Instinct CISS3 hii th» state of Georgia applied, as Mr. Jefferson calls it, this rigiitfcl beme. Mav 1 again respectfully ask your meeting, “ what are its sentiments in regard” to Govern or Troup's political principles ? lie says, “ what-j ever a state does in its sovereign capacity, will be right.” Actingupon this principle, in l ft 2s, vhen the general government attempted to an nuli the old, by what was called the new trea.y, he solemnly declared it should not bo done, sta ted boldly that he “ would employ ail the limit cd means in his power to prevent it,” and order ed the Hancock troop of horse to hold them selves in readiness. What stronger “ revolu tionary tendency ” con hi any measures exhibit? But this was not all, the Secretary of War or dered troops into the Oa'ion to overawe the state, listen, while perhaps the blood will curdle with indignation, at General Game’s despatch to that officer : “ Col. Chambers (said he) with five companies of the first, and Major Donoho, with f u ar companies of the fourth regiment of infant ry, have taken the positions assigned them, viz. the former at Marshall’s Ferry, Flint river, and the latter at Princeton, Chattahoochee, with in s' ructions corresponding with yours of the 21st of last month.” Did this alarm Governor Troup? Let me bring to your recollection that patriot’s reply to Mr. Adams: “ The legislature of Geor gia, will, at its first mee’ing, be advised to he ,,ist any effort which may be made to wrest, from the state the territory acquired by that treaty, and no matter by what authority that ef fort be made, if the legislature fail to vindi cate that right, the responsibility will be theirs, nor mine.” What became of the now treaty ? Georgia nullified it. She resisted the authority of the general government because its act was uncon stitutional, and being in the right, though force was not only threatened, but arrayed, she tri umphed, and ’lieold treaty was sustained. So, the federal troops marched to Flint river, and then marched back again. This is one act of nullification. I understand that the only objection to nullification is, it has a tendency to revolution and bloodshed, and to bring the fede ral government into contempt. What could so effectually produce all these events a? the C£iSe: 1 have just mentioned I The second instance was the case of Tassels. A mandate was sent from the Supremo Court of the United States, to suspend his execution un ii he could be heard before that Court on a writ of error. What said the legislature? •• Resolved, That the Governor and every otker officer* 0 f thi« state disregard any and eve ry mandate and process that has been or shall be served upon him or them, pro ceeding Irom the supreme court of the United Stales, for the purpose of arresting any of the criminal laws of this flute.’’ ‘'Resolved, That the Governor, with all the force and means placed at Ins command, resist and repel any and every invasion from whatever quarter, upon the adminis- I nation ofthe criminal laws of this state.” •V’v.t language can be stronger? And do not the resolutions imply the probability ofa conflict, that the state might have to battle it with the: General Government? But when the constitu tioii.il ri-gilts ofa state are violated, wlmt other aiterua ive is left ? We read from the lessons of : | the Rovolu ion that the motto of our forefathers I was liberty or death , and so far, I am proud to ! | sav, the conduct of Georgia has evinced to the iI world a noble vindication of the maxim. In reference to the third instance, I must l>cg | leave again to reiterate the enquiry to your | meeting, 41 what are its sentiments in regard” to . I the political course of Governor Lumpkin ? For I whatever may be their objections to that of Go-’j : vernor Troup, so far as relates to these doctrines, he has been fully supported by the present Gov- | ; ernor. At the last session of the legislature, , [ Governor Lumpkin communicated to that body, that be had received two citations commanding the state of Georgia to appear iu the supreme ’ I • ourt, to show cause why the judgments render | .(I in our state court against Worcester and But ler, should not be set aside. What said the Gov- I nor on hat occasion ? That which ought to com maud admiration of every friend of state rights. “ Any at empt (said he) to infringe the evident I right of the state to govern the entire population ; | widen its territorial limbs, and to punish all of j fences committed against its laws, within those 1 1 limits, (due regard being had to the cases ex pressly excepted by the constitution of the U. •'States.) would be the usurpation of a power never gran'ed bv the states.” And what waste be the j rein * v in such cases of usurpation I Hearken to th Governor: “Such aft attempt, udic never ; | nude, will challenge the most determined rests lance, and if persevered in, will evidently eventu- I ate in the annihilation ofour beloved country.” But was this all he said ? No ! The best evi- , [ cl, nee of lbs principles yet remains, and is in ex | act accordance with that of Governor Troup : “In exercising (continued ho) the authority of j I that department of the Government