1 jret the evil* arising firm the present r'°tec- live system, are not in my opinion, so urea', as to authorize or justify the adoption of nulli fication, or noy other measure, which will tend to disturb the peace and harmony of this ereal republic, or endanger the Union of these Slates. I am proud of the title of “ Citizen of the United Stales.” The great Apostle of the Gentiles found protection under the name of “ Roman declaring to the Chief Captain that,he was “born free.” I, too, was “born free,” and enjoy honor arid protection under the “ Star spangled banner.” I nm unwilling to blot out from this glorious standard of mv native land one single star. I.et them all re main. Their united light sheds a lustre over our country and our liberty, which swells with joy every patriot bnsnm. With sentiments of great respect, I am your most obedient servsnl. WILLIAM SCHLEY. AIcssrs. Cummin'', King and Slaughter, Columbus, 151ft Sepl. 1832. Gentlemen,—In consequence of absence from homo for the Inst two woeks, your com munication of the 20th of last month, in com pliance with a duty imposed by the citizens nf Richmond County, requesting my sentiments upon the subject of nullification, has but this moment been received, 1 recognize the right of thn people to inter rogate those who solicit their siiflrogo upon all subjects connected with the public interest, consequently hold myself ready to answer at all times freely and frankly. I am opposed to nullification, believing it to be, neitiicr a peaceable or constitutional remedy against the evils complained of—bin a revolutionary measure when reduced to practice. And whatever feelings of hostility I may entcrloin towards tho protective system, or however unequal in ila operations, unjust and oppressive in its consequcncos.l may con sider it, I am not at this lime prepared to join in the support of any measure which must in evitably end in the dissolution of our govern- mnnt. Nor can I adopt the idea that tho sys. tern has become thn settled policy of the coun try. Tho public debt is nearly extinguished a national ciiangn will take place in Congress, under the lato census, Thn system has com- roenced a retrogression. The present admin istration is avowedly with us upon this subject. Those circumstances, together with n gener al knowledge of the great difficulty in enfor cing a law contrary to tho will of so large n portion of this country, presents to my mind cheering considerations in fuvor of its speedy icpenl. The language of tho father of our country upon this subject, would seem to me, appro priate ; he says, “wo should cherish a cordial, habitual and immovcahlo attachment to our N ional Union, accustoming ourselves to th ok nnd speak of it, ns of the palladium of our political safety and prosperity, watching for ita preservation with jvulnits anxiety, discoun tenancing whatever may suggest even n suspi cion that it can, in any event, he abandoned, and indignantly frowning upon the first dawn ing of every attempt to uliomito any portion nl' our country from the rest, nr to enfeeble the sacred lira which now link together the variuus l arts.” With groat respect, your obedient and hum ble servant, JAMES C. WATSON. Messrs. Cumming. King and Slaughter. Monme, (Walton County,) Aug. 29, 1h32. Messrs. Cummin", King and Slaughter. GentlemenYnurfuvor under dale 20lh inst. os a Committee appointed by n Meeting of the Citizens of Richmond County, has this moment been received, and I hasten to answer tl. The importance of tho crisis is such in my opinion as justifies not only the cilizens of Richmond, but of every County in tho State, to demand of those who present themselves for public favor, a frank and full avowal of their sentiments; it is whqt voters hnvo ii right to de mand and what candidates have no right to withhold. Thus impressed, I can have no objection to give you, and through you to my Fellow-Citizens of Richmond and every other County, “my sentiments in regard to Nullifi cation.” If I understand whnt its advocates in n neighboring State and tlioso in nur own, mean hy tho term—it is, tlint a State, in its Sovereign character, bus a right to interpose and prevent tho execution of a law of Congress, for instance tho Law regulating the duties on imports, nod yet remain a member of tho confederacy—nnd it ia urged in support of this, that as one of the originul parties to the contract, no umpire hnv- ing been chosen, the' the State in its Sovereign character has the right to judge of any infrac tion and of the mode and measuro of redress, and in the application of this rule, that ifCon- giess should pass any law which any State should believe In he viola'ive nf the -original compact, such Stale has a right to interpose and prevent its execution within its Territory. Grant this power, and the wheel* of the Ge neral Government are as securely locked as its worst enemies could desire. Every law of a general nature passed by Congress, some one State might interpose it* sovereignty and prevent i's execution—for it is not material whether the Law be unconstitutional or not, so a Slate will consider it so ; they would have the right to treat it accordingly, and from Lou isiana to Now-Hampshire oue universal scene of confusion might prevail. Can such a state of thing; he desired t A State in its sovereign character may do what she pleases within her own Territory, protided, however, she does not interfere with another Sovereignty.