From the Savannah Georgian. " 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 ated those who excluded Messrs. Forsyth and Wavne from their deliberations. One thing we beg nur readers to bear in mind tin'll fur ther light i* thrown on the subject, Mr. For syth’s most able vindication of the administra tion on the subject of Mr. Van Ruren’s nrimin- fclion, and hi* utter prostration of Mr. Miller, one ol the great champions of notification, in (hat memorable debate, mark him out diminrt- ty as the object of hatred and vengeance to the party. Moreover he stands in direct opposi tion to the Coryphe^ny of Notification, John . C. Calhoun, and that is another strong reason why h« should be aimed at. Rot John C. , Calhoun and hia party am wnfully mistaken if they think they ran give any direction to the great mass of Georgia, and the attempt to in jure Mr. Forsyth, will only show the will with' out Ilia power.

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.

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.

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.

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. •lam swore tbst many of ray fellow citizens, and among them, some whom I am proud lo chinctf rist at my warm friends, are opposed to this idea of* Sou thern Convention, because they think it impracticable —they do not believe that an tho Southern Stales woild unite in it.

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.

General Valentine Walker we* celled to th* chsir, end James McLawu, Esq. appointed secretary. 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.

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.

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.
