Madison, 1st Sept. 1832.
At a meeting of the citizens, of Morgan
Cnuntv, ronvened in the Court House, pursu
ant to previous notice, the annexed Prenmblo
und Resolutions, as reported by Dr J >hn
Wingfield, of the Committee appointed for the
purpose, were read and adopted:
Whereas since 1816, a majority of the Con
gress nf the United States, reckless of the ties
which bind us together as a confederacy, have
been pursuing a system of legislation the most
unequal, and therefore the most unjust:
And whereas the efforts of our delegation
to stay Federal encroachments, and tiring lb
Government bark to a strict construction nf
the Constitution, although partially successful,
as sho'vn in the late Bill of reduction, have noi
by any raenns answered the expectations of
the suffering South
And whereas, the people, of the South,
have no guaranty, that the duties now impo
sed by tho tariff laws will not bo increased un
til the amount to a prohibition:
And whereas, no modification in the amount
of our taxes, so long ns the protective princi
ple, is adhered to, will reconcile us to die
system:
Therefore, Resolved, That wo the freemen
of Morgan in Cnunty Meeting assembled,
respond to the wishes of our fellow-citizen-
of Athens, in part, that is, we recommend
electing delegates, on the 1st Monday in Oc
tober next, to the r.ontcmlplated convention,
which may ussemb'e at Milledgeville on the
2d Monday in November thereafter, but at
he same time require the acts of the convert-
ion to be returned back to the people of Cacti
ounty lor their ratification or rejection, hefnro
the State shall ho committed to any project
whatever.
Resolved, That although “ we are determin
ed never to suffer an invasion of our political
Constitution, however minute the instnneo
may appear, to pass by, without a determined,
persevering resir,tnnee vet, as a matter of
expediency, we feel constrained to indicate
our decided preference, as a mode of action,
for a convention of such Slates, as
posed to the Protective System, on the ground
of,ts unconslitutioniilily.
Col. James C. Terrell expressed himself as de>
j cidedly opposed to the Protective Tariff Sys
tem, and also as opposed to the doctrine of Nul
lification—Capt Wm. Hammond opposed the
Resolutions, in regard to the Tnriir, thinking
them too favorable, und also contended, that the
question should be delayed to some other day.
But saidthat he was not a Nullifier—Samuel
Shannon Esq. reir.arkedthathe wasdecidedly op
posed to Nullification, hut thought that all action
upon the subject should be postponed till some
subsequent dav. The question was, however,
finally taken upon the adoption of the Preamble
and Resolutions, and carried by a large majori
ty. The candidates for the Legislature were
then called upon, and every one of them, to wit:
Doct. H., Freeman, A. E. Whitten, Esq. Col.
Ash, Col. Patrick, P. R. Jones, Esq. Maj. John
K. Stanford, (repeated his opposition,) Joseph
Yates, Esq., Reuben Mitchell, Esq. severally
expressed themselves unreservedly in opposi
tion to Nullification.
The people of Franklin County having con
vened, for the purpose of taking into considera
tion tho necessity of reducing the number of
members in the State Legislature; and having
gone through the avowed purpose of their as
semblage ; and having always cherished a strong
and ardent attachment for our Republican form
of government, and our free institutions, and
being taught to believe that tbo prosperity and
continuance of these, depend mainly upon tho
Union of the States; that a government which
has excited the admiration, and has deservedly
won the respect of tho civilized world, demand
from the hands of every freeman, no ordinary
exertions to preserve it entire, and in its origi
nal and constitutional purity—that the cost of
tho Union of these States, was the blood of
thousands, its value the happiness of millions.—
Wc cannot be insensible to the fact, that a crisis
is fast approaching, which may shake it to its
very foundation—a crisis fraught with impor
tance to the destinies, not only of this country,
but to tho causo of freedom throughout the
world. The downful of this government, the
destruction of this Union, will animate the wan
ing spirit of despotism, and chill with a death-
damp, tho proud spirit of freedom’s votaries, in
other parts cf tho Globe, who have hitherto been
guided by independent America, as their “ cloud
by day,” and their “pilW of fire by night.”
The evils that would result from a dissolution
of this Union, cannot bo enumerated—Let tho
mutch bo once applied, und the explosion effect-
nre op-1 e( l, when, when, could wo hope to collect togeth-
cround er scattered fragments. We beseech our
| countrymen earnestly, seriously to reflect, and
uo therefore, earnestly desire his success in the
approaching Presidential contest.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be signed by the Chairman and Secretary,

