The only way to preserve an honorable pence, is by speaking out, one and all, boldly and manfully, tho feelings and opinions of the ■Stall—that they who might otherwise be misled by a seemingly tacit acquiescence on the part of the people, into a fruitless clVo t to enforce the decision, may be warned ofthe consequences of such a Me ~ e u it In. too late to preserve peace, and that Uninv, so continually in the mouths of on o minnis, which would inevitably lie forever severed by any act of coercion on the part ofthe gi him nl government. The Uielirnund 1 Inquirer, in speaking of the decision, says, “ L strikes nl tbe sovereignly of tlie Slates—while, we humbly conceive, it i< fraught with no a gmnents, which cam cany irre sistible conviction, or justify Iho ala ruing at tempt.” And the New Vo I; Courier and T.n qttirer, says, in concluding its remarks on the decision, and the outcries of those N irtliern faint ties, who are in favor of il—“Ou New ling land ancestors killed oil’all their Indians, mid rc tu nod thanks for having done so—they now seek to vvoiry Georgia, who more humanely wishes her Indians to emigrate to a better country. The whole afl’ui - , from beginning tn end, is a mice political t iek—an anxiety to misli on mischief, and strengthen the Church and Stale party.” \V • again say, let the o; iuions and feelings of the Statu he spoken out, openly and | lain’y, exactly as they are —that they may he funlv known, both at homo and tihroad, and each par ty properly advised, and prepared to act under standingly, in whatever measures it may take.

Indeed, so far as the Courier itself is concerned, and perhaps its anonymous cor resuorulenl also, wo should have deemed U alto gether unnecessary to reply—and particularly alter Mr. Tamar, with that independence, fear lessness, and love of truth, which form so slri king and honorable a part of bis character, has openly stopped forward and branded upon the denial the charge of folstluH'd —but that some poisons, who ditfo. f our those Georgians, might choose, for political effect, to const uo ou. si lence into a tail admission of the tnth of that denial, however they might believe to the con trary. I 4 or our own credibility in the matter, wo tear nothing. Humble though we are, we are as capable ol estimating the value of truth, and the consequences of a uniform adherence to-it, I ns any man; and wc fool frmly conscious, that tlm people of Auausta, who have had a continu al opportunity of marking our professional course for many yours, however they may differ Horn us in opinion, will neither doubt our truth, not the honesty of our opinions, whatever they may think of their honest errors—at least, not when oik credibility comes ifi contact, either with the editor of the Courier,or an anonymous informant. .1 Tile statement which called fo;th the denial |of the Couriu', was as follows : “A number of | (i.'o plans were present, and took seats with the i Delegatus —all known to ho in the city having 1 been * eehilly invited to do so—and we believe I they all heartily concurred in the proceedings, ami partook of the patriotic sprit that dictated (hem,” We have not the denial of the editor of 1i,,. ier now by in, but, if we recollect right ly, be cliosti so far to misrepresent the above, as out the qualification, “wo believe,” and b,y cm.sidotalilo stress on the word ••all”—thus quoting, and using, as a positive and unqualified assert inn, what was simply expressed as a Ld’cf. The wilful injustice and malignant artfulness ol ibis, is evident. To justify the assertion Ids garbled statement has made out Torus, wc were Pound to have known the individual opinions of “all” the ‘ Georgians present,” by li st enqniiing them individually; ami it is presumable be was aware, that while his statement implied that we had done so, or that wo had a reckless disposi tion to make unqualified asset lions of what we wished rather than wh at wo I:new, his showing of even one dis enter, only, (his informant.) would [ l iiuly disptov e the assertion so far, and leave good reasons for a belief, that if it was un true so far, it might ho farther, and as much fui ■ iher as ho chose to indicate, on the authority o, his informant. Now, what must honest men think of fl igranl ; nr version and