" We cheerefully comply with the request of
onr correspondent “ Justice,” to give plare to
Mr. Foreylb’s speech on the tariff. The
course of Mr. Forsyth on the tariff has eter
been n consistent one. He waa not the ad
vocate of manufacturers in 1816, neither is bo
now.- He ha* never given a vote which can
be •• tortured” into eny approbation of the
principle of protection. Hi* character aland*
too high throughout the whole Union for him
to be foolish enough to jeopardize it by giving
into a principle which he has boon combatting
during bie whole congressional career. The
details of the dinner at Lexington will soon
reach na and they may afford some clue to
the hostile feeling which appear* to have actu

From the Augusts Constitutionalist,
-Mr. Calhoun and the tfullifiert of Georgia.
■—The inconsistency of certain members of
1 the Troup party, who have joined the nullifi-
on of Booth Carolina, is too glaring to escape
the observation and surprise of the people of
Georgia. They si-knowledge Mr. Calhoun
for their leader, because ha, is the creator of
Nullification, which gives, as this lender ssys
to every state in the Union, th« right to re
dress its owng rievances, by nullifying any law
of Congress which may act oppressively upon
the state. The Georgia nutlifier* have adop
ted Mr. Calhoun as their leader, in the wat
they am determined to wage against the
’*• American System.” The moat distinguish
ed of lha Georgia mtllifiers hove placed them
selves under the Banner of Mr. Calhoun, «
man who has been, and still is, a bitter enemy
of Georgia, and who has dona more Imrm to
our slate, and excited more animosity be
tween the citizens, than eny other man in the
United States And to Mr. Calhoun, as the
author, must bn ascribed all lire diflh-uiiici.
Georgia ha* had to encounter, with regard to
her Indian Innd*. To Mr. Calhoun must bo
ascribed the establishment of the protective
system and of the internal improvement *y*
.tem. To this man must be ascribed the hos
tility which sprung up in South Corolino
1824 and 1825, toward* Georgia. In short,
■to him musi be attributed all the difficulties
under which we now Itbour And it is <n
surh » man, that Troop men have sworn nllc
gianre, in preference to Jncksnn I If that
man hid not meddled himself uith our local
concerns, and pushed Gen. Clark to carry on a
war nf extermination with the Crawford parly,
party distinctions would have never produced
the evil consequences which have visited our
slate. And this man ha* boon taken up by
Tmup men as their leader, in their plan of
opposition to the federal government, and es
pecially to Gen. Jackson!
One of the purest politicians Georgia oyer
had, know Mr. Calhoun well, and often told
the writer oflhis article, that this leader of the
nullifiere was nne of the most dangerous of the
public men of the country, by hi* hypocrisy!
hi* cunning, hie tergiversations, and his chan
ges of principles, to suit the times. In May,
1828, in a lettor to tho editor, thia consistent
republican writes t • “ In the present crisis I find
xnysclfcompcUedto ajitnf tothe election nf Gen-
ral Jackson. To support this administration,
(Mr. Adams') after its conduct to Georgia,
(to'sty nothing about other measures of a

have said, my opinions of the man remain un

We say then, that a crisis baa arrived, the
most alarming that this country ha* ever been
called upon to witness—hut to come at once
to the subject.

is marching with giant strides, over the coun
try—calling upon us to quit the pursuits nf in
dustry, the enjoyments of the domestic hearth,
throw liberty “ like a worthies# erred away”
—in a word^to abandon every thing in despair,
and join South Carolina, in au unholy crusade
against the Government!—This monster
whose dark visage is lit up with fiend-like fury,
surveys the surrounding gloom with pleasure,
and contemplate* with delight the destruction
of every thing that ta beautiful in tho theory, or
valuable in the practice of our Government.—
The question now presented for the consid
eration of the South (for to us it is exclusively
addressed) is whether this Republic —this Iasi,
the only refuge of liberty upon earth—shall
perish in the folds of this monstrous Serpent ?
We neither have time nor inclination to go
into an examination nf this question—All ad
mit that it is one of deep and awfnl interest,
end by far tho larger portion nf the Southern
peoplo, it is believed, concur in tho opinion,
that it should be promptly and fearlessly met,
by an unqualified Negative. The fact that
South Carolina is willing to sacrifice the Un
ion, for no other, or higher putnose, than that
of advancing the pecuniary interest of her citi
zens alone, is conclusive proof that the Nulli-
tier*, are either wanting in patriotism, or are
shamefully ignorant, not only of the character
of our government, but oflbosa for whose Hpii.
efit it was established. The American oeo-
plo, including that portion who like ourselves,
believe tho Tariff to be injurious in ‘fis opera
tion upon southern interests, will not permit
the Government of their choice—a govern
ment which confers upon them, rights and
privilege* unknown to any other people on
earth, to ho sacrificed to the insurrectionary
spirit, which a few political gamblers are at
tempting to oxciie among the hravo and chiv
alrous sons of Carolina and Georgia. This
is the time, when the people should speak out
—when every patriot should raise his voice in