which de- | | voives on me, 1 will DISREGARD ALL UN UONSTI'TUTIONAL REQUISITIONS OF whatever character or origin j THEY MAY faE, an>l to the best of my ability, j will protect and defend the rights of the State, , j and use the means afforded me, to maintain its laws and constitution.” These are principles j every wav worthv of a statesman, and such as I every man should he proud, rrtHch less afraid, to avow. Bat Jet us murk the issue of this mission- I ary case, mid here I must ask again, “ what are | the sentiments of your meeting in regard” to s 'he Missionaries ? When I affirmed in Congress, ’hat “ before the Missionaries would be taken Loin tiie Penitentiary by virtue of the decision of the supreme court, Georgia would become a howling wilderness,” a letter from the city ot Augusta, the place where your meeting was hold, informed the Editor of the National Intel- j igencer, that I did not speak the sentiments of 'fie people of Georgia. Now I had every reason j I ■>) suppose be formed his opinion upon the views 1 ■'l his neighbors, if he spoke the truth ; and it j s o, the political opinions of that city arc at vari ance with the rest of the good people of Georgia, for the information thus given by the Augusta | letter lias, in all its parts, been wholly uucon- , I I firmed. And this induced me to fear that there I might be an interest in that flourishing city, not I altogether in unison with the good southern feol- I | mg of the rest of the state. Be this as it may,. I | the decision of the supreme court has been mdli. II /■■/, or the matter is now thrown upon the gene- 1 I i ral government to take its course. It it xields, I the authority of that government has been held I | in perfect contepipt and rendered null and void. I | Dit proceeds, then all the consequences ol revo- I > lulionnry action, and the effusion of blood , so I | much dreaded, in relation to the taviif, mus. be I the inevitable result. , I Ibis decision purports to be founded upon tne I | intercourse law passed by Congress in ISO 3, to I regulate trade with the Indians, and also upon I | the solemn Treaties of the United states, dc ■ dared bv the constitution tc be the supreme I the land. Now it is resisted by the State ol I Georgia, upon the ground that the law and the I Treaties are unconstitutional.' I Ml hat is the plain A: fair inference to be drawn l| from this case ? If a state can rightfully resist a I law which has not only gone through the usual I forms of legislation, sanctioned by the Execu- I hve a»4legislative brandies of government,* but has been pronounced cons'ilutional bv the highest Judicial power, ’hat is, passed all the guards that can give the stamp and au'horny of ij i aw j surely there can be but little cause to dread j a similar opposition to the tariff act founded upon ;i an equally flagrant usurpation. But we are bid they are not similar cases. Let us examine this point. r s he intercourse lure is founded upon that power in the constitution, which gives o Con gress the right to regut de commerce with the Indian Tribes. The tariff act is said to rest up on the right to regulate commerce with foreign notions. Now mark, both of these powers are found side by side, in the 8:h section of the Ist article of the federal constitution. Sup|»ose both laws, for the first ime, had been passed at the last Congress. The first, containing a provis ion that the Cherokee nation of Indians within the limits of Georgia, was an independent nation,, and not subject to the laws of Georgia. The second, containing a provision that the people of Georgia should pay a fax to the northern capi talists to protect their manufactures. What would Georgia do with the first, law ? Need I answer that she lias already nullified precisely such a law, in the present intercourse law, and the decision founded thereon. If then she would nullify the first law, can there be a sensible dis-i Terence, in point of effect or principle, between that and the last ? It is said their difference is in their consequences, the first applies to a single state, tlic other to all the states : and pray what has one sovereign s'ate to do with tlm rights of other sovereign states in their separate capaci ties ? It is not recollected that one state has: nothing to do with another, only in the stipulated articles that have confederated them together,! and so soon as the confederated government; passes a law out of these articles, each state I throws itself upon its original separate rights, ; and may employ whatever moans it pleases Io ; prevent the operation of that law, or if it chooses; it may submit to its authority. The other statesJj may desire the protective system, indeed morej! than two thirds clamor for it. Can this be any j good reason why Georgia shall submit to it ? j Suppose alt the other spates, like Louisiana j land Kentucky, should be bought up and become | 1 reconciled to the lute act, can it be ’ ."I that Ge<yrgtn must become so too ? Does it not occur to every mind that there can be no possi- j ble difference be’ween robbing the states, by piece meal, of their cous Rational rights, or do hig it in one general attack upon the whole sis