BULLOCH COUNTY. Resolutions adopted at a meeting held on the ith September in Statesboro’, Mulichi Denmark, Chairman, and William B. Burt and Shcpperd Williams Secretaries. Resolved therefore , 7'lmt w c aro uncondition ally opposed to a redresw of the grievances un der which we labour by the hazardous and dan- jj geroua remedy of nullification, and that we con siderit neither a peaceful, rightful or constitu tional remedy. Resolved, That we are entirely opposed to a protective turitT system, and that we, as tree-, non and patriots, will employ all means and en ergies oonaislent with the integrity, perpetuity and duration of our uwa happy, free aui belov ed country, to accomplish its abolition. Re tolled, That wo co nsider tho dissamiua-1 toon and establishment of the doctrine of nulli fication, by the enemies of Goo. iackw*n, as eovartiy designed to defeat or embarrass his re election, and that wo pledge ourselves to be I more zealous and active in his support. Resolved, That considering the doctrine of Nullification false in theory, and believing that in practice it would prove most disastrous to our' country, we pledge ourselves not to support any > candidate either for Congress or the State Leg is-! laturo, who is au advocate of that doctrine. Resolved , That we have sueu with extreme i rogrol the hasty and unfounded objections which | have been urged against our Senator and Re presentative, Messrs. Forsyth and Wayne, who still retain our entire confidence for the ability and zeal manifested by them during the lust ses sion of Congress. Resolved , That we will appoint * delegate to the meeting to he held in Miliedgevillo on the 3d Monday in November next, with power only to respectfully solicit a repeal of the oppressive tariff, and that he Ikj strictly directed to oppose any unconstitutional measure. Resolved, That our proceedings ho published i in the Savannah (Georgian and Federal Union , of Miliedgevillo, and that the thanks of this meeting bo presented to the Chairman and Se cretaries, and tliat the proceedings l>o signed by the Chairman and countersigned by the Secre taries. HOUSTON COUNTY. 1 Resolutions adopted at the mooting held on the i 10th September, in Porry, Walter L. Campbell, I Chairman, Joshua Pattishall, Secretary, f Resolved, That we will send Delegates to the Convention, to bo elected on the first Monday in October, and they arc hereby instructed nad commanded, strictly to pursue the course mark ed out in the foregoing preamble and these rcso lations, that they use their hast efforts to pro mote our views, and, in no case, to depart from them. Resolved , That should our Delegates perceive that the Convention is likely to adopt measures contrary to our views, they aro required to usu al! their influence to counteract such a result, and if they cannot succeed, they are to protest against the proceedings of the Convention and withdraw from it, that tho people of Houston I county may not be implicated in any measure connected with nullification. Resolved, That wo will not he bound by any course or proceeding the Convention may adopt, unless it be approved and received by tha people in their respective counties. Resolved, That our Delegates use all their a bility in such away as may comport with the views herein expressed, of continuing the reduc tion of tho Tariff duties, until they shall be re duced to a standard that will meet the exigencies of tho government. Resolved , That fearing, ns we do, that much of tho excitement prevailing is got up for the purpose of affecting and counteracting the re-e --lection of General Andrew Jackson, that our delegates have an eye to that event in all they do in the Convention, and endeavor to remove every obstacle that may bo attempted to be thrown in the way of that much wished-for re mit, and use all honorable means to further and promote it. Resolved, That wc will not support for any office of honor or profit, any man that has al ready, or may hereafter, embrace, as correct, the doctrines of nullification or secession. CAMDEN COUNTY. Resolutions adopted at a meeting held on the Wth September in Jefferson, Chairman, Robert Paxtcn, Secretary. On theso grounds wc have come to the fol lowing Resolutions : Wo consider the Tariff of 1829 unconstitu tional and unequal—though primitively father-! edby Mr. John C. Calhoun. 'That wc considerj the Tariff of 1832, oppressive and partial, yet | wo think it much better than the former one, the declaration of Nullifiers to the contrary, not withstanding. That wo have understood that Nullification' was originated by native born subjects of (treat Britain, in South-Garolina, which if a fact, while j these gentlemen deserve well of their King and Parliament, and will Ih> suitably rewarded for their ingenuity and loyalty, if they served in de stroying tho great rival of their Country, wc must declare, that when we fool oppressed in common with citizens of the other Southern States, and without any hopes of relief, that wo I would recommend at once a Convention from all I these Stales, to obtain either a redress or a sepa ration forever from those States who refuse it. Every man would then know what he was do! ittg, and what he had to expect. But the in-1 sidious and Syren tongue of Nullification, as it 1 affects the cars of many citizens, is as deceptive,! as it would be destructive to our happiness, and I ruinous to our Country. That we cannot concur with the Committee jh in having a Convention of any kind, particularly : one whose powers are indefinite—such a trust was never before asked for by half a dozen citi-! zens or given by freemen.