Dear Sir—Last evening we recoived the in
telligence of n battle having been fought be
tween Gen. Dodgo end his division,end the
Secs end Foxes, in which the former were vic
torious. Tbo particulars, as slated in Captain ura '*
Plympton’s letter to Captain Clark, are theee:
Parquett, wit'i a few Winnebngoea, left the
Pottage a few days since, to proceed to Gen
eral Dodge’s army, end guide them to the Sau
camp- On Saturday morning last, 21st jn-
slant, General Dodge sent his Adjutant to re
tort to General Atkinson of his movements.
He bad not proceeded far, before he ceme up
with the Sacs’ and Foxes' trail, directing their
course to (ho Wisconsin river. He immedi
ately returned and reported the circumstance
to Colonel Dodge, who pursued end overtook
them about sundown of the same day, on the
Ouiaconsin, and about 40 miles from Fort
Winnebago, when the fight ensued—the Indi
ana at the same lima retreating. The night
being very dark, they found it impossible to
pursue them. They had fotind, when Par
quet! left them, which was early next morning,
sixteen Indiane kilted, and but nne while roan
killed, and four wounded. Parquett thinks
not less than 40 Indiana fell in the engage
ment.

Oglethorpe Meeting.—By way of paper* from Aupuiia
and Millcdgenlle, we have at length received the pro*
eoedings of the public meeting held in cur neighboring
town of Lexington, on the Sd inti. Neither our limit*,
inclination, nor the neceuity of the case, admit their
publication entire; yet that our reader* may know the
result*, we will endeavor lo give an abatttet, embra
cing overy material fact in relation to them.
It i« staled that “the company aiicmbled in the
Court-House, and were organised by calling John
Moms, Etq. lo the Chair, and appointing Ben/. F. Hat.
de nan and IFm. McKinley, Eeq'rs. Secretaries. The
crowd waa an great, that comparatively few could be
•eated: and having nominaled Joseph H. Lumpkin,
John M. Berrien, Geo. H. Young, Angnalin S. Clayton,
Burwell Pope, Seaborn Jonea, base Collier, Thomas
F. Foster and John Billups, to collect public sentiment,
and prepare and report at three o’clock P. M., Reiolo-
tions in conformity therewith—the meeting then ad
journed lo the Grove, around the Female Academy,
where a sumptuous dinner was provided by a few gen
erous cilitrns.”
After the usual time allotted to the exercise of mas
tication had elap«ed, the cloth was removed, and then
commenced the aoul-alirring ebullitions of the
blod multitude. Many of the sentiments offered, were
generous, unobjectionable and patriotic; but there
were some which, despite onr wishes to the contrary,
impressed us with the belief that tho eoli water, used
as wo understand upon the occasion, mutt have been
adulterated. “Temperance” was touted—and here
we would beg leave to suggesi, that white they were
“nullifying every Dram-shop, Rum-hogshead, Brandy
barrel, and Whiskey cask in the land,” there are other
species of intemperance requiring salutary demolition
by this “ attribute of State sovereignty.” At the head
of the list of touts, we observe one to " Our Setudors
and Representatives in Congress;'' to which Col. Foster,
in behalf of himself and colleagues, replied. In his
brief, but truly eloquent and convincing addteag, he
advocated a Convention of the people of the State, an
ticipating the most favorabh result from such a union
of counsel and action. -Ho then remarks—
sad, is the beginning of a gradual reduction of duties,
and liml from this lime the miscalled American 3ytteru
will gn down. Wc as honestly believe tbst this' hope
is vain, unless some decisive step is taken. There is,
howavsr. s decent respect due lo the opinions of those
who differ from us, and I have no doubt they will see
their error before the termination of the next session
of Congress. Should this be the cue, and should we
fail in the good effect* which we anticipate from the
proposed Southern Convention, thou good citizen*
who shell have been thus direppointsd, will unite more
cordially with ns in any ulterior measurer which may
be proposed.”
In concluding, Col. Foster recommended that we
should exercise forbearance towards our brethren of
other Southern States, reminding us that in this •• great
struggle for constitutional liberty,” we should “pursue
i such mearaiu as, under all the circumstances, may
— 1 seem besl calculated to attain the object; and if we
cannot concur in such u may be suggested by our
brethren of other Slates,” wo should at leut “studi
ously avoid every thing which may tend to paralyze
their efforts.”
We view it os a right, as a constitutional privilege
we enjoy is a free people, to meet in convention for
