were adroitly used by the convention to give plausibility and colour to its perversions of those principles. For instance, when the Re solutions assert the sovereignty of the States, as retained under the federal Constitution, the Hartford Convention claimed from thence the right of a single state, or two or three of them, to refuse assent to acts of the general govern ment —to resist the laws of the confederacy— secede from the original compact, make peace wnh an enemy at war against the confederacy; enter into a treaty and alliance wiih a foreign power, ard turn its arms against its former friends. Furthermore, from the doctrine of single state interposition in cases relating en tirely and exclusively to its territorial rights, was deduced the monstrous incongruity of the minority controuling and governing the major ty of the people. By this process of double distillation was extracted from the essence of State Rights a set of dogmas poisonous to the whole body politic—and which if insinuated into, and circulated through the system, would have infallibly resolved the entire mass “into its original elements,” and brought it back to the starting point, subjection to British author ity. The peace which followed the destruc tion of the British army at New Orleans, af forded an opportunity for the blue light politi cians to escape from the web wrought by their own sophistry, inasmuch as the ostensible cause of discontent was removed. But they were followed to obscurity by the deep execra tions of all patriots—and from no quarter of the confederacy did the voice of public repro bation sound in louder and clearer strains, than from the gallant and loyal South. The Hart ford Convention and its advocates were held in the same estimation with the tories of the revolutionary war; and had it proceeded to act upon the principles promulgated, thousands— tens of thousands of brave Southrons would have aided to uphold the institutions of their country, or perished with the fabric. • I have treated at some length upon the prin ciples and designs of the Hartford Convention, because of their alliance with the nullification proceedings of the Columbia Convention of South Carolina. The resemblance one bears to the other is too close to be mistaken—ln describing the former, the reader will perceive that I have delineated the features of the latter. The doctrine of nullification, by right of dis covery, belongs to the Hartford Convention. Calhoun and his vassals are not the inventors, but tho. imitators of it. The only trait in its character having any pretence to originality, is the infamous “test oath,” and “military Bill.” if indeed they had not a common origin. The history of parties in the United States, from the peace of 1815 to the year 1828, car ries on its face the appearance of a contest for office, rather than a regular conflict of princi ple; and as such is divested of that absorbing interest characteristic of prior and subsequent dates. The apostacy of Henry Clay and the success of John Q. Adams produced some stir in the democratic ranks; just enough to arouse them from slumber, and to triumph in the elec tion of General Jackson to the Presidency. The energy of that venerable patriot has over thrown the whole system that was maturing under the federal counsel of Mr. Adams; and sustained with unflinching firmness “through good and through evil report,” the rights of the people expressly confidedito his keeping. Sen sible that success could not be hoped for in open warfare, the federal party have repeatedly (b , vi<<'(i expedients insidiously designed tocir cmnvent tlio watchfulness nf the people, or operate upon sectional and selfish feeling. The system of internal improvement, the tariff, nullification, and the national Bank, have sep arately been brought forward to allure, terrify, , and bribe the democracy of tho country to a surrender ol the institutions that support and uphold their liberties; but each has successive N fallen before the indomitable chief who ad inmi'tcrs the government, supported by the virtue a >d intelligence of a people determined to remain free. icu Hu historian «hall record the feats of nullification in the South, and shall faithfully delineate each feature of that doctrine, it will; be difficult for him to account in a rational way | for the favor it has met with among a people l who viewed it with such symptoms of loathing and abhorrence when introduced by the Hart ford Convention. Tho nullification of Cal houn’s vassals in Carolina and his Collar men in Georgia, is nothing else than the doctrines of the Hartford Convention revivified, and fur nished with “a local habitation and a name.’ U « have seen that this doctrine wav put in motion bv the systematic enemies of the Union and American liberty—that it was espoused I bv the tories of the revolutionary war, and by ; all llmse who were prompted by the cravings ’ ot a” bit ion to seek after preferment which they . could not obtain under the confederacy. We 1 have seen too that it was haded as an auspi- ; cions movement, encouraging to the hopes ot the friends of royally, on one hand—and on ■ ilie other, it was regarded with fearlul forebo dings bv the friends of liberty throughout the world. Are not these circumstances ofsimd-I itude, in close attendance upon the nullifica- | tion of Calhoun and his adheren s? and if so, wha- difference ran possibly exist between; them ? What iust man—what friend nt liberty • and happiness, can hold those principles blame less in Carolina, which he denounced as trai- | torous in Connecticut? We are not now con- ; tending single handed with the advocates ot