terhood ! The reasoning that would attempt to make a difference will establish this position. If • a ruffian attacks a single individual, he mustre pel him immediately, but if he attacks him m company with twenty-three others, sixteen of whom. afcc willing to be robbed, and the other seven doubting whether they will fight or sub mit, he must wait until they make up their i minds ! From such logic I beg leave most heart ily to, dissent. All infractions of the constitution ijare alike, whether tney bo great or small, so say i jail divines in reference to the moral law: the progress of the mischief may be different, but jibe final result will be the same. The beautiful }j igreen field mav be as effectually destroyed bv j ■ •e , •J • the admission of its. despoilers at a single gap, |as if they laid rushed upon its luxuriance from ■ la prog rated broadside. j The fourth case, strange as it may appear, is ! !actually going on, almost unnoticed, at the pro-1 sent, time, and though silently, yet as certainly! Tus. the other three. I allude to the survey and; occupation of the Cherokee nation. Thousands 1 j who are no\\ decrying the term nullification, are! perfectly willing that it should not be arrested ini the case referred to, and perhaps like the threat; in your third resolution, would vote against any; I man who should be opposed to its success. The , last legislature authorised a survey and disposi-; 'tion of this whole country, and I understand tlic.j ;survey is made, the commissioners are convcn-; cd, preparation is making for the lottery, the'j drawing is to commence in October next, and in, all probability the possession of the lands will. pass from the Indians before the close ol the j year. Now what becomes of the treaties that' J . . have guarantied this very territory to its pre-ji sen 4 inhabitants ? The constitution of the Uni-i ; ted States declares all treaties to be the supreme law of the land, any thing in the cons.itution' and laws of the states, to the contrary notwith- 1 standing. The violation of a treaty of on in-' voives a nation in war, and but for the weak-; ness of this nation, such might have been the i consequences of this proceeding on the part of Georgia. ! Can it be possible that this will not be called, a plain, and palpable, ease of nullification! The matter is too clear ; concerning it there icon be no manner of doubt. And although as an individual, I can not agree that it is right, < vet under my doctrine, based upon the opinions of Mr. Jefferson, that a state has the right to judge for itself, as well ot infractions (ol the j j compact) as of the mode and measure of re-j dress,” and the state having pronounced these treaties unconstitutional, and therefore null, &i I vein, if she is invaded by the general govern-jj ment, I go to support her decision “ right wrong,” for my first allegiance is due to the state | of Georgia. This is my kind of nullification:; will your meeting do this ? It they will, there is! no difference of opinion between us; it they i will not, I leave the people of Georgia to judge; which doctrine suits their notions oi patriotism best. Now what case can tend to blood and re-|< volution stronger than this ? And yet Ido not; believe that this, or any other case, will ever' produce such a result. The thing is unreason-1 able. No oppressive and unconstitutional law can be enforced against a sovereign state. It is a free agent in a mere voluntary confederation which is wholly unnecessary to its internal mu nicipal regulation. Having gone into the uni on for external objects, the moment these arc, j lost, and an attempt is made to rob her of her; j inherent rights, the same free agency that made! ithe compact can dissolve if, nay it would become; !so by reason of the fraud of the opposite party, j Force is out of the question. Four times has I Georgia tried this matter, and just as certain as. ifate four times she will have proved it. And it, 'she will try it the fifth time, she will meet with jj 'the same-success, for no man can believe that;| when the alternative is presented to the general | government to give up the Union, or to cut the s throats of her citizens to pamper the wealth of , it a priviledged order, that the choice will occa-y jsion even an instant’s hesitation. In all cases of usurped or assumed powers, j 1 Mr. Jefferson’s doctrine maintain three things : i i Ist. That nullification is the rightful remedy. 