f rDK THE SOOTBEEH BASHE1.
■ Messrs. Editors Allow a fellow citizen
thr<->.M2h tho medium of your paper, to suggost
S'>mr:tliio(T to our Town Commissioners, that
may be of infinite benefit to ull, at least imme-
V diaiely in this neighlnt.-hood. Would it not he
—“ well for them to appoint s day in which they
os officers, should visit every lot in Athens, for
the purpose of examining ifall is clean, nnd if
not to point out such places of ftltn as might
bo injurious, in cose that worst of all diseases,
the Cholera, should visit us; nod if not remo-
ved within a certain time, a fine should be im
posed ; to examine particularly into the situa
tion of our streets, and see if they are well
cleansed also ? Would it not be well besides,
to have some “out-of-the-way” house, fitted
up, to uso as a hospital for the reception of
the poor and others, who may unfortunately
need it T Other towns have found great bene
fit bv attending to these matters in time, and
we should at least profit by their experience.
As an evidence of the great benefit of cleanli
ness where this disease is raging, I add an ex
tract from the New York Com. Advertiser:
“ Keep Clean.—A striking benefit of the
beneficial effects of cleanliness, in defending
against the Cholera, is seen in the removal of
the poor from their own filthy and infected
residences in town, to the temporary dwellings
erected in tho suburbs of the city. Those
erections arc upon high ground, clean and airy;
nnd although filled with occupants of all ages,
sexes, and sizes, taken thither from inferted
sections of the city, we have not learned that
a single case of the epidemic has occurred
among them.”

GREAT UNION MEETING.
At a numerous meeting of the cifzens of
Hall county, at tho Court house, on the lOih
of August 1832, Capt. Nehcminh Garrison,
was chosen chairman, and James Law, Esq.
Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been ex
plained by Henry Lightfoot.Sims.tn be the con
sideration of the “ mode of redress” against
the Tariff laws, ns recommended by the Nul
lifies of South Carolina and Georgia; a series
of resolutions were then offered, by MuJ. Ro
bert Mitchell, who enforced their policy nnd
propriety, and exposed the dangerous heresies
of Nullification in a lengthy address to the
meeting. The resolutions were further advo
cated by the Hon. W'llliam H. Underwood,
after which tho doctrine of Nullification was
avowed by Mr. James W. Jones, who endea-
1 vored to justifv it by mnny argumenls founded
upon a minuto detail of the duties imposed
upon various articles of import. Other reso
lutions differing materially from Mr. Mitch
ell’s, were submitted and supported by David
C. Neal, Esq.; tho question was thon taken
on Mr. Neal’s resolutions and lost; the ques
tion then being taken upon the resolutions in
troduced by Mr. Mitchell, was with acclama
tion carried by an overwhelming majority.
IVlierens in all free Governments, it is the
privilege of tho people to express their opin
ion* on all subjects, at all connected with the
welfare of the country : And whereas, there
have been many indications of late too plain
to be mistaken, of an intention to force the
dangerous doctrines of Nullification on the
good people of Georgia, under tho plausible
pretext of an opposition to the laws of Con
gress, usually denominated tho Tariff laws :
And whereas, we believo this doctrine, if car-
ried’into practical operation, must produce a
dissolution of the Government,bring on all the
horrors of a civil war, introduce tho confusion
of nnarchy and must finally end m despotism
1st. Resolved therefore, That wo are whol
ly nnd unconditionally opposed to tho Tariff or
protective system, and that we will,as freemen
and as patriots,employ all our means and ener
gies consistent with the integrity, perpetuity
and devotion of our happy* free, and beloved
country, to accomplish its abolition.
2d. Resolved, That we are unconditionally
opposed to a redress of the grievances under
which we labour by thp hazardous and dan
gerous remedy of Nullification, and that we
consider it neither n peaceful, rightful, or con
stitutional remedy.
3d. Resolved, That wo consider the dis
semination and establishing the doctrines of
Nullification by the enemies of General Jack-
son, as covertly to defenkdlis re-election, nnd
that we pledge ourselvffS to he the moro zeal
ous and active in his support.
4th. Resolved, That our confidence in the
Administration of General Jackson, is unim
paired, nnd that we yet look to him and his
friends for an adjustment of this perplexing
question, so as to harmonize with all sections
und classes of the country.