injustice like this! Who is safe against such conduct, he the I nth or honesty of i statements what they may? And, since each man, he he who ho may, may at some lime or other he so injured and that 100 without the means of redress, for v fall the wilful misrepresentations of the Cou ier against us, & which wo have fully disproved, notone has been col lected in that paper —it is evidently the duly of every man to set his face against such conduct, he his political opinions t\ lial Ihay may. for eve y honest man is interested, even for his own sake, in the punishment ol injustice and llio suppression of falsehood. We cert up. ! not n, at i us of “all the (o-e.giHti present lea ,1()i did our s‘u •* r-nl indicate li. id- 11 had we done si c should then ot co h.” ’ ■ sort od whattb-x actually won;, and not ’ wc bdiercil tin' were. We spoke on n icct, to all whole we had an opportunity king with on the Hour; and from what car i ■ said ■ for himself, and for others whom i • ton versed with, were fully justified in i mg that “all the Georgian* ) i ,d hearldv ur red,” Art', i I was net tfll after W -tin ten and (inwall id Idle • Wc m of a single one i... .. -*-nlcd; ami even we have hea d bo names of but lire “lb pans present" vv e\ i ” concur. l-’iorn vrh 1 -ier rav •of the dar ammiers, ■< o ... eel confident ll vv. .nm li him wc mistake not is die one v- i. .mm ■ u "si poe.nliaily conspicuous, by his dunimeiatiuiv o Nullification and Mr. Calhoun, on sundiy occa ' sions, and in places peculiaily unusual and ini proper —of that N.'fllifiealion, in relation to which ' in arguments with us, when pressed for bis tea sons against it, bn lias repeatedly said, “ I agrei ' with you in principle”—and of that sumo Mr Calhoun, too, whom ho, hut a few years ago openly advocated in our Legislatu. o, as a can didafe for the I’resideney, in o|ipositiou to fieri : Jackson and Mr. Crawford—and wo believe of f lured resolutions to that effect—violent a Jack i son and Anti Calhoun man as he is now. Am what are his opinions worth, either in ielution li Nullification, Mr. Calhoun, or any great j übli, question, so far as p.ineiplo is concerned. Due ■ he closely inrestipalc | uhlic questions, mu) de cideon them so: himself alone, and with refer ■ nnco to truth and piinciplo only, regardless o • men, or popularity? Or, as the Coin ier indicate; ■ (we forgot its exact wo;ds) is lie not a man u “no; ular manners," Ac. and a popular man, i r popularity seeking man. and one who, in forming ’ his opinions, looks to what is popular, or will be, > rather than to what ought to he, and therefore 1 does not think for himself? And have we not known him, while a representative in (lie I.cgis f lalurc, to change his opinions, on a vitally im. , po- taut subject to come be foe that body, f. om r one side to the other, several times, n as many days! —And, was he. ono ot the “Georgians pre* • sent” at the second meeting, of which wc spoke, . in the which called foith his cortrndic l lion? Wc arc inclined to think not. We did , not see. hint there, nor have wo lioardofhis behm s there ; and, bom his urging ns nut to attend the ! •“ sl . on the ground that he believed (lie building , would fall, as a judgment from heaven on the t Nuilitieis, one might have expected that he would , 1101 lli,v « attended that, either; and, but for bis , conduct there, which took place du ing our , absence, vve pci haps should not have known that he was there. Wo regret to come thus in conflict with him ; for, notwithstanding all this, there is much in him lliut wo admbe; and, sen sible that ho possesses gieat popular means, and , powers of doing good, we have always been ready to aid him in i tty good onterprize, and tc do him evert mine than justice whenever we have spoken of him ; but be has cause to know, , fi°m oilier instances than this, that wo never I permit our personal regards to check our proses , sional duties, and that wo consider the cause ol truth ami justice us paramount to all other con siderations. We feel no less friendly to him, personally, for anything ho has done, or wc have said, in this matter ; fur the weakness h c has evinced is by no means unusual with him, and vve have permitted no personal feeling to enter , 1,1,0 »hat which vve have said of him ; which vve considered duo to the cause ho has assailed—a cause which, whatever he or otheis may think of it, and however unpopular it may he for the moment, wo consider the greatest, the purest, the noblest, and the most important, that lias agitated this country since the days of the Rev olution and that on Us final success depends the libftities, happiness, arid prosperity of the coun try, the purity of its institutions, and the perpe tuity ol the Uttiotr. 