Internal Improvement, or the tariff, nr nullifi- : cation or the Bank, but against them all unt- { led Wa are combating against the ronern- . trated powers of all who hail under those sepa- ! rate banners—men whose desire, to overthrow the < xisling order of things, constitutes the on- , h bond of connection with each other—and ■ who would soon be found in deadly hostility to , ♦ ach ether, if the common design should un fcrtunaiolv succeed. The British government has probably never u-llv relinquished the design once igam to i quire foo«hold and dominion among be’ an cient colonies* It bas boon once deioc.ec in I 3 correspondence with traitors, fomenting and f stirring up strife among our people with the - hope of using our discord as an instrument of , our destruction. May there not be - “spies in j the land.” now lurking about for the same un -3 holy purpose? Pensioned hirelings; who live , expatriated from their own country for the base • purpose of throwing poison into the bosom ■ where we derive nourishment and life? Look > around and find out who they are that come ; under this description—Persons indeed too i insignificant to be suspected of a trust so weigh- ■ tv, but thereby rendered more fit for the infa mous employment. Il remains for the intelli gence and patriotism of the people of the Uni ted States to decide between such instruments, and the safety of our glorious institutions. If they will follow John Catiline Calhoun, his tory and English allies into nullification, then will they reap the bitter fruits of their choice in a plentiful harvest of calamities, and accom plish the destruction of their own liberties. If however, as I believe they will—if they spurn from the bottom of their souls the insid ious approaches of the arch deceiver, rally around Andrew Jackson, and cling with the grasp of death to our political system as trans mitted by our fathers, all will be safe—The Union will be preserved. The sun of prosper ity will continue to shine upon us—upon our children, and our children’s children to remot est time. Let not the good work, be delayed —rally, rally around our illustrious chief and strengthen his hands to perfect the salvation of our country. “Freemen ! cheer the hickory tree.' In storms its boughs have sheltered thee; O’er freedom’s land its branches waive, ’Twas planted on a Lions grave!” HAMPDEN. UNION BEEETZNG. Agreeably to previous intimation, a meeting, composed of a respectable portion of the citi zens of this county, was held in the court house at Cassville, on the 3d instant. On motion of Maj. T. C. Turhune, Isaac Anderson, Esq. was called to the Chair, and Doctor S. P. Burrett, nominated to act as Secretary. Maj. T. C. Turhune then briefly explained the object of the meeting, in a few short, but appropriate remarks. After which, Zachari ah B. Hargrove, Esq. submitted a preamble and resolutions, the nature and principles of which, he explained in a manner which did honor to his character, and truly gratifying to the feelings of the devoted patriot. Without dealing in bitter invectives and calumnies, or uncourteously assailing individual characters, he exhibited the dangerous tcndancy of Nulli fication, and the imperative demand on the citizens to be vigilant in guarding their liber ties, and to arouse their latent energies to ex pert any attempt at their invasion. The preamble and lesolutions were then taken up, and unanimously adopted. There is no political maxim more generally assented to by the American people, than the one that the general and state governments are both of equal importance to the preserva lion of our excellent and unexampled Federal system; and that the only permanent guaran tee we have for the security of our happiness and liberty, is the perpetuation of that system. A difficulty has, however, arisen relative to the powers and duties of each, which has been prosecuted by some of our citizens to an a- larming extent and if not resisted and subdued, must ultimately terminate in an enure change of the relations existing between the Federal and State Authorities. The novel, unreason able, and extraordinary right lias been assurn , ed, for any single slate, to determine what laws she will, and what she will not be govern ed by, and insisted upon with a zeal and an obstinacy which almost bids defiance to rea son and argument. If this principle is to be engrafted upon our system, it is of no longer duration than a state may capriciously deter mine upon its dissolution. Such as egregious error never could have been committed bv these by whose labor and wisdom it was established. Such an one we j fervently hope will never be sanctioned by the i good sense of a majority of our follow citizens. 'lt is with extreme regret that we discover the attempts that have been made, and are yet making, to influence the passions ot the peo ple, and to urge them to an unwarrantable hostility against the general government, “to alienate their affections” from it, and to in duce them to look upon it as unfriendly to their best interests. —To this unholy endeav or. means has been resorted to, which person al hatred, disappointed ambition, and an over grown monied aristocracy, driven to despera tion, could invent. Scarcely an individual, who entertains an honest deflerenco of opin-, 1 ion from them, having the independence to ex- I ! press it, but what is assailed with a bitterness and a violence calculated to engender the worst of feelings, and if persisted in, to ter i minate in consequences repugnant to the spirit and genmus of our institutions. Discussions I properly tempered, never fail to enlighten and improve; and the question