Millcdgeville, Nov. 21, 1832. j
To the H. of Representatives—
Since the commencement of the drawing of
the Lotteries, now in progress, several indi
viduals have drawn prizes, who have commu
nicated to me that they are noi legally entitled
to the prizes thus drawn, but that it has occur
red from the mistake of the persons who regis
tered and returned their names for draws, or
those who have prepared and superintended
the Lotteries. These persons being unwil
ling that their characters should be liable lo
the imputation of fraud, have expressed llieir
willingness to relinquish all claim to the pri
zes thus drawn ; and tho acts of the Legisla
ture having made no provision for such cases,
cither ns regards the relinquishment, or Ihe
mode of disposing of such land, I have thought
proper to submit the case lo the Legislature,
and suggest the propriety of such legislation
as may provide for these, and nil similar cases.

Letter from our Correspondent, dated
Millcdgeville, Nov. 21, 1832.
Gehti-eme!*,—I shall say nothing in this
letter relative to tho proceedings of the Le
gislature, only that new Commissioners are
provided by law and were elected on Saturday,
to expedite the drawing of the lottery—let your
readers look out for prizes, fur tho wheels of
fortune move rapidly.
The Convention is tho absorbing topic of
conversation ond interest; in this theme all
minor mailers are merged. It has filled men’s
heads with schemes and speculations, their
hearts with novel emotions, nnd clothed their
tongues with eloquence. For the first time I
witnessed the people assembled by iheir dele
gates, to consult, ns did tho virtuous nnd brave
of ’76, upon tho mode and measure of resis
tance to tyranny ; it was an imposing specta
cle, a sublime exhibition ; a whole communi
ty, quietly, solemnly, and with determined
purpose, moving in the great cause of South
ern rights. Some of our greatest and best
were here, men whose characters alone guar-
nnlee the prudence and wisdom of their deeds ;
and some too, of the untitled, undistinguished,
untalentod ones; men, as Oglethorpo said
“ by tho catalogue,” fit only lo follow, when
higher and nobler spirits lead. This latter
class constituted the majority. Berrien and
Forsyih were the leaders, and truly they have
Ipd to opposite points ; Iheir course nnd their
fortunes from this lime forward, must be diver
gent. The debates were nil of the skirmish
ing order, there was little of solemn argu
ment, and the greater part of the debate origi
nated upon Mr. Forsyth’s propositions to en
quire into tho qualifications of the delegates.
This discussion was animated, exciting, some
times personal, and eloquent throughout; em
bracing in its range, these great principles of
primary action, which govern conventions of
the people. The principles contended for by
Mr.F.and his friends, are involved in their pro
test, which I herewith send you. Hi* oppo.
nenta contended, and ns I thought curreclly,
that any prima facie evidence of the election
of delegates by any portion of the people,
s'.oald entitle them to act; that their action
could not be obligatory ; Ihnt the convention
was only an advisory counsel, whose notion is
to be confirmed or disaffirmed hy the peoplo ;
and that in order to act,it was not essentia] that
the whole or a majority of the people Rhould
have voted for the delegates. Much of the
merits of the protective policy, of resistance
and submission, of nullification and secession,
was embraced in ihe discussion of tho proposi-
tions of Mr. F. His proposition failed, and a
resolution instructing a committee to enquire
into the evidence of the election of delegates,
and directing the report of that committee to
be submitted to the people, w ith the other pro
ceedings of the convention, prevailed. The
rejection of the scrutiny into the right of the
convention, to speak in the name of the peo
ple, which Mr. F. proposed, was his pretext
for withdrawing—of which withdrawal, more
directly.
No man, who has not heard John Forsyih
in debate, can form any adequate idea of hi* . _
prodigious power; it is absolutely wonderful. I the united and rigorous efforts of the Mibmis
His grace of action and power of voice, is, so
far as I know peerless ; he has no equal in elo
quence of that order to winch excited extem
porary discussions give rise ; you cannot np-
preciate his eloquence from a perusal of his
speeches; his sentiments consulate hut one
halfthe elements of his greatness ; he wields
the feelings of Ihe multitude with the skill and
adroitness of a magician, and can strike down
an adversary with the power of demolition it-
self. It would have amused you to have seen
Mr. Forsyth practice the dortrinc of Nullifi.
ration upon some of tho small frv of the as
sembly.
Col. Cumming has gained no accession of
fame hy his attendance upon Ihe convention.
He has but very moderate parliamentary tal
ents, but is distinguished in the drawing
room, or in sub-committee sessions. His col
loquial talent is commanding. Ilia manner
has more of military frankness and directness
than the beauty or grace of the orator. He
can plan the parliamentary campaign, but
cannot execute the evolutions.