1 * As to the political opinions of tire editor of the * Courier, on this or any other subject, they have : so completely played the vvealhcrvnne to everv i popular breeze, “boo’d and boo’d ” to every i change of circumstances, and danced to eve \ i popular tune—" up the middle and down again, 1 change hands and hack again”—that they lav 0 2 long not been worth a straw, in the estimation . of intelligent men, and arc scarcely cv cr men I tinned hut as objects of ridicule or rei-roach. f There is hut one thing in which he hnshecn coin b si-tent, except inconsistency, and that is abuse ol r (ho South, and cveiy thing Southern, republican, o or patriotic—every thing connected with >l‘° , cauS o of the South, its interests, and prosperity, i 1 and the defence of its honor and character, it- j f gainst its assailants font ahioad. And yet ho * talks patriotism, republicanism, honor, Ac. j s in nB <* learned nspiit ” as any political la so of ’■ them all, and till each render is almost ready to | s exclaim, with Othello. “ this fellow’s of exceed- I inn honestj!" Talks! yes, “ Gods, how he does * talk!” But, ,(• •'Tims do all trailers ; 3 If their piirgaiinn did cr-nsi-'l in r routs. They were as inincenl a« grace itself.” 13 Ho prides himself in being among tho first to f oppose Nullification. Yes, and that is consistent, " too. When was ho not among the first to op * pose anything in support of the interests, honor, ‘ eharnctcf, institutions, or liberties of the Stale in which hc was bo n, and her i ureal and no blest pall iots-or tho State in which he earns his " bread?—and not affectedly prone! of it, too? ' And wlial knows lio about Nullification ? W bat 1 reasonable a gmnen! did ho ever urge against it? What feeling or quality appeal to, but prejudice, r ignorance, or fear? or what evidence give, that lie understand* it—or ought in relation to it, ex cept that it is not popular with the enemies of ' the South and his native Slate ? No wonder that l ’ i, s does not lik i it. It relies not on any of those * political clap-traps, popular whims and prejudi ’ ecs, threadhiuc pat.iolisms, mere sayings, por sonal (I ittcries, and cringings to men and power, which save tire trouble of investigation, spare * .(|,o labor of argument, and the iulelh S gonce, and have long been considmcd the safe and easy toad to popularity. It is n cause ol ’ princi.de—ono that requires labor, to investigate > |( intelligence, to understand it—patriotism, to * respect it—com ago, to avow it—reason and ar ' ijmnciit, to sustain it—patience and fortitude, to hears its trials —and unbending confnlcn o in the f ultimate success of truth and virtue, to await its 1 i itrniphs. It is notan every-day cause of you’ ! “ small beer politicians,” appealing to their aid, full of their individual consequence, controlled 3 by their petty intrigues, waiting theii nods, cx ’ ailed by their huzzas, or humbled by their do -3 nunciations—and therefore it .is no wonder that I it should not have their support, in its dav of trial, nor till that day of its glory and triumph, when 3 they will assuredly cling to it with monr seeming love and devotion, than its oldest and most con- II sister.l advocates; and their “ huzza for Nidi ifi cation,” will then bo no less bun!, long, and b e u quenl, than their eleventh-hour “ huzza for Jack s sou.”—Vvl.cn was their voice ever lh» tost ol t nth, or their popularity the test of me ill—and ir what great and good principles, or men, in joli ■d tics or religion, ivoni llio unuimii i epuhlit-a ami o tho t.’li. islian ora, to llio present day. have ever 10 reached the pinnacle of fame, or the standard as of universal approbation, without having passed t- th ough the o:deal of their direst abuse, their i- stoutest opposition, and their most malignant t. and unsparing pc:sedition?

