At n meeting of llio ritizcw of .lurkion n.m.iv. held ui (he court house on the 3d inst. to consult on the propriety and expediency of electing delegate* to a Convention, In niter tlm Contlitutinn of thin hIMp, ho hh to oliinm a reduction of the number of the member* in the Legislature thereof; David Witt, Esq. watt culled to tho ch.iir,und James Liddell appoint ed Secretary. When tho following preamble and resolution* were unanimously adopted : Wo the citizen, of Jarkson county, Having convened fnr tlm purpose of expressing our opinion on a certain political evil which now exists, and to devise measure* bv « liicli the m'iiv may be suppressed—ludd these troth* to V self evident: 1st. That mutual protection is the motive cause of political government; and 2d, as a consiquance thereof,—thnt all legitimate go vernments ore tho creatures of the people, composing the respective communities, where sorb governments exist. 3d. Thol the in- habitants of each community have n right to j.rest ribo tho form by which they w ill ho go- veroud. 4th. That all ollicer* are the imine- diule agents of the people, and consequently, when they do not execute the trust reposed in (hem m conformity to the wish of those fur whom they act, the people themselves inny resume their powers, and do-lluil llicinsclves, which their agents should hnvn done. Holding these principles to he correct, wo Lave hcon induced to enquire into the affairs of our own state, and find an evil to exist which is of no small magnitude, and which is daily increasing precisely in proportion with the incronao of our population. The Constitution, (which was established many years ago, and at a tune when our popu lation was very smsll,) prescribes the manner in which the people shall he represented in the general assembly, ns well ns llio rule bv which we shall he governed in the apportion ment of representatives among !lio several counties. Under this regulation, thnt body has regularly increased with that of <mr popu. Intion, until it tins grown to such n size us not to answer tlm purpose fur which it was crea* ted. Experience has also taught ti*. thnt l.y this mode of apportionment, the people arc not equally represented, and is consequently S departure from thnt fundamental principle of our republic, which intend* that, “ alt citizens thrill have equal power in political povevnmr.nl." The framers of this Constitution, anticipating thnt a lapse of lime and change of circumslan- cei. thi,"lit make it necessary to make some ■Iteration*, as well is that experience might suggnM others ; by the snme instrument gnvo to the Legislature the power of making such necessary alterations ; and being thus clothed with tho power, it became their duty to oxo- cute it in a beneficial manner. Under this state of things, the citizens of our Srnto had just reason to expect thnt their representatives would remedy llio evil above complained of, which is go obvious to nil.— Bui finding tlioir hope* disappointed by their representatives, they gave the mntlcrin special charge to that body, by directing in positive terms, the execution of thi* duly. It was re fused !! Our representatives promptly replied to this call, that tho present system of repre sentation with all its evils, *hould remain, and t!wl tee mini siibmil lo it 11! Having received this reply from bur agents. Wliat course should wo pursue ? Shall wo any to our servants, “ your will and not ours hr dour t" Or shall wo resume that power which is psrnmuont to nil others, and do that our selves which our agents hare refund to do?— Evi.rv citizen who has a just esteem for the principles of self-government, must exclaim, away with such unworthy ageiits, and let us xerVon ounsKi.vr.s. Resolved therefore, That it is in our opin- ! vn, highly expedient for tne people of this slate, forthwith lo proceed to llio organization uf a Convention, for the purpuso of revising und amending .tho Constitution, so far ns re- gnrda tho apportionment of representatives, uud no further. And it is fnriher resolved, That lo carry the ubovo object into ofl'ccl, wo will net in concert with our fellow citizens of llnncnrk county, hereby approving of the appointment made by them of the “ central committee to arrange details for the Hireling of said Con vention. Resolved further, Thnt a committee of ar rangements, consisting of Allen Matthews, William E. Jones, Jiimes Liddell, nnd Sylvn- pus Ripley, bo oppnimed, whose duty it shall be , to communicate with snid central commit tee, (if necessary) on tlm subject of said Con vention, and to make all necessary arrange ments to curry tho dosired object into effect. And it i* further resolved, Thnt our dele gate* to said Convention, ore hereby instruc. ted, and requested lo have a clause insnrtrd in their proceedings, to refer all the amend merits which they may make to the ConMito tion, back fo the ponplo for their aanction or (ejection, hereby reserving to ourselves thnt right. - Resolved, that nur proceedings be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and be pub. liihed. - * DAVID WITT, Chairman JAMES LIDDELL, Secretary. -<«>— roa Tur. siictuisn dannkr.

Hut ore long, sure enough as the farmer had predicted, the clouds nro«e and gathered blackness, the thunder rolled awfully above him, and the rain fell in furious torrents. Itefore the traveller gained the town, he was as wet ns a “ drown ed ml,” nml the next morning, out of Imre cu- liositv, lie rode hack to tho farmer’s house, and a-kcrl him, how lie know it would rain on the previous evening! Tho farmer replied very soberly, that there was a certain Mr. h. in that section of country, wlm made Alma nacs, and ho had always noticed, that when Mr. G. said it would rain, it was dead sure to ho drv nnd lair, and on the other hand, when lie saiil “fine, clear, pleasant day,” it was equally sure lo rain.