—We think that our Legislature have power enough to meet any exi gences of the present moment. These Resolutions being agreed to, it was further Resolved f, that we otfer thanks to Messrs. : Forsjth and W a_\ no for the independent and consistent vote, which they gave on the last Taritf question. Ihe meeting then adjourned, desiring that the - Secretary would have these proceedings pub-' 1 nehed m the Savannah Georgian, l GLYNN COUNTY. . Resolutions adopted at a meeting held on lb* I 1 15th September, at the Hussar Muster Ground,! jCol. John Burnet, Chairman, Dr. If. D. Holland, Secretary. Resolved , That wc believe the tariff law, re cently enacted, although ameliorated in its ac -1 tion, to be still impolitic in principle, unequal in its operations, and therefore in violation of the bj-irit of the constitution: and that we will cor ,bally support any safe and constitutional means fur obtaining the final abandonment of the prin ciple of protection. Resolved, That we believe the doctrine of Nullification to he false in theory and danger ous iu practice —unsupported either by the con stitution or natural rights, and while promising peace, unavoidably leading either to disunion or civil war. Resolved , therefore. That we exact a pledge from our representatives to the Legislature, and 1 from our delegates to the proposed State Con vention, that they will use their most strenuous endeavors to oppose that political heresy. Resolved, That a State Convention clothed i with the powers recommended by the meeting : at Athens, is, in our opinion, at this time inex pedient and dangerous, and that wc disapprove jof it. Should such a convention however be \ || called hv a majority of the counties, wu deem it j proper to he represented in it. Resolved, however. That wo protest against j I the assumption by that body of any powers other than those of deliberation and recommendation; ■ and that wq enjoin on our delegates to sustain in it the principles of this preamble and theso reso- : lutions. Resolved, That we deem it highly desirable \ i ut this time, while public opinion is distracted by i conflicting modes of redress, and when passion isj 1 roused on the one hand by injustice, and on the other by dangerous and inflammatory doctrines,! that resort should be had to some mode of con centrating the opinion, and giving a safe direc- j \ tion to the action of the States opposed to the [ tariff. Resolved, That we believe that a general con ! tion of all the States opposed to the taritf, with : powers limited to deliberation and recommenda i tion, will accomplish their objects ; and that therefore the call of such a convention will meat with an entire concurrence. Resolved, That the voles on the recently en acted tariff law of our senator and representa tive in Congress, Messrs. Forsyth and Wayne, meet with our full approbation. —That we per ceive in them an evidence of manly sense as well as a solicitude for the interests of their con . stituents; and that they are therefore entitled to an increased confidence in their patriotism, zeal and ability. Resolved, That wc regard the re-election of Andrew Jackson to the Presidency ns deeply promotive of the permanence of this Union; and as most important for the maintenance of those rights for which we are now contending. Which were unanimously adopted, except that in reprobation of tho doctrine of Nullifica tion, to which there was one dissenting voice, & that a qualified one, and also one in opposition to the Bth Resolution. After the adoption of the Preamble and Resolutions submitted by the Com mittee, Colonel D. M. Stewart offered the fol lowing resolutions, which were approved of by a large majority : Resolved, That consistency in politics, as in other matters, i« the road to safety, honor and success; that we will he consistent and never sacrifice principle to policy, and that therefore wc cannot support Martin Van Ruren for Vice President of the United States, ha having ever identified himself with those, opposed to the in terest of the south; but we will use all honorable means to secure the election of Philip P. Bar hour, of Virginia. 1 Resolved, That a committee of three he ap pointed, which committee shall he J. Hamilton Couper, Robert Hazlehurst and H. D. Holland, Esqrs. for the purpose of causing these resolu tions to he published in the Savannah Georgian and Federal Union. PULASKI COUNTY. Resolutions adopted at a meeting hsld in Hartford, John Rawls, Chairman, D. B. Hal stod, Secretary. Re it therefore resolved. That we will use all constitutional and rightful means in our power to be freed from the evils of tho tariff laws now of force, as in the opinion of this meeting, the con stitution does not warrant the construction which has been given it by Congress ; and that we con ceive the tariff law unjust and unequal, operat ing to the exclusive injury of the commercial and agricultural interests of the country, for the sole benefit of tho manufacturing. Resolved, That wc are opposed to Nullifica tion, as being neither a constitutional, nor a peaceable remedy against the Tariff Law ; and that we believe the evils calculated to result from its application will be infinitely more op pressive on tho South than the existing Tariff. Resolved, That the avowal of Nullification operates to the injury of the election of that distinguished patriot and friend of Southern rights, Gen. Andrew Jackson, and