1 2d. That it is a natural right. i 3d. That “ every state,” of its 44 own au-| thoritv,” has a right to “ nullify within its own *- ? ° limits.” I; Upon this last it may be necessary to say but . ia word. A s’ate entitled to “ judge lor itself. as well of infractions, as the mode and measure : of redress,” cannot part with its sovereignty j b without becoming dependent) to any other state, so as to make that other the judge of its violated riffhts. A submission of tins kind im- ' > plies an obligation to abide by the award, and such a course every body must perceive re quires a state to give up its own-judgment & , the decision of one who,may not have hart die i iisame interest at stake, or any thing like a p:o-; ; / ;j| per knowledge of the bearings of that interest. • ’ Wha 4 would have been ’he cons quence if Gey, f’ Troup had waited till he should have submitred I the case of the old and new treaty to a conven i tion of southern states, or if Governor Lump -1 kin had done the same thing in relation to the > missionaries or the survey of the Cherokee na tion ? Think you not the decision would have been against us ? And- what security lias any state against any other result, when she Trusts . her sovereign powers to an arbitration ? I sub scribe most unequivocally to the doctrine con tained in. the above throe points, and conse quently I am for a convention of the people of the s*ate to determine the best method of remov ■ ing the burthens imposed by this unconstitution al, usurped, and unjust law, and whatever that method may be, I feel bound to submit to it. If however you would ask me what my plan would be, if I were in that convention, I am rea dy to give it, though I should he willing to yield it for any other, which the prudence and good sense of that convention might detail. I would declare the law unconstitutional, and therefore ''■ null and void. That 1 would notify the general ; government of this fact, and that if the law was not repealed, or modified, so as to lay a reve nue duty only, which should be adequate to the just wants of the government, on or before the last day of the first session of the next Con gress, that is to say, in the year 1834, and if, j further, it should attempt to enforce the law as-j ‘j ter that time, thus un repealed or unmodified,! within the limits of Georgia, this state would; Ibe no longer a member of the Union. This is my mode of resistance, but I am free to confess,! | that I am prepared for any and all other modes j that will ri Jus of the oppression. We have, tried begging till I am tired—wo have tried re-! monstrating till I am disgusted—we have tried! jj reasoning till I am disheartened —we have tried ! I threatening till I am ashamed, and all this has JI been going on for the last twelve years, till the; ! advocates of the system, hardened and confirm j ed in their encroachments, declare it is fixed As | |forever settled. Now 1 urn for resistance, and. j never to cease till we strangle the monster, or-jj i get out of reach of its mischief. L These, gentlemen, are my “ sentiments in re- I gard to nullification,” and though they may Hit- j j for from yours, yet if I know my own heart, I I have not a solitary wish to disturb one single : view you may have upon this subject, and I re joice that this feeling of mine fully sustains me in the,declaration, that I entertain no spirit of proscription against any one who differs from me in opinion. As your meeting, by your re solutions, was intended to influence the approach ; ing elections, I must beg leave to enter an ap peal from your tribunal to the much higher! court of that of the good people of Georgia,l and to them the balance of my remarks will be ■ addressed. in some public character or other, I haven served you for twenty-five years, and though I may not have satisfied you, 1 know I have never deceived you. I hope I have given sufficient | proof that the love of office has not induced me j to shape my opinions to conciliate popular favor. I am proud oi' your confidence, Rut y©u could not desire me to possess it. at the expense of my independence. If in my late service I have ad-! vanced opinions on the floor of Congress you! do not approve, or I have misrepresented your sentiments to your oppressors, you ought to turn j me out. Undeceive them as quick as it is your power to do so, and I have no dffiibt they j will greatly rejoice at. i,t. It will be an act a-; like due to their superior discernment of your | views, as well as to yo-ur own sincerity, and it will be certainly a just, though a severe rebuke to my want of-fidelity. But let me pray you; not to be deceived by the mere force of words.; You cannot be made to believe that Congress has any thing to do with nullification, or that! i your liberties are in danger from the docti-mc j in that body. Depend upon it, whenever a vote; shall be taken in Congress to nullify the tariff’! system, it would well behoove you to have asj many nullifters there as possible. Vcm owe it; to your understandings to make this enquiry,! “ what possible harm can a nullifier do us in H Congress”] Perhaps, of all the places in the; world it is the one where he could do the lea.st; harm ; and if even Congress should attempt to force the tarffT upon the South by arms, it is the one which might be able to do the most good. I At least there would be more dependence upon; bis vote to withhold the necessary supplies, than; upon that of an auti-nullifier. It. is only at home you have to dread him, if there be need; for dread at all. But you may rely upon it, I there is nothing in that name, hostile to your li-[ berty, which originated with the greatest friend! I liberty has ever bad on this side of the Atlan- j jticocefui. Though a constant effort is made to; throw around the word nullification the greatest j possible odiuhi, and to render it another name! for treason, yet did not Mr. Jefferson so con ceive