JACKSON COUNTY MEETING.
In conformity with a resolution of a prelimi
nary meeting, a large and respectable number
themselves the shadow of virtue, and thereby
mislead the honest rind unwary.
Some discussion arose upon the introduction
of Mr. Matthews’Resolutions, the question was
soon called for and taken, upon agreeing to the
substitute, which was lost, by an overwhelming
majority. Tho preamble and resolutions re
ported by tho Committee, was then taken up by
sections, and passed almost unanimously. The
third and fifth resolutions passed without a dis
senting voice.
Ordered, that tho proceedings of the meeting
be signed by the Chairman, and countersigned
by the Secretary, and be published in tho public
of the citizens of Jackson County, assembled Gazettes of Athens and Milledgeville.
Resolved That wo are unqualifiedly opposed deliberate upon the miseries that such an event
to the doctrine of Nullification, believing it to' would entail upon us, and we invoke tho spirit
at Jefferson, on Friday, the 7th September, to
decide upon the election of delegates to a State
Convention, to ho held in Milledgeville, on the
2d Monday in November next, for the purpose
of taking into consideration, the best means of
riding ourselves, in common with all the South,'
of the existing protecting Tariff. Joseph Hamp
ton, Esq. was called to the Chair, and Giles
Mitchell, Esq, vas appointed Secretary. Wil
liam E. Jones, F.sq. introduced the following
preamble and resolutions, prepared by a Com
mittee appointed for that purpose, and support
ed them, by a lengthy and interesting speech,
against the constitutonality and expediency of
the Tariff.
The citizens of Jackson County, in common
with their fcilow-citizcm of the other sections
of the State, have Ions felt the oppressive ope
ration of the laws of the Congress of the United
States, usually denominated the TarifT laws;
and have borne its unequal burthens, with the
more patience, in anticipation of the approach of
that period, when the national debt should bo
extinguished, confidently hoping that anterior
to that event, the Tariff would be modified by
Congress, so as to reduce thi revenue, to the
actual wants of the Government; and, in such
modification, tho interests of agriculture and
commerce would receive equal justice, with the
long-cherished interests of the manufacturers,
But, in this, our reasonable expectations have
been disappointed. For, although flic modified
Tariff, passed at the late session of Congress,
has very considerably reduced the amount of
revenue, and the duties on somo articles which
are considered common necessaries of life, and,
upon the whale, lightened our burthens, yet the
modification has been digested upon the princi
ples of the former Tarifi, and is to us equally or
more objectionable, because more unequal, -ind
therefore moreun just. More unequal for,although
the South will pay less tax than they did, under
the Tariff oft 82S—yet, they will pay a larger
proportion of the aggregate amount of the re
venue, than they did, under the Tariff of that
year. Believing that the present, as well as the
repealed Tariff, is unauthorised hy the plain
construction, and true intent and meaning of the
Co’dilution; that it is unjust, unequal, oppres
sive, and in its operations, destructive to tho a-
gricultuiing and commercial interests of the
South, and fearing that those whose interests
tho law was intended to subserve, and whose
influence now preponderates in the national
councils, will be disposed to continue this une
qual and unjust system of taxation upon us for
ever.
Resolved, That a final and endless submis
sion, on our part, to the unconstitutional', unjust,
unequal, and oppressive system of taxation im
posed upon us, liy tho protective or Tnriff poli
cy, would ho a base surrender of a portion of
our liberties and constitutional rights, and a sa-