the purpose of taking into consideration anv subject
touching our rights as a free and sovereign State. The
present crisis demands such s movement, and we ere
perfectly willing to lend our aid to a cause wo, believe
lo be so just and necessary. The course laid down for
the contemplated convention to pursue, by our worthy
and consistent representative, meets with our warmest
approbation. We have always admired the prudent,
but firm and dignified course of this gentleman, since
bit very first appearance in public life. He is indeed
worthy to be called the mentor of some public men, who
make twenty times the noiu that he does in the ns-
tionsl councils of their country. The plan he proposes
ws look upon as the only “peaceful and constitution
al” course, and consequently “the rightful remedy;”
and w: would respectfully advise all those who love
their country, its prosperity and happiness, to be par
ticular in instructing the delegates in whose hands they
intend to intrust “ their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred honor,” to pursue it; believing if it is adhered
to perscveringly, unitedly and firmly, by the Southern
States, that in a few years the odious American System
will he compelled to yield to its influence, and our be*
loved country saved from nullification, and all its con
comitant evils—civil war, bloodshed, anarchy and con-
fusion!
The Hon. A. S. Clsylon and Judge Berrien were
subsequently toasted, each of whom responded to the
compliment; the former in a speech of an hour in
length. Col. J. H. Lumpkin, frnm'the commi'tce ap
pointed for tbst purpose, reported the preamble and
resolutions annexed, which were advocated by Col. S.
Jones, "who contended, that notwithstanding the taxes
had been lessened fourrnillions, still the'burthens on
the South were not diminished.” The rote was then
taken on the preamble and each resolution separately,
and all carried with scarcely a dissenting voice.
Whereas, it is the opinion of this meeting, that the
proceedings of (he late Sension of Congress, afford
abundant end conclusive evidence, that no satisfactory
“ And here I will suggest the course which I hope
this Convention will pursue. Tht cause in which we
are engaged is common to the whole South, (Louisians
only excreted)—and there esn be no doubt that the
moat effectual mode of resistance would be by union
ana concert among the 8outhem States. I would
therefore have our convention propose to the other
Southern States a convention of delegates iron) those
Stales, to be assembled a* early during the ensuing
winter as suitable arrangements ran be made, for the
purpose of consulting on the measures proper to be
adopted, and of ensuring ihe action and xealous co
operation of the people in ihe prosecution of the muss
urea. The convention is also free from all objection.—
The manufacturers certainly cannot object to it, for ii
i* by the concert growing out of similar assemblages,
’hat they have succeeded in Axing this system upon us.
Do not, however, understand me as suggesting thi -
convention for the purpneo of addressing another me.
moriat 10 Congress. We have had enough of these in
all conscience. In nur appeals to that body wa have
employed every form, from the most solemn end spir
ited protests, down to tbo subdued tone of supplies
tion | and our appeals have been disregarded, our re
monstrances uni heeded, and our supplications content,
ned ■ a selfish and avariciooa majority have laughed it
our oslemitiee sad mocked at our complaint*. fshould
therefore consider il as humiliating, as descending be-
low your dignity as freemen, to present yourselves again
ai petitioners for that justice which is thus denied you.
But I would have this convention of 8ootbem Delegates
address so earnest remonstrance to tbo other States of
th* Union, setting forth in a calm and temperate, but
candid and decisive manner, our grievances and op.
preerions, and calling upon thsm to have our burthens
naioved. An appeal thus made, end as with one
voice, by the whole South,could not, would not be dis
regarded—end we might hope very soon to see it* mflu-
ence on Ihe legislation of Congress If. however, we
should be dieeppointed—if no effect should be produced,
end our fonts sndmsstrrs should Mill remain "deaf to
the demands of justice,” we shell base given additional
evidence of our anxiety to avoid extremities—we shall
place our oppressor* still more in the wrong, end we
shell be the more entirely justified to ourselves, and to
an impartial world, in any meoeure* which may then
be considered necessary for our security and protection.