5th. Resolved, That a copy of the proeee
dings of this meeting, together with the pream
ble nnd resolutions, bo signed bv the chair
man and secretary,nnd published in the Feder
al Union and Georgia Journal, Millrdgcville,
the Courier and Constitutionalist, Augusta,

con, the Democrat, Columbus, and the Gn-
zetto and Southern Banner, Athens.

TOR THE SOUTHERN BANNER.
ESSAY—NO. I.
We propose in a few short essays, to inves
tigate, the following subject in u calm and dis
passionate manner, viz. The origin and history
of the two grand political parties which now
divide the citizens .of the United States; the
principles they have advocated and still advo
cate, with the causes which produced them;
and lastly,to point onl, in a few practical obser
vations, the legitimate result of a final and per
mauent ascendency of either as they now ex
ist. Our apology for this attempt, is the criti-
,cal situation of our country in its domestic re
lations, nnd the unusual interest with which
our governmental operations are now viewed.
After the storms of the revolution had blown
ovor, and the general peace and quiet which
pervaded our Union, and when we had leisure
to examine the grounds on which our confed
erated government rested for permanency and
strength, it was discovered by politicians, that
tho then existing form of government Was to a
great extent inefficient in answering the ends
for which it was formed- A convention was
proposed, to revise the old, and, if necessary,
to draft a new constitution, to be recommended
for adoption to the Slates. The convention
met, and on entering upon the performance of
their duties, it was found that different men
entertained different opinions upon the char
acter which the constitution should bpar. Two
parties appeared, both respectable for their
number and intelligence, and each advocating
opposite principles. Both had the appearance
ofsincerityand honesty in their views, nnd
both consequently manifested considerable
anxiety to have the “ new constitution ’ accor
ding to the tenor of their particular principles.
The party which it is our design to notice
more particularly in this essay, is that which
we denominate National Republicans, or Fed
eralists. The principles they avowed in rela
tion to the form of the constitution, were en
tirely opposite to those entertained by their
opponents; they contendpd that in order to
have a government permanent in its character,
and respectable for its power; not liable to be
overthrown by invasions from without, nr in
testine commotions within, for want of unity of
action or strength in its administration to con
centrate its forces, tha> the new constitution
must be so framed, as to invest tho General
Government with such power over the States,
ns would virtually amount to a consolidation.
In fact, a large number of the same party, as
the journals of the convention will show, were
much moro disposed to adopt a constitu
tion, authorising limited monarchy at once,
ihan one which would only exert a few speci.
fted and enumerated powers in a languid man
ner over the Stales. Their opponents in this
convention, we have said, entertained views
decidedly incompatible with those just expres
sed They were for surrenderingjust so much
power on the part of tho States, and no more,
as would servo to make the new constitution
answer those ends for which the old one had
been by experience found inefficient. They
looked with a jealous eye upon every act of the
convention which hud the slightest appearance
of an enrrnnchmeut on the original sovereign
ty of tho States; every measure that was pro
posed underwent the strictest scrutiny, to as
certain its intimate and remote bearings upon
the liberties of that people, over whom its good
or evil effects would one day he exerted.
And here we will digress so far as to make
this query : Is it at all compatible with reason
to suppose, that the parly which contended for
the principles of limitations of power in tho
government, would knowingly suffer any arti
cle or uny section of tho constitution to pass
them, so loose in the expression of its object,
as hereafter to authorise the same powers by
implication, which they had refused to grant
specially ? The answer of most Americans
to this question, might bn attributed to party
prejudice; but if a foreigner were made ac
quainted with the origination of our constitu
tion, arid its subsequent political history, and
wero called on to answer it according to the
generally received principles ot human logic,
hi* would assuredly answer in the negative.—
But to return.