therefore, as the consequential support of Henry Clay, the father and foster mother of In’s favorite “ Ame rican System and wc regret to witness the promulgation (in this State) of doctrines calcula. ted only to disturb the repose of the good peo ple of this country, and forward tho views of those opposed to Gen. Jackson’s administration. Resolved, That wc recommend to tho good i people of this county to elect two fit persons to j represent them at the contemplated Convention j to ho holdon in Miliedgevillo, on the second l Monday in November next, to co-operate with representatives from the other counties for the purpose ol devising some peaceable and consti tutional measure to remedy the aforesaid evil ; Provided only, that all the counties of the State are fairly represented, and that the acts of said representatives aro to bo duly ratified by the people of their counties respectively, otherwise that they pretest against the acts of any partial or unauthorised meeting. Resolved, That our confidence in the talents,; patriotism and integrity of our distinguished Sen ator and Representative John Forsyth A: James) M. Wayne, remains unshaken, and regret that unworthy motives have been attributed to their worthy and patriotic exertions in behalf of Southern interests. Am Impostor. —A man named YOUNG MIL TGN M ILSON, having in the assumed char acter ot a clergyman, fraudulently obtained several sums ot money from the good people of this place, is now probably on his travels fora rimilar object. It appears by an article of the,. Kev. Mr. Sinclair, pastor of the M. E. Church T ot Sax annah, in the last Christian Repertory, | that this man iu 1828 or 1829 being an exhor ter in the Methodist Church, was "expelled for selling goods on the Sabbath, drinking swear ing, fighting and gambling. That he married a young lady of respectability at St. Mary’s, hav ingthen a wile living and two or three children. ' That travelling with a forged testimoninial of l>eing a regularly licenced preacher of the M.' E. Church, and as agent of the Methodist Society mi Si. Augustine, lu coiM-Ci money to buiki •< | parsonage house there, he has obtained con siderable sums of money in various places: Augusta and Charleston are mentioned; andj Savannah, where he got about one hundred ano seventy dollars. How much ho obtained in Milledgeville is not known. He is described as about five feet eleven in : dies in height, rather dark blue, but not black eves, and about twenty-six years ot age “plausible,” says Mr. Sinclair, “in his appearance and conversation, though often guilty, in his mo' t wary moments, of such imprudences as would lead the judicious and sensible to suspect din. he was an impostor.” [Eds. Georgia Jour. MILLEDGEVILLE, Sept. 13th, 1832. Being convinced of the importance of aiding in detecting all impostors, and exposing their base; conduct to the world, 1 will state, in addition to the above, that on Thursday evening the 6th inst. j a man called upon me at my lodgings, and in quired if 1 (calling my name,) boarded there. 1 informed him I did, when he introduced himseself. to me as Brother V\ ilson, from St. Augustine. 1 iI invited him to my room, and was soon mlonned liby him that he was a Methodist Preacher, in feeble health, travelling for the purpose of collect ing monev to buy a parsonage in the above (own. He produced a subscription paper, which ho said was written by the Presiding Elder of the j Oconee district, and transcribed by one of the j Circuit Preachers. He also showed me a written ‘license to preach, given by the above Presiding! || Elder, the date of which Ido not recollect. Hej ! remained with me from Thursday until Tuesday L morning following, during which lime hu preach-! |ed unco, and made some private collections,! | to what amount 1 am unable toassortain. These! | circumstances have convinced me, that he is the ■ I same who is announced as an impostor, and wej have to regret that the advertisement did not ; I reacli us one week sooner, by w hich we could 1 have detected and exposed his villany. He informed me that he should go from this to |Columbus, Georgia, but he told others he was | going to Covington in Newton county. Ho will most probably change his name and occupation, or make his way to some other section w here he may accomplish his dark designs. In addition to the description given by Rev. E. Sinclair, 1 will stale that while with me, he wore a gold watch, a white hat, pretty well worn; and r dark blue cloth frock coat. He is a man of common size, & of a narrow forehead, roman i nose and of feeble appearance.

We have adopted the plan to publish the resolutions adopted at every meeting held in this state, in or- 1 , der to act justly and impartially towards all our fellow j i citizens, and in order to place before the people all the j Information in our possession respecting the political ex-; citement now prevailing in the community. The pro-! ccedinga of the meeting in Muscogee have not been as yet received by us, though they have been received i« the city on loose sheets, but none were forwarded to us.' AG K ICO L, A. We commence to-day the publication of this aide es : say, the first number of which appeared in the Rich . mond Inquirer of August 17. The Editors of that pa- I per say of the writer : “ The author of Agricola has , boon a firm, and able, and uniform supporter of the ■ doctrines of Virginia. We recommend his essay to the reader’s attention.” A friend—a Georgian of distinc tion—a man zealous in the cause of the south, and who| has rendered some service to the country —now in Vir- ; trinia, writes to us, under date of September 15 : “ The! publication of Agricola in our state, it is thought, may do much good. I know the author well. lie is one of ■ the first men in the state —one of those who acted with j the democratic party in ’9B, and has lately had a corres pondence with Mr. Madison on the subject of nullifica * tion, and Mr. M. in one of his letters, declares that this! j ’ ’ ! South-Carolina doctrine is new to him.” NEW COTTON. About 200 bales have already been received in this market. The principal sales have been made at 10 toi 10J. For a few bales of choice and strictly prime, 11; cents were •btained. —..