And 1- since returning, we find that our conjecture, as ir to the identity of tho Couiier's iufoi inarit, iscor y reel. On reference to the Courier’s ailtole, too, vve find,that in addition to tho gross misrepresen r. lation lofoiTcd to, it even represents us to have > said that all the Georgians in the city, instead of d “ all the Georgians present ” at tho Contention, g -as wo believed, “heartily concurred,” Ac, e Shame, shame! e COTTON MARKETS.

Savannah, March, 18.32 Considerable business appears to bo doing ' here, but net so mm h as about three weeks ago, when 1 passed through the streets, while on my way to Charleston, us the Steam Packet lay for about an hour at the w hurt’. A large quantity of 1 shipping was then at the wharves and in the bar- ' hour—about thirty sail of which went to sen in two days, about the 15. d and 4th insl.—and the : lading and unlading of vessels, the songs of the stevedores, the yeo heave yco, of the seamen, the rattling of drays, and the crowding, and pas j sing and repassing, of men, vehicles, goods, Ac. j in every direction, gave peculiar life ami aniiiui- 1 tiun to the city and its business, and made it all j look like Bavatmahii) its best and proudest days. ; It is not now as it was, era ilio desolating do merit had swept over it again and again—tiid , the still more desolating b eath of that tiKmslei. ! ,i . i rim TurillZ— which has withered away the pros j polity of every Southern city, and village, and j valley, cud still poisons the atmosphere of every i plantation, ami tubs the indust, ions husband ( man of the best foils of his labor—'earing him ; to wonder, that a country so blest by Provi- | denoe with almost every natural gift that conk! j possibly be bestowed on it, should become .a I prey to so much poverty ami desolation, and I yield so little pirofil to the labor exerted on it,— ■ Vet still, tdavamiah has much left of its fo.mer self—die splendor of its buildings, the taste and beauty of in daughters, and the intelligence of its inhabitants, and their gciioions and sump* limns hospitality. And while tho stranger pau ses to adiuiic tho one alnl pat lake of tho other, he may look around him occasionally, and find much to iute xst in tho scenes which meet his eye. A strikingly beautiful view of the citv, and country around, is to bo mot with from the 1 cupola of the Exchange, a large brick building on the Bay, in which is the Post Office, the i Custom House, Council Boom, Public Ball ' Room, Aic. &o. From the cu, ola may lie I seen tho city, stretching up and down the river, i and far oat to the South, S. E. and S. \V. over i the river, iu tho N. and N. W. and on the Islands, i the j laiitalions of Gov. Hamilton, Mr. Spald ing, Mr. Sea crook, Mr. Ciujoeu, and olho-s— i to the S. E. the plantations of Mr. IVntinu, Col. ( Tattnall, and others, and on a clear day, the I Light House at Ty hoc, about 17 or 2l) miles dis. taut—and to the S ,on the common, a slant dis- ; tauce beyond the city, Cantonment Oglethorpe, i gan ironed by United Slates troops, under the i command of.Capt.

This Arsenal (which, i with some few exceptions, I would suggest j as a suitable model for the one contemplated by 1 some of the citizens of Augusta, who I believe i have corresponded with tho Governor on the t subject through Gen. Montgomery— to whom I the people of Augusta are much indebted for I his attention to tho subject—and solicited v liiin to lay it before the Legislature at its next i session, with a recommendation of a suitable I appropriation, &c.) is built of brick, with thick t "’alls, plastered outside in imitation of stone—its i size CO by GO and two stories high—a door in * front, of common size, and one at one end, much g larger, to admit cannon on carriages, and one at t the back, opening into a small lot, the length of a tbo building and about 20 feet wide, round | ; which, is a high wall. The improvements I: s would suggest, arc, thicker walls; a somewhat c larger size; a flat roof, or one nearly so, with u 1 parapet wall around, as high us the breast; and c a larger lot, to extend entirely round the build- j '■>s- —The building contains very few aims, and p but little ammunition—a few cannon of diflerent r sizes, and a few stand of small arms—if 1 reeol- 0 loct rightly, less than a hundred—and some can- I non ball and grape shot.
