ROBERT RAYMOND REID.
The Voiceqf Georgia.—We rejoice to find public sen
timent throughout the Stale, settling down decidedly
against tbo revolutionary principles of Calhoun and
Cooper, lately attempted to bo introduced into Georgia.
Wo regret that the limit* of our paper prevent us from
keeping paea with the numerous public meetings
which have been held, and through which these opin
ions have been expressed. Richmond,Chatham, Jones,
Baldwin, Hall, Walton and Morgan, apeak in a voice
that cannot be mistaken—they have completely “an
nihilated” Calhounism—“knocked” Nullification “ in
to nothing” without “ leaving a grease epot to tell that
it had been." The freemen of those counties sre firm and
decided in their opposition to the“unrigbleousTariff,"
yet willing, with Mr. Jefferson, to wait *• the returning
justice of the General Gnvarnment," rather than in
volve the country in all the horrors of anarchy and
revolution.
The proceedings of the Morgan meeting have been
received; but owing to the columns of our paper devo
ted <o communications being pre-occupied, we ere
compelled to lay them over to next week. They op*
pace Nullification—recommend a Southern Conven
tion-urge the necessity of re-electing Jackson to the
Presidency—approve the nomination of Van Boren,
and applaud Messrs. Forsyth end Wayne's totem the late
EM reducing the TariJ.
Electoral Ticket.—We publish to-day, the Ttoup tick,
et for Electors of Preeident and Vice Preeident. We
are not disposed, however, to pledge ourselves to sup
port the whole of it until it can be satisfactorily ascer
tained, wlist are the sentiments of several of the indi
viduals on the ticket We bold, that no man who
professes the doctrine of Nullification can coniiateutly
support Andrew Jackson, end if we are not greelly mis
taken, one of the gentlemen on this ticket has the pre
monitory symptoms, end another is in the blue ot col
lapsed stage of the disease.
We therefore feel it a doty we owe to ourselves, end
to our subscribers and patrons, to call upon those gen
t'enten (who form the Troup electoral ticket,) to come
out with their present views with regard to the Presi
dential election. The re-election of Andrew Jackson
is of too much importance to the people of Georgia, for
them to risk a single vote to chance or uncertainly.
We also call upon them to know who they will sup
port for Vice President—the regularly nominated can.
didate, or one got up.to injure and trammel the present
Administration. Mr. Barbour we have before shown
cannot be elected; It is therefore playing into the
hand* of the Clay party to support him ; and we now
ask these gentlemen—are you for John Scboiant or
Mshtin Van Boren ? the “ Cherokee Attorney," or
a friend ofUnion and the South ? One of the two must
be elected—which will you vote for J
The Athens Meeting.—We feel ourselves called upon
by du y as well aa by inclination, o correct some mis.
takes which have gone abroad with regard to this meet
ing. Some of our friends, particularly at a distance,
seem to be somewhat surprised at finding the venera
ble name of Wm. II. Crawford, attached aa chairman
to the resolutions which emanated from it. Mr. Pem
berton was right in stating some time since, that bis
opponents got the start in appointing anti-nullifiers as
presiding officers to the meeting. Indeed, at the time
tho Hon. William II. Crawford was called to the
chair, and Mr. Hull appointed secretary, it was little
expected by any one that, before its close, the meeting
would assume the character that it did. And si presi
ding officers, those gentlemen could not do less, how
ever repugnant to their feelings it may have been, than
to sign the proceedings of tbs meeting.
Wo fir.d in the late proceedings of some of our sister
counties, on the subject of tbo Tariff; the meeting at
this place at Commencement, ia called the Clark Coun
ty Meeting; and it* results set down is declaratory of
tho feelings and sentiments of thepeople ofthis county,
Now, lor the better information of such, we declare
that the p,ople of Clark county hid nothing to do with
the meeting—either in getting it up or in its delibcra
tions; and consequently are irresponsible for its re
sults. The meeting was called by gentlemen from a
distanco, who were here in attendance on tire Com
mencement, and conducted almost exclusively by
them.
We are not disposed to quarrel with tho resolutions
which passed this meeting—we have before expressed
our acquiescence in the course they prescribe, viz
the call of a convention, because we are confident if it
proves practicable,the results of the convention will he
very different from what is yo anxioasly anticipated by
tho Nulliliers. The amendment proposed by Gen.
Glasscock, disapproving of the doctrine of Nullifies,
tion, and which was lost, would have shared a very
different fate if the people of Clark county had been sit
ting in judgment over it.
