HUZZA ! FOR LIBERTY.
We congratulate the friends of Unoin at
the bold and decisive stand taken by the Citi.
zens of Liberty. How nobly, bow faithfully,
From the London Metropolitan.
•* We parted in silonce, we ported by night,
On tho banks of that lonely river, _ -
Where the fragrant limes their boughs unite,
We mot—and we—parted forever!
The night bird sung, and the stars above
Told many a touching story
Of friends long passed to the kingdom of love,
Where the soul wears its mantle of glory.
Wc p: rted in siicncc—our cheeks were wet
With the tears that were past controlling;
We vowed we would never—no, never forget—
Anil those vows at the time were consoling.
But the lips that echoed the vow of mine
Arc as cold as that lonely river;
And that eye, the beautiful spirit’s shrine.
Has shrouded its fires forever.
And row on the midnight sky I look,
And my heart grows full to weeping ;
Eacii star to me is a scaled book,
Some talc of that loved one keeping.
We p: rted in silence—we parted in tears,
On the bank of that lonely river;
But the color and bloom of those by-gone years,
Shall hang o’er its waters forever.”

ed by us ? Shall wo, with this beacon before
us, suffer our fellow citizens to rush madly
into the vortex of nullification, without raising
a warning voice against it ? The answer of
every patriot is anticipated.
. Union Party of Liberty county deem
it their duty to declare, that their stand is ta
ken in favor of the Union of tlie States, and
t e reserved rights of our States, to preserve
whtch even for a single day, they would sac-
nfice their lives and fortunes. They adopt,
therefore the following 3 p
RESOLUTIONS;
1. Resolved. That the “power to annul a
lawofthe United States assumed by one State
is incompatible with the existence of the
Union, contradicted expressly by the Constitu.
tion, unauthorized by its spirit, inconsistent with
eveiy principle on which it was founded, said
destructive of tho great object lor which it
was formed.”
2. Resohed, That tho right of a State to
secede from the. United Stutcs is at variance
with tho design and objects of the Federal
Compact, because all governments, whether
the result of compact or otherwise, aro inten
ded to be perpetual, and therefore do not pro.
vide for their own destruction. But when tho
Federal Government becomes so oppressive
as not to be longer borne, and every consti-
tutional means for redress fails, revolt is the
natural right and the last resort.
3. Resolved, That tho people created the
government, and the people can alter and
amend it & that whenever a question of right
arises between a State or States and the Fed
eral Government, «the people of the Union
assembled by their deputies in Convention at
the call of Congress, or of two thirds of the
States, is the constitutional arbiter.”
4. Resolved, That the ballot box is a safe
refuge from tyranny and oppression, so long
as the people will exercise their own judg
ment an cl not suffer themselves to bo deluded
by designing, ambitious, and aspiring men.
5. Resolved, That the principles which in-
flue need the Hartford Convention in opposing
the act of Congress, declaring war against
Great Britain, are the same as those advoca
ted by tlie friends of nullification under the
specious appellati on of Stale Rights, and which
will at. all times, equally authorize a State to
oppose a declaration of war, an act to collect
imposts, or any other act of the Cougress of
the United States.
6. Resolved, That we hold the Reserved
Rights of the States in the vpry highest es-
timation, nay, even sacred, and will, on all
proper occasions, advocate, maintain, and de
fend them.
7. Resolved, That we approve of tho pres-
ent administration of General Jackson, and
whilst he continues to act with bis accustom-
ed decision and faithfulness, toe hail him as
our second Washington.
The meeting was addressed by Col. Will
iam Maxwell, Dr. C. West, John Dunwoody,
Esq. Maj. J. S. Bulloch, and Dr. R. Harris.
After the adoption of the foregoing Resolu
tions, the following was offered by Dr,. C.
West, and unanimously adopted:
, 8. Resolved, That when this meeting ad-
journs, it adjourn to meet whenever the Pres-
ident and Vice President shall .deem proper
to call it together.
On motion of John Dunwoody, Esq.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this mee-
ting be signed by the President, Vice Presi
dent and Secretaries, and published.
On motion of Dr. Harris,
Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting
be tendered to the President, Vice President
and Secretaries..
The friends of the Union need fear nothing
for Liberty county, as she was the'first in the
State to declare for Union, she will be the last
to desert it.

two great parties in Georgia, rejecting the
names of mcn, and adopting names indica-
tive of principle, have published their creeds.
Dropping some inconvenient epithets, it. is
likely that one of the parties will hereafter
be known aa thi Slate Rights Party, and the

what I conceive to be a true, consistent and
safe construction of the leading doctrines of
those Resolutions, now assumed qsthe ground
of political faith by both parties in Georgia.