— There cannot be two Sovereigns over the aame subject, and at the laying of dotio* on import* is delegated to the General Govern ment, it is Sovereign for that purpose, end the Sute may not exercise her sovereignty to the prejudice of the other. > But to be more particular, its sdvocstes bare contended that it is a Constitutional nnd pcaceablo remedy. Therois nothing in the Constitution that can he to* fared into the giving such power. As to its being a peacea ble remedy, that would depend entirety on the General Government whether or not it would enforce its La tvs or attempt it; if she would not attempt to enforce her Laws, then to be sure it would bo peaceable. But can any man. who has an ounco of human sense, believe for one moment, that the General Government would fold its arms and permit its revenue laws to ho thus prostrated without tin effort to enforce them ? No rnan can believe it. But say its advocates, it is peaceable on the pnrt of the S'a'.e, and when the law is attempted to he enforced, the General Government is the aggressor, mid the State would have the right of resisting force bv force. So was the whiskey insurrection in Pennsylvania peaceable, until Gen. Washington put forth the arm of the Government to crush it. So is every armed smuggler very peaceable,provided the Govern- mnnt will not attempt to arrest or seize. It is, then, in my opinion, neither a constitutional nor peaceable remedy. If, then, it hn neither Constitutional, or peaceable, how is it to be justified 1 In no oilier way than as a revolu tionary measure, and for one,I am free to con fess, I nm nut prepared to wish tny Country plunged in all the horrors of a Civil War. It is snid by some of tho hut spurs, that For eign aid would he invited. Arc they sure it would be obtained, and if obtained would not thn Foreign power thus aiding, demand and receive some equivalent, and would not such equivalent in nil human probability, ho a bur den grievous to be borne? It is n subject of tho deepest interest not only to our own coun try but In the civilized world : our institutions have been considered a polar star for the march of freedom every where. Shall wo ex tinguish this light ? Shall we, by being flat tered nnd wooed for a few months, follow in the wake? Rush to the side, or lead tho van of those who in their mad career hnvo now reached and are pausing on the brink of the precipice, and looking to see what we shall do? I hope for better ihings. I trust tlint the effervescence will pass elf, and that those who for reasons best known In themselves, have laboured to produce this excitement, will he disappointed—that Georgia will bo found, as she always has been, Into to Ilerself, tho Con stitution and the Union. You will readily perceive that my ideas have been thrown together hastily nnd without sys tem. I have this evening reached home from Court nnd the mail waits. Should mv views meet the approbation of my Fellow-Citizens, it will ho gratifying, otherwise it would he a source of regret, alleviated, however, by the smiles of an approving conscience. Very respectfully, your Fellow-Citizen, THOMAS \V. HARRIS. Macon, Ga. August 30. Gentlemen,—Tho Augusta Constitutionalist of the. 28th inst. having just now been put into my hands, I Imvo read and approved yeur circular of the 20th. In reply, I have to o|> servo that I urn nnd ever hnvo boon opposed to n dissolution of tho Union of tho North Amer ican Slates, nnd that I view Nullification, as it is explained in Georgia nnd South Carolina, us having no place in the Federal Constitution, ns a fraud attempted to ho imposed on tho peo ple, and that, should it unfortunately ho brought into practical operation, it cannot fail to pro duce nnareliy, ratline and civil war, and thn dissolution of the U. States us a confederated body. With much esteem, gentlemen, I remain your obedient sorvant. DANIEL M. STEWART Messrs. Cumming, King and Slaughter. iPorrCaw. From Smyrna.