Jefferson vs. Calhounism.—When the small band of
diaorganixera in South Carolina, with Cooper and Cal
houn at their head, firat determined in their own minds
to make tho excitement at the South, growing out of
tho Tariff laws, a ground work on which to build their
future operations, having for their object a division of
the States of this great confederacy, they very saga
ciously discovered that to come out openly and ac
knowledge their true object, viz: Revolution, the pa
triotism of the people—their natural love of country,
would at once revolt at 'he idea, and the plana of the
disorgamzers sink forever beneath the frowns of their
just resentment. Hence we find that those artful dema
gogues disguissd their real object; and behind the
•pecious garb of peace and constitutionality, urged upon
the people the doctrine of Nullification. And for the
purpose of adding additional weight to the cause, claim
ed for it the sanction of Virginia, and the great and
popular name of Thomte Jefferson. They laboured
herd to prove to the people that Nullification was not
only a peaceful and constitutional remedy, but, that as
such, Jefferson, who was the author of the Kentucky
reso uliona of *98, hid originated tho doctrine, and that
Madison and the Virginia Legislature had sanctioned
the same, in the celebrated resolutions declaring the
alien and sedition laws unconstitutional. This was
the Mtehiavelian policy determined on (and with but
too mnch success) to hoodwink, blind, and delude the
artless and unthinking, but naturally patriotic and
high minded people nf South Carolina.
Now, whether Mr. Jefferson was, or was not, the
author of that portion of the Kentucky resolutions,
wherein as a last alternative, Nullification is recom
mended as the rightful remedy, is still a disputed point.
But, for the sake of argument, we will admit that he
was—that Thomas Jefferson did acknowledge the
right of a Stato to Nullify an unconstitutional act of
Congress. Our pext enquiry then ia, what did Mr. J.
mean by Nullification as used in that instrument?
Did be intend to recommend it to the States as a con
stitutional measure—as a peaceful mode of redress,
when their rights were infringed by the General Go
vernment ? Or did he simply alluda to it as the “right
ful remedy” in the last resort, the right ofRcvululion I
We have not the least doubt in the world but that Mr.
Jefferson viewed it only in this light, for if he (relieved
it to be both a constitutional and peaceful remedy, why
did he not, instead of being satisfied simply with the
declaration of tho right, recommend Kentucky and
Virginia to act on it at once } They both declared the
alien and aedition laws to be unconstitutional, and
they were both under the influence of Mr. Jefferson.
If then, he believed it to be a peaceful and constitu
tional remedy for the evils under which they were la
bouring, why did he not say to those State*—go on et
once—Nullify and all will be well I But instead of ad
vising this course, we find pervading the whole of those
les-lutions (claimed by the Nnllifieri aaa teat book) a
very different spirit indeed, viz: forbearance and a
full and perfect confidence “ in the good sense of the
people of the United Slates, and in the returning jus
tice of the General Government.”
Mr. Jeffereon claimed for Kentucky, it is true, the
right to Nullify an act of the General Government,
palpably an infringement of the Constitution of the U.
Sltlee. But it wet an alternative ho evidently locked
opon in the seme light as that of revolution—a right we
all acknowledge ae belonging naturally to tho people
of every Government under the son—bat • right which
should only be acted upon under the most hopeless and
gloomy circumstances; bringing in its train, aa it at.
ways doe*, the triple horror* of “ war, pestilence and
famine.”
That this was the only legitimate meaning Mr. Jef
ferson intended to attached to the wotd Nullification,
as used by him in the Kentucky resolutions, we have
in drawing the above conclusion, at least to outaelves,
most satisfactorily proven. But iuorder to strengthen
this conclusion, and to make it as dear os the sun at
noon tide, we will appeal to Mr. Jefferson himself.—
And who, we would sak, is so'well calculated to inter
pret Mr. Jefferson’o meaning as Mr. Jefferson himself?
In his letter to W. C. Nichols, Sept. 1799, spesking of
wbat the Virginia resolutions should contain, ho ssys
“Ezpressingin affectionate tnd conciliatory language
our warm attachment to union with our aiater States,
and to the inatrumeni and principles bv which we ere
united; that we are willing to sacrifice to this every
thing but the rights of self-government in those impor
tant points which we have never yielded, and in wliirh
alone we see liberty, safety and happiness; that net at
all disposed to make every measure of error or of wrong, a
cause of scission, we arc willing to look on with indulgence,
and to wait with patience till those passions and delusions
shall have passed toer, which the federal government
have artfully eacited to cover its own abuses and con-
eeal it* designs, fully confident that the good sense of
the American people, and their attachment to those
very rights which we sre now vindicating will, before
it shall be too Iste, rtliy with us round the true princi
ples of our federal conpnet. This was only meant In
give a general idea of the complezion and topics of
such an instrument. Mr. M„ who came, as hid been
proposed, does not concur in tho reservation proposed
above; and from thia I recede readily, not only in def
erence to hia judgment, but because aa we ahoidd ne
ver think of separation but for repealed and enormous vio
lations, io these, when they occur, will be cause
enough of themselves.”