upon which the public mind is now so much excited, canvass ed will that liberality, manliness and frank ness, characteristic of those who seek their country’s good, cannot fail to add strength 'o I those bonds which now bind us together us one people. Obedience to that principle that lies at the foundation of our government, that the ma jority must rule, will prove an efficacious rem edy forthe disorders so loudly complained ot, if there are in reality any; tnat principle dis . regarded, and anarchy, if not l 'blood-shed, is ; I the inevitable result. The prominent and rul-l mg principles of our nature cannot be changed j —man, in all ages of the world, possessing the I I power, has never failed to command and en force obedience and respect to his opinions; and where governments are organized, it the “Ballot Box” is found insufficient, the sword and the bayonet is ever called to us aid. M e j enjoy, it is true, the high distinction of being American citizens, yet, similarly situated, our country must and will be the same as that of the people of any other age and country. To arrest an evil so great, so direful, to postpone an event so revolting to the feelings of the philanthrophist and the patriot, and to assist in upholding these pillars, which sustain a ration al and well organized system of government, we have this day convened. Surveying the unsettled and unhappy condi tion of a sister daily witnessing the unceasing efforts made to engraft the policy of its ruling party upon us, we consider it a duty solemnly enjoined upon us, to resist its approach as by every honorable means within our control. South Carolina' Nullification, and Georgia State Rights are deformed twins of the same unpropitious parentage —and if the one is odious, we should view the other with the same disgust and abhorrence. If, therefore, we would wish to escape the shack les which Nullification has for the present fas tened on the patriotic minority in Carolina, we must strangle the monster which has been most improperly called State Rights, while we have the power to do so. We cannot resist the conclusion that by many the appellation of State Rights has been assumed to delude and deceive. We proclaim our devotion to the Rights of the States, and in their just support, we would to none.—But they are such Rights as are not incompatible with our existence as a National Union. We consider that the general government also, has Rights, and those it is also our duty to “maintain and defend.” We cannot refrain from adverting to the re moval of the public deposites from the Bank of the United States to the almost deafening clamor used against our worthy President, for this independent and highly meritorious act.— In this state, it is generally admitted, that this Bank had most shamefully abused the power conferred upon it—that it had grossly interfer ed with the most sacred privilege of freemen the Election Franchise is made manifest be yond conjecture —and that in this iniquitous warfare upon the purity of elections, and the liberties of the people, it had squandered thousands, and tens of thousands. We appeal to the sober judgment of an intelligent people, and ask the question,, was an institution thus engaged, a proper or a safe depository for the funds of the government? 1. Resolved, That the General and State Governments, are each entitled to our confi dence, respect and support, and that allegiance is due alike to both; and that the appellation of “Citizens of the United States” is one we are proud to own. For the purposes therefore, of supporting and advancing the principles herein contained, and sustaining a cause upon which we believe so much depends we propose io organize our selves into the “Cass county Union. Socie ty.” 2. Resolved. That we as “Citizens of the United Stales,” consider it our peculiar duty to submit to the will of the majority, when that will is fully and fairly expressed. 3. Resolved, That having confidence in the intelligence and virtue of a majority of our fel low citizens, we rely upon them, through the “Ballot Box.” for the correction of any im proper system of legislation adopted by Con gress. 4. Resolved, That we consider the doctrine of Nullification a wild and pernicious heresy, having no kindred with the Constitution of the »r i a . 11. _ < .. . _ ..J . United States; and mat we consider Georgia State Rights Nullification disguised. 5. Resolved, Thai we view the Bank of the United States, as at present organized and conducted, as an institution dangerous to the people. On motion of major C. Terhune, Resolved, That there shall be a President and Vice President, a Secretary and Treasur er, annually appointed, and on such days as the Association shall disignate. Resolved, I'hat there snail be a committee of twelve appointed, whose duty >t shall be to guard the interests of the Union Party in this county, and, ae far as prac icable, to prevent the people from being entangled in the snares of Nullification. Resolved, That there shall be a Committee of fivo appointed, whose duty it shall be, to have frequent intercourse with the members of the foregoing Committee, and who may, when any exigency demands it, have power to convene the whole Association. Resolved, That the Chairman of this meet ing appoint a Committee ot seven, to make the necessary arrangement for the Celebra tion of the fourth ol July, by selecting an Orator, and doing all oilier things necessary 'thereto. ' On motion of Chester Hawks, Esq. the fol- ■ lowing gentlemen were nominated: Col. WM. HARDIN, Presid nt Maj. LEMUEL P. HARGROVE, Viee- President. Dr. S. P. BURNETT, Secretary. WM. S. MORGAN. Esq.