Ceneral JaeLton md the ffvttUs. —We received by tbo
lift mail a request from two of our nullifying friends
at Gainesville, to discontinue their ptpera. Among
other things, they complain that we »ey “no nullifier
can consistently support Gen. Jackson and that they
will (till support him at Messrs. Forsyth amt Wayno
did the late hill reducing the Tariff, “ at the lesser of
two evils." Now, this is the very reason why w<t sup-
posed they, the nullitirre, could not consistently tup-
port Jackson; for lie did eomo lime since, in hia letter
to the Union party in So. Ca. very clearly intimate hi*
determination, as Executive of the V. 8. tti put down
nullification so soon as it resolved itself into sn overt
set nf rebellion against the It we of the country. Hen
ry Clay hat never gone thus far, and we should of
course, if we were Nulliflcrs, hardly consider that man
“ the leutrqf two evils" uIn had not only denounced
our principles as wicked in Ihoory, but threatened in
his official capacity, to regard them as. treason Me,
whenever that “ theory" should be reduced to “prac
tice.”

and highly gifted ‘ Oglethnrpo’ as lenders, we
cherish u hope, the difficulties and dangers
which threaten our political bark, may be dis

torch.light nftlio revolution.”
Resolved, Thnt we rejoice to perceive the
leading Newspaper Editors o( this Slate,
using their best exertions lo enlighten, and not
inflame the public mind on the subject of
southern suffering—Such n Press cannot be
intimidated hv tho intemperate in feeling, or
subsidized by corrupt overtures of any sort,
Resolved, That approving the administration
of Andrew Jnekson, the venerable Chief Ma
gistrate of the United Slates, we look lo his
re-election with intense interest, and that we
also approve the nomination of Vico President
by the republican Convention at Baltimore, and
will support the nominee.
Resolved, That a copy of the procnedinz-
oflhis meeting, as also of the preparatory mee
ting held at Ibis place on Tuesday the 21st of
Augugt last, after being signed by the Chair
man and countersigned by the Secretary, be
forwarded for publication to the Editors of the
Georgia Journal, Federal Union, Southern
Banner, and Augusta Constitu ionalist.
The Resolutions were submitted for ndop-
lion, separately, lo the meeting. The first
passed unanimously nnd without debate; the
adoption of the second wits opposed in a speech
of some length, by Lucius L. AVittich, Esq.
and advocated by Charier Campbell, Kugenius
A, Nisbet, and M. B. Lamar, Esq. but was
finally odonted with but one dissenting voice;
when the 3d resolution was read, Col. Wm.
Porter submitted the following as a substitute:
Resolved, Thnt we are unqualifiedly opposed
to the dortrine of submission, believing it to be
slavish and degrading in it** character, anil in
its results will lead to the entire subjugntion of
the South, and the destruction of the Indepen
dence of the States. After considerable debate,
in which the ndnption ofibe substitute was ad-
vocated by .Weekly J. Peannan nnd Robert
Pearman, F.sqrs. and opposed by Doct. John
Wingfield, and Eugenius A. Nisbet and Lucius
L. Wittich, Esqrs. the substitute was with
drawn, when Col. Porter moved to e'riko out
ings ot inspiration
tions. If wo know onrsclvcs, all minor consid
erations, arc, on this occasion, entirely lost in
tho deepest solicitudo for tho institutions, the
peace, and the happiness of our country. And
that our opinions may be known, at a time when
ninny of our most distinguished citizens, and
public servants, are industriously attempting to
disseminate among the people of Georgia, the
dangerous heresies of a sister State, and arc us
ing their talents and influence, to raise a party
for the avowed object of opposing the laws of
tho Union:
Resolved, That we believe the Tariff Laws of
tho United States, to bo unjust and, unequal irt
their operation upon tho country, inexpedient
for its “ general welfare,” and particularly op
pressive on tho Southern States, but that we
view tile recent modification, os a concession
to the just demands of the people of tho South,
and as a disposition in Congress, gradually to
abandon tho whole system.
Resolved, That we will use every effort, and
resort tu all proper means, -to free ourselves
from the anticipated evils of tho Tariff, but that
“ we think they have been exaggerated, and that
some ot the remedies proposed, are mat;e dele
terious than the Tariffitself.”
Resolved, That we view the doctrine af Nul
lification, as delusive in theory, and dangerous
in practice, and as directly leading to civil war
and disunion. ,
Resolved, That a State Convention, as re
commended by tho Athens meeting, “ with full
power to maintain, preserve, and defend the
rights and privileges of the free citizens of this
State, is clothed with powers too broad and un
restrained, and at a time of great excitement,
like the present, inexpedient and exceedingly
dangerous.”
Resolved, That, should w'o deem it necessa-
to elect delegates to the proposed Convention,
we will, at some future day, do so, expressly
instructing them to oppose any measures con
templating rash or violent apposition to tho laws
of the Union, and “ we shall protest against the
authority of any acts of that Convention, which
are not duly ratified by the people in their re
spective counties.”
Resolved, That our faith and confidence in
the wisdom, firmness, and integrity of Andrew
lackson, being unshaken, and believing his re-
election to the Presidency absolutely necessary,
and required in the present State of affairs, we
crifico of our interests, to which wo never can
consent.
Resolved, That our devotion to the Union
and veneration for the Constitution, are not sur
passed by the citizens of any other section of
tho confederacy; nnd that, having stood by the
former “ through evil report, as well as through
good,” we avow ourselves to be willing to abide
by the latter, if administered in its purity and
virtue, down to the end of time.
Resolved, That wc will appoint delegates to
the State Convention, to he held at Millcdge-
ville, on the 2d Monday in November next, nnd
that David Witt, W'illiam Pentecost, John Pnrk,
und John G. Pittman, be appointed delegates to
represent Jackson county, in snid Convention
Resolved, That our delegates to snid Con
vention, bo, nnd they uro hereby instructed to
use their endeavours to procure the call of a
Convention of all the States opposed to the pro
tective policy, at as early a period ns possible:
nnd that they bo further instructed to abstain
from a resort to direct nnd forcible opposition
to the Tarifi’; but to lenvo the same to the wis
dom, prudence, nnd discretion of tho U. States.
Resolved, That we entertain an undiminislicd
confidence in the integrity, patriotism, end firm
ness of Gen. Jackson, and that we arc without
division of sentiment or feeling, unanimously in
liivor of his re-election to the Presidency.
Allen Matthews, Esq. ottered the following
as a substitute.