Again, in 1895, in his letter to Mr. Giles, he says on
theeame subject, viz: the encroachments of the Gene
ral Government on the rights of the States—
“If every infraction of a compact of so many parties is to
be resisted at once, as a dissolution tfil, none can ever be
formed which would last one year, • e must have pa-
l ienee and longer endurancethereu ill) with our brethren
while under delusion; give them time for reflection
end nzperience of consequences; keep ourselves in a
situation to profit by the chapter of accidents; and
■eparate from our companions only when I he sole alter
natives left, are tho dissolution nf our Union with them,
or submission to a government without limitation of
powers. Between thesetwo evils,when we must make
a choice, there can be no hesitation. But, in the mean
while, the states should be watchful to note every, ma
terial usurpation on their rights; to denounce them as
they occur In the most peremptory terms; to protest against
them as wrongs to which our present submission shall be
considered, not as acknowledgements or precedents of right,
but at a temporary yielding to Iks lesesrevil, until their ac
cumulation shall overweigh that qf separation.”
Is this the language of modern Nullification? Or is
it the language of the Union men of the present day ?
But again, in the draft he prepared of a protest from
the Virginia Legislature, in Dec. 1895,he saya:
“ And as a further pledge nf the sincere end cordial
attachment of this Commonwealth to the union ol the
whole, so far aa has been consented to by the compact
called ‘ The Constitution of the United States of Amer
ica,’ (construed according to the plain and ordinary
meaning ofita language, to the common intendment, of
tho time, and of those who framed it;) to give tlso to all
pariiee and authorities,time for reflection and for consid
eration,whether,undcra temperate view of the possible
eonsrquencet, and especially of the constant obstruc
tions which an equivocal majority must ever expect to
meet,they will still prefer the assumption of this pot> er
rather tbsn its acceptance from the free * ill of their con-
slituenls; and to preserve peace in the meanw hile, we
proceed to make it the duty of citizens, until the legis
lature shall otherwise and ultimately decide, to acqui
esce under those acta of the federal branch of our gov
ernment which we have declared lobe usurpation* and
against which, in point of right, we do protest as null,
void, and never to be quoted as precedents of right.
“ We therefore do enact, and be it enacted by the
Geueral Assembly of Virginia, that all citizens of thia
Commonwealth, and persona and authorities within
the same, shall pay full obedience at all timet to the
sets which may be passed by the Congress of the Uni
ted States, the object of which shall be the construction
of post roads, making canals of navigation, and main
taining the same in any part of the United Sates, in
like manner a* if the said acta were, lotidcm verbis,
passed by the legislature of this Commonwealth.”
Now, ifMr. Jefferson believed Nullification to be *
peaceful and eonstilulimut mode of redreas for grievances
of this kind, in the name of Heaven why did he
throughout hia whole life urge upon the people such
arguments as these? It is clear from the above ez
tracts from the pen of Mr. Jefferson himself, that he
never would have resorted to Nullification, or Ri-volu
lion, whilst hia confidence remained unshaken “in the
good sense of the American people,” or in “theirat.
tichments to constitutional rights.” With regard to
the Virginia resolutions penned by Mr. Madieon, in
1798, so far from their containing even tho setnblanc-
of Nullification, throughout the whole of them the doc
trines inculcated are diametrically oppoeed to it, amt
fully sanction* end maintain* the principles of thr
Union party nf the present day. They pronounce the
alien and sedition laws unconstitutional—and what
then ? Recommend Nullification aa the rightful reme
dy ? No, no, thoy simply remonstrate against tho*.-
laws, end recommend Ihs other stales Us do the same, in
order to nullify and make them void by uniting against
them \ht font and strength of public opinion; which, ulti
mately, proved to be the “rightful” and successful
remedy; for in a very short timo those odious enact
ments were repeated by Congress. So far then, from
Mr. Jefferson, or Virginia, ever hsving sanctioned the
doctrine of Nullification as now professed at the South,
their true sentiments are scouted by the new light pa
triots of modern times as pusillanimous—end of course
their authors, lefferson and Mtdison, are branded by
them as fouuders of the modern school of Submission

Great Union Meeting.—The meeting which
took place yesterday wns pronounced by many
competent judges to havo been one of tho ,lnr-
gust ever seen here. The long room of the
Exchange was literally jammed, mid wo have
no doubt that ifthe room had been larger, many
more would havo been present. Never, in
nny community, was there exhibited a greater
unanimity of feeling than hy this meeting.—
“Cnrolinn'e conservative specific, Nullifica
tion,” wns utterly prostrated. But one solitary
voice was raised in favor of Carolina Nullifica
tion, and the gentlemnn .who raised it, at the
end of the meeting, offered a resolution in fa
vour of the re-olection of General Jackson!
When Judge Wayne rose to address the mee
ting, he was saluted withenthusiactic applause.
During the whole course of his remarks he
wns listened to with the utmost attention, ex
cept when he wns interrupted, as lie often was,
by the plaudits of the audience. On taking
his seat, the meeting spontaneously gave three
cheers, and the room rung with the loud apro-
bation of his hearers. His speech wus an ublo
vindication of his course in Congress, and his
constituents in Chatham havo rendered to
him, (what we hope hia constituents in other
parts of the State will do,) the awnrd, " well
done, thou good and faithful servant.” Onr