Editors,—Relieving that tho rir cumstuiiroH connected with tlm confinement nf tho Missionaries in tho Penitentiary, nro used with a view lo injure tho enusn of Pres byterianism in Georgia, I feel it my duly to stale, (without expressing any opinion on tho propriety or impropriety of tho course pursued by the Missionaries,) that they aro not under llio control, nor subject to the discipline ol'nny Presbyterian tribunal in this Slnlc. It is therefore illiberal and unjust to censure any denomination for the acts of those, over whom they Imvo no control. Presbyterians here, as they do elsewhere, differ in opinion on this subject, nnd this difference of opinion is nolj alone confined to Presbyterians. If an excuse should he thought necessary for this publication, I will stato one fuel. A short linio since, u collection was token up in our church, (Preihytcrian) as is common in ull our churches every spring, to assist in do- fraying tho expenses of our delegates from this Presbytery to llio General Assembly in Philadelphia ; this sum was forwarded liy me to Presbytery last week, and on my return home, lo my astonishment, I learned that a report was in circulation, that this money was to be forwarded by tho Presbytery to the North, lo pay the counsel of the Cherokee* and Missionaries. Such misrepresentations might be excused, had not the object been distinctly stated at the time the collection was made. But the author will answer to God und his own conscience. Your*. &e. T. >V.

Wo have however endeavored to make up the deficiency, by extracting n few of 11 random speculations of the correspondent of th Charleston Courier. It will be recollected, that thi writer is violently opposed to the present ndministin of the General Government, and that his views of the transaction* which occur nt Washington, ns well as his speculations on those anticipated, are generally of the most contracted, illiberal, arid icckless character. Ui* opinions with regard to the probable reduction of the Turil! by the present Congress, may he however, (from tlie fact uf I/m being in the secrets of leading men attached to the American system party,) entitled to some deguoof consideration : And we nn'icipat from tho dolorous nnd subdued character of his account flho proceedings of the Bank Committee at Philadel phia, that its visit to flic Mother Hank, has neither been an idle or wortldcRS undertaking, ar.il we hope will Hull in something more advuntngcoufl to the country tlinn simply to "postpone the rc-cliarteriug bill, until another session." fCj^.WliunKAU B.

The voice from Jarkson is clear and dislinct, ami w ill he heard, and no doubt reiterated by tho neighboring counties. But W'hst shall we say with respect to Madison? Why, lliut t he has done herself credit! 1\ hen we find a small county lino Madison evincing a disposition to yield even a psrt of •• its little brief authority,” for the good uf the whole Stale, we are indeed consoled with tho belief that the (into is at hand when tho eaU9e of rofirm, and a reduction of the expenditures of our stste government will prevail. It is true llio people Ilf Madison ate dispoted to bo cautious on this sub ject, jet wo arc pleased with the signs mauilcatcd by their late meeting, and have no doubt when thu time dues arrive fnr action, this patriotic little county will be ready and willing lu stand by the people. -■S£>- TAr .Missionaries and Prtshyteritn Church.—That the respectable and intelligent class ofthe Christian com- iniinity, attached lo tho Presbyterian church of Geor gia, are suffering on account ofthe conduct ofthe Mis- •binaries cunfmcd in the Penitentiary, we believe with Dr. Alexander; and we further believe, that as a body, no part of the community, religions or political, repie. bend with more aeverity the conduct of those individ uals, than do the Prcsbytetiaiis nf Georgia. The con- duct of one individual claiming to b« a ciliion of our Stale, living under th. protection of her laws, and joying the liospiuhty and liberality of her sons, lias gone further in attaching to Preabyteriane in Georgia, the odium of countenancing those deluded or w icked' men, perhapa, than every other consideration beside; and as we are disposed to shield all classes, conditions’, or professions of our fellow citizens, from unmerited reproach, and to 6a tho stigma where it is alone meri ted, we deem it but a duty wo owe to all concerned ia this matter, to notice the communication of iho Ho*.

The corro.-pondent of the Charleston Courier says, that much excitement had prevailed in both houses of Congress, on the diFcuraion concerning the collector of Wiscasnett. The House of Represent at ives has got fairly into the discussion of a bill to enlarge the provisions of thi Revolutionary Pension System, eo as to include a mini b’r of the survivors of the Revolutionary struggle whose cases are not now embraced by it.

What the effect of this con ciliatory movement may he on the people of the South, I will not venture to predict.

As Iho Report of tho Committee is not yet forthcoming, it is impos sible for me to speak with any certainty us to the issue.

W Itelher the delay has boen such bs lo en danger tlm pnssnge ofthe re-Churlcring Bill, or lo postpone it until umither session, remains to be proved. I am not without apprehension that ihe lulter may lie ihe ease.” It happens now, as u i t qiienlly does, that the fir*! information ofthe secret action ofthe Government reaches us in the NewYork news papers. A letter from Washington to tho Ed itor of tho Commercial Advertiser, dated fivo days ago, says— “ The Senate, during the last two days, has been engaged in sei ret session, on the nomin ation ofthe I erritorial,fudges. The debates luive been high, nngry, and, on tho part at least ol ono of Ihe orators, very indecorous. It seems that on Tuesday, Mr. Isaac Hill rend a long tirade against the Senator*, liy whose vo’es Mr. Van Buren’s Humiliation wits reject ed. Some of his own parly cried nut shame, nnd Mr. Clnyton replied to hint with great se verity. It is also said, that tiro Senate is like ly to ho involved in n general discussion of tho principles on which Mr. Van Huron's nomina tion was rejected.” Other loiters, dated last Saturday evening,lo | the Editors ofthe NewYork Evening Post, announce tent Governor Cuss, ou Thursday, concluded a trenty with the Creek Indian* in Alabama and Georgia, providing for Ihe cession of their lands, nnd fnr tho emigration beyond the Mississippi of all those who may not pre fer taking reservalnins and living under the Slate laws. “ The provisions of Ihe treaty,” says one correspondent, “are very liberal for the Creek* and highly satisfactory lo them.