I had been taught lo believe that Alfred
Cuthbert was one of the moat talented and
eloquent of our statesmen, hut you may rely
upon it, he lias exhibited himself here as but
little superior to the veriest school boy dc-
claimer. His efforts here have excited tho
pity, not to say contempt, of his friends. So
much for the bend men and chiefs of tho se
cession. Other men claim a passing notice.
Mr. Berrien stands out from among ordina
ry men, with prominent outline and command
ing proportions. He has not the speed, the
rapidity, and alertness of Achilles, but lie hire
the tremendous energy of Ajax—Forsyth do-
fies all competition, in Guerrilla war ; Ber
rien is the hero of campaigns and seiges.
Forsyih, liko Murat, is unrivalled in the on
set ; and Berrien, like Napoleon, invincible
at Au8lerlitz; the eloquence of Mr. Forsyth,
like the mountain torrent, sparkles, and loams,
and bounds over all impediments ; that of
Mr. Berrien, like ocean’s tide, moves onward
in quiet, swelling, deepening flow, until all ob
jects are merged in iis ample bosom. In the
convention Mr. B. seemed constantly to have
his eye fixed upon results, and could not be
led astray by momentary excitements; always
self-possessed, wary, and furnished, hie cool
nnd dignified oratory foiled the repeated ef
forts of his wily adversary ; and lie finally led
hia friends to the adoption of plans, which he
no doubt had well matured in private. Mr.
B.’s fort is in solemn argument; he is argu
mentative, even logical ; yet, his most abstract
reasonings are embellished with the richest fi.
cures, elm bed will, the purest English, and ac
companied and enforced with a grace and dig
nity of manner inimitable. I have no idea that
Greece, nr Rome, or Britain, furnish in their
long annals two happier models of eloquence
than these gentlemen. Our young country
men would do well to study them.
Judge Clayton is familiar to you. His pen
is more eloquent than his tongue. His mind
teoms with thought, but his thoughts nro but
little aided by his manner. He was not reared
in the Grotto of tho Graces. There is in
Judge C.’s speeches and writings, but litllo of
classic beauty, still lie is impressive. He
produces dial kind of impression which supe
rior intellect ever dnl and ever will produce.
Ilia knowledge is his power; and no man is
more fruitful and ingenious in his illustrations.
Mr. Gilmer delivered one speech, when Ihe
convention was in committee of the whole,
upon tho report of the committee, and was lis
tened to with marked attention. There is a
peculiarity in this genlleman's speeches which
touches ail listeners, and that is, an air breath
ing through every word and every action, of
undoubtiug confidence hi tho rectitude of his
positions; he is always in earnest, seems not
to speak from speculation, but from absolute
conviction. There is also a tremendous force
accompanying Mr. G.’s opinions, growing out
of the entire integrity and frankness of hia
character; no one doubts that he is not God’s
noblest wurk—an honest man. He Iish not
that sell command in debate necessary to the
developement of the high attributes of oratory,
his feelings hurry him away; his sentences,
therefore, are sometimes broken, mid his man
ner rough.
I could speak of others, out I prefer to be
rather a narrator of events, than the chronicler
of men’s merits or demerits.
Mr. Forsyth, alleging that the convention
refused a sufficient scrutiny into the qualifica
tion of its members, seceded-about fifty gen
tlemen, inosily of the Chirk pnriy, followed
him. He quit ihe convention before it had
acted—instead of endeavoring to direct it to
wise results, or even proposing to it any mea
sure whatever, he retired from its delibera
tions. It is said, nnd I have no doubt that the
assertion is true, that this gentleman and Cnh
Cumming came here with a fixed purpose lo
dissolve the convention, to bring it into diste-
pure with the people, and organise new patties
in the slate. In part they have succeeded.
They have done all they could do to strength
en tho Tariff. They have advocated doc
trines the most abjectly submissive. They
have put themselves at the head of the Clark
party to put down the free trade spirit in Geor
gia, and in my humble opinion have^irfeiied
the confidence of every man claiming to be
Georgian. Tho Clark parly have received
them with open arms—the issue is made up—
the parties in Georgia are henceforth to be
known ns Resistance and Submission parties
—Mr. F. and his friends have done this. No
man, who belongs to the Troup party, can now
hesitate as to his course. The. question now
is, not what shall be the mode, blit whether,
with Mr. F. we are lamely and meanly lo sub
mit until Congress shall relieve us. The feel
ing among our friends here, is that nf strong
and deep indignation at the course nf the Se-
cedera. To a man, they seem tu sink all con
troversy about the mode, and unite in advoca
ting tho course of the convention ; we can no
longer falter upon this subject, wo may expect