— MEDICAL INSTITUTE OF GEORGIA. According to notice, published in this paper, the 1 course will begin on the 3d Monday in next month, which falls on the loth. Preparations for the object have been made, and are nearly completed; and the building in which the lectures are to be delivered is ready for the 1 reception and accommodation of the professors and me dical students. We learn that the opening discourse will be pronounced by Dr. Paul F. Eve. From the known talents and reputation of the professors engaged in this institution, the most sanguine expectations of its! friends, wall no doubt be realized; and no doubt also that. Georgians will support it as a Georgian Institution should be. j LAND LOTTE 1% V . The Georgia Journal of the 20th instant, informs us : | that all the surveyors have completed their surveys, and i all but one or two made their returns, and that the draw ; ing of the Lottery may commence by the 10th of next month. ALABAMA. \ It seems that in Alabama the citizens have common ccdtohold meetings, to take into consideration, the all absorbing subject of the tariff and nullification. A ij meeting was held on the 3d instant in Marion, Perry i County, at which, among others, the following resolu- ‘ ! tions were adopted : j “Be it resolved. That we will heartily unite in such measures as the Southern States may believe best cal ! culated to afford redress against the odious A oppressive j Tariff “ Resolved , That as respects the Tariff, we highly dis i approve of the policy advocated by some, that a single si State should judge of, and act upon the mode and mea j sure of redress ; but should consent and act in concert with her equally oppressed sister States. “ Resolved , That we consider “ Nullification” neither a constitutional nor peaceable remedy, but view it as a dangerous political heresy.” NORTH-CAHOLINA. A numerous meeting was held in Hillsborough, O range county, on the 12:h instant, at which Duncan Cam eron, Esq. presided. Among the citizens present, and 1 who took part in the debate, were Judire J, r a3 h t the Hon. j D L- Barringer, member of l ojtrress, and the Hon. W. I’. Maugum, »«-nalor in Congress. Judg«. -'ash oi l t I. red the following resolution which was unanimously j i adopted : . f Resolved, That our attachment to the Federal I nton i remains unshaken; and that wo wholly disapprove ot, \ and deprecate the doctrine of Nullification, as unconsti- j ; tutional, and as having a direct tendency, it reduced to practice, to sever the bonds which now unite us loge liier as one great and powerful nation. This resolution was supported by Judge Nash, who “ exposed the guilt, folly and madness of Nullification, showing that it would 1 'ad to rebellion, civil war and a train of miseries, from the contemplation of which the imagination shrunk hack with shuddering and horror ”|j Mr. Barringer “unmasked nullification —he exhibited; i;s absurdity by some new views and striking illustra-'j tions. He declared to the meeting, that time after time, he had been urged to enlist under the banner ot the | Nullifiers, but that he had resisted their often-repeated ' advances in the most positive and determined manner. , | ••Mr. Man gum said he had been charged by his enemies, |1 whether through ignorance or ni dice he knew not, with j, being a nullifier; but he spumed the charge from hiinjj . with indignation—his opinion had been formed upon the j j subject for more than two years, and had since under-j; .r.tne no change whatever. He viewed it as a rank ab- h 1(0 D , surdity, which had made no favourable impression upon,| the people of North-Garoiitia. As far as he was in formed, thev were opposed to it almost to unanimity, he had heard sonic two or three individuals colled nullifiers 11—he l;new but one in the whole state.” ** OCCASIONAL REVIEWS.” We concluded in our hist the first number of a series | of reviews, on the great topics of the day, said to be I frois the pen of Mr. Langdon Cheves. Tho Southern Patriot of the 20th instant, contains the following para graph respecting the second number of these reviews. “ The second number of this scries of Reviews ' is now in the Brcss, nnd will bo published on! Thursday. Tho topics bandied in this number j are Nullification and its consequences. The 1 whole subject is treated in a masterly manner, | showing that Nullification has no warrant, either I; expressly or impliedly in the constitution of thef United States —that it is “ uusustainod and un- j sheltered” by Virginia, Kentucky,or Mr. .Teller-1 son —that it amounts to an abrogation of State j Sovereignty, by virtue of which it pretends to act —that it is not peaceable, and threatens a' sejMiration of South Carolina from the I nion, j and that its probable effects arc civil war with' all its