—Wo have received our files of Smvrna papers to July 1, containing d-itcs from Constantinople to June 26. The Otto man fleet, composed of 57 vessels ol war and nearly an equal,number of transports, had sailed from the Dardanelles, and direciod its course toward tlih island of Candia. A mili tary Inspector general had been sent into Amatolia, to hasten tho march of the last corps which had joined the army, and to communi cate new orders from the Sullnti to the coin- mandur-in-chief. The latest news from Syria announce that the advance guard nf the Otto man army was marching "pon Mamma and Aleppo. The latest accounts from Ibrahim Pacha were that nfler the fall of Acre he had inarched upon Aleppo with his army,leaving a strong portion of it at Humma to observo the Turkish camp. The birth day of Prince Otho had been celebrated with groat rejoicings in different parts of Greece. At Napoli there were illu minations and lire works, with music and dan cing throughout the night. The newly elec ted National Assembly had convened at Argos.—Boston Daily Advertiser. From Brasil.—The ship Maria, at New York, brings the editors of the Journal of Commerce Rio de Janeiro papers to the 1st of August inclusive. They contain an ac count of tho resignation of the Ministers of the Regency, in consequence of a vote of the Sen ate refusing (yeas 17, nays 18) to dismiss from office Sr. Andrade, tutor of tho young Emperor Don Pedro II. said Andrade hav ing been strongly suspected by the Regen cy, ns well as others, of having abetted tho attempted revolution a number of months sinco in favor of Don Pedro I. The city was thrown into great excitement in consequence of this event, hilt the vigilance of the justices of tho peace, and thn presence of the National Guard, prevented any disorders. Tho House of Delegates had been anxious ly deliberating on the subject, and on the eve ning of the 31st, voted not to accept the resig. nation. It was doubtful whether the Senate would concur. A decree of the Regency, in accordance with an net of the General Legislative Assem bly, directs the enlistment of 1500 men to re inforce the army. every direction.” Wo sincerely sympthize with them in their affliction. In Baltimore, the disease appears to he aba ting. In the 24 hours ending at 10 o’clock Wednesday, total 25 deaths, (13 white and 12 colored.) ’ To Thursday, 9 whiles and 8 col ored, total 17. To Friday morning, 12 whites and 7 colored, total 19. In Washington, for the 24 hours ending a' noon Wednesday, 16 new cases, and 8 deaths. To Thursday noon, 22 new cases, and 10 deaths. We give below the regular Reports of the Board of Health since our last paper It will he seen that we have much cause to felicitate ourselves on tho small number of deaths and new cases, which have taken place since this destroyer made its appearance. We have conversed with several enlightened practition ers, who nssure us that it yields readily to me dicine, if taken in its earliest stage.—Rich mond Enquirer. A good beginning.—An Agricultural Socie ly has lately been got up in this place, and ul ready numbers about 70 members. As it ap pears animated with a good deal of enterprise, we hope to see important results from its op oration. This we believe is the only Society of the kind at prntent in the Slate; but we hope soon to sea them springing op in every town and captain’s district. Let this lie done, and Agriculture would take a new start—this important but too much neglected branch of industry would assume the rank and respecta bility it is entitled to. Our old worn out fields would begin to assume a new oppearanco.— Instead of bare red hills, wo should see green fields and good crops. Instead of meager starving quadrupeds, iiiinling in tho highways, nur eyes would lie greeted with sleek fat cat tle, the very sight of which would do the heart good.—Southern Planter.

Grout ulnrm prevails in consequence of the spread of Cholera,and its indiscriminate havoc in all ranks. Some ol the most wealthy per sons in Glasgow liavo become its victims, although its ravnges are principally confined to the closely inhabited parts of the town. It is remarked—“ It is no uncommon thing for a man to part with his friend in the evuning, and in the morning to hear that ho is in his grave ; persons in robust health are suddenly alturkcd, nnd in a few hours full beneath its pressure. Tho alarm is groatly aggravated by tho mysterious nature of the disease, which sets the best medical skill at defiance. During Ihu present week there have been in the city and inimediato suburbs 6!2 cases reported, but many donlhs occur which never reach the Board of Health.” On tho 4lh, it wus ex tremely virulent, and many respectable per sons had died ; in tho Barony Parishes, to 3 o’clock, 62 now cases and 23 deaths.

No boat, not even a fishing smack, cun navigate in lh« Tugus. The inhabitants nre obliged to b« nl home nt six o’clock, nt which hour th* shops are closed.

