Cherokee County, On the third day of June, 1834, the mem bers of the Union party met, in public; and. on motion of Howell Cobb, Esq. who ofK red the following resolutions, adopted them without a dissenting voice. JOHN BREWSTER. Chairman. } Samuel C. Candler, Secretary. We, members of the Union party; citizens [ of the county of Cherokee, in the exercise of: our rights as republicans and freemen, having 1 met for tho purpose of expressing our opinion i respectiin the nature of our governments, Fe- ! deral and State; tho binding obligation and pro-! per understanding of tho Constitution of the I United S'ates, and the inherent rights and; sovereignty of the individual States, Do resolve, Sa much has been written and [ said upon the subjects we propose contempia-i ting, that it cannot be expected that we, the j pioneers of an imperfectly organized part of: the State of Georgia, can from an original I source or from the mass upon the public mind,' concoct or arrange an expression of opinion that will present the contested points in a new light or point of view; even could we succeed in that, the politicians of the present times are so tenacious of opinions first embraced and expressed that we cannot expect to make a *i«io!e convert; not b-it there i« validating enough, bin we speak oi honest converts, if it is not a violate n of terms :>> spook of political honest if. Engaged with the things that employ the at tention of itb* fir-t settlers of all now countries, we, pet haps, would act most wisely to leave the exammati'iß' and settlement ofhigh consti tutional questions to those possessing more 1 ability and w< ose minds hive been trained io such investigation; however, as it becomes every freeman to- streak of those important things, it becomes him properly to understand them, that he may speak correctly Stripping this investigation of the terms of art used for the purpose of inflaming the passions, and the cant reproach that serves but to embarrass the attention, we proceed to the examination. In the settlement of constitutional questions, the safe and correct way we conceive to be to annahze the terms used m the constitution bv tiie principles of common sense. The framers of tho constitution were not an artfill but lion est, artless collection of men; the terms they used to convey their ideas were no: used as terms of art but as every body understood them. To arrive at correct conclusions upon con stitiitional differences, it is trios! cons mant to propriety, to keep in view tno si’wition ofihe country m the formation of its political chaiac ter. the expressions of the public mind, found in ’he S’ae papers ofihe day, and bv the rules ialready mentioned. to examine the constitu tiori itself. He. who without party purposes to accomph-h, goes thus in the pursuit of truth, cannot fail to find it. All acquainted w.th the history nf the coun try, know, that previous io the Declaration of Independence, the opposition made bv the co Tonies to ’ho exactions of the mother country I extended no farther, and were not designed to [extend farther, than opposition to each partic I ular act ofoppression; no general, settled, hos [ tile plan of resistance to British authority was | set Op or contended for. The acts ofoppres sum being continued without any prospect of abatement, oh the part nf the oppressed cnhi nies, and ’he impossibility of redress, of the oppressed colony, being obvious to herself mid j all the rest, all made the oppress <>ns a com mon cause, and each act nf <>|>j.re«rh>n its own. On the I 9 h of April. 1775, the fir t bkod was shed that was shed during the war of the re volution, in the colony «»f M isS tchilsetfg* the cfTe~ ; T "oTnie B?redding of that blood was tip. sana l in Georgia as it was in Massarhusefts, and the determination to redress it, was a strong in Georgia as it was in Mas achusetts So entirely futile were the hopes oi'individual redress bv the colonies, that . n the 4’h of Sep tember. 1774, a continen’al Congress, renro seating eleven of .fie ■ 010 ues met ai P ilade!- phia.

They were not know n at home or abroad, but as one peo- \ \ple, having one llfilional imni- and the same ;c< rnm. n right*. IHE PEOPLE OF IHE i< 01.0 \IES. m the aggregate, ure -pokenof, i <- ON |. p .OP? E. and their national name used as di'ttngttishing this one people conven rd i congress, not for the punmseof redress, mg the grievances of any pnr'icular colon v, but for the purpose of considering and adopt ing some plan of operation* for the benefit of il.e whole people. It wts not necessary to for get nr rub out the geographical lines that I marked the limits of the respective colonies, tl at ttie people of them might act together; r | was reasonable to suppose, however, that had •■'icn a measure been necessarv, to such a pur- i nose, it would have been done. I’he people ot the colonies, then, from their very tir-t ac tum, acted as ONE. PEOPLE. The causes that mndv it necessary for a continental congress to convene, not having been removed, and the oppressions of which I the colonies comp! lined having been contm- ’ tted; rather increased than diminished. On the 9ffi o r June, 1776 Ricbaid Tin ryToe, n‘ deputy m ■ « j .tn congress, i.o.n Vir ginia, made a motion, not for Virginia, but i declare AMERICA free and independeu Here is ’he strongest possible fecdguiliou o the people of all the colonies being O N !? PEOPLE. Doesnot tins matter embrace al the colonies, and of course the people ? W cannot suppose a thing so absurd as that thi motmn was to affect Virginia only ! Placed a - Lee then was. he ad n<» right to speak for Virginia alone, and hu did not so speak; but he spoke for a nation— for AMERICA for one people. The people of the colony oi New York, were as rn ich Americans, and as such, included iii the motion, as the people ol j Virginia, and the effect of the motion upon Georgia was identical with lhe rest. This motion produced the Declaration of Indepen dence, which followed it twenty-six days after. The Declaration of Independence, the off spring of Mr. Lee’s motion, by which the co lonies became States, is the link in our political history, connecting that part of it, when colo nies, with its subsequent part. The Declara tion of Independence tn tv be looked upon as an announcement to the world of the birth of a N \TION. With whatever local distinctions might exist amongst the people of this new nation, foreign nationshad nothing to do; they were to consider whether as a nation contain ing “three millions of people,” they would re cognize tin- new nation. Although the De claration of Indepetiderme speaks the voice of til*.