We perceive that at a late 'Public Meeting
In hi in Alabama, a Resolution of thanks was
voted to Judge CI.sVPON, for Iris very able and

There is no member of the Georgia Delcps

(friendly feelings, than Judge Wnw; and,
| while onr poisonal regard ts not diminished—
i (for we bold il u duly to lioap our personal and
j political regards wholly distinct) —wc should he

' consistently, with the political opinions wo en

Wain*; is the avowed supporter of.Mr. V.is Ha
j nc«, a thorough-going Tur'Jf rn in, and a dect

to fasten on us the tyrannical opt es inns of the
Tariff o(T828, than any m in in the Union-—and

to violate the Constitution, and countenance the

Sumo say, that though Judge W vvme dilicts

and charitable, to suppose that ho may do so
honestly; and, - therefore, that it is not right to
punish, or dauhne hostility against, n man. for
an honest cnor. Wo ;v,e ready to admit all this
to the utmost. But, when a man (or the South)
has to choose a gene; al Agent, or He, re

in this ina'lor, travel different Toads, and as this
is the most vitally important of any, or allolhei**
in which you would represent me ; I cannot vote
■ fm you, aa you cannot vote funny opinions and
principles; and neither friend will ol coarse ask
of the other, a sacrifice of honesty or public
duty.” Is nut the case here fairly stated? And
where is the punishment or hostility of any or
all of this? We do not ask of Judge Wayne,
to sacrifice Inn principles for us, -and how can
lie, or Ins friends, ask of us, lo sacrifice »ur prin
ciples, to Aim? Let Atm Jo what kc considers
fits duly, and us, what me consider ours.— Has
ho any natural claim or right to ho elected, more
than any other equally capable man who agrees
with us more perfectly? 'No. Then, since lie
1 has no absolute right elected, there U no
pi.iii-hincnt in not elocthig him.
The above objections and arguments apply
also, equally to Mr..l ouster, who voted w ith
Jndga Wayne; for tho Tariff of 1833; hut he
is not at present aiiandidate for tho suffrages of
the people, as the terni of sen ico for which he
r 1 *
’ was last elected to the Senate, dues trot erpnu,
* we believe, fwi several years.

But there are other important grounds of ob
jection u> the elrt-.tion of Judge W ayne, which
wo have hut recently learned. We understand
3 from gentlemen, and one of them from "Savon
nah, that Ins family resides, permanently, in
some one of tin Noithern States—wo forget
which—probably Cuom client or Massachusetts
—and that he, himself, and his interest, arc pio
j halrly more oat of tho Slate, generally, than
I peihaps a Representative and his iiitmetl
should be.

s Wc have at length roachud that point in our po-
I litical career, who h was, most of all, to have
/ been avoided : the point, where the fc’outh can
. not bear, and the N'orlli cannot vie! 1. Through
all our wearisome mareli to this chemlass spot,
t I drew the consolations -of hope, from the per
. tedious of our Govermiivnl—thu liberality i f
j ourrulois—their »y mpaihy for the distressed—
j their altaclmiclil to thu Union, their love for out
common parents —the integrity of the people—
. the eloquence of the South. Accordingly, I boro
vvi’.h the patience of hope, and the silence of
submission. But boro, all hope from human in
st.iiineiiialiiy forsakes mo. Tito prospect on
every side is dreary, dismal and torrilic. And
, j now, wh.it shall I say, wdut must I think of those,
i no. having forced mo against my consent, and
! v. i:!i increasing exhaustion, to this rightful spot,
:: ivv upbraid mo with aitgoi’s hitturcsl language
because I rofuso to linger here, until tiny can

I'u ib-.i hoim-bom nml homebred Amcrior.n,
whose itt ichment to tho Union has alone sup.

of a (lemagngmi to the perpetuity of tho Union !
To the m in, who has libn ally given to a thank
less hr thor, from the iiu .igro gleamings of a
wasliug '-stale, for near a scoto of years, how
mortifying, to hear from that brother, when ml
ling in wealth and nxury, such ! inguaae as this :
" I cannot live if you withhold your tribute—
at the bayom t’s point I will iiave it. True, you |
ever protested against my elaiui lo it, vou warn |
ud me not to roly upon it, you declared that you ■
would not always submit lu it—hat you belied i
these decdar.itiens so long and so often, that 1
lost confidence in them. .Motcuvcr, vour nearest
neighbors assisted mu fin several years in ex
tolling from yon the bounty winch I now claim,
amt they too are complaining. Will you a, I
like them ? Titcy have-ever been opposed to
your it.te •nor even do they now cc-m U-sci i.d

resist my claims without Co oper itii g vvnli tliem. !

£ ture favors, wbeii tt shall be convenient for tnc
- to grant them,"
j Such is the treatment ami language, to which ]
r my trtate, myself, and alt, who would urge |
Georgia lo assume a lioslile altitude lo the A
, j merican b’yslein, must submit. And im, the
j veiAple or the Sccru! are to have the blame
s of tbu present disturbances, because we cannot
j ■ feel the force ol these a-guments. Wo, who j
j! ask nothing—who contend for nothing mute, |
s ; than that we may he vo huger taxed, in order j
s j that onr Northern brethren may pursue u panic j
} I ular occupation. We, who have home the lax (
j sixteen years, submissively, if nut patiently, ate I
. i which may result from an effort of Oar Nonhcrn j
9 i -brethren to coerce us to submission, until they j
j.isliail be jdaased to tegard us with pity. Ami
e * what a spectacle docs the Unioti exhibit at this
alarming juncture. Thu North, calm and collect
od,glo.yiugiii Imr strength, and r;oling in vvcal.h
—denouncing us as traitors, and bidding us de
li fiance. Rallying to the standard of the arch of
j tender against our righ-.e, she strangles the last
. breathings of hope from her clemency. The
i, South, divided against herself; ono po.lion of
I her citizens urging her to maintain her rights at
h all hazaids—and another portion doing all in
their power to ahum and dispirit them. At the
I, Nuitb,-assemblies couvctied to devise nioasuies
t of reconciliation—dissolved in tumult and riot.
\t the t>oulh, assemblies convened lo devise
measures ot redress, denounced by other meet
ings, as dangerous, unwarrantably, ami wean
stitutio/ial. At the North, scarcely one press
hiealljiug toward* us a kind, consolitory or ns
suasivo seJilimcnt. At the South, a-tnnjority of
u our presses, ttroining with essays-of every form
, and :feature, whivdt can alarm mortify, or
~ win us to patienea and submission. I’iii.nd
;j against ffitavd—.brother against brother, father
(i against son. All admitting the grievance, and
< yet, expciiilmajiui wit, our sarcasm, our physi
„ cal and moral ctrnagth upon ca-di other, bectnir*
wc oammt agree-as to the remedy. ‘‘Those
ere the results of the Tai iff,” ami yot, they are