Tho Nimvellisle, which gives an article from Madrid, of th: 26th,with official accounts from Portugal It the 21st, which confirm, says thn article, a I the reports already sent to us on the tranquil- lily that the kingdom enjoys, nnd which is only equalled by the enthusiasm that all the inlml> hunts show for his Majesty Don Miguel, U whom they give tho most unequivocal proofi of their attachment. The report of Don Pedro’s victory at Vo- long*, over the troops of Miguel, is fully con firmed. Don Pedro continued to occupy Oporto. The following is from the London Times of the 7th nit. The apprehension of the 1'rionds‘of Portu guese freedom were yesterday painfully exci- ted by accounts which reached town in the morning, that the Marquis of Patmella had arrived at Falmouth, from Oporto, and had brought intelligence of tho total failure of Don Pedro’s expedition. The story was vaguely told, and had multiplied versions, but in every aspect the news appeared disastrous. The Oporto papers, which had been received to the 30th uh. did not dissipate the alarm though they furnished no ground to justify it; and every body interested in the intelligence waited with impatience for the arrival of the official despatches.

From tho facts they state, there can hardly lie any doubt that, before this time, the usurper Uuslemente, if alive, is a fugitive nr n prisoner; mid lhat the city, nnd all Mexico, require lor the complete restoration of order and of constitutional law, only the presonco of Goneral Pedrazo in the Presidential Chair, to which he sooms to be called by tho general voice nf the republic. Thp disturbances in Texas arose, it seems, from a resistance by the American settlers, to the attempts made by llustemente’s government to supplant or control tho civil by the military power.

AVe have been anxious to do this before the election, in order that their views on those important subjects should he fully known to the people. We ubserve that an effort hae been made by one or two leading Clark papers, to injure the election of Messrs. AA'ilde, Foster and Gilmer, three distinguished and patriotic individuals, who are now before the people as candidates for Congress—they have been act down by them ae nulliticrs. With regard to Messre. Wilde and Gilmer, we appeal to their letters published to-day, for a satisfactory refutation of the calumny. Col. Foster’s speech at the Lexington din- tier, if no other proof could be adduced, is clear and explicit as In hit sentiments—he is in favor of a Sou thern Convention, end not nullification. We are aware that erroneous opinions have gone abroad with regard to our feelings and senlimenta on the subject of this election. They litve doubtless grown out of the fact of our uncompromising opposi tion to the doctrine of nullification. Many individuala have concluded, that with our view* on this subject, we could not support an individual for any office, who profeasrd it We disclaim the inference. AA’e are, and have always been, too warmly attached to the great Republican party of this State, to allow an isnta of individuala who feel ns we feci, and act as we would have them act on all other leading questions of pol, cv both local and general. Whatever may have been o« opposition to the opinions of any of our candidate with •I'gard to nullification, it has been confined to thej, tews on this particular subject, without extending to heir claims to our suffrages. We felt ourselves called ipon, by every dictate of honor and integrity, to npp ott i doctrine which wc believed to ho dangerous to the country, and hazardous lo the interests of the party t 0 which we belong j but in opposing it we disclaim the imputation of having the leasl desire lo injure, on ihj, ground, Ihe election of one single individual now before the people as a candidate for Congress. Were nullifi. era proposed as candidates for the Legislature, or f or seats in the contemplated Convention, we in candor must admit it would be a most suicidal act for us to yield them our support—in Congress we conceive the case is different. The advocates of the doctrine f r , ;rn other Stntes, have in that body, as we believe unjuati fiably, opposed many of tho measures of the present administration; and it has been asked—will not i) l0 nulliticrs of Georgia do tile same? We know not «l lat may he the prevalent sentiments among the adherents of that doctrine, but we arc well assured thst none of our candidates will be found in tho opposition at Wash melon. This objection, then, which we regard at t|.. only important one, though valid in its general app|p cation, will not do for the individual cases before us — la other respects their orthodoxy on questions involving the interests of the South, and their distinguished sbik ilies to exert an influence ov. r those questions, gi vt them high claim: to the suffrages of the |>eoplc of Geor gia. The ticket for members of our State Legislature from this county, published above, needs