having been called, for the purpose of advising
on tho inode of resisting the Tariff, have, this

they are forwarded us particularly for publication,) the
rule of limply noticing them as they occur, nnd their
peculiar characteristics, editorially. A large and rc
spectable meeting was held on tho 3d and 4ll» inst. in
Burke County—Messrs. Berrien, Forsyth and Wayne,
each addressed tho mooting—of course, very sidy and
eloquently—Berrien, strange ns it may seem, denied
that nullification tons the rightful remedy, or the constitu-
tinnality of a Southern Convention, nnd recommended
a State Convention. Tho meeting approved of a State
Convention, hut that ita proceedings be returned to the
people for their adoption—recommended tho re-elec
tion of Gen. Jutkaon, and opposed almost unanimous
ly the dot trine of nullitiention.
A gre.it Union Meeting was held in Liberty county,
on the 1st inst. The resol itions adopted urtanimously
hy this meeting declare nullification to be unennstitu

Jackson as important to the interests of the State and
the U. S.
A meeting, estimated at 1500 persons, was hold at
Lawrencevillc on the 4th inst. where resolutions, in

Wc believe the present Tariff to be unjust, j that the nets ot said convention be returned ts the
unwise, and oppressive, because it has a tun- people for their consideration
dency to tramel free trade and intercourse with
mankind, and therefore deprives us of a portion
of our natural liberty, which is not necessary for
the maintenance of the balance.
We hold that the people of this, or any other
country, have a rightto shake off’the bonds of
government, when they become too heavy to be
bum", but they should first look well to the sub
ject, and see clearly that their condition would
be bettered by the change.
Resolved, therefore, That it is inexpedient, at
the present time, for the people to resist the Ta
riff, (except in the manner heretofore used,) or
to adopt any measure, which would have a ten
dency, directly or indirectly, to dissolve the Un
ion.
Resolved, Thnt we believe many of our good
citizens, who differ in opinion with us, on this
subject, act under excited feelings, and there