concomitant horrors. We earnestly im- i plore our fellow citizens to procure this highly important publication, and peruse and “ inward ly digest” its contents, emanating as it does from a man who has evidently re Hoc ted much and deeply on the subject, who is an ardent supporter j ofthc Sovereignty of the States, who deems the i Tariff’ policy a wrong and an insult to that Sovereignty, but who is for uniting the whole South in tho means of redressing that wrong and avenging that insult.” N. I>. Since the above was put in typo, we have re- ! ceived the second number of this Review. As soon as wc can make room for it, we shall lay it before our ren ders. POLITICAL CONSISTENCE. IT 1. j A few of our political friends have expressed some j displctisurc at the course we have thought proper to j pursue, in the management of this paper. They knve j gone so far as to say that we had, in some instance, dc- j viated from the principles which we formerly advocated, j Coming (rom men for whom we have the highest res- | peet, and whose friendship and good opinion are duly ; appreciated, suck an expression of our conduct, iti the | discharge of what wo conceived an imperious duty, de. i mauds from us a few explanatory remarks, in order to show that ire have been consistent in our political course, and that, on comparing what we wrote ten years ago, with what we have very lately written, no difference in opinion, principles and political doctrines, can he detect ed, and no inconsistencies established. On the contra ry, the fact, the glaring fact, would strike the mind of the reader, that what wo wrote ten years ago would he ap plicable to the present times, & that what we have lately | written would have met tho warm approbation of our i j friends ten years ago; while the political doctrines ad- ; i vocated r.t the present day by a few of those friends, j ! would, ten years ago, have been considered as highly i I treasonable, or as originating from minds imbued with j 1 the principles of French Jacobinism. o It must be admitted by our friends, that the line o r i | demarcation, between the two great parties iuthe state, j I originated with General Clark, in his enmity to Mr. I Crawford. It must he admitted also, that Gen. Clark I ; and his friends, never could prevent Mr. Crawford from j | rising in the estimation of the people, and from being j | the peculiar object of their favours. Mr. Crawford ' rose to distinction, not only in his own state, but in the j United States, notwithstanding the untiring exertions of | his enemies ; he rose on account of his superior talents, 1 1 and of the political principles which he entertained, and I he became thereby the favorite of the people of the south. | Shortly after the entrance of Mr. Crawford into the po j Htical circles of Washington City, Mr. Calhoun entered the political arena, and at once distinguished himself as a statesman. Possessing abilities of the first order, it j was not surprising, that he should compete with others ; of equal abilities, for distinction and preferment. Mr. i Calhoun soon perceived that Mr. Crawford, coming - from the same section of country (hat he did, would be II material obstacle to the accomplishment of his ambiti ous views. Hence tho enmity which Mr. Calhoun in-! dulged towards Mr. Crawford, and which to this day has j been constantly manifested by that gentleman, not only to- i : wards Mr. Crawford himself, but towards all those po ! litical friends who supported him and acted with Idm. j | i This enmity suggested to Mr. Calhoun the plan of us-, I : | ing a portion of the people of Georgia, as an engine of'! destruction to Mr. Crawford and his friends. Hence, i 1 the advances made by Mr. Calhoun to Gen. Clark, for a j j I union among themselves, the ostensible and real object j' of which was to destroy the popularity of Mr. Craw- j' ford in Georgia, and the ascendency of his friends, be- 1 lieving that, by destroying him in Georgia, the destruc- ! 1 tion of his influence in the Union would soon follow. ’ It must be observed also, that while these machinations ' were preparing for action in the south, Mr. Calhoun, in I • opposition to Mr. Crawford’s political principles, ad- 1 , vanccd on the floor of Congress, in his published let- 1 | ters, nnd in conversations, principles diametrically oppo- 1 ! sue to those advanced by Mr. Crawford and the party ' to which he was attached. Mr. Crawford advocated a 1 strict and literal construction ot the federal constitu. ! tion, Mr. Calhoun established and supported the latitu dinarian construction of that instrument. Mr. Craw- ‘ ford advocated economy and simplicity, in the adminis- 1 (ration of the concerns of the Union; Mr. Calhoun re. 1 ! commended and supported an extravagant disburse- 1 memos the public treasure, and the establishment of a ’ | splendid administration of the federal government. Thus 1 it is perceived that the principles which separated Mr. 8 j Crawford and his friends, from Mr. Calhoun and his ‘ i friends, \. ere as much at variance as polical principles j[ could possibly be in this country; and to this difference !