adjustment of the Tariff can be longer expected from a
majority, deaf to the voice of justice end reason, and
obstinately determined to exercise power, regardless
of right. Under the specious name and pretence, of
regulating duties on imports, and reducing the same,
they are filching from southern labor, its hard-earned
pittance—ta gratify the cupidity, and inflate the pride,
of the Northern manufacturer and capitalist, contrary
to thr constitution, And to the meaning and intention
of the framers thereof. And, whereas, the people of
Ueorgia have only to depend on their sovereignty and
reserved rights, for a redress of their wrongs :
Resolved, Therefore, that in the opinion of this meet
ins, the Isle law of Congress, to regulate impost^ and
all the proceedings tnd sets of that body, having for
their direst otyect, the encouragement of domestic
manufactures, are not only unequal in their operation,
but deliberate, palpable, and dangerous broaches of the
constitution—to which, as free citizens of Georgia, tot
ought not, cannot, will not, longer submit.
Resolved, That should the General Government at-
tempt, by force, to coerce into submit’ ion, any State
which may interpose its sovereignty, to arrest the evil,
and thereby preserve the Constitution, we should feel
constrained, by a sense of self preservation, to consiff
er her defence essential to our ea/ety.
Resolved, That the people of this county will, on
the first Monday in October next, elect four Delegates
(the number of their Representatives and Senator in
the Legislature,) to meet at Millcdgeville, on the 2d
Monday in November next, clothed with full powers,
in behalf of their Constituents, to maintain, preserve,
and defend, the rights and privileges, of the free citi
zens nf Olid State.

of the people fully represented in said Convention, and

The preamble and resolution presented lo the
meeting by Col. W. Cumming, after considerable dis
cussion, in which Mr. Fonyth, General Flournoy, Col.
Cumming, Mr. E. F. Campbell ami others took a part,
were finally adopted by a majority of at least threc-
fourths, which resolutions denounce the doctrine of
Nullification as “ false in theory,"end if put in practice
os “most dangerous to the country”—they further
disapprove of tbs convention proposed by the Athens
meeting, sae delegation of power too broad and unre-
■trained, and calculated et a moment of excitement
like the present to wield a dangerous influence. They

nominated candidate of the Baltimore Convention f or
Vice President—Martin Van Buren Believing n * c
do in the necessity of party organization, in the utility
and propriety of conventions for the nomination of, to.
didates for office, and in the great talents and libera'
principles of the individnat placed by a respectable bdj
of our fellow citizens from all parts ofthe Union, btforo
the people of this country for Ihe second office is their
gift, we have associated with the name of Jackson on
our list, that of Van Boren. Under other cirennutu,
ces we should as readily have acceded to a nomintlios
of Mr. Barbour—we revere his patriotism; wa admire
hia principles, and the ability with which he sdvociiti
them—but we do not regard Mr. Van Buren either as
less able or less patriotic. Nor sre his principlaio
diametrically opposed to the South as some potiliam
would have us believe. In all our conflict* with the
General Government, in all our meaeure* of rcristnu
to Federal usurpation, he baa been with us—our ba
friend, onr zealous defender. True, on the subject if
the Tariff, he ia not all that we could wish; yet it ij
slsuder to accuse him of being in the ranks of lie
“ American System” party. He is no advocate for is
unequal distribution of the burthen* of government,»
friend to prohibitory duties. That he is more a Tariff
man than Mr. Barbour, we admit; but that he is non
so than the President himself we positively deny; and
yet we have those among ua who, while they boldly
declare themselvrs “ second lo none in attachment to
General lackson,” are studiously silent as to Ihe dims
of Mr Van Buren; and some indeed, claiming tote
the “ original" supporters of the former, who array
themselves in opposition to the latter.
We are not opponents of Mr. Barbour, but we in
not so reckless of consequences as to give him our np.
port, when the most he can do is to throw thoelMtun
into the House Df Representatives. We repeat it, Mr.
Barbour cannot get s majority ofthe electoral votrt-
Mr. Van Buren may not, if Mr. Barbour suffers hin-irf
to be s candidate. The power - f choosing sn in-p#-
tent officer—sn officer whose cordial co-operation id
good understanding with tho Chief Magistrate nf lit
Union, is of the utmost importance, will then be trim
from the people, and vested in that hot-bed of corrup
tion, the House of Representatives ofthe Uoiled Ststo.
There all the opposing faction?, the motley nwemb'qt
of “black spirits and white, blue spirits and grey," >1
“mingle” in glorious harmony, and, uniting on lha
strongest man, forthwith will be presented toourtn*
dering vision—John Sergeant, Vice President of the St-
public !!
This ia the plain state of the cate. If we support
P. P. Barbour we most probably elect John Sergetnl-
between whom and Martin Van Buren we must ehsow;
and is there one true friend to the AdminiitratiM,
who can hesitate in this choice ? Not if he has hii eye
open. Not unless he labors under a mental obliqiiitr,
dangerous if not incurable. We hope this mstlrr mD
be fairly investigated and taken in all its bcsrinp-l*
us give an enlightened vote, and we shall voteri|M.