no recommendation from us. The gentlemen who comprise it are known, and w c trust the result of the polls on Monday next, will sanction their claims to the confidence of their fellow citizens. —GG©— ;CPAftcr the columns of ottr paper for the present week had been nearly filled, we received a eommuni- cation over Ihe signature of “A Plain Dealer,” Ihe oh- ject of which appears to he, to correct romc illegal erroneous statements in the Georgia Courier, with re spect to the late meeting in Clarkestillc. We are un able to give it publicity this week; hut if the respected author will intimate his wish to that effect, and direst it of some personality which wo at all times decline in serting, it shall a.qrcnr hereuher. “ A Plain Dealer” vindicates Gen. Cleveland, Co!. T. J. Rusk, and others who advocated the resolutions first introduced, from the charge of nullification,' states that they were the advocates of Stale Rights, but op. posed to the South Carolina doctrine, and lo uncondi tional submission. He says further, that Ihe repotuf there being between eight hundred and a Ibouud persons present, is exaggerated; and that “all sin advocated tho substitute were Tariff men but two, mi all but two were Anti-Jackson men.” The publish'.! proceedings, lie says, arc “repletewiih injustice,'"wit ting in condor, nnd that considerable which is necn. sary to a fair understanding of the facts, is suppress'd. Far ourselves, wc take no part in the controversy, hot are willing, at any time when our limits will admit, lu insert any thing calculated to elicit facts, if it can hr dono without interfering with the private cliaraclcrstf 1 individuals. —QG©— Voire of Georgia.—Meetings on the subject of the Tariffund the contemplated convention, continue tobs held in the different counties of this State. In addi tion to those before mentioned wc have received u- counts from the follow ing: McIntosh Comity.—Tho resolutions adopted at th: meeting held in this county, nre opposed lo Nullifici. linn and a Slate Convention, but reaerveto the penp!' of the county the right lu send delegates if circumstan ces render it necessary. Tho Scrivcn meeting adopted resolutions concutric; with those adopted at Athens. Toe meeting in Elbert resolved lo send delegates to the Convention, and called upon all Ihe South'd States lo co-operato with them in their effurts to put down the '1 ariff System. In Habersham—The meeting resolved to oppose d candidates for the Legislature or Congress, who wet in favour of Nullification. Disapproved of a convu- tion, nnd recommend action through the Lcgislaltirrofl tho subject of our grievances. Hancock—Adopted resolutions in fuvourof aconten* tion, reserving to the people tho right ratifying or re- jeeting its proceedings. ApproveJ of the vote of Mes srs. Forsyth and Wayne, and opposed nullification ir the rightful remedy for the evils of tho Tariff. Bulloch—Resolved to elect a delegate totheccnnn- tion, declared herself unconditionally opposed lo .Nul lification, sud resolved lo support no candidate wbu believed in the doctrine. Tho meeting in Houston resolved to vend a delegate In the convention with instructions to oppose any roei* sure connected with nullification. Camden—Deprecates a convention with undcSwi powers, recommends the subject of the Tariff to the be gislaturc, und approved of Messrs. Forsyth sri U ayne’s voles. Glynn—Believes Nullification to be false in tltMl and dangerous in practice—resolved to send a delegr't to the convention w ith instructions to oppose the hus sy, and approved of Messrs. Forsyth and tVayne'i votes. Pulaski—Resolved that she was opposed lo nullified tion, iccommeuded the election of two delegates to the Convention, the results of the convention to be laid h* fore the people for adoption or rejection, and approved ifthevotes ofMessrs. Forsythand Wayne. Itftngham—Believe* nullification if acted upon to be dangerous to our liberties and the Union, and reuolred to give their suffrages to no rnan who professed tbs doctrine—disapproves of a State Convention, but re- commends one composed of delegates from all 'bo Southern States, and approves of Messrs. Forsyth Mid Wayne’s votes. —GO©-— South Carolina.—The edict has gone forth—Jo* 1 " ^ Calhoun Itaa spoken, and South Carolina will nullify!! Nullify,not an assumption of power by a single depan meat of the Government, involving the individual in terest or rights of a single slate, but a law passed by ihe Congreaa of the United-States—approved by the Executive, nnd in which all the members of the Union are equally interested—a law as Mr. Gilmer observes. ‘ which has been passed upon a subject over which Congress has, by the Coastitulion, the exclusive potter of Legislation.” We have heretofore doubted wliether or not South Carolina would hazard a step fraught with such over whelming consequences to faertelf and to the Union, but now we are fully satisfied—Gov. Hamilton ba* *' length succeeded in throwing Mr. Calhoun in the van