< ;in political principles, must he added the machinations | f of Mr. Calhoun and his friends in Georgia, to destroy < the reputation oi Mr. ( rawford and the party of which f he was the most prominent member. j < T 3. j t From this brief sketch, it will be seen that the friends ! i of Mr. Crawford in Georgia, essentially the republican f i partj, supported zealously this gentleman for his prin- t ciples. Ins talents, and his virtues, and opposed Mr. if t alhoun, tor his latitudinarian principles, his inordinate 1 1 and selfish ambition, his hostility to Georgia, and his c machinations to put down the best men our state ever i produced. Mr. Calhoun was successfully opposed, his L trienus in the state were driven from office, and be- j t came the party in minority. Duruig all this time the (t party to which wc belong, stood fast to principles; and '• the period union which existed among ‘hem, insured complete succeed in any measure that Was undertaken lor the good of the stale. And in carrying a political measure into effect, no assistance was asked from a broad, because that measure was strictly within the provisions of the federal constitution, and adopted in accordance with the rights which the states reserved to themselves when they confederated: acquiescence in the measure, consequently, became a matter of course, and was expected from all parties interested. And dur ing this time, the reputation of Mr. Calhoun in Georgia, was held in the same estimation ; and the same opposi tion to his principles and to his ambition, was as strong as it had ever been ; for notwithstanding the defeat and minority of his party in Georgia, he continued to on tert.iin the same hostility to Mr. Crawford and to the republican party, which he had succeeded in imparting to many influential citizens in the state. 11 4. Has Mr. Calhoun ceased his hostility to Mr. Craw ford, and to the republican party in Georgia? No lias Mr. Calhoun changed his latitudinarian principles : No. We have seen in the correspondence which sprung up from the dissolution of General Jacksons cabinet, that he entertains the same hostility towards Mr. Craw ford. which lie formerly did; and we have not seen as ' yet from him, an avowal of a change of principles, in regard to the latitudinarian manner of construing the : federal constitution. On the contrary, by the birth of the doctrine of nullification, he has added to his fame as a skillul and ingenious expounder of the constitu tion; for the doctrine of nullification could come but from the brains of one who first asserted on the floor of Congress, that the federal government had the power to protect manufactures by duties on imposts, to carry on a system of hitemal improvements in every state of th® Union, and to tax the people to such an extent as !to raise a revenue sufficient to render the government as splendid as any in the world. If thentho same hos. tility towards Georgia still exists in tho breast of Mr. Calhoun, and against the friends of Mr. Crawford; if Air. Calhoun entertains the same latitudinarian doc trines; why should we not oppose him uotn, as wc did ten years ago, especially since be is the founder ot a doctrine as destructive of the public institutions of the 'country, as his principles respecting a splendid gov. i eminent and a general system of internal improve ment, are subversive of that economy and simplicity which alone can perpetuate the free government under which we now so happily live ? Notwithstanding the machinations and intrigues of Mr. Calhoun in Georgia, first with (fen. Clark and his friends, in order to destroy the reputation and influence of Mr. Crawford, whom he thought in his way to the Presidency; and, second with a few of the former friends of Mr. Crawford, (since he found that tho leaders of the Clark party would not join him in his endeavours to accomplish his ambitious views,) who under the popular ground of maintaining the rights of the state and of resisting the injurious es ; fccts of the tariff, act with him, in order to destroy the | prospects of General Jackson’s election, by producing a j commotion in the southern states, and a convulsion of ! pnblicent siment among the fast friends of the Union. Notwithstanding all this, the administration of the state government, and the public feeling, went on in concert, opposing, when Mr. Adams was President and adminis j tering splendidly and energetically the executive de \ partmeut of the federal government, and approving, when the good sense of the people placed General Jack non in the Presidential chair. I IT 5. i Th* conclusion to he drawn from these remarks, ne cessarily follows: that tee, who have ten years ago, as I well as in the intermediate time, opposed Mr. Calhoun : and his principles, and denounced him as a dangerous i citizen ; with a strict adherence to principles, and with a consistency as unshaken as it is honest, oppose him | note, because nothing has come to our knowledge which j could convince us that he lias changed the pernicious 'principles he once entertained, and that he had abstained | from employing among our people those arts and that I intrigue, which alone have sustained him, hut of which (the people of the United States have now such a good | knowledge, that he will never be able to retrieve the .high reputation he once enjoyed in the country. We I say, his machinations and intrigue in Georgia. Our ; friends will not deny that, if it had not been for the machinations and intrigue of Mr. Calhoun in our state, more union would have prevailed among the people, and the contentions which, in some instances, defeated ; the wisest measures, would have never taken place. New will they deny, that Mr. Calhoun and his friends, arc the prime movers of the public excitement now felt in our state ? Wc have been censured because wc coupled tho name of Mr. Calhoun with the doctrine of nullification, and a