\>> pre.ent in anotlier column the proceedings of
lpublic meeting held in this place, ht the call of our
To*n Commissioners, on Friday and Saturday last.
The meeting was large and respectable, .flu) comluc.
ted with great rr 'oration. considering the inflainato.
rj lutjocls introduced and discussed, and the oxer-
tions of a few to make them instrumental in getting
ao in our community in extra excitement. But ow
ing to the judicious course pursued by many of onr
fii-nds of the nullification parly, among whom Judge
Clijlou distinguished himself, (and for which he do-
ntfti tho unqualified approbation of every frier.d of
peac" and good order,) and to tho good sense of our
citirms conerally. it passed off harmoniously. We
ti* gls.l that tho meeting took the turn it did, he.
cause its remits prove two very important things,
namely, the truth of our assertion tw o or three weoks
sines, tlut on the question which now agitates tho
country, fat least in our own immediate vicinity) there
ia r.o diversity of opinion ; and that we are all, with
kut lew exceptions, prepared Jo meet it, not in tho
•pirii of blind fanaticism, but in the sober exercise of
ill o,ir reasoning faculties.
We voted w ith much pleasure for the preamble
and resolutions ; and did so without contradicting in
tbs least, or withdrawing, a single assertion which
vs had before advanced in connexion with the topics
therein contained. Some of our opponents, whoso
province it is to misrepresent and distort every
thing we do and say, will no doubt be ready to charge
Os with inconsistency in voting for that part of the
preamble and resolution which expressly denies the
correctness of the charge (if it has ever keen made)
that " a very large portion of onr citizens” are dis
posed to favor the ** designs” of the abolitionists.
Some of our personal enemies have been very busy in
distorting some observations of ours a few weeks ago
into a charge of this kind, and in circulating the
slander for the gratification of their private, malig.
nani feeling* towards us. We hare before denied the
charge, and we do it again. We have never said,
aor do wo believe, that ** a very large portion of our
citizens” are disposed to favor the “ designs” of those
incendiaries. But wn have said and we say it again,
tint the leaders of nullification (the Carolina junto
particularly) are disposed to use them for party pnr.
poses. And for tho truth of this assertion we appeal
to the late course, on the subject, of Gen. Duff Green,
whom they have “ set up” at Washington City as a'
Tlie Gubernatorial Flection.
In this election the people of Georgia will for the
first time have brought directly before them, tunin-
cumbered by extraneous matters and circumstances)
the question of UNION OR NULLIFICATION, for
their settlement. It is true, on former occasions,
nullifiers have been before them as candidates for
their suffrages; but they have always been on tick
ets with others who were not, as was the case last
fall for Congress, or who claimed, as in the case
of Joel Crawford when he opposed Wilson Lumpkin,
to be anti-nullifiera—we repeat that the true question
has never before bean fairly before the people. But
thanks to the stn’obomness of the whole hog nulhes,
the issue has at length been made, and the good peo-
pie of Georgia allowed an opportunity of deciding it
forever. Judge Schley, a Union Democratic Repub
lican of the old school, and Judge Dougherty, an open
and uncompromising nullifier of the Calhoun stamp
■—(“ fair representatives of the principles nf their res
pective parties”)—are before the people for the high
cat office within tho gift of theStRte—therefore they
cannot he distracted and divided as heretofore—the
dose offered to them is not of a mixed character, but
one of pure, unalloyed nullification.
Judge Schley is accused of being originally a fed.
cralist; and upon this charge the nullifiore trust their
whole hope of reconciling that portion of their party
to Judge Dougherty, who are opposed to nullification
But will that intelligent portion of the people allow
themsclvos to he gulled into his support by a device
so weak and contemptible 7 What are the true
grounds upon which this charge is founded against
Judge Schley 7 Why, he, when a youth, was op-
posed to the restrictive measures (the embargo and
| non intercourse) of Mr. Madison’s administration,and
I to.th-; policy and expediency of the declaration of
war in 1812. Does this prove that ho was then
much less now, a federalist ? If it doos, then were,
and still are federalists, many of the most distinguish,
ed of those who are recognized as republicans of the
present day—then wore, and still are federalists
John Forsyth, John McPherson Berrien, John R»n
dolph of Roanoke. A. S■ Clayton, and many others
equally distinguished of our public men. If Judgi
Schley is a federalist, because of his opposition to
the measures spoken of, then are John McPherson
Berrien and A. S. Claytion federalists—the two ring
leaders of the Terj party whe aro striving to fix the
charge upon him. for it is well known that they did
not only oppose the expediency of those measures, but
their execution. They will not admit, however, that
this constitutes them federalists; then away with the
charge against Judge Schley. Admitting, for argu
mont sake, that Judge Schley was a federalist in 1808
in the most obnoxious sense of the term—would that
prove that he is, or has been such for tho'last 25
years ? Not at all. As well might it be said (to com.
pare sacred with secular things) that the Apostle
Paul, who once persecuted the Saviour, continued
to be his persecutor whilst preaching his gospel, and
laying down his lifo in his cause ! If Judge Schley
was a federalist in 1808, in the odious acceptation of
the term (which we deny) has he been such since his
entrance into public life 7 Is he now ? No ! we
dare our opponents to place thoir fingorupon one sin.
glo act of his public life which even savors of it.
Admitting then, for argument sake, that he was once
a federalist—he is not such now. Why then visit
the sins of his youth (supposing him to have sinned
in this respoct) upon his manhood ?
And while this charge of federalism is resounded
by the nulties far and wide—from tho centre to the
circumference of the State—against Judgo Schley,
Charles Dougherty is held up by them not only as
th s pink of nullification, but of republicanism! That
he is the very pink of nullification we will not deny
—but liow stands liis republicanism ? Did he not
vote in the Legislature of Georgia for postponing
the survey and possession of the Cherokee country,
until after the permission of the President of the U.
States was had 7 What kind of Republicanism is

Green speaks their sentiments, and we will acquit I
them, (as ne have tho great body of the State Rights

north for political purposes. And what has been the
course of this acknowledged organ and mouth piece
of the nullification leaders ? Hear him on the sub
ject of the present movement at tho north, which has
ken gotten up avowedly for the purposo of putting
down tho abolitionists. He says—
" But Mr. Webster and the leading whigs of tho
North, it seems, are lo hold a meeting to denounce

Let tho nullifiers continue to cry out federalism, fed-
eralism, against Judge Schley -until they shall have
“ cracked their cheeks,” we defy them to produco a
single act of bis public life, which smells so strongly
of federal consolidation, as this act of that immacu
late Republican, Charles Dougherty, Esq.
Whatever may have beon the sins of Judge Schley’s
boyhood, it is well known that ever since his entrance
into public life he has bean a good and consistent re-
publican—always acting with and supporting the re.
publican party, known as such throughout the Uni
ted States; and he is now found in its ranks, ably
and manfully contending for its principles. Can as
much be said of Charles Dougherty 7 Where does
he now stand 7 This is tho question, and upon it
turns the justness of his claims to the suffrages of
the freemen of Georgia. Does he now act with the
great republican party of the Upited States, at the
head of which is Jackson, Matlison, Van Buren, U>
con, and other veterans of democracy ? or is he not
leagued with tho Whigs of the north—the Tarriffites
of the west and the Nullifiers of the South, (at the
head of which tactions are Webster, Clay and Cal.

against it 7 He is an open and zealous enemy of
Jackson and tho republican party, and a nullifier