it. It was employed to rid ourselves of the unconstitutional acts of Great-Britain ; jit was recommended by this immortal sage .to subvert the tyranny ot the sedition law ; « lit has been successfully practised in our own ! state, and I affirm that many other cases can be adduced from other states. It means, it can mean nothing more than, disobedience to arbitra ry and oppressive laws, and in that sense is there a man among you longer prepared to obey an , edict that exacts half the fruits of your labour, and forces from your honest ploughman such aj slavish contribution as that every furrow which he runs, under the scorching beams of a sum mer’s sun, yield’s its produce to a northern na bob ? Who is there that-is not willing to wage an interminable war against an extortion that subjects you, your property and your posterity, to a tribute limited only by an interest that has been deaf to reason, dead to sympathy, blind to| justice, and bent only upon the full fruition of; its unholy desires ? Would to God you could| have personally witnessed the late deliberations of Congress. I tell you by all that is holy in L heaven, that this protective system is dictated ' by the manufacturers themselves, that they at-; tend by committees, and agents, aroundthe halls; ■of Congress, for the purpose ot giving ins'ruc-, ij tions to members of Congress, as to what must! 1; be taxed, what must be free, and what must be; ' the quantity of the burthens. I tell you in the; I same sacred manner, that members of Congress ( jj rise from their places, and deliberately drawing fi from their desks letters received from their ! manufacturing constituents, will read out their demands for an increase of taxes, and they are as deliberately granted, against the ardent and ; repeated remonstrances of your protesting re presentatives. I tell you solemnly, that it is not an uncommon thing for those members, friendly j! to the manufacturers, to fix the rate of duty on ! one dav, and then change it to a higher amount :'on the next day, at the mere instigation of man- j : ufacturing agents. I tell you that they assert on the floor of Congress, that the protective sys tem shall never be repealed, & give as a reason ij t [ Klt j- W as imposed by the south, that the nation ■ is now pledged to continue it, that the manufac- ; turers have two hundred millions of money in-., vested in the business, that to take off the sys- j tem would bankrupt the capitalists, blast the ' ; prospects of the farmers, btfggar the operatives j ij i u the Factories, and, in fine, reduce the manu-J * ijtW'lurlnsr districts to communities of paupers ••id ra her than submit to such a state ofthings I th.-y s v tht-v are willing to dissolve the Union They present Ihe alternative that YOU 01 THEY must submit, and they most solemnly rL dare they shall not. What hope have you front a prospect so gloomy, if you can believe my testimony ? And if in charity you may yet flat ter yourselves that, I am deceived, if my delu sion is honest, can you blame me for my earnest ness in the cause ? Have I not as much at stake as you have 7 Have I not the same country? Have I not a home and a family among you, whose ail is periled ns well as yours ? Nay, more: have I net an interest, different from 1 yours, the greatest monied interest I possess in !the world, protected, in common with other jmonopolies, by this very system ? Had 1 not ! reason to believe that I had, in an enlarged de- Igree, acquired vour kind indulgence and in icreased confidence? Could I not have returned home, and by a silent, selfish course, enjoyed |my property and popularity free from the dan ger of losing cither, if I had been disposed to consider these as the only objects worth regard, jor the chief rewards of a generous and confiding people ? Under circumstances like these, mine iindeed must boa fatal infatuation, but only ac ;cord to me, what before heaven is true, an hon jest intention, and you may take back your trust | to-morrow. I will yield if without a murmur, and the consolation shall be mine, that I can i live under any government that you can, and | will have closed a political life free from the re proaches of conscience. A. S. CLAYTON. To tltc Anti-Tariff' Men of Georgia, South- Carolina and Alabama. You are respectfully, but earnestly solicited to attend a public dinner to be given by the citizens of Muscogee County, on Thursday, the 13th day of September next. The object in view, is to as semble as many of our fellow-citizens ofthis and the adjoining States as can conveniently attend, to take into consideration the burthens and op pressions under which the Southern States are suffering in consequence of the misnamed “ Ame rican System. The aspect of public affairs, indi cates most clearly, that an important crisis is at hand, which requires a free and full expression of public sentiment and unity of action, with re gard to those topics which mostly interest the people of the South. We have to contend against insulting and oppressive usurpations of the Gen eral Government, and to check its tendency to consolidation ; that we may contend wisely and successfully, the combined wisdom of the South should be made known by a free interchange of opinions in devising the “ mode and measure of redress.” It is fully conceded on all hands, (at least in the South and by Southern men,) that a Tariff of protection is rx c o xsxirr tioxal . If it is uq constitutional, it is no law —it. is a dead letter—in plain language, it is null axd void. Hence we must infer, that we are not bound by its opera, tions.