desire on his part .and that of his friends, to witness the dissolution of the Union. For more than twelve years past Mr. Calhoun has, by his intrigues, agitated the minds of the people of Georgia; and ho will not cease to meddle with the local politics of Geor gia, until a universal expression against him, convinces him of the utter mefficacy of his arts and schemes a mong us. IT G. We remarked above, that we believed Mr. Calhoun | and his friends to he the prime movers of the present public excitement in Georgia. In proof of the asser-1 tion, we shall offer a few observations. It is a lamen-1 table fact, that, whenever Mr. Calhoun was concerned 1 in any measure, or recommended any principle, divisions among the people inevitably arose. And it is another I fact, that, whenever a measure was adopted, in direct op position to his views and principles, union among the I people was the result. Before the Athens meeting, | there was a union of feeling in Georgia, respecting the j protective system, which would have rendered our re- I sistance to it as effective as tho friends of state rights ! could wish. No rash, nor unconstitutional measures, I were thought of or contemplated. The Athens meet ing took place, by the suggestion of the spirit hy which i Mr. Calhoun has been actuated in his political life, and the whole state was immediately in commotion. Meet-' ings have been already, and will no doubt be held in every county of the state, and a convention will assem- 1 hie, to take into consideration the tariff’ enacted for tho I protection of manufactures. This Athens meeting has i estranged men who formerly acted together, and who were personal friends. This Athens meeting has pro duced a revolution in public sentiment, with regard to party distinctions, which may change the policy which the state has hitherto pursued. This Athens meeting has enabled Mr. Calhoun and his friends, to introduce theif pernicious doctrines among os, and which arc ad vocated by men who, until now, ware as opposed to , those doctrines as we still are. Now, we appeal to tho sober sense of the people of Georgia, why this excite-1 ment; why these meetings ; why this convention ? Arc ! our liberties in imminent danger ? Has the state been ! threatened with an army of rnvaders by the federal go vernment? When in 1825 and 1826, by the intrigues and machinations of Mr. Calhoun, the state of Georgia was in danger of being invaded hy the United States’ army, were meetings held in any of tho counties of the state, p i did a convention assemble, to take into consi-! deration, the insults and threats of Mr. Adams and General Gaines ? Was not Georgia in greater danger! then, than now ? Were the people more united then, ! than they were before the Athens meeting ? No. Then, '■ only a majority of the people of Georgia were for re sisting the threats of Mr. Adams, and for carrying into | effect the provisions of the old treaty. Before the A-' thens meeting a union prevailed among the people of -11 parties. The extension of the jurisdiction of the state laws over the Cherokee territory ; the survey of the land ; the drawing of the lottery ; and the disre gard of the decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States ; are measures which have been, and will be carried into full effect, without meetings of the people in fiery county of tne state, and without a convention. And who will say, that these measures—these impor tant concerns; that the Creek Treaty—the vast and now populous country, which in 182 G was a wilderness; s he Cherokee Territory, the most important section q{ the state of Georgia— are of hsa consequence tb,-^ Tariff’! ! The fact is. that as regarded the Creek Tro ty and the Crook land, and as regards the CHcrok^' ! Territory, Mr. Calhoun was and is opposed to Geor and consequently we managed the Creek affair, ars j now manage tho Cherokee concern, without eici; I ment among our people, and with a perfect understands among the influential men of the state. Not so, regard to the tariff. Mr. Calhoun, thinking that he make that matter subserve his views of anrhitw-n, hy a .' pealing to the well known feelings of the people 0 f Georgia in regard to the protective system, gi TCS ; structions to his friends how to act. Emissaries ifo ; all over the state, tracts arc scattered every where • the Athens meeting takes place, and the state is thr-w --’ into a most extraordinary agitation. And for what, f - the tariff; while no meetings took place, no i 1 assembled, when Georgia was threatened with fedenj j bayonets—when in fact a Major General of the United I States Army, was already within the territory „f state, insulting and abusing the chief magistrate of „ a | independent and sovereign state. The finger of jj. Calhoun is plainly to be seen in the present excitement 1 of the public mind. His intriguing spirit lias product this division, momentary we sincerely hope, among th* ’ republican party ; for let our friends bear in mind, tha; H this gentleman can never he President of the l T nited 11 States without the support of Georgia. Tho agitation I of the public mind is fast subsiding ; the sober sense „r I the people of Georgia, their intelligence, ami their ha. I trod of intrigue and political manoeuvres, begin to work and the salutary result of returning wisdom and pru . f donee, will ho the adoption of measures well calculate to preserve the country from civil war, the public imti. tutions of the country from the infuriated attacks of th* enemies of