposition to the laws of! j Congress, usually denominated the Tariff laws — : i land whereas we believe this doctrine, if carried j into practical operation, must produce a dissolu tion of the government, bring on all the horrors | of a civil war —introduce the confusion of an-: arch 5% and must finally end in despotism. 1. Resolved , therefore —That we arewhollvi 7 j and unconditionally opposed to the Tariff or: j Protective System, and that we will as freemen, j jand as patriots employ all our means and cner-j gies, consistent with the integrity, and duration! ofonr happy, free and beloved country, to ac complish its abolition. 2. Resolved, That wo are unconditionally opposed to a redress of the grievances under w hich we labor, by the hazardous and dangerous remedy of Nullification —and that we consider! it neither a peaceful, rightful or constitutional! remedy. 3. Resoiced , That we consider the dissemina-1 . tion and establishing the doctrine of Nuliiflca- } i lion by the enemies -of General Jackson, as! covertly designed to defeat his re-election, raid j that we pledge ourselves to bo the more zealous and active in his support. 4. Resolved, That our confidence in the Ad ministration of Gen’l. Jackson is unimpaired— and that we yet look to him and his friends for an ad justment of this perplexing question, so as to harmonize with all sections and classes of the country. 5.

I I OGLETHORPE MEETING. | Sparta, July, 1832. j i Gentlemen : —I have received your letter ot j ; 21st inst. containing an invitation for the 3d j August next, to moot at Lexington, the citizens j of Oglethorpe county, who will assemble on ; that day to “ take into consideration what mode | and measure of redress they will determine on, ■ in order to relieve themselves and their children j from the unjust and burdensome operation of the ! Tariff’/’ and have very much to regret that it i will not be in my power to attend. It cannot ! be doubted but that it is the duty of every citi j zeii of. the Soutliern States to seek for the means i of accomplishing an objfect of the highest im-j 1 portance, not only to them, but to every mem-; ber of the Union, so far as they are connected! with its perpetuity. Your meeting, therefore,! demands the most respectful consideration. 1 j am free to acknowledge, that if the principle of a Tariff’ for tire protection of one description of labor, over any other, or all other labor, or for the particular benefit of one section ol’ tjie States, however small, is to be the settled policy of the Federal Government, that the dissolution of the Union of the States, must and ought to take place. If the constitutionality of the measure was admitted, it seems to me very clear that the exercise of the power must sooner or later, from i its very nature, lead to the consequences now so much to be apprehended* The aptitude to sec tional feeling, which is constantly developing it self with North, South, East and West, leaves not a doubt, that if the Congres of the U. S. is f o to exercise the power referred to, the struggle ' for peculiar advantages by Federal Legislation, in some shape or other, will be interminable, un til all the barriers intended by tiie Constitution, to guard the liberties of this people will bo de molished. The constant regard which every where displays itself in that instrument for equal rights, equal benefits, and equal protection, to the parties who formed it, is properly called its spirit, and surely cannot permit us to believe that its authors ever intended that any one, two, or five States, by any system of taxation, either direct or indirect, should be benofitted exclusive ly, either five, or forty per cent, upon the pro | ductions of the labor of the others ; but an ar j gument to the constitutionality.or expediency of the measure, which is the creation of your meeting, is uncalled fur. The means of relief, which on your councils may be adopted, is in comparably more important, and of this I can only say, that it involves the interest of millions of our fellow-citizens. It is therefore not the ! work of one man nor of one State —is in no i way filled for the achievement of either the one ; or the other, but in an eminent degree demand. ! ing the united powers of all concerned ; if the| work can be accomplished even by a unanimous! ; effort, without the destruction of tire Union, 11 should think it a proper occasion for a national! jubilee. I beg, gentlemen, you will accept my best' wishes for the success of labours, and Le-| j hevc me to be, your most obedient servant, WM. TERRELL. I i I will take the liberty of offering the follow’. | ing sentiment : The Constitution of the United i -States. —Formed by sovereigns, with perfect I | powers, and equal rights ; to be perpetual, it 1 must secure equal benefits. ■ Sparta, July 30, 1832. Gentlemen :—Your esteemed favor of the 21st inst. was revived on my return home from \\ dikes. To meet and deliberate with you on! | the important subject of the present occasion, is jja duty, in ■ very citizen, who (eels the evils of the! ijexisfing system of oppression—and to mo it! wtuifi he extremely gratifying, as well as in- 1 . s; motive —but a personal attendance being atjj jjti.is time inconvenient, I will beg leave merely to! ■ | observe, that in my humble opinion, meetings of fit his <- .iaracter, if general, are well calculated, not •jouly to