The new constitution came forth from the
convention, a decided political offspring of the
Democratic Republicans, and was sent to the
Legislatures of the different States for sanction
nnd adoption. Tim contest in the ronvenlion
was fraught with that spirit of personal asper
sion and recritniuutinn, which has since char
acterized the two parties. Let us endeavor
to look for the cause of the violent discord
which has since sprung up between the two
pnrties. When the constitution was framed
and adopted, the contest for tim ascendancy
of principle was considered over by tho Dem
ocrats, and they confidently looked forward to
thi peaceful enjoyment of those fruits which
they expected it to produce. But the exer
tions of the opposition did not stop here. The
elevation of John \dams, one of their leaders,
to the Presidential Chair, brought them again
in the field, when it was observed that they still
had the same object in view, still entertained
the same sentiments, and sought to introduce
the name principles which had heretofore char
acterized their political course, into tho opera
tions of government. The passage of the
Alien and Sedition Laws, produced a violent
commotion iliroug out the Union, as an un
warranted and unconstitutional stretch of pow
er. This produced n violent conical in 1800
in which the particular features of each party
assumed a most uneq livocal distinction. This
resulted m the elevation to tho Chair of the
Chief Magistracy, one of the brightest orna
ments of trim Republicanism, Thomas Jeffer
son. The principles which he avowed and
practised, and which still stand engraven on
the hearts of all true friends to their country,
are those alone by which our government can
be brought back to its origiual purity and
strength; for all admit that it was during his
administration, was shown in right and hold
relief, as rules of action, tho true principles by
which the government was originally framed
and organized. From the known integrity of
ht< political character, and his acknowledged
talents, his parly confidently looked for the
attainment of those ends, for which the politi
cal revolution that brought him into office, had
been brought about. Nor were they mistaken.
It wa» obvious to all, that under the preceding
administration, the government had widely de
parted from the cbaraclei which in its forma
tion it was intended to maintain. It was the
high prerogative of Jefferson to reclaim it from
its erratic, wanderings, and set forth its funda
mental principles in their most impressive
form ; and again there was a prospect of poli
tical peace io the operations of the General
Government. But that we have since a sec
ond time wandeied far from tho true standard,
is obvious to all. Let ua inquire what have
been the causes of it.
In the administration of Mr. Jefferson’s im
mediate successors, the aberrations from that
standard became gradually more and more ex
tensive. Apologies, however, may be found
for this, in the particular situation of our coun
try in regard to’its foreign relations. YVe
were suddenly surruunded by dangers—great
exertions had to be made to provide means to
meet great exigencies ; and in the zeal with
which the governmental aim was slrciched
forth <br the protection of our national rights,
the rights of the Slides were to some extent
infringed, or at leaBt not gjarded with sufficient
vigilance. This affordec a lit opportunity for
the innovations of a pover, which lias since
far outgrown tho most sanguino wishes of its
adherents or the fears o' its opponents. YVe
allude to that power by which tho constitution
has been taken up, as a mere conventional as
semblage of words, without any literal stan
dard moaning, and so distorted hy sophistry
and intrigue us to be made the prostituted in
strument to answer tut unlmllowcd purposes
of designing partizans , and what party was it
that introduced this syitem into the operations
of government ? Let the political history of
the government tell; and lie that will take the
trouble to inform himself, will find, that the
same party which in the convention of 1787,
contended for a constitution, giving the go
vernment an extent of power incompatible with
tho sovereignty of the states, now sought to
obtain by this system of intrigue, what u fair
contest had deprived them of.
It is frequently thrown up to Anli-Construc-
tionists, that the ablest men that our country
has produced, have recognized it as a rea
sonable and equitable mannor of arriving at
the full meaning of the constitution. Let us
take an instance. The expression “ general
welfare,” is by this system held to extend to
the Internal Improvement of the country, to
duties on imports for the protection .of domes
tic manufacture, &c. By the same power the
terms “ general welfare” is held to mean tho
good or benefit of the majority, and that the
majority should govern, is one of the funda
mental rules of government. Now suppose
that those who are ni>i>u««d to this system
were to quietly fold thoir lianas —av
ouch article of each section of our constitu
tion, to be subjected to the influence of unlim
ited construction; what would be the result ?
But we are anticipating what we intend to be
the subject of a future essay. Ills almost
unnecessary to go further, in endeavoring to
developc tho continual objects which the Na
tional Republicans have hud in view; suffice it
to say, that they have ever been actuated by
the same political principles, ns well in thoir
aspirations and intrigues for office, as in thoir
official administrations. But they would not
deserra the reprobation of their opponents to
such an extent, had these principles been al
ways worn on their front ; had they shown a
disposition to combat their adversaries in a
fair and honorable maimer, then at least they
might have been considered sincere in their
opinions. Let no one think from this re
mark thut we are so prejudiced in our views,
as willingly to do palpable injustice to the
principles we reprehend. If we make any as
sertion, or draw any inference which hns not
fuct for its foundation, wo would takn correc
tion as a friendly act, but let facts speak for
themselves.
The Tariff act of 1824, was passed without
much or very strong opposition,comparatively
speaking. Though the consistent advocates of
Free Trade and State Rights never recogni
zed it as a constitutional measure, they were
willing to a certain extent, to admit its expedi
ency. Like the Tariff of 1816, its ostensible
object was the extinguishment of the public
debt, nnd was predicated upon the authority
contained in the constitution, “ for the purpo
ses of raising revenue ;” the latent and ro-
moto object for which the system was origin
ally gotten up, in some measure began to dis
play itsell in 1824, viz: for the protection and en
couragement of domestic manufacture. It was
soon found however, that the times und opin
ions of tho peoplo were too unpropitious for a
permanent political fraud to be imposed upon
them in all its native deformity; and it was
consequently continued to bo held up as a na
tional means to rolievo (he government from
its fiscal embarrassment. It was reservod far
the master spirits of this party in 1828. to
bring to maturity a system, which like the
torpid reptile hud been warmed and nourished
in tho bosom of a free republic., and now
sprang forth a finished political monster, to
least upon the liberties of n free pooplc, and
auUvort the principle* end gap she foundations
of a free government. YY’hat similarity or con
sistency is there in the arguments of the Tn-
riffites of 1824, and those of the present day ?
Can any one of them read without blushing
with shame in the Journals and debates of Con
gress, where this system,once begged as a boon,
is now claimed as a right ? ' If ever the liber
ties of this people should he destroyed, hy a
departure into tyranny nnd despotism, what
drivelling idiots will our oppressed offspring
think us so cruelly and wantonly abusing the
political nnd social blessings which heaven by
the wisdom and gallantry of thoir fathers,gave
them as a national legacy! Wo have thus far
endeavored to sketch the political history of
one of the leading parlies which now divide the
United States; the outline may be feeble, hut
it is true, and any one that will take the trou
ble to investigate tho political history of our
country minutely, will be convinced that the
party which opposed the new constitution in
1787, on the grounds ofits limited power, arn
identically tho same, influenced by the same
view*, and governed b» the same principles,
with that party, which cf late yesrs, have sue-
cessfully endeavored to palm upon their coun
try, a monopolizing National Bank,an illiberal
system of Internal Improvement, and an op.
pressive and unjust Tariff. If this be true,
and true it is, if truth is not construed to mean
something other than formerly, with what
conscientiousness can that party (aunt theif
countrymen, who, writhing under oppression,
are seeking for the means of redress, and that
in the home way, in which they did under the
embargo and non intercourse act, with a want
of love to their country! I With what consis
tency can they exclaim against Southern free
men, remonstrating against nn unjust system,
as “ insurrectionists” and “ rebels.”

PROPOSALS
For Publishing in Monfoe, Walton County,

to be entitled the
Southern Baptist Register.
BY JAMES W. PRICE,
I trU.fMt q.nemlly conceded, that the most ncceg.
snry study of mankind, is how to prepare for n e-
fulncss in life, and happiness in eternity. The necessity
is of consequence apparent, that every facility which
the ntind can invent, or the imagination devise, should
lie thrown in their way, to aid them in accomplishing
this moat important of purposes, this most dasiren ..f
obiects. The publisher deems this a.sufficient apology .
for tbo prospectus he now offers.
As its title inrlicites, thn Register is designed parti
cularly to disseminate facts in relation to the Baptist
denomination; to trace its history, to recount its trials,
and give intelligence of its success; yet in doing s.>, it
will present nothing to which the Chiistlsn of any de
nomination whatever, can object. Its aim will be to
encourage virtue, piomote piety, end uphold the doc
trine and preempts of our holy religion. To thoee ob
jects a large portion of the paper will be devoted; yet to
moke it acceptable to families generally,and answer the
purposes of ordinary newspapers, it will regularly fur
nish a synapsis of passing events, without interfering in
party or political strife.
With this very brief exposition of his design, tbe Pub
lisher submits it to thn public, trusting with confidence
to their decision upon Ills cliims for pslronsge end sups'