good order and of the Union, and the federal constitution from UtitudinprUn oenstsmstiao aad tioU. lion. • - V-. t7. j'| To all our remarks and arguments, the snpporterM I nullification and of Mr. Calhoun may say, that this tleman and his friends in South-Carolina, arc note eta, j tending for state rights, hy opposing the protective n*. tem ; therefore, whatever may have been tho reprehen. J siblc course heretofore pursued hy him, he is at present 5 the advocate of sound doctrines. All this wc deny, aid I wc call on his friends for proof. We have attentive); observed th* conduct of the nullifiers of South-Carolina We have attentively read all their tracts—all theires. | sa y S — a ll their addresses —all their speeches—and in I none of them, except in the exposition of Mr. Calhunn, have we seen any thing like argument advanced, to sup, -|| port the doctrine of nullification, on the broad ground «f state rights. Even in that exposition, the rights of the states, as recognized in the federal constitution; as admit, ted & secured hy the spirit of the federal compact between sovereign and independent states, arc entirely overlooked or slightly noticed, to assume the position that one statu b can nullify a law of the federal government, notwiit. | standing the assent to it of the other states, and still r«. I main a member and under the protection of the Union. [ The nullification party confine themselves, to the Pick. ii sion of all matters connected with state rights, to th? 11 protective tariff'. According to their creed and ihcinc. tions and their writings, slate rights consist in forbidding ■ the federal government from passing and cnforcrinjjs law for th® protection of nlanufacturcs. This i? ants, sertion made without any evident examination into th? conflicts which have already been experienced in then, perafions of the federal and state governments. Slats rights are in greater danger of successful invasion bro ther unconstitutional assumption of power on thepartuf |f| the federal government, than hy the assumption of th? power to protect manufactures by a tariff of duties. Argue the principle of Reserved Powers with the nulti. fiers, and th® uniform answer is, the tariff. Speak to them of the gigantic steps of the federal judiciary to- ' wards unlimited powers, and they exclaim, the tariff. Object to the system of internal improvements, and they angrily answer, the tariff. With the repeal of the ti rilf, according to their views and expectations, the con. stitution and state rights would resume that purify with which they were clothed hy the wise men of 1783- Moreover, when slate rights, as understood in Georgia, are explained to the nullifiers, their remark in, w? arc for nullification. Tell them that the Union should I he preserved, if possible, consistently with liberty, they answer, it can he preserved only hy nullification. Observe to them that the constitution should he kept inviolate, and they reply that it can be done hy nullifica tion. Tell them, in conclusion, that this doctrine of nul lification would produce disunion and civil war, if carried into effect, and their ready answer is, we must nullify— wc do not care what consequences this may produce. This is the amount of all what tho friends of nullification j have to say in defence of the doctrine. Entertaining then the opinion we do of this doctrine, and of those who sup port it as a general remedy for all grievances, is it stir- | prising that we should have continued to pronounce Mr. Calhoun a dangerous citizen? Is it surprising that, when ten years ago, we believed him to be an ambitious and designing politician, intent on rendering the government as aristocratic and splendid as it could be done without notions of economy and simplicity, we should now pro. \ nouncc him to be tho same ambitious and designing poli tician, when we find him recommending and advocating doctrines which, it is our firm belief, must destroy tbs Union and produce an interminable civil war, if incorps rated in our system of government ? Is it surprising that [ we should have warned the citizens of Georgia of the I danger of trusting him, his friends, and his friends' friends ? Wc appeal to the good sense of our fellow citi- ? zens to say, whether with this opinion, and with our | sense of moral and political duty, we could support Mr. . Calhoun and his doctrines, especially when we entertain the conviction, that there is an incompatibility between these doctrines and the rights of the states, as maintained hy Georgia, rights which the federal constitution sanc tions, and which every sovereign state possesses, ami ought to enjoy, without losing its independence 7 H 8. '9 We have thus performed our task. True to ourprtn' ciplcs, we shall continue to support the men and measure* we supported ten years ago ; and we shall continue V* denounce the men and measures which we condemned at that time. We shall not abandon our original princi ples, until we are convinced of thoir unsoundness. Tn* to the Union, wo shall steadfastly recommend an adher ence to it, until wo are convinced that it can no lan? pr preserve out liberties. With these avowals of our creed, we take leave of the subject, trusting that those who hire been so hasty in censuring us, can say, as we so, ja/k* sincerity of our hearts, that We believe we were. •till, honest end disinterestedness in the course we,hf T * pursued, in the course we now pursue, and is tho.cxpf ? * sion of our sentiments, at all times, and under cumstances.