excite reflection, and an anxious inquiry ■into the origin and nature of the grievance, but/ :|when exempt from passion and prejudice, to in- ! j vent and systematize a plan for relief. I Sr<f discordant are the views of intelligent poli ticians : pon the remedy, that the suggestion of; I one, or adoption of another mode, is certain of dopposition, and frequently of ridicule. While’ one a.an oi equal patriotism is disposed still toH hr tr an . forbear, ~at.ier than fly to ills of which j die know s no. the extent, another is warm for any j | measures, no ma’t.r in how direct collision thev: !may place the State, w ith the General Govern-! • mem. V» ith the utmost deference to the opinJ 10ns of enlightened gentlemen, in this and our j adjoining St a-, i cannot convince mvselfof the ngu churned by the people of our Stale, while ,n /” p/n r, f the Union, to oppose the acts Ip/ 1 V : - uv! ’ exercised osiensibfy within | the s P‘; erCi -• r constitutional limit. But, when a people are convinced that the objects of their - association are not fulfilled—-that the barriers interposed for their security are broken down — their equal rights to protection disregarded by the power to whom the government is confided ; a preference by legislation yielded to one over another sectioh or interest—-their petitions for redress disregarded, and their remonstrance con- . teamed, it is their right, and must be their duty / to themselves, openly to declare—“non in luce f-dera veni”—we will no longer submit to these; usurpations, and if we cannot continue under I the family compact, on (riendly and equal terms, ii is better that like Abram and Lot we separate, j, 'But,before this dernier resort is adopted, should., not some solemn and emphatic demonstration be made, having for its object to convince those j; ■ who exercise the power, that we are in earnest,:; ‘and that it is with them alone, to say whether we.| shall be driven to this dreaded alternative? Couw . (when it may; (and I trust, in God the day 'shall dawn upon the event) a separation ol tuis j Union is not lightly to be thought ot —‘'till a sevc- ; I ranee, with all its concomitant evils, will be pro-j; I ferahie to the existing state of ill blood and dis- : 'nutation. | On the subject of the Tariff, and Internal im-j, jprovement, during the last few years, ot what ■ j avail has been the voice of the Fouth in Con-ll I gross ? The power is w ith our political ad versa- j i ries, who have shown themselves relentless in ij the use of it. Os w hat use, then, is the present jj representation ol the Southern States, m the led eral legislation ? It is but a niockt'ry. Let the jj South, then, in one united voice of the people, do-1; dare “ that wc will no longer meet you in joint jj deliberation—we will not participate inyourcoim- j sels, until this abomination shall he driven from : j our land —until the constitution, the bond of our! Union, is restored in its purity: you may pro-; eced without us, for with us, you have no com- ! men feelings.” I humbly conceive that a course similar toji tiffs, while it evinces a passive yet j»osifivc dc-j! termination, will arouse the honest and patriotic!! of our northern brethren, to a sense ot our rights, and of the injustice under w hich wc any suffering. In the firm belief that your deliberations will bo distinguished by views, truly beneficial to our, country, I remain, gentlemen, your friend, and humble, servant. NATHAN C. SAYRE, jj From the Philadelphia Gazette. FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE^ 1. Henry Clay refused a seat in Mr. Monroe’s ; cabinet because he would notsit w ith John Quin- j; cy Adams, ‘an apostate federalist.’ The samejj j Mr. Adams was afterwards elected President of | I the United States by the votes of Mr. Clay’s po- : I litical friends in the House of Representatives, I and the sumo Mr. Clay became Mr. Adams’ | Secretary of State. The taint which once form-j| cd an inseparable barrier to any political union !| with Mr. Adams, was quite worn out when Mr. j Clay cipuld place Mr. Adams where Mr. Adams! could place Mr. Clay, in-line of safe precedent.” j! The anecdote of Sir Godfrey Knowler is in point, ij He said to Mr. Cocke the Auctioneer, “By- ,!| | 1 love you Mr. Cocke, and will serve you. But!' ! yommust serve.me too. —One hand cun wash the'\ i face, hit the two hands must wash one another .” jj I 2. There w r as no electoral ticket in 182 4 ini 1 Kentucky friendly to Mr. Adams. The con-j test was between Clay and Jackson. As Mr. j Clay received only thirty-four cdectpral votes' and t[id not come before the House, the Repre sentatives of Kentucky were bound by every | principle of public and private virtue to vole for ! Andrew Jackson, the second choice of the stale, j Seven of the twelve voted for John Quincy j Adams, who had not twelve political friends in the whole state of Kentucky, four of them vot ed for Andrew' Jackson, and the last man Mr. Speaker Clay himself did not think it necessary 1 to vote at all. He knew that seven was as i much a majority of twelve as eight. The Na tional Republicans chuckle much that one of the nine representative's of Tennessee is oppos ed to the re-election of President Jackson. Let them contrast, this with Mr. Clay’s standing in Kentucky. At the next election, after lie be-- 1 came Secretary of State, the delegation was re- i versed, they being eight Jacksonmen to four daymen. At the next election ten Jackson men and only two daymen were* returned and now the delegation is seven to five against him. 3. “ The Fisheries ! the Fisheries 1 Mr. Ben ton alluded lately, to Mr. Clay’s “ postponed ve racity.” When Messrs. Clay and Adams re turned from Ghent, they were bitter political en emies. When they wore spoken of for the Pre sidency, the latter was charged with attempting to barter the navigation of the Mississippi for the fisheries, or as Mr. Clay called it “ for cod fish,” Mr. Adams indignantly denied ’it, and Mr. Clay said that after the Presidential elec tion lie would prove it. After the election these | political harlequins were seen mounted in the 1 Presidential and safe precedent chairs. Mr. i Clay lias never made good lus charge to this day. 4. When Mr. Clay some years since was!| “ buying golden opinions” as zealously as Sic isji now trying to do, he declared that no matter how] indirectly the will of the people was expressed/! he felt bound to obey it. When tiie election 1 devolved upon the House of Representatives ha j 1 wrote to his friends in Kentucky to use their/ ! influence with the Kentucky Legislature topre- ! | vent any instructions being given. Their ex-: | ertions were unavailing, and the Legislature j' nearly unanimously directed the Representatives;! of Kentucky to vote for Andrew Jackson. The! instruction was treated with contempt by seven,! of the twelve as above stated. At the nexte-i lectiqn nearly all these seven were turned out.! One of them named Trimble honestly tuM his!' constituents in a speech delivered from a pulpily in one of the churches in his district after divine 1 , service, that the rpason he- and the six others!! had voted fur Mr. Adams was to promote Mr.! Clay’s advancement. His constituents turned:! him out by a large majority. All these facts were well known to the voters oi’ the United it States from live <Sc six years ago.—At the next c-l; lection many young men will vote who were but*l thirteen years of age when the election of Mr/ Adams, was committed. Many of them have!' been kep L in the dark by their political drv-uur-| ses, and having but little taste for the study of public affairs, have never investigated the sub-! IjeCi. themselves.—As Mr. McDuffie, pertinently |obsei\ed, Lucre has been many a man justly hung upon less evidence than could be furnish ed in a court of justice concerning “ the bar- i gain.” t\ i (Communication, No. 1.) | RELICS OF TffE ABORIGINES.

We were firmly persuaded, when we began th path- 1 entioh of several articles under the above title, that at i tempts would be made to controw rt the armtmcsßs v,t ! . ° j should advance in them, deny the facts we should pro idtice, and shake the grounds we should assume, in op (position to the doctrine of nullification, and in defence of I : the rights of the States. As wc were determined to ;’■»! i low but the (hrfrtes of truth, and to be guided bv what I wc conceived to be a correct interpretation of the federal j constitution, wc expeemd that those who are endcavorittz [to mislead the public mind, by an erroneous construction % [of that instrument, and by advocating principles a« per j nicious as they arc subversive of the free institution* of i the country, would be irritated, and adopt means to pre sent the entire demolition of the feeble structure upon ! which they have erected their idol, Nullification. We : have not been disappointed m our expectation. Auion.r i those papa rs which have made an attempt to nic» { out . \ | arguments, is the Carolinian, printed in Edgefield, Son* | . C-nrultna. And do the editors of that paper meet us fair. ly, and try to show tho futility anr; unsoundness of our ~ arguments and positions ? No. They could not enter into the controversy, with arguments strong ennui'll I" p j demolish ours. They, consequently, resort to rak-rc [presentation, to insinuations, and to assertions, as boll | ? as they arc unwarranted by any information in the pof- | | session of toe editors. They have received our rrp t j I regularly, in exchange for theirs, sine* we began ,v ; editorial labours in this place. And certainly wc nr •’ have deceived our renders, if, instead of being edit - : of tais pap.- r, and ol exercising alone that controul v.h: : hmongs to us, we are under tho surveillance of so"’/ j one. But the fact :s, that the editors of the Oarolinn' . could not meet our arguments. Hence the attempt throw a doubt as to the writer of the editorial artiok 1 of tms paper, and to the motives which so far have cl | cited them. These remarks refer to the following CJ- | [tract from an editorial article in the Carolinian of E* | 1 18th instant;— “ Having observed that in a la 4 o number of the r stitotionalist the publication of the 4 regularly nomin e- | |ed ticket’ of the Troup party of candidates for Congr ■■ I i was ‘suspended,’ wc were prepared for seme such do j vebmemeat, us we find in that paper of the 7th, mA (the above head :—Two months ago, wc should have es- ,p| j rx-cted an article of more dignity and temper, from th' i repuidd writer (for, although purporting to* be editor.* I |we can hardly be mistaken in attributing “ ilic cti?'* j 1 a gentleman, under whose surveillance that press u I believed to be, and whose remarks are entitled to rnor consideration than the mere speculations of |;l|| Gaieu & Bunce.)