—Many of our most distinguished politicians of South-Garodna, Alabama and Georgia, hav ing signified their acceptance of special invita tions to attend cur meeting, we now invite every free citizen of the South, who hold the like views, | together with all such as have not investigated! the subject, so as io have formed opposite con clusions, to assemble with us, to hear counsel, in terchange sentiments and opinions, that there may be an unity and concert of action, in cast ing off those burthens which impoverish and enslave us—“ wdiich are subversive of the cou sfkution, and violative of our, rights, and hence destructive io our liberties.” James W.

(During the ensuing session of the Legislature.) The Journal Os the Proceedings of the Legislature of Geti. •find History of the Times, BY M. D. J. SLADE, OF MACON, Ga. “ Lege totum, sci vis srire Mum." —“ Read all, if yot' would know all.” *' r mm THE people of Georgia are much in want of a me. dium of intelligence which will promptly transmit to them the “ Proceedings-” of their Legislature. We are not only generally, but individually concerned in all • acts of legislation, because these acta involve personal as well as jiolitical rights, between which there ex ists a most intimate connexion. It is the interest then, of every man in the community to be timely acquainted with the action of our representatives upon these rights. This is a desideratum —to supply which the Journal is intended. At the present we labor under much incon venience for the want of it. For near, and sometimes more than three months after the expiration of the Sea, sion, the Laws of the State, with a few exceptions, arsy ns a “ scaled Book” to the great mass of the people; and frequently, such are the injurious effects produced by this delay, that men have been known, who, in obe-' dience to a preceding, have actually violated a subse quent law which had been reversed or modified—nos knowing that a new had been submitted for an old law. In addition to the entire proceedings of the Legisla ture, the Journal and History, will contain the gener al intelligence of the day, and its interest will be in creased by faithful reports of the transactions of thd important Redress Convention of Georgia, which con templates sitting in Milledgevillc, the ensuing session. '/’he Debates in the Convention, as well as those in the Legislature, will be regularly and correctly reported? fur which purpose arrangements are making with a ca-, pable and experienced .Stenographer. The Journal and History of the Times, will be pub.' lished daily, and the Legislative and Conventional Pro-* ceedings of each day laid in extenso before the public on the subsequent, morning, and immediately transmitted to any pan of the ’ State to which the paper may be or dered. The large and interesting mass of information which this Publication will contain, and the great expense which must be incurred to carry it into operation will require a liberal patronage, and such a patronage the editor himself will bo extended to him. It is unnecessary to enlarge on the convenience and important utility of such a publication to members of the Legislature, in enabling them to ascertain immediately the precise state of any measure in which they are in terested and to keep their constituents advised of the progress of public business, without the abstraction of time and attention from their special duties, expended, in letter writing. 7 , j Terms. — The Journal and History of the Times will be publised daily with a new type, by machinery, to be expressly procured for the purpose and on good paper,' and will be put to subscribers at the price of Five Dol lars per session, payable on the reception of the first number. I]~f* Those to whom subscription lists will be sent arc respectfully asked to lend their exertions and influence to the undertaking, and to make a return of any subscri bers which may he obtained, by the lOt/t day of Octo her. They are particularly requested to do so, that tho Editor may be enabled to make the proper and to furnish promptly the first numbers to each sub scriber. , >l. D. J. SLADfi Will continue to publish the Macon Advertiser, as heretofore ; and assures his patrons and the public that so far from the interference or conflict of the above pub lication with the interest and management of the Ad,‘ vertiser, that he d signs and believes that the fotmer. will greatly improve the latter. The Advertiser shajl lacklbr none of that attention, which the editor flatteye himself has entitled it to the kind and cheering patron age which has been so liberally extended to it. The Advertiser will continue to be published weekly in the summer and tri-weekly in the winter, at the price of Five Dollars per annum, payable in advance.