-* united colonies, the acts complained of were confined t > particular colonies, and in some of them no particular act of oppression had been committed; to be sure, the general' oppression had been felt, to a greater or less extent, by all but all had not particular char ges of complaint. Some of the colonies were but infants unable to speak the bold language of (he Declaration of Independence and una ble to support it had they spoken it, alone', m <l *edj more was declared and insisted upon than the stoniest of them could have enforce ! had they been inclined to attempt it, alone. Two causes, then combined, to amalgamate the people of the respective colonies, io which amalgamation they have always remained, to wit: common injury and colonial weakness. It will be important to remember this amalgama tion, as forming the most prominent feature in our national character, it was to oppose a for eign common enemy, and not for anv domes tic purpose. The coolest as continued and ended, by the colonies, does not show in any, the most minor point, that anv thing of a local or domestic sort was contended f* r, but that a national name and character was she object in ; vie v; tins was wh it was gained .and what wo no.v enjoy, a name amongst the nations of the earth; this station enulles us to nothing more than is ackn r.vledged and enjoved bv other nations. We may know th it the British do main includes England. Ireland, Scotland and W des, hut wlnit has it to d > with other nations? A oat have other na'ions to do with that? Fo reign nations may know that th« United States is composed of twentv-four parts, that these p uis are known bv different names, but what do thev gain by this knowledge, or lose bv it, ■>r how d<»es it affc tihem? Certainly nothing. They know nothing of us but as one nation, and that nation as one of lhe sovereign powers of the earth. The internal division and government ofanv ind every country is a matter that relates ex clusively to itself; foreign powers having no thing to do with things of that sort. The in dividual Stites ofihe Union had their exist ence, as individual governments (m.marrlual) before the formation of the Union, whilst t' ev were colonies, a >d maintained that existence, (now republican) whatever appearance they make to the work!, from hef’g united. The Declaration of Independent says, “these co- I mies are and of right ought to he free and ndependent States,” this language is to be understood as spoken the country, and by cadi of the < ninnies, for itself to the others. The mother coufllrv is informed hat the colo nies are no longer depond.-nl upon her for sup. port, n<* longer look to her for protection, a d are determined no longer to Im ofn dient to her. Each colony informs the rubers, that in changing her colonial relationship she i* to he aneqii if with, mi a dependent upon h r asso ciates.

L'he government created by toe con stitution cannot go beyond the hmits marked for it, if it sbouldj tlyeact would Oe without authority, against authority, and therefore no act at all. We arc not to unders.and the con stitution-as beginning and originating ihe pre sent government of ihe United States, for mat is not true, but as put ing more strength and vigor in a gov. rn nent already cream], but which was found inadequate to the purposes of its creation, whenever we 3 speak of lhe cre ation of the Constitution an I tfie present, go vernment, therefore it must be understood with this qualification. Fhe ecnsiitmion was made for the purposes oi' forming “a more perfect L mon; establish justice, enoire domestic tran quility, provide for the comm m defence, pro mote the general welfare and secure the bles sings ol fiber y.” Ims language pres ippo.ses the existence of provisions for these jmrposes, butthat they operate inue fedy, winch was the case, these provisions we find m the ar t cles of confedera.iun entered into bv the S ates on the 9m July, 1778 By the ninth article of confederation “lhe United Slates in Con gress assembled” are invested with all lhe at tributes of sovereignty, as to foreign m'ions It cannot he necessary to se ir’h further into our system of government to per etv/i, tint as to foreign nations we tv«‘ ONE PEO.PLE i and nation, and that the States are sovereign, i within ihemselves, as to lheir governments and affairs, and that the constitution points out the nmits within which ’he General G •vern ment most move, and protects il»e States from its encroachments. Iho passage of the unconstitutional law by Congress supposes the existence of more corruption than wo believe exists; a majority of Congress must bo corrupt, or tho law can not be passed. We will suppose that an un constitutional law is passed, flow is it ’■> Im enforced? It cannot be, unless every offi -er upon whom depends its enforcement, is per jured and corrupt! lor a/Z officers, Federal and yjtate are sworn tn “suppor and defend the constitution,” and this oath is not idmmister e I to them, as ministerial, but >s judicial of fleers. II >w can they ‘‘.support md detend the constitution,” unless thev are to jud when it is violated and r*q ores their suppor l and defence. They are to defend it from vi olation, and support it in us provisions: So that should a majority of congress be corrupt and pass an unconstitutional law, it in ist re main harmless, until the people, by a change of memb rs can blot the offspring of corrup tion from ’he s'a 1 ite bo'ok. Au unconsiit'i. tion.al law depending upon so much corruption lor its existencs, miy be reasonably placed a mongst very remote possibilities. Sh <uld it be presumed that Congress has passed an un- I’onsiiiutional law, we have but to < xamme the constitution and see whetho r from its funda mental or incidental porwers Congress has tim doubled authority; m this way a sudden, certnirt, universal, cofeet understanding is ar rived at. Should, however,. Congress pass an un. onstii'ilnmal law a State has not th power to control ils enforcement, t mt s.ijipo s. s it supervising, paramount power in a Stale, which is dcstrucirve of all power in the geoer al government—-each Mate, as suited her in wrest, would abrogauj the laws of eongres hal were offensive to her, and the Federal system Would soon be aan end No act is uncoils itutimia! unless if viul.ues some ot the fundamental or inculen'al jiriucip/es of th<’ c>his’ituiion.