Hargrove, asked permis sion to submit the following statement, togeth er with the subjoined Resolutions, which were unanimously, adopted: At a meeting of a small portion of the citi- ■ zens of this county, recently held in this place, his Excellency Gov. Luuqikm was sensured for an act performed relative to the January elections, the facts of that case have been spread before the public, by which it clearly appears that this account, like many others, which have been aga nst the Governor, has no substantial foundation lor its support. The friends of Gov. Lumpkin have no just reason to lament the support heretofore given him.— He is emphaticably the People's governor, and he has never yet deserted their interest or violated the laws or constitution of the State; his duty he has performed, and will perform, regardless of the slander of his enemies. That meeting also declared amongst other things that Messrs. Jones, Hargis & Loyless had forfeited all claim upon the political con fidence of the people by accepting their com missions as Justice oftho Inferior Court—we who are unacquainted with those gentlemen can appreciate their merits—and know what credit this unauthorised declaration is entitled to. Therefore, Resolved, That we fully approve of the decision made by bis Excellency the Governor, in relation to thp. elections held in this county in January las?, and that tie is sus tained both by the justice of the case and law by which it was governed. Resnli>t>rl, That we have entire and unlimit ed confidence in the honesty and integrity of Malacid Jones, Hargis and Reddin J. Loyless Esq’s— a nd that we think the people of Cass county fortunate in having such menforJus tices’of the luferiour Court. On motion of Maj. C. T. Terhune, Resolv ed, That the proceedings of this meeting, be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and published in the Cassvplle Gazette, with a re quest that Editors friendly to the Union will give it an insertion. On moti< n of Maj. Terhune the meeting adjourned. ISAAC ANDERSON, Chairman. S. P. BURNETT, S’ecrefarv. RECORDER AM> SPY 11. COBB & 18. 11. GATIIBIGIIT, Editors. AURARIA, GEO. IYtATT 31,1834. “ Hampden”. We call the serious attention of our readers to an ar. tide in another column of this days paper, over the signature of “ Hampden.” This forcible and logical writer in contrasting the principles avowed bv the Hartford Convention, and lately adopted by the domi nant party in South Carolina, and “ Mr, Calhoun’s Col lar men in Cco gia,” very justly remarks, that “we are not now contending single handed with the advo cates of Internal Improvement, or the Tariff, or Nullifi cation, or the Bank, but against them all combined.” The truth of this remark is apparent to the unpreju diced, and most superficial observer of passing events' We need no better evidence ofits correctness, than the late excessive legislation of the Senate of the United States, brought about bv a combination of the Internal Improvcment party, headed by Mr. Clay; the Tariff party beaded by Mr. Webster; the Nullifying party headed by Mr. Calhoun, and the Bank party, headed by King Biddle. We think there can be but little doubt, but that this amalgamation of parties has been formed fur the purpose of prostrating the present Ad ministration, at the risk ofevery hazzard. z Keettwu ontutuuKi. We think the following reply of the Federal Union, a sufficient answer to all who may be disposed to dero gate from Mr. Granlland, inconsequence of his having accepted a nomination to run on the Union Congress ional Ticket. Refusing to run with the Nullifiers, and thereby evincing his characteristic zeal in the cause of the Union, have confirmed him in the confidence of many, who had opposed him from party distinctions, which have gone to the Capulets. We trust that his nomination, will be received by our up-country friends, and that the cause of the Union, to the exclusion of old party names, will be of paramount consideration, with every voter. “SEATON GRANTLAND Esq. one ofthe Cen tral Committee of (he Mate Rights’ Party, has accep ted a nomination by the Central Committee of the Union Democratic Pirty.asa candidate lor Congress. —.Macon .Messenger.

Continue to give despatch and accom modation to Goods and Shippers.—The Company is at this time better prepared for business, than at any time previous. Having at this moment three steam boats engaged in the trade between this and Augusta, and one just launched which will be ready to run by the Ist of July, viz: the Tumalo, the Augusta, the Savanna/i, ana the Georgia, all of which are first rate towing boats, and commanded by able and experienc ed Captains. The tow boats. 17 in number, are al) in prime order, the most of them new or nearly so, and equal in every respect to any in the U. States. The situation of the Company’s wharves are pe culiarly well adapted to the business, having four wharves of 100 feet each entirely separated from any other wharf property- The sheds and stores are rendered secure from fire, and Goods are always re ceived for forwarding free of storage. The Cotton Yard being inclosed and fitted for the reception o£ Cotton, and responsible, watchmen employed night and day. making both Cotton and other Good! always safe. The steam and tow boats have all been built at Savannah with a view to meet low rivers, and it is believed they will answer as well as any o ther boats for I hat purpose. But in order to insure despatch at all times, the Company have it in con templation to cut a canal from Augusta to some point on the Savannah River, below the Shoals. For this purpose a very liberal Charter was granted by the Legislature of this State, and a survey of the route has been commenced, and is now in progress, under the direction of Colonel Cruger, one of the most skil ful and